Executive Summary

New in FY2023

We were pleased to have received 86% approval for our shareholder advisory vote regarding NEO compensation at our 2023 Annual Meeting, which we believe validates our performance-based compensation philosophy, the then-announced transition of our leadership structure and *the phasing out of legacy compensation arrangements that we inherited from Pfizer and Mylan*.

New in FY2023

In our discussions with shareholders, they expressed strong support for our simplified and performance-based compensation program going forward.

New in FY2023

Following the conclusion of legacy management transitions that took place this year, *our compensation program no longer has any significant outstanding legacy arrangements*.

New in FY2023

Although certain of these arrangements are reflected in our 2023 Summary Compensation Table, each matter was previously disclosed and, based on our discussions with shareholders, we believe was taken into account and reflected in prior shareholder advisory votes (including the 86% support last year).

New in FY2023

Importantly, our transitional arrangements with Messrs.

New in FY2023

Coury and Malik reflect the Company honoring past contractual and economic commitments without additional cash or equity compensation.

New in FY2023

Moreover, in response to our discussions with shareholders in recent years, we increased the percentage of performance-based equity awards from 60% to 65%; eliminated legacy excise tax gross-ups; eliminated modified single-trigger severance arrangements; committed to no new fixed-term NEO employment agreements; discontinued tax equalization benefits; and committed to no longer provide strictly time-based cash retention awards except in extraordinary situations and in connection with new hires or supplemental retirement benefit agreements.

New in FY2023

Our Compensation Structure is Approximately Two-Thirds Performance Based and Includes No Special Incentives

New in FY2023

Our Compensation Committee has implemented a simple and performance-focused compensation program which, excluding arrangements which may be necessary in connection with onboarding new hires, is limited to base salary, a performance-based short-term incentive award and long-term incentive awards consisting of performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) and restricted stock units (“RSUs”).

New in FY2023

For fiscal year 2023, 62% of NEO total target compensation was performance-based and 70% of NEO total target compensation was delivered as long-term equity.

New in FY2023

In addition, our PRSUs are subject to a total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance modifier assessed over a three-year time frame relative to the S&P 500 Pharmaceutical Index.

New in FY2023

Our first long-term PRSUs (awarded in 2021) that vested in 2024 were automatically reduced by 30% consistent with the design of the TSR modifier.

In light of the leadership and oversight of the Executive Chairman in developing our comprehensive strategies for growth while streamlining the Company, the substantial success and progress on and overall performance with respect to the Company’s Phase 1 objectives, and in preparation for the Company’s move into Phase 2 of our strategic plan, the independent members of the Board believed it was an appropriate time to consider a transition to a more conventional Board leadership structure, which we had previously informed shareholders we would do at the appropriate time for the Company.

Our Continued Performance-Based Approach to Compensation

Dropped from FY2022

Viatris has carefully selected its compensation-related performance metrics to align with the strategic priorities that the Company has previously outlined to its shareholders.

Dropped from FY2022

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.

Dropped from FY2022

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.

Dropped from FY2022

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.

Dropped from FY2022

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.
