Strong Say-on-Pay Support in 2022
Our shareholders expressed strong support for our compensation programs at our 2022 Annual Meeting, and we received approximately 90.7% approval for our shareholder advisory vote regarding executive compensation.
We believe this result is an endorsement of the Company’s compensation philosophy and our focus on a performance-based, shareholder-value-focused business model that is intended to help ensure that Viatris continues to attract and retain high-performing executives.
We believe that the say-on-pay support in 2022 is evidence of our responsiveness to shareholder feedback, and we will continue to engage regularly with shareholders for their input.
Conclusion of Certain Legacy Compensation Payouts and Future Commitments
Impact of Legacy Matters on 2022 Compensation.
The Summary Compensation Table for 2022 reflects certain legacy retention payments for Messrs.
Malik and Mauro relating to their legacy Transition and Succession Agreements with Mylan Inc. that were previously disclosed in the Company’s 2021 and 2022 proxy statements (among other filings).
To incentivize Mr. Malik and Mr. Mauro to remain with Viatris in light of their importance to the launch, integration, leadership, and operation of Viatris, as well as development and execution of strategies going forward, and because of their existing Transition and Succession Agreement severance rights, Viatris entered into a retention agreement with each pursuant to which each earned the value of the separation benefit under his respective Transition and Succession Agreement.
Demonstration of Our Commitment.
Although it is common among peer companies, we did not provide a cash-based retention award to Mr. Smith, who joined Viatris as CEO in April 2023.
In doing so, we believe our Compensation Committee demonstrated its willingness to accept feedback from shareholders in making executive compensation determinations.
Viatris has carefully selected its compensation-related performance metrics to align with the strategic priorities that the Company has previously outlined to its shareholders.
When it was formed in November 2020, Viatris laid out a clear and deliberate strategy to build a highly diversified company with multiple capabilities spanning numerous geographies and therapeutic areas.
Under the leadership of the Board along with management, we established a two-phased roadmap that detailed and emphasized our strategic priorities to deliver value to our shareholders.
In Phase 1 of its strategy (2020-2023), the Company has focused on commercial performance and profitability to generate strong cash flows that could be used to return capital to shareholders.
Phase 1 also includes a global reshaping initiative designed to stabilize the business, unlock trapped value and provide the financial flexibility to deliver on our vision.
Phase 1 has focused on building a strong foundation and setting us up for Phase 2 (2024 and beyond), which is expected to be a period of renewed growth and leadership in our sector.
Summary of 2022 Incentive Compensation Pay Outcomes
| | • | | Above-target global product submissions, across broad and therapeutic-area agnostic product categories, driven by the strength of the Company’s development programs and successful acceleration of certain additional submissions. |
Long-term incentive compensation. Performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) are subject to a free cash flow metric and relative market performance metric (i.e., relative TSR using the S&P 500 Pharmaceutical Index, which is used as a modifier to determine the final payout percentage) over a three-year time period.
Eastern Time) on April 21, 2023, any payouts of PRSUs vesting in 2024 would be automatically reduced by 30%.
For more information on and the differences between how free cash flow is calculated for purposes of the Company’s 2022 long-term incentive compensation and public reporting purposes, see “Elements of 2022 Compensation — 2022 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Programs — 2022 Three-Year PRSU Performance Metrics” on pages 31 and 32.
Viatris’ management continues to execute on the strategic priorities outlined to shareholders and led the Company in achieving several notable accomplishments in 2022.
In 2022, Viatris delivered another four quarters of consistent, solid operational performance across all segments.
The Company:
| | • | | Captured an additional approximately $250 million (approximately $750 million since the beginning of 2021) in synergies due to integration efforts. |
| | • | | Paid down approximately $3.3 billion of debt, exceeding the 2022 target of approximately $2 billion. |
| | • | | Exited substantially all transition services agreements with Pfizer. |
| | • | | Increased the quarterly dividend payment to $0.12 per share. |
| | • | | Paid approximately $580 million in dividends. Since the beginning of 2021, the Company has returned nearly $1 billion to shareholders through dividend payments. |
| | • | | Completed approximately $250 million in share repurchases in January and February 2023 as part of its previously announced $1 billion stock repurchase program that the Board authorized. |
| | • | | Completed the Biocon Biologics Transaction; received a $2 billion cash payment, adjusted as set forth in the agreement, and approximately $1 billion of compulsory convertible preferred shares representing a stake of approximately 12.9% (on a fully diluted basis) in Biocon Biologics. |
| | • | | Established an eye care division in early 2023 in conjunction with the acquisitions of Oyster Point Pharma and Famy Life Sciences. |
The Company has industry-leading science, regulatory and manufacturing capabilities complemented by a strong commitment to quality and an unparalleled geographic footprint to deliver high-quality medicines.
This includes more than 3,000 scientists and medical professionals working across 12 development centers globally in multiple technology platforms and therapeutic areas, coupled with in-country regulatory expertise in 55 markets.
In 2022, Viatris advanced key development programs across complex injectables, novel products, complex generics, as well as progressing its efforts to establish a Phase III-ready eye care pipeline.
The Company:
| | • | | Announced positive top-line results for the GA Depot Phase III clinical trial with partner Mapi Pharma. |
| | • | | Received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approvals of Fingolimod and Levothyroxine Oral Solution. |
In early 2021, Viatris announced its 2021 financial guidance, which included adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow metrics
These publicly reported metrics directly tie to strategic Company priorities for the first three years following the closing of the Combination, including rebalancing the business, generating strong and growing cash flows, and rapidly
de-levering.
In addition, the Company is focused on obtaining synergies to become more flexible and efficient while continuing to launch new products.
Compensation in 2021 represents the first year of Viatris’ new compensation program.

The Compensation Committee directly linked 2021 performance metrics to our stated strategy and financial goals.
The table below also describes how our performance metrics support the Company’s strategic goals.
| 1 | Viatris was not providing forward-looking guidance for U.S. GAAP net earnings (loss) or a quantitative reconciliation of its 2021 adjusted EBITDA guidance and provided a quantitative reconciliation of its 2021 free cash flow guidance. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and Appendix A for additional information. |

| Performance Metrics | | Rationale For Use |
| Leverage* | | Reinforces commitment to investment grade rating, overall risk reduction, reducing interest expense, and delivering on financial commitments |
| Relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) | | A relative market performance metric to modify final payout percentages for performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) and further align with shareholders |
| * | Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and leverage are calculated from Viatris’ audited financial statements in the manner described in Appendix A. |
Philosophy: 2021 Incentive Compensation Summary

comprised approximately 70% of 2021 NEO target total compensation.
Our short-term incentive compensation and long-term incentive compensation comprised approximately 87% of 2021 NEO target total compensation.
Despite our strong 2021 operational performance, based on our TSR applicable to long-term incentive modifiers, our executives would experience significantly reduced realizable pay, particularly if the price of the Company’s stock remains at or around levels as of April 25, 2022 demonstrating the robustness of our
philosophy and the linkage of our compensation programs to TSR.
| | • | | Approximately 70% of target NEO total compensation is in the form of long-term equity grants, the value of which is directly correlated with the price of the Company’s stock. |
| | • | | 60% of NEO equity awards are subject to leverage ratio and free cash flow metrics measured over a three-year time period. These equity awards are also subject to a relative market performance metric (relative TSR), which we included after discussions with shareholders to maximize alignment of executive and shareholder interests. Although we believe that Viatris stock is significantly undervalued and this modifier is measured on a three-year time frame, at the relevant stock price on the close of business April 25, 2022, any payouts of PRSUs would be automatically reduced by 30%, as described in more detail on pages 29 to 30. |
Viatris’ first year focused on its initial priorities of defining and delivering on clear financial goals, including achieving approximately $500 million in cost synergies by 2021 and at least $1 billion by 2023, paying down $6.5 billion in debt by 2023, and initiating and growing a quarterly dividend.
In just a short time, we believe we have made substantial progress on our initial priorities, while advancing patient access, organizational efficiencies and delivering strong financial results for the full year 2021.
Our key accomplishments for 2021 include:
Creating a New Kind of Healthcare Company
Since November 2020, Viatris’ new but seasoned management team has been leading the Company’s integration efforts, restructuring the business, and ensuring continued robust visibility and transparency in our financial reporting.
We are executing on our internal roadmap, which focuses on enhancing our processes and systems to drive the discipline necessary to further maximize our
one-of-a-kind
global platform.
A few of our key accomplishments to date — which have been achieved while also maintaining business continuity and strong customer service levels — include:
| | • | | Uniting Upjohn and Mylan colleagues located in 59 markets globally into Viatris’ Human Relations management system; |
| | • | | Reaching our year 1 synergy target (approximately $500 million in cost synergies) through actions focused on cost of goods, selling, general and administrative expenses, cost avoidance, and restructuring; |
| | • | | Developing a comprehensive Transition Service Agreements (TSA) exit strategy relating to the Combination; and |
| | • | | Beginning to implement an integrated management reporting system and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) capabilities that will enable the Company to combine and enhance insights in support of our new business model and will, we believe, provide for a smooth ERP TSA exit. |
Since launch, Viatris has delivered four quarters of consistent, solid performance.
In 2021, Viatris:
| | • | | Met or exceeded its initial financial guidance announced in February 2021 for Total Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow 2 . |
