Ainsi que nous l’avions annoncé en mai de cette année, l’enquête menée par notre comité d’audit, assisté de conseillers externes indépendants, a nécessité une révision en profondeur de certaines données comptables, en particulier pour les exercices 2011et 2012. En préalable à la publication du formulaire 10-K, qui doit être finalisé et remis à l’US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), et dont dépend la publication du rapport qui vous est destiné, nous avions impérativement besoin de connaître l’issue de ces enquêtes. Celles-ci ont mis en lumière un problème de valorisation des stocks de notre produit Revue, abandonné depuis. En conséquence, nous avons dû procéder à une correction de ces valeurs, augmentant le coût des biens vendus au quatrième trimestre de l'exercice 2011, ainsi que les réserves d'inventaire et les dettes de fournisseurs de composants. Cette correction a induit une baisse du bénéfice net pour l’exercice 2011, celle-ci étant contrebalancée par une hausse identique du bénéfice en 2012. Nous avons aussi apporté d'autres corrections, mineures, aux comptes financiers apparaissant dans le formulaire 10-K et le rapport annuel. La révision en profondeur, achevée fin octobre, nous donne l’assurance que nos comptes pour les exercices précédents et l’exercice en cours sont désormais exacts. En corollaire, nous avons renforcé notre fonction finance en engageant des collaborateurs familiarisés avec les spécificités des Principes Comptables Généralement Admis aux Etats-Unis (US GAAP) et mis en place des pratiques plus rigoureuses. Nous avons communiqué les conclusions de notre enquête interne à l’autorité de la Bourse américaine (SEC), qui continue sa propre enquête sur certains des mêmes aspects comptables, et poursuivons notre collaboration avec eux afin de clore définitivement le dossier. Revue des activités Nous vous adressons généralement notre lettre annuelle peu après la fin de chaque exercice. Mais le retard de publication de ce rapport annuel 2014 a reporté l'envoi de cette lettre après le premier semestre de l'exercice 2015. C'est pourquoi nous couvrirons l'exercice 2014 tout en incluant, le cas échéant, des données relatives à l'exercice 2015. L'exercice 2014, qui s’est achevé le 31 mars dernier, a été très bon pour Logitech. Il a marqué un tournant dans l'évolution de notre société et nous a permis de dépasser les objectifs de notre plan de redressement: • Nous avons enregistré notre première année de croissance depuis 2011, avec un chiffre d'affaires de 2,12 milliards de dollars, en hausse de 1 % par rapport à l'exercice 2013. • Nous avons dépassé nos prévisions de rentabilité initiales pour l'exercice 2014, avec un résultat opérationnel US GAAP de 77 millions de dollars, contre une perte d'exploitation enregistrée durant l'exercice 2013. • Notre bénéfice par action US GAAP pour 2014 s'élevait à 0,46 $, contre -1,42 $ l'an dernier.

La solide performance financière enregistrée en 2014 est le fruit de notre stratégie de redressement, qui avance sur de nombreux fronts. Notre stratégie comprend: • La génération du chiffre d'affaires dans nos catégories au plus fort potentiel, • L'optimisation de la rentabilité de nos catégories de périphériques PC, • Le rétablissement de la rentabilité opérationnelle de deux secteurs d’activité, à savoir LifeSize et télécommandes Harmony. Favoriser la croissance Notre catégorie de croissance comprend les périphériques pour les jeux vidéo, les accessoires pour tablettes ainsi que les haut-parleurs mobiles. Ensemble, ces trois secteurs d’activité ont affiché une croissance de 50% par rapport à l'exercice précèdent. Nous sommes fiers des produits que nous avons conçus et la réaction positive des consommateurs se traduit dans la progression de notre part de marché. Dans le secteur de périphériques pour les jeux vidéo, en hausse de 29% en 2014, nos nouvelles souris « gaming » ont été un succès. La souris de jeu sans fil Logitech G602 Wireless Gaming Mouse a été bien accueillie depuis son lancement en août 2013. Elle offre une autonomie sans précédent de 250 heures, soit plus de 20 fois celle de la souris équivalente de notre principal concurrent. La souris Logitech G502 Proteus Core Tunable Gaming Mouse, commercialisée à la fin de l'exercice 2014, a dépassé nos attentes et celles du marché, générant la forte progression de notre part de marché au premier semestre de l'exercice 2015. Nos casques de jeu affichent, eux aussi, des performances toujours supérieures à celles du marché, le casque de jeu G930 Gaming Headset restant la meilleure vente mondiale. Avec une gamme de produits complètement rafraîchie, les progrès réalisés dans le secteur de périphériques pour les jeux vidéo sont très encourageants. Le secteur d’accessoires pour tablettes et d’autres accessoires a progressé de 44 % au cours de l'exercice 2014. Les ventes de claviers pour tablettes iPad constituent le principal moteur de cette croissance. Au cours de l'exercice, nous avons également commercialisé des claviers et étuis de protection pour les produits Samsung et élargi notre gamme de produits pour iPad avec des étuis de protection. Nous sommes satisfaits de la performance de nos produits pour tablettes, tenant compte du fait que le marché a, pour sa part, ralenti ces derniers mois, ce qui a pesé sur la dynamique commerciale de ce segment au premier semestre de l'exercice 2015. Nous demeurons cependant confiants quant à l'avenir de cette catégorie et nous avons prévu le lancement dans un futur proche de modèles innovants pour les nouvelles générations de tablettes Apple et Samsung. La catégorie haut-parleurs mobile a bondi de 161% au cours de l'exercice 2014, grâce à l'UE BOOM Bluetooth speaker, qui a remporté de nombreux prix de design et a continué à tenir toutes ses promesses au premier semestre de l'exercice 2015 avec le renforcement de sa présence dans les points de vente et le lancement de nouvelles fonctionnalités et d'éditions spéciales. En comparaison annuelle, le chiffre d'affaires de cette catégorie a doublé au cours de chacun des six derniers trimestres. Optimiser les bénéfices Dans un marché en déclin, notre objectif pour les périphériques PC consiste à optimiser leur rentabilité par des innovations sélectives. Durant l'exercice 2014, la rentabilité accrue de cette catégorie nous a notamment permis d'investir dans nos catégories de croissance. Notre part de marché a par ailleurs progressé dans la plupart des gammes de produits que comprend cette catégorie. Le clavier Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 est l'une de nos réussites. Les consommateurs l'ont largement adopté pour une utilisation au salon, une nouvelle tendance que nous avons commencé à exploiter. Nous avons lancé avec succès de nouveaux produits dans notre gamme pour Communications Unifiées, destinée prioritairement aux entreprises. Dans cette catégorie, la croissance est à mettre au crédit du succès commercial de la ConferenceCam CC3000e. Renouer avec la rentabilité Au cours de l'exercice 2014, notre objectif pour les secteurs d’activité LifeSize et télécommandes Harmony était de renouer avec la rentabilité opérationnelle, et nous l'avons atteint. Construire le Logitech de Demain Dans le cadre d’une Vision à long terme, nous voulons faire de Logitech un innovateur puissant et une société de Design. Dans ce contexte, "Design" ne signifie pas simplement le choix de couleurs ou de formes. Dans le sens le plus large du terme, tel que nous le considérons, le Design avec un D majuscule, c'est l'amalgame d'une technologie de pointe, de l'innovation et de la connaissance des attentes des consommateurs afin d’offrir des expériences utilisateur inoubliables. Nous sommes convaincus que le Design, tel que défini ci-dessus, constitue un levier stratégique synonyme de différenciation et générateur de valeur ajoutée pour notre entreprise. Durant l'exercice 2014, nous avons recruté un Chief Design Officer, ainsi que d’autres talents, afin de nous aider à concrétiser cette Vision. Premiers signes de ce renouveau, les produits Design lancés au cours de cette même période nous ont permis de remporter plus de 20 prix de design, un chiffre sans précédent. La transformation de Logitech en une société de Design, qui n’est qu’à ses tout débuts, est donc sur la bonne voie. Culturellement, nous nous efforçons de retrouver l’esprit et d'agir comme une petite entreprise afin de gagner en rapidité, en simplicité et en réactivité. Après avoir mis à plat la structure organisationnelle l'an dernier, nous avons cette année entrepris de renforcer les sites clés, tout en promouvant un environnement de travail plus collaboratif, et en décloisonnant les espaces de travail. Même si nous nous réjouissons de notre bonne performance pour l'exercice 2014, nous avons conscience que nous sommes encore en pleine transformation. Pour pérenniser notre progrès, nous nous efforcerons: • D'alimenter la croissance. Nous soutenons les ventes de nos catégories de croissance actuelles, tout en alimentant les nouveaux moteurs de la croissance, que nous appelons les graines.

Wir möchten diesen Brief deshalb mit der Begründung für diese Verzögerung beginnen. Wie wir im Mai dieses Jahres angekündigt haben, hat unser Rechnungsprüfungsausschuss (Audit Committee) mit Unterstützung von unabhängigen Beratern Abklärungen für bestimmte Bereiche unserer Buchhaltung vorgenommen. Wir benötigten die Resultate dieser Abklärungen, um unsere Bilanzen aus den Vorjahren entweder zu bestätigen oder zu korrigieren, und zwar bevor wir unseren Jahresabschluss mit dem Formular 10-K bei der U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) einreichen konnten, denn dieses Formular enthält auch Leistungsberichte aus den Vorjahren. Der 10-K-Bericht wiederum musste fertiggestellt und eingereicht werden, bevor wir den Geschäftsbericht, den wir Ihnen in der Beilage zustellen, veröffentlichen konnten. Die Abklärungen haben ergeben, dass unsere Jahresabschlüsse für die Geschäftsjahre 2011 und 2012 revidiert werden mussten, weil die Rückstellungen für Lagerbestände für unser nicht mehr weitergeführtes Revue-Produkt fehlerhaft ausgewiesen worden waren. Die Berichtigung resultierte in einer Erhöhung der Kosten der im vierten Quartal des Geschäftsjahres 2011 verkauften Produkte und einer Erhöhung der Rückstellungen für Lagerbestände und Lieferantenhaftung für Komponenten. Dies führte zu einer Reduktion des Nettoertrags für das Geschäftsjahr 2011 und zu einer entsprechende Erhöhung des Nettoertrags für das Geschäftsjahr 2012. Aufgrund der Anpassungen des Jahresabschlusses nahmen wir weitere immaterielle Korrekturen der Jahresabschlüsse am 10-K-Formblatt und am Geschäftsbericht vor. Abgesehen von der Notwendigkeit gewisser Anpassungen und Korrekturen haben die Nachprüfungen aufgezeigt, dass bestimmte Abläufe im Buchhaltungsteam nicht den allgemein anerkannten Rechnungslegungsgrundsätzen (GAAP) entsprachen und dass bei unserem Mitarbeiterstab Lücken in einzelnen Kompetenzbereichen vorhanden waren. Wir arbeiten daran, diese Probleme durch mehr Disziplin in unseren Abläufen und Verfahren und durch neue, entsprechend qualifizierte Mitarbeitende zu beheben. Wir bedauern die verspätete Publikation des Geschäftsberichts 2014. Nachdem die Nachforschungen Ende Oktober 2014 abgeschlossen worden sind, ist es uns nun jedoch wieder möglich, konzentriert auf unsere Geschäftsziele hinzuarbeiten. Wir haben heute die Gewissheit, dass unsere Bilanzen der letzten Jahre korrekt und unsere Rechnungslegungsverfahren solide sind und dass wir über ein kompetentes Finanzteam verfügen. weitergeleitet.

Es war ein Schicksalsjahr für die Neuausrichtung unseres Unternehmens und führte dazu, dass wir unserem Turnaround-Plan voraus sind: Während des Geschäftsjahres 2014 haben wir mit dem Verkauf von Tablet Keyboards und Taschen für Samsung-Produkten begonnen und unsere iPad-Produktpalette um Taschen erweitert. • Mit einem Umsatz von 2,12 Mrd. US-Dollar und einer Steigerung von 1 % gegenüber dem GJ 2013 war es unser erstes Wachstumsjahr seit dem Geschäftsjahr 2011. • Verglichen mit dem Betriebsverlust im GJ 2013 übertrafen wir im Geschäftsjahr 2014 unseren ursprünglichen Ertragsplan mit einem ordentlichen Betriebsergebnis nach GAAP von 77 Mio. US-Dollar • Unser Gewinn pro Aktie nach GAAP für das GJ 2014 betrug 0,46 US-Dollar, verglichen mit einem Verlust von -1,42 US-Dollar pro Aktie im Vorjahr. • Wir haben 2014 aus dem laufenden Betrieb 202 Mio. US-Dollar Cashflow generiert und beendeten das Geschäftsjahr mit 469 Mio. US-Dollar Barmitteln. Das bedeutet eine Steigerung von 136 Mio. US-Dollar gegenüber dem Vorjahr – nach Ausschüttung einer Dividende von 36 Mio. US-Dollar an unsere Aktionäre. Diesem finanziellen Erfolg für das Geschäftsjahr 2014 liegt eine Turnaround-Strategie zugrunde, die in vielen Bereichen greift. Sie umfasst folgende Punkte: • Forciertes Umsatzwachstum in jenen Geschäftsfeldern, in denen das meiste Potenzial steckt • Maximierung der Ertragskraft bei PC-Peripheriegeräten • Rückführung der zwei Geschäftsbereiche LifeSize und Fernbedienungen zu einem positiven Betriebsergebnis Schwerpunkt auf Wachstumskräfte Unsere Wachstumskategorie umfasst PC-Gaming, Tablets und anderes Zubehör sowie mobile Lautsprecher. Zusammengenommen wuchsen diese drei Unternehmensbereiche im GJ 2014 mit 50 % gegenüber dem Vorjahr. Wir sind stolz auf die Produkte, die wir für diese Sparte entwickelt haben. Wir sehen an unserem gewachsenen Marktanteil, dass diese auch von unseren Verbrauchern geschätzt werden. Im Bereich PC-Gaming, der im GJ 2014 ein Wachstum von 29 % verzeichnete, war unsere neue Maus für Gamer ein Renner. Die Logitech G602 Wireless Gaming Mouse ist seit ihrer Einführung im August 2013 ein großer Erfolg. Sie bietet nie dagewesene 250 Stunden Batterielebensdauer - bis zu zwanzig mal mehr als die Wireless-Maus des führenden Mitbewerbers. Die Logitech G502 Proteus Core Tunable Gaming Mouse, die zum Ende des Geschäftsjahres 2014 eingeführt worden ist, hat sowohl unsere Erwartungen als auch die allgemeine Marktentwicklung übertroffen. Dies hat zu einem bedeutenden Wachstum im ersten Halbjahr des Geschäftsjahres 2015 im Bereich PC Gaming geführt. Unsere Gaming-Headsets entwickeln sich ebenfalls besser als der Markt. Das G930 Gaming Headset ist weiterhin das weltweit meistverkaufte Headset. Die komplett überarbeitete Produktpalette und der neu gestaltete Markenauftritt bestärken uns in den großen Fortschritten, die wir im PC-Gaming- Bereich gemacht haben. Im Geschäftsjahr 2014 verzeichneten Tablets und anderes Zubehör ein Wachstum von 44 %, wobei der Absatz von Tablet Keyboards für das iPad der wichtigste Wachstumsfaktor ist. Obwohl wir mit den innovativen Produkten, die wir für Tablets eingeführt haben, zufrieden sind, hat der in den letzten Monaten verlangsamte Tablet-Markt unser Umsatzwachstum in diesem Bereich in der ersten Hälfte des Geschäftsjahres 2015 beeinträchtigt. Wir bleiben für diese Sparte aber weiterhin zuversichtlich und werden mit großer Energie innovative Designs für neue Tablet-Generationen von Apple und Samsung einführen. Bei den mobilen Lautsprechern betrug das Wachstum im Geschäftsjahr 2014 161 %. Der wichtigste Wachstumsmotor in dieser Kategorie war der UE BOOM Bluetooth-Lautsprecher. Er hat mehrere Designauszeichnungen gewonnen und auch im ersten Halbjahr 2015 gute Erfolge erzielt, weil wir seine Präsenz im Einzelhandel ausbauen und aktualisierte Funktionen und Sondereditionen auf den Markt bringen konnten. In dieser Sparte hat sich der Umsatz während der letzten sechs Quartale verdoppelt. Schwerpunkt auf Ertragsmaximierung Bei unseren PC-Peripheriegeräten haben wir uns zum Ziel gesetzt, die Ertragskraft zu maximieren, während wir in einem schrumpfenden Markt selektiv Innovationen einführen. Im Geschäftsjahr 2014 ermöglichte uns unsere verbesserte Ertragskraft in diesem Bereich, mehr in unsere Wachstumskategorie investieren zu können. In den meisten Kategorien unserer PC- Peripheriegeräte haben wir Marktanteile gewonnen. Als grosser Erfolg entpuppte sich unser Wireless Touch Keyboard K400, welches von Kunden weitgehend im Wohnzimmer benutzt wird - ein neuer Trend, dem wir gefolgt sind. Wir haben auch erfolgreich Produkte in unsere Unified Communications-Produktpalette aufgenommen, welche für Unternehmensanwendungen bestimmt ist. Insbesondere die ConferenceCam CC3000e trägt in diesem Bereich zum Wachstum bei. Schwerpunkt auf Rückkehr zur Rentabilität Unser Ziel für die Sparte LifeSize und Fernbedienung war es, bis zum Ende des Geschäftsjahres 2014 ein positives Betriebsergebnis zu erwirtschaften. Das ist uns gelungen. Neuausrichtung von Logitech Unsere Vision für Logitech ist die Schaffung eines leistungsstarken Innovationsunternehmens, das im Endeffekt ein Designunternehmen werden soll. Unter „Design“ sind dabei nicht nur Farben oder Formen zu verstehen – dies wäre eine zu eng gefasste Definition. Der Begriff umschliesst auch die Integration zukunftsweisender Technologie, Innovation und das Verständnis für Verbraucheranliegen zugunsten einer gänzlich neuen Produkterfahrung. Wir sind davon überzeugt, dass wir Design als strategischen und differenzierenden Faktor einsetzen können, um mehr Wertschöpfung zu generieren. Im Geschäftsjahr 2014 haben wir einen Chief Design Officer eingestellt und unsere internen Design-Talente gefördert, um Logitech‘s Spitzentechnologie, welche wir in den kommenden Jahren weiter ausbauen wollen, zu stärken. Im Geschäftsjahr 2014 haben wir eine Reihe von Produkten mit hervorragendem Design auf den Markt gebracht und gewannen mit über 20 Preisen so viele Auszeichnungen wie nie zuvor.

Wir bemühen uns, unsere Unternehmenskultur wieder zu derjenigen eines kleinen Unternehmens zurückzuführen. In diesem Sinne versuchen wir, schneller, einfacher und agiler zu werden. Nachdem wir die Organisationsstruktur im vergangenen Jahr verflacht haben, wurden im laufenden Jahr diverse Maßnahmen umgesetzt, um ein für die Zusammenarbeit geeigneteres Arbeitsumfeld zu schaffen.

Wir sind überzeugt, für Logitech eine aussichtsreiche Zukunft gestalten zu können. Freundliche Grüsse Guerrino De Luca und Bracken P. Darrell To Our Shareholders, This Fiscal Year 2014 Annual Report comes to you late. We’ll begin our letter by addressing the reasons for the delay. As we announced in May of this year, our Audit Committee, with the assistance of independent advisors, found it necessary to conduct a thorough investigation into certain accounting matters related to Logitech’s previously issued financial statements. We needed the results of the investigation to validate or correct prior-year statements before we could file our Annual Report on Form 10-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), because this report includes performance for prior years. And we needed the 10-K to be finalized and filed before we could publish the Annual Report that we send to you. The investigation did reveal the need to restate our financial reports for Fiscal Years 2011 and 2012 due to an accounting misstatement for inventory valuation reserves for our now- discontinued Revue product. As a result, we recorded an adjustment to increase the cost of goods sold during the fourth quarter of FY 2011 and to increase inventory reserves and supplier liability for components. This resulted in a decrease in net income for FY 2011 and a corresponding increase in net income for FY 2012. Because of the restatement, we made other immaterial corrections to the financial statements included in the 10-K and the Annual Report. Beyond the need for the restatement and the other corrections, the investigation identified that certain practices of the accounting team were not following generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and that our staff had some skills deficiencies. We are addressing both of these issues with greater discipline in our practices and new staff members with the right skills. While the delay was unfortunate, the outcome of the investigation – which was closed at the end of October 2014 – allows us to move forward with a focus on our business goals, confident that our prior-year financial statements are now accurate, our accounting practices are solid and our financial staff has the right skills. The U.S. regulatory authority (SEC) is also conducting its own investigation into some of these same accounting matters. We continue to cooperate with the SEC and have shared the findings of our independent investigation with them. Business Update Typically we write our annual letter to you shortly after our fiscal year ends. But the delay in publishing our FY 2014 Annual Report has resulted in delivering this letter to you more than two quarters into FY 2015. So we’ll focus on FY 2014 in this letter, but include a few updates on FY 2015 as appropriate. FY 2014 was a strong year for Logitech. It was pivotal in the transformation of our company and put us ahead of our turnaround plan: • It was our first year of growth since FY 2011, with sales of $2.12 billion, up 1% over FY 2013. • We exceeded our original profitability plan for FY 2014, with GAAP operating income of $77 million, compared to an operating loss in FY 2013. • Our GAAP earnings per share (EPS) for FY 2014 was $0.46, compared to a loss of ($1.42) per share a year ago.

We also successfully introduced new products in our Unified Communications (UC) product line, designed for enterprise communications. In particular, the ConferenceCam CC3000e is driving growth in this category. Underlying this solid financial performance for FY 2014 is a turnaround strategy that is working on many fronts. Our strategy includes: • Drive sales growth in our categories with the highest opportunity • Maximize profitability in our PC Peripherals categories • Return two businesses to operating profitability: LifeSize and Remote Controls Focus on Driving Growth Our Growth category includes PC Gaming, Tablets and Other Accessories, and Mobile Speakers. Combined, these three categories grew 50% year over year in FY 2014. We’re proud of the products we have designed for these categories and we see consumer validation through improvements in market share. In PC Gaming, which grew 29% in FY 2014, our new gaming mice were highlights. The Logitech G602 Wireless Gaming Mouse has performed well since its introduction in August 2013, offering an unprecedented 250 hours of battery life, up to 20 times that of the leading competitor’s wireless gaming mouse. And the Logitech G502 Proteus Core Tunable Gaming Mouse, introduced at the end of FY 2014, has out-performed our expectations and the overall market, driving our significant growth in gaming mice in the first half of FY 2015. Our gaming headsets continue to outperform the market as well, with the G930 Gaming Headset remaining the world’s best-selling headset. With a completely refreshed product lineup and branding, we are strongly encouraged by the progress we are making in PC Gaming. Tablets and Other Accessories grew 44% in FY 2014. Sales of tablet keyboards for the iPad were the primary factor in this growth. During the fiscal year we also began selling tablet keyboards and cases for Samsung products, and we broadened our iPad lineup with cases. While we’re pleased with the innovative products we have introduced for tablets, the tablets market itself has slowed in recent months, and that has negatively impacted our sales momentum in this category during the first half of FY 2015. We continue to be optimistic about the future of this category and will be aggressive in introducing innovative designs for new generations of tablets from Apple and Samsung. Mobile Speakers grew 161% in FY 2014. The key growth driver in this category was the UE BOOM Bluetooth speaker, which is a winner of multiple design awards and has continued to perform very well in the first half of FY 2015 as we broaden its retail presence and introduce updated capabilities and special-edition models. In fact, this category has doubled in sales, year over year, in each of the last six quarters. Focus on Profit Maximization With our PC Peripherals products, our goal is to maximize profitability as we continue to innovate selectively in a declining market. In FY 2014, our improved profitability in this category contributed to our ability to invest in our Growth category. And we have gained market share in most of our PC Peripherals categories. Focus on Return to Profitability Our goal for our LifeSize and Remote Controls businesses in FY 2014 was to return them to operating profitability by the end of the year – and we delivered. Building the Logitech of Tomorrow Our Vision for Logitech is to become a powerful innovator and, in fact, a Design company. In this context “Design” is not just color or shape. That is “design” with a small “d.” “Design” with a big “D” is about using the integration of leading-edge technology, innovation, and consumer insights to create amazing experiences. We believe we can use Design as a strategic and differentiating lever to add value to the company. In FY 2014, we hired a Chief Design Officer and built up our internal Design talent, to complement our powerful technology capability, one that we will grow and expand in the years to come. We introduced many well-designed products in FY 2014 and won an unprecedented number of design awards, over 20. While we’re at the very beginning of transforming Logitech into a Design company, we are on the right track. We are striving to act like a small company again, as a cultural ambition. In this regard we aim to be faster, simpler and more responsive. After flattening the organization last year, we took steps this year to create more collaborative working environments by consolidating key work sites and opening up offices spaces so that our employees are in closer proximity to one another. We will continue to pursue opportunities to build a small-company culture. As pleased as we are with our strong performance in FY 2014, we know we are still in the midst of our turnaround. To sustain our progress we are focused on: • Nurturing growth. We are driving sales in our current Growth category businesses as well as cultivating new growth engines – what we call seeds. • Maximizing profitability in our PC Peripherals business. We are continuing to innovate in this core category, but we are investing appropriately, mindful that we expect our PC peripherals markets to continue to decline. • Managing our operating expenses to drive operating leverage and to create capacity to invest in our growth. • Continuing to push the boundaries in product design.

We also successfully introduced new products in our Unified Communications (UC) product line, designed for enterprise communications. In particular, the ConferenceCam CC3000e is driving growth in this category. Underlying this solid financial performance for FY 2014 is a turnaround strategy that is working on many fronts. Our strategy includes: • Drive sales growth in our categories with the highest opportunity • Maximize profitability in our PC Peripherals categories • Return two businesses to operating profitability: LifeSize and Remote Controls Focus on Driving Growth Our Growth category includes PC Gaming, Tablets and Other Accessories, and Mobile Speakers. Combined, these three categories grew 50% year over year in FY 2014. We’re proud of the products we have designed for these categories and we see consumer validation through improvements in market share. In PC Gaming, which grew 29% in FY 2014, our new gaming mice were highlights. The Logitech G602 Wireless Gaming Mouse has performed well since its introduction in August 2013, offering an unprecedented 250 hours of battery life, up to 20 times that of the leading competitor’s wireless gaming mouse. And the Logitech G502 Proteus Core Tunable Gaming Mouse, introduced at the end of FY 2014, has out-performed our expectations and the overall market, driving our significant growth in gaming mice in the first half of FY 2015. Our gaming headsets continue to outperform the market as well, with the G930 Gaming Headset remaining the world’s best-selling headset. With a completely refreshed product lineup and branding, we are strongly encouraged by the progress we are making in PC Gaming. Tablets and Other Accessories grew 44% in FY 2014. Sales of tablet keyboards for the iPad were the primary factor in this growth. During the fiscal year we also began selling tablet keyboards and cases for Samsung products, and we broadened our iPad lineup with cases. While we’re pleased with the innovative products we have introduced for tablets, the tablets market itself has slowed in recent months, and that has negatively impacted our sales momentum in this category during the first half of FY 2015. We continue to be optimistic about the future of this category and will be aggressive in introducing innovative designs for new generations of tablets from Apple and Samsung. Mobile Speakers grew 161% in FY 2014. The key growth driver in this category was the UE BOOM Bluetooth speaker, which is a winner of multiple design awards and has continued to perform very well in the first half of FY 2015 as we broaden its retail presence and introduce updated capabilities and special-edition models. In fact, this category has doubled in sales, year over year, in each of the last six quarters. Focus on Profit Maximization With our PC Peripherals products, our goal is to maximize profitability as we continue to innovate selectively in a declining market. In FY 2014, our improved profitability in this category contributed to our ability to invest in our Growth category. And we have gained market share in most of our PC Peripherals categories. Focus on Return to Profitability Our goal for our LifeSize and Remote Controls businesses in FY 2014 was to return them to operating profitability by the end of the year – and we delivered. Building the Logitech of Tomorrow Our Vision for Logitech is to become a powerful innovator and, in fact, a Design company. In this context “Design” is not just color or shape. That is “design” with a small “d.” “Design” with a big “D” is about using the integration of leading-edge technology, innovation, and consumer insights to create amazing experiences. We believe we can use Design as a strategic and differentiating lever to add value to the company. In FY 2014, we hired a Chief Design Officer and built up our internal Design talent, to complement our powerful technology capability, one that we will grow and expand in the years to come. We introduced many well-designed products in FY 2014 and won an unprecedented number of design awards, over 20. While we’re at the very beginning of transforming Logitech into a Design company, we are on the right track. We are striving to act like a small company again, as a cultural ambition. In this regard we aim to be faster, simpler and more responsive. After flattening the organization last year, we took steps this year to create more collaborative working environments by consolidating key work sites and opening up offices spaces so that our employees are in closer proximity to one another. We will continue to pursue opportunities to build a small-company culture. As pleased as we are with our strong performance in FY 2014, we know we are still in the midst of our turnaround. To sustain our progress we are focused on: • Nurturing growth. We are driving sales in our current Growth category businesses as well as cultivating new growth engines – what we call seeds. • Maximizing profitability in our PC Peripherals business. We are continuing to innovate in this core category, but we are investing appropriately, mindful that we expect our PC peripherals markets to continue to decline. • Managing our operating expenses to drive operating leverage and to create capacity to invest in our growth. • Continuing to push the boundaries in product design. We are building our brand and our business with iconic products that stand out in a competitive market for their excellence in using leading-edge technology, innovation and consumer insights. • Remaining committed to return cash to our shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

Les actionnaires qui détiennent leurs actions par l’intermédiaire d’une banque, d’un trustee ou d’une société nominee américaine ou canadienne (“ayant-droit économique street name”) au 30 octobre 2014 peuvent donner des instructions à l’organisation concernée sur la façon dont les droits de vote doivent être exercés. Logitech a pris des mesures pour qu’une société spécialisée dans la fourniture de services à des banques, des trustees et des sociétés nominees américaines et canadiennes procède à une réconciliation des positions en actions des ayants droit économiques street name américains et canadiens entre le 30 octobre 2014 et le 2 décembre 2014, date que Logitech a identifiée comme étant la dernière date possible pour une telle réconciliation. Il est prévu que ces mesures donnent lieu aux ajustements suivants: si une personne qui était un ayant droit économique street name d’actions américain ou canadien le 30 octobre 2014 donne des instructions de vote, mais vend ses actions par la suite avant le 2 décembre 2014, les instructions de vote données seront annulées. Si une personne qui était un ayant droit économique street name américain ou canadien d’actions au 30 octobre 2014 et qui avait donné des instructions de vote augmente ou réduit ultérieurement sa participation, mais est toujours un ayant droit économique au 2 décembre 2014, le nombre de droits de vote attribué à cette personne sera augmenté ou réduit pour refléter sa participation au 2 décembre 2014.

Comment puis-je voter si je suis un ayant droit économique “street name” américain ou canadien? Si vous êtes un ayant droit économique d’actions détenues en “street name” et que vous souhaitez participer à l’Assemblée, vous devez obtenir une procuration de l’organisme qui détient vos actions. Si vous ne souhaitez pas participer personnellement à l’Assemblée, vous pouvez voter par procuration. Vous pouvez donner vos instructions de vote par internet, par téléphone ou par courrier postal conformément aux exigences de votre banque, trustee ou société nominee et en vous conformant aux instructions contenues dans la carte de vote annexée. Que se passe-t-il si je ne donne pas d’instruction de vote spécifique? Si vous êtes un ayant droit économique américain ou canadien d’actions détenues en “street name” et que vous ne donnez pas d’instruction de vote spécifique à votre banque, trustee ou société nominee, votre banque, trustee ou société nominee pourra, en application des règles de certaines bourses nationales ou régionales, voter sur certains points considérés comme usuels mais devra s’abstenir de voter sur les points de l’ordre du jour considérés comme étant non usuels. Si l’organisation qui détient vos actions ne reçoit pas d’instruction de vote de votre part sur la façon dont elle doit exercer les droits de vote sur des points de l’ordre du jour qui ne sont pas usuels, les droits de vote afférant à vos actions ne seront pas exercés et ne seront pas comptabilisés comme des voix exprimées dans le cadre du vote.

L’abstention d’une banque (broker non- votes) sur un point de l’ordre du jour ne sera pas considérée comme une voix exprimée. dans quel délai mes instructions de vote doivent-t-elles être données? Si vous détenez vos actions par l’intermédiaire d’une banque, d’un négociant ou d’un autre dépositaire américain ou canadien, vous pouvez donner vos instructions de vote jusqu’au jeudi 11 décembre 2014 à 23h59 (heure standard de l’Est – US Eastern Standard Time). Puis-je changer mes instructions de vote après les avoir données? Vous pouvez révoquer vos instructions et changer ces dernières en tout temps jusqu’au moment du vote final. Vous pouvez donner de nouvelles instructions par internet ou par téléphone (seule la dernière instruction communiquée par internet ou par téléphone avant l’Assemblée sera prise en compte), ou en signant et en retournant une nouvelle carte d’instruction portant une date ultérieure, ou encore en participant à l’Assemblée et en votant vous-même, dans la mesure où vous êtes en possession d’une procuration (legal proxy) qui vous permet de participer à l’Assemblée et d’y voter. Toutefois, votre participation à l’Assemblée générale ordinaire n’aura pas pour effet d’annuler automatiquement vos instructions, à moins que vous votiez à l’occasion de l’Assemblée ou demandiez expressément et par écrit que vos instructions de vote antérieures soient révoquées. Comment puis-je obtenir un exemplaire du matériel de vote séparé ou demander un exemplaire individuel pour mon ménage aux Etats-unis ? Nous avons adopté une procédure approuvée par la SEC appelée “householding” pour les actionnaires aux Etats-Unis. Selon cette procédure, les actionnaires qui ont la même adresse et le même nom de famille et qui n’obtiennent pas leur matériel de vote sous forme électronique recevront uniquement un exemplaire de la convocation et de notre rapport annuel, à moins qu’un ou plusieurs de ces actionnaires ne nous informe(nt) qu’il(s) souhaite(nt) continuer de recevoir des copies individuelles. Cette procédure réduit nos coûts d’impression et nos frais de port. Chaque actionnaire américain participant au householding aura toujours la possibilité d’accéder à ou de recevoir une carte de vote séparée. Si vous désirez recevoir une convocation ainsi qu’un rapport annuel additionnels, nous vous prions de requérir la copie supplémentaire en contactant notre agent responsable des envois, à Broadridge, par téléphone au +1-800-579-1639 ou par e-mail à sendmaterial@proxyvote.com. Si certains actionnaires de votre ménage souhaitent recevoir une convocation et un rapport annuel séparés dans le futur, ils peuvent appeler notre groupe investor relations au +1-510-713-4220 ou écrire à Investor Relations, 7600 Gateway Boulevard, Newark, California 94560, USA. Ils peuvent également envoyer un e-mail à notre groupe investor relations à logitechIR@logitech.com. Les actionnaires qui ont plusieurs comptes à leurs noms ou qui partagent une adresse avec d’autres actionnaires peuvent nous autoriser à interrompre nos envois de plusieurs convocations et rapports annuels en appelant ou en écrivant à investor relations. Comment puis-je choisir de recevoir le matériel de vote par voie électronique à l’avenir? Vous pouvez requérir qu’à l’avenir le matériel de vote vous soit envoyé par courrier électronique en suivant les instructions mentionnées dans la carte de vote annexée. Choisir de recevoir à l’avenir votre matériel de vote par courrier électronique nous épargnera les frais liés à l’impression et à l’envoi des documents, ce qui réduira aussi l’impact de notre Assemblée générale ordinaire sur l’environnement. Si, à l’avenir, vous décidez de recevoir notre matériel de vote par courrier électronique, vous recevrez l’année prochaine un courrier électronique contenant des instructions ainsi qu’un lien vers le matériel de vote et également un lien vers un site internet sur lequel des instructions de vote pourront être données. Votre décision de recevoir le matériel de vote par courrier électronique restera effective jusqu’à ce que vous la révoquiez. 8 9 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 8 OPERATOR Nestorg JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 9 OPERATOR Nestorg INFORmATIONS COmPLEmENTAIRES POuR LES ACTIONNAIRES QuI dETIENNENT LEuRS ACTIONS PAR L’INTERmEdIAIRE d’uNE BANQuE Ou d’uN NEGOCIANT (EN dEHORS dES ETATS-uNIS Ou du CANAdA) Comment puis-je voter par procuration si mes actions sont détenues par l’intermédiaire d’une banque ou d’un négociant dépositaire?

Si tel n’est pas le cas, vous devez contacter votre banque ou négociant dépositaire pour lui communiquer vos instructions. dans quel délai dois-je transmettre mes instructions de vote si mes actions Logitech sont détenues par l’intermédiaire d’une banque ou d’un négociant dépositaire? Les banques et négociants dépositaires invitent généralement leurs clients à leur communiquer leurs instructions dans un certain délai. En dehors des Etats-Unis et du Canada, ce délai échoit généralement deux à trois jours avant la date fixée par la société qui tient son Assemblée générale. Si vous détenez des actions Logitech par l’intermédiaire d’une banque ou d’un négociant dépositaire en dehors des Etats-Unis ou du Canada, nous vous invitons à vous renseigner auprès de la banque ou du négociant concerné sur les délais pratiqués et à transmettre vos instructions de vote à ces institutions aussi rapidement que possible avant ce délai.

B. POINTS dE L’ORdRE du JOuR SOumIS Au vOTE Point 1 Approbation du rapport annuel, du rapport de rémunération, des comptes consolidés et des comptes statutaires de Logitech International S.A. pour l’exercice 2014 Proposition Le Conseil d’administration propose d’approuver le rapport annuel, le rapport de rémunération, les comptes consolidés et les comptes statutaires de Logitech International S.A. pour l’exercice 2014. Explication Les comptes consolidés de Logitech et les comptes statutaires de Logitech International S.A. pour l’exercice 2014 sont inclus dans le rapport annuel de Logitech qui a été mis à disposition de tous les actionnaires inscrits à ou avant la date de cette invitation et Document d’Information. Le rapport annuel contient également le rapport de l’organe de révision de Logitech sur les comptes consolidés et les comptes statutaires ainsi que des informations complémentaires sur l’activité de la Société, son organisation, sa stratégie, de même que des informations concernant la gouvernance de l’entreprise conformément aux exigences du SIX Swiss Exchange en la matière. Le rapport de rémunération fait partie intégrante de cette Invitation et Document d’Information. Des exemplaires du rapport annuel et de l’Invitation et Document d’Information peuvent être obtenus sur internet à l’adresse http://ir.logitech.com. La loi suisse requiert que le rapport annuel et les comptes de sociétés suisses soient soumis aux actionnaires pour approbation ou rejet lors de chaque Assemblée générale ordinaire. La soumission du rapport de rémunération au vote des actionnaires en même temps que le rapport annuel est une pratique recommandée par le Code de bonne pratique en matière de gouvernance d’entreprise établi par economiesuisse, l’une des principales associations faîtières de l’économie suisse. En cas de vote négatif sur cette proposition, le Conseil d’administration convoquera une Assemblée générale extraordinaire pour permettre aux actionnaires de reconsidérer cette proposition. L’approbation de cette proposition ne constitue pas une approbation ou un rejet des points particuliers mentionnés dans le rapport annuel, le rapport de rémunération ou les comptes annuels ou statutaires pour l’exercice 2014. PricewaterhouseCoopers S.A., en sa qualité d’organe de révision de Logitech, a recommandé sans réserve que l’Assemblée générale ordinaire de Logitech approuve les comptes consolidés de Logitech ainsi que les comptes statutaires de Logitech International S.A. PricewaterhouseCoopers S.A. parvient à la conclusion que “les comptes consolidés pour l’exercice se terminant au 31 mars 2014 donnent, de manière générale, une image fidèle de la situation financière, du résultat des opérations et des flux de fonds conformément aux principes comptables généralement acceptés aux Etats- Unis (U.S. GAAP) et en conformité avec le droit suisse”. PricewaterhouseCoopers S.A. parvient à la même conclusion et confirme que les comptes annuels ainsi que la proposition d’affectation du bénéfice disponible sont conformes au droit suisse et aux statuts de Logitech International S.A. majorité requise L’approbation de ce point requiert la majorité des voix exprimées par les personnes présentes ou représentées à l’Assemblée générale ordinaire, sans tenir compte des abstentions. 10 11 FRANÇAISJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 12 OPERATOR Nestorg JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 13 OPERATOR Nestorg Recommandation Le Conseil d’administration recommande de voter en faveur de l’approbation du rapport annuel, du rapport de rémunération, des comptes consolidés et des comptes statutaires de Logitech International S.A. pour l’exercice 2014. vote consultatif relatif à l’approbation de la rémunération des membres des organes dirigeants Point 2 Proposition Le Conseil d’administration propose aux actionnaires d’approuver, sur une base consultative, la rémunération des membres des organes dirigeants de Logitech publiée dans le Rapport de rémunération pour l’exercice 2014. Explication Lors des Assemblées générales ordinaires 2009 et 2010, le Conseil d’administration a demandé volontairement aux actionnaires d’approuver les principes, la politique et les pratiques de rémunération de Logitech, tels qu’exposés dans le chapitre “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” du Rapport de rémunération, conformément à l’évolution de la bonne pratique en matière de gouvernement d’entreprise en Suisse et aux Etats-Unis. Cette proposition, connue sous le nom de “say-on-pay”, a donné à nos actionnaires la possibilité de s’exprimer sur nos rémunérations en général. Les actionnaires ont soutenu notre philosophie, ainsi que nos politiques et pratiques en matière de rémunération en 2009, 2010 puis chaque année depuis lors. Dès l’Assemblée générale 2011, le vote consultatif “say-on-pay” est devenu obligatoire pour toutes les sociétés cotées soumises aux règles américaines sur le proxy statement, y compris Logitech. Lors de cette Assemblée générale, les actionnaires ont approuvé la proposition de procéder à ce vote annuellement. Par conséquent, le Conseil d’administration demande aux actionnaires d’approuver, sur une base consultative, la rémunération des membres des organes dirigeants de Logitech publiée dans le Rapport de rémunération y compris le chapitre “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”, les tableaux résumant les rémunérations, les notes ainsi que les explications y relatives. Ce vote ne concerne pas des points spécifiques de la rémunération ou des membres spécifiques des organes dirigeants ; il s’agit plutôt d’un vote sur la rémunération des membres des organes dirigeants en général ainsi que sur les principes, la politique et les pratiques de rémunération décrits dans le Rapport de rémunération. Ce vote say-on-pay est consultatif et, par conséquent, il n’engage pas le Conseil d’administration. Toutefois, ce vote nous fournira des informations concernant le sentiment de nos actionnaires par rapport aux principes, à la politique et aux pratiques de rémunération des membres des organes dirigeants que le Comité de rémunération pourra prendre en considération dans le futur. Le Comité de rémunération prendra en considération d’éventuels résultats négatifs importants et cherchera à en comprendre les raisons. Comme indiqué dans la section “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” du rapport de rémunération 2014 de Logitech, Logitech a établi un programme de rémunération pour attirer, retenir et motiver les directeurs, cadres et employés ayant les talents qui sont essentiels au succès de son entreprise dans le long terme. Plus précisément, le programme de rémunération des membres des organes dirigeants de Logitech a été conçu de façon à: • • • • • • être compétitif avec ceux des sociétés comparables de l’industrie et dans les régions dans lesquelles les directeurs concernés résident; maintenir un équilibre entre la rémunération fixe et variable et faire dépendre une partie importante de la rémunération des performances de Logitech, tout en évitant les prises de risque inappropriées en contrebalançant les performances annuelles et à long terme; offrir un équilibre entre les objectifs et les résultats à court terme et à long terme; aligner la rémunération des membres des organes dirigeants sur les intérêts des actionnaires, en liant une part importante de la rémunération à l’augmentation de la valeur des actions; favoriser une culture orientée vers la performance; et refléter l’appréciation du Comité de rémunération du rôle et de la performance passée d’un membre de la Direction par le niveau de son salaire de base et par des gratifications à court terme, ainsi que de son potentiel de contribution future à Logitech par des octrois à long terme réalisés dans le cadre de plans d’intéressement. 12 13 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 12 OPERATOR Nestorg JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 13 OPERATOR Nestorg Le Comité de rémunération du Conseil a établi un programme de rémunération qui est décrit plus précisément dans le rapport de rémunération annexé à la version anglaise de cette Invitation et Document d’Information. Le rapport de rémunération de Logitech décrit également les principes directeurs et les risques liés au programme de rémunération, ainsi que la rémunération versée pour l’exercice 2014. Bien que la rémunération joue un rôle essentiel pour attirer, retenir et motiver les meilleurs cadres et collaborateurs, nous pensons qu’il ne s’agit pas de la seule raison pour laquelle des cadres et collaborateurs exceptionnels décident de rejoindre Logitech et d’y rester, ou de travailler dur pour obtenir des résultats favorables aux actionnaires. Le Comité de rémunération et la Direction estiment qu’un environnement de travail attrayant et un cadre dans lequel les directeurs et employés peuvent se développer, exprimer leur potentiel et faire la différence constituent des éléments essentiels du succès de Logitech dans l’embauche, la motivation et la rétention de ses directeurs et employés. majorité requise L’approbation de ce point requiert la majorité des voix exprimées par les personnes présentes ou représentées à l’Assemblée générale ordinaire, sans tenir compte des abstentions. Recommandation Le Conseil d’administration recommande de voter, sur une base consultative, en faveur de la décision consultative suivante : “La rémunération versée aux membres des organes dirigeants de Logitech telle que publiée dans le Rapport de rémunération y compris le chapitre “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”, les tableaux résumant les rémunérations, les notes ainsi que les explications y relatives sont approuvés.” Emploi du bénéfice résultant du bilan et déclaration d’un dividende Point 3 Proposition Le Conseil d’administration propose que CHF 458,526,520 (US $516,495,536 selon le taux de change au 31 mars 2014) du bénéfice résultant du bilan reporté soient affectés comme suit: Bénéfice résultant du bilan à la fin de l’exercice 2014 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Nous nous attendons à ce que les actions soient négociées sans dividende approximativement le 24 décembre 2014. Explication Le droit suisse requiert qu’une proposition d’utilisation du bénéfice résultant du bilan soit soumise aux actionnaires pour approbation ou rejet lors de chaque Assemblée générale ordinaire. Le bénéfice résultant du bilan à la disposition des actionnaires de Logitech lors de l’Assemblée générale ordinaire 2014 est le bénéfice de Logitech International S.A., la Société faîtière du groupe Logitech. La proposition du Conseil d’administration de distribuer un dividende brut de CHF 0.2625 par action représente une augmentation de 25% par rapport à l’année précédente, suite à l’important flux de trésorerie de l’exercice provenant des activités d’exploitation, et est une indication de la confiance que place le Conseil d’administration dans le futur de la Société. Depuis l’année 2013, le Conseil d’administration s’est décidé pour un dividende annuel récurrent et non pas un dividende occasionnel. En conséquence, la Société prévoit de proposer un tel dividende aux actionnaires de la Société chaque année (sous réserve de l’approbation par les auditeurs statutaires de la Société pendant l’année en question). Outre la distribution d’un dividende, le Conseil d’administration propose le report du bénéfice résultant du bilan en raison de la conviction du Conseil d’administration qu’il est dans l’intérêt de Logitech et de ses actionnaires de conserver le bénéfice de Logitech pour de futurs investissements dans le cadre de la croissance future de Logitech, ainsi que pour des rachats d’actions et pour acquérir, le cas échéant, d’autres sociétés ou entreprises. majorité requise pour l’approbation de la proposition L’approbation de ce point requiert la majorité des voix exprimées par les personnes présentes ou représentées à l’Assemblée générale ordinaire, sans tenir compte des abstentions. Recommandation Le Conseil d’administration recommande un vote en faveur de l’approbation de l’affectation du bénéfice résultant du bilan, y compris le paiement d’un dividende d’approximativement CHF 0.2625 par action pour l’année 2014. modification des statuts de la Société pour se conformer au nouveau droit des sociétés suisse Point 4 Proposition Le Conseil d’administration propose que les statuts de la Société soient modifiés pour prendre en compte les récents changements intervenus dans le cadre légal suisse. Le Conseil d’administration propose que les statuts de la Société soient modifiés de la manière décrite dans l’annexe A jointe à la fin de la version anglaise de cette Invitation et Document d’Information. Le texte français de la proposition de modification des statuts, qui fait seul foi sur le plan légal, peut être consulté sur notre site internet à l’adresse http://ir.logitech.com. Explication Le 1er janvier 2014, le droit des sociétés suisse a été modifié par l’entrée en vigueur de l’ordonnance contre les rémunérations abusives dans les sociétés anonymes cotées en bourse, communément appelée l’“Ordonnance Minder”. 14 15 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 14 OPERATOR Nestorg JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 15 OPERATOR Nestorg L’Ordonnance Minder apporte, entre autre, les modifications suivantes au droit des sociétés suisse: • • • élection obligatoire par l’Assemblée générale, à titre individuel, des membres du Conseil d’administration, du Président du Conseil d’administration, des membres du Comité de rémunération et du représentant indépendant des actionnaires (Représentant indépendant) pour une période se terminant à la fin de l’Assemblée générale ordinaire suivante; vote annuel contraignant de l’Assemblée générale sur les rémunérations globales accordées au Conseil d’administration et à la Direction; et interdiction de la représentation institutionnelle des actionnaires à l’Assemblée générale, excepté par le Représentant indépendant. Selon le nouveau droit, les actionnaires ont le choix de participer à l’Assemblée générale en personne, de mandater un représentant de leur choix ou de donner des instructions au Représentant indépendant. Par ailleurs, l’Ordonnance Minder exige que les statuts des sociétés suisses cotées contiennent, entre autres, des dispositions sur l’approbation de la rémunération du Conseil d’administration et de la Direction, les principes régissant les tâches et les compétences du Comité de rémunération; les principes de l’octroi de la rémunération aux membres du Conseil d’administration et de la Direction; le nombre maximum de mandats externes des membres du Conseil d’administration et de la Direction; la durée maximale des contrats entre la Société et les membres du Conseil d’administration et de la Direction relatifs à la rémunération. Par conséquent, le Conseil d’administration propose de modifier les statuts de la Société afin de satisfaire aux exigences requises par le nouveau droit. majorité requise pour l’approbation de la proposition L’approbation de ce point requiert la majorité des voix exprimées par les personnes présentes ou représentées à l’Assemblée générale ordinaire, sans tenir compte des abstentions. Recommandation Le Conseil d’administration recommande de voter en faveur de l’approbation des modifications proposées des Statuts. Proposition Point 5 Autorisation de détenir plus de 10% d’actions propres Le Conseil d’administration propose aux actionnaires d’autoriser Logitech à détenir plus de 10 pourcent de ses propres actions. Explication En droit suisse des sociétés, les actions qui sont rachetées ne sont pas automatiquement annulées, mais sont détenues dans la trésorerie de la société en attendant soit la décision des actionnaires relative à leur annulation soit leur réutilisation par la Société pour couvrir des obligations de livraison, sous réserve de certaines limites de temps et le respect de certaines procédures. La responsabilité personnelle des membres du Conseil d’administration peut être engagée en cas de dommage causé à la Société du fait de cette détention de plus de 10 pourcent d’actions propres. L’approbation de cette proposition peut diminuer la responsabilité personnelle potentielle des membres du Conseil d’administration dans de telles circonstances. Lors des Assemblées générales annuelles de 2012 et 2013, les actionnaires ont autorisé la Société à détenir plus de 10 pourcent de ses propres actions, dans la mesure où les actions propres dépassant le seuil des 10 pourcent sont rachetées dans l’optique d’être annulées lors des Assemblées générales ordinaires de la Société de 2013 et/ou 2014 et de 2014 et/ou 2015 respectivement. Le 9 août 2013, le programme initial de rachat d’actions de la Société a pris fin, y compris sa deuxième ligne de négoce qui a permis à la Société de se conformer à ses obligations selon les lois fiscales suisses en cas de rachat d’actions en-dessus du seuil de 10 pourcent. En mars 2014, la Société a annoncé l’approbation d’un nouveau programme de rachat d’actions à hauteur de US $250 millions et qui devrait rester en vigueur pendant trois ans. 14 15 FRANÇAISJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 16 OPERATOR Nestorg JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 17 OPERATOR Nestorg Au 26 septembre 2014, Logitech détenait environ 5.7 pourcent de ses propres actions dans sa trésorerie. Selon les plans de rachat d’actions autorisés par le Conseil d’administration, la Société peut acquérir jusqu’à environ US $17,310,662 d’actions additionnelles jusqu’au 24 avril 2017. Si la Société poursuit les rachats dans le cadre du programme actuel de rachat d’actions ou si elle commence un nouveau programme de rachat, elle pourrait à nouveau accumuler des actions de trésorerie représentant près de ou excédant 10 pourcent de son capital émis. Afin de fournir à la Société une flexibilité continue dans la gestion de son capital, le Conseil d’administration sollicite l’autorisation d’amener la Société à détenir plus de 10 pourcent de ses propres actions, dans la mesure où les actions excédant le seuil de 10 pourcent sont rachetées, via une deuxième ligne de négoce, ou de toutes autres manières, en vue d’être annulées. Dans le cas d’un vote négatif sur cette proposition par les actionnaires, le Conseil d’administration fera en sorte que la Société ne dépasse pas le seuil de 10 pourcent d’actions propres. Il y a des conséquences fiscales potentiellement négatives pour la Société qui peuvent être évitées en rachetant des actions au-dessus du seuil des 10 pourcent par une deuxième ligne de négoce avec des arrangements en matière d’impôts anticipés. Si le Conseil d’administration décidait d’utiliser l’autorisation contenue dans ce point de l’ordre du jour, il requerrait l’approbation topique à la Commission des offres publiques d’achats et demanderait l’ouverture d’une deuxième ligne de négoce sur le SIX Swiss Exchange afin de racheter des actions pour les annuler. Il prendrait également d’autres actions appropriées pour percevoir l’impôt anticipé qui serait dû dans ce cas. majorité requise pour l’approbation de la proposition L’approbation de ce point requiert la majorité des voix exprimées par les personnes présentes ou représentées à l’Assemblée générale ordinaire, sans tenir compte des abstentions et sans tenir compte des voix des membres du Conseil d’administration ou des membres de la Direction de Logitech. Recommandation du Conseil Le Conseil d’administration recommande de voter en faveur de la décision suivante : “La Société est autorisée à détenir plus de 10 pourcent de ses propres actions, dans la mesure où les actions propres dépassant la limite de 10 pourcent sont rachetées, sur une ligne de négoce séparée ou de toutes autres manières pour être annulées dans le cadre d’une réduction du capital-actions qui sera proposée lors de l’Assemblée générale ordinaire de la Société en 2015 et/ou en 2016.” Point 6 décharge des membres du Conseil d’administration et de la direction pour leur activité pendant l’exercice 2014 Proposition Le Conseil d’administration propose aux actionnaires de donner décharge aux membres du Conseil d’administration et de la Direction pour leur activité pendant l’exercice 2014. Explication Comme il est usuel pour des sociétés suisses et conformément à l’article 698, alinéa 2, chiffre 5 du Code suisse des obligations, les actionnaires sont invités à donner décharge aux membres du Conseil d’administration et de la Direction pour leurs activités pendant l’exercice 2014 pour les faits révélés aux actionnaires. Cette décharge exclut des actions en responsabilité de la part de la Société ou d’actionnaires pour le compte de la Société contre des membres du Conseil d’administration ou de la Direction pour leur activité pendant l’exercice 2014 portant sur des faits qui ont été portés à la connaissance des actionnaires. Toutefois, les actionnaires qui n’ont pas voté en faveur de la décharge, ou qui ont acquis leurs actions postérieurement au vote relatif à la décharge sans en avoir connaissance, ne sont pas liés par le résultat du vote pendant une période de six mois suivant ce dernier. 16 17 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 16 OPERATOR Nestorg JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 17 OPERATOR Nestorg majorité requise pour l’approbation de la proposition L’approbation de ce point requiert la majorité des voix exprimées par les personnes présentes ou représentées à l’Assemblée générale ordinaire, sans tenir compte des abstentions et sans tenir compte des voix des membres du Conseil d’administration ou des membres de la Direction de Logitech. Recommandation Le Conseil d’administration recommande de voter en faveur de la proposition de donner décharge aux membres du Conseil d’administration et de la Direction pour leurs activités pendant l’exercice 2014. Point 7 Elections au Conseil d’administration Le Conseil d’administration est actuellement composé de neuf membres. Jusqu’à 2012, chaque membre était élu pour une période de 3 ans. Lors de l’Assemblée générale de 2012, les actionnaires ont approuvé une modification statutaire selon laquelle chaque membre du Conseil d’administration est désormais élu pour une période d’une année, applicable dès les élections de 2012. Sur recommandation du Comité de nomination, le Conseil propose d’élire les dix personnes mentionnées ci- dessous en qualité d’administrateur pour une période d’un an, commençant lors de l’Assemblée générale ordinaire du 18 décembre 2014. Neuf candidats sont actuellement membres du Conseil d’administration. Leur mandat arrivera à échéance le jour de l’Assemblée générale ordinaire, soit le 18 décembre 2014. Le dixième candidat a été recommandé par le Comité de nomination du Conseil d’administration et approuvé par le Conseil comme candidat au Conseil en octobre 2014. La durée des fonctions prend fin à la prochaine Assemblée générale ordinaire. Un vote séparé sera tenu pour chaque candidat. Selon le droit suisse, les membres du Conseil ne peuvent être élus que par les actionnaires. Si les personnes mentionnées ci-dessous sont élues, le Conseil sera composé de dix membres. Le Conseil n’a pas de raison de penser que l’un ou l’autre des candidats ne souhaitera pas ou ne sera pas en mesure d’assumer son rôle d’administrateur s’il est élu.

Aktionäre, die keine direkte Eintragung in unserem Aktienregister begehrt haben und ihre Aktien durch einen Wertschriftenhändler, Trustee, Nominee oder eine ähnliche Gesellschaft halten, welche als Aktionär eingetragen ist, sind wirtschaftlich Berechtigte an den Aktien, die im Namen des Nominee eingetragen sind. Wenn Sie Logitech- Aktien über einen amerikanischen oder kanadischen Wertschriftenhändler, Trustee, Nominee oder eine ähnliche Gesellschaft halten (sogenanntes Halten in “Street Name”), was der in diesen Ländern üblichen Praxis entspricht, so wird die eingetragene Gesellschaft als stimmberechtigter Aktionär betrachtet und diese Einladung wird Ihnen von diesen Nominees zugesandt. Sie sind berechtigt, dem Nominee Anweisungen zu erteilen, wie für die auf Ihrem Konto stehenden Aktien zu stimmen ist. 26 27 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 26 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 27 OPERATOR JoyD warum ist es für mich wichtig an den Abstimmungen teilzunehmen? Logitech ist eine börsenkotierte Gesellschaft und die wichtigsten Entscheide können nur von den Aktionären getroffen werden. Ihre Stimme ist wichtig, ob Sie an der Versammlung teilnehmen wollen oder nicht. Wir bitten Sie deshalb, Ihre Aktien allenfalls vertreten zu lassen. wie viele eingetragene Aktien müssen vertreten sein, um die Rechtsgültigkeit der versammlung sicherzustellen? Für die Generalversammlung gibt es kein Quorum. Unter schweizerischem Recht gibt es keine Mindestvertretungsvorschriften an Generalversammlungen und unsere Statuten enthalten keine Bestimmung, die ein solches Quorum vorsieht. wo sind die wichtigsten verwaltungssitze der Logitech? Logitechs schweizerischer Verwaltungssitz befindet sich an der EPFL – Quartier de l’Innovation, Daniel Borel Innovation Center, 1015 Lausanne, Schweiz, und unser Verwaltungssitz in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika befindet sich am 7600 Gateway Boulevard, Newark, California 94560, USA.

Aktionäre können auch kostenlose Kopien dieser Dokumente an unseren Verwaltungssitzen in der Schweiz und den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika an obgenannten Adressen bestellen. wo kann ich die Abstimmungsresultate der versammlung finden? Wir beabsichtigen, die Abstimmungsresultate an der Versammlung selbst bekannt zu geben und wir werden nach der Versammlung umgehend eine Pressemitteilung veröffentlichen. Wir werden am Mittwoch, 24. Dezember 2014, zudem die Abstimmungsresultate auf einem Current Report Formular 8-K an die Securities and Exchange Commission der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika übermitteln. Eine Kopie des Formulars 8-K wird auf unserer Webseite unter http://ir.logitech.com einsehbar sein. wenn ich nicht ein eingetragener Aktionär bin, darf ich an der Generalversammlung teilnehmen und stimmen? Sie dürfen nur an der Generalversammlung teilnehmen und Ihr Stimmrecht ausüben, wenn Sie bis zum 11. Dezember 2014 im Aktienregister eingetragen werden oder wenn Sie eine Vollmacht von Ihrem Effektenhändler, Trustee oder Nominee erhalten, der Ihre Aktien hält. Wenn Sie Ihre Aktien über einen nicht amerikanischen oder nicht kanadischen Effektenhändler, Trustee oder Nominee halten, können Sie ins Aktienregister eingetragen werden. In diesem Fall nehmen Sie bitte mit unserem Aktienregisterführer Kontakt auf (Logitech International S.A., c/o Devigus Shareholder Services, Birkenstrasse 47, CH-6343 Rotkreuz, Schweiz) und folgen Sie den erhaltenen Eintragungsinstruktionen. In gewissen Ländern kann die Eintragung über die Bank oder den Effektenhändler begehrt werden, über die Sie Ihre Aktien halten. Wenn Sie Ihre Aktien über einen amerikanischen oder kanadischen Effektenhändler, Trustee oder Nominee halten, können Sie diesen kontaktieren und eingetragen werden. Bitte folgen Sie den entsprechenden Instruktionen, die Sie bei dieser Gelegenheit erhalten. 26 27 DEUTSCHJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 28 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 29 OPERATOR JoyD wEITERE INFORmATION FüR EINGETRAGENE AkTIONäRINNEN UND AkTIONäRE wie kann ich abstimmen, wenn ich nicht an der Generalversammlung teilnehmen möchte?

Bitte fügen Sie auf der Antwortkarte Ihre Stimminstruktionen bei und datieren und unterzeichnen Sie die Karte. Bitte senden Sie die ausgefüllte Antwortkarte im beiliegenden, entsprechend adressierten Umschlag zurück. Für weitere Informationen verweisen wir Sie auf die Antwortkarte. wie kann ich an der Generalversammlung teilnehmen? Wünschen Sie an der Generalversammlung teilzunehmen, so benötigen Sie eine Zutrittskarte. Um eine Zutrittskarte zu erhalten, wählen Sie bitte Option 1 auf der Antwortkarte, und senden Sie diese bitte anschliessend im beiliegenden Umschlag vor dem Donnerstag, 11. Dezember 2014, an Logitech zurück. Wir werden Ihnen eine Zutrittskarte für die Versammlung zukommen lassen. Sollten Sie die Zutrittskarte vor der Generalversammlung nicht erhalten, können Sie dennoch an der Versammlung teilnehmen, sofern Sie am 11. Dezember 2014 im Aktienregister eingetragen sind und sich am Versammlungsort ausweisen können. kann ich mich an der versammlung durch eine andere Person vertreten lassen? Ja. Wenn Sie sich nicht durch die unabhängige Stimmrechtsvertreterin vertreten lassen möchten, wählen Sie bitte Option 2 auf der Antwortkarte und geben Sie Namen und Adresse Ihres Vertreters an. Bitte senden Sie die ausgefüllte und unterzeichnete Antwortkarte vor dem 11. Dezember 2014 mittels beiliegenden Briefumschlags an Logitech zurück. Wir werden Ihrem Vertreter eine Zutrittskarte zukommen lassen. Sind Name und Adresse Ihres Vertreters nicht klar angegeben, wird Logitech die Zutrittskarte stattdessen an Sie senden und Sie müssen diese dann an Ihren Vertreter weiterleiten. kann ich meine Aktien vor der versammlung verkaufen, wenn ich bereits Stimminstruktionen erteilt habe? Logitech verhindert die Übertragung von Aktien vor der Generalversammlung nicht. Wenn Sie aber Ihre Aktien vor der Generalversammlung verkaufen und das Aktienregister von der Übertragung benachrichtigt wird, werden Ihre Stimmen nicht gezählt. Wer Aktien nach der Schliessung des Registers am Donnerstag, 11. Dezember 2014 erwirbt, wird frühestens an dem auf die Versammlung folgenden Tag eingetragen und kann deshalb nicht an der Generalversammlung teilnehmen. wenn ich mit der Antwortkarte Stimminstruktionen gegeben habe, kann ich diese noch ändern? Sie können Ihre Stimminstruktionen jederzeit vor der Abstimmung an der Generalversammlung ändern. Sie können bei uns eine neue Antwortkarte bestellen und Ihre Instruktionen widerrufen. In diesem Fall werden wir Ihre frühere Antwortkarte annullieren. Wenn Sie erneut Instruktionen geben möchten, füllen Sie bitte die neue Antwortkarte aus und senden Sie uns diese zurück. Sie können auch an der Generalversammlung teilnehmen und persönlich abstimmen. Allerdings wird durch Ihre persönliche Teilnahme Ihre Antwortkarte nicht automatisch widerrufen, es sei denn Sie üben Ihr Stimmrecht an der Versammlung aus oder verlangen ausdrücklich schriftlich, dass Ihre vorhergehende Antwortkarte annulliert werden soll. was geschieht, wenn ich die Antwortkarte ausfülle und keine spezifischen Stimminstruktionen gebe? Wenn Sie ein eingetragener Aktionär sind und die unterschriebene Antwortkarte ohne spezifische Stimminstruktionen zu einzelnen oder allen Traktanden zurücksenden, geben Sie hiermit die allgemeine Instruktion an die unabhängige Stimmrechtsvertreterin, Ihre Stimmrechte in Bezug auf die Traktanden sowie auf neue oder geänderte Anträge, die während der Versammlung vorgebracht werden, im Sinne der Empfehlungen des Verwaltungsrates auszuüben. 28 29 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 28 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 29 OPERATOR JoyD An wen kann ich mich wenden, wenn ich Fragen habe?

Wirtschaftlich berechtigte Aktionäre, die ihre Titel über amerikanische oder kanadische Effektenhändler, Trustees oder Nominees am 30. Oktober 2014 halten (Street Name Wirtschaftlich Berechtigte), können ihrem Effektenhändler, Trustee oder Nominee Stimminstruktionen erteilen. Zusätzlich hat Logitech mit Hilfe einer Dienstleistungsgesellschaft sichergestellt, dass eine zusätzliche Abgleichung der Aktienpositionen amerikanischer und kanadischer Nominees zwischen dem 30. Oktober 2014 und dem 2. Dezember 2014 durchgeführt wird. Der 2. Dezember 2014 ist für Logitech das letztmögliche Datum zur Durchführung einer solchen Abgleichung. Dies sollte zu folgenden Korrekturen führen: Wenn ein amerikanischer oder kanadischer Halter, der am 30. Oktober 2014 wirtschaftlich berechtigter Aktionär (Street Name Wirtschaftlich Berechtigter) ist, seine Stimme abgibt aber nachträglich seine Titel vor dem 2. Dezember 2014 verkauft, werden die Stimminstruktionen annulliert. Wenn ein amerikanischer oder kanadischer Halter, der am 30. Oktober 2014 wirtschaftlich berechtigter Aktionär (Street Name Wirtschaftlich Berechtigter) ist, seine Stimme abgibt und wirtschaftlich berechtigter Aktionär bleibt, aber in der entsprechenden Periode einen Teil seiner Titel verkauft oder weitere Titel zukauft, so findet eine entsprechende Reduktion oder Erhöhung der Stimmen statt, gemäss dem Stand am 2. Dezember 2014. Wenn Sie nach dem 30. Oktober 2014 über einen amerikanischen oder kanadischen Effektenhändler, Trustee oder Nominee Aktien erwerben (in “Street Name”) und diese an der Generalversammlung vertreten lassen wollen oder wenn Sie Stimminstruktionen an einen Bevollmächtigten geben möchten, müssen Sie ins Aktienregister eingetragen werden. Dazu kontaktieren Sie bitte Ihren Effektenhändler, Trustee oder Nominee und folgen dessen Instruktionen. Beginnen Sie diesen Prozess möglichst lange vor dem 11. Dezember 2014, um sicherzustellen, dass das Stimmmaterial zugesandt oder verfügbar gemacht werden kann und die Stimminstruktionen rechtzeitig vor der Versammlung bei uns ankommen. wie kann ich mein Stimmrecht ausüben, wenn ich amerikanischer oder kanadischer wirtschaftlich berechtigter Aktionär (Street Name wirtschaftlich Berechtigter) bin? Wenn Sie als wirtschaftlich berechtigter Aktionär (Street Name Wirtschaftlich Berechtigter) persönlich an der Generalversammlung teilnehmen möchten, müssen Sie vom eingetragenen Nominee eine Vollmacht erhalten. Wenn Sie nicht persönlich an der Generalversammlung teilnehmen möchten, können Sie sich vertreten lassen. Abhängig von den Vorgaben Ihres Effektenhändlers, Trustees oder Nominees können Sie Ihre Instruktionen über das Internet, per Telefon oder per Post erteilen. Folgen Sie hierzu bitte den Anweisungen auf der beiliegenden Stimmkarte. was geschieht wenn ich keine genauen Stimminstruktionen erteile? Wenn Sie wirtschaftlich berechtigter Aktionär in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika oder in Kanada sind und Ihre Aktien über einen Effektenhändler, Trustee oder Nominee halten (Street Name Wirtschaftlich Berechtigter), dem Sie jedoch keine genauen Stimminstruktionen erteilen, so wird dieser gemäss den Regeln verschiedener nationaler oder regionaler Börsen in blossen Routineangelegenheiten abstimmen können, nicht aber in anderen Fragen. Wenn Sie über solche anderen Fragen keine Instruktionen erteilen, wird Ihr Nominee sich nicht an der Abstimmung über diese Punkte beteiligen und seine Stimmen gelten als nicht abgegeben. Wir empfehlen Ihnen daher, dem Nominee gemäss den Anleitungen auf der Stimmkarte Stimminstruktionen zu erteilen.

Alle anderen Anträge erachten wir als Routineangelegenheit. Sämtliche Stimmenthaltungen durch Nominees werden als nicht abgegebene Stimmen gezählt. Bis wann kann ich meine Stimminstruktionen einreichen? Wenn Sie Ihre Aktien über ein amerikanisches oder kanadisches Institut halten, können Sie bis am Donnerstag, 11. Dezember 2014, 23:59 Uhr (U.S. Eastern Standard Time) Stimminstruktionen erteilen. kann ich eine Instruktion ändern? Sie können Ihre Vollmacht widerrufen und Ihre Instruktionen jederzeit bis zur Abstimmung an der Generalversammlung ändern. Sie können Ihre Instruktionen a) via Internet oder Telefon (einzig die letzte Internet- oder Telefoninstruktion, welche vor der Generalversammlung übermittelt wird, ist massgebend), b) durch Einsendung einer neuen, vollständig ausgefüllten Stimmkarte, die ein späteres Datum trägt als die vorhergehende oder c) durch persönliche Teilnahme an der Generalversammlung, wenn Sie von Ihrem Nominee eine Vollmacht erhalten, ändern. Die Teilnahme an der Generalversammlung hebt die vorhergehenden Instruktionen nur auf, wenn Sie sich aktiv an der Abstimmung beteiligen oder wenn Sie Ihre Vollmacht ausdrücklich schriftlich widerrufen. wie kann ich einen separaten Satz des Stimmmaterials bekommen oder einen einzigen Satz für meinen Haushalt in den vereinigten Staaten von Amerika verlangen? Wir haben ein von der SEC genehmigtes Verfahren namens „Householding“ für Aktionäre in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika eingeführt. Gemäss diesem Verfahren werden Aktionäre, welche die gleiche Adresse und den gleichen Nachnamen haben und nicht an der elektronischen Zustellung des Stimmmaterials teilnehmen, nur eine Kopie des Informationsmaterials und des Jahresberichts erhalten, sofern nicht einer oder mehrere dieser Aktionäre uns benachrichtigen, dass sie auch weiterhin je ein individuelles Exemplar zu erhalten wünschen. Dieses Verfahren verringert unsere Druck- und Versandkosten. Jeder amerikanische Aktionär, der am Householding teilnimmt, wird auch weiterhin Zugriff auf eine separate Stimmkarte haben bzw. eine solche erhalten. Sollten Sie diesmal eine separate Kopie des Informationsmaterials und des Jahresberichts zu erhalten wünschen, bitten wir Sie, das zusätzliche Exemplar bei unserem Mailing Agent, Broadridge, per Telefon unter +1-800-579-1639 oder per E-Mail unter sendmaterial@proxyvote.com zu verlangen. Sollten Aktionäre in Ihrem Haushalt in Zukunft separates Informationsmaterial und einen separaten Jahresbericht zu erhalten wünschen, können diese unsere Investor Relations Group unter +1-510-713-4220 erreichen oder an Investor Relations, 7600 Gateway Boulevard, Newark, California 94560, USA, schreiben. Sie können auch eine E-Mail an unsere Investor Relations Group an LogitechIR@logitech.com senden. Aktionäre, welche mehrere auf ihren Namen lautende Konti haben oder welche eine Adresse mit anderen Aktionären teilen, können uns ermächtigen, den Versand von separaten Informationsmaterialien und separaten Jahresberichten einzustellen indem sie an Investor Relations schreiben oder diese anrufen. wie kann ich sicherstellen, dass ich in zukunft das Stimmmaterial elektronisch erhalte? Sie können uns beauftragen, Ihnen in Zukunft das Stimmmaterial elektronisch zuzustellen. Folgen Sie hierzu bitte den Anweisungen auf der beiliegenden Stimmkarte. Wenn Sie die Wahl treffen, Ihr Stimmmaterial in Zukunft per E-Mail zu erhalten, ersparen Sie uns Druck- und Versandkosten und Sie vermindern die Auswirkungen unserer Generalversammlung auf die Umwelt. Sofern Sie die Wahl treffen, Ihr Stimmmaterial in Zukunft per E-Mail zu erhalten, werden Sie nächstes Jahr eine E-Mail erhalten, die Sie auf die entsprechende Webseite führt, welche das Stimmmaterial sowie einen Link für Stimminstruktionen enthält.

Sollten Sie keine solche Auskunft erhalten haben, bitten wir Sie, sich mit Ihrer Bank oder Ihrem Effektenhändler in Verbindung zu setzen. Bis wann kann ich Stimminstruktionen erteilen, wenn meine Aktien über eine Bank oder einen Effektenhändler eingetragen sind? Üblicherweise setzen Banken und Effektenhändler Fristen für den Erhalt der Stimminstruktionen. Ausserhalb der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika und Kanadas läuft diese Frist normalerweise zwei bis drei Tage vor Ablauf jener Frist ab, die die Gesellschaft für ihre Generalversammlung ansetzt. Dies erlaubt den Instituten, die Stimminstruktionen zu sammeln und an die Gesellschaft weiterzugeben. Wenn Sie Ihre Logitech Aktien über eine Bank oder einen Effektenhändler ausserhalb der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika oder Kanadas halten, bitten wir Sie mit Ihrer Bank oder Ihrem Effektenhändler die anwendbare Frist abzuklären und Ihre Stimminstruktionen zeitgerecht zu erteilen. wEITERE INFORmATIONEN üBER DIE GENERALvERSAmmLUNG Anträge Der Verwaltungsrat beabsichtigt nicht, an der Generalversammlung andere Anträge zu stellen, noch hat er Gründe anzunehmen, dass Aktionäre zusätzliche Anträge stellen werden.

Einholen von Stimminstruktionen (Proxy Solicitation) Wir haben nicht die Absicht, ein Unternehmen mit der Einholung von Stimminstruktionen zu beauftragen. Einzelne unserer Verwaltungsräte, Geschäftsleitungsmitglieder und andere Mitarbeiter dürfen Sie schriftlich, per Telefon, E-Mail oder auf sonstige Weise darum ersuchen, ihnen Stimminstruktionen zu erteilen, ohne dass diese dafür entschädigt werden. In den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika sind wir ausserdem verpflichtet, den Effektenhändlern und Nominees, die als Aktionäre eingetragen sind, das Stimmmaterial zuzustellen und diese einzuladen, es an die wirtschaftlich Berechtigten weiterzuleiten. Wir müssen diese Effektenhändler und Nominees gemäss den dafür bestehenden gesetzlichen Spesenreglementen für ihre in diesem Zusammenhang entstehenden Umtriebe entschädigen.

Die Frist zur Einreichung von Anträgen für die ordentliche Generalversammlung 2014 ist am 4. November 2014 abgelaufen.

Erläuterungen Die Konzernrechnung und die Jahresrechnung der Logitech International S.A. für das Geschäftsjahr 2014 sind im Geschäftsbericht wiedergegeben, der allen eingetragenen Aktionären mit dieser Einladung oder bereits im Vorfeld zugänglich gemacht wurde. Der Geschäftsbericht enthält ebenfalls die Berichte der Revisionsstelle und zusätzliche Informationen über den Geschäftsgang der Gesellschaft, ihre Organisation und Strategie sowie den Bericht über die Corporate Governance gemäss der SIX Swiss Exchange Richtlinie über Corporate Governance. Der Entschädigungsbericht ist in dieser Einladung enthalten. Kopien des Geschäftsberichtes und der Einladung mit Informationsmaterial sind im Internet auf http://ir.logitech.com abrufbar. Nach schweizerischem Recht ist der Geschäftsbericht einschliesslich Jahresrechnung und Konzernrechnung schweizerischer Gesellschaften jährlich der Generalversammlung zur Genehmigung vorzulegen. Das Einschliessen des Entschädigungsberichtes in die Genehmigung des Geschäftsberichtes ist eine vorgeschlagene Best Practice Empfehlung, angeregt durch den „Swiss Code of Best Practice for Corporate Governance“ der „economiesuisse“, dem führenden Wirtschaftsdachverband der Schweiz. Sollte dieser Antrag von den Aktionären abgelehnt werden, wird der Verwaltungsrat eine ausserordentliche Generalversammlung einberufen, um den Antrag erneut vorzubringen. Eine Annahme dieses Antrags begründet keine Genehmigung oder Ablehnung der einzelnen im Jahresbericht, im Entschädigungsbericht, in der Konzernrechnung und der Jahresrechnung für das Geschäftsjahr 2014 aufgeführten Punkte. PricewaterhouseCoopers AG, die Revisionsstelle der Logitech, empfiehlt den Aktionären ohne Vorbehalt, die Konzernrechnung und die Jahresrechnung 2014 zu genehmigen. PricewaterhouseCoopers AG ist der Ansicht, „dass die Konzernrechnung für das am 31. März 2014 endende Geschäftsjahr die finanzielle Situation, die Ergebnisse der Geschäftstätigkeit und die Geldflüsse ordnungsgemäss und in jeder Hinsicht vollständig wiedergibt und in Übereinstimmung sowohl mit den Buchhaltungsprinzipien, die in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika allgemein anwendbar sind (U.S. GAAP), als auch in Übereinstimmung mit dem schweizerischen Recht steht.

Erläuterungen Anlässlich der ordentlichen Generalversammlungen 2009 und 2010 von Logitech beantragte der Verwaltungsrat den Aktionären die Entschädigungsphilosophie, -politik und -praktiken der Logitech, wie sie im Kapitel „Compensation Discussion and Analysis“ des Entschädigungsberichts erläutert sind, zu genehmigen. Dies geschah vor dem Hintergrund der sich zunehmend bewährenden „Best Practices in Corporate Governance“ in der Schweiz und den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. Dieser Antrag, allgemein auch als „say-on-pay“-Antrag bekannt, gab unseren Aktionären die Möglichkeit, ihre Ansichten betreffend unserer Entschädigungspraxis im Ganzen kundzutun. Die Aktionäre haben unsere Entschädigungsphilosophie, -politik und -praktiken in den genannten und auch in den Folgejahren befürwortet. Seit 2011 ist eine say-on-pay-Konsultativabstimmung für alle Publikumsgesellschaften, einschliesslich Logitech, die den anwendbaren amerikanischen Proxy Statement Rules unterstehen, vorgeschrieben. An der Generalversammlung 2011 haben die Aktionäre einen Antrag genehmigt, wonach diese Abstimmung jährlich erfolgen soll. Dementsprechend beantragt der Verwaltungsrat den Aktionären im Rahmen einer konsultativen Abstimmung, die Entschädigung für die leitenden Angestellten von Logitech, die im Entschädigungsbericht, einschliesslich der Kapitel „Compensation Discussion and Analysis“, „Summary Compensation Table“ und der dazugehörenden Entschädigungsübersichtstabellen, Anhänge und Erläuterungen, erwähnt sind, zu genehmigen. Diese Abstimmung soll nicht auf spezifische Punkte der Entschädigung oder der genannten leitenden Angestellten eingehen, sondern vielmehr die Gesamtentschädigung der genannten leitenden Angestellten und die Philosophie, Politik und Praktiken, wie sie im Entschädigungsbericht erläutert sind, thematisieren. Diese Abstimmung ist konsultativ und daher nicht verbindlich. Sie wird uns aber Informationen betreffend die Zufriedenheit der Aktionäre mit unserer Entschädigungsphilosophie, -politik und den Entschädigungspraktiken liefern.

Im Besonderen hat Logitech ihren Entschädigungsplan für leitende Angestellte derart gestaltet um: • • • • • • mit ähnlichen, in der gleichen Industrie und Region des Verwaltungssitzes angesiedelten Unternehmen konkurrenzfähig zu sein; einen Ausgleich zwischen festem und variablem Lohnbestandteil sicherzustellen und einen Grossteil der Gesamtentschädigung von Logitechs Geschäftsergebnis abhängig zu machen, jedoch unter Aufrechterhaltung eines Kontrollsystems zur Vermeidung des Eingehens unangebrachter Risiken und unter Berücksichtigung des jährlichen und langfristigen Erfolgs; einen Ausgleich zwischen kurz- und langfristigen Zielen und Ergebnissen zu schaffen; die Entschädigung leitender Angestellter mit dem Interesse der Aktionäre zu vereinbaren, indem ein bedeutender Teil der Entschädigung mit der Erhöhung des Aktienwertes verknüpft wird; ein leistungsorientiertes Umfeld zu fördern; und die Beurteilung des Vergütungsausschusses der Rolle und der erbrachten Leistung jedes Managers wiederzuspiegeln, die durch einen Grundlohn und kurzfristige Boni entlöhnt werden, sowie das persönliche Potential für den zukünftigen Einsatz für Logitech durch eine Langzeitbeteiligung am Eigenkapital zu fördern. Der Vergütungsausschuss des Verwaltungsrates hat einen Entschädigungsplan ausgearbeitet, der ausführlicher im Entschädigungsbericht, welcher dieser Einladung beiliegt, erläutert wird. Weitere Einzelheiten zu Entschädigungsphilosophie, Risiken und Ausgestaltung des Entschädigungsplans von Logitech sowie den Entschädigungen, welche im Geschäftsjahr 2014 ausbezahlt wurden, sind ebenfalls im Entschädigungsbericht dargelegt. Auch wenn die Entschädigung eine zentrale Rolle spielt, wenn es darum geht, leitende Angestellte und Mitarbeitende für die Gesellschaft zu gewinnen und zu einer langfristigen Zusammenarbeit zu motivieren, sind wir der Ansicht, dass dies nicht der einzige oder ausschliessliche Grund dafür ist, warum ausgezeichnete leitende Angestellte oder Mitarbeitende sich für Logitech entschliessen und auch bleiben, oder warum sie grossen Einsatz zeigen, um ein gutes Resultat für die Aktionäre zu erreichen. Diesbezüglich sind sich sowohl Vergütungsausschuss als auch Geschäftsleitung einig, dass es ganz wesentlich ist, ein gutes Arbeitsumfeld sowie Perspektiven zu schaffen, die es Mitarbeitenden ermöglichen, sich zu entwickeln und ihr persönliches Potential voll auszuschöpfen. Auch diese Aspekte spielen eine Schlüsselrolle für Logitechs Erfolg, leitende Angestellte und Mitarbeitende für die Gesellschaft zu gewinnen und zu einer langfristigen Zusammenarbeit zu motivieren. Notwendige mehrheit zur Genehmigung Der Antrag ist genehmigt, wenn er eine Mehrheit der an der Generalversammlung abgegebenen Stimmen, entweder persönlich oder aufgrund einer Vollmacht, auf sich vereinigt, wobei Enthaltungen nicht gezählt werden. Empfehlung Der Verwaltungsrat beantragt, dass die Generalversammlung mittels Konsultativabstimmung die an die leitenden Angestellten von Logitech gezahlten Entschädigungen, wie sie im Entschädigungsbericht, einschliesslich der Kapitel „Compensation Discussion and Analysis“, „Summary Compensation Table“ und der dazugehörenden Entschädigungsübersichtstabellen, Anhänge und Erläuterungen, erwähnt sind, genehmigt. 34 35 DEUTSCHJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 36 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 37 OPERATOR JoyD Antrag 3 verwendung des Bilanzgewinns und Festsetzung der Dividende Antrag Der Verwaltungsrat beantragt, den Bilanzgewinn von CHF 458’526’520 (USD 516’495’536 zum Wechselkurs vom 31.

Ende Geschäftsjahr 31. märz 2014 CHF 458’536’520 CHF 42’761’295 CHF415’775’225 Der Verwaltungsrat beantragt, eine Bruttodividende von CHF 0.2625 je Aktie (ungefähr USD 0.2957 je Aktie zum Wechselkurs vom 31. März 2014**), bzw. einen Gesamtbetrag von ca. CHF 42’761’295 auszuschütten.* Es wird keine Ausschüttung für eigene Aktien der Gesellschaft oder ihrer Tochtergesellschaften vorgenommen. Wird der Antrag des Verwaltungsrates genehmigt, erfolgt um den 30. Dezember 2014 herum die Auszahlung der Dividende an alle Aktionäre, welche am Stichtag im Aktienregister eingetragen sind. Die Dividende beträgt CHF 0.2625 je Aktie (respektive ca. CHF 0.1706 je Aktie nach Abzug der 35% Verrechnungssteuer, sofern diese zu entrichten ist). Der Stichtag wird um den 29. Dezember 2014 herum liegen. Wir gehen davon aus, dass die Aktien ungefähr ab dem 24. Dezember 2014 ex-Dividende gehandelt werden. Erläuterungen Gemäss schweizerischem Gesellschaftsrecht muss die Generalversammlung bei jeder jährlichen ordentlichen Generalversammlung über Annahme oder Ablehnung in Bezug auf die Verwendung des Bilanzgewinns abstimmen. Der Bilanzgewinn, über den die Aktionäre der Logitech an der ordentlichen Generalversammlung 2014 verfügen können, ist der Bilanzgewinn der Logitech International S.A., der Holdinggesellschaft von Logitech. Der Antrag des Verwaltungsrates, eine Bruttodividende von CHF 0.2625 je Aktie auszuschütten, bedeutet eine Erhöhung um 25% gegenüber dem Vorjahr und ist auf einen starken Cash Flow aus der Geschäftstätigkeit zurückzuführen. Mit seinem Antrag zeigt der Verwaltungsrat seine Zuversicht in die Zukunft der Gesellschaft. Der Verwaltungsrat hat sich ab dem Geschäftsjahr 2013 für eine alljährlich wiederkehrende Bruttodividende und nicht bloss für eine gelegentliche Dividende entschieden. Folglich erwartet die Gesellschaft (vorbehaltlich der Genehmigung der Revisionsstelle der Gesellschaft für das jeweilige Jahr), ihren Aktionären jedes Jahr eine solche Dividende beantragen zu können. Neben der Dividendenausschüttung beantragt der Verwaltungsrat den restlichen Bilanzgewinn vorzutragen, da er davon überzeugt ist, dass es im besten Interesse der Logitech und ihrer Aktionäre ist, die Gewinne für zukünftige Investitionen in das Wachstum des Geschäfts der Logitech, für Aktienrückkäufe und für den möglichen Erwerb anderer Gesellschaften oder Geschäftsbereiche zurückzubehalten.

Der Verwaltungsrat beantragt, dass die Statuten der Gesellschaft gemäss Anhang A der englischen Fassung dieser Einladung geändert werden. Die französische Fassung der Änderungen der Statuten der Gesellschaft, welche die einzig rechtlich verbindliche Fassung sein wird, kann auf unserer Webseite unter http://ir.logitech.com eingesehen werden. Erläuterungen Mit dem Inkrafttreten der Verordnung gegen übermässige Vergütungen bei börsenkotierten Aktiengesellschaften, allgemein “Minder Verordnung” genannt, per 1. Januar 2014 wurde das schweizerische Gesellschaftsrecht geändert. Durch die “Minder Verordnung” erfährt das schweizerische Gesellschaftsrecht unter anderem folgende Änderungen: • • • zwingende Wahl durch die Generalversammlung der einzelnen Mitglieder des Verwaltungsrates, des Verwaltungsratspräsidenten, der Mitglieder des Vergütungsausschusses und des unabhängigen Stimmrechtsvertreters für eine Amtsdauer bis zum Abschluss der nächsten ordentlichen Generalversammlung; jährliche Abstimmung mit bindender Wirkung über den Gesamtbetrag der Vergütungen des Verwaltungsrats und der Mitglieder der Geschäftsleitung; und Verbot der institutionellen Stimmrechtsvertretung an der ordentlichen Generalversammlung, ausser bei Vertretung durch den unabhängigen Stimmrechtsvertreter. Gemäss der neuen Gesetzgebung haben die Aktionäre das Recht, persönlich an der ordentlichen Generalversammlung teilzunehmen, eine Person ihrer Wahl dafür zu bevollmächtigen oder dem unabhängigen Stimmrechtsvertreter eine entsprechende Vollmacht zu erteilen. Die “Minder Verordnung” verlangt zudem, dass die Statuten von in der Schweiz kotierten Gesellschaften unter anderem Bestimmungen enthalten über die Abstimmung zu den Vergütungen des Verwaltungsrates und der Geschäftsleitungsmitglieder, über die Aufgaben und Zuständigkeiten des Vergütungsausschusses, über die Grundsätze der Vergütungen des Verwaltungsrates und der Geschäftsleitungsmitglieder, über die höchstens zulässige Anzahl von externen Mandaten der Verwaltungsrats- und Geschäftsleitungsmitglieder und über die maximale Dauer der Verträge zwischen der Gesellschaft und den Verwaltungsrats- und Geschäftsleitungsmitgliedern betreffend Vergütungen. Der Verwaltungsrat beantragt deshalb eine Anpassung der Statuten der Gesellschaft, um den Anforderungen der neuen Gesetzgebung Rechnung zu tragen. Notwendige mehrheit zur Genehmigung Der Antrag ist genehmigt, wenn er eine Mehrheit der an der Generalversammlung abgegebenen Stimmen, entweder persönlich oder aufgrund einer Vollmacht, auf sich vereinigt, wobei Enthaltungen nicht gezählt werden. 36 37 DEUTSCHJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 38 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 39 OPERATOR JoyD Empfehlung Der Verwaltungsrat empfiehlt, dem Antrag auf Änderung der Statuten zuzustimmen. Genehmigung zum Halten eigener Aktien von mehr als 10 % Antrag 5 Antrag Der Verwaltungsrat beantragt der Generalversammlung die Genehmigung zum Halten eigener Aktien von mehr als 10 %. Erläuterungen Gemäss schweizerischem Gesellschaftsrecht werden zurückgekaufte Aktien nicht automatisch vernichtet, sondern als eigene Aktien gehalten, bis diese entweder durch einen Beschluss der Aktionäre vernichtet oder durch die Gesellschaft gebraucht werden, um Lieferungsverpflichtungen nachzukommen, gemäss gewissen zeitlichen und formellen Einschränkungen. Mitglieder des Verwaltungsrates könnten der Gefahr der persönlichen Haftung wegen Schädigung der Gesellschaft ausgesetzt sein, wenn diese mehr als 10 % eigene Aktien hält. Die Zustimmung zu diesem Antrag könnte die persönliche Haftung der Verwaltungsratsmitglieder in diesem Zusammenhang verringern. An den Generalversammlungen 2012 und 2013 haben die Aktionäre die Gesellschaft ermächtigt, mehr als 10 Prozent eigener Aktien zu halten, sofern die Aktien, welche die 10 Prozent Schwelle überschreiten, zum Zweck der Vernichtung anlässlich der ordentlichen Generalversammlungen 2013 und/oder 2014 bzw. 2014 und/ oder 2015 zurückgekauft werden. Am 9. August 2013 ist das ursprüngliche Aktienrückkaufprogramm, unter dem die Gesellschaft Aktienrückkäufe auf einer zweiten Handelslinie vorgenommen hat und so ihren Verpflichtungen gemäss dem schweizerischen Steuerrecht in Zusammenhang mit dem Rückkauf von Aktien über die 10 Prozent Schwelle hinaus nachgekommen ist, ausgelaufen. Im März 2014 gab die Gesellschaft die Genehmigung eines neuen Aktienrückkaufprogramms im Umfang von USD 250 Millionen bekannt, welches für drei Jahre in Kraft bleiben soll. Am 26. September 2014 hielt Logitech ungefähr 5.7 Prozent ihrer Aktien als eigene Aktien. Gemäss den vom Verwaltungsrat genehmigten Aktienrückkaufprogrammen kann die Gesellschaft bis zum 24. April 2017 ungefähr USD 17’310’662 zusätzliche Aktien erwerben. Sofern die Gesellschaft weiterhin Aktienrückkäufe gemäss dem Aktienrückkaufprogramm vornimmt, könnte sie wieder in die Nähe der Schwelle von 10 % der eigenen Aktien kommen oder diese sogar übertreffen. Damit die Gesellschaft in Zukunft mit Flexibilität in Bezug auf ihr Kapital ausgestattet ist, beantragt der Verwaltungsrat die Zustimmung der Aktionäre zum Halten eigener Aktien von mehr als 10 Prozent, sofern die 10% überschreitende Aktien zum Zweck der Vernichtung auf einer zweiten Handelslinie oder auf andere Weise zurückgekauft werden. Sollte die Generalversammlung diesen Antrag ablehnen, wird der Verwaltungsrat veranlassen, dass die Gesellschaft nicht mehr als 10 Prozent eigener Aktien hält. Die möglichen negativen Steuerfolgen kann die Gesellschaft dadurch vermeiden, dass sie die Aktien, welche die 10 Prozent Schwelle überschreiten, auf einer zweiten Handelslinie mit verrechnungssteuerrechtlichen Massnahmen zurückkauft. Sofern die Aktionäre den Antrag des Verwaltungsrates genehmigen und dieser davon Gebrauch macht, würde der Verwaltungsrat die Übernahmekommission um die erforderliche Genehmigung ersuchen und bei der SIX Swiss Exchange die Eröffnung einer zweiten Handelslinie beantragen, um die Aktien zum Zweck der Vernichtung zu erwerben. Zudem wird der Verwaltungsrat auch andere geeignete Massnahmen treffen, um die geschuldete Verrechnungssteuer zu erheben. 38 39 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 38 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 39 OPERATOR JoyD Notwendige mehrheit zur Genehmigung Der Antrag ist genehmigt, wenn er eine Mehrheit der an der Generalversammlung abgegebenen Stimmen, entweder persönlich oder aufgrund einer Vollmacht, auf sich vereinigt, wobei sowohl Enthaltungen als auch Stimmen von Verwaltungsratsmitgliedern und Mitgliedern des Managements von Logitech nicht gezählt werden.

Erläuterungen Es ist in schweizerischen Gesellschaften üblich und in Artikel 698, Absatz 2, Ziffer 5 des schweizerischen Obligationenrechts vorgesehen, den Aktionären die Entlastung der Mitglieder des Verwaltungsrates und der Geschäftsleitung zu beantragen. Die Entlastung betrifft die Haftung für ihre Handlungen während des Geschäftsjahres 2014. Die Entlastung schliesst Verantwortlichkeitsklagen der Gesellschaft oder von Aktionären gegen die Mitglieder des Verwaltungsrates und der Geschäftsleitung aus, sofern sie die Geschäftstätigkeit im Geschäftsjahr 2014 betreffen, und auf Tatsachen beruhen, die den Aktionären mitgeteilt wurden. Aktionäre, die der Entlastung nicht zustimmen oder ihre Aktien nach der Abstimmung ohne Wissen über die Genehmigung dieses Antrages erwerben, sind während einer Frist von sechs Monaten nach der Generalversammlung an den Entlastungsbeschluss nicht gebunden.

This document is designed to comply with both Swiss corporate law and U.S. proxy statement rules. Outside of the U.S. and Canada this Invitation and Proxy Statement will be made available to registered shareholders with certain portions translated into French and German. We made copies of this Invitation and Proxy Statement available to shareholders beginning on November 18, 2014. The Response Coupon is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of Logitech for use at Logitech’s Annual General Meeting. The meeting will be held on Thursday, December 18, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. at SwissTech Convention Center, EPFL, in Lausanne, Switzerland. Who is entitled to vote at the meeting? Shareholders registered in the Share Register of Logitech International S.A. (including in the sub-register maintained by Logitech’s U.S. transfer agent, Computershare) on Thursday, December 11, 2014 have the right to vote. No shareholders will be entered in the Share Register between December 11, 2014 and the day following the meeting. As of September 30, 2014, there were 114,374,671 shares registered and entitled to vote out of a total of 163,259,279 Logitech shares outstanding. The actual number of registered shares that will be entitled to vote at the meeting will vary depending on how many more shares are registered, or deregistered, between September 30, 2014 and December 11, 2014. For information on the criteria for the determination of the U.S. and Canadian “street name” beneficial owners who may vote with respect to the meeting, please refer to “Further Information for U.S. and Canadian “Street Name” Beneficial Owners” below. Who is a registered shareholder? If your shares are registered directly in your name with us in the Share Register of Logitech International S.A., or in our sub-register maintained by our U.S. transfer agent, Computershare, you are considered a registered shareholder, and this Invitation and Proxy Statement and related materials are being sent or made available to you by Logitech. Who is a beneficial owner with shares registered in the name of a custodian, or “street name” owner? Shareholders that have not requested registration on our Share Register directly, and hold shares through a broker, trustee or nominee or other similar organization that is a registered shareholder, are beneficial owners of shares registered in the name of a custodian. If you hold your Logitech shares through a U.S. or Canadian broker, trustee or nominee or other similar organization (also called holding in “street name”), which is the typical practice of our shareholders in the U.S. and Canada, the organization holding your account is considered the registered shareholder for purposes of voting at the meeting, and this Invitation and Proxy Statement and related materials are being sent or made available to you by them. You have the right to direct that organization on how to vote the shares held in your account. Why is it important for me to vote? Logitech is a public company and key decisions can only be made by shareholders. Whether or not you plan to attend, your vote is important so that your shares are represented. 50 51 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 50 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 51 OPERATOR JoyD How many registered shares must be present or represented to conduct business at the meeting? There is no quorum requirement for the meeting. Under Swiss law, public companies do not have specific quorum requirements for shareholder meetings, and our Articles of Incorporation do not otherwise provide for a quorum requirement. Where are Logitech’s principal executive offices? Logitech’s principal executive office in Switzerland is at EPFL – Quartier de l’Innovation, Daniel Borel Innovation Center 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland, and our principal executive office in the United States is at 7600 Gateway Boulevard, Newark, California 94560. Logitech’s main telephone number in Switzerland is +41-(0)21- 863-5111 and our main telephone number in the United States is +1-510-795-8500. How can I obtain Logitech’s proxy statement, annual report and other annual reporting materials? A copy of our 2014 Annual Report to Shareholders, this Invitation and Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2014 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission are available on our website at http://ir.logitech.com. Shareholders also may request free copies of these materials at our principal executive offices in Switzerland or the United States, at the addresses and phone numbers above. Where can I find the voting results of the meeting? We intend to announce voting results at the meeting and issue a press release promptly after the meeting. We will also file the results on a Current Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by Wednesday, December 24, 2014. A copy of the Form 8-K will be available on our website at http://ir.logitech.com. If I am not a registered shareholder, can I attend and vote at the meeting? You may not attend the meeting and vote your shares in person at the meeting unless you either become a registered shareholder by December 11, 2014 or you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, trustee or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the meeting. If you hold your shares through a non-U.S. or non-Canadian broker, trustee or nominee, you may become a registered shareholder by contacting our Share Registrar at Logitech International S.A., c/o Devigus Shareholder Services, Birkenstrasse 47, CH-6343 Rotkreuz, Switzerland, and following their registration instructions or, in certain countries, by requesting registration through the bank or brokerage through which you hold your shares. If you hold your shares through a U.S. or Canadian broker, trustee or nominee, you may become a registered shareholder by contacting your broker, trustee or nominee, and following their registration instructions. FURTHER INFORMATION FOR REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS How can I vote if I do not plan to attend the meeting? If you do not plan to attend the meeting, you may mark the box under Option 3 on the enclosed Response Coupon to appoint the Independent Representative, Ms. Béatrice Ehlers, to represent you at the meeting. Please provide your voting instructions by marking the applicable boxes beside the agenda items on the Response Coupon and sign, date and promptly mail your completed Response Coupon using the appropriate enclosed postage paid envelope.

If you wish to attend the meeting, you will need to obtain an admission card. You may obtain an admission card by marking Option 1 on the Response Coupon, and sending the completed, signed and dated Response Coupon to Logitech using the enclosed postage paid envelope by Thursday, December 11, 2014. We will send you an admission card for the meeting. If an admission card is not received by you prior to the meeting and you are a registered shareholder as of December 11, 2014, you may attend the meeting by presenting proof of identification at the meeting. Can I have another person represent me at the meeting? Yes. If you would like someone other than the Independent Representative to represent you at the meeting, please mark Option 2 on the Response Coupon and provide the name and address of the person you want to represent you. Please return the completed, signed and dated Response Coupon to Logitech using the enclosed postage paid envelope by December 11, 2014. We will send an admission card for the meeting to your representative. If the name and address instructions you provide are not clear Logitech will send the admission card to you, and you must forward it to your representative. Can I sell my shares before the meeting if I have voted? Logitech does not block the transfer of shares before the meeting. However, if you sell your Logitech shares before the meeting and Logitech’s Share Registrar is notified of the sale, your votes with those shares will not be counted. Any person who purchases shares after the Share Register closes on Thursday, December 11, 2014 will not be able to register them until the day after the meeting and so will not be able to vote the shares at the meeting. If I vote by proxy using the Response Coupon, can I change my vote after I have voted? You may change your vote at any time before the final vote at the meeting. You may revoke your vote by requesting a new Response Coupon from us, and we will cancel your prior Response Coupon. If you wish to vote again, you may complete the new Response Coupon and return it to us, or you may attend the meeting and vote in person. However, your attendance at the meeting will not automatically revoke your Response Coupon unless you vote again at the meeting or specifically request in writing that your prior Response Coupon be revoked. If I vote by proxy using the Response Coupon, what happens if I do not give specific voting instructions? If you are a registered shareholder and sign and return a Response Coupon without giving specific voting instructions for some or all agenda items, you thereby give general instructions to the Independent Representative to vote your shares in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors for such agenda items as well as for new and amended proposals that could be formulated during the course of the meeting. Who can I contact if I have questions? If you have any questions or need assistance in voting your shares, please call us at +1-510-713-4220 or e-mail us at logitechIR@logitech.com. 52 53 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 52 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 53 OPERATOR JoyD FURTHER INFORMATION FOR U.S. OR CANADIAN “STREET NAME” BENEFICIAL OWNERS Who may provide voting instructions for the meeting? For purposes of U.S. or Canadian beneficial shareholder voting, shareholders holding shares through a U.S. or Canadian broker, trustee or nominee organization on October 30, 2014 may direct the organization on how to vote. Logitech has made arrangements with a service company to U.S. and Canadian brokers, trustees and nominee organizations for that service company to provide a reconciliation of share positions of U.S. and Canadian “street name” beneficial owners between October 30, 2014 and December 2, 2014, which Logitech determined is the last practicable date before the meeting for such a reconciliation. These arrangements are intended to result in the following adjustments: If a U.S. or Canadian “street name” beneficial owner as of October 30, 2014 votes but subsequently sells their shares before December 2, 2014, their votes will be cancelled. A U.S. or Canadian “street name” beneficial owner as of October 30, 2014 that has voted and subsequently increases or decreases their shareholdings but remains a beneficial owner as of December 2, 2014 will have their votes increased or decreased to reflect their shareholdings as of December 2, 2014. If you acquire Logitech shares in “street name” after October 30, 2014 through a U.S. or Canadian broker, trustee or nominee, and wish to vote at the meeting or provide voting instructions by proxy, you must become a registered shareholder. You may become a registered shareholder by contacting your broker, trustee or nominee, and following their registration instructions. In order to allow adequate time for registration, for proxy materials to be sent or made available to you, and for your voting instructions to be returned to us before the meeting, please begin the registration process as far before December 11, 2014 as possible. If I am a U.S. or Canadian “street name” beneficial owner, how do I vote? If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and you wish to vote in person at the meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from the organization that holds your shares. If you do not wish to vote in person, you may vote by proxy. You may vote by proxy over the Internet, by telephone or by mail, as permitted by your broker, trustee or nominee, by following the instructions provided on the enclosed proxy card. What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions? If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” in the United States or Canada and do not provide your broker, trustee or nominee with specific voting instructions, then under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, trustee or nominee may generally vote on routine matters but cannot vote on non-routine matters. If the organization that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, your shares will not be voted on such matter and will not be considered votes cast on the applicable Proposal. We encourage you to provide voting instructions to the organization that holds your shares by carefully following the instructions provided on the enclosed proxy card. We believe the following Proposals will be considered non-routine: Proposal 2 (Advisory vote to approve executive compensation), Proposal 3 (Appropriation of retained earnings and declaration of dividend), Proposal 4 (Amendment of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation), Proposal 5 (Authorization to exceed 10% holding of own share capital), Proposal 6 (Release of the Board of Directors and Executive Officers from liability for activities during fiscal year 2014), Proposal 7 (Elections to the Board of Directors), Proposal 8 (Election of the Chairman), Proposal 9 (Elections to the Compensation Committee), Proposal 11 (Election of the Independent Representative). All other Proposals involve matters that we believe will be considered routine. Any “broker non-votes” on any Proposals will not be considered votes cast on the Proposal. 52 53 EnglishJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 54 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 55 OPERATOR JoyD What is the deadline for delivering my voting instructions? If you hold your shares through a U.S. or Canadian bank or brokerage or other custodian, you have until 11:59 pm (U.S. Eastern Standard Time) on Thursday, December 11, 2014 to deliver your voting instructions. Can I change my vote after I have voted? You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the final vote at the meeting. You may vote again on a later date on the Internet or by telephone (only your latest Internet or telephone proxy submitted prior to the meeting will be counted), or by signing and returning a new proxy card with a later date, or by attending the meeting and voting in person, if you have a “legal proxy” that allows you to attend the meeting and vote. However, your attendance at the Annual General Meeting will not automatically revoke your proxy unless you vote again at the meeting or specifically request in writing that your prior proxy be revoked. How do I obtain a separate set of proxy materials or request a single set for my household in the United States? We have adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called “householding” for shareholders in the United States. Under this procedure, shareholders who have the same address and last name and do not participate in electronic delivery of proxy materials will receive only one copy of our proxy statement and annual report unless one or more of these shareholders notifies us that they wish to continue receiving individual copies. This procedure reduces our printing costs and postage fees. Each U.S. shareholder who participates in householding will continue to be able to access or receive a separate proxy card. If you wish to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report at this time, please request the additional copy by contacting our mailing agent, Broadridge, by telephone at +1-800-579-1639 or by e-mail at sendmaterial@proxyvote.com. If any shareholders in your household wish to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report in the future, they may call our investor relations group at +1-510-713-4220 or write to Investor Relations, 7600 Gateway Boulevard, Newark, California 94560. They may also send an email to our investor relations group at logitechIR@logitech.com. Other shareholders who have multiple accounts in their names or who share an address with other stockholders can authorize us to discontinue mailings of multiple proxy statements and annual reports by calling or writing to investor relations. How do I choose to receive future proxy materials electronically? You can instruct us to send our future proxy materials to you electronically by following the instructions on the enclosed proxy card. Choosing to receive your future proxy materials by email will save us the cost of printing and mailing documents to you and will reduce the impact of our annual shareholders’ meetings on the environment. If you choose to receive future proxy materials by email, you will receive an email next year with instructions containing a link to those materials and a link to the proxy voting site. Your election to receive proxy materials by email will remain in effect until you terminate it. 54 55 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 54 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 55 OPERATOR JoyD FURTHER INFORMATION FOR SHAREHOLDERS WITH SHARES REGISTERED THROUGH A BANK OR BROKERAGE AS CUSTODIAN (OUTSIDE THE U.S. OR CANADA) How do I vote by proxy if my shares are registered through my bank or brokerage as custodian? Your broker, trustee or nominee should have enclosed or provided voting instructions for you to use in directing the broker, trustee or nominee how to vote your shares. If you did not receive such instructions you must contact your bank or brokerage for their voting instructions. What is the deadline for delivering my voting instructions if my Logitech shares are registered through my bank or brokerage as custodian? Banks and brokerages typically set deadlines for receiving instructions from their account holders. Outside of the U.S. and Canada, this deadline is typically two to three days before the deadline of the company holding the general meeting. This is so that the custodians can collect the voting instructions and pass them on to the company holding the meeting. If you hold Logitech shares through a bank or brokerage outside the U.S. or Canada, please check with your bank or brokerage for their specific voting deadline and submit your voting instructions to them as far before that deadline as possible. OTHER MEETING INFORMATION Meeting Proposals There are no other matters that the Board intends to present, or has reason to believe others will present, at the Annual General Meeting. If you are a registered shareholder and sign and return a Response Coupon without giving specific voting instructions for some or all agenda items, you thereby give general instructions to the Independent Representative to vote your shares in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors for such agenda items as well as for new and amended proposals that could be formulated during the course of the meeting. If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” in the United States or Canada, if other matters are properly presented for voting at the meeting and you have provided discretionary voting instructions on a voting instruction card or through the Internet or other permitted voting mechanisms or have not provided voting instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors at the meeting on such matters. Proxy Solicitation We do not expect to retain a proxy solicitation firm. Certain of our directors, officers and other employees, without additional compensation, may also solicit proxies personally or in writing, by telephone, e-mail or otherwise. In the United States, we are required to request that brokers and nominees who hold shares in their names furnish our proxy material to the beneficial owners of the shares, and we must reimburse such brokers and nominees for the expenses of doing so in accordance with certain U.S. statutory fee schedules. Tabulation of Votes Representatives of at least two Swiss banks will serve as scrutineers of the vote tabulations at the meeting. As is typical for Swiss companies, our Share Registrar will tabulate the voting instructions of registered shareholders that are provided in advance of the meeting. 54 55 EnglishJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 56 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 57 OPERATOR JoyD Shareholder Proposals and Nominees Shareholder Proposals for 2014 Annual General Meeting Under our Articles of Incorporation, one or more registered shareholders who together represent shares representing at least the lesser of (i) one percent of our issued share capital or (ii) an aggregate par value of one million Swiss francs may demand that an item be placed on the agenda of a meeting of shareholders. Any such proposal must be included by the Board in our materials for the meeting. A request to place an item on the meeting agenda must be in writing and describe the proposal.

A registered shareholder that satisfies the minimum shareholding requirements in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation may demand that an item be placed on the agenda for our 2015 meeting of shareholders by delivering a written request describing the proposal to the Secretary of Logitech at our principal executive office in either Switzerland or the United States no later than July 9, 2015. In addition, if you are a registered shareholder and satisfy the shareholding requirements under Rule 14a-8 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), you may submit a proposal for consideration by the Board of Directors for inclusion in the 2015 Annual General Meeting agenda by delivering a request and a description of the proposal to the Secretary of Logitech at our principal executive office in either Switzerland or the United States no later than March 25, 2015. The proposal will need to comply with Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, which lists the requirements for the inclusion of shareholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials under U.S. securities laws. Under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation only registered shareholders are recognized as Logitech shareholders. As a result, if you are not a registered shareholder you may not make proposals for the 2015 Annual General Meeting.

Under Swiss law, the annual report and financial statements of Swiss companies must be submitted to shareholders for approval or disapproval at each annual general meeting. The submission of the compensation report to a vote of shareholders as part of the approval of the annual report is a suggested best practice under Swiss best corporate governance principles published by economiesuisse, a leading Swiss business organization. In the event of a negative vote on this proposal by shareholders, the Board of Directors will call an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders for re-consideration of this proposal by shareholders. Approval of this proposal does not constitute approval or disapproval of any of the individual matters referred to in the Annual Report, the Compensation Report or the consolidated or statutory financial statements for fiscal year 2014. PricewaterhouseCoopers S.A., as Logitech auditors, issued an unqualified recommendation to the Annual General Meeting that the Logitech consolidated and Logitech International S.A. financial statements be approved. PricewaterhouseCoopers S.A. express their opinion that the “consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2014 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, the results of operations and the cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and comply with Swiss law.” They further express their opinion and confirm that the financial statements and the proposed appropriation of available earnings comply with Swiss law and the Articles of Incorporation of Logitech International S.A. Voting Requirement to Approve Proposal The affirmative “FOR” vote of a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Annual General Meeting, not counting abstentions. Recommendation The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” approval of the Annual Report, the Compensation Report, the consolidated financial statements and the statutory financial statements of Logitech International S.A. for fiscal year 2014. 56 57 EnglishJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 58 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 59 OPERATOR JoyD Proposal 2 Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation Proposal The Board of Directors proposes that shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of Logitech’s named executive officers disclosed in Logitech’s Compensation Report for fiscal year 2014. Explanation At Logitech’s 2009 and 2010 Annual General Meetings, the Logitech Board of Directors voluntarily asked shareholders to approve Logitech’s compensation philosophy, policies and practices, as set out in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of the Compensation Report, as a reflection of evolving best practices in corporate governance in Switzerland and in the United States. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gave our shareholders the opportunity to express their views on our compensation as a whole. Shareholders were supportive of our compensation philosophy, policies and practices in those years and every year since. Beginning with the 2011 Annual General Meeting, a say-on-pay advisory vote was required for all public companies, including Logitech, that are subject to the applicable U.S. proxy statement rules. At the 2011 Annual General Meeting, shareholders approved a proposal to take this vote annually. Accordingly, the Board of Directors is asking shareholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of Logitech’s named executive officers disclosed in the Compensation Report, including the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Summary Compensation table and the related compensation tables, notes, and narrative. This vote is not intended to address any specific items of compensation or any specific named executive officer, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in the Compensation Report. This say-on-pay vote is advisory and therefore is not binding. However, the say-on-pay vote will provide information to us regarding shareholder sentiment about our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices, which the Compensation Committee of the Board will be able to consider when determining future executive compensation. The Committee will seek to determine the causes of any significant negative voting result. As discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of Logitech’s 2014 Compensation Report, Logitech has designed its compensation programs to attract, retain and motivate the high caliber of executives, managers and staff that is critical to the long-term success of its business. More specifically, Logitech’s executive compensation programs have been designed to: • • • • • • be competitive with comparable companies in the industry and in the region where the executive is based; maintain a balance between fixed and variable compensation and place a significant portion of total compensation at risk based on the Company’s performance, while maintaining controls over inappropriate risk-taking by balancing annual and long-term performance; provide a balance between short-term and long-term objectives and results; align executive compensation with shareholders’ interests by tying a significant portion of compensation to increasing share value; support a performance-oriented culture; and reflect the Compensation Committee’s assessment of an executive’s role and past performance through base salary and short-term cash incentives, and his or her potential for future contribution to Logitech through long-term equity incentive awards. The Compensation Committee of the Board has developed a compensation program that is described more fully in the Compensation Report included in the Annual Report and this Invitation and Proxy Statement. Logitech’s compensation philosophy, compensation program risks and design, and compensation paid during fiscal year 2014 are also set out in the Compensation Report. While compensation is a central part of attracting, retaining and motivating the best executives and employees, we believe it is not the sole or exclusive reason why exceptional executives or employees choose to join and stay at Logitech, or why they work hard to achieve results for shareholders. In this regard, both the Compensation Committee and management believe that providing a working environment and opportunities in which executives and employees can develop, express their individual potential, and make a difference, are also a key part of Logitech’s success in attracting, motivating and retaining executives and employees. 58 59 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 58 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 59 OPERATOR JoyD Voting Requirement to Approve Proposal The affirmative “FOR” vote of a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Annual General Meeting, not counting abstentions.

Year ended March 31, 2014 CHF 458,536,520 CHF (42,761,295) CHF 415,775,225 The Board of Directors proposes distribution of a gross dividend of CHF 0.2625 per share (approximately US $0.2957 per share based on the exchange rate on March 31, 2014**), or an aggregate amount of approximately CHF 42,761,295.* No distribution shall be made on shares held in treasury by the Company and its subsidiaries. If the proposal of the Board of Directors is approved, the dividend payment of CHF 0.2625 per share (or approximately CHF 0.1706 per share after deduction of 35% Swiss withholding tax whenever required) will be made on or about December 30, 2014 to all shareholders on record as of the record date (which will be on or about December 29, 2014). We expect that the shares will be traded ex dividend as of approximately December 24, 2014. Explanation Under Swiss law, the use of retained earnings must be submitted to shareholders for approval or disapproval at each annual general meeting. The retained earnings at the disposal of Logitech shareholders at the 2014 Annual General Meeting are the earnings of Logitech International S.A., the Logitech parent holding company. The proposal of the Board of Directors to distribute a gross dividend of CHF 0.2625 per share represents an increase of 25% over the prior year, following a year of strong cash flow from operations, and is an indication of the Board of Directors’ confidence in the future of the Company. Since fiscal year 2013, the Board of Directors decided on a recurring annual gross dividend and not on an occasional one. As a consequence, the Company expects to propose such a dividend to the shareholders of the Company every year (subject to the approval of the Company’s statutory auditors in the applicable year). Other than the distribution of the dividend, the Board of Directors proposes the carry-forward of retained earnings based on the Board’s belief that it is in the best interests of Logitech and its shareholders to retain Logitech’s earnings for future investment in the growth of Logitech’s business, for share repurchases, and for the possible acquisition of other companies or lines of business. * Calculated based on a gross dividend of CHF 0.2625 per share and 162,900,170 shares outstanding, net of treasury shares, as of March 31, 2014. Distribution-bearing shares are all shares issued except for treasury shares held by Logitech International S.A. on the day preceding the payment of the distribution. ** The actual exchange rate for dividend payments in U.S. dollars will be fixed closer to the record date. 58 59 EnglishJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 60 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 61 OPERATOR JoyD Voting Requirement to Approve Proposal The affirmative “FOR” vote of a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Annual General Meeting, not counting abstentions.

Amendment of the Articles of Incorporation in order to Comply with the New Swiss Corporate Law Proposal 4 Proposal The Board of Directors proposes that the Company’s Articles of Incorporation be amended to reflect recent changes to the Swiss legal framework. The Board of Directors proposes that the Articles of Incorporation of the Company be amended in the manner set forth in Appendix A attached at the end of this Invitation and Proxy Statement. The French text of the proposed changes to the Articles of Incorporation, which is the only one to be legally binding, can be consulted on our website at http://ir.logitech.com. Explanation On January 1, 2014, Swiss corporate law was amended by the entry into force of the Ordinance Against Excessive Compensation by Listed Companies, commonly referred to as the “Minder Ordinance”. The “Minder Ordinance” introduces, among other things, the following amendments to Swiss corporate law: • • • mandatory election by shareholders, on an individual basis, of the members of the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the members of the Compensation Committee and the Independent Representative of shareholders (Independent Representative) for a term of office ending at the closing of the following annual general meeting; annual binding shareholder vote on the aggregate compensation of the Board of Directors and Executive Officers; and prohibition of institutional representation of shareholders at the annual general meeting, other than through the Independent Representative. Under the new legislation, shareholders have the choice to attend the shareholders’ meetings in person, appoint a proxy of their choice, or give proxy to the Independent Representative. Also, the Minder Ordinance requires that the Articles of Incorporation of Swiss listed companies include, among other things, provisions regarding the approval of the compensation of the Board of Directors and Executive Officers, the main powers and duties of the Compensation Committee of the Board, the basic principles of the compensation of the members of the Board of Directors and Executive Officers, the maximum number of external mandates of members of the Board of Directors and Executive Officers and the maximum duration of agreements between the company and members of the Board of Directors and Executive Officers relating to compensation. Therefore, the Board of Directors proposes to amend the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to satisfy the requirements set forth in the new legislation. Voting Requirement to Approve Proposal The affirmative “FOR” vote of a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Annual General Meeting, not counting abstentions. Recommendation of the Board The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” approval of the proposed amendments to the Articles of Incorporation. 60 61 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 60 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 61 OPERATOR JoyD Proposal 5 Authorization to Exceed 10% Holding of Own Share Capital Proposal The Board of Directors proposes that shareholders authorize the Company to hold more than 10 percent of its own shares. Explanation Under Swiss corporate law, shares that are repurchased are not automatically cancelled, but instead are held in the Company’s treasury pending either shareholder approval of their cancellation or re-use by the Company to cover delivery obligations, subject to certain time limits and procedures. Members of the Board of Directors may be exposed to personal liability under Swiss law for harm to the company as a result of it holding more than 10 percent of its own shares. Approval of this proposal may lessen the potential personal liability of the members of the Board of Directors in such a circumstance. At the Company’s 2012 and 2013 Annual General Meetings, shareholders authorized the Company to hold more than 10 percent of its own shares, to the extent that the own shares exceeding the 10 percent ownership threshold are being repurchased with a view to being cancelled at the 2013 and/or 2014 and 2014 and/or 2015, respectively, Annual General Meetings of the Company. On August 9, 2013, the Company’s original share repurchase program, including its “second trading line” that permitted the Company to comply with its obligations under the Swiss tax laws in connection with repurchasing shares above the 10 percent threshold, expired. In March 2014, the Company announced approval of a new $250 million share repurchase program that is expected to remain in effect for three years. As of September 26, 2014, Logitech held approximately 5.7 percent of its own shares in its treasury and, under share repurchase plans authorized by the Board of Directors, the Company may acquire up to approximately 17,310,662 additional shares until April 24, 2017. If the Company continues repurchases under its current stock repurchase program or begins a new stock repurchase program, it may again accumulate shares in treasury approaching or exceeding 10 percent of its issued capital. In order to provide the Company with continued flexibility in the management of its capital, the Board of Directors seeks authorization to cause the Company to hold more than 10 percent of its own shares, to the extent that the shares exceeding the 10 percent ownership threshold are being repurchased, over a second trading line or otherwise, with a view to being cancelled. In the event of a negative vote on this proposal by shareholders, the Board of Directors will cause the Company not to exceed a 10 percent holding of its own shares. There are potential adverse tax consequences to the Company that may be avoided through repurchasing shares above the 10 percent threshold through a “second trading line” with withholding tax arrangements. Should the Board of Directors resolve to make use of the authorization in this proposal, it would apply for applicable approval by the Swiss Takeover Board, and apply for the opening of a second trading line on the SIX Swiss Exchange in order to purchase shares for cancellation. It will also take other appropriate action to levy the withholding tax that would be due in such a case. Voting Requirement to Approve Proposal The affirmative “FOR” vote of a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Annual General Meeting, not counting abstentions and not counting the votes of any member of the Board of Directors or any Logitech executive officers. Recommendation The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” approval of the following resolution: “The Company shall be authorized to hold more than 10 percent of its own shares, to the extent that the own shares exceeding the 10 percent ownership threshold are being repurchased, over a second trading line or otherwise, with a view to being cancelled on the occasion of a reduction of share capital, to be proposed to the Annual General Meeting of the Company in 2015 and/or 2016.” 60 61 EnglishJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 62 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 63 OPERATOR JoyD Release of the Board of Directors and Executive Officers from Liability for Activities during Fiscal Year 2014 Proposal 6 Proposal The Board of Directors proposes that shareholders release the members of the Board of Directors and Executive Officers from liability for activities during fiscal year 2014.

This release from liability exempts members of the Board of Directors or Executive Officers from liability claims brought by the Company or its shareholders on behalf of the Company against any of them for activities carried out during fiscal year 2014 relating to facts that have been disclosed to shareholders. Shareholders that do not vote in favor of the proposal, or acquire their shares after the vote without knowledge of the approval of this resolution, are not bound by the result for a period ending six months after the vote.

Proposal 7 Elections to the Board of Directors Our Board of Directors is presently composed of nine members. Until 2012, each director was elected for a term of three years. At the Company’s 2012 Annual General Meeting, shareholders approved a change such that each director, starting with the directors elected last year, will be subject to a term of one year. At the recommendation of the Nominating Committee, the Board has nominated the ten individuals below to serve as directors for a one-year term, beginning in each case as of the Annual General Meeting on December 18, 2014. Nine of the nominees currently serve as members of the Board of Directors. Their current terms expire on the date of the Annual General Meeting on December 18, 2014. The tenth nominee was recommended by the Nominating Committee of the Board and approved by the Board in October 2014 as a nominee for election to the Board. The term of office ends at the closing of the next Annual General Meeting. There will be a separate vote on each nominee. Under Swiss law, Board members may only be appointed by shareholders.

Explanation KPMG AG, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board, is proposed for election for one year as auditors for Logitech International S.A. The Audit Committee has also appointed KPMG LLP, the U.S. affiliate of KPMG AG, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 for purposes of U.S. securities law reporting.

The Board makes resolutions through a majority vote of the members present at the meetings. In the event of a tie, the vote of the Chairman decides. Logitech’s Articles of Incorporation set the minimum number of directors at three. We had nine members of the Board of Directors as of June 30, 2014. If all of the nominees to the Board presented in Proposal 7 are elected, the Board will have ten members. BOARD OF DIRECTORS INDEPENDENCE The Board of Directors has determined that each of our directors and director nominees, other than Daniel Borel, Bracken Darrell and Guerrino De Luca, qualifies as independent in accordance with the published listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market and Swiss corporate governance best practices guidelines. The Company’s independent directors and director nominees include Matthew Bousquette, Kee-Lock Chua, Sally Davis, Didier Hirsch, Neil Hunt, Dimitri Panayotopoulos and Monika Ribar. The Nasdaq independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not an employee of the company and has not engaged in various types of business dealings with the company. In addition, as further required by Nasdaq rules, the Board has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making these determinations, the directors reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and the Company with regard to each director’s business and personal activities as they may relate to Logitech and Logitech’s management.

None of the Company’s directors holds any official functions or political posts. ELECTIONS TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Directors are elected at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, upon proposal of the Board of Directors. The proposals of the Board of Directors are made following recommendations of the Nominating Committee. Shareholder Recommendations and Nominees Under our Articles of Incorporation, one or more registered shareholders who together represent shares representing at least the lesser of (i) one percent of our issued share capital or (ii) an aggregate par value of one million Swiss francs may demand that an item be placed on the agenda of a meeting of shareholders, including a nominee for election to the Board of Directors. A request to place an item on the meeting agenda must be in writing, describe the proposal and be received by our Board of Directors at least 60 days prior to the date of the meeting. Demands by registered shareholders to place an item on the agenda of a meeting of shareholders should be sent to: Secretary to the Board of Directors, Logitech International S.A., EPFL - Quartier de l’Innovation, Daniel Borel Innovation Center 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland, or c/o Logitech Inc., 7600 Gateway Boulevard, Newark, CA 94560, USA. Under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation only registered shareholders are recognized as shareholders of the company. As a result, beneficial shareholders do not have a right to place an item on the agenda of a meeting, regardless of the number of shares they hold. For information on how beneficial shareholders may become registered shareholders, see “Questions and Answers about the Logitech 2014 Annual General Meeting - If I am not a registered shareholder, can I attend and vote at the meeting?” If the agenda of a general meeting of shareholders includes an item calling for the election of directors, any registered shareholder may propose a candidate for election to the Board of Directors before or at the meeting. The Nominating Committee does not have a policy on consideration of recommendations for candidates to the Board of Directors from registered shareholders. The Nominating Committee considers it appropriate not to have a formal policy for consideration of such recommendations because the evaluation of potential members of the Board of Directors is by its nature a case-by-case process, depending on the composition of the Board at the time, the needs and status of the business of the Company, and the experience and qualification of the individual. Accordingly, the Nominating Committee would consider any such recommendations on a case-by-case basis in their discretion, and, if accepted for consideration, would evaluate any such properly submitted nominee in consideration of the membership criteria set forth under “Board Composition” below. Shareholder recommendations to the Board of Directors should be sent to the above address. Board Composition The Nominating Committee is responsible for reviewing and assessing with the Board the appropriate skills, experience, and background sought of Board members in the context of our business and the then-current membership on the Board. The Nominating Committee has not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met by each candidate for the Board of Directors or specific qualities or skills that are necessary for one or more of the members of the Board of Directors to possess. Similarly, the Nominating Committee does not have a formal policy on considering diversity in identifying candidates for election or re-election to the Board of Directors. However, we do not expect or intend that each director will have the same background, skills, and experience; we expect that Board members will have a diverse portfolio of backgrounds, skills, and experiences. One goal of this diversity is to assist the Board as a whole in its oversight and advice concerning our business and operations. The review and assessment of Board candidates and the current membership of the Board by the Nominating Committee and the Board includes numerous diverse factors, such as: independence; understanding of and experience in technology, finance, and marketing; international experience; age; and gender and ethnic diversity. 72 73 EnglishJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 74 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 75 OPERATOR JoyD The priorities and emphasis of the Nominating Committee and of the Board with regard to these factors change from time to time to take into account changes in Logitech’s business and other trends, as well as the portfolio of skills and experience of current and prospective Board members. Listed below are key skills and experience that we currently consider important for our directors to have in light of our current business and structure. We do not expect each director to possess every attribute. The directors’ biographies note each director’s relevant experience, qualifications, and skills relative to this list. • • • • • Senior Leadership Experience. Directors who have served in senior leadership positions are important to Logitech, because they bring experience and perspective in analyzing, shaping, and overseeing the execution of important operational and policy issues at a senior level. Financial Expertise. Knowledge of financial markets, financing and funding operations, and accounting and financial reporting processes is important because it assists our directors in understanding, advising, and overseeing Logitech’s structure, financial reporting, and internal control of such activities. Industry and Technical Expertise. Because we develop and manufacture hardware and software products, ship them worldwide, and sell to both major computer manufacturers and consumer electronics distributors and retailers, expertise in hardware and software, and experience in supply chain, manufacturing and consumer products is useful in understanding the opportunities and challenges of our business and in providing insight and oversight of management. Brand Marketing Expertise. Because we are a consumer products company, directors who have brand marketing experience can provide expertise and guidance as we seek to maintain and expand brand and product awareness and a positive reputation. Global Expertise. Because we are a global organization with research and development, and sales and other offices in many countries, directors with global expertise, particularly in Europe and Asia, can provide a useful business and cultural perspective regarding many significant aspects of our business. Identification and Evaluation of Nominees for Directors Our Nominating Committee uses a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for director. Our Nominating Committee regularly assesses the appropriate size and composition of the Board of Directors, the needs of the Board of Directors and the respective Committees of the Board of Directors and the qualifications of candidates in light of these needs. Candidates may come to the attention of the Nominating Committee through shareholders, management, current members of the Board of Directors or search firms. The evaluation of these candidates may be based solely upon information provided to the Committee or may also include discussions with persons familiar with the candidate, an interview of the candidate or other actions the Committee deems appropriate, including the use of paid third parties to review candidates. TERMS OF OFFICE OF DIRECTORS Each director is elected individually by a separate vote of shareholders. Until 2012, each director was elected for a term of three years. At the Company’s 2012 Annual General Meeting, shareholders approved a change such that each director, starting with the directors elected at the 2012 Annual General Meeting, will be subject to a term of one year. Each director is being presented for re-election to the Board of Directors at the 2014 Annual General Meeting. Each director is eligible for re-election until his or her seventieth birthday. Directors may not seek reelection after they have reached 70 years of age, unless the Board of Directors adopts a resolution to the contrary. A member of the Board who reaches 70 years of age during the term of his or her directorship may remain a director until the expiration of the term. A director’s term of office as Chairman coincides with his or her term of office as a director. A director may be indefinitely re-elected as Chairman, subject to the age limit mentioned above. 74 75 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 74 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 75 OPERATOR JoyD The year of appointment and remaining term of office as of March 31, 2014 for each director are as follows: Name Daniel Borel(1) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Logitech believes that there are advantages to having a former Chief Executive Officer as Chairman, for matters such as: leadership continuity; day-to-day assistance to and oversight of the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers; and facilitating communications and relations between the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, and other senior management. Mr. De Luca, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and current Chairman, has served in that role since January 2008. On July 27, 2011, Mr. De Luca assumed the role of acting President and Chief Executive Officer, in addition to continuing his duties as Chairman, at the request of the Board of Directors. The Board appointed Bracken Darrell as President as of April 9, 2012, and he became the Chief Executive Officer as of January 1, 2013. The Board considered the holding of both the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions by Mr. De Luca as a temporary arrangement, and returned to its general practice of the positions being held by separate persons upon the appointment of Mr. Darrell as Chief Executive Officer. 74 75 EnglishJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 76 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 77 OPERATOR JoyD The Chairman of the Board is elected by the shareholders on an annual basis, at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. The Secretary of the Board of Directors is appointed at the Board meeting coinciding with the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. As of September 30, 2014, the Secretary was Ms. Catherine Valentine, the Company’s Vice President, Legal and General Counsel. Role of the Chairman and of the Chief Executive Officer The Chairman assumes a leading role in mid- and long-term strategic planning and the selection of top-level management, and he supports major transaction initiatives of Logitech. The Chief Executive Officer manages the day-to-day operations of Logitech, with the support of the other executive officers. The Chief Executive Officer has, in particular, the following powers and duties: • • • • • • • • • defining and implementing short and medium term strategies; preparing the budget, which must be approved by the Board of Directors; reviewing and certifying the Company’s annual report; appointing, dismissing and promoting any employees of Logitech other than executive officers and the head of the internal audit function; taking immediate measures to protect the interests of the Company where a breach of duty is suspected from executive officers until the Board has decided on the matter; carrying out Board resolutions; reporting regularly to the Chairman of the Board of Directors on the activities of the business; preparing supporting documents for resolutions that are to be passed by the Board of Directors; and deciding on issues brought to his attention by executive officers. The detailed authorities and responsibilities of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer and the executive officers are set out in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Organizational Regulations. Please refer to http://ir.logitech.com for copies of these documents. Lead Independent Director As appointed by the Board, Mr. Bousquette serves as Lead Independent Director. The responsibilities of the Lead Independent Director include chairing meetings of the non-executive directors and serving as the presiding director in performing such other functions as the Board may direct. The Lead Independent Director is elected annually by the Independent Directors. Means by Which the Board of Directors Supervises Executive Officers The Board of Directors is regularly informed on developments and issues in Logitech’s business, and monitors the activities and responsibilities of the executive officers in various ways. • • • At each regular Board meeting the Chief Executive Officer reports to the Board of Directors on developments and important issues. The Chief Executive Officer also provides regular updates to the Board members regarding Logitech’s business between the dates of regular Board meetings. The offices of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer are generally separated, to help ensure balance between leadership of the Board and leadership of the day-to-day management of Logitech. Executive officers and other members of senior management, at the invitation of the Board, attend portions of meetings of the Board and its Committees to report on the financial results of Logitech, its operations, performance and outlook, and on areas of the business within their responsibility, as well as other business matters.

The Board holds quarterly closed sessions, where all Board members meet without the presence of non-Board members, to discuss matters appropriate to such sessions, including organizational structure and the hiring and mandates of executive officers. There are regularly scheduled reviews at Board meetings of Logitech strategic and operational issues, including discussions of issues placed on the agenda by the non-executive members of the Board of Directors. The Board reviews and approves significant changes in Logitech’s structure and organization, and is actively involved in significant transactions, including acquisitions, divestitures and major investments. All non-executive Board members have access, at their request, to all internal Logitech information. The head of the Internal Audit function reports to the Audit Committee. The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight One of the Board’s functions is oversight of risk management at Logitech. “Risk” is inherent in business, and the Board seeks to understand and advise on risk in conjunction with the activities of the Board and the Board’s Committees. The largest risk in any business typically is that the products and services it offers will not be met by customer demand, because of poor strategy, poor execution, lack of competitiveness, or some combination of these or other factors. The Board implements its risk oversight responsibilities, at the highest level, through regular reviews of the Company’s business, product strategy and competitive position, and through management and organizational reviews, evaluations and succession planning. Within the broad strategic framework established by the Board, management is responsible for identifying risk and risk controls related to significant business activities; mapping the risks to company strategy; and developing programs and recommendations to determine the sufficiency of risk identification, the balance of potential risk to potential reward and the appropriate manner in which to control risk. The Board’s risk oversight role is implemented at the full Board level, and also in individual Board Committees. The full Board receives specific reports on enterprise risk management, in which the identification and control of risk are the primary topics of the discussion. Presentations and other information for the Board and Board Committees generally identify and discuss relevant risk and risk control; and the Board members assess and oversee the risks as a part of their review of the related business, financial, or other activity of the Company. The Compensation Committee oversees issues related to the design and risk controls of compensation programs. The Audit Committee oversees issues related to internal control over financial reporting and Logitech’s risk tolerance in cash-management investments. The Board’s role in oversight does not have a direct impact on the Board’s leadership structure, which is discussed above. Board Meetings The Chairman sets the agenda for Board meetings, in coordination with the Chief Executive Officer. Any member of the Board of Directors may request that a meeting of the Board be convened. The directors receive materials in advance of Board meetings allowing them to prepare for the handling of the items on the agenda. The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer recommend executive officers or other members of senior management who, at the invitation of the Board, attend portions of each quarterly Board meeting to report on areas of the business within their responsibility. Infrequently, the Board may also receive reports from external consultants such as executive search or succession experts or outside legal experts to assist the Board on matters it is considering. 76 77 EnglishJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 78 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 79 OPERATOR JoyD The Board typically holds regularly scheduled Board meetings twice each quarter: once for a review and discussion of the Company, its strategy or both, which lasts a full day to a day-and-a-half and in which all directors participate in person except in special individual circumstances; and once for a quarterly earnings-related meeting, which lasts for approximately an hour and in which directors participate in person or by telephone or video conference. Additional meetings of the Board may be held by telephone or video conference and the duration of such meetings varies depending on the subject matters considered. Emergency Resolutions In case of emergency, the Chairman of the Board may have the power to pass resolutions which would otherwise be the responsibility of the Board. Decisions by the Chairman of the Board made in this manner are subject to ratification by the Board of Directors at its next meeting or by way of written consent. No such emergency resolutions were passed during fiscal year 2014. Independent Director Sessions The Board of Directors has adopted a policy of regularly scheduled sessions of Board meetings where the independent directors meet to consider matters without management or non-independent directors present. During fiscal year 2014, separate sessions of the independent directors were held at five separate meetings. Board Effectiveness Our Board of Directors performs an annual self-assessment to evaluate its effectiveness in fulfilling its obligations. BOARD COMMITTEES The Board has standing Audit, Compensation, and Nominating Committees to assist the Board in carrying out its duties. During fiscal year 2014, the Board also had a Committee for Board Compensation but, in March 2014, the Committee for Board Compensation was terminated and its responsibilities were assigned to the Compensation Committee, composed entirely of independent directors. Each of the Board committees is now composed entirely of directors that are independent in accordance with the published listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market and Swiss corporate governance best practices guidelines. At each quarterly Board meeting, each applicable Board Committee reports to the full Board on the substance of the Committee’s meetings, if any, during the quarter. Each Committee has a written charter approved by the Board. The chair of each Committee determines the Committee’s meeting agenda. The Board Committee members receive materials in advance of Committee meetings allowing them to prepare for the meeting. The Charters of each Board Committee are available on Logitech’s Investor Relations website at http://ir.logitech.com. Each of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committees has the authority to engage outside experts, advisors and counsel to the extent it considers appropriate to assist the Committee in its work.

SHARE OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES Members of the Board of Directors and executive officers and other officers who report directly to the Chief Executive Officer or President are subject to share ownership guidelines. Directors are required to own Logitech shares with a market value equal to 3 times the annual Board retainer under guidelines adopted by the Board in June 2006 and revised in June 2013. Directors are required to achieve this ownership within five years of joining the Board, or, in the case of directors serving at the time the guidelines were originally adopted, within five years of the effective date of adoption of the guidelines. The guidelines will be adjusted to reflect any capital adjustments, and will be re-evaluated by the Board from time to time. As of July 31, 2014, each director had either satisfied these ownership guidelines or had time remaining to do so. The Compensation Committee adopted share ownership guidelines for executive officers and other officers who report directly to the Chief Executive Officer or President effective September 2008 and revised in September 2013. These guidelines now apply to executive officers and other officers who report directly to the Chief Executive Officer. These guidelines require: • • the Chief Executive Officer to hold a number of Logitech shares with a market value equal to 5 times his annual base salary; the Chief Financial Officer to hold a number of Logitech shares with a market value equal to 3 time his annual base salary; 82 83 EnglishJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 84 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 85 OPERATOR JoyD • • executive officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to hold a number of Logitech shares with a market value equal to 2 times their respective annual base salaries; and remaining officers who report directly to the Chief Executive Officer to hold a number of Logitech shares with a market value equal to their respective annual base salaries. Officers subject to the guidelines are required to achieve the guideline within five years of being appointed to the position making them subject to the guideline, or, in the case of such officers serving at the time the guidelines were originally adopted, within five years of the effective date of adoption of the guidelines. The guidelines will be adjusted to reflect any capital adjustments, and will be re-evaluated by the Compensation Committee from time to time. Up to 50% of the guideline may be met through the net value of vested, unexercised stock options. If the guideline is not met within five years, the Chief Executive Officer must hold 100% of his after-tax shares resulting from option exercises or other equity incentive awards until the guideline is reached, and all other executive officers and Chief Executive Officer direct reports must hold at least 50% of the net shares resulting from option exercises or other equity incentive awards until the guideline is reached. In addition, if the guideline is not met, the officer will have 50% of the after-tax value of any earned bonuses under the Leadership Team Bonus Program paid in fully vested Logitech shares. This provision was enforced for two officers in connection with the fiscal year 2014 bonuses. As of September 30, 2014, twelve of the thirteen executive officers and other officers who report directly to Chief Executive Officer had either satisfied these ownership guidelines or had time remaining to do so. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS OUR POLICIES It is our policy that all employees must not engage in any activities which could conflict with Logitech’s business interests, which could adversely affect its reputation or which could interfere with the fulfillment of the responsibilities of the employee’s job, which at all times must be performed in the best interests of Logitech. In addition, Logitech employees may not use their position with Logitech, or Logitech’s information or assets, for their personal gain or for the improper benefit of others. These policies are included in our Conflict of Interest and Business Ethics Policy, which covers our directors, executive officers and other employees. If in a particular circumstance the Board concludes that there is or may be a perceived conflict of interest, the Board will instruct our Legal department to work with our relevant business units to determine if there is a conflict of interest. Any waivers to these conflict rules with regard to a director or executive officer require the prior approval of the Audit Committee. NASDAQ RULES AND SWISS BEST CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES Nasdaq rules defining “independent” director status also govern conflict of interest situations, as do Swiss best corporate governance principles published by economiesuisse, a leading Swiss business organization. As discussed above, the Board of Directors has determined that each of our directors and nominee to be a director, other than Mr. Borel, Mr. Darrell and Mr. De Luca, qualifies as “independent” in accordance with the Nasdaq rules. The Nasdaq rules include a series of objective tests that would not allow a director to be considered independent if the director has or has had certain employment, business or family relationships with the company. The Nasdaq independence definition also includes a requirement that the Board review the relations between each independent director and the company on a subjective basis. In accordance with that review, the Board has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships exist that, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. 84 85 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 84 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 85 OPERATOR JoyD SEC RULES In addition to the Logitech and Nasdaq policies and rules described above, the SEC has specific disclosure requirements covering certain types of transactions involving Logitech and a director or executive officer or persons and entities affiliated with them.

We have entered into an indemnification agreement with each of our directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements require us to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Swiss and California law. None of the following persons has been indebted to Logitech or its subsidiaries at any time since the beginning of fiscal year 2014: any of our directors or executive officers; any nominee for election as a director; any member of the immediate family of any of our directors, executive officers or nominees for director; any corporation or organization of which any of our directors, executive officers or nominees is an executive officer or partner or is, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of 10% or more of any class of equity securities (except trade debt entered into in the ordinary course of business); and any trust or other estate in which any of the directors, executive officers or nominees for director has a substantial beneficial interest or for which such person serves as a trustee or in a similar capacity. INDEPENDENT AUDITORS Under Logitech’s Articles of Incorporation, the shareholders elect or re-elect the Company’s independent auditors each year at the Annual General Meeting. Logitech’s independent auditors for fiscal year 2014 were PricewaterhouseCoopers S.A., Lausanne, Switzerland (referred to as “PwC S.A.”). PwC S.A. assumed its first audit mandate for Logitech in 1988. They were re-elected by the shareholders as Logitech’s auditors at the Annual General Meeting in September 2013. For purposes of U.S. securities law reporting, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, San Jose, California (referred to as “PwC LLP”), served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2014. Together, PwC S.A. and PwC LLP are referred to as “PwC.” As appointed by the Board, the Audit Committee is responsible for supervising the performance of the Company’s independent auditors, and recommends the election or replacement of the independent auditors to the Board of Directors. Representatives of PwC were invited to attend all regular meetings of the Audit Committee. During fiscal year 2014, PwC representatives attended all ten of the Audit Committee meetings. The Committee met separately six times with representatives of PwC in closed sessions of Committee meetings. On a quarterly basis, PwC reports on the findings of their audit and/or review work including their audit of Logitech’s internal control over financial reporting. These reports include their assessment of critical accounting policies and practices used, alternative treatments of financial information discussed with management, and other material written communication between PwC and management. At each quarterly Board meeting, the Audit Committee reports to the full Board on the substance of the Committee meetings during the quarter. On an annual basis, the Audit Committee approves PwC’s audit plan and evaluates the performance of PwC and its senior representatives in fulfilling its responsibilities. Moreover, the Audit Committee recommends to the Board the appointment or replacement of the independent auditors, subject to shareholder approval. The Audit Committee reviews the annual report provided by PwC as to its independence. 84 85 EnglishJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 86 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 87 OPERATOR JoyD Change in Independent Auditor As disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on November 13, 2014, PwC S.A. and PwC LLP declined to stand for re-election as Logitech’s independent auditors and as Logitech’s independent registered public accounting firm, respectively, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015. On November 12, 2014, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of Logitech appointed KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 for purposes of U.S. securities law reporting purposes. Information about PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP The reports of PwC on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion; nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. In connection with the audits of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and in the subsequent interim period through November 6, 2014 there were no “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) with PwC LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC LLP would have caused PwC LLP to make reference to the matter in their reports. There were “reportable events” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K) during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 and the subsequent interim period through November 6, 2014, as follows. On September 2, 2014 (U.S. time), the Company announced that the Audit Committee concluded that the consolidated financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2012 included in Logitech’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 and for the three months ended June 30, 2011 included in Logitech’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2011 can no longer be relied on due to an accounting misstatement for inventory valuation reserves for Logitech’s now discontinued Revue product. The restated fiscal year 2012 consolidated financial statements are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. In addition, as previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, the Company’s management concluded that material weaknesses existed as of March 31, 2013, as follows: • • The Company did not design and maintain effective controls over the review of supporting information to determine the completeness and accuracy of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) and disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements; and The Company did not maintain effective controls related to developing an appropriate methodology to accrue the costs of product warranties given to end customers, including an on-going review of the assumptions within the methodology to determine the completeness and accuracy of the warranty accrual. In addition to these material weaknesses, which continued to exist as of March 31, 2014, as a result of the Audit Committee’s investigation and the restatement of the Company’s financial statements the Company’s management concluded that two additional material weaknesses existed as of March 31, 2014, including: • • The Company did not maintain an effective control environment as former finance management exercised bad judgment and failed to provide effective oversight, which resulted in ineffective information and communication, whereby certain of the Company’s finance personnel did not adequately document and communicate accounting issues across the organization, including to our independent registered public accounting firm. Additionally, there was an insufficient complement of personnel with appropriate accounting knowledge, experience and competence, resulting in incorrect conclusions in the application of generally accepted accounting principles; and The Company did not design and maintain effective controls to consider all relevant information and document the underlying assumptions in our assessment of the valuation of finished goods, work in process and components inventory, including non-cancelable orders for such inventory, related to our now discontinued Revue product. 86 87 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 86 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 87 OPERATOR JoyD These material weaknesses, as well as the Company’s plans to remediate them, are set forth in Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 and in Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. Accordingly, the reports of PwC LLP on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2013 and as of March 31, 2014 as well as management’s reports as of the same date, which were included in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for Fiscal Years 2013 and 2014, respectively, contained qualified opinions thereon. The material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that the Company disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal Year 2014 continued to exist during the subsequent interim period through November 6, 2014. The Audit Committee discussed the subject matter of the reportable events with PwC. Other than as disclosed above, there were no reportable events during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and through the subsequent interim period through November 6, 2014. Logitech provided PwC with a copy of the disclosure set forth in this section, which disclosure was set forth in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on November 13, 2014. PwC furnished Logitech with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating their agreement with such disclosure. A copy of the letter was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to such Current Report on Form 8-K. Information about KPMG LLP On November 12, 2014, the Audit Committee appointed KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) to serve as its new independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015. KPMG’s engagement to serve as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm became effective on November 13, 2014. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and prior to engaging KPMG, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted KPMG regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, in connection with which either a written report or oral advice was provided to the Company that KPMG concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or reportable event as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and Item 304(a)(1) (v), respectively. The Company authorized PwC to respond fully and without limitation to all requests of KPMG concerning all matters related to the audited periods by PwC, including with respect to the subject matter of the reportable events summarized above. 86 87 EnglishJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 88 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 89 OPERATOR JoyD AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT FEES In addition to the audit services PwC provides with respect to Logitech’s annual audited consolidated financial statements and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, PwC has provided non-audit services to Logitech in the past and may provide them in the future.

This Compensation Report has been designed to comply with both the proxy statement rules under U.S. securities laws and Swiss regulations. This Report is an integrated part of our Annual Report, Invitation, and Proxy Statement for our 2014 Annual General Meeting. Compensation Discussion and Analysis EXECUTIVE SUMMARY During fiscal year 2014, Logitech continued to execute on its turnaround plan with an increase in sales and a return to operating profit. These results reflected the many changes made to improve company sales with a significant increase in revenue in our growth category businesses while increasing overall operating income through rigorous review of operating expenses. The following are key developments in fiscal year 2014 relating to executive compensation: • • • • Impact of Logitech’s Performance Against Expectations and Relative to Overall Market. When making compensation decisions for fiscal year 2014, the Compensation Committee gave considerable weight to Logitech’s execution of its turnaround plan as well as Logitech’s performance relative to the overall market and our compensation peer group, as highlighted in “Compensation Elements” and other parts of this discussion below. Base Salary Actions. Given Logitech’s financial performance in fiscal year 2013 and our executives’ salary positions versus the market, only two of our executive officers received base salary increases in fiscal year 2014 – our Senior Vice President, CCP Business Group, Mr. Stolk, and our Senior Vice President, Worldwide Operations, Mr. Sullivan. Increased Emphasis on Increasing Shareholder Value. In fiscal year 2014, the majority (60%) of the annual long-term equity incentive awards value granted to the executive officers who were not hired in fiscal year 2014 was in the form of performance-based stock units with vesting that required Logitech’s stock price growth to be equal to or greater than that of the NASDAQ 100 Index before any of the granted shares would vest. Organizational Changes. Logitech hired Vincent Pilette as our Chief Financial Officer in September 2013. He took over the position from Erik K. Bardman who resigned in April 2013. For the three-month period prior to Mr. Pilette’s appointment, Michael Doktorczyk, served as interim Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer. In September 2013 the Board designated Marcel Stolk as an executive officer. The Compensation Committee believes the design of our executive compensation programs – including the balance among fixed compensation (base salary), short-term incentives (our annual incentive bonus program) and long-term incentives (equity) – has and will continue to meet our goal of providing our executives with market-competitive base salaries, compensation packages that provide for above market rewards when Logitech 90 91 EnglishJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 92 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 93 OPERATOR JoyD outperforms both our internal goals and the overall market, and limited rewards when Logitech’s performance does not meet these objectives. Overall, our Compensation Committee has developed executive compensation programs that it believes will provide an incentive to drive a turnaround of the Company’s performance that will reward our shareholders and, as a result of these programs, will reward the executives who help to deliver improved results. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION OBJECTIVES AND PHILOSOPHY Logitech’s executive compensation programs have been designed to: • • • • • • be competitive with comparable companies in our industry and in the region where the executive is based; maintain a balance between fixed and variable compensation and place a significant portion of total compensation at risk based on the Company’s performance, while maintaining controls over inappropriate risk-taking by balancing annual and long-term performance; provide a balance between short-term and long-term objectives and results; align executive compensation with shareholders’ interests by tying a significant portion of compensation to increasing share value; support a performance-oriented culture; and reflect the Compensation Committee’s assessment of an executive’s role and past performance through base salary and short-term cash incentives, and his or her potential for future contribution through long- term equity incentive awards. Logitech’s executive compensation philosophy is to pay executives at or near the median of other companies that compete for similar executive talent, based on our compensation peer group and survey data, and that individual performance and importance to Logitech should be reflected in the compensation of each executive. However, while compensation is a central part of attracting, retaining, and motivating the best executives and employees, we believe it is not the sole or exclusive reason why exceptional executives or employees choose to join and stay at Logitech, or why they work hard to achieve results for shareholders. In this regard, both the Compensation Committee and management believe that providing a working environment and opportunities in which executives and employees can develop, express their individual potential, and make a difference are also a key part of Logitech’s success in attracting, motivating, and retaining executives and employees. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PRACTICES Logitech has employed a number of executive compensation practices that reflect its compensation philosophy: • • • • • As shown in the chart below under the heading “Pay Mix”, the majority of executive officers’ potential compensation is designed to be performance-based, using a variety of performance measures, including measuring Logitech’s performance against Board-established fiscal and other targets for annual incentive cash bonuses, and relative total shareholder return for performance-based equity awards. Logitech has clawback provisions that apply to its annual incentive cash plan and its equity awards plans, which provide for the recovery of compensation by Logitech in certain events described below under the heading “Recovery of compensation for restatement and misconduct”. Logitech does not allow executives or any of its employees to trade in derivatives of Logitech securities or pledge equity awards. Logitech does not maintain any special vesting acceleration or payment arrangements that would be triggered solely by a “change in control” of Logitech. Logitech does not provide special retirement benefits designed solely for executive officers. 92 93 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 92 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 93 OPERATOR JoyD In addition, Logitech has been a leader in providing our shareholders with an opportunity for advisory votes on compensation. Beginning in 2009, Logitech voluntarily submitted its compensation philosophy, policies, and procedures to a shareholder advisory vote. Our voluntary practice is now a requirement under U.S. legislation that provides shareholders the ability to periodically cast advisory votes on executive compensation, and is reflected in the proposals for our 2014 Annual General Meeting. We remain committed to providing clear and thorough disclosure on our executive compensation practices and actions, and our Compensation Committee will carefully consider the voting results. At our 2013 Annual General Meeting, shareholders demonstrated strong support for the compensation of our named executive officers, voting in favor of our advisory compensation resolutions. The Compensation Committee was mindful of this support for our pay-for-performance compensation philosophy in retaining our general compensation practices and setting fiscal year 2014 compensation for our executive officers. NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS In this Compensation Report, we refer to our “named executive officers” in many places. This term includes the following individuals: • • • Guerrino De Luca, our Chairman. Bracken P. Darrell, our President and Chief Executive Officer. Vincent Pilette, our Chief Financial Officer. • Marcel Stolk, our Senior Vice President, CCP Business Group. • L. Joseph Sullivan, our Senior Vice President, Worldwide Operations. Former Officers: • Erik K. Bardman, former Senior Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer of Logitech at the beginning of fiscal year 2014. • Michael Doktorczyk, former interim Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer. Mr. Bardman resigned his employment with us effective as of April 26, 2013. Mr. Doktorczyk assumed the positions of Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer on May 29, 2013 and served in such capacity until September 3, 2013. Because the compensation decisions for Messrs. Bardman and Doktorczyk were not made in the same manner as those of the other named executive officers, they are described separately at the end of this compensation report under the heading “Former Officers for fiscal year 2014” and any references to named executive officer or executive officer in other portions of this compensation report should be read as to not include them. DETERMINING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Role of the Compensation Committee and Independent Compensation Consultant The Compensation Committee reviews and approves our compensation programs, including the specific compensation of our Chairman, our Chief Executive Officer, and our other executive officers. Under the Compensation Committee’s charter, the Committee has the authority to engage its own advisors (including compensation consultants) to assist it in carrying out its responsibilities. Since 2011 the Committee has retained Radford, an Aon Hewitt company, to provide analysis, advice, and guidance with respect to executive compensation. At the request of the Committee, Radford developed specific executive compensation analyses and recommendations for Logitech’s Chairman, CEO, and executive officers for fiscal year 2014. For fiscal year 2014, at the request of the Compensation Committee, Radford provided advice and recommendations to the committee on competitiveness of executive officer compensation levels, the Company’s compensation peer group, goal metrics and bonus design, compensation mix between cash and equity, type of equity arrangements, employment contract 92 93 EnglishJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 94 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 95 OPERATOR JoyD provisions, executive severance packages, executive officer hiring packages, developments in high technology compensation programs, trends in executive compensation for the Silicon Valley and Europe, legislation and regulations affecting executive compensation in the United States and Switzerland, and the impact of the global economy on executive compensation and director compensation. Logitech paid fees of less than $100,000 to various divisions and subsidiaries of Aon Corporation for services not related to executive compensation consulting services. The majority of these additional services consisted of activities Radford or Aon Hewitt have provided to Logitech for several years, and include the purchase of Radford’s industry compensation surveys, the accounting valuations of equity grants, and the calculation of PSU grant performance. During fiscal year 2013, the SEC issued rules under the Dodd-Frank Act concerning compensation consultant independence. Under these rules the Compensation Committee must determine whether any work completed by a compensation consultant raised any conflict of interest after taking into account six independence- related factors. The Compensation Committee has reviewed these six factors as they apply to Radford and has concluded there is no conflict of interest. Role of Management in Compensation Decisions Management makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee with respect to both the design of compensation programs and specific compensation decisions. The Committee reviews the recommendations with its independent compensation consultant, deliberates and approves the executive officers’ compensation. The Committee does so independently without the presence of an executive officer during deliberations or decision making on his or her compensation. The fiscal year 2014 executive officer compensation proposals for base salary, bonus targets, and equity grant values were developed by Radford and presented to both the Compensation Committee and Logitech’s management. Based on the analysis performed by Radford, Logitech’s then-Vice President of Worldwide Human Resources and its compensation department, in consultation with Guerrino De Luca, Logitech’s Chairman, and Bracken Darrell, Logitech’s Chief Executive Officer, provided specific recommendations to the Compensation Committee. As part of the annual personnel review and succession planning process, Mr. Darrell also provided the Board and the Compensation Committee with his perspective on the performance of Logitech’s executive officers. This performance feedback provided additional input to the Committee when making its decisions on fiscal year 2014 compensation. Overview of Factors Considered by Committee The Compensation Committee considers a variety of factors when determining total executive compensation, including: • • • • • • Competitive considerations. Subjective elements, such as the scope of the executive’s role, experience and skills and the individual’s performance during the prior fiscal year and potential for future contribution to Logitech. The performance of Logitech in the prior fiscal year. The performance of Logitech in the prior fiscal year relative to the Company’s compensation peer group and the overall technology industry. Accrued and realized gains from past equity incentive awards. The need to retain key executives during Logitech’s challenging turnaround period. Competitive considerations Both peer group and broader industry compensation survey data is used by our Compensation Committee when setting Logitech’s executive compensation, as well as to assist the Compensation Committee in the evaluation of the design of bonus plan and equity compensation programs. 94 95 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 94 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 95 OPERATOR JoyD The companies in Logitech’s peer group were selected in February 2011, and are reviewed annually, in partnership with Radford Consulting, based on (i) involvement in the PC-based consumer electronics industry, or (ii) revenues approximately equal to Logitech’s and a presence near Silicon Valley in the San Francisco Bay Area. Although Logitech is a Swiss company, Logitech primarily competes for executive management talent with technology companies in the United States, and particularly in the high-technology area of Silicon Valley. As a result, the peer group consists primarily of U.S. public technology companies. For fiscal year 2014, the compensation peer group consisted of: Activision Blizzard, Inc. Agilent Technologies, Inc. Analog Devices, Inc. Autodesk, Inc. BMC Software, Inc. Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. Electronic Arts, Inc. Intuit, Inc. Lexmark International, Inc. NetApp, Inc. Nuance Communications, Inc. NVIDIA Corporation Plantronics Polycom, Inc. SanDisk Corporation Take-Two Interactive VeriFone Systems, Inc. At the time the fiscal year 2014 executive compensation review was performed, in March 2014, Logitech ranked at approximately the 31st percentile among the peer group for revenues, and lowest for market capitalization and for income. Nevertheless, the Compensation Committee believed at the time of the fiscal year 2014 compensation decisions that the compensation peer group was representative of the companies with which Logitech competed for talent and accordingly, against which Logitech should benchmark its compensation. 75th Percentile . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50th Percentile . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 25th Percentile . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In addition, to assist the Compensation Committee in its review of executive compensation, Logitech’s compensation department provides compensation data compiled from widely recognized high-technology executive compensation surveys. Effect of individual performance The differences in compensation among the individual named executive officers, as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table on page 109, were primarily related to market compensation in each position, based on compensation peer group and survey data, a subjective assessment of the executive’s impact on the Company’s past and future performance, succession planning, and retention. Other factors For new-hire executives, in addition to market compensation for the position, consideration is given to the base salary of the individual at his or her prior employment, any unique personal circumstances that motivated the executive to leave that prior position and join Logitech, the Company’s needs and the perceived competitive environments in recruiting the executive. Timing of compensation decisions Executive compensation (base salary, target bonus, and equity grants) is typically reviewed and actions are taken at the start of the fiscal year in order to align all compensation actions, and the related performance periods, with the fiscal year or multiple fiscal years. The Compensation Committee may also make executive compensation decisions at other times during the fiscal year in the event of an executive new hire or promotion or other reasons. 94 95 EnglishJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 96 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 97 OPERATOR JoyD ELEMENTS OF COMPENSATION The following table outlines our objectives for each of the principal components of our executive compensation programs: Element of Compensation Base salary Objective • Reward individuals for their current contributions to the Company • Compensate individuals for their expected day-to-day service Performance-based cash compensation • Align executive performance goals compensation with Logitech’s annual • Make a significant portion of the executive’s annual cash the achievement of compensation variable and subject Board-approved, Company-oriented business goals to Long-term equity incentive awards • Deliver the majority of total potential compensation via long-term • Motivate and reward the executive for above-target performance equity incentives • Align executive and shareholder interests • Provide a direct incentive for future performance • Support pay for performance and retention of our executive team Our executive officers are also eligible to participate in the health and benefits plans, retirement savings plans, and our employee share purchase plans that are generally available to similarly-situated employees. We also provide limited perquisites, as described in “Other Compensation Elements – Perquisites” below. Pay Mix In determining how we allocate an executive’s total compensation package among base salary, performance- based cash compensation, and long-term equity incentives, we emphasize compensation elements that reward performance against measures that correlate closely with increases in shareholder value. Accordingly, the majority of our executive compensation is at-risk, including the annual performance-based cash bonus and the majority of our long-term equity incentive grants. Our CEO and other executive officers have a higher percentage of at-risk compensation (and thus greater upside potential and downside risk) relative to Logitech’s other employees. The charts below indicate the percentage of total compensation in fiscal year 2014 represented by base salary, performance-based cash compensation, and long-term equity incentive awards for our Chief Executive Officer, Bracken Darrell, and for all other named executive officers who remained executive officers through fiscal year 2014 as well as Vincent Pilette who joined the Company in the middle of the fiscal year. All underlying amounts are taken from the Summary Compensation Table on 109. We design our programs to have the largest portion of potential compensation to be based on long-term performance (equity), the next largest portion based on short-term performance (annual performance bonus), and the smallest portion as base salary. Our actual fiscal year 2014 pay mix reflects this design philosophy. While the pay mix for each executive officer varies based on individual circumstances, executive officers in the aggregate received approximately 15% of their annual compensation in base salary, 15% in annual bonus, and 70% in equity. 96 97 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 96 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 97 OPERATOR JoyD Bracken P.

Performance-based cash compensation Logitech’s annual performance-based bonuses, under the Logitech Management Performance Bonus Plan, “Bonus Plan”, compensate executives based on achievement against the key financial metrics of revenue and operating income, which are equally weighted. These metrics address both ‘‘top line’’ (revenue) and ‘‘bottom line’’ (operating income) corporate financial goals. In addition, for executive officers who are business group or regional leaders we factor in metrics with respect to their respective areas of responsibility, all of which the Committee believes are critical to driving long-term shareholder value. The Bonus Plan is designed to motivate and reward executives for above-target performance. The annual performance-based bonuses represent a significant portion of each executive’s potential annual cash compensation, ranging from 40% to 50% of annual targeted cash compensation. Payout under the incentive plan is variable, based on the achievement against Logitech’s financial goals, and for fiscal year 2014 can range from 0% to 200% of the executive’s target incentive. 96 97 EnglishJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 98 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 99 OPERATOR JoyD Named executive officer bonus targets for fiscal year 2014 In fiscal year 2014, the bonus targets as a percentage of base salary for our named executive officers remained the same as those in fiscal year 2013.

The use of PSUs with vesting tied to performance against the NASDAQ-100 Index is a return to the Company’s practice from fiscal year 2012. In the Committee’s view, the return to the use of PSUs is consistent with industry practice. PSUs. Sixty percent (60%) of the value at grant (based on the assumptions used for financial account purposes) of the fiscal year 2014 equity awards were in the form of PSUs. The PSUs are “at-risk” compensation because Logitech’s relative total shareholder return performance must be at or above the minimum threshold percentile against the NASDAQ-100 Index over the performance period of three years in order for the executive to receive any shares from the PSU grant. If, at the end of the performance period, threshold performance is achieved, the number of shares in which the executive officer vests is pro-rated according to performance. The performance measure for the performance-based restricted stock units granted in fiscal year 2014 is the relative total shareholder return, or TSR, expressed as a percentile rank, of Logitech shares against the TSR of companies included in the NASDAQ-100 Index. The Compensation Committee believes this measure is a key reflection of Logitech’s operational and financial performance, because it focuses on relative performance against other mid- to large-size technology companies. For purposes of the PSUs, relative TSR reflects (i) the aggregate change in the 30-day average closing of Logitech shares against the companies in the NASDAQ-100 Index, and (ii) the value (if any) returned to shareholders in the form of dividends or similar distributions, assumed to be reinvested in shares when paid, each at the beginning and the end of a three-year performance period. The structure of the PSUs granted in fiscal year 2014 is summarized in the table below: PSU Grants Made On or After April 2013: Percentile Rank of Logitech TSR Against NASDAQ—100 Index TSR Below 30th Percentile Rank (threshold) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30th Percentile Rank . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 60th Percentile Rank (target) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 75th Percentile Rank and Above . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Percentage of Shares that Vest Under PSU 0% 50% 100% 150% The Compensation Committee utilizes PSUs for executive officers to align Logitech’s equity compensation for executives more closely with the interests of shareholders. The PSUs are also intended to: • • • • • Link compensation to key financial metrics of growth and profitability. Provide vesting based on Logitech’s stock price performance relative to a benchmark (in this case the NASDAQ-100 Index). Require strong performance for target or any substantial vesting to occur, and provide an extraordinary payout if Logitech’s performance significantly exceeds that of the benchmark group. Support pay-for-performance philosophy and retention efforts. Be less dilutive to shareholders than stock options. RSUs. Forty percent (40%) of the value of the fiscal year 2014 focal equity awards was granted in the form of restricted stock units.

The Compensation Committee believes RSUs create incentives for performance and further align the interests of executives with those of shareholders because an RSU’s value increases or decreases in conjunction with the Company’s stock price. Because the value at grant of RSUs is generally greater than that of stock options, we are able to grant a smaller number of RSUs while delivering similar grant-date award value. As a result, granting RSUs helps minimize the dilutive effects of our equity awards on our shareholders and, in the Committee’s view, provides a more cost-effective balance of incentive and risk than standard stock options. Long-term equity incentive awards granted in fiscal year 2014 For fiscal year 2014, management recommended and the Compensation Committee approved long-term incentive grant values for each named executive officer at approximately the 25th percentiles of grant values for comparable executives at our compensation peer group companies. Based on the poor performance in the previous fiscal year, the Compensation Committee determined that our executive officers must build Logitech’s value at a rate greater than the overall market to receive equity values in line with those of our compensation peer group companies. For our executives to earn market levels of equity value, Logitech would have to outperform the market in terms of stock price appreciation. The Compensation Committee also made judgments on the performance and relative impact of each executive officer and the importance of retaining each executive through the coming year and beyond. Grants were made to the executive officers as follows: Grants to Mr. De Luca. On April 15, 2013, Mr. De Luca received a PSU grant for 30,000 shares, assuming 100% target performance, and an RSU grant of 20,000 shares, as part of his fiscal year 2014 annual compensation as Chairman. In addition, Mr. De Luca received an RSU grant of 250,000 shares in recognition for his service as Logitech’s acting Chief Executive Officer from July 2011 through January 2013 as noted below under Other Compensation. Grants to Mr. Darrell. On April 15, 2013, as part of the annual executive compensation review, Mr. Darrell received a PSU grant for 270,000 shares at target, and an RSU grant of 177,000 shares. Grants to Other Executive Officers. The equity incentive award grants made to all Logitech executive officers during fiscal year 2014 are set out in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2014 table on 112. • • The following table illustrates the grant date fair values, which is the accounting cost to Logitech, of the equity awards that each executive officer received in fiscal year 2014 and 2013. The grant date fair values in fiscal year 2014 decreased from those in fiscal year 2013 (except for Mr. De Luca due to the special grant described above) due to the fiscal year 2014 grant values being set at approximately the 25th percentile of our compensation peer group, compared to the fiscal year 2013 grant values that were slightly below the 50th percentile of our compensation peer group. The table also illustrates the total shares underlying the equity awards that each executive officer received in fiscal year 2014 and 2013.

The actual equity award value delivered to each named executive officer may be considerably lower or higher than the grant date fair value of the award. The actual equity award value delivered depends on, in the case of performance-based awards such as PSUs, whether or not the minimum performance condition is met, and, if so, the level of performance. Actual equity award value delivered also is significantly impacted by appreciation or depreciation in Logitech’s share price between the grant and vesting dates. (2) Mr. De Luca received an RSU grant of 20,000 shares, as part of his fiscal year 2014 annual compensation as Chairman as well as an RSU grant of 250,000 shares in recognition for his service as Logitech’s acting Chief Executive Officer from July 2011 through January 2013 as noted below under Other Compensation. (3) Mr. Pilette joined the Company as Chief Financial Officer on September 3, 2013. Determination of long-term equity incentive awards The Compensation Committee is responsible for approving who should receive equity incentive awards, when the awards should be made, the vesting schedule, and the number of shares or other rights to be granted. Long-term equity incentive awards may be granted only by the Compensation Committee or the full Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee regularly reports its activity, including approvals of grants, to the Board. 102 103 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 102 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 103 OPERATOR JoyD Timing of grants Long-term equity incentive award grants to executive officers are typically and predominantly approved at regularly scheduled, predetermined meetings of the Compensation Committee. These meeting are scheduled up to 18 months in advance and take place before the regularly scheduled, predetermined meetings of the full Board. On limited occasions, grants may be approved at an interim meeting of the Compensation Committee or by consent, for the purpose of approving the hiring and compensation package for newly hired or promoted executives. In fiscal year 2014, grants were made to new hires and promoted employees, including those at the executive officer level, through regularly scheduled monthly written consents of the Compensation Committee. We do not have any program, plan, or practice to select equity compensation grant dates in coordination with the release of material non-public information, nor do we time the release of information for the purpose of affecting value. We do not backdate options or grant options retroactively. OTHER COMPENSATION ELEMENTS Other compensation On September 4, 2013, the Compensation Committee granted a cash bonus of $460,000 and an RSU grant of 250,000 shares to Mr. De Luca in recognition for his service as Logitech’s acting Chief Executive Officer from July 2011 through January 2013. The Compensation Committee set a two-year vesting term and provided for acceleration in case Mr. De Luca was involuntarily removed from his role as Chairman. Mr. De Luca’s compensation had not been adjusted since he assumed these additional responsibilities. After almost a year of deliberations on the appropriate method of such recognition, this special bonus was based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant and a comparison of Mr. De Luca’s compensation during his tenure as acting Chief Executive Officer to the Company’s peer group. Deferred compensation plan Executive officers based in the United States are also eligible to participate in the Logitech Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan and a predecessor plan, which are unfunded and unsecured plans that allow employees of Logitech Inc., the Logitech subsidiary in the United States, who earn more than a threshold amount the opportunity to defer U.S. taxes on up to 80% of their base salary and up to 90% of their bonus or commission compensation. Under the plan, compensation may be deferred until termination of employment or other specified dates chosen by the participants, and deferred amounts are credited with earnings based on investment benchmarks chosen by the participants from a number of mutual funds selected by Logitech Inc.’s Deferred Compensation Committee. The earnings credited to the participants are intended to be funded solely by the plan investments. Logitech does not make contributions to this plan. Information regarding named executive officer participation in the deferred compensation plans can be found in the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation for Fiscal Year 2014 table and the accompanying narrative. Because the listed officers do not receive preferential or above-market rates of return under the deferred compensation plan, earnings under the plan are not included in the Summary Compensation table, but are included in the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation table. Severance and related benefits All named executive officers are eligible to receive benefits under certain conditions in accordance with Logitech’s Change of Control Severance Agreement (Change of Control Agreement), as described in the section “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.” 102 103 EnglishJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 104 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 105 OPERATOR JoyD The purpose of the Change of Control Agreements is to support retention in the event of a prospective change of control. Should a change of control occur, benefits will be paid after a “double trigger” event – meaning that there has been both a change of control, and the executive is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason within 12 months thereafter – as described in “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control”. The RSU and PSU award agreements for executive officers other than Guerrino De Luca provide for the acceleration of vesting of the RSUs and PSUs subject to the award agreements under the same circumstances and conditions as under the Change of Control Agreements; namely, if the named executive officer is subject to an involuntary termination within 12 months after a change of control because his or her employment is terminated without cause or the executive resigns for good reason (a “double trigger”). In the event of such an involuntary termination: • • All shares subject to the RSUs will vest. 100% of the shares subject to the PSUs will vest if the change of control occurred within 1 year after the grant date of the PSUs. If the change of control occurs more than 1 year after the grant date of the PSUs, the number of shares subject to the PSU that will vest will be determined by applying the performance criteria under the PSUs as if the performance period had ended on the date of the change of control. To determine the level of benefits to be provided under each change of control agreement and other agreements, the Committee considered the circumstances of each type of severance, the impact on shareholders, and market practices. Logitech does not provide any payments to reimburse its executive officers for additional taxes incurred (also known as “gross-ups”) in connection with a change of control. These Agreements are being reviewed by the Compensation Committee with respect to complying with the Ordinance Against Excessive Compensation in connection with the Minder initiative under Swiss law. Under Mr. Pilette’s employment agreement, if his employment is involuntarily terminated without cause or he resigns for good reason, other than after a change of control, he is entitled to his base salary and target bonus for one year and accelerated vesting of a portion of his new hire RSU grant of 175,000 shares (as of September 15, 2014, 116,666 shares from this grant remain unvested), and, if he is terminated within his first year of employment, accelerated vesting of his entire restricted stock unit grant for 195,000 shares (as of September 15, 2014, this grant was completely vested). The terms in Mr. Pilette’s agreement are intended to provide consideration for his service to Logitech and the potential length of time until subsequent employment is secured if he is involuntarily terminated without cause or resigns for good reason. The Compensation Committee believes that the terms of Mr. Pilette’s severance are consistent with those of chief financial officers in our compensation peer group as well as the overall technology industry. Perquisites Logitech’s executive officer benefit programs are substantially the same as for all other eligible employees. Other Benefits Logitech’s executive officers are eligible to receive the same benefits as all similarly-situated employees, including the following: • • • Company contributions to retirement programs are based on the location of employing company, such as the Logitech Inc. 401(k) in the United States and the Logitech Employee Pension Fund in Switzerland. Health, welfare, and life insurance benefits. Opportunity for participation in the Logitech Employee Share Purchase Plans. 104 105 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 104 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 105 OPERATOR JoyD VINCENT PILETTE’S NEW HIRE PACKAGE In September 2013, Mr. Pilette joined Logitech as Chief Financial Officer. When establishing Mr. Pilette’s compensation package, the Compensation Committee based its decisions on competitive market data for chief financial officer positions provided by the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant, as well as the compensation and benefits package Mr. Pilette had with his previous employer and the Compensation Committee’s perception of what was required to secure and maintain his employment. The Compensation Committee positioned Mr. Pilette’s target cash compensation package at the 50th percentile of the market for chief financial officers. Mr. Pilette’s base salary is $500,000 and his annual bonus target percentage is 80%. Mr. Pilette’s equity package consisted of (i) 175,000 RSUs to provide a meaningful upside for success in managing costs to provide for profitability and operating leverage (as of September 15, 2014, 116,666 shares from this grant remain unvested); (ii) 195,000 RSUs to offset a portion of the earned, but unvested long-term incentives Mr. Pilette lost when leaving his former employer (this grant is fully vested); (iii) 147,500 performance stock units, or PSUs, that vest when Logitech’s average closing price per share on the Nasdaq Global Select Market over a 90 calendar day period meets or exceeds $12.00 (this grant is fully vested); and (iv) 147,500 performance stock units, or PSUs, that vest when Logitech’s average closing price per share on the Nasdaq Global Select Market over a 90 calendar day period meets or exceeds $14.00 (this grant is fully vested). FORMER OFFICERS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2014 Erik K. Bardman, Former Senior Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer Mr. Bardman resigned his employment with us effective as of April 26, 2013. He was only with the Company for the first three weeks of fiscal year 2014 and was paid a base salary of $38,462 for his service during the period based on an annual base salary of $484,000. Upon Mr. Bardman’s termination of employment, he received $57,694 as payment for the value of his accrued but unused Personal Time Off Leave balance. In addition, Mr. Bardman received a 401(k) match of $5,063 and premiums of $201 were paid on his behalf for Group Term Life Insurance. Michael Doktorczyk, Former Interim Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer Mr. Doktorczyk served as interim Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer from May 29, 2013 until September 3, 2013. Mr. Doktorczyk was the Company’s Vice President of Finance and Corporate Controller throughout fiscal year 2014, but he was not an executive officer. As a result, the Compensation Committee was not responsible for determining Mr. Doktorczyk’s fiscal year 2014 compensation. For fiscal year 2014 his base salary was $255,555, and he received an annual incentive plan bonus of $60,504. In addition, Mr. Doktorczyk was granted a stock award valued at $69,109. Because Mr. Doktorczyk was not an executive officer, he was not eligible to participate in any of the compensation programs for our other named executive officers that are set forth above. Mr. Doktorczyk’s compensation was not influenced by his interim roles.

Under the terms of the policy we may recover bonus amounts, equity awards or other incentive compensation awarded or paid within the prior three years to a covered officer if the Compensation Committee determines the compensation was based on any performance goals that were met or exceeded as a result, in whole or in part, of the officer’s fraud or misconduct, or the officer knew at the time of the existence of fraud or misconduct that resulted in performance goals being met or exceeded, and a lower amount would otherwise have been awarded or paid to the officer. In addition, under the policy Logitech may recover gains realized on the exercise of stock options or on the sale of vested shares by an executive officer or the principal accounting officer if, within three years after the date of the gains or sales, Logitech discloses the need for a significant financial restatement, other than a financial restatement solely because of revisions to US GAAP, and the Compensation Committee determines that the officer’s fraud or misconduct caused or partially caused the need for the restatement, or the covered officer knew at the time of the existence of fraud or misconduct that resulted in the need for such restatement. In addition, our 2006 Stock Incentive Plan and our Management Performance Bonus Plan provide that awards under the plans are suspended or forfeited if the plan participant, whether or not an executive officer: • • • has committed an act of embezzlement, fraud or breach of fiduciary duty; makes an unauthorized disclosure of any Logitech trade secret or confidential information; or induces any customer to breach a contract with Logitech. Any decision to suspend or cause a forfeiture of any award held by an executive officer under the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan or the Management Performance Bonus Plan is subject to the approval of the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee will amend the policy, as necessary, to comply with the final SEC rules regarding the recoupment policies of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Additional tax and accounting considerations U.S. Tax Code Section 162(m) Favorable accounting and tax treatment of the various elements of our compensation program is a relevant consideration in their design. However, the Company and the Committee have placed a higher priority on structuring flexible compensation programs to promote the recruitment, retention, and performance of our officers than on maximizing tax deductibility. Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”), places a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount of compensation that Logitech may deduct in any one year with respect to certain executive officers. The Committee has the ability through the use of Logitech International S.A. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan to grant awards that qualify as “performance-based compensation” exempt from that $1,000,000 limitation but, to maintain flexibility in compensating executive officers in a manner designed to promote varying corporate goals, the Committee has not adopted a policy requiring all compensation to be deductible, and has in the past and will in the future make grants of compensation that do not qualify to be exempt from the $1,000,000 limitation when it believes that it is appropriate to meet its compensation objectives. In addition to considering the tax consequences, the Compensation Committee considers the accounting consequences, including the impact of the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Section 718, on its decisions in determining the forms of different equity awards. 106 107 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 106 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 107 OPERATOR JoyD Compensation Risks Assessment Since March 2010, the Compensation Committee has conducted an annual review, with the assistance of the Committee’s independent compensation consultant; of Logitech’s compensation programs to assess the risks associated with their design and associated risk controls.

NARRATIVE DISCLOSURE TO SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE AND GRANTS OF PLAN-BASED AWARDS TABLE Employment Agreements and Offer Letters We have entered into employment agreements or offer letters with each of our named executive officers. The employment agreements and offer letters generally provide that the compensation of the named executive officer is subject to the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors. Other than Mr. Pilette’s compensation as a new hire, the compensation earned by the named executive officers in fiscal year 2014 was not the result of any terms of their employment agreements or offer letters. Performance-Based Vesting Conditions Please refer to “Compensation Disclosure and Analysis—Elements of Compensation—Performance-based cash incentive awards” for a discussion of the performance measures applicable to the Bonus Plan during fiscal year 2014. In addition, please refer to “Compensation Disclosure and Analysis—Elements of Compensation— Long-term equity incentive awards” for a discussion of performance measures under the PSUs granted to executive officers during fiscal year 2014. OUTSTANDING EQUITY AWARDS AT FISCAL YEAR-END The following table provides information regarding outstanding equity awards for each of our named executive officers as of March 31, 2014. This table includes unexercised and unvested stock options, unexercised and unvested performance stock options, unvested PSUs, and unvested RSUs. Unless otherwise specified, options and RSUs vest at a rate of 25% per year on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. Market value for stock options, including Premium Priced Option or PPOs and PSOs, is calculated by taking the difference between the closing price of Logitech shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the last trading day of the fiscal year ($14.89 on March 31, 2014) and the option exercise price, and multiplying it by the number of outstanding options. Market value for stock awards (RSUs and PSUs) is determined by multiplying the number of shares by the closing price of Logitech shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the last trading day of the fiscal year. 112 113 EnglishJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 114 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 115 OPERATOR JoyD Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal 2014 Year-End Option Awards Stock Awards Name Guerrino De Luca . . . .

U.S. Deferred Compensation Plan effective January 1, 2009. PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL We have entered into agreements that provide for payments under certain circumstances in the event of termination of employment of our executive officers. These agreements include: • • • • Change of control severance agreements, under which an executive officer may receive certain benefits if he or she is subject to an involuntary termination within 12 months after a “change of control” because his or her employment is terminated without cause or because the executive resigns for good reason. PSU, RSU, and PSO award agreements that provide for the accelerated vesting of the shares subject to the award agreements under certain circumstances, including the same circumstances as under the change of control agreements. Offer letters with Bracken Darrell and Vincent Pilette, under which they are entitled to severance benefits if we terminate their employment without cause or if they resign for good reason. An employment agreement with Marcel Stolk, under which he is entitled to receive a three-month notice period if we terminate his employment or if he resigns. These agreements are described in more detail in the subsections below. Other than the agreements above, there are no agreements or arrangements for the payment of severance to a named executive officer in the event of his involuntary termination with or without cause. In fiscal year 2014, Mr. De Luca was awarded an RSU grant of 250,000 shares in recognition of his service as Logitech’s acting Chief Executive Officer from July 2011 through January 2013. Given that the award was based on past service, if Mr. De Luca’s service with the Company terminates by reason of death or disability or if Mr. De Luca ceases to be Chairman of the Board at the request or upon action of the Board or by action of the Company’s shareholders or is not re-elected to the Board, all then unvested RSUs under the award will vest immediately. 116 117 EnglishJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 118 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 119 OPERATOR JoyD There are no agreements providing for payment of any consideration to any non-executive member of the Board of Directors upon termination of his or her services with the Company. Change of Control Severance Agreements Each of our executive officers has executed a change of control severance agreement with Logitech. The change of control agreements with Mr. De Luca and Mr. Pilette are slightly different than those of the other executive officers. The purpose of the change of control agreements is to support retention in the event of a prospective change of control. Under the change of control agreement, each executive officer is eligible to receive the following benefits, should the executive officer be subject to an involuntary termination within 12 months after a “change of control” because his or her employment is terminated without cause or the executive resigns for good reason: • • • • • The continuation of the executive’s “current compensation” for 12 months (except in the case of Mr. Pilette, which is 18 months if he is terminated or resigns for good reason in the first two years of his employment); Continuation of health insurance benefits for up to 12 months; Acceleration of vesting for all stock options held by the executive; Acceleration of other employee equity incentives held by the executive if provided for under the terms of the grant agreement for the equity incentive; and Executive – level outplacement services of a value of up to $5,000. The term “current compensation” includes: • • The greater of (i) the executive’s annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the executive’s termination and (ii) the executive’s annual base salary in effect on the date of the Change of Control Agreement; plus The amount of the executive’s annual bonuses for the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which severance benefits become payable to the executive. The change of control agreement defines the term “change of control” to mean: • • • • A merger or consolidation of Logitech with another corporation resulting in a greater than 50% change in the total voting power of Logitech or the surviving company immediately following the transaction; The complete liquidation of Logitech; The sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of Logitech’s assets; or The acquisition by any person of securities of Logitech representing 50% or more of the total voting power of Logitech’s outstanding shares. The change of control agreement with Mr. De Luca is the same as for the other executive officers, except that only those stock options granted by the Company to him before January 28, 2008, while he was serving as Chief Executive Officer, are subject to acceleration under the agreement. Options granted to him after January 28, 2008 are not subject to acceleration. The change of control agreement with Mr. Pilette is the same as for the other executive officers, except that (i) the continuation of the executive’s “current compensation” is for 18 months if Mr. Pilette’s employment is terminated following a change of control during the first two years of his employment, and (ii) current compensation is based on base salary and annual target bonus. 118 119 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 118 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 119 OPERATOR JoyD PSO Award Agreements The PSO award agreements from named executive officers provide for the acceleration of the time-based vesting of the PSOs subject to the award agreements if the named executive officer resigns for good reason with 12 months after a change of control. In addition, the PSO award agreements for named executive officers, including Mr. De Luca, provide for the acceleration of the time-based vesting of the PSOs if the named executive officer is terminated for any reason other than cause or resigns for good reason within 12 months after a change of control. In any case, the PSO award agreements will not vest except to the extent that the performance-based vesting conditions have been attained. PSU and RSU Award Agreements The PSU and RSU award agreements for named executive officers other than Mr. De Luca provide for the acceleration of vesting of the RSUs and PSUs subject to the award agreements under the same circumstances and conditions as under the change of control agreements; namely, if the named executive officer is subject to an involuntary termination within 12 months after a change of control because his or her employment is terminated without cause or the executive resigns for good reason. In the event of such an involuntary termination: • • All shares subject to the RSUs will vest. 100% of the shares subject to the PSUs will vest if the change of control occurred within one year after the grant date of the PSUs. If the change of control occurred more than one year after the grant date of the PSUs, the number of shares subject to the PSU that will vest will be determined by applying the performance criteria under the PSUs as if the performance period had ended on the date of the change of control. Bracken Darrell Offer Letter We entered into an offer letter with Bracken Darrell dated March 13, 2012. Under his offer letter, in the event he is terminated without “cause” or resigns (within 30 days after Logitech fails to remedy the condition reported to be good reason during a 30-day cure period) for good reason, other than after a change of control, he is entitled to receive severance benefits as follows: • • If the termination had occurred within one year after his employment start date (note that, as of April 9, 2013, the one-year anniversary of his employment start date, Mr. Darrell is no longer entitled to these benefits), he would have been entitled to: ▪ ▪ ▪ an amount equal to 200% of his then-current annual base salary, less applicable withholdings; plus an amount equal to 200% of his then-current annual targeted bonus amount, less applicable withholdings; plus 25% of his initial stock option grant for 500,000 Logitech shares and 25% of his initial restricted stock unit grant for 100,000 shares will accelerate and vest. If the termination had occurred more than one year but within two years after his employment start date (note that, as of April 9, 2014, the two-year anniversary, Mr. Darrell is no longer entitled to these benefits), he would have been entitled to: ▪ ▪ an amount equal to 150% of his then-current annual base salary, less applicable withholdings; plus an amount equal to 150% of his then-current annual targeted bonus amount, less applicable withholdings. • If the termination occurs more than two years after his employment start date, he is entitled to: ▪ ▪ an amount equal to 100% of his then-current annual base salary, less applicable withholdings; plus an amount equal to 100% of his then-current annual targeted bonus amount, less applicable withholdings. 118 119 EnglishJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 120 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 121 OPERATOR JoyD In each case, Mr. Darrell would also be entitled to have Logitech pay the premiums to continue his group health insurance coverage under COBRA during the applicable severance period, subject to any maximum length of coverage limits under applicable law or until he becomes eligible for benefits from a subsequent employer. “Cause” in Mr. Darrell’s offer letter is defined as: (i) theft, dishonesty, misconduct or falsification of any employment or Logitech records; (ii) improper disclosure of Logitech’s confidential or proprietary information; (iii) failure or inability to perform any assigned duties after written notice from Logitech of, and a reasonable opportunity to cure, such failure or inability; (iv) conviction (including any plea of guilty or no contest) of a felony, or of any other criminal act if that act impairs his ability to perform his duties; or (v) failure to cooperate in good faith with a governmental or internal investigation of Logitech or its directors, officers or employees, if Logitech has requested his cooperation. “Good reason” in Mr. Darrell’s offer letter is defined as: (i) a material reduction of his authority, duties or responsibilities, or (ii) if, by January 31, 2013, he is not reporting directly to the Logitech International Board of Directors as Chief Executive Officer.

Tables of Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control The table below estimates the amount of compensation that would be paid in the event of an involuntary termination of a listed executive officer without cause after a change in control, assuming that each of the terminations was effective as of March 31, 2014, subject to the terms of the change of control agreement and the terms of the PSO, PSU and RSU award agreements with each of the listed executive officers. For Mr. Darrell and Mr. Pilette, the additional table below estimates the amount of compensation that would have been paid in the event of an involuntary termination without cause, assuming that the termination was effective as of March 31, 2014, subject to the terms of the agreements with them. As of March 31, 2014, no compensation amounts were payable to any named executive officer in the event of a mutual agreement to terminate employment, whether upon retirement or otherwise. The price used for determining the value of accelerated equity in the tables below was the closing price of Logitech’s shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on March 31, 2014, the last business day of the fiscal year, of $14.89. For those unvested options held by Mr. De Luca that have exercise prices denominated in Swiss Francs, the U.S. Dollar equivalent of such exercise prices as of March 31, 2014 were calculated based on a Swiss Franc to U.S. Dollar exchange rate on March 31, 2014 of 1 to 1.13. 120 121 EnglishJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 122 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 123 OPERATOR JoyD Potential Payments Upon Involuntary Termination After Change in Control Name Guerrino De Luca . . . . .

The minimum performance conditions for two of the PSOs granted to Mr. Darrell on April 16, 2012 were not met as of March 31, 2014 therefore no value were attributed to the shares subject to such PSOs.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS For fiscal year 2014, the compensation of the members of the Board of Directors that are not Logitech employees, or non-employee directors, was established by the Committee for Board Compensation, which at the time consisted of Guerrino De Luca, our Chairman. For fiscal year 2015, the Committee for Board Compensation has been terminated, and the compensation of non-employee directors will be determined by the Compensation Committee, consisting entirely of independent directors, and recommended to the full Board for approval. The general policy is that compensation for non-employee directors should be a mix of cash and equity- based compensation. For fiscal year 2014, to assist the committee in its annual review of director compensation, Logitech’s compensation department provided director pay practices and compensation data compiled from the annual reports and proxy statements of companies within the NASDAQ 100 and technology companies generally considered comparable to Logitech. For fiscal year 2014, cash compensation of non-employee directors consists solely of annual retainers based on Board and committee service and payment for travel days in connection with Board meetings. Non-employee directors also receive an annual RSU grant based on a fixed market value. These grants vest on the one-year anniversary of Board service. For fiscal year 2014, the annual RSU grant value was adjusted from CHF 120,000 ($135,692) to CHF 135,000 ($152,654) to reflect increases in the market for board compensation. 122 123 EnglishJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 124 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 125 OPERATOR JoyD Directors who are Logitech employees do not receive any compensation for their service on the Board of Directors.

In 2010, Logitech began granting RSUs instead of stock options to continuing non-employee directors. The RSUs granted since fiscal year 2010 fully vest on approximately the one-year anniversary date of the grant. Market value for stock options is calculated by taking the difference between the closing price of Logitech shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the last trading day of the fiscal year ($14.89 on March 31, 2014) and the option exercise price, and multiplying it by the number of outstanding options. Market value for RSUs is determined by multiplying the number of shares by the closing price of Logitech shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the last trading day of the fiscal year. Certain of the options as granted have exercise prices denominated in Swiss Francs. The U.S. Dollar exercise price in the table below for such options is based on a Swiss Franc to U.S. Dollar exchange rate on March 31, 2014 of 1 to 1.13.

The plan for employees in the United States is named the 1996 Employee Share Purchase Plan (U.S.), or 1996 ESPP. The 1996 ESPP was the worldwide plan until the adoption of the 2006 ESPP in June 2006. Under both plans, eligible employees may purchase shares with up to 10% of their earnings at the lower of 85% of the fair market value at the beginning or the end of each six-month offering period. Purchases under the plans are limited to a fair value of $25,000 in any one year, calculated in accordance with U.S. tax laws. During each offering period, payroll deductions of employee participants are accumulated under the share purchase plan. Subject to continued participation in these plans, purchase agreements are automatically executed at the end of each offering period. A total of 29 million shares have been reserved for issuance under both the 1996 and 2006 ESPPs. As of March 31, 2014, a total of 8,266,700 shares were available for issuance under these plans. **************** 126 127 EnglishJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 128 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 129 OPERATOR JoyD APPENDIX A Proposed Changes to the Articles of Incorporation of Logitech International S.A.

The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, available at www.sec.gov, under the caption “Risk Factors” and elsewhere, and below in “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk”. Restatement and Revision of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements As we announced on May 21, 2014, the Audit Committee, with the assistance of independent advisors, began an independent investigation of certain accounting matters related to our previously issued financial statements. On September 3, 2014, we announced that, in connection with this investigation, the Audit Committee, on the recommendation of management, concluded that previously issued financial statements for fiscal years 2011 and 2012 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 could no longer be relied on due to an accounting misstatement for inventory valuation reserves for Logitech’s now-discontinued Revue product. As a result, we recorded an adjustment to increase cost of goods sold, and to increase inventory valuation reserves and the accrual for supplier liability for components related to our now discontinued Revue product by $30.7 million during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, and recorded a decrease to cost of goods sold by $34.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2011, and an increase to cost of goods sold by $3.4 million in the remainder of fiscal year 2012. As a result, net income and net income per share for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2011 was reduced by $30.7 million and $0.17 per share, respectively, with net income and net income per share in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increasing by $34.1 million and $0.19 per share, respectively, and net income and net income per share in the remainder of fiscal year 2012 decreasing by $3.4 million and $0.02 per share, respectively. In conjunction with recording of the adjustments related to this restatement, we recorded other immaterial corrections to the consolidated financial statements or financial information included in this Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010. For further discussion of the Audit Committee investigation, see Note 2, Restatement and Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II—Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. The Audit Committee has completed its independent investigation and found that, in connection with its quarterly close processes, up until June 2013, the finance organization would compile lists of financial items, which included significant accounting entries recorded during the quarter, late accounting entries, disclosure items and certain other items with potential accounting implications. The lists used to track these financial items appear to have been primarily shared within certain parts of the finance organization and were not shared with our independent registered public accounting firm. Typically, there were between approximately thirty to fifty items per quarter on these lists and there were multiple versions of these lists per quarter, as items were added, removed and changed. Some of the items on the list were discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm while others were not. As part of the independent investigation, it was determined that nine historical items from these lists during a five year period should have been recorded in an earlier period or a different amount should have been recorded. The largest item relates to the now-discontinued Revue product and is the cause for the restatement. Two items— the warranty accrual and the amortization of certain intangible assets—were on the lists in prior periods and were not addressed in a timely manner before we corrected them in our revised Form 10-K/A filed on August 7, 2013. Certain former finance employees signed the May 30, 2013 management representation letter to our independent registered public accounting firm without disclosing these issues and, as a result, the management representation letter was inaccurate on this point. Six items are not material individually or in aggregate to any of the annual or interim periods reported but are nevertheless being corrected in these restated consolidated financial statements. 145 JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.144OPERATORJoyD JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.143OPERATORJoyD <12345678>CleanANNUAL REPORTThere are two elements to the restatement related to the Revue product: (1) a lower of cost or market (“LCM”) charge based on the net realizable value of finished goods and work in process on-hand inventory and non- cancelable orders for such inventory, and (2) an excess and obsolescence charge for non-cancelable orders for inventory components. The Audit Committee found that certain former members of the finance organization had information that was not considered, that showed a future loss that was estimable and probable before the filing of the Form 10-K on May 27, 2011 and that such loss was not recorded in our fiscal year 2011 financial statements. Certain former members of the finance organization erroneously accounted for the LCM charge in fiscal year 2011 based on the current price or on price reductions instead of considering available contemporaneous evidence of anticipated future price reductions and losses which were estimable and probable at the time. In addition, the Audit Committee found that a management representation letter dated May 27, 2011 to our independent registered public accounting firm incorrectly stated that probable future pricing adjustments were considered in the LCM calculation. With respect to the Revue components, certain former members of the finance organization did not consider all available information and therefore did not record a charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 for non-cancelable orders related to components considered excess and obsolete. The analysis erroneously assumed the components would be manufactured into finished goods, though there was information available that showed that the components would not be manufactured into finished goods. This information was not reflected in our accounting or provided to our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee found that there was not an adequate basis for the historical accounting treatment of the components in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011. Overview of Our Company Logitech is a world leader in products that connect people to the digital experiences they care about. Spanning multiple computing, communication and entertainment platforms, we develop and market innovative hardware and software products that enable or enhance digital navigation, music and video entertainment, gaming, social networking and audio and video communication over the Internet. We have two reporting segments: peripherals and video conferencing. Our peripherals segment encompasses the design, manufacturing and marketing of peripherals for PCs, tablets and other digital platforms. Our products for home and business PCs include mice, trackballs, keyboards, interactive gaming controllers, multimedia speakers, headsets and webcams. Our tablet accessory products include keyboards, keyboard cases and covers, and smart phone accessories. Our Internet communications products include webcams, conference cams and headsets. Our digital music products include wireless speakers, earphones, and custom in-ear monitors. Our gaming products include mice, keyboards, headsets and gaming controllers. For home entertainment and home control systems, we offer the Harmony line of advanced remote controls. Since fiscal year 2013, we have been exiting other non-strategic products, such as speaker docks and headphones, and continue to evaluate non-strategic products as part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen our overall portfolio. Within our peripherals segment, we classify our retail product categories as growth, profit maximization, and non-strategic. Our growth product categories are: PC Gaming, Tablet & Other Accessories, and Mobile Speakers. Our profit maximization categories are: Pointing Devices, PC Keyboards & Desktops, Audio-PC & Wearables, Video, and Remotes. Our brand, portfolio management, product development and engineering teams in our peripherals segment are responsible for product strategy, technological innovation, product design and development and to bring our products to market. Our global marketing organization is responsible for developing and building the Logitech brand, consumer insights, public relations, social media and digital marketing. Our regional retail sales and marketing activities are organized into three geographic areas: Americas (North and South America), EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and Asia Pacific (including, among other countries, China, Taiwan, Japan and Australia). 146 147 JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.144OPERATORJoyD JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.145OPERATORJoyD <12345678>CleanWe sell our peripherals products to a network of retailers, including direct sales to retailers and indirect sales through distributors. Our worldwide retail network includes wholesale distributors, consumer electronics retailers, mass merchandisers, specialty electronics, computers and telecommunications stores, value-added resellers and online merchants. Sales of our retail peripherals were 88%, 87% and 86% of our net sales for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The large majority of our revenues have historically been derived from sales of our peripherals products for use by consumers. Our OEM customers include several of the world’s largest PC manufacturers. Sales to OEM customers were 6%, 7% and 8% of our net sales for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our video conferencing segment encompasses the design, manufacturing and marketing of Lifesize branded video conferencing products, infrastructure and services for the enterprise, public sector and other small to medium business markets. Video conferencing products include scalable high-definition, or HD, video communication endpoints, HD video conferencing systems with integrated monitors, video bridges, cloud-based video conferencing solution and other infrastructure software and hardware to support large-scale video deployments and services to support these products. The video conferencing segment maintains a separate marketing and sales organization, which sells Lifesize products and services worldwide. Video conferencing product development and product management organizations are separate, but coordinated with our peripherals business, particularly our Consumer Computing Platform group. We sell our video conferencing products and services to distributors, value-added resellers, OEMs and, occasionally, direct enterprise customers. Net sales of video conferencing products were 6%, 7% and 6% of our net sales in the fiscal year 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. During fiscal year 2013, we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $214.5 million related to our video conferencing reporting segment. We seek to fulfill the increasing demand for interfaces between people and the expanding digital world across multiple platforms and user environments. The interface evolves as platforms, user models and our target markets evolve. As access to digital information has expanded, we have extended our focus to mobile devices, the digital home, and the enterprise as access points to the Internet and the digital world. All of these platforms require interfaces that are customized according to how the devices are used. We believe that continued investment in product research and development is critical to creating the innovation required to strengthen our competitive advantage and to drive future sales growth. We are committed to identifying and meeting current and future consumer trends with new and improved product technologies, partnering with others where our strengths are complementary, as well as leveraging the value of the Logitech and Lifesize brands from a competitive, channel partner and consumer experience perspective. We believe that innovation, design and product quality are important to gaining market acceptance and maintaining market leadership. We have been expanding the categories of products we sell and entering new markets, such as the markets for mobile device accessories. As we do so, we are confronting new competitors, many of which have more experience in the categories or markets and have greater marketing resources and brand name recognition than we have. In addition, because of the continuing convergence of the markets for computing devices and consumer electronics, we expect greater competition in the future from well-established consumer electronics companies in our new categories as well as future ones we might enter. Many of these companies have greater financial, technical, sales, marketing and other resources than we have. The peripherals and video conferencing industries are intensely competitive. The peripherals industry is characterized by platform evolution, short product life cycles, continual performance enhancements, rapid adoption of technological and product advancements by competitors in our retail markets and price sensitivity in the OEM market. We experience aggressive price competition and other promotional activities from our primary competitors and from less-established brands, including brands owned by some retail customers known as house brands, in response to declining consumer demand in both mature retail and OEM markets. We may also encounter more competition if any of our competitors in one or more categories decide to enter other categories in which we currently operate. 146 147 JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.144OPERATORJoyD JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.143OPERATORJoyD <12345678>CleanANNUAL REPORTFrom time to time, we may seek to partner with, or acquire when appropriate, companies that have products, personnel, and technologies that complement our strategic direction. We continually review our product offerings and our strategic direction in light of our profitability targets, competitive conditions, changing consumer trends and the evolving nature of the interface between the consumer and the digital world. Summary of Financial Results Our total net sales for fiscal year 2014 increased 1% in comparison to fiscal year 2013. Increases in our retail sales were partially offset by decreases in video conferencing sales. Retail sales during fiscal year 2014 increased 2% and units sold decreased 3%, compared to fiscal year 2013. Retail sales increased 9% in Americas and 2% in Asia Pacific, partially offset by a decrease of 4% in EMEA. If foreign currency exchange rates had been the same in fiscal year 2014 and 2013, the percentage changes in our constant dollar retail sales would have been an increase of 1% for total retail sales, an increase of 9% in Americas, an increase of 6% in the Asia Pacific, and a decrease of 7% in the EMEA regions. OEM sales during fiscal year 2014 remained flat, compared to fiscal year 2013, with OEM sales of $141.7 million during fiscal year 2014. OEM units sold remained flat during fiscal year 2014, compared to fiscal year 2013. Sales of Lifesize video conferencing products, which were 6% of total net sales during fiscal year 2014, decreased 12% during fiscal year 2014, compared to fiscal year 2013, due to a combination of a changing industry landscape caused by a shift to less expensive, cloud-based video conferencing solutions and, an evolving Lifesize product line. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, we implemented a comprehensive restructuring at Lifesize as part of our efforts to reposition the business and achieve profitability by the end of fiscal year 2014. This restructuring included reduction in staffing as well as an exit from non-strategic product lines. This restructuring resulted in a return to profitability in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 before charges for amortization of intangible assets, share based compensation, and restructuring. During fiscal year 2013, we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $214.5 million related to our video conferencing reporting segment. Our gross margin for fiscal year 2014 increased to 34.2%, compared to 33.8% for fiscal year 2013. The increase in gross margin primarily resulted from cost improvements in some of our PC-related categories and from actions we took during fiscal year 2013 to streamline our product portfolio. Operating expenses for fiscal year 2014 were 30.6% of net sales, compared to 45.8% for fiscal year 2013. The decrease in total operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to a $216.7 million impairment charge of goodwill and other assets during fiscal year 2013 and decreases of $29.9 million in restructuring charges and $52.1 million in marketing and selling expenses due to headcount reductions as a result of restructuring and lower sales and marketing investment in primarily music products. Net income for fiscal year 2014 was $74.3 million, compared to a net loss of $227.5 million for fiscal year 2013. This improvement primarily resulted from a $216.7 million impairment charge of goodwill and other assets related to our Lifesize business during fiscal year 2013 and decreases of $29.9 million in restructuring charges and $52.1million in marketing and selling expenses, partially offset by a shift from a $25.8 million benefit from income taxes for fiscal year 2013 to a $3.3 million provision for income taxes for fiscal year 2014. Trends in Our Business Our sales of PC peripherals for use by consumers in Americas and Europe have historically made up the large majority of our revenues. In the last several years, the PC market has changed dramatically and there continues to be significant weakness in the global market for new PCs. This weakness had a negative impact on our net sales in all of our PC-related categories. We believe that this weakness reflects the growing popularity of tablets and smartphones as mobile computing devices. 148 149 JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.144OPERATORJoyD JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.145OPERATORJoyD <12345678>CleanWe believe our future growth will be determined by our ability to rapidly create innovative products across multiple digital platforms, especially for PC Gaming and accessories for mobility-related products, including tablets, smartphones, Gaming and other mobile devices and for digital music, including wireless speakers, to limit and offset the decline in our PC peripherals. We pursue growth opportunities in emerging markets, mobility-related products, products for digital music and enterprise markets. The following discussion represents key trends specific to each of our two operating segments, peripherals and video conferencing. Trends Specific to our Peripherals Segment PC Peripherals: Although the installed base of PC users is large, consumer demand for new PCs has declined in recent years, and we believe it will continue to decline in future years. As a consequence, consumer demand for PC peripherals is slowing, or in some cases declining. As the quality of PC-embedded webcams improves along with the increasing popularity of tablets and smartphones with embedded webcams, we expect future sales of our PC-connected webcams will continue to be weak (or continue to decline on a year over year basis). The PC Gaming platform continues to show strong growth as online gaming and multi-platform experiences gain greater popularity and gaming content becomes increasingly more demanding. We believe Logitech is well positioned to benefit from the PC Gaming market growth. Enterprise Market. We are continuing our efforts to create and sell products and services to enterprises. For example, we have introduced the Logitech ConferenceCam CC3000e video conference solution designed for small to medium conference rooms. Growing our enterprise peripherals business will continue to require investment in selected business-specific products, targeted product marketing, and sales channel development. Tablets and Other Accessories. The increasing popularity of smaller, mobile computing devices, such as tablets with touch interfaces, have created new markets and usage models for peripherals and accessories. During fiscal year 2014, we continued to expand and leverage our success in this category through the introductions of keyboard folios for the iPad and iPad mini, and keyboard covers and folios for the iPad Air. During this time, we also introduced keyboard folios for the Samsung Galaxy tablet as well as the Wired Keyboard for the iPad, designed primarily for use in the classroom. Mobile Speakers. We believe that digital music, the seamless consumption of digital audio content on mobile devices, presents a growth opportunity for us. Many consumers listen to music as a popular entertainment activity, fueled by the growth in smart phones, tablets, music services and Internet radio. We believe we have a solid foundation of audio speaker solutions to satisfy consumers’ needs for music consumption, in the digital music speaker space. We continue to invest in the UE brand and introduce innovative new products in this category such as UE BOOM, a wireless speaker with 360-degree stereo sound. OEM Business. Sales of our OEM mice and keyboards have historically made up the bulk of our OEM sales. In recent years, there has been a dramatic shift away from desktop PCs and there continues to be significant weakness in the global market for PCs, which has adversely affected our sales of OEM mice and keyboards, all of which are sold with name-brand desktop PCs. We expect this trend to continue and for OEM sales to comprise a smaller percentage of our total sales in the future. Trends in Non-Strategic Peripherals Product Categories. Some of our other peripherals product categories are experiencing significant market challenges. During the quarter ended December 31, 2012, we identified a number of product categories that no longer fit with our strategic direction at that time. We will continue to evaluate our product offerings and will exit those which no longer support our strategic direction. 148 149 JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.144OPERATORJoyD JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.143OPERATORJoyD <12345678>CleanANNUAL REPORTTrends Specific to our Video Conferencing Segment The trend among businesses and institutions to use video conferencing offers a long-term growth opportunity for us. However, the overall video conferencing industry has experienced a slowdown in recent quarters. In addition, there has been an increase in the competitive environment. This situation resulted in a $214.5 million goodwill impairment charge in fiscal year 2013. During the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, we implemented restructuring plans affecting our video conferencing operating segment to align its organization to its strategic priorities of increasing focus on a tighter range of products, expanding cloud-based video conferencing services and improving profitability. We believe the growth in our video conferencing segment depends in part on our ability to increase sales to enterprises with existing installed bases of equipment supplied by our competitors and to enterprises that may purchase such competitor equipment in the future. We believe the ability of our Lifesize products to interoperate with the equipment of other telecommunications, video conferencing or telepresence equipment suppliers to be a key factor in purchasing decisions by current or prospective Lifesize customers. In addition, Lifesize has broadened its product portfolio to include infrastructure, cloud services and other offerings which require different approaches to developing customer solutions. We are also seeking to offer Lifesize products designed to enhance the use of mobile devices in video conferencing applications. Critical Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America) requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We consider an accounting estimate critical if it: (i) requires management to make judgments and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain; and (ii) is important to an understanding of our financial condition and operating results. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that may impact us in the future, actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. We believe the following accounting estimates are most critical to our business operations and to an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations, and reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Accruals for Customer Programs We record accruals for product returns, cooperative marketing arrangements, customer incentive programs and pricing programs. An allowance against accounts receivable is recorded for accruals and program activity related to our direct customers and those indirect customers who receive payments for program activity through our direct customers. An accrued liability is recorded for accruals and program activity related to our indirect customers who receive payments directly and do not have a right of offset against a receivable balance. The estimated cost of these programs is recorded as a reduction of revenue, as cost of sales or as an operating expense, if we receive a separately identifiable benefit from the customer and can reasonably estimate the fair value of that benefit. Significant management judgment and estimates must be used to determine the cost of these programs in any accounting period. 150 151 JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.144OPERATORJoyD JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.145OPERATORJoyD <12345678>CleanReturns. We grant limited rights to return products. Return rights vary by customer, and range from just the right to return defective product to stock rotation rights limited to a percentage approved by management. Estimates of expected future product returns are recognized at the time of sale based on analyses of historical return trends by customer and by product, inventories owned by and located at distributors and retailers, current customer demand, current operating conditions, and other relevant customer and product information. Return trends are influenced by product life cycle status, new product introductions, market acceptance of products, sales levels, product sell-through, the type of customer, seasonality, product quality issues, competitive pressures, operational policies and procedures and other factors. Return rates can fluctuate over time, but are sufficiently predictable to allow us to estimate expected future returns. Cooperative Marketing Arrangements. We enter into customer marketing programs with many of our distribution and retail customers, and with certain indirect partners, allowing customers to receive a credit equal to a set percentage of their purchases of our products, or a fixed dollar credit for various marketing arrangements. The objective of these arrangements is to encourage advertising and promotional events to increase sales of our products. Accruals for these marketing arrangements are recorded at the time of sale, or time of commitment, based on negotiated terms, historical experience and inventory levels in the channel. Customer Incentive Programs. Customer incentive programs include performance-based incentives and consumer rebates. We offer performance-based incentives to our distribution customers, retail customers and indirect partners based on pre-determined performance criteria. Accruals for performance-based incentives are recognized as a reduction of the sale price at the time of sale. Estimates of required accruals are determined based on negotiated terms, consideration of historical experience, anticipated volume of future purchases, and inventory levels in the channel. Consumer rebates are offered from time to time at the Company’s discretion for the primary benefit of end-users. Estimated costs of consumer rebates and similar incentives are recorded at the time the incentive is offered, based on the specific terms and conditions. Pricing Programs. We have agreements with certain customers that contain terms allowing price protection credits to be issued in the event of a subsequent price reduction. At management’s discretion, we also offer special pricing discounts to certain customers. Special pricing discounts are usually offered only for limited time periods or for sales of selected products to specific indirect and direct partners. Our decision to make price reductions is influenced by product life cycle stage, market acceptance of products, the competitive environment, new product introductions and other factors. Estimates of expected future pricing actions are recognized at the time of sale based on analyses of historical pricing actions by customer and by product, inventories owned by and located at distributors and retailers, current customer demand, current operating conditions, and other relevant customer and product information. We regularly evaluate the adequacy of our accruals for product returns, cooperative marketing arrangements, customer incentive programs and pricing programs. Future market conditions and product transitions may require us to take action to increase such programs. In addition, when the variables used to estimate these costs change, or if actual costs differ significantly from the estimates, we would be required to record incremental increases or reductions to revenue or operating expenses. If, at any future time, we become unable to reasonably estimate these costs, recognition of revenue might be deferred until products are sold to users, which would adversely impact revenue in the period of transition. Inventory Valuation We must order components for our products and build inventory in advance of customer orders. Further, our industry is characterized by rapid technological change, short-term customer commitments and rapid changes in demand. 150 151 JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.144OPERATORJoyD JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.143OPERATORJoyD <12345678>CleanANNUAL REPORTWe record inventories at the lower of cost or market value and record write-downs of inventories that are obsolete or in excess of anticipated demand or market value. A review of inventory is performed each fiscal quarter that considers factors including the marketability and product life cycle stage, product development plans, component cost trends, demand forecasts and current sales levels. Inventory on hand which is not expected to be sold or utilized is considered excess, and we recognize the write-off in cost of sales at the time of such determination. The write- off is determined by comparison of the current replacement cost with the estimated selling price less any costs of completion and disposal (net realizable value) and the net realizable value less an allowance for normal profit. At the time of loss recognition, a new per unit, lower-cost basis for that inventory is established and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances would not result in an increase in the cost basis. If there were an abrupt and substantial decline in demand for Logitech’s products or an unanticipated change in technological or customer requirements, we may be required to record additional write-downs that could adversely affect gross margins in the period when the write-downs are recorded. Share-Based Compensation Expense Share-based compensation expense includes compensation expense, reduced for estimated forfeitures. The grant date fair value for stock options and stock purchase rights is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing valuation model. The grant date fair value of RSUs (restricted stock units) that vest upon meeting certain market conditions is estimated using the Monte-Carlo simulation method. The grant date fair value of time-based RSUs is calculated based on the closing market price on the date of grant. Our estimates of share-based compensation expense require a number of complex and subjective assumptions including our stock price volatility, employee exercise patterns, future forfeitures, dividend yield, related tax effects and the selection of an appropriate fair value model. We estimate expected share price volatility based on historical volatility using daily prices over the term of past options, RSUs or purchase offerings, as we consider historical share price volatility as most representative of future volatility. We estimate expected life based on historical settlement rates, which we believe are most representative of future exercise and post-vesting termination behaviors. We use historical data to estimate pre-vesting forfeitures, and we record share-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. The dividend yield assumption is based on our history and future expectations of dividend payouts. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based compensation expense and related tax effects represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, or if we decide to use a different valuation model, our share-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future from what we have recorded in the current period, which could materially affect our results of operations. Accounting for Income Taxes We operate in multiple jurisdictions and our profits are taxed pursuant to the tax laws of these jurisdictions. Our effective income tax rate may be affected by the changes in or interpretations of tax laws and tax agreements in any given jurisdiction, utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, changes in geographical mix of income and expense, and changes in our assessment of matters such as the ability to realize deferred tax assets. As a result of these considerations, we must estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in the consolidated balance sheet. We assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, considering all available evidence such as historical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax strategies. When we determine that we are not able to realize 152 153 JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.144OPERATORJoyD JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.145OPERATORJoyD <12345678>Cleanall or part of our deferred tax assets, an adjustment is charged to earnings in the period when such determination is made. Likewise, if we later determine that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would be realized, the previously provided valuation allowance would be reversed. We make certain estimates and judgments about the application of tax law, the expected resolution of uncertain tax positions and other matters surrounding the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax benefits. In the event that uncertain tax positions are resolved for amounts different than our estimates, or the related statutes of limitations expire without the assessment of additional income taxes, we will be required to adjust the amounts of the related assets and liabilities in the period in which such events occur. Such adjustments may have a material impact on our income tax provision and our results of operations. Goodwill We perform our annual goodwill impairment test of each reporting unit as of December 31 and complete the assessment during our fiscal fourth quarter, or more frequently, if certain events or circumstances warrant. Events or changes in circumstances which might indicate potential impairment in goodwill include the company- specific factors, including, but not limited to, stock price volatility, market capitalization relative to net book value, and projected revenue, market growth and operating results. Determining the number of reporting units and the fair value of a reporting unit requires us to make judgments and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. We have two reporting units: peripherals and video conferencing. The allocation of assets and liabilities to each of our reporting units also involves judgment and assumptions. The goodwill impairment assessment involves three tests, Step 0, Step 1 and Step 2. The Step 0 test involves performing an initial qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired and thus whether it is necessary to proceed to Step 1 and calculate the fair value of the respective reporting unit. We may proceed directly to the Step 1 test without performing the Step 0 test. The Step 1 test involves measuring the recoverability of goodwill at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value is estimated using an income approach employing a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) and a market-based model. The DCF model is based on projected cash flows from our most recent forecast (“assessment forecast”) developed in connection with each of our reporting units to perform the goodwill impairment assessment. The assessment forecast is based on a number of key assumptions, including, but not limited to, discount rate, compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) during the forecast period, and terminal value. The terminal value is based on an exit price at the end of the assessment forecast using an earnings multiple applied to the final year of the assessment forecast. The discount rate is applied to the projected cash flows to reflect the risks inherent in the timing and amount of the projected cash flows, including the terminal value, and is derived from the weighted average cost of capital of market participants in similar businesses. The market approach model is based on applying certain revenue and earnings multiples of comparable companies relevant to each of our reporting units to the respective revenue and earnings metrics of our reporting units. To test the reasonableness of the fair values indicated by the income approach and the market-based approach, we also assessed the implied premium of the aggregate fair value over the market capitalization considered attributable to an acquisition control premium, which is the price in excess of a stock market’s price that investors would typically pay to gain control of an entity. The discounted cash flow model and the market approach require the exercise of significant judgment, including assumptions about appropriate discount rates, long-term growth rates for purposes of determining a terminal value at the end of the discrete forecast period, economic expectations, timing of expected future cash flows, and expectations of returns on equity that will be achieved. Such assumptions are subject to change as a result of changing economic and competitive conditions. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value as determined by these assessments, goodwill is considered impaired, and the Step 2 test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. The Step 2 test measures the impairment loss by allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to its assets and liabilities other than goodwill, comparing the resulting implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount, and recording an impairment charge for the difference. 152 153 JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.144OPERATORJoyD JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.143OPERATORJoyD <12345678>CleanANNUAL REPORTApplicable to Both Reporting Units We continue to evaluate and monitor all key factors impacting the carrying value of our recorded goodwill, as well as other long-lived assets. There are a number of uncertainties associated with the key assumptions described above based primarily on the difficulty of predicting our revenues and profitability. Our revenues and profitability are difficult to predict due to the nature of the markets in which we compete, fluctuating end-user demand, the uncertainty of current and future global economic conditions, and for many other reasons, including, but not limited to: • Our revenues are impacted by consumer demand and future global conditions, which could fluctuate abruptly and significantly during periods of uncertain economic conditions or geographic distress, as well as from shifts in consumer buying patterns. • We must incur a large portion of our costs in advance of sales orders, because we must plan research and production, order components, buy tooling equipment, and enter into development, sales and marketing, and other operating commitments prior to obtaining firm commitments from our customers. This makes it difficult for us to rapidly adjust our costs in response to a revenue shortfall. • Fluctuations in currency exchange rates can impact our revenues, expenses and profitability because we report our financial statements in U.S. dollars, whereas a significant portion of our revenues and expenses are in other currencies. • The peripherals industry is characterized by short product life cycles, frequent new product introductions, rapidly changing technology, dynamic consumer demand and evolving industry standards. As a result, we must continually innovate in our new and existing product categories, introduce new products and technologies, and enhance existing products in order to remain competitive. • The video conferencing industry is characterized by continual performance enhancements and large, well-financed competitors. There is increased participation in the video conferencing market by companies such as Cisco Systems, Inc. and Polycom, Inc., and as a result, we expect competition in the industry to further intensify. Should the actual outcome of some or all of these assumptions differ significantly from the current assumptions, revisions to current cash flow assumptions could cause the fair value of the reporting units to be significantly different in future periods. Product Warranty Accrual We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time the related revenue is recognized based on historical and projected warranty claim rates, historical and projected cost, and knowledge of specific product failures that are outside of our typical experience. Each quarter, we reevaluate our estimates to assess the adequacy of our recorded warranty liabilities considering the size of the installed base of products subject to warranty protection and adjust the amounts as necessary. If actual product failure rates or repair costs differ from estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liabilities would be required and could materially affect our results of operations. Results of Operations We have revised our results of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 and restated our results of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. The restatement reflects the results of the independent investigation by the Audit Committee and other corrections identified by the management to the financial statements.

Retail sales increased in Americas and Asia Pacific and decreased in EMEA during fiscal year 2014, compared to fiscal year 2013. The increase in retail sales is primarily due to triple-digit growth in Mobile Speakers, double-digit growth in Tablets & Other Accessories and PC Gaming, offset in part by a decline in Audio-PC & Wearables, Video, and our Non-Strategic categories, compared to fiscal year 2013. During fiscal year 2013, our retail sales decreased 8% and units sold decreased 7%, compared to fiscal year 2012. We experienced decreases in all three regions during fiscal year 2013, compared to fiscal year 2012. OEM: OEM sales of $141.7 million during fiscal year 2014 remained flat compared to fiscal year 2013. OEM units sold remained flat during fiscal year 2014 compared with fiscal year 2013. During fiscal year 2013, OEM net sales decreased 24% and units sold decreased 12%, compared to fiscal year 2012. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales in the keyboard/desktop category and pointing devices. Lifesize: During fiscal year 2014, video conferencing net sales decreased 12%, compared to fiscal year 2013. The decrease primarily resulted from the combination of a changing industry landscape caused by a shift to less expensive, cloud-based video conferencing solutions, an evolving Lifesize product line and challenges in execution. During fiscal year 2013, video conferencing net sales decreased 7%, compared to fiscal year 2012. The decrease was reflected in all geographic regions and was impacted by the slowdown in the overall video conferencing industry in recent years, together with the competitive environment and lower demand related to new product launches. Sales Denominated in Other Currencies Although our financial results are reported in U.S. Dollars, a portion of our sales were generated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, such as the Euro, Chinese Renminbi, Japanese Yen, Canadian Dollar and Australian Dollar. During fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, 45%, 45% and 45% of our net sales were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, respectively. Retail Sales by Region We use sell-through data, which represents sales of our products by our retailer customers to consumers, and by our distributor customers to resellers, along with other metrics, to assess consumer demand for our products. Sell-through data is subject to limitations due to collection methods and the third-party nature of the data. Although the sell-through data we obtained typically represents a majority of our retail sales, the customers supplying sell-through data vary by geographic region and from period-to-period. As a result of these limitations, sell-through data may not be an accurate indicator of actual consumer demand for our products. 154 155 JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.144OPERATORJoyD JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.143OPERATORJoyD <12345678>CleanANNUAL REPORTAmericas During fiscal year 2014, retail sales in Americas increased 9%, compared to fiscal year 2013. Retail sales increased in Tablet & Other Accessories, Mobile speakers, PC Gaming, PC Keyboards & Desktops and Pointing Devices, partially offset by decreases in Non-Strategic Other, Audio-PC & Wearables, Remotes, and Video. The increase in Tablet & Other Accessories was led by sales of our Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for the iPad and from our recently introduced Keyboard Folio suite of products designed for the iPad, iPad mini and iPad Air. The increase in Mobile Speakers was primarily from the UE BOOM. The increase in PC Gaming was due to the recent launch of our new gaming products.

Growth Categories: PC Gaming Our retail PC Gaming category comprises PC Gaming mice, keyboards, headsets, gamepads and steering wheels. During fiscal year 2014, retail sales of PC Gaming increased 29% and units sold increased 24%, compared to fiscal year 2013. This growth was primarily due to the recent launch of our new gaming products, including mice, keyboards and headsets. New products made up 23% of total PC Gaming revenue for fiscal year 2014. Our top revenue-generating PC Gaming products included the Logitech G27 Racing Wheel, the Logitech G930 Wireless Gaming Headset, the G500s Laser Gaming Mouse, the G700s Rechargeable Gaming Mouse, and the G710+ Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. During fiscal year 2013, retail sales of PC Gaming decreased 22% and units sold decreased 9%, compared to fiscal year 2012. The decrease was across most of our PC Gaming products, with the most significant decrease in our steering wheel product category, partially offset by strong sales from select gaming products including the Logitech G930 Wireless Gaming Headsets. The difference between the decline in gaming sales and the decrease in units sold reflects a product mix shift away from higher-priced steering wheels to lower-priced mice, keyboards and gamepads. The overall decline in this category primarily reflected an aging product lineup. 156 157 JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.144OPERATORJoyD JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.143OPERATORJoyD <12345678>CleanANNUAL REPORTTablet & Other Accessories Our retail Tablet & Other Accessories category comprises keyboards and covers for tablets and smartphones as well as other accessories for mobile devices. During fiscal year 2014, retail sales of Tablet & Other Accessories increased 44% and units sold increased 87%, compared to fiscal year 2013. The increase was driven by demand for the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for the iPad, as well as strong sales from recently introduced products such as the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for the iPad Mini and from the Logitech Keyboard Folio suite of products designed for the iPad, iPad mini, and iPad Air. The faster growth in unit shipments reflects the broadening of our portfolio to address a larger portion of the tablet accessory market, including tablet cases. During fiscal year 2013, retail sales of Tablet & Other Accessories represented our strongest product category with an increase of 170% and units sold increase of 124%, compared to fiscal year 2012. This increase was driven by demand for the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover, which represented our best selling product across all of our categories. Mobile Speakers Our retail Mobile Speakers category includes portable Bluetooth wireless speakers. During fiscal year 2014, retail sales of Mobile Speakers increased 162% and units sold increased 88%, compared to fiscal year 2013. The 162% increase in our wireless speakers for smartphones and tablets was driven by a strong demand primarily for the UE BOOM. Our top revenue-generating wireless speaker products during fiscal year 2014 included the UE BOOM and the UE Mini BOOM. During fiscal year 2013, retail sales of Mobile Speakers increased 52% and units sold increased 53%, compared to fiscal year 2012. The increase was from a 52% increase in our wireless speakers for smartphones and tablets. We experienced strong initial sales from our new wireless speakers including the Logitech UE Mobile Boombox and Logitech UE Boombox, both of which began shipping late in the second quarter of fiscal year 2013. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, this category was negatively impacted by very weak demand for the Logitech UE Boombox. The poor sales performance of this product was due to a lack of competitive differentiation and a form factor that has proved to be too large for many consumers. Contrasting, sales continued to be strong for our smaller, lower cost Logitech UE Mobile Boombox. Profit Maximization Categories: Pointing Devices Our retail Pointing Devices category comprises PC and Mac-related mice, touchpads and presenters. During fiscal year 2014, retail sales of Pointing Devices decreased 3% and units sold decreased 1%, compared to fiscal year 2013. The decrease in retail sales was primarily due to the continued weakness in the global PC market. The decrease was primarily from our high-end product offerings, which decreased 14%, followed by our mid-range product offerings, which decreased 6%, and our low-end product offerings remained relatively flat for the year. Retail sales of corded mice decreased 9% and units sold decreased 10%. Retail sales of cordless mice decreased 1% and units sold increased 4%. During fiscal year 2013, retail sales of pointing devices decreased 7% and units sold decreased 5%, compared to fiscal year 2013. The continued weakness in the global PC market was a major factor in the sales decrease across all regions except the Asia Pacific region where retail sales were consistent. The decrease in our low-end product offerings, which decreased 6%, and our mid-range products which decreased 8%, was partially offset by an increase in our high-end product offerings of 3%. Sales of all cordless mice decreased 5% and units sold increased 1%.

During fiscal year 2014, retail sales of PC Keyboards & Desktops increased 4% and units sold decreased 1%, compared to fiscal year 2013. The sales increase was primarily due to sales increase in our corded and cordless combo. Our best selling product in this category was the Wireless Touch Keyboard K400, which features an integrated touchpad and has been popular for use in the living room. Retail sales of corded and cordless keyboards decreased 17% and 5%, respectively, and units sold decreased 21% and 6%, respectively. Retail sales of corded and cordless combos increased 3% and 7%, respectively, and units sold decreased 1% and increased 10%, respectively. During fiscal year 2013, retail sales of PC Keyboards & Desktops increased 4% and units sold increased 1%, compared to fiscal year 2012. Although this category was affected by the continued weakness in the global PC market, we managed to achieve a modest retail sales increase due to continued development of new, innovative products led by the Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400, and from other products, including the Logitech Washable Keyboard K310, Logitech Wireless Combo MK240, Logitech Bluetooth Illuminated Keyboard K810 and the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard for Mac. Retail sales of corded and cordless combos decreased 9% and were consistent, respectively, and units sold decreased 7% and increased 4%, respectively. Retail sales of corded and cordless keyboards decreased 5% and decreased 7%, respectively, and unit sales decreased 11% and were consistent, respectively. Audio-PC & Wearables Our retail Audio-PC & Wearables category comprises PC speakers, PC headsets and in-ear headphones. During fiscal year 2014, retail sales of Audio-PC decreased 13% and units sold decreased 17%, compared to fiscal year 2013. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in PC speaker retail sales of 10% and units sold of 11%. These decreases reflect both a weakness in the overall market for new PCs and a market shift toward mobile audio devices. Retail sales of our Wearables products declined 39%, as we phase out the headphone category. During fiscal year 2013, retail sales of Audio-PC decreased 14% and units sold decreased 15%, compared to fiscal year 2012. This was due to a decrease in PC speaker retail sales of 14% and unit sales decrease of 17% and PC headset retail sales decrease of 8% and units sold decrease of 10%. These decreases reflect both weakness in the overall market for new PCs and a market shift toward mobile audio devices. Video Our retail Video category comprises retail webcams and Unified Communications webcams. During fiscal year 2014, retail sales of Video decreased 10% and units sold decreased 26%, compared to fiscal year 2013. The decrease was primarily due to weakness in our consumer webcam product line, which decreased 17%, and which continued to be negatively impacted by the combination of market trends, including the popularity of embedded webcams in mobile devices, and the overall weakness of the PC market. The decrease in our webcam product line was concentrated in both the low-end and mid-end of the category. The decrease was partially offset by strong growth in our high-end category, which increased 28%. During fiscal year 2013, retail sales of Video decreased 22% and units sold decreased 27%, compared to fiscal year 2012. The decrease was primarily due to weakness in our webcam product line, which decreased 26%, and which continued to be negatively impacted by the combination of market trends, including the popularity of embedded webcams in mobile devices, and the overall weakness of the PC market. We experienced strong growth in the high-end category driven by the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920, which offers full HD 1080p, and from the Logitech BCC950 Conference Cam for the enterprise market. 158 159 JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.144OPERATORJoyD JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.143OPERATORJoyD <12345678>CleanANNUAL REPORTRemotes Our retail Remotes category comprises our Harmony remotes. During fiscal year 2014, retail sales of Remotes decreased 6% and units sold decreased 23%, compared to fiscal year 2013. The decrease in Remotes was primarily concentrated in our high-end and low-end products, partially offset by increases in our mid-range product lines. New products such Harmony Ultimate and Harmony Smart Control contributed to 58% of total retail sales of Remotes for fiscal year 2014. The higher decline in units sold reflected our strategic shift away from the low-end products. During fiscal year 2013, retail sales of Remotes decreased 21% and units sold decreased 37%, compared to fiscal year 2012. The decrease was concentrated in the low and mid-range remotes, which decreased 39% and 66%, respectively. The high-end remotes decreased 7%; however we launched Harmony Touch in October 2012, our first new high-end remote in over four years. The significant decrease in units sold, relative to retail sales, primarily reflects the transition away from selling low end remotes to mid to high-end remotes. Non-Strategic This category comprises a variety of products that we currently intend to transition out of, or have already transitioned out of, because they are no longer strategic to our business. Products currently included in this category include TV camera, Digital Video Security, TV and home speakers, Google TV products, and Keyboard/Desktop accessories. During fiscal year 2014, retail sales of this category decreased 57% and units sold decreased 64%, compared to fiscal year 2013. During fiscal year 2013, retail sales of this category decreased 46% and units sold decreased 37%, compared to fiscal year 2012. OEM During fiscal year 2014, OEM sales and units sold remained flat compared to fiscal year 2013. During fiscal year 2013, OEM sales decreased 24% and units sold decreased 12%, compared to fiscal year 2012. These declines were primarily due to lower sales in pointing devices and the keyboard/desktop category. Video Conferencing During fiscal year 2014, video conferencing sales decreased 12% compared to fiscal year 2013. The decrease was primarily due to a combination of a changing industry landscape caused by a shift to less expensive, cloud-based video conferencing solutions, an evolving Lifesize product line and challenges in execution experienced in all geographic regions. During fiscal year 2013, video conferencing sales decreased 7% compared to fiscal year 2012. The decrease was impacted by the slowdown in the overall video conferencing industry, together with the competitive environment in fiscal year 2013 and lower demand related to new product launches. 160 161 JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.144OPERATORJoyD JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.145OPERATORJoyD <12345678>CleanGross Profit Gross profit for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 was as follows (in thousands): Years Ended March 31, 2014 2013 2012 Net sales . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The increase in gross margin during fiscal year 2014, compared to fiscal year 2013, was primarily due to cost improvements across all of our PC-related categories and from actions we took since fiscal year 2013 to streamline our product portfolio, revalue inventory of several discontinued Music category products and the discontinuation of projects in 2013 due to restructuring. Gross margin for fiscal year 2013 decreased, compared to fiscal year 2012. During fiscal year 2013, we experienced gross margin improvement from improvements to our global supply chain process. These improvements were almost entirely offset by an unfavorable change in retail product mix, the negative impact of a weaker euro, a charge to revalue our inventory of several headphones and a large form-factor wireless speaker included in our mobile speakers retail product category, pricing actions related to the simplification of our product portfolio in Americas and EMEA regions, costs related to product development efforts that were discontinued as a result of our restructuring plans during fiscal year 2013, and a provision for a patent dispute.

The increase in total operating expenses during fiscal year 2013, compared to fiscal year 2012, was mainly due to the $216.7 million impairment charge of goodwill and other assets primarily related to the Lifesize business and from the $43.7 million in costs related to restructuring plans we implemented in fiscal year 2013. Marketing and Selling Marketing and selling expense consists of personnel and related overhead costs, corporate and product marketing, promotions, advertising, trade shows, customer and technical support and facilities costs. During fiscal year 2014, marketing and selling expenses decreased 12%, compared to fiscal year 2013. The decrease was primarily due to $15 million lower personnel-related expenses from the reduction in Lifesize worldwide workforce restructuring and $24 million lower advertising and marketing cost related to the launch of new Music category in fiscal year 2013. During fiscal year 2013, marketing and selling expense increased 2%, compared to fiscal year 2012. We experienced increased advertising, product design, consulting and marketing expenses associated with the launch of new music products, which were partially offset by decreases in personnel-related expense from restructuring plans we implemented during fiscal year 2013, and reduction in Digital Home category marketing cost. Research and Development Research and development expense consists of personnel and related overhead costs, contractors and outside consultants, supplies and materials, equipment depreciation and facilities costs, all associated with the design and development of new products and enhancements of existing products. During fiscal year 2014, research and development expense decreased 10%, compared to fiscal year 2013. The decrease was primarily due to $6 million lower personnel-related expenses from the reduction in Lifesize worldwide restructuring and $9 million lower design and development cost related to the fiscal year 2013 launch of the new Music category. During fiscal year 2013, research and development expense decreased 4%, compared to fiscal year 2012. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in personnel related expenses due to the reduction in worldwide workforce resulting from our restructuring plans. General and Administrative General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel and related overhead and facilities costs for the finance, information systems, executive, human resources and legal functions. During fiscal year 2014, general and administrative expense increased 4%, compared to fiscal year 2013. The increase was primarily due to $8 million increase in personnel-related expense due to higher variable compensation costs related to our improved performance and share-based compensation expense, partially offset by $4 million decrease of facility related expenses due to our recent restructuring plans which occurred during fiscal year 2013. During fiscal year 2013, general and administrative expense increased 5%, compared to fiscal year 2012. The increase was primarily due to the gain on sale of property and plant related to unused manufacturing properties in China which impacted fiscal year 2012 and from the write-off of the remaining lease obligations resulting from the exit of our former U.S. corporate offices during fiscal year 2013, partially offset by a decrease in personnel- related expenses and share-based compensation expense due to the reduction in worldwide workforce from our restructuring plans during fiscal year 2013. 162 163 JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.144OPERATORJoyD JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.145OPERATORJoyD <12345678>CleanImpairment of Goodwill and Other Assets There was no impairment of goodwill and other assets for fiscal year 2014. We recorded an impairment charge of goodwill and other assets of $216.7 million primarily related to the Lifesize business in fiscal year 2013. While performing our annual goodwill impairment analysis of each of our reporting units as of December 31, 2012, we determined that our video conferencing reporting unit’s estimated fair value was less than its carrying value, thus requiring a Step 2 assessment of this reporting unit. This impairment primarily resulted from a decrease in our expected CAGR during the assessment forecast period based on greater evidence of the overall enterprise video conferencing industry experiencing a slowdown in recent quarters, combined with lower demand related to new product launches, increased competition in fiscal year 2013 and other market data. The Step 2 test required us to fair value all assets and liabilities of our video conferencing reporting unit to determine the implied fair value of this reporting unit’s goodwill. We were unable to complete the Step 2 analysis prior to filing of our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2012 due to the complexities of determining the implied fair value of goodwill of our video conferencing reporting unit. Based on our work performed during the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, we initially recorded an estimated goodwill impairment charge of $211.0 million. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, we completed this goodwill impairment assessment and recorded an additional $3.5 million in goodwill impairment charge related to our video conferencing reporting unit. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, we also recorded impairment charges of $2.1 million related to our digital video security product line, included within our retail video product category, which we plan to divest.

Interest expense increased during fiscal year 2014, compared to fiscal year 2013. The increase was primarily due to the write-off of $1.0 million in amortized loan fees related to our $250.0 million Senior Revolving Credit Facility which we chose to terminate during fiscal year 2014. Interest income decreased during fiscal year 2013, compared to fiscal year 2012. The decrease was primarily due to lower invested balances resulting from the $133.5 million cash dividend payment made in September 2012 and from the $87.8 million paid to repurchase 8.6 million shares under our amended September 2008 buyback program. Interest expense increased during fiscal year 2013, compared to fiscal year 2012.

Our effective income tax rate may be affected by changes in or interpretations of tax laws and tax agreements in any given jurisdiction, utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, changes in geographical mix of income and expense, and changes in management’s assessment of matters such as the ability to realize deferred tax assets. The change in the effective income tax rate between fiscal year 2014 and 2013 was primarily due to the mix of income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate and a tax benefit of $14.3 million during fiscal year 2014, related to the reversal of uncertain tax positions resulting from the expiration of the statutes of limitations. In fiscal year 2013, there was a tax benefit of $35.6 million related to the reversal of uncertain tax positions resulting from the closure of federal income tax examinations in the United States. The change in the effective income tax rate between fiscal year 2013 and 2012 was primarily due to the mix of income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate and a tax benefit of $35.6 million during fiscal year 2013, related to the reversal of uncertain tax positions resulting from the closure of federal income tax examinations in the United States.

As of March 31, 2013, we had $98.8 million in non-current income taxes payable. We continue to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in income tax expense. We recognized $1.1 million, $1.0 million and $1.2 million in interest and penalties in income tax expense during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, we had approximately $5.6 million, $6.6 million and $7.5 million of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. We file Swiss and foreign tax returns. For all these tax returns, we are generally not subject to tax examinations for years prior to fiscal year 2001. We are under examination and have received assessment notices in foreign tax jurisdictions. At this time, we are not able to estimate the potential impact that these examinations may have on income tax expense. If the examinations are resolved unfavorably, there is a possibility they may have a material negative impact on our results of operations. Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash Balances, Available Borrowings, and Capital Resources As of March 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $469.4 million, compared with $333.8 million at March 31, 2013. Our cash and cash equivalents consist of bank demand deposits and short-term time deposits of which 73% is held by our Swiss-based entities and 12% is held by our subsidiaries in Hong Kong and China. We do not expect to incur any material adverse tax impact or be significantly inhibited by any country in which we do business from the repatriation of funds to Switzerland, our home domicile. At March 31, 2014, our working capital was $478.2 million compared with working capital of $385.1 million at March 31, 2013. The increase in working capital over the prior year was primarily due to higher cash balances offset by low inventory balances at March 31, 2014. During fiscal year 2014, we generated $205.4 million from operating activities. Our main sources of operating cash flows were from net income after adding back non-cash expenses of depreciation, amortization, and share-based compensation expense, from an increase in accrued and other liabilities and from a decrease in inventories. Net cash used in investing activities was $46.8 million, primarily for purchase of property, plant, and equipment of $46.7 million. Net cash used in financing activities was $22.7 million, primarily for the $36.1 million cash dividends, partially offset by $16.9 million in proceeds received from the sale of shares upon exercise of options and purchase rights. During fiscal year 2013, we generated $122.4 million of cash flow from operating activities. Our main sources of operating cash flows were net loss after adding back non-cash expenses of depreciation, amortization, impairment of goodwill and other assets, investment impairment, share-based compensation expense, and from decreases in accounts receivables and inventories. These sources of operating cash flows were offset in part by decreases in accounts payables and accrued liabilities and an increase in other assets. Net cash used in investing activities was $57.7 million, primarily for $54.5 million of investments in leasehold improvements, computer hardware and software, tooling and equipment and for our strategic investments of $4.4 million. Net cash used in financing activities was $207.6 million, primarily for the $133.5 million cash dividend payment and for the $87.8 million used to repurchase 8.6 million shares under our share buyback program, partially offset by $16.0 million in proceeds received from sale of shares upon exercise of options and purchase rights. In December 2011, we entered into a Senior Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (“Credit Facility”) with a group of primarily Swiss banks that provided for a revolving multicurrency unsecured credit facility in the amount of up to $250.0 million and subject to certain requirements, permitted us to arrange with existing or new lenders to provide up to an aggregate of $150.0 million in additional commitments, for a total of $400.0 million. We also paid a quarterly commitment fee of 40% of the applicable margin on the available commitment.

There were no outstanding borrowings at the time of termination. We had several uncommitted, unsecured bank lines of credit aggregating to $40.0 million as of March 31, 2014. There are no financial covenants under these lines of credit which we must comply with. As of March 31, 2014, we had outstanding bank guarantees of $7.1 million under these lines of credit. We also had credit lines related to corporate credit cards totaling $6.9 million as of March 31, 2014. There are no financial covenants under these credit lines. We file Swiss and foreign tax returns. For all these tax returns, we are generally not subject to tax examinations for years prior to fiscal year 2001. We are under examination and have received assessment notices in foreign tax jurisdictions. At this time, we are not able to estimate the potential impact that these examinations may have on income tax expense. If the examinations are resolved unfavorably, there is a possibility they may have a material negative impact on our results of operations. Although we have adequately provided for uncertain tax positions, the provisions on these positions may change as revised estimates are made or the underlying matters are settled or otherwise resolved. It is reasonably possible that resolutions in the next 12 months could increase or decrease the balance of our unrecognized tax benefits but we are not able to estimate the change at this time.

DSO as of March 31, 2013 decreased 4 days, compared to March 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to improvement in cash collections. Typical payment terms require customers to pay for product sales generally within 30 to 60 days. However, terms may vary by customer type, by country and by selling season. Extended payment terms are sometimes offered to a limited number of customers during the quarters ended September 30 and December 31. We do not modify payment terms on existing receivables, but may offer discounts for early payment. ITO as of March 31, 2014 increased, compared to March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to lower inventory levels in relation to net sales during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014. ITO as of March 31, 2013 increased, compared to March 31, 2012.

During fiscal year 2014, purchases of property, plant and equipment decreased, compared to fiscal year 2013, primarily due to leasehold improvements related to our new Silicon Valley campus during fiscal year 2013. During fiscal year 2014, we made a $0.7 million investment. During fiscal year 2013, we sold our two remaining available-for-sale securities for $0.9 million. During fiscal year 2013, we purchased a strategic investment for $4.0 million in exchange for convertible preferred stock. We accounted for this investment under the cost method of accounting since we have less than a 20% ownership interest and we lack the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. We also purchased another strategic investment for $0.4 million in exchange for approximate 20% ownership interest. We accounted for this investment under the equity method of accounting since we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. In addition, we sold our two remaining available-for-sale securities for $0.9 million. During fiscal year 2012, $54.2 million capital investment activity was primarily due to leasehold improvements related to our new Americas headquarters. We also acquired Mirial S.r.l. for a total consideration of $18.8 million (€13.0 million), net of cash acquired of $1.4 million (€1.0 million). Proceeds from the sale of property and plant related to the sale of unused manufacturing properties in China. 168 169 JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.144OPERATORJoyD JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.145OPERATORJoyD <12345678>CleanThe purchases and sales of trading investments during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 represent mutual fund activity directed by participants in a deferred compensation plan offered by one of our subsidiaries.

There was no stock repurchase activity during fiscal year 2014. During fiscal year 2013, we repurchased 8.6 million shares for $87.8 million, compared to 17.5 million shares for $156.0 million during fiscal year 2012. Proceed from the sale of shares upon exercise of options and purchase rights pursuant our stock plans during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $16.9 million, $16.0 million and $17.6 million, respectively. The payment of tax withholdings related to net share settlements of RSUs (restricted stock units) required during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $5.7 million, $2.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Cash Outlook Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, cash flow generated from operations and, to a much lesser extent, capital markets and borrowings. Our future working capital requirements and capital expenditures may increase to support investment in product innovations and growth opportunities, or to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products, services, and technologies. In March 2014, our Board of Directors approved a new share buyback program, which authorizes us to invest up to $250.0 million to purchase our own shares. Our share buyback program provides us with the opportunity to make opportunistic repurchases during periods of favorable market conditions and is expected to remain in effect for a period of three years. Shares may be repurchased from time to time on the open market, through block trades or otherwise. Purchases may be started or stopped at any time without prior notice depending on market conditions and other factors. We file Swiss and foreign tax returns. For all these tax returns, we are generally not subject to tax examinations for years prior to fiscal year 2001. We are under examination and have received assessment notices in foreign tax jurisdictions. At this time, we are not able to estimate the potential impact that these examinations may have on income tax expense. If the examinations are resolved unfavorably, there is a possibility they may have a material negative impact on our results of operations. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, we implemented a restructuring plan solely affecting our video conferencing operating segment to align our organization to our strategic priorities of increasing focus on a tighter range of products, expanding cloud-based video conferencing services and improving profitability.

Our other contractual obligations and commitments that require cash are described in the following sections. For over ten years, we have generated positive cash flows from our operating activities, including cash from operations of $205.4 million, $122.4 million and $202.5 million during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. During fiscal year 2013, our level of cash and cash equivalents was significantly reduced by the distribution of CHF 125.7 million (U.S. dollar amount of $133.5 million) out of retained earnings, and by the $87.8 million in share repurchases. During fiscal year 2014, we paid a cash dividend of CHF 33.7 million (U.S. dollar amount of $36.1 million) out of retained earnings. On November 12, 2014, the Board approved, subject to approval by our shareholders and other Swiss statutory requirements, a dividend of CHF 0.2625 per share. We plan to issue an annual dividend on a recurring basis. If we do not generate sufficient operating cash flows to support our operations and future planned cash requirements, our operations could be harmed and our access to credit facilities could be restricted or eliminated. However, we believe that the trend of our historical cash flow generation, our projections of future operations and reduced expenses and our available cash balances will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. Contractual Obligations and Commitments As of March 31, 2014, our outstanding contractual obligations and commitments included: (i) facilities leased under operating lease commitments, (ii) purchase commitments and obligations, (iii) long-term liabilities for income taxes payable, and (iv) defined benefit pension plan and non-retirement post-employment benefit obligations.

Operating leases for facilities are generally renewable at our option and usually include escalation clauses linked to inflation. The remaining terms on our non-cancelable operating leases expire in various years through 2028. The liability for asset retirement obligations was not material for fiscal years 2014, 2013, and 2012. Purchase Commitments As of March 31, 2014, we have fixed purchase commitments of $102.8 million for inventory purchases made in the normal course of business to original design manufacturers, contract manufacturers and other suppliers, the majority of which are expected to be fulfilled during the first quarter of fiscal year 2015. We also had commitments of $46.0 million for consulting services, marketing arrangements, advertising, outsourced customer services, information technology maintenance and support services, and other services. Fixed purchase commitments for capital expenditures amounted to $13.0 million and primarily relate to commitments for computer hardware and leasehold improvements. We expect to continue making capital expenditures in the future to support product development activities and ongoing and expanded operations. Although open purchase commitments are considered enforceable and legally binding, the terms generally allow us the option to reschedule and adjust our requirements based on business needs prior to delivery of goods or performance of services. Income Taxes Payable As of March 31, 2014, we had $93.1 million in non-current income taxes payable and $0.3 million in current income taxes payable, including interest and penalties, related to our income tax liability for uncertain tax positions. As of March 31, 2013, we had $98.8 million in non-current income taxes payable. We file Swiss and foreign tax returns. For all these tax returns, we are generally not subject to tax examinations for years prior to fiscal year 2001. We are under examination and have received assessment notices in foreign tax jurisdictions. At this time, we are not able to estimate the potential impact that these examinations may have on income tax expense. If the examinations are resolved unfavorably, there is a possibility they may have a material negative impact on our results of operations. Obligation for Management Deferred Compensation At March 31, 2014, we had $16.6 million in liabilities related to a deferred compensation plan offered by one of our subsidiaries. See Note 5, Employee Benefit Plans, for more information. Pension and Post-Employment Obligations At March 31, 2014, we had $39.0 million in liabilities related to our defined benefit pension plans and non-retirement post-employment benefit obligations, of which $1.1 million is payable in the next 12 months. See Note 5, Employee Benefit Plans, for more information. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We have not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities whereby we have financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments or other contingent arrangements that expose us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities, or any other obligation under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to us. 170 171 JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.144OPERATORJoyD JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.143OPERATORJoyD <12345678>CleanANNUAL REPORTOther Contingencies: As previously announced, some of the issues reviewed by the Audit Committee are also the subject of an ongoing formal investigation by the SEC, including the accounting for Revue inventory valuation reserves that resulted in the restatement, revision to the Company’s financial statements concerning warranty accruals and amortization of intangible assets presented in our Form 10-K/A, filed on August 7,2013, and the Company’s transactions with a distributor for Fiscal Year 2007 through Fiscal Year 2009. The Company is cooperating with the SEC in its ongoing investigation. The Company has entered into an agreement with the SEC to extend the statute of limitations. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the investigation at this time and potential fines or penalties, if any, that may arise from the investigation are currently not estimable. Guarantees Logitech International S.A., the parent holding company, has issued several parent guarantees on behalf of its subsidiaries. The maximum potential future payment under the guarantee arrangements is limited to $80.0 million. As of March 31, 2014, there were no purchase obligations outstanding for which the parent holding company was required to guarantee payment. Logitech Europe S.A., a subsidiary of the parent holding company, has guaranteed the purchase obligations of another Logitech subsidiary under a guarantee agreement. This guarantee does not specify a maximum amount. As of March 31, 2014, the amount of purchase obligations outstanding under this guarantee was immaterial. In addition, Logitech Europe S.A. also guaranteed payments of a third-party contract manufacturer’s purchase obligations. As of March 31, 2014, the maximum amount of this guarantee was $3.5 million, of which $2.3 million of guaranteed purchase obligations were outstanding. Indemnifications We indemnify certain of our suppliers and customers for losses arising from matters such as intellectual property disputes and product safety defects, subject to certain restrictions. The scope of these indemnities varies, but in some instances, includes indemnification for damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. As of March 31, 2014, no amounts have been accrued for indemnification provisions. We do not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is probable that any material amounts will be required to be paid under our indemnification arrangements. We also indemnify our current and former directors and certain of our current and former officers. Certain costs incurred for providing such indemnification may be recoverable under various insurance policies. We are unable to reasonably estimate the maximum amount that could be payable under these arrangements because these exposures are not capped, the obligations are conditional in nature, and the facts and circumstances involved in any situation that might arise are variable.

Sales of our retail products priced above $100 represented approximately 15% of our total retail sales in both the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Products priced below $40 represented approximately 57% of retail sales in the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared with 61% in the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010. If foreign currency exchange rates had been the same in three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, our constant dollar retail sales decrease would have been 5%. Units sold to OEM customers declined 22% during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to decreased sales of our OEM mice and microphones for console singing games. Sales of our OEM mice decreased 12% and units sold decreased 19% during the quarter compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year. Microphone sales decreased by 91% in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2010. Sales of OEM keyboards and desktops increased 17% in dollars during the quarter compared with the prior year, with unit sales essentially flat between the two periods. LifeSize net sales represent sales of video conferencing units and related software and services. Sales of our LifeSize products increased 34% in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2010. Foreign currency exchange rates did not affect LifeSize sales.

Three months ended June 30, 2011 (14)% 1% 29% Retail sales in the EMEA region declined due to weak consumer demand for our products across much of Western Europe, most notably in the mature markets of Southern Europe such as Italy and Spain, where the economic environment was particularly challenging. The largest retail sales declines in EMEA occurred in the audio, digital home and pointing devices product families. Our constant dollar retail sales decrease in the EMEA region would have been 23%, if foreign currency exchange rates had been the same in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Retail units sold during the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased 13% compared with the prior year, in line with the sales dollar decrease. Despite the weak demand, the overall level of inventory carried by our channel partners declined by 22% from March 31, 2011 to June 30, 2011. We believe we have largely stabilized the EMEA-specific pricing and channel management programs which created the execution issues that negatively impacted our profitability in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011. However, we believe that full implementation of the necessary operational changes will continue through the remainder of fiscal year 2012 which has resulted in a reduction of our expectation for EMEA sales in fiscal year 2012. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we did achieve strong growth in EMEA’s emerging markets, particularly Russia, and sell-through in Germany, our largest market in EMEA, improved in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2011. In Americas region, retail sales increased 1% and retail units sold were flat in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to a 36% sales decline in the digital home product family, which was more than offset by increased sales of keyboards and desktops, pointing devices, and gaming products. In the digital home category, sales of remote controls in first quarter of fiscal year 2011 included the launch of several new remotes, including the Harmony 300 and the Harmony 650, whereas the same period in fiscal year 2012 did not include any remote control product launches. In addition, one of our Americas region customers placed a sizable order for remotes in the three months ended March 31, 2011, to support a promotion campaign, which negatively impacted sales in the three months ended June 30, 2011. The digital home category also includes Logitech Revue and related peripherals, which had slightly negative sales in the quarter, as returns of the 174 175 JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.144OPERATORJoyD JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.145OPERATORJoyD <12345678>Cleanproducts were higher than the very modest sales. Retail sell-through in Americas region increased during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared with the prior year. Foreign currency exchange rates had no effect on retail sales in the region for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Asia Pacific region’s retail sales grew 29% during the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the same period in 2010, driven primarily by sales in China, which increased 89% compared with the prior year. All product lines grew in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the prior year quarter, except digital home. Total retail units sold in the Asia Pacific region increased 31% during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared with the prior year. Retail sell-through during the quarter increased from the prior year in line with the sales growth. If foreign currency exchange rates had been the same in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, our Asia Pacific constant dollar retail sales increase would have been 24%.

Our video product family is comprised of PC webcams and Alert video security systems. Gaming includes console and PC gaming peripherals. The Digital Home product family combines our advanced Harmony Remote controls, Logitech Revue with Google TV, and peripherals associated with the Google TV platform. Net sales reflect accruals for product returns, cooperative marketing arrangements, customer incentive programs and pricing programs. Retail Pointing Devices A decline in dollar sales of pointing devices in our EMEA region for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 was offset by growth in Americas and Asia Pacific regions. Retail unit sales of pointing devices increased 9% in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the same period in 2010. Dollar sales of cordless mice increased 10%, while units grew 24% in the quarter. We achieved strong sales and unit growth in both our high-end as well as our value-priced cordless mice. Dollar sales of cordless mice grew in both Americas and Asia Pacific regions, with sales in China more than doubling. Unit sales of cordless mice grew in all three regions, with the strongest growth in China. Sales and units of corded mice decreased 19% and 6% in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the prior fiscal year, with dollar sales declines in all regions. Retail Keyboards and Desktops Retail unit sales of keyboards and desktops increased 16% during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared with 2010, primarily due to our cordless keyboards and desktops. Sales of cordless keyboards more than doubled in dollars compared with the prior year, led by the Wireless Solar Keyboard K750.

This new tablet accessories product line includes the Keyboard Case for iPad2 and the Tablet Keyboard for iPad, with additional products planned for launch in future quarters. Retail Audio Retail audio unit sales decreased 13% in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the same period in the prior year. Dollar sales growth in the Asia Pacific region was more than offset by declines in EMEA and Americas. PC speaker sales decreased 12% in dollars and 5% in units. Sales of our iPod speakers decreased 15% in dollars and 22% in units in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the prior year. Partially offsetting the sales declines in speakers, our Ultimate Ears line of earphones grew 12% in dollars during the quarter. Retail Video Our retail sales in the Video category increased 6%, while units decreased 9% in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared with 2010. The growth in sales was driven entirely by the Logitech Alert line of digital video security systems. Webcam sales declined 7% in dollars and 10% in units in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the same period in 2010, with growth in the Asia Pacific region offset by the sales decline in Americas region. Retail Gaming Retail sales of our gaming peripherals grew 51%, while unit sales decreased 7% during the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the same period in 2010. The dollar sales growth was due to strong sales of our steering wheels. Steering wheels have a higher selling price than our other gaming products, which explains the decline in unit sales. PC gaming sales increased 53% in dollars and decreased 4% in units during the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2010. Console gaming sales increased 69% in dollars and decreased 15% in units in the same periods. Retail Digital Home Retail sales in our digital home category, which includes Harmony remotes, Logitech Revue, and our Google TV peripherals, declined 53% during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared with the same quarter in the prior year. Sales of Harmony remotes decreased 48%, with the largest decline in EMEA due to slow moving channel inventory as a result of weak macroeconomic conditions in several countries, combined with the impact of execution issues in EMEA-specific pricing and channel management programs. The sales decrease in Americas region was attributable to higher sales in the three months ended June 30, 2010 from the successful launch of several new remotes, and a sizable order from one customer to support a promotion campaign, which occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2011 rather than the three months ended June 30, 2011.

We refer to our operating expenses excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates as constant dollar operating expenses. Constant dollar operating expenses are a non-GAAP financial measure, which is information derived from consolidated financial information but not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures in its financial and operational decision-making, and believes these non-GAAP measures, when considered in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, facilitate a better understanding of changes in operating expenses. Constant dollar operating expenses are calculated by translating prior period operating expenses in each local currency at the current period’s average exchange rate for that currency. Marketing and Selling Marketing and selling expense consists of personnel and related overhead costs, corporate and product marketing, promotions, advertising, trade shows, customer and technical support and facilities costs. Marketing and selling expenses increased 8% in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year primarily due to additional sales and marketing headcount for LifeSize, B2B and Asia Pacific region, and additional trade show and public relations initiatives for our LifeSize products. Stock compensation costs also increased, due to the use of RSUs (restricted stock units) instead of stock options. RSUs are less dilutive to shareholders because in general a smaller number of RSUs is granted, since the value at grant of RSUs is generally greater than the value of stock options. Settlement of a customer bankruptcy dispute also increased expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with 2010. Offsetting these increases were decreases in bonuses, advertising expense, bad debt expense and sales warehouse expense. The impact of foreign currency exchange rates also caused sales and marketing expenses to increase. If foreign currency exchange rates had been the same in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the percentage change in constant dollar marketing and selling expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 would have been 4%. 176 177 JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.144OPERATORJoyD JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.143OPERATORJoyD <12345678>CleanANNUAL REPORTResearch and Development Research and development expense consists of personnel and related overhead costs, contractors and outside consultants, supplies and materials, equipment depreciation and facilities costs, all associated with the design and development of new products and enhancements of existing products. The 5% increase in research and development expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the same period in the prior year was primarily due to investment in our LifeSize division and B2B products, and packaging evaluations. Research and development expense growth for our peripherals division was approximately the same as the change in retail peripherals sales. If foreign currency exchange rates had been the same in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, there would have been no change in constant dollar research and development expense. General and Administrative General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel and related overhead and facilities costs for the finance, information systems, executive, human resources and legal functions. General and administrative expense decreased 4% in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the same period last year. Expense decreased due to one-time $4.9 million recovery of expense from disposal of one abandoned building in China, offset by $2.1 million increase in personnel- related expenses, increased stock compensation expense from the use of RSUs, recruiting fees and increased litigation expenses.

The gain on sale of building for the three months ended June 30, 2010 relates to the sale of our building in Romanel, Switzerland. Investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 represents earnings and realized and unrealized gains on trading investments related to a deferred compensation plan offered by one of our subsidiaries. Investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 represents changes in the cash surrender value of Company-owned life insurance contracts, related to the same management deferred compensation plan. In December 2010, the Company surrendered the life insurance contracts for cash, and invested the proceeds in a portfolio of mutual funds, which are classified as trading investments.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 2010 As Restated $ (9,393) 177.8% As Revised $(5,402) (36.7)% The provision for income taxes consists of income and withholding taxes. Logitech operates in multiple jurisdictions and its profits are taxed pursuant to the tax laws of these jurisdictions. The Company’s effective income tax rate may be affected by changes in or interpretations of tax laws in any given jurisdiction, utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, changes in geographical mix of income and expense, and changes in management’s assessment of matters such as the ability to realize deferred tax assets. The change in the effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2010 is primarily due to the mix of income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates, and a discrete tax benefit of $7.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 from the closure of income tax audits in certain jurisdictions. As of June 30 and March 31, 2011, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits due to uncertain tax positions was $129.6 million and $130.1 million, of which $117.0 million and $118.2 million would affect the effective income tax rate if recognized. The decline in the income tax liability associated with uncertain tax benefits is primarily due to the expiration of statutes of limitations, offset by the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and the accrual of interest expense. The Company continues to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30 2011, accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions increased to $8.1 million from $8.0 million as of March 31, 2011. The Company files Swiss and foreign tax returns. For all these tax returns, the Company is generally not subject to tax examinations for years prior to 1999. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service expanded its examination of the Company’s U.S. subsidiary to include fiscal years 2008 and 2009 in addition to fiscal years 2006 and 2007.

If the examinations are resolved unfavorably, there is a possibility they may have a material impact on our results of operations. Although the Company has adequately provided for uncertain tax positions, the provisions on these positions may change as revised estimates are made or the underlying matters are settled or otherwise resolved. Although the timing of the resolution or closure on audits is highly uncertain, the Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits would materially change in the next twelve months. Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash Balances, Available Borrowings, and Capital Resources During the three months ended June 30, 2011, operating activities provided net cash of $5.4 million. Our largest sources of operating cash flows were decrease in accounts receivable and increase in accounts payable balances compared with March 31, 2011, offset by increases in inventory and deferred tax assets. Net cash used in investing activities was $7.3 million. We invested $12.2 million in capital expenditures for tooling, equipment, computer hardware, and software, which was partially offset by proceeds of $4.9 million from the sale of one of our buildings. Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.5 million, primarily from proceeds from employee stock purchases and the exercise of stock options. At June 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $476.4 million, comprised of bank demand deposits and short-term time deposits. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which is equivalent to fair value. The Company has credit lines with several European and Asian banks totaling $150.3 million as of June 30, 2011. As is common for businesses in European and Asian countries, these credit lines are uncommitted and unsecured. Despite the lack of formal commitments from the banks, we believe that these lines of credit will continue to be made available because of our long- standing relationships with these banks and our current financial condition. At June 30, 2011, there were no outstanding borrowings under these lines of credit. There are no financial covenants under these facilities. We provide various third parties with irrevocable letters of credit in the normal course of business to secure our obligations to pay or perform pursuant to the requirements of an underlying agreement or the provision of goods and services. These standby letters of credit are cancelable only at the option of the beneficiary who is authorized to draw drafts on the issuing bank up to the face amount of the standby letter of credit in accordance with its terms. At June 30, 2011, we had $0.6 million of letters of credit in place, of which $0.1 million was outstanding. These letters of credit relate primarily to equipment purchases by a subsidiary in China, and expire between July and December 2011. The Company has financed its operating and capital requirements primarily through cash flow from operations and, to a lesser extent, from capital markets and bank borrowings. Our normal short-term liquidity and long-term capital resource requirements are provided from three sources: cash flow generated from operations, cash and cash equivalents on hand, and borrowings, as needed, under our credit facilities. Based upon our available cash balances and credit lines, and the trend of our historical cash flow generation, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to fund operations for the foreseeable future. 180 181 JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.144OPERATORJoyD JOB TITLELogitech ComboREVISION13SERIALDATEWednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER270463 TYPEPAGE NO.145OPERATORJoyD <12345678>CleanCash Flow from Operating Activities The following table presents selected financial information and statistics as of June 30, 2011 and 2010 (dollars in thousands): Accounts receivable, net . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

ITO is determined using ending inventories and annualized cost of goods sold (based on the most recent quarterly cost of goods sold). Net cash provided by operating activities decreased to $5.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $8.1 million for the same period in the prior year. The primary drivers of the decline in operating cash flows were the net income of $4.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with net income of $20.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010, and a lower increase in current liabilities, offset by a decrease in accounts receivable when compared with the change in that balance during the three months ended June 30, 2010. DSO for the quarter was five days higher than the same period in the prior year, primarily due to greater sales linearity in the three months ended June 30, 2010. Typical payment terms require customers to pay for product sales generally within 30 to 60 days. However, terms may vary by customer type, by country and by selling season. Extended payment terms are sometimes offered to a limited number of customers during the second and third fiscal quarters. The Company does not modify payment terms on existing receivables, but may offer discounts for early payment. Inventory turns for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were slightly lower than that in the three months ended June 30, 2010.

inventory valuation reserves and supplier liability for components related to the Company’s now discontinued Revue product by $30�7 million during fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, with a

Threshold Convention—Historically, the Company’s practice was to apply an accounting convention to immediately expense the entire purchase price of all property and equipment that cost less than certain dollar thresholds instead of capitalizing and depreciating such property and equipment over its useful life� The Company determined that the thresholds utilized were incorrect and resulted in a cumulative understatement of retained earnings as of March 31, 2009 of $7�5 million, which the Company corrected through an increase to opening retained earnings as of that date� The impact of the correction also resulted in an increase in cost of goods sold and operating expense and decrease in operating income of $1�6 million in fiscal year 2010 and a decrease in cost of goods sold and operating expense and increase in operating income of $2�4 million in fiscal year 2011� (3) Settlement Accrual—The Company determined that it incorrectly recorded a release of a legal settlement accrual of $1�3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 instead of in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 as the contingency was resolved before the Annual Report on Form 10-K of fiscal year 2011 was issued� The impact of this adjustment was an increase in operating income by $1�3 million in fiscal year 2011 and a corresponding decrease of operating income for the same amount in fiscal year 2012� (4) Other Adjustments—The Company is also correcting a number of other immaterial errors which were previously recorded in prior periods as out-of-period adjustments and are now being revised to report them in the correct period as well as to correct other immaterial misstatements that were previously uncorrected� Among the corrections, the Company is correcting its accrual for workers compensation, liability for certain of its defined benefit pension plans, balance sheet reclassifications and tax impact of the above adjustments� QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES AbOUT MARkET RISk Market Risk Market risk represents the potential for loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments� As a global concern, we face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates� These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material adverse impact on our financial results� Foreign Currency Exchange Rates We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk as we transact business in multiple foreign currencies, including exposure related to anticipated sales, anticipated purchases and assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U�S� Dollar� Logitech transacts business in over 30 currencies worldwide, of which the most significant to operations are the Euro, Chinese Renminbi, Australian Dollar, Taiwanese Dollar, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Japanese Yen and Mexican Peso� The functional currency of our operations is primarily the U�S� Dollar� To a lesser extent, certain operations use the Swiss Franc, or the local currency of the country as their functional currencies� Accordingly, unrealized foreign currency gains or losses resulting from the translation of net assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies to the U�S� Dollar are accumulated in the cumulative translation adjustment component of other

transactions� Gains and losses in the fair value of the effective portion of the hedges are deferred as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss until the hedged inventory purchases are sold, at which time the gains or losses are reclassified to cost of goods sold� The Company assesses the effectiveness of the hedges by comparing changes in the spot rate of the currency underlying the forward contract with changes in the spot rate of the currency in which the forecasted transaction will be consummated� If the underlying transaction being hedged fails to occur or if a portion of the hedge does not generate offsetting changes in the foreign currency exposure of forecasted inventory purchases, the Company immediately recognizes the gain or loss on the associated financial instrument in other income (expense), net� Such gains and losses were not material during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012� Cash flows from such hedges are classified as operating activities in the

forward contracts outstanding related to forecasted inventory purchases were $51�8 million (€37�6 million), and $38�5 million (€30�1 million), respectively� Deferred realized losses of $0�3 million are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of March 31, 2014, and are expected to be reclassified to cost of goods sold when the related inventory is sold� Deferred unrealized losses of $0�2 million related to open cash flow hedges are also recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of March 31, 2014 and these forward contracts will be revalued in future periods until the related inventory is sold, at which time the resulting gains or losses will be reclassified to cost of goods sold� We also enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the short-term effects of foreign currency fluctuations on certain foreign currency receivables or payables� These forward contracts generally mature within three months� We may also enter into foreign exchange swap contracts to economically extend the terms of its foreign exchange forward contracts� The primary risk managed by using forward and swap contracts is the foreign currency exchange rate risk� The gains or losses on foreign exchange forward contracts are recognized in earnings based on the changes in fair value� Cash flows from these contracts are classified as operating activities in the

which we have forward or swap contracts, an unrealized gain of $6�2 million in our forward foreign exchange contract portfolio would have occurred� If the U�S� Dollar had depreciated by 10% compared with the foreign currencies in which we have forward or swap contracts, a $9�0 million unrealized loss in our forward foreign exchange contract portfolio would have occurred� Interest Rates Changes in interest rates could impact our future interest income on our cash equivalents and investment securities� We prepared sensitivity analyses of our interest rate exposures to assess the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates� Based on the results of these analyses, a 100 basis point decrease or increase in interest rates from the March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 period end rates

Refer to section 2.2 for more information on the Company’s authorized and conditional capital. 2.2 Details on the Company’s Authorized and Conditional Share Capital Authorized share capital. Under Swiss corporate law the total nominal par value of the shares authorized by shareholders for future issuance, other than to cover derivative securities, is referred to as authorized share capital. As of March 31, 2014, Logitech has no authorized share capital. Conditional share capital. Under Swiss corporate law the total nominal par value of the shares authorized by shareholders for future issuance on the conversion or exercise of derivative securities issued by a company is referred to as conditional share capital. Under Swiss law a company must have sufficient conditional capital or available treasury shares to cover any conversion rights under derivative securities at the time the derivative securities are issued. Pursuant to Article 25 of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the share capital of the Company may be increased by CHF 6,250,000 through the issuance of up to 25,000,000 shares with a par value of CHF 0.25 each.

Although the Company has been authorized by its shareholders to use conditional capital to meet its obligations to deliver shares as a result of employee purchases or exercises under its employee equity incentive plans, the Company has for some years used shares held in treasury to fulfill its obligations under the plans. In addition, pursuant to Article 26 of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the share capital of the Company may also be increased by CHF 6,250,000 through the issuance of up to 25,000,000 shares with a par value of CHF 0.25 each.

The Board of Directors may limit or withdraw the shareholders’ right to subscribe for the bonds by preference for valid reasons, in particular (a) if the bonds are issued in connection with the financing or refinancing of the acquisition of one or more companies, businesses or parts of businesses, or (b) to facilitate the placement of the bonds on the international markets or to increase the security holder base of the Company.

The Company’s share buyback program is expected to remain in effect for a period of three years. Shares may be repurchased from time to time on the open market, through block trades or otherwise.

Logitech International S.A. has only one category of shares – registered shares with a par value of CHF 0.25 per share. Each of the 173,106,620 issued shares carries the same rights. There are no preferential rights. However, a shareholder must be entered in the share register of the Company to exercise voting rights and the rights deriving therefrom (such as the right to convene a general meeting of shareholders or the right to put an item on the meeting’s agenda). Refer to section 6 for an outline of participation rights of the Company’s shareholders. Each share entitles its owner to dividends declared, even if the owner is not registered in the share register of the Company. Under Swiss law, a company pays dividends upon approval by its shareholders. This request for shareholder approval typically follows the recommendation of the Board. Until last year, other than a one-time distribution to shareholders of additional paid-in capital out of its capital contribution reserves in fiscal year 2012, Logitech had not paid dividends since 1996, using retained earnings to invest in the growth of the Company and, in more recent years, to repurchase the Company’s shares. Last year, the Board proposed that, beginning with fiscal year 2013 and subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders and statutory auditors each year, Logitech distribute a recurring annual gross dividend. Last year, Logitech distributed a gross dividend of CHF 0.21 per share. On November 12, 2014, the Board approved, subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders and other Swiss statutory requirements, a dividend of CHF 0.2625 per share. t R o p e R L A u N N A 210 211 <12345678> JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 212 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 213 OPERATOR JoyD Unless this right is restricted in compliance with Swiss law and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, shareholders have the pre-emptive right to subscribe for newly issued shares.

The Company has not issued certificates or equity securities that provide financial rights in consideration for services rendered or claims waived (referred to as “bonus certificates,” “bons de jouissance,” or “Genussscheine”). 2.6 Limitations on Transferability and Nominee Registration The Company and its agent, Compushare, as U.S. transfer agent, maintain a share register that lists the names of the registered owners of the Company’s shares. Registration in the share register occurs upon request and is not subject to any conditions. Nominee companies and trustees can be entered into the share register with voting rights. There are no restrictions on transfers of shares under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Swiss law. However, only holders of shares that are recorded in the share register are recognized as shareholders, and a transfer of shares reflected in the share register is recognized by the Company only to the extent we are notified of the transfer. Refer to section 6.1 for the conditions for exercise of shareholders’ voting rights. 2.7 Conversion and Option Rights Logitech does not have any outstanding bonds or other publicly traded securities with conversion rights and has not issued warrants on its shares. Logitech has issued stock options, including performance-based stock options and premium-priced stock options, and restricted stock units, including performance-based restricted stock units, to its employees and directors.

Shareholders’ Participation Rights 6.1 Exercise and Limitations to Shareholders’ Voting Rights Each registered share confers the right to one vote at a general meeting of shareholders. There are no limitations to the number of voting rights that a shareholder or group of shareholders is entitled to exercise, and there are no preferential voting rights. To exercise voting rights at a general meeting of shareholders, a shareholder must have registered their shares by the date set by the Board of Directors for the closing of the share register before each general meeting of shareholders. Refer to section 2.6 for more information on the registration process. Any shareholder may be represented at a meeting by a person of its choice who need not be a shareholder of the Company. The power of attorney must be made in writing. The use of a form prepared by the Company may be required. There are currently no limitations under Swiss law or in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation restricting the rights of shareholders outside Switzerland to hold or vote Logitech shares. 6.2 Shareholders’ Resolutions for which a Particular Majority is Required In general, the resolutions of the general meeting of shareholders are passed with a simple majority of the votes cast. However, a number of resolutions may only be passed with a majority of two-thirds of the votes represented, including the following. • change in the Company’s corporate purpose; • creation of shares with privileged voting rights; • restriction of the transferability of the shares; • creation of authorized or conditional capital; • capital increases to be paid-in by means of existing reserves, against contributions in kind, or conducted with a view to the acquisition of specific assets; • grant of special benefits; • suppression or limitation of the shareholders’ preferential subscription right; • change of the registered office of the Company; and • liquidation of the Company. t R o p e R L A u N N A 214 215 <12345678> JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL <12345678> DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 216 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 217 OPERATOR JoyD 6.3 Convocation of the General Meeting of Shareholders The Board of Directors generally convenes a general meeting of shareholders. The convocation notice is made in writing and under Swiss law must be sent to each registered shareholder at the address recorded in the share register at least 20 days prior to the meeting. Under our Articles of Incorporation one or more shareholders who represent together at least 10% of the share capital of the Company may demand that the Board of Directors convene a meeting. Such demands must be made in writing and received by the Board of Directors at least 60 days before the date of the proposed meeting. The Company has received an exemption from compliance with a Nasdaq listing standard that requires that the quorum for shareholder meetings be at least 331/3% of the outstanding voting shares. Under Swiss law, public companies do not have specific quorum requirements for shareholder meetings. Accordingly, Logitech, like most other Swiss public companies, does not observe quorum requirements with respect to its shareholder meetings. In compliance with Swiss law, Logitech sends an invitation to all of its registered shareholders and publishes the notice of the meeting in the Swiss financial press. It also sends a proxy statement, or a notice of availability of the proxy statement, in either case prepared in accordance with U.S. securities laws, to all registered shareholders and all beneficial shareholders where requested by the registered shareholder or required by law. Logitech has combined the invitation required under Swiss law and the proxy statement required under U.S. law into one document, titled Invitation and Proxy Statement, for its 2014 Annual General Meeting, and combined it with its Annual Report required under Swiss law and U.S. law to create one convenient document for shareholders. Also, to encourage attendance, Logitech holds its Annual General Meeting close to its operations in Switzerland. 6.4 Shareholders’ Right to Place Items on the Agenda of a Meeting Under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, one or more registered shareholders who together represent shares representing at least the lesser of (i) one percent of the Company’s issued share capital or (ii) an aggregate par value of one million Swiss francs, may demand that an item be placed on the agenda of a meeting of shareholders. A request to place an item on the meeting agenda must be in writing, describe the proposal and be received by our Board of Directors at least 60 days prior to the date of the meeting. Demands by registered shareholders to place an item on the agenda of a meeting of shareholders should be sent to: Secretary to the Board of Directors, Logitech International S.A., EPFL – Quartier de l’Innovation, Daniel Borel Innovation Center 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland, or c/o Logitech Inc., 7600 Gateway Boulevard, Newark, CA 94560, USA. 6.5 Registration in the Company’s Share Register Registration into the Company’s share register, or the sub-register maintained by the Company’s U.S. transfer agent, Compushare, occurs upon request and is not subject to any condition. The Company’s share register closes before a general meeting of shareholders on a date designated by the Board of Directors. Only those shareholders who are registered in the share register on the day the share register is closed have the right to vote at the meeting. 7. Mandatory Offer and Change of Control Provisions 7.1 Mandatory Offer Under Swiss law any shareholder who acquires more than 331/3% of the voting rights of a Swiss company whose shares are listed in whole or in part in Switzerland is required to make an offer to acquire all listed equity securities of the company at a minimum price. Logitech International S.A.’s Articles of Incorporation do not remove this requirement. The Articles do not increase the participation threshold above which an offer must be made. Consequently, any person having acquired more than a third of the Company’s voting rights will be required to make an offer for all outstanding shares of the Company. 216 217 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 216 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 217 OPERATOR JoyD 7.2 Change of Control Provisions Please refer to our Compensation Report at pages 91 to 127 of our Annual Report, Invitation and Proxy Statement for the 2014 Annual General Meeting, of which this Report is a part, for information on the severance and change of control agreements in place with Logitech’s executive officers, and regarding the potential payments in the event of termination of service of an executive officer or a change-in-control of Logitech. 8.

for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and the requirements of Swiss law� This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining an internal control system relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error� The Board of Directors is further responsible for selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances� Auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit� We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law, Swiss Auditing Standards and auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America� Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement� An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements� The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error� In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers the internal control system relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control system� An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements� We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion� Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2014 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, the results of operations and

Note 2 — Restatement and Revision of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements As the Company announced on May 21, 2014, the Audit Committee, with the assistance of independent advisors, began an independent investigation of certain accounting matters related to the Company’s previously issued financial statements. On September 3, 2014, the Company announced that, in connection with this investigation, the Audit Committee, on the recommendation of management, concluded that the Company’s previously issued financial statements for fiscal years 2011 and 2012 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 could no longer be relied on due to an accounting misstatement for inventory valuation reserves for Logitech’s now-discontinued Revue product. As a result, the Company recorded an adjustment to increase cost of goods sold and to increase inventory valuation reserves and the accrual for supplier liability for components related to the Company’s now discontinued Revue product by $30.7 million during fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, with a corresponding decrease to cost of goods sold in fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. As a result, net income and net income per share for fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 was reduced by $30.7 million and $0.17 per share, respectively, with a corresponding increase in fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. In conjunction with recording of the adjustments related to this restatement, the Company recorded other immaterial corrections to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. The Audit Committee has completed its independent investigation and found that, in connection with its quarterly close processes, up until June 2013, the Company’s finance organization would compile lists of financial items, which included significant accounting entries recorded during the quarter, late accounting entries, disclosure items and certain other items with potential accounting implications. The lists used to track these financial items appear to have been primarily shared within certain parts of the Company’s finance organization and were not shared with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Typically, there were between approximately 229 <12345678>ANNuAl RepoRtJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 230 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 231 OPERATOR JoyD Note 2 — Restatement and Revision of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) thirty to fifty items per quarter on these lists and there were multiple versions of these lists per quarter, as items were added, removed and changed. Some of the items on the list were discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm while others were not. As part of the independent investigation, the Company determined that nine historical items from these lists during a five year period should have been recorded in an earlier period or a different amount should have been recorded. The largest item relates to the now-discontinued Revue product and is the cause for the restatement. Two items—the warranty accrual and the amortization of certain intangible assets—were on the lists in prior periods and were not addressed in a timely manner before the Company corrected them in its revised Form 10-K/A filed on August 7, 2013. Certain former finance employees signed the May 30, 2013 management representation letter to the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm without disclosing these issues and, as a result, the management representation letter was inaccurate on this point. Six items are not material individually or in aggregate to any of the annual or interim periods reported but are nevertheless being corrected in these restated consolidated financial statements. There are two elements to the restatement related to the Revue product: (1) a lower of cost or market (“LCM”) charge based on the net realizable value of finished goods and work in process on-hand inventory and non-cancelable orders for such inventory, and (2) an excess and obsolescence charge for non-cancelable orders for inventory components. The Audit Committee found that certain former members of the finance organization had information that was not considered, that showed a future loss that was estimable and probable before the filing of the Form 10-K on May 27, 2011 and that such loss was not recorded in the Company’s fiscal year 2011 financial statements. Certain former members of the finance organization erroneously accounted for the LCM charge in fiscal year 2011 based on the current price or on price reductions approved by management instead of considering available contemporaneous evidence of anticipated future price reductions and losses which were estimable and probable at the time. In addition, the Audit Committee found that a management representation letter dated May 27, 2011 to the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm incorrectly stated that probable future pricing adjustments were considered in the LCM calculation. With respect to the Revue components, certain former members of the finance organization did not consider all available information and therefore did not record a charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 for non-cancelable orders related to components considered excess and obsolete. The analysis erroneously assumed the components would be manufactured into finished goods, though there was information available that showed that the components would not be manufactured into finished goods. This information was not reflected in the Company’s accounting or provided to the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee found that the Company did not have an adequate basis for the historical accounting treatment of the components in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011. The restated and revised financial statements included the following adjustments: (1) Inventory Valuation Reserve—As described above, the Company determined that there was a material accounting misstatement for Logitech’s now-discontinued Revue product in fiscal years 2012 and 2011. As a result, the Company recorded an adjustment to increase cost of goods sold, and to increase inventory valuation reserves and supplier liability for components related to the Company’s now discontinued Revue product by $30.7 million during fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, with a corresponding decrease to cost of goods sold during fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. 230 231 LOGITECH INTERNATIONAL S.A.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)<12345678>JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 230 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 231 OPERATOR JoyD Note 2 — Restatement and Revision of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) (2) Property Plant and Equipment Capitalization Threshold Convention—Historically, the Company’s practice was to apply an accounting convention to immediately expense the entire purchase price of all property and equipment that cost less than certain dollar thresholds instead of capitalizing and depreciating such property and equipment over its useful life. The Company determined that the thresholds utilized were incorrect and resulted in a cumulative understatement of net income and retained earnings through March 31, 2011 of $8.3 million, which the company corrected through an increase to opening retained earnings as of that date. The impact of the correction also resulted in a decrease in cost of goods sold and operating expense and increase in operating income of $0.1 million in fiscal year 2012 and an increase in cost of goods sold and operating expense and increase in operating loss of $1.3 million in fiscal year 2013. (3) Settlement Accrual—The Company determined that it incorrectly recorded a release of a legal settlement accrual of $1.3 million in fiscal year 2012 instead of correctly in fiscal year 2011 as the contingency was resolved before the Annual Report Form 10-K of fiscal year 2011 was issued. The impact of this adjustment was an increase in operating income by $1.3 million in fiscal year 2011 and a corresponding decrease of operating income for the same amount in fiscal year 2012. (4) Other Adjustments—The Company is also correcting a number of other immaterial errors which were previously recorded in prior periods as out-of-period adjustments and are now being revised to report them in the correct period as well as to correct other immaterial errors that were previously uncorrected. Among the corrections, the Company is correcting its accrual for worker compensation, liability for certain of its defined benefit pension plans, balance sheet reclassifications, cash flow reclassifications and tax impact of the above adjustments. 230 231 LOGITECH INTERNATIONAL S.A.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)<12345678>ANNuAl RepoRtJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 232 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 233 OPERATOR JoyD Note 2 — Restatement and Revision of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) Consolidated Statements of Operations The following table presents the impact of correcting adjustments on the Company’s previously-reported consolidated statements of operations for fiscal years 2013 and 2012 (in thousands): Year ended March 31, 2013 Year ended March 31, 2012 — 408(2) — (491)(4) (523) 396(2) (108)(4) 324(2) 481(4) 214(2) 343(4) Net sales . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 2,099,883 1,389,726 Cost of goods sold . . . . . . . . . . . . .

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP (accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America). Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year ends on March 31. Interim quarters are thirteen-week periods, each ending on a Friday. For purposes of presentation, the Company has indicated its quarterly periods as ending on the month end. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Examples of significant estimates and assumptions made by management involve the fair value of goodwill, warranty liabilities, accruals for discretionary customer programs, sales return reserves, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, uncertain tax positions, and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that may impact the Company in the future, actual results could differ from those estimates. Foreign Currencies The functional currency of the Company’s operations is primarily the U.S. Dollar. To a lesser extent, certain operations use the Euro, Chinese Renminbi, Swiss Franc, or other local currencies as their functional currencies. The financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than the U.S. Dollar are translated to U.S. Dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities and monthly average rates for net sales, income and expenses. Cumulative translation gains and losses are included as a component of shareholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss). Gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in currencies other than a subsidiary’s functional currency are reported in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized when all of the following criteria are met: • evidence of an arrangement between the Company and the customer exists; • delivery has occurred and title and risk of loss has transferred to the customer; • the price of the product is fixed or determinable; and • collectability of the receivable is reasonably assured. For sales of most hardware peripherals products and hardware bundled with software incidental to its functionality, these criteria are met at the time delivery has occurred and title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer. The Company’s video conferencing segment has multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements that include both undelivered software elements and hardware with software essential to its functionality. The Company uses the following hierarchy to determine the relative selling price for allocating revenue to the deliverables: (i) VSOE (vendor specific objective evidence) of fair value, if available; (ii) TPE (third party evidence), if VSOE is not 236 237 LOGITECH INTERNATIONAL S.A.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)<12345678>JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 236 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 237 OPERATOR JoyD Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) available; or (iii) ESP (best estimate of selling price), if neither VSOE nor TPE are available. Management judgment must be used to determine the appropriate deliverables and associated relative selling prices. The Company has identified Logitech Revue, discontinued in fiscal year 2013, and the Lifesize video conferencing products as products sold with software components that qualify as multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. Lifesize products include the following deliverables: • Non-software deliverables • Hardware with software essential to the functionality of the hardware device delivered at time of sale • Maintenance for hardware with essential software, including future when-and-if-available unspecified upgrades • Other services, including training and installation • Software deliverables • Non-essential software • Maintenance for non-essential software, including future when-and-if available unspecified upgrades The relative selling price for Lifesize hardware with essential software and non-essential software is based on ESP, as VSOE and TPE cannot be established due to variable price discounting. Key factors considered in developing ESP are historical selling prices of the product, pricing of substantially similar products, and other market conditions. Lifesize sells maintenance for non-essential software, maintenance for hardware with essential software, and other services on a standalone basis, and therefore has established VSOE for those deliverables. The consideration received for multiple element arrangements consisting of both non-software and software deliverables is allocated based on relative selling prices to the non-software deliverables and the software deliverables as a group. Amounts allocated to non-software-related elements, such as delivered hardware with essential software, are recognized at the time of sale provided that the other conditions for revenue recognition have been met. Amounts allocated to maintenance services for hardware and essential software are deferred and recognized ratably over the maintenance period. Amounts allocated to other services are deferred and recognized upon completion of services. Amounts allocated to software deliverables such as non-essential software and related services are further allocated to the individual deliverables within the software group. The VSOE of non-essential software-related maintenance are deferred and recognized ratably over the maintenance period. The residual value of the amounts allocated to software-related elements is recognized at the time of sale. Revenues from sales to distributors and authorized resellers are recognized upon shipment net of estimated product returns and expected payments for cooperative marketing arrangements, customer incentive programs and pricing programs. The estimated cost of these programs is recorded as a reduction of sales or as an operating expense, if the Company receives a separately identifiable benefit from the customer and can reasonably estimate the fair value of that benefit. Significant management judgment and estimates must be used to determine the cost of these programs in any accounting period. The Company grants limited rights to return product. Return rights vary by customer, and range from just the right to return defective product to stock rotation rights limited to a percentage approved by management. Estimates of expected future product returns are recognized at the time of sale based on analyses of historical return trends by customer and by product, inventories owned by and located at distributors and retailers, current customer demand, current operating conditions, and other relevant customer and product information. Upon recognition the Company reduces sales and cost of sales for the estimated return. Return trends are influenced by product life cycle status, 236 237 LOGITECH INTERNATIONAL S.A.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)<12345678>ANNuAl RepoRtJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 238 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 239 OPERATOR JoyD Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) new product introductions, market acceptance of products, sales levels, product sell-through, the type of customer, seasonality, product quality issues, competitive pressures, operational policies and procedures, and other factors. Return rates can fluctuate over time, but are sufficiently predictable to allow the Company to estimate expected future product returns. The Company enters into cooperative marketing arrangements with many of its distribution and retail customers, and with certain indirect partners, allowing customers to receive a credit equal to a set percentage of their purchases of the Company’s products, or a fixed dollar credit for various marketing programs. The objective of these arrangements is to encourage advertising and promotional events to increase sales of the Company’s products. Accruals for these marketing arrangements are recorded at the later of time of sale or time of commitment, based on negotiated terms, historical experience and inventory levels in the channel. Customer incentive programs include performance-based incentives and consumer rebates. The Company offers performance-based incentives to its distribution customers, retail customers and indirect partners based on pre-determined performance criteria. Accruals for performance-based incentives are recognized as a reduction of the sale price at the time of sale. Estimates of required accruals are determined based on negotiated terms, consideration of historical experience, anticipated volume of future purchases, and inventory levels in the channel. Consumer rebates are offered from time to time at the Company’s discretion for the primary benefit of end-users. Accruals for the estimated costs of consumer rebates and similar incentives are recorded at the later of time of sale or when the incentive is offered, based on the specific terms and conditions. Certain incentive programs, including consumer rebates, require management to estimate the number of customers who will actually redeem the incentive based on historical experience and the specific terms and conditions of particular programs. The Company has agreements with certain of its customers that contain terms allowing price protection credits to be issued in the event of a subsequent price reduction. At management’s discretion, the Company also offers special pricing discounts to certain customers. Special pricing discounts are usually offered only for limited time periods or for sales of selected products to specific indirect partners. Management’s decision to make price reductions is influenced by product life cycle stage, market acceptance of products, the competitive environment, new product introductions and other factors. Accruals for estimated expected future pricing actions are recognized at the time of sale based on analyses of historical pricing actions by customer and by products, inventories owned by and located at distributors and retailers, current customer demand, current operating conditions, and other relevant customer and product information, such as stage of product life-cycle. The Company regularly evaluates the adequacy of its estimates for product returns, cooperative marketing arrangements, customer incentive programs and pricing programs. Future market conditions and product transitions may require the Company to take action to change such programs. In addition, when the variables used to estimate these costs change, or if actual costs differ significantly from the estimates, the Company would be required to record incremental increases or reductions to sales, cost of goods sold or increase operating expenses. If, at any future time, the Company becomes unable to reasonably estimate these costs, recognition of revenue might be deferred until products are sold to users, which would adversely impact sales in the period of transition. The Company’s shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. Research and Development Costs Costs related to research, design and development of products, which consist primarily of personnel, product design and infrastructure expenses, are charged to research and development expense as they are incurred. 238 239 LOGITECH INTERNATIONAL S.A.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)<12345678>JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 238 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 239 OPERATOR JoyD Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs are recorded as either a marketing and selling expense or a deduction from revenue. Advertising costs reimbursed by the Company to direct or indirect customers must have an identifiable benefit and an estimable fair value in order to be classified as an operating expense. If these criteria are not met, the cost is classified as a reduction of revenue. Advertising costs during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $161.2 million, $165.8 million and $168.0 million, respectively. Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions to limit exposure with any one financial institution, but is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by financial institutions to the extent that cash balances with individual financial institutions are in excess of amounts that are insured. The Company sells to large OEMs, distributors and retailers and, as a result, maintains individually significant receivable balances with such customers. In fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, one customer in the peripherals operating segment represented 14%, 11% and 14% of net sales, respectively. No other customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s total net sales during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012. As of both March 31, 2014 and 2013, one customer represented 14% of total accounts receivable. No other customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s total accounts receivable at either March 31, 2014 or 2013. Typical payment terms require customers to pay for product sales generally within 30 to 60 days; however terms may vary by customer type, by country and by selling season. Extended payment terms are sometimes offered to a limited number of customers during the second and third fiscal quarters. The Company does not modify payment terms on existing receivables. The Company’s OEM customers tend to be well-capitalized multi-national companies, while distributors and key retailers may be less well-capitalized. The Company manages its accounts receivable credit risk through ongoing credit evaluation of its customers’ financial condition. The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers. Allowances for Doubtful Accounts Allowances for doubtful accounts are maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make required payments. The allowances are based on the Company’s regular assessment of the credit worthiness and financial condition of specific customers, as well as its historical experience with bad debts and customer deductions, receivables aging, current economic trends, geographic or country-specific risks and the financial condition of its distribution channels. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Costs are computed under the standard cost method, which approximates actual costs determined on the first-in, first-out basis. The Company records write-downs of inventories which are obsolete or in excess of anticipated demand or market value based on a consideration of marketability and product life cycle stage, product development plans, component cost trends, demand forecasts, historical net sales, and assumptions about future demand and market conditions. 238 239 LOGITECH INTERNATIONAL S.A.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)<12345678>ANNuAl RepoRtJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 240 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 241 OPERATOR JoyD Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Investments The Company’s investment securities portfolio consists of bank time deposits and marketable securities related to a deferred compensation plan. The bank time deposits are classified as cash equivalents and are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. The marketable securities related to the deferred compensation plan are classified as non-current trading investments, as they are intended to fund the deferred compensation plan long-term liability. Trading activity is directed by plan participants and is not intended to create short-term gains for the benefit of the Company. These securities are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. Earnings, gains and losses on trading investments are included in other income (expense), net. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Additions and improvements are capitalized, and maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalizes the cost of software developed for internal use in connection with major projects. Costs incurred during the feasibility stage are expensed, whereas direct costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method. Plant and buildings are depreciated over estimated useful lives from ten to twenty-five years, equipment over useful lives from three to five years, internal-use software development over useful lives of three to seven years and leasehold improvements over the lesser of the useful life of the improvement, up to ten years, or the term of the lease. When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are relieved from the accounts and the net gain or loss is included in the determination of other income (expense), net. Valuation of Long‑Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, and finite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events indicate that the carrying amounts might not be recoverable. Recoverability of property and equipment, and other finite-lived intangible assets is measured by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with those assets to their carrying values. If an asset is considered impaired, it is written down to fair value, which is determined based on the asset’s projected discounted cash flows or appraised value, depending on the nature of the asset. For purposes of recognition of an impairment for assets held for use, the Company groups assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identifiable. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The Company’s intangible assets principally include goodwill, acquired technology, trademarks, customer contracts, and customer relationships. Other intangible assets with finite lives, which include acquired technology, trademarks, customer contracts and customer relationships, and other are recorded at cost and amortized using the straight-line method over their useful lives ranging from one year to ten years. Intangible assets with indefinite lives, which include goodwill, are recorded at cost and evaluated at least annually for impairment. 240 241 LOGITECH INTERNATIONAL S.A.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)<12345678>JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 240 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 241 OPERATOR JoyD Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) In accordance with ASC Topic 350-10 (“ASC 350-10”) as it relates to Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company conducts its annual goodwill impairment analysis as of December 31 each year and as necessary if changes in facts and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting units may be less than its carrying amount. Events or changes in facts and circumstances that might indicate potential impairment of goodwill include company-specific factors, including, but not limited to, stock price volatility, market capitalization relative to net book value, and projected revenue, market growth and operating results. Determining the number of reporting units and the fair value of a reporting unit requires the Company to make judgments and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The Company has two reporting units: peripherals and video conferencing. The allocation of assets and liabilities to each of the reporting units also involves judgment and assumptions. FASB ASC 350-20 permits the Company to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it would not be required to perform the two-step impairment test for that reporting unit. The Company may elect to proceed directly to Step 1 without performing a qualitative assessment. Step 1 of the two-step impairment test involves measuring the recoverability of goodwill at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value is estimated using an income approach employing a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) and a market-based model. The DCF model is based on projected cash flows from the Company’s most recent forecast (“assessment forecast”) developed in connection with each of its reporting units to perform the goodwill impairment assessment. The assessment forecast is based on a number of key assumptions, including, but not limited to, discount rate, compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) during the forecast period, and terminal value. The terminal value is based on an exit price at the end of the assessment forecast using an earnings multiple applied to the final year of the assessment forecast. The discount rate is applied to the projected cash flows to reflect the risks inherent in the timing and amount of the projected cash flows, including the terminal value, and is derived from the weighted average cost of capital of market participants in similar businesses. The market approach model is based on applying certain revenue and earnings multiples of comparable companies relevant to each of the Company’s reporting units to the respective revenue and earnings metrics of its reporting units. To test the reasonableness of the fair values indicated by the income approach and the market-based approach, the Company also assess the implied premium of the aggregate fair value over the market capitalization considered attributable to an acquisition control premium, which is the price in excess of a stock market’s price that investors would typically pay to gain control of an entity. The DCF model and the market approach require the exercise of significant judgment, including assumptions about appropriate discount rates, long-term growth rates for purposes of determining a terminal value at the end of the discrete forecast period, economic expectations, timing of expected future cash flows, and expectations of returns on equity that will be achieved. Such assumptions are subject to change as a result of changing economic and competitive conditions. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value as determined by these assessments, goodwill is considered impaired, and Step 2 of the analysis is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. Step 2 measures the impairment loss by allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to its assets and liabilities other than goodwill, comparing the resulting implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount, and recording an impairment charge for the difference. 240 241 LOGITECH INTERNATIONAL S.A.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)<12345678>ANNuAl RepoRtJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 242 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 243 OPERATOR JoyD Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Income Taxes The Company provides for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. In estimating future tax consequences, expected future events are taken into consideration, with the exception of potential tax law or tax rate changes. The Company’s assessment of uncertain tax positions requires that management make estimates and judgments about the application of tax law, the expected resolution of uncertain tax positions and other matters. In the event that uncertain tax positions are resolved for amounts different than the Company’s estimates, or the related statutes of limitations expire without the assessment of additional income taxes, the Company will be required to adjust the amounts of the related assets and liabilities in the period in which such events occur. Such adjustments may have a material impact on the Company’s income tax provision and its results of operations. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value due to their short maturities. The Company’s trading investments related to the deferred compensation plan are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices. Net Income (Loss) per Share Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average outstanding shares. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average outstanding shares and dilutive share equivalents. Dilutive share equivalents consist of share-based compensation awards, including stock options, employee share purchase plan, and restricted stock. The dilutive effect of in-the-money share-based compensation awards is calculated based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method, which assumes that the amount used to repurchase shares includes the amount the employee must pay for exercising share-based awards, the amount of compensation cost not yet recognized for future service, and the amount of tax impact that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when the award becomes deductible. Share‑Based Compensation Expense Share-based compensation expense includes compensation expense, reduced for estimated forfeitures, for share-based compensation awards granted based on the grant-date fair value. The grant date fair value for stock options and stock purchase rights is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing valuation model. The grant date fair value of RSUs (“restricted stock units”) which vest upon meeting certain market conditions is estimated using the Monte-Carlo simulation method. The grant date fair value of time-based RSUs is calculated based on the market price on the date of grant. Excess tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options are classified as cash flows from financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Excess tax benefits are realized tax benefits from tax deductions for exercised options in excess of the deferred tax asset attributable to share-based compensation costs for such options. 242 243 LOGITECH INTERNATIONAL S.A.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)<12345678>JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 242 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 243 OPERATOR JoyD Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) The Company will recognize a benefit from share-based compensation in paid-in capital only if an incremental tax benefit is realized after all other available tax attributes have been utilized. For income tax footnote disclosure, the Company has elected to offset deferred tax assets from share-based compensation against the valuation allowance related to the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards from accumulated tax benefits. The Company will recognize these tax benefits in paid-in capital when the deduction reduces cash taxes payable. In addition, the Company has elected to account for the direct benefits of share-based compensation on the research tax credit through continuing operations. Product Warranty Accrual The Company estimates cost of product warranties at the time the related revenue is recognized based on historical and projected warranty claim rates, historical and projected costs, and knowledge of specific product failures that are outside of the Company’s typical experience. Each quarter, the Company reevaluates estimates to assess the adequacy of recorded warranty liabilities considering the size of the installed base of products subject to warranty protection and adjusts the amounts as necessary. If actual product failure rates or repair costs differ from estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liabilities would be required and could materially affect the Company’s results of operations. Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the total change in shareholders’ equity during the period other than from transactions with shareholders. Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments from those entities not using the U.S. Dollar as their functional currency, unrealized gains and losses on marketable equity securities, net deferred gains and losses and prior service costs for defined benefit pension plans, and net deferred gains and losses on hedging activity. Treasury Shares The Company periodically repurchases shares in the market at fair value. Treasury shares repurchased are recorded at cost as a reduction of total shareholders’ equity. Treasury shares held may be reissued to satisfy the exercise of employee stock options and purchase rights, the vesting of restricted stock units, and acquisitions, or may be cancelled with shareholder approval. Treasury shares that are reissued are accounted for using the first-in, first-out basis. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the short-term effects of foreign currency fluctuations on certain foreign currency receivables or payables and to hedge against exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to its subsidiaries’ forecasted inventory purchases. These forward contracts generally mature within one to three months. The Company may also enter into foreign exchange swap contracts to extend the terms of its foreign exchange forward contracts. Gains and losses for changes in the fair value of the effective portion of the Company’s forward contracts related to forecasted inventory purchases are deferred as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged inventory purchases are sold, at which time the gains or losses are reclassified to cost of goods sold. Gains or losses for changes in the fair value on forward contracts that offset translation losses or gains on foreign currency receivables or payables are recognized are included in other income (expense), net. 242 243 LOGITECH INTERNATIONAL S.A.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)<12345678>ANNuAl RepoRtJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 244 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 245 OPERATOR JoyD Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Restructuring Charges The Company’s restructuring charges consist of employee severance, one-time termination benefits and ongoing benefits related to the reduction of its workforce, lease exit costs, and other costs. Liabilities for costs associated with a restructuring activity are measured at fair value and are recognized when the liability is incurred, as opposed to when management commits to a restructuring plan. One-time termination benefits are expensed at the date the entity notifies the employee, unless the employee must provide future service, in which case the benefits are expensed ratably over the future service period. Ongoing benefits are expensed when restructuring activities are probable and the benefit amounts are estimable. Costs to terminate a lease before the end of its term are recognized when the property is vacated. Other costs primarily consist of legal, consulting, and other costs related to employee terminations and are expensed when incurred. Termination benefits are calculated based on regional benefit practices and local statutory requirements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This ASU provides explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry- specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard will be effective for the Company beginning April 1, 2017. Early application is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2012, the Company’s shareholders approved, and the Company paid, a one-time cash dividend of CHF 125.7 million ($133.5 million in U.S. Dollars), out of retained earnings to Logitech’s existing shareholders. The dividend qualified as a distribution of qualifying additional paid-in-capital. In May 2013, the Company announced its plan to issue an annual dividend on a recurring basis. In September 2013, the Company’s shareholders approved, and the Company paid, a cash dividend of CHF 33.7 million ($36.1 million in U.S. dollars) to the existing shareholders. The unvested or unexercised options and RSUs are not eligible for these dividends. The expected option life represents the weighted- average period the stock options or purchase offerings are expected to remain outstanding. The expected life is based on historical settlement rates, which the Company believes are most representative of future exercise and post- vesting termination behaviors. Expected share price volatility is based on historical volatility using the Company’s daily closing prices over the term of past options or purchase offerings. 246 247 LOGITECH INTERNATIONAL S.A.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)<12345678>ANNuAl RepoRtJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 248 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 249 OPERATOR JoyD Note 5 — Employee Benefit Plans (Continued) The Company considers the historical price volatility of its shares as most representative of future volatility. The risk-free interest rate assumptions are based upon the implied yield of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues appropriate for the term of the Company’s stock options or purchase offerings. The Company estimates option forfeitures at the time of grant and revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and records share-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. As of March 31, 2014, the exercise price of outstanding options ranged from $1 to $35 per option, the weighted average remaining contractual life of outstanding options was 4.9 years, and the weighted average remaining contractual life of exercisable options was 3.6 years. As of March 31, 2014, the aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding options was $20.1 million and the aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable options was $6.5 million. The total number of fully vested in-the-money options exercisable as of March 31, 2014 was 2,500,762 and 2,756,753 options were unvested, of which 2,370,808 are expected to vest, based on an estimated forfeiture rate of 14%.

The expected life of the market-based RSUs is the service period at the end of which the RSUs will vest if the market conditions are satisfied. The volatility assumption is based on the actual volatility of Logitech’s daily closing share price over a look-back period equal to the years of expected life. The risk free interest rate is derived from the yield on U.S. Treasury Bonds for a term of the same number of years as the expected life. As of March 31, 2014, the grant date fair values of outstanding RSUs ranged from $6 to $20 per RSU. In April 2012, Logitech’s Board of Directors approved the 2012 Stock Inducement Equity Plan.

Defined Contribution Plans Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have defined contribution employee benefit plans covering all or a portion of their employees. Contributions to these plans are discretionary for certain plans and are based on specified or statutory requirements for others. The charges to expense for these plans for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, were $6.6 million, $6.9 million and $11.6 million, respectively. Defined Benefit Plans Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries sponsor defined benefit pension plans or non-retirement post-employment benefits covering substantially all of their employees. Benefits are provided based on employees’ years of service and earnings, or in accordance with applicable employee benefit regulations. The Company’s practice is to fund amounts sufficient to meet the requirements set forth in the applicable employee benefit and tax regulations. During fiscal year 2013, the Company’s Swiss defined benefit pension plan was subject to re-measurement due to the number of plan participants affected by the restructurings implemented during fiscal year 2013, as described in Note 15, Restructuring. The re-measurement resulted in the realization of $2.2 million in previously unrecognized losses which resided within accumulated other comprehensive loss and which the Company entirely recognized during fiscal year 2013. The Company’s restructuring plan implemented during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 resulted in an additional $1.2 million in previously unrecognized losses related to affected plan participants which resided within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and which the Company entirely recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. 248 249 LOGITECH INTERNATIONAL S.A.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)<12345678>ANNuAl RepoRtJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 250 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 251 OPERATOR JoyD Note 5 — Employee Benefit Plans (Continued) The Company recognizes the underfunded or overfunded status of defined benefit pension plans and non-retirement post-employment benefit obligations as an asset or liability in its consolidated balance sheets, and recognizes changes in the funded status of defined benefit pension plans in the year in which the changes occur through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is a component of shareholders’ equity.

The Company believes that a well-diversified investment portfolio will result in the highest attainable investment return with an acceptable level of overall risk. Investment strategies and allocation decisions are also governed by applicable governmental regulatory agencies. The Company’s investment strategy with respect to its largest defined benefit plan, which is available only to Swiss employees, is to invest in the following allocation ranges starting from January 2014: 20-55% for equities, 25-60% for bonds, and 0-10% for cash and cash equivalents. The Company also can invest in real estate funds, commodity funds, and hedge funds depend upon economic conditions. Prior to January 2014, the Company followed the following allocation ranges: 28-43% for equities, 33-63% for Swiss bonds, 5-15% for foreign bonds, 5-15% for hedge and investment funds, and 0-20% for cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s other defined benefit plans, which comprise 6.2% of total defined benefit plan assets as of March 31, 2014, have similar investment and allocation strategies.

In addition, during fiscal year 2014, the Company determined that a deferred tax liability related to U.S. flow-through investment of $0.9 million was erroneously presented as a deferred tax asset associated with “Accruals” as of March 31, 2013. The amount was properly reclassed from “Accruals” to “Acquired intangible assets and others” above. The reclassification adjustment has no impact in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows. Management regularly assesses the ability to realize deferred tax assets recorded in the Company’s entities based upon the weight of available evidence, including such factors as recent earnings history and expected future taxable income. In the event that the Company changes its determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, the Company will adjust its valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. The Company had a valuation allowance of $4.9 million at March 31, 2014, decreased from $6.0 million at March 31, 2013 primarily due to decrease in valuation allowance of $1.3 million for foreign tax credit carryforwards in the United States. The Company elected to deduct foreign taxes in lieu of tax credits in its fiscal year 2013 federal tax return in the United States. The Company had a valuation allowance of $2.6 million as of March 31, 2014 against deferred tax assets in the state of California of the United States. The remaining valuation allowance primarily represents $1.7 million for capital loss carryforwards in the United States and $0.6 million for various tax credit carryforwards. The Company determined that it is more likely than not that the Company would not generate sufficient taxable income in the future to utilize such deferred tax assets. 256 257 LOGITECH INTERNATIONAL S.A.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)<12345678>JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 256 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 257 OPERATOR JoyD Note 7 — Income Taxes (Continued) Deferred tax assets relating to tax benefits of employee stock grants have been reduced to reflect settlement activity in fiscal years 2014 and 2013. Settlement activity of grants in fiscal years 2014 and 2013 resulted in a “shortfall” in which tax deductions were less than previously recorded share-based compensation expense. The Company recorded a shortfall to equity of $2.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively, in fiscal years 2014 and 2013. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had foreign net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for income tax purposes of $196.0 million and $35.7 million, respectively, of which $136.2 million of the net operating loss carryforwards and $22.7 million of the tax credit carryforwards, if realized, will be credited to equity since they have not met the applicable realization criteria. Unused net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various dates in fiscal years 2016 to 2034. Certain net operating loss carryforwards in the United States relate to acquisitions and, as a result, are limited in the amount that can be utilized in any one year. The tax credit carryforwards will begin to expire in fiscal year 2019. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had capital loss carryforwards of $4.6 million. The loss will begin to expire in fiscal year 2016. Swiss income taxes and non-Swiss withholding taxes associated with the repatriation of earnings or for other temporary differences related to investments in non-Swiss subsidiaries have not been provided for, as the Company intends to reinvest the earnings of such subsidiaries indefinitely or the Company has concluded that no additional tax liability would arise on the distribution of such earnings. If these earnings were distributed to Switzerland in the form of dividends or otherwise, or if the shares of the relevant non-Swiss subsidiaries were sold or otherwise transferred, the Company may be subject to additional Swiss income taxes and non-Swiss withholding taxes. As of March 31, 2014, the cumulative amount of unremitted earnings of non-Swiss subsidiaries was $157.4 million. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred income tax liability related to these earnings is not practicable. The Company follows a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits due to uncertain tax positions was $91.0 million and $95.4 million, respectively, of which $86.1 million and $90.3 million would affect the effective income tax rate if recognized, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $93.1 million in non-current income taxes payable and $0.3 million in current income taxes payable, including interest and penalties, related to our income tax liability for uncertain tax positions. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had $98.8 million in non-current income taxes payable. 256 257 LOGITECH INTERNATIONAL S.A.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)<12345678>ANNuAl RepoRtJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 258 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 259 OPERATOR JoyD Note 7 — Income Taxes (Continued) The aggregate changes in gross unrecognized tax benefits in fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 were as follows (in thousands): March 31, 2011 (As Restated) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The Company recognized $1.1 million, $1.0 million and $1.2 million in interest and penalties in income tax expense during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company had $5.6 million, $6.6 million and $7.5 million of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, respectively. The Company files Swiss and foreign tax returns. For all these tax returns, the Company is generally not subject to tax examinations for years prior to fiscal year 2001. The Company is under examination and has received assessment notices in other tax jurisdictions. At this time, the Company is not able to estimate the potential impact that these examinations may have on its income tax expense. If the examinations are resolved unfavorably, there is a possibility they may have a material negative impact on its results of operations. Although the Company has adequately provided for uncertain tax positions, the provisions on these positions may change as revised estimates are made or the underlying matters are settled or otherwise resolved. During fiscal year 2015, the Company will continue to review its tax positions and provide for or reverse unrecognized tax benefits as issues arise. During the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could increase or decrease significantly due to changes in tax law in various jurisdictions, new tax audits and changes in the U.S. dollar as compared to foreign currencies. Excluding these factors, uncertain tax positions may decrease by as much as $16.0 million to $18.3 million primarily from the lapse of the statutes of limitations in various jurisdictions during the next 12 months. 258 259 LOGITECH INTERNATIONAL S.A.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)<12345678>JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 258 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 259 OPERATOR JoyD Note 8 — Balance Sheet Components The following table presents the components of certain balance sheet asset amounts as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands): Accounts receivable: Accounts receivable . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The Company utilizes the following three-level fair value hierarchy to establish the priorities of the inputs used to measure fair value: • Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. • Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of bank demand deposits and time deposits. The time deposits have original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Investment Securities The Company’s investment securities portfolio consists of marketable securities (money market and mutual funds) related to a deferred compensation plan at March 31, 2014 and 2013. The marketable securities related to the deferred compensation plan are classified as non-current other assets. Since participants in the deferred compensation plan may select the mutual funds in which their compensation deferrals are invested within the confines of the Rabbi Trust which holds the marketable securities, the Company has designated these marketable securities as trading investments, although there is no intent to actively buy and sell securities within the objective of generating profits on short-term differences in market prices. Management has classified the investments as non-current assets because final sale of the investments or realization of proceeds by plan participants is not expected within the Company’s normal operating cycle of one year. The marketable securities are recorded at a fair value of $16.6 million and $15.6 million as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, based on quoted market prices. Quoted market prices are observable inputs that are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Earnings, gains and losses on trading investments are included in other income (expense), net. Unrealized trading gains of $0.4 million, $0.5 million and $0.1 million are included in other income (expense), net for the fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and relate to trading securities held as of March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. Derivative Financial Instruments: Under the agreements with the respective counterparties to the Company’s derivative contracts, subject to applicable requirements, the Company does not net settle transactions with a single net amount payable by one party to the other.

The Company has one entity with a Euro functional currency that purchases inventory in U.S. Dollars. The primary risk managed by using derivative instruments is the foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company has designated these derivatives as cash flow hedges. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. These hedging contracts mature within four months, and are denominated in the same currency as the underlying transactions. Gains and losses in the fair value of the effective portion of the hedges are deferred as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss until the hedged inventory purchases are sold, at which time the gains or losses are reclassified to cost of goods sold.

If the underlying transaction being hedged fails to occur or if a portion of the hedge does not generate offsetting changes in the foreign currency exposure of forecasted inventory purchases, the Company immediately recognizes the gain or loss on the associated financial instrument in other income (expense), net. Such gains and losses were not material during fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012. Cash flows from such hedges are classified as operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the notional amounts of foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding related to forecasted inventory purchases were $51.8 million (€37.6 million), and $38.5 million (€30.1 million), respectively. Foreign Exchange Forward and Swap Contracts The Company also enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the short-term effects of foreign currency fluctuations on certain foreign currency receivables or payables. These forward contracts generally mature within three months. The Company may also enter into foreign exchange swap contracts to economically extend the terms of its foreign exchange forward contracts. The primary risk managed by using forward and swap contracts is the foreign currency exchange rate risk. The gains or losses on foreign exchange forward contracts are recognized in other income (expense), net based on the changes in fair value. The notional amounts of foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 relating to foreign currency receivables or payables were $23.2 million and $14.2 million, respectively. Open forward contracts as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 consisted of contracts in U.S. Dollars to purchase Taiwanese Dollars and contracts in Euros to sell British Pounds at future dates at pre-determined exchange rates. The notional amounts of foreign exchange swap contracts outstanding as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $30.5 million and $19.6 million, respectively. Swap contracts outstanding as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 consisted of contracts in Mexican Pesos, Japanese Yen and Australian Dollars. The fair value of all foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign exchange swap contracts is determined based on observable market transactions of spot currency rates and forward rates. Cash flows from these contracts are classified as operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Note 10 — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Annual Goodwill Impairment Testing In accordance with ASC Topic 350-10 (“ASC 350-10”) as it relates to Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company conducts a goodwill impairment analysis annually at December 31 and as necessary if changes in facts and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting units may be less than its carrying amount. FASB ASC 350-20 permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it would not be required to perform the two-step impairment test for that reporting unit. 264 265 LOGITECH INTERNATIONAL S.A.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)<12345678>JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 264 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 265 OPERATOR JoyD Note 10 — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (Continued) Peripherals The Company performed its annual impairment analysis of the goodwill for its peripherals reporting unit as of December 31, 2013 by performing a qualitative assessment and concluded that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of its peripherals reporting units was less than its carrying amount. In assessing the qualitative factors, the Company considered the impact of these key factors: change in industry and competitive environment, growth in market capitalization of $2.2 billion as of December 31, 2013 from $1.2 billion as of December 31, 2012, and forecasted budgeted-to- actual revenue performance for fiscal year 2014. The peripherals reporting unit had an improvement in operating income from $35 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 to $117 million for nine months ended December 31, 2013. Video Conferencing In the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the Company implemented a restructuring plan (“this Plan”) associated with its video conferencing reporting unit to simplify its organization, better align costs with its current business and free up resources to pursue growth opportunities. This Plan resulted in the reduction of personnel, lease exit costs and the write-off of discontinued video conferencing products. In addition, actual performance was significantly less than projected results for the periods since the prior annual goodwill impairment assessment performed at December 31, 2012, due to the combination of a changing industry landscape caused by a shift to less expensive cloud-based video conferencing solutions, an evolving Lifesize product line and challenges in execution. These factors resulted in the Company concluding that it was more likely than not that the fair value of its video conferencing reporting unit was less than its carrying amount. Therefore, the Company performed an interim Step 1 assessment of its video conferencing reporting unit at September 30, 2013. Step 1 assessment performed during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 involved measuring the recoverability of goodwill by comparing the video conferencing reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value was estimated using both an income approach employing a discounted cash flow model and a market approach. The market approach model was based on applying certain revenue multiples of comparable companies to the respective revenue and earnings metrics of the reporting unit. Step 1 assessment resulted in the Company determining that the video conferencing reporting unit passed Step 1 test because the estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value by approximately 23%, thus not requiring a Step 2 assessment of this reporting unit. At December 31, 2013, the Company completed its annual impairment analysis for the goodwill of the video conferencing reporting unit by performing Step 1 assessment as the qualitative factors that lead to the interim assessment had not significantly improved. Key assumptions used in this Step 1 income approach analysis included the appropriate discount rates, compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) during the forecast period, and long-term growth rates for purposes of determining a terminal value at the end of the discrete forecast period. Sensitivity assessment of key assumptions for the video conferencing reporting unit Step 1 test is presented below: • CAGR assumption was 7.0% through fiscal year 2021, with a forecast decline in the remainder of fiscal year 2014, and higher growth rates from fiscal years 2015 through 2019, reducing to a growth rate of 4% in fiscal year 2021. The forecasted growth contrasts with the recent performance of the video conferencing reporting unit, when the Company experienced a decline in revenue (see Note 14 for further details). A hypothetical decrease to 1.4% in the CAGR rate, holding all other assumptions constant, would decrease the fair value of the video conferencing reporting unit below its carrying value and hence would result in the reporting unit failing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. 264 265 LOGITECH INTERNATIONAL S.A.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)<12345678>ANNuAl RepoRtJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 266 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 267 OPERATOR JoyD Note 10 — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (Continued) • Discount rate assumption was 15%. A hypothetical increase to 18.9% in the discount rate, holding all other assumptions constant, would result in the reporting unit failing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. • Terminal growth rate assumption was 4%. A hypothetical decrease to 0% in the terminal growth rate assumption, holding all other assumptions constant, would result in the reporting unit passing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. The assumptions used also included a reduction in future operating expenses as a percentage of revenue, driven by increases in forecast revenue as described above, combined with reduced operating expenses related to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 and second quarter of fiscal year 2014 restructuring activities. The annual Step 1 assessment resulted in the Company determining that the video conferencing reporting unit passed Step 1 test because the estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value by approximately 30%, thus not requiring Step 2 assessment of this reporting unit. This result presents a future video conferencing reporting unit goodwill impairment risk to the Company since the margin it cleared the current Step 1 assessment was not significant. As a result of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment assessments, there was no impairment of goodwill during the three months ended December 31, 2013. There have been no events or circumstances during the three months ended March 31, 2014 that have required the Company to perform an interim assessment of goodwill. During fiscal year 2013, the Company’s video conferencing reporting unit failed Step 1 test because the estimated fair value was less than its carrying value, thus requiring Step 2 assessment of this reporting unit. This impairment primarily resulted from a decrease in the expected CAGR during the assessment forecast period based on greater evidence of the overall enterprise video conferencing industry experiencing a slowdown, combined with lower demand related to new product launches, increased competition during fiscal year 2013 and other market data. These factors had an adverse effect on the Company’s video conferencing operating results and future outlook. During fiscal year 2013, the Company recorded goodwill impairment and other charges of $214.5 million related to its video conferencing reporting unit. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates, operating margins, discount rates and future market conditions, among others. It is reasonably possible that changes in the judgments, assumptions and estimates that the Company used in assessing the fair value of the video conferencing reporting unit result in the goodwill to become impaired. A goodwill impairment charge would have the effect of decreasing the Company’s earnings or increasing its losses in such period. If the Company is required to take a substantial impairment charge, its operating results would be materially and adversely affected in such period. 266 267 LOGITECH INTERNATIONAL S.A.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)<12345678>JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 266 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 267 OPERATOR JoyD Note 10 — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (Continued) The following table summarizes the activity in the Company’s goodwill balance during fiscal years 2014 and 2013 (in thousands): Years Ended March 31, Peripherals Beginning of the period . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $216,744 202 — — 2,469 End of the period . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $219,415 Additions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

There were no intangible assets classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2014. (2) During fiscal year 2014, the Company determined that the trademarks and trade names gross and accumulated amortization amounts previously reported for fiscal year 2013 were not properly stated due to the inclusion of $15.9 million of fully amortized intangible assets, which were previously retired by the Company as of March 31, 2013. The table above is revised to reflect the correct amounts. For fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, amortization expense for other intangible assets was $17.8 million, $23.6 million and $27.2 million, respectively. The Company expects that annual amortization expense for the fiscal years ending 2015, 2016 and 2017 will be $8.4 million, $1.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively. 266 267 LOGITECH INTERNATIONAL S.A.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)<12345678>ANNuAl RepoRtJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 268 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 269 OPERATOR JoyD Note 11 — Financing Arrangements In December 2011, the Company entered into a Senior Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (“Credit Facility”) with a group of primarily Swiss banks that provided for a revolving multicurrency unsecured credit facility in an amount of up to $250.0 million and subject to certain requirements, permitted the Company to arrange with existing or new lenders to provide up to an aggregate of $150.0 million in additional commitments, for a total of $400.0 million. The Company also paid a quarterly commitment fee of 40% of the applicable margin on the available commitment. In December 2013, given the significant improvement in our financial performance and outlook, the Company chose to terminate this Credit Facility and wrote-off the amortized loan fees totaling $1.0 million.

In connection with its leased facilities, the Company has recognized a liability for asset retirement obligations for 2014 and 2013 representing the present value of estimated remediation costs to be incurred at lease expiration. The liability and the expense for asset retirement obligations were immaterial for fiscal years 2014, 2013, and 2012. Product Warranties All of the Company’s Peripherals products are covered by warranty to be free from defects in material and workmanship for periods ranging from one year to five years. At the time of sale, the Company accrues a warranty liability for estimated costs to provide products, parts or services to repair or replace products in satisfaction of the warranty obligation. The Company’s estimate of costs to fulfill its warranty obligations is based on historical experience and expectations of future conditions. When the Company experiences changes in warranty claim activity or costs associated with fulfilling those claims, the warranty liability is adjusted accordingly. 268 269 LOGITECH INTERNATIONAL S.A.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)<12345678>JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 268 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 269 OPERATOR JoyD Note 12 — Commitments and Contingencies (Continued) Changes in the Company’s warranty liability for fiscal years 2014 and 2013 were as follows (in thousands): Beginning of the period. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Although open purchase orders are considered enforceable and legally binding, the terms generally allow the Company the option to reschedule and adjust its requirements based on the business needs prior to delivery of goods or performance of services. Other Contingencies As previously announced, some of the issues reviewed by the Audit Committee are also the subject of an ongoing formal investigation by the SEC, including the accounting for Revue inventory valuation reserves that resulted in the restatement, revision to the Company’s financial statements concerning warranty accruals and amortization of intangible assets presented in our Form 10-K/A, filed on August 7,2013, and the Company’s transactions with a distributor for Fiscal Year 2007 through Fiscal Year 2009. The Company is cooperating with the SEC in its ongoing investigation. The Company has entered into an agreement with the SEC to extend the statute of limitations. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the investigation at this time and potential fines or penalties, if any, that may arise from the investigation are currently not estimable. Guarantees Logitech International S.A., the parent holding company, has issued several parent guarantees on behalf of its subsidiaries. The maximum potential future payment under the guarantee arrangements is limited to $80.0 million. As of March 31, 2014, there were no purchase obligations outstanding for which the parent holding company was required to guarantee payment. Logitech Europe S.A., a subsidiary of the parent holding company, has guaranteed the purchase obligations of another Logitech subsidiary under a guarantee agreement. This guarantee does not specify a maximum amount. As of March 31, 2014, the amount of purchase obligations outstanding under this guarantee was immaterial. In addition, Logitech Europe S.A. also guaranteed payments of a third-party contract manufacturer’s purchase obligations. As of March 31, 2014, the maximum amount of this guarantee was $3.5 million, of which $2.3 million of guaranteed purchase obligations were outstanding. Indemnifications The Company indemnifies certain of its suppliers and customers for losses arising from matters such as intellectual property disputes and product safety defects, subject to certain restrictions. The scope of these indemnities varies, but in some instances, includes indemnification for damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. As of March 31, 2014, no amounts have been accrued for these indemnification provisions. The Company does not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is probable that any material amounts will be required to be paid under its indemnification arrangements. The Company also indemnifies its current and former directors and certain of its current and former officers. Certain costs incurred for providing such indemnification may be recoverable under various insurance policies. The Company is unable to reasonably estimate the maximum amount that could be payable under these arrangements because these exposures are not limited, the obligations are conditional in nature and the facts and circumstances involved in any situation that might arise are variable. Legal Proceedings From time to time the Company is involved in claims and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is currently subject to several such claims and a small number of legal proceedings. The Company believes that these matters lack merit and intends to vigorously defend against them.

Any claims or proceedings against the Company, whether meritorious or not, can have an adverse impact because of defense costs, diversion of management and operational resources, negative publicity and other factors. Any failure to obtain necessary license or other rights, or litigation arising out of intellectual property claims, could adversely affect the Company’s business. Note 13 — Shareholders’ Equity Share Capital The Company’s nominal share capital is CHF 43,276,655, consisting of 173,106,620 shares with a par value of CHF 0.25 each, all of which were issued and 10,206,450 which were held in treasury as of March 31, 2014. In September 2008, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to reserve conditional capital of 25,000,000 shares for potential issuance on the exercise of rights granted under the Company’s employee equity incentive plans. The shareholders also approved the creation of conditional capital representing the issuance of up to 25,000,000 shares to cover any conversion rights under a future convertible bond issuance. This conditional capital was created in order to provide financing flexibility for future expansion, investments or acquisitions. Shares Outstanding In September 2012, the Company’s shareholders approved the cancellation of the 18.5 million shares repurchased under the September 2008 amended share buyback program. These shares were legally cancelled during fiscal year 2013, which decreased the treasury shares outstanding by this amount but also decreased its shares issued and outstanding from 191.6 million to 173.1 million. Dividends Pursuant to Swiss corporate law, Logitech International S.A. may only pay dividends in Swiss francs. The payment of dividends is limited to certain amounts of unappropriated retained earnings (CHF 458.5 million or $518.1 million based on exchange rates at March 31, 2014) and is subject to shareholder approval. In September 2013, Logitech’s shareholders approved a cash dividend payment of CHF 33.7 million out of retained earnings to Logitech shareholders. Eligible shareholders were paid CHF 0.21 per share ($0.22 per share in U.S. dollars), totaling $36.1 million in U.S. Dollars in September 2013. In September 2012, the Company’s shareholders approved a cash dividend of CHF 125.7 million out of retained earnings to Logitech shareholders. Eligible shareholders were paid CHF 0.79 per share ($0.85 per share in U.S. dollars), totaling $133.5 million in U.S. dollars in September 2012. This dividend qualified as a distribution of qualifying additional paid-in-capital and, as such, was not subject to Swiss Federal withholding tax. Legal Reserves Under Swiss corporate law, a minimum of 5% of the Company’s annual net income must be retained in a legal reserve until this legal reserve equals 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding aggregate par value per share capital. These legal reserves represent an appropriation of retained earnings that are not available for distribution and totaled $10.8 million at March 31, 2014 (based on exchange rates at March 31, 2014). 270 271 LOGITECH INTERNATIONAL S.A.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)<12345678>ANNuAl RepoRtJOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB TITLE Logitech Combo REVISION 13 SERIAL DATE Wednesday, November 19, 2014 JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 272 OPERATOR JoyD JOB NUMBER 270463 TYPE PAGE NO. 273 OPERATOR JoyD Note 13 — Shareholders’ Equity (Continued) Additionally, under Swiss corporate law, the Company is required to establish a reserve equal to the cost of repurchased treasury shares owned as of year-end.

Share Repurchases In March 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2014 share buyback program, which authorizes the Company to use up to $250.0 million to purchase its own shares. The Company’s share buyback program is expected to remain in effect for a period of three years. Shares may be repurchased from time to time on the open market, through block trades or otherwise. Purchases may be started or stopped at any time without prior notice depending on market conditions and other factors. In September 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the September 2008 share buyback program for $250.0 million. In November 2011, an amendment to the September 2008 share buyback program (“September 2008—amended”) was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors to enable future purchases of shares for cancellation.

The Company’s reporting segments do not record revenue on sales between segments as such sales are not material. Operating performance measures for the peripherals segment and the video conferencing segment are reported separately to Logitech’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who is considered to be the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CEO periodically reviews information such as net sales and operating income (loss) for each operating segment to make business decisions. These operating performance measures do not include share-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets. Share-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets are presented in the following financial information by operating segment as “other income (expense).” Assets by operating segment are not presented since the Company does not present such data to the CODM.

Note 16 — Subsequent events Repurchase of ESPP Awards The Company was not current with its periodic reports required to be filed with the SEC and was therefore unable to issue any shares under its Registration Statements on Form S-8 after July 31, 2014. Given the proximity of the unavailability of those registration statements and the end of the current ESPP offering period, also on July 31, 2014, the Compensation Committee authorized the termination of the current ESPP offering period and a one-time payment to each participant in an amount equal to the fifteen percent (15%) discount at which shares would otherwise have been repurchased pursuant to the current period of the ESPPs. This one-time payment was accounted for as a repurchase of equity awards that reduced additional paid-in capital, resulting in no additional compensation cost. Given the unavailability of the Company’s Registration Statements on Form S-8, no new ESPP offering periods were initiated since July 31, 2014. Dividend On November 12, 2014, the Board approved, subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders and other Swiss statutory requirements, a dividend of CHF 0.2625 per share.
