Recommendation: The Board of Directors recommends

| 9. | Advisory Vote on the Company’s Compensation Report for Fiscal Year 2025 |
Proposal of the Board of Directors:
The Board of Directors proposes that the compensation report, as included in the Annual Report 2025, be approved in a non-binding
advisory vote.
Explanation: The majority
of Swiss public companies asks shareholders to approve the variable compensation of the executive management prospectively (i.e.,
in relation to the next financial year). The Company follows this practice for the Executive Management. Under these circumstances, the
Board of Directors must, in accordance with article 735 para. 3 item 4 CO, seek an advisory vote from shareholders on the compensation
report in relation to the preceding financial year. The compensation report for fiscal year 2025 is part of the Annual Report 2025, which
is available to shareholders on the Company’s website at https://www.wisekey.com/company/investors/financial-reports/. It
explains the governance framework and the principles underlying the compensation structure at the Company. In addition, the compensation
report sets out the remuneration of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management for 2025, as required under the CO.
Recommendation: The Board of Directors recommends
you vote “FOR” this proposal number 9.
| 10. | Vote on the Compensation of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management |
| 10.1 | Ratification of the Maximum Aggregate Amount of Compensation
of the Board of Directors for the Period Between the 2026 Annual General Meeting and the 2027 Annual General Meeting |
Proposal of the Board of Directors:
The Board of Directors proposes that the shareholders ratify an amount of CHF 2,000,000 as the maximum aggregate amount of compensation
of the Board of Directors for the period between the 2026 Annual General Meeting and the 2027 Annual General Meeting.
Explanation: In accordance
with article 698 para. 3 item 4, article 735 para. 1 CO and article 26 para. 1 letter a of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors
must submit the maximum aggregate amount of compensation of the Board of Directors to shareholders for approval. The proposed maximum
aggregate compensation amount of the members of the Board of Directors for the 2026/2027 term has been calculated on the basis of a Board
of Directors consisting of eight members and on the basis of the following compensation components: A fixed annual base fee for directorship
or, as applicable, an increased fixed base fee for a director’s role as the chair of a Committee, together with an equity-based compensation
for directorship or, as applicable, an increased base equity-based compensation for a director’s role as the chair of a Committee.
The Board of Directors’ proposed
aggregate maximum compensation amount is the same amount as the one proposed and approved at the 2025 Annual General Meeting.
As announced, the Board of Directors
intends to change the place of incorporation from Switzerland to the British Virgin Islands (BVI). The redomiciliation is proposed
to be implemented through a cross-border merger of WISeKey International Holding Ltd with and into a wholly owned British Virgin Islands
subsidiary, WISeKey Corp (WISeKey BVI). The proposed redomiciliation remains subject to various conditions, including regulatory
and shareholder approvals, which WISeKey expects to seek in the third quarter of 2026. Should the proposed redomiciliation be completed,
the Company will no longer be incorporated in Switzerland and will instead be governed by BVI law. As a consequence, the requirement under
the shareholder resolution relating to the maximum aggregate compensation of the Board of Directors will no longer apply, as BVI law does
not provide for an equivalent ratification or approval mechanism in this regard.
Recommendation: The Board of
Directors recommends you vote “FOR” this proposal number 10.1.
| 10.2 | Ratification of the Maximum Aggregate Amount of Compensation of the Executive Management for Fiscal
Year 2027 |
Proposal of the Board of Directors:
The Board of Directors proposes that the shareholders ratify an amount of CHF 7,500,000 as the maximum aggregate amount of compensation
of the Executive Management for fiscal year 2027.
Explanation:
Pursuant to article 698 para. 3 item 4, article 735 para. 1 CO and article 26 para. 1 item 2 of the Articles of Association, the Board
of Directors must submit the maximum aggregate compensation amount of the Executive Management to shareholders for approval.
As announced and explained under
Agenda Item 10.1, the Board of Directors intends to change the place of incorporation from Switzerland to the BVI. The redomiciliation
is proposed to be implemented through a cross-border merger of WISeKey International Holding Ltd with and into a wholly owned British
Virgin Islands subsidiary, WISeKey Corp (“WISeKey BVI”). The proposed redomiciliation remains subject to various conditions,
including regulatory and shareholder approvals, which WISeKey expects to seek in the third quarter of 2026. Should the proposed redomiciliation
be completed, the Company will no longer be incorporated in Switzerland and will instead be governed by BVI law. As a consequence, the
requirement under the shareholder resolution relating to the maximum aggregate compensation of the Board of Directors will no longer apply,
as BVI law does not provide for an equivalent ratification or approval mechanism in this regard.
Recommendation: The Board of
Directors recommends you vote “FOR” this proposal number 10.2.
| 10.3 | Ratification of Increase in the Max Aggregate Amount of Compensation for the Executive Management for
Fiscal Year 2026 |
Proposal of the Board of Directors:
The Board of Directors proposes that shareholders approve an increase in the maximum aggregate compensation amount for Executive Management
for the fiscal year 2026, as previously approved at the 2025 Annual General Meeting, from CHF 6,000,000 to CHF 15,000,000.
Explanation: Following a
comprehensive benchmarking exercise conducted by the Compensation Committee of both SEALSQ Corp (SEALSQ), the Company’s subsidiary
whose shares are listed on the Nasdaq and which the Company controls through the special voting rights F shares, and the Company, the
Company’s compensation framework was reviewed to better align with market practice among the Company’s peers. This review reflected the
Board of Directors’ commitment to maintaining a rigorous, performance-driven approach to executive compensation. In light of SEALSQ’s
exceptional operational and financial performance during 2025, including achievements in capital raising and an increase in shareholder
value, the Board of SEALSQ and the Board of WISeKey approved a one-off exceptional performance bonus for the relevant members of Executive
Management. This bonus is linked to the delivery of measurable outcomes benefiting shareholders, namely the growth in SEALSQ’s market
capitalisation and the successful execution of its capital-raising program during the year ended December 31, 2025.
At the 2025 Annual General Meeting,
shareholders approved a maximum aggregate compensation amount of CHF 6,000,000 for Executive Management for fiscal year 2026. As a result
of the one-off bonus described above, the total consolidated compensation payable by WISeKey to its Executive Management for fiscal year
2026 would exceed this approved amount. The Board therefore seeks shareholder ratification for an increase of the previously approved
maximum aggregate compensation amount.
Recommendation: The Board of
Directors recommends you vote “FOR” this proposal number 10.3.
| 10.4 | Ratification of Additional Compensation of CHF 1,530,301 to be Granted to the Executive Management in the
Form of Options Relating to SEALSQ Ordinary Shares for Fiscal Year 2025 |
Proposal of the Board of Directors:
The Board of Directors proposes that shareholders approve an additional amount of compensation for Executive Management in respect of
the fiscal year 2025, in the form of options relating to SEALSQ Ordinary Shares, supplementing the maximum aggregate compensation amount
of CHF 6,000,000 approved by shareholders at the 2024 Annual General Meeting.
Explanation: During the
course of late 2024 and 2025, WISeKey and its subsidiary SEALSQ experienced a period of significant market recognition, reflecting growing
investor appreciation of the Group’s cybersecurity capabilities and the strategic positioning of SEALSQ within the rapidly expanding market
for post-quantum and IoT security solutions. This was reflected in a material appreciation in SEALSQ’s share price during the year.
Against this backdrop, the Board
of Directors and Compensation Committee commenced discussions in 2024 and subsequently resolved in March 2025 to grant options over Ordinary
Shares to members of Executive Management as part of the Company’s performance-based compensation framework. The grant was intended to
align the long-term interests of Executive Management with those of shareholders by linking a meaningful component of executive reward
to the continued creation of shareholder value.
Under Swiss law and the Company’s
Articles of Association, the aggregate compensation for Executive Management, including the fair value of equity-based awards such as
options over Ordinary Shares at the time of grant, is subject to the maximum aggregate amount approved by shareholders. The option grants
made in March 2025, when valued in accordance with applicable accounting and governance standards, result in the total aggregate compensation
for Executive Management for fiscal year 2025 exceeding the CHF 6,000,000 authorization previously approved by shareholders at the 2024
Annual General Meeting. The Board therefore respectfully requests that shareholders ratify the additional compensation in the amount of
CHF 1,530,301 arising from these grants.
Recommendation: The Board of
Directors recommends you vote “FOR” this proposal number 10.4.
