Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

Modification of Compensatory Arrangements with Junien Labrousse

(e)

On March 18, 2011 Logitech Europe S.A., a subsidiary of Logitech International S.A. (the “Company” or “Logitech”), entered into a new employment agreement with Junien Labrousse (the “New Employment Agreement”), Logitech’s Executive Vice President, Products and President, Europe, and Logitech International S.A. and Logitech Europe S.A entered into a new change of control severance agreement with Mr. Labrousse (the “New Change of Control Agreement”, together with the New Employment Agreement, the “New Agreements”), in connection with Mr. Labrousse’s relocation from the United States to Lausanne, Switzerland. The New Agreements are effective from January 1, 2011. Concurrent with the execution of the New Agreements, his employment agreement with Logitech Inc., also a subsidiary of Logitech International, dated December 3, 2008 (the “Prior Employment Agreement”) and his change of control severance agreement with Logitech Inc. and Logitech International, dated December 3, 2008 (the “Prior Change of Control Agreement”), were terminated.

The compensatory terms of Mr. Labrousse’s New Employment Agreement with Logitech Europe S.A. reflect, in general, his compensation with Logitech Inc., adjusted for the US dollar to Swiss franc exchange rate, except that the New Employment Agreement provides for (i) benefits and statutory pension arrangements that are available to all Logitech’s Swiss-based regular employees (ii) the payment of the relocation costs of Mr. Labrousse and his family, and (iii) a special relocation bonus. In particular, the material terms of the New Employment Agreement are as follows:

 

•

Mr. Labrousse’s annual base salary will be CHF 710,000. This is equal to $786,254, as converted into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of 1 CHF to U.S. 1.1074, as in effect on March 18, 2011.

 

•

Mr. Labrousse will continue to be eligible to participate in the Logitech Management Performance Bonus Plan and his target bonus will continue to be equal to 67% of his annual base salary.

 

•

Mr. Labrousse will receive relocation assistance to move him and his family from the United States to Switzerland in accordance with the Logitech International Transfer and Relocation Policy, including payments for certain relocation costs and expenses such as airfare and moving costs and temporary living benefits including lodging, meals and auto rental.

 

•

Mr. Labrousse will receive a one-time relocation bonus of $112,500.

 

•

Mr. Labrousse will also participate in the compensation and benefit programs generally available to Logitech’s Swiss employees.

The material terms of the New Change of Control Agreement remain unchanged from the Prior Change of Control Agreement, except that the New Change of Control Agreement is with Logitech Europe S.A. and is to be governed by Swiss law instead of California law, and certain other changes were made to reflect the change in governing law.
