EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, originally filed on February 27, 2019 (the “Original Filing”). We are filing this Amendment to include the information required by Part III and not included in the Original Filing, as we do not intend to file a definitive proxy statement for an annual general meeting of shareholders within 120 days of the end of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. In addition, in connection with the filing of this Amendment and pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we are including with this Amendment new certifications of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Accordingly, Item 15 of Part IV has also been amended to reflect the filing of these new certifications.

Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. The Original Filing continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events which occurred at a date subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing.

As used in this Amendment, unless the context requires otherwise, the “Company,” “Mylan,” “our,” and “we” mean Mylan N.V. and its consolidated subsidiaries, “NASDAQ” means The NASDAQ Global Select Stock Market, and “U.S. GAAP” means accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”).

Forward-Looking Statements

This Amendment contains “forward-looking statements.” These statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements about Mylan’s future operations, anticipated business levels, future earnings, planned activities, anticipated growth, market opportunities, strategies, competition and other expectations and targets for future periods. These may often be identified by the use of words such as “will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “plan,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “potential,” “pipeline,” “intend,” “continue,” “target,” “seek” and variations of these words or comparable words. Because forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties, actual future results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: actions and decisions of healthcare and pharmaceutical regulators; failure to achieve expected or targeted future financial and operating performance and results; uncertainties regarding future demand, pricing and reimbursement for our products; any regulatory, legal, or other impediments to Mylan’s ability to bring new products to market, including, but not limited to, where Mylan uses its business judgment and decides to manufacture, market, and/or sell products, directly or through third parties, notwithstanding the fact that allegations of patent infringement(s) have not been finally resolved by the courts (i.e., an “at-risk launch”); success of clinical trials and Mylan’s ability to execute on new product opportunities; any changes in or difficulties with our manufacturing facilities, including with respect to our remediation and restructuring activities, supply chain or inventory or our ability to meet anticipated demand; the scope, timing and outcome of any ongoing legal proceedings, including government investigations, and the impact of any such proceedings on our financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows; the ability to meet expectations regarding the accounting and tax treatments of acquisitions, including Mylan’s acquisition (the “EPD Business Acquisition”) of Mylan Inc. and Abbott Laboratories’ non-U.S. developed markets specialty and branded generics business (the “EPD Business”); changes in relevant tax and other laws, including but not limited to changes in the U.S. tax code and healthcare and pharmaceutical laws and regulations in the U.S. and abroad; any significant breach of data security or data privacy or disruptions to our information technology systems; the ability to protect intellectual property and preserve intellectual property rights; the effect of any changes in customer and supplier relationships and customer purchasing patterns; the ability to attract and retain key personnel; the impact of competition; identifying, acquiring and integrating complementary or strategic acquisitions of other companies, products, or assets being more difficult, time-consuming or costly than anticipated; the possibility that Mylan may be unable to achieve expected synergies and operating efficiencies in


Table of Contents

connection with strategic acquisitions, strategic initiatives or restructuring programs within the expected time-frames or at all; uncertainties and matters beyond the control of management, including but not limited to general political and economic conditions and global exchange rates; and inherent uncertainties involved in the estimates and judgments used in the preparation of financial statements, and the providing of estimates of financial measures, in accordance with U.S. GAAP and related standards or on an adjusted basis. For more detailed information on the risks and uncertainties associated with Mylan’s business activities, see the risks described in the Original Filing and our other filings with the SEC. You can access Mylan’s filings with the SEC through the SEC website at www.sec.gov or through our website, and Mylan strongly encourages you to do so. Mylan routinely posts information that may be important to investors on our website at investor.mylan.com, and we use this website address as a means of disclosing material information to the public in a broad, non-exclusionary manner for purposes of the SEC’s Regulation Fair Disclosure (Reg FD). The contents of our website are not incorporated by reference in this Amendment and shall not be deemed “filed” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Mylan undertakes no obligation to update any statements herein for revisions or changes after the filing date of this Amendment other than as required by law.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Amendment includes the presentation and discussion of certain financial information that differs from what is reported under U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures, including, but not limited to, adjusted diluted earnings per share (“adjusted EPS”), adjusted free cash flow, Adjusted FCF/Credit Agreement Debt (as defined herein), and return on invested capital (“ROIC”), are presented in order to supplement investors’ and other readers’ understanding and assessment of Mylan’s financial performance. Management uses these measures internally for forecasting, budgeting, measuring its operating performance and incentive-based awards. Primarily due to acquisitions and other significant events which may impact comparability of our periodic operating results, Mylan believes that an evaluation of its ongoing operations (and comparisons of its current operations with historical and future operations) would be difficult if the disclosure of its financial results was limited to financial measures prepared only in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for our investors and when considered together with our U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our operations. The financial performance of the Company is measured by senior management, in part, using adjusted metrics included herein, along with other performance metrics. Management’s annual incentive compensation is derived, in part, based on the adjusted EPS metric and the adjusted free cash flow metric. Appendix A to this Amendment contains reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. Investors and other readers are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures set forth in Appendix A, and investors and other readers should consider non-GAAP measures only as supplements to, not as substitutes for or as superior measures to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Mylan’s Board

Mylan’s Board currently consists of 12 directors, each of whom is either an executive director or a non-executive director pursuant to applicable Dutch law. On April 30, 2019, the Board voted to increase the size of the Board to 13 directors, effective after the 2019 annual general meeting of shareholders (the “2019 AGM”), and nominated Richard Mark to be elected by shareholders at the 2019 AGM to serve as a non-executive director for a term ending immediately after the next annual general meeting held after his election.

Executive directors are responsible for the daily management and operation of the Company and, beyond their critical strategic and oversight role, non-executive directors are responsible for monitoring the performance of the executive directors and management.

Consistent with established Dutch law and the Company’s Articles of Association, executive directors and non-executive directors are appointed by the general meeting from a binding nomination proposed by Mylan’s Board. If appointed, each director’s term begins at the general meeting at which he or she is appointed and, unless such director resigns or is suspended or dismissed at an earlier date, his or her term of office lapses immediately after the next annual general meeting held after his or her appointment.

Meetings of Mylan’s Board

Mylan’s Board met four times in 2018. In addition to meetings of the Board, directors attended meetings of individual Board committees of which they were members. Each of the directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of Mylan’s Board meetings and meetings of committees of which they were a member during the periods for which they served in 2018. Directors are expected to attend the annual general meeting of shareholders of Mylan where practicable. All current members of the Board attended the 2018 annual general meeting of shareholders (“2018 AGM”).

As noted, Mark W. Parrish has served as Vice Chairman and Lead Independent Director of Mylan’s Board since August 2017. Mylan’s Corporate Governance Principles require the independent directors of the Board to meet in executive session from time to time, and at least twice annually, without any members of management present. During 2018, the independent directors of the Board met in executive session four times, with Mr. Parrish presiding at each such executive session.

Mylan’s Board Committees

The standing committees of Mylan’s Board are the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Compliance Committee, the Executive Committee, the Finance Committee, the Governance and Nominating Committee, the Risk Oversight Committee and the Science and Technology Committee. Each committee operates under a written charter, a current copy of which, along with our Articles of Association, Rules for the Board of Directors and Corporate Governance Principles, is available on Mylan’s website at http://www.mylan.com/en/company/corporate-governance.

All members of the Audit, Compensation, Compliance, Finance, Governance and Nominating and Risk Oversight Committees are independent directors, as defined in the applicable NASDAQ listing standards, applicable SEC rules and the Dutch Corporate Governance Code (the “DCGC”). Mylan’s Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee – Mr. Dimick, Ms. Dillon, Ms. Higgins and Mr. Parrish – is an “audit committee financial expert,” as that term is defined in the rules of the SEC. Board approval of any director appointment to the Audit, Compensation, Compliance, Governance and Nominating and Risk Oversight Committees must include at least a majority of the independent directors, as defined in the applicable NASDAQ listing standards.

In addition, on August 8, 2018, Mylan’s Board announced the formation of a new non-standing committee, the Strategic Review Committee, to evaluate a wide range of alternatives to unlock the true value of the Company’s one-of-a-kind platform. The Strategic Review Committee consists entirely of independent directors and is led by the Lead Independent Director.

Information about each of the standing committees is provided on the following pages and pages 14-15 provide an additional discussion of committee responsibilities in relation to risk oversight.

Board Structure

The Board has demonstrated expertise in developing strategies that have created a unique and sustainable global platform that serves the interests of shareholders and other stakeholders, and possesses a deep understanding of the management team and the bench strength and culture within the Company. The Board also has a strong understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing the Company around the world, as well as the industry and healthcare systems in which we operate. This understanding has enabled the Board to guide the Company and Mylan’s executive team in navigating ongoing, complex, and unpredictable developments that continue to have significant impacts on the pharmaceutical industry generally and Mylan in particular. These developments include pricing and supply chain dynamics, regulatory challenges resulting in delayed product approvals (for example, unexpected delays in the regulatory approvals of generic Copaxone ® and generic Advair Diskus ® ), and the intense governmental and regulatory scrutiny ongoing in the U.S. healthcare system. Recognizing these challenges and opportunities, and given the steady and successful leadership of the Board during these unpredictable times, the Board has determined that its current leadership structure — Mr. Coury as Chairman, Mr. Parrish as Lead Independent Director and Vice Chairman, Ms. Bresch as CEO, and a strong, independent majority of directors — enables it to best oversee and empower the management team and is optimal for Mylan and its shareholders and other stakeholders, both now and for the foreseeable future.

The Board believes that its current structure continues to provide robust and highly effective oversight based on, among other factors:

 

   

Nine independent directors;

 

   

Robust Corporate Governance Principles, which are reviewed annually;

 

   

A Chairman with deep experience in and knowledge of our business and industry with a demonstrated unique and successful strategic vision, including leading our transformation from the third largest generics pharmaceutical company in the U.S. into one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world in terms of revenue. Our Chairman continues to be actively focused on his role of providing the overall strategic leadership for the Company, consistent with Dutch law and the Company’s organizational documents — a role that the Board believes remains critically important as our industry continues to experience significant change and disruption at a rapid rate. The Board has also asked Mr. Coury to continue to be directly involved in any material transactions involving the Company, as well as in other matters considered significant by the Board, including providing guidance to the executive team and interacting with shareholders;

 

   

A strong Lead Independent Director, who is also Vice Chairman, responsible for, among other things;

 

   

Calling and presiding at executive sessions and meetings of the independent directors;

 

   

Consulting with the Chairman in determining information to be sent to the Board, meeting agendas and meeting schedules, and separately approving those items;

 

12


Table of Contents
   

Serving as a contact person for shareholders and other stakeholders wishing to communicate with the Board;

 

   

Acting as liaison between the Chairman and independent directors; and

 

   

Leading the Board’s Strategic Review Committee;

 

   

The Audit, Compensation, Compliance, Finance, Governance and Nominating and Risk Oversight Committees all are composed entirely of independent directors (as defined in the applicable NASDAQ listing standards and within the meaning of the DCGC);

 

   

Approval of any appointment of members to the Audit, Compensation, Compliance, Governance and Nominating and Risk Oversight Committees must include at least a majority of the independent directors;

 

   

All Board committees operate pursuant to written charters and conduct annual self-assessments;

 

   

In February 2018, the Board formed the Risk Oversight Committee to assist in its oversight of the Company’s enterprise risk framework;

 

   

The independent directors on Mylan’s Board and its committees receive extensive information and input from multiple layers of management and external advisors, engage in detailed discussion and analysis regarding matters brought before them (including in executive session) and consistently and actively engage in the development and approval of significant corporate strategies;

 

   

Mylan’s Board and its committees have unrestricted access to management;

 

   

Mylan’s Board and its committees can retain, at Company expense, any advisors they deem necessary with respect to any matter brought before them; and

 

   

In 2018, Mylan’s Board held four executive sessions of non-management members, and its committees collectively held 20 executive sessions.

Setting and Overseeing Strategy

The Board actively determines the Company’s strategy and continues to focus on those strategies designed to ensure the continued durability and sustainability of the Company, while creating long-term value for our shareholders, and serving the interests of our other stakeholders. The Board and its committees regularly and extensively review Mylan’s strategy to ensure it supports the long-term growth and sustainability of the Company and reflects and is responsive to, among other considerations, market challenges and opportunities, the complex, and often unpredictable changes impacting healthcare systems around the world, and the interests of shareholders and other stakeholders. Our Chairman and Board’s strategic planning has led to the creation of a diversified and differentiated portfolio that is not reliant on a single market or product, resulting in stable and durable cash flows despite challenging, and often unpredictable, market conditions. Our Chairman, who at the Board’s request, in 2016 agreed with Mylan to accept the role of non-executive Chairman for at least five additional years, has been intently focused, with the Board and in collaboration with the senior executive management team, on developing the strategy for Mylan for the next decade and beyond. The Board believes that Mr. Coury’s role as non-executive Chairman remains critically important to the Company and in the best interests of our shareholders and other stakeholders, as our industry continues to experience significant change and disruption at a rapid rate.

In addition, given the Board’s belief that the Company is significantly undervalued, in August 2018, the Board formed a Strategic Review Committee to evaluate a wide range of alternatives to unlock the true value of our one-of-a-kind platform. The Strategic Review Committee is chaired by our Lead Independent Director and includes four other independent directors. The Strategic Review Committee is continuing its work as of the date of this Amendment.

Table of Contents

The Board is committed to maintaining a dialogue with shareholders to ensure that they understand our differentiated strategy and business model and have an opportunity to discuss and engage on a broad range of topics, including our strategy. The Board also reviews the implementation of our strategy at our annual general meeting of shareholders, giving attendees the opportunity to discuss our annual Dutch board report and the accompanying financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. We also regularly discuss our strategy in shareholder engagement sessions.

Risk Management

Mylan, similar to other pharmaceutical companies, operates in a complex and rapidly changing environment that involves many risks. In addition to general market, R&D, and economic risks, the Company faces potential risks related to its industry; information technology and cybersecurity; data privacy; financial controls and reporting; legal, regulatory and compliance; finances and taxation; global operations; environment and social responsibility; and product portfolio and commercialization, among others. As a company committed to operating ethically and with integrity, we proactively seek to manage and, where possible, mitigate risks to help ensure compliance with applicable rules and regulations, maintain integrity and continuity in our operations and business and protect our assets and reputation. Risk management is an enterprise-wide objective subject to oversight by the Board and its committees.

It is the responsibility of Mylan’s management and employees to implement and administer risk-management processes to identify material risks to our business. In addition, management must assess, manage and monitor those risks, all while maintaining flexibility in how we operate. To further embed risk management and compliance into our culture, Mylan implements relevant policies and procedures and trains employees on how to implement and comply with them. All of our committees have regular access to management and our Board and committees also schedule sessions without members of management present.

Mylan’s Board, in turn, directly or through its committees, oversees management’s implementation of risk management. We have approved a robust Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and other related policies, and the Board and its committees rigorously review with management actual and potential significant risks at least quarterly.

Board Committees’ Role in Risk Oversight

 

   

The Risk Oversight Committee was formed in February 2018 to assist the Board in its oversight of Mylan’s enterprise risk management framework. The Committee reviews the enterprise risk framework, infrastructure and controls implemented by management to help identify, assess, manage and monitor material risks; reviews management’s exercise of its responsibility to identify, assess and manage material risks not allocated to the Board or another committee, including, for example, data security programs, and cybersecurity and information technology; oversees management’s efforts with respect to GSR; and reviews Mylan’s efforts to foster a culture of risk-adjusted decision-making without constraining reasonable risk-taking and innovation.

 

   

The Audit Committee focuses on financial and disclosure controls and reporting risks as well as oversight of Mylan’s internal audit function. The Committee oversees, among other matters, certain processes and procedures relating to risk assessment and risk management and the quality and adequacy of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Mylan’s internal audit function meets with the Committee at least quarterly to discuss potential risk or control issues. The Committee also meets quarterly with Mylan’s global independent auditor and Dutch independent auditor .

 

   

The Compensation Committee focuses on compensation-related risks that may be inherent in our business and the design of compensation-related plans and programs, and receives reports from management and/or outside advisors and experts regarding various related matters on at least a quarterly basis.

The Compliance Committee is responsible for overseeing the Chief Compliance Officer’s implementation of Mylan’s Corporate Compliance Program and related policies and procedures. The Committee is responsible for appointing and, as applicable, replacing this individual, and reviews his or her performance, responsibilities, plans and resources. The Committee makes recommendations to the Board with respect to the Corporate Compliance Program and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, including considering and evaluating significant reports of actual or alleged violations by employees and executive officers and third-party risks. The Committee also considers and evaluates significant global compliance-related policies, including policies related to pricing and/or commercialization of Company products and services.

 

   

The Finance Committee is responsible for reviewing and providing advice to Mylan’s Board with respect to the Company’s capital structure, capital management, financing and material business transactions and the risks related to such activities.

 

   

The Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for identifying, assisting in recruiting and nominating qualified individuals to become members of Mylan’s Board, recommending committee assignments, overseeing the Board’s annual evaluation of the independence of directors and other risks related to corporate governance.

Board Education

Mylan’s Board or individual members participate in director educational seminars, conferences and other director education programs presented by external and internal resources, on matters that may relate to, among other topics, compensation, governance, board process, risk oversight, business, industry, audit and accounting, credit and financial, regulatory and other current issues. Directors may also elect to attend additional third-party educational events. The Company reimburses the directors for costs associated with any seminars and conferences, including travel expenses.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires all directors and certain executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of Mylan’s equity securities to file with the SEC within specified due dates reports of ownership and reports of changes of ownership of Mylan ordinary shares and the Company’s other equity securities. These persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based on reports and written representations furnished to us by these persons, we believe that all Mylan directors and “officers” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) (“Section 16 Officers”) complied with these filing requirements during 2018.

ITEM 11. Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) describes the compensation of our named executive officers (“NEOs”) for 2018.

Overview

 

Pay-for-Performance Culture

The Compensation Committee and Board believe that each member of the executive team has the critical experience, business skills, leadership, executional capabilities, and commitment to our mission and strategy necessary to lead the Company now and in the future, to the benefit of shareholders and all other stakeholders. Their leadership and execution have led to the development of a durable, diversified, and sustainable company that is built to last, and they continued to perform and execute at high levels during 2018, despite significant industry, regulatory, and other headwinds (for example, delays in approvals by the FDA of generic Copaxone ® and generic Advair Diskus ® ) that impacted our performance in 2018. Although we expect that the healthcare industry will continue to evolve in complex and unpredictable ways, we remain confident that the leadership of our outstanding current executive team will enable Mylan to continue to withstand these headwinds and successfully execute on our strategy.

Given the many headwinds faced, we did not meet all of our challenging compensation metric targets in 2018. As a result — consistent with our long-standing pay-for-performance philosophy — our executive compensation program once again demonstrated the strong alignment between business objectives, Company performance, shareholder interests, and how our leaders are compensated. As a result of not meeting all of our compensation metric targets in 2018, our CEO and other executive compensation has been directly impacted, as highlighted below.

 

   

Awards under the One-Time Special Performance Based Five-Year Realizable Value Incentive Program were forfeited in their entirety because we did not achieve the threshold performance goal related to the adjusted EPS performance metric, which was measured over the five-year period ending on December 31, 2018.

Our annual incentive did pay out at 133% of target due to the strength of our product submissions and cash flow generation, which are each aligned with the long-term growth and sustainability of our Company and in the best interests of shareholders and other stakeholders. However, we did not achieve our threshold goal for our adjusted EPS metric, and therefore executives did not receive any payout with respect to that portion of their annual incentive.

Shareholder Engagement Relating to Executive Compensation and Board Responsiveness

Engaging with our shareholders remains a key priority for the Board, and the Board is committed to maintaining this dialogue to ensure that we continue to explain to shareholders the various facets of our business model and Mylan’s differentiated platform. The dialogue also ensures that we are informed by shareholder perspectives on topics that matter most to them, including with respect to compensation.

Say-on-Pay Responsiveness

Last year, our Say-on-Pay proposal received the support of 65.9% of votes cast – a significant increase from the prior year. While we were encouraged by the significantly increased level of support compared to the prior year, we have continued our robust outreach efforts. In meetings with our directors, shareholders also had the opportunity to speak to independent directors without the Chairman or members of management present. These meetings included institutional investor executives, governance leads and portfolio managers, among others.

We solicited feedback from shareholders regarding their views as to our compensation program and our management team, among the other matters. Shareholders expressed support for members of our executive team and for the structure of our ongoing compensation program. A few shareholders commented on the total reported compensation in our Proxy Statement for the 2017 annual general meeting of shareholders (the “2017 Proxy Statement”) but did not raise concerns with our current compensation program.

In response, we highlighted our simplified compensation program and other recent changes, and discussed actual compensation for our CEO and other executives. Among other things, we explained that our CEO’s compensation, as reported in our Summary Compensation Table in our Proxy Statement for the 2018 annual general meeting of shareholders (the “2018 Proxy Statement”) (which does not include 2018 compensation), had declined in each of 2015 through 2017 and that amount was third lowest in our peer group (including Mylan). We also highlighted that we had completed the reconstitution of our Compensation Committee last year and discussed actions taken by the Board over the past two years.

The Board welcomed these opportunities to discuss our compensation program with shareholders and took that feedback into consideration as we continued to evolve our compensation program. We took the following actions with respect to our compensation programs, among others:

 

Company Actions

   Solicited additional perspective from a second independent compensation consultant specific to NEO market data and compensation program design, which re-confirmed that our program design and 2018 CEO and NEO compensation are in line with peers and market practice;

 

   Eliminated automatic vesting of PRSUs at target performance in the event of our CEO’s or President’s termination without cause or resignation for good reason beginning in 2019;

 

   Eliminated eligibility for severance payments for our CEO and President in the event Mylan offers a renewal at the end of the employment term and the executive declines to continue employment;

 

   Completed refreshment of the Compensation Committee; and

 

   Appointed a new Compensation Committee Chair.

The post-2018 AGM shareholder engagement described above was a continuation of the significantly increased outreach undertaken by the Board following our 2017 annual general meeting of shareholders (“2017 AGM”), when our Say-on-Pay proposal failed to receive majority shareholder support. As previously disclosed, after the 2017 AGM, the Board undertook an extensive shareholder outreach initiative in order to discern and discuss shareholder concerns. Following our 2017 AGM (and prior to our 2018 AGM), five independent directors and the Chairman and, separately, the CEO and other members of management, met with shareholders representing approximately 50% of ordinary shares outstanding, which included over 70% of the shares held by our 50 largest shareholders. While shareholders expressed support for the then-current pay design and mix, prior to the 2018 AGM, a few had questions regarding the total reported 2016 compensation amounts. In addition to explaining the facts and rationale behind our pre-2017 compensation decisions, our independent directors explained that the Compensation Committee had made a number of changes to our pay governance structure and design to address these concerns, including:

 

Company Changes

   Refreshed 2/3 of the Compensation Committee in August 2017;

 

   Consulted with an independent compensation expert to review and refresh the market analysis of 2017 CEO compensation and reconfirm that it is in line with peer practices;

 

   Adopted a third performance metric applicable to 2018 PRSUs tied to the ratio of adjusted free cash flow to “indebtedness” (as defined in our revolving credit agreement dated as of November 22, 2016) (“Adjusted FCF/Credit Agreement Debt”) to incentivize prudent balance sheet management, while maintaining the two previously used performance metrics of ROIC and relative TSR;

 

   Implemented a simplified approach to compensation, which streamlined our NEOs’ 2018 pay mix, which consists primarily of salary, annual cash incentives and long-term equity incentives; and

 

   Revised our CD&A to enhance and streamline disclosure.

 

We believe that our extensive shareholder outreach over the past two years and the changes made to our compensation program prior to the 2018 AGM, as well as other actions by the Board, led to the significantly increased level of support at the 2018 AGM.

Business Performance and How It Aligns to Compensation and Shareholder Interests

Since 2008, we have transformed from a mid-sized U.S. generics company with a workforce of more than 15,000 globally and $5.1 billion in total revenues to a highly differentiated global pharmaceutical company with a global workforce of more than 35,000 and $11.4 billion in total revenues capable of delivering better health to customers around the world. The highlights below are examples of ways in which our outstanding executive team drove performance in 2018 to help ensure long-term sustainability and growth in the interests of shareholders and other stakeholders.

Components of 2018 Executive Compensation

 

Our executive compensation program is designed to incentivize our NEOs to deliver long-term shareholder value and to align the interests of our NEOs with those of our shareholders and other stakeholders. (See page 21 for additional discussion of our philosophy.) We pay our NEOs through three primary components of compensation: base salary, an annual incentive and a long-term incentive. In addition, our NEOs receive certain benefits and perquisites. Our program is heavily weighted toward performance-based compensation and annual and long-term incentive outcomes are primarily dependent on the achievement of outstanding performance results. Our Board and Compensation Committee do not exercise positive discretion in determining annual incentive and long-term incentive payouts.

Compensation Philosophy & Process

 

 

Compensation Philosophy

Mylan’s approach to executive compensation is designed to:

Reinforce Mylan’s performance driven culture: Our performance metrics align to the creation and sustainability of shareholder and other stakeholder value and encourage the behaviors and values expected of Mylan leaders. Our simplified program is weighted more heavily toward long-term incentives to align our executives’ performance with the durability of the business and interests of our shareholders and other stakeholders.

Drive and reward performance: Mylan’s Board has designed programs to ensure continued execution against our strategy to create and maintain a leading, robust, sustainable organization, while aligning compensation with Company performance, shareholder value creation and other stakeholder interests.

Recruit, retain and reward outstanding executive talent: Mylan provides a competitive mix of compensation with an emphasis on long-term incentives to retain high-performing leaders.

Given the disruptions and changes in the management of many companies in our industry, the market for outstanding executive leadership talent is increasingly competitive. Recognizing the significant execution and results generated by our current, long-tenured executive team, as well as the important contributions of so many others in our organization, we design our compensation programs to help ensure that the Company, shareholders and other stakeholders continue to benefit from the talents of our leadership team and global workforce.

2018 Compensation Decisions

 

•   Base Salary: No change was made to Ms. Bresch’s base salary in 2018. As of the end of 2018, it had remained the same since March 2015.

 

•   Annual Incentive: No change was made to Ms. Bresch’s target opportunity in 2018 and, as of the end of 2018, it had remained the same since 2015. Her 2018 payout was $2,599,935, calculated by applying the Company Performance Factor under the plan formula (133.33% of target) (see page 25).

 

•   Long-Term Incentive: No change was made to Ms. Bresch’s target long-term incentive (“LTI”) opportunity in 2018. Ms. Bresch received a LTI grant in March 2018 valued at $9,100,043, of which 70% of the total is performance-based. The LTI award was delivered through PRSUs, RSUs and stock options.

Table of Contents

Base Salary

The Compensation Committee considers a variety of factors in deciding base salary, including, among others: individual performance, responsibilities and expected future performance; Company performance; management structure; marketplace practices; internal pay equity considerations; competitive recruitment for outstanding talent; and the executive’s experience, tenure and leadership. The Compensation Committee also considers, among other factors, what the marketplace would require in terms of the costs to hire a qualified individual to replace an executive, as well as the fact that a new executive would lack the critical knowledge regarding Mylan as compared to the executive he or she would be replacing.

For 2018, the NEOs did not receive base salary increases. Ms. Bresch’s and Mr. Malik’s salaries did not increase from 2015 through 2018, and Mr. Mauro’s salary increased once from 2015 through 2018 upon his promotion to Chief Commercial Officer.

Annual Incentive Compensation

Mylan’s annual incentive compensation consists of performance-based annual cash awards that are determined according to the achievement of objective operational and financial measures identified by the Board as critical to the successful execution of Mylan’s business strategy, which is aligned to the continued creation of shareholder value.

For 2018, the Compensation Committee set challenging performance goals based on three key performance indicators of the current and future strength of our business. In addition, the metrics were selected specifically because they are related to the actions and leadership of our executive team and measure their ability to extract the greatest value from our assets. The Compensation Committee chose to use adjusted metrics for the two financial goals (adjusted EPS and adjusted free cash flow) because it believes that these adjusted metrics present the most consistent measure of evaluating Mylan’s financial performance, and the ongoing operations of the Company.

IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT OUR 2018 ANNUAL INCENTIVE TARGETS

 

 

    
   

 

Adjusted EPS

 

•  Reinforces the importance of a performance measure of earnings, which are expected to have a direct relationship to the price of Mylan’s ordinary shares

•  For 2018, the performance target required meaningful year-over-year growth

 

Global Regulatory Submissions

 

•  Encourages the approval and commercialization of new products to yield new revenue sources that are essential for Mylan to remain competitive, and as such are fundamental to our short- and long-term growth strategy

•  For 2018, the performance target was increased over the 2017 target, but was set below 2017 actual performance because 2017 submissions significantly exceeded expectations and included certain submissions that were previously expected to take place in future years

 

Adjusted Free Cash Flow

 

•  Captures the potential impact of all types of business transactions on the generation of net cash provided by operating activities, adjusted for certain special items and capital expenditures, and strengthens our balance sheet

•  For 2018, the performance target was increased over the 2017 target, but was set below 2017 actual performance because higher working capital is needed to support new product launches in 2018

No annual incentives are paid with respect to a metric if threshold performance is not achieved. Furthermore, the Compensation Committee has committed to not using its discretion to upwardly adjust annual incentive award amounts generated by the performance metrics.

 

* The adjusted EPS amount is derived from Mylan’s audited financial statements in the same manner as Mylan publicly reports adjusted EPS (which for 2018 is reconciled to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure in Appendix A), but for annual incentive plan purposes is measured on a constant currency basis. Adjusted free cash flow is derived from Mylan’s audited financial statements in the same manner as Mylan publicly reports adjusted free cash flow (which for 2018 is reconciled to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure in Appendix A).

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

The Compensation Committee believes that the value of long-term incentives should be directly related to the performance of Mylan’s ordinary shares, as well as other measures associated with the growth, success and long-term sustainability of Mylan. The Compensation Committee has historically approved annual LTI award grants in the first quarter of the fiscal year, with the grant effective following the release of year-end audited financial results with exceptions for new hires, promotions and other special awards, grants or circumstances.

Long-Term Incentive Structure . For 2018, LTI awards were granted to our NEOs in the form of PRSUs, stock options and RSUs in the proportions shown below.

 

Vehicle    LTI Mix    Incentive Opportunity    Vesting Schedule

PRSUs

Performance

   50%    PRSUs provide value based on Mylan’s ROIC, Adjusted FCF/Credit Agreement Debt and relative TSR performance, strongly linking payouts with long-term value creation    PRSUs cliff-vest at the end of the three-year performance period based on the achievement of pre-determined performance criteria, generally provided that the NEO remains continuously employed by Mylan

Stock Options

Performance

   20%    Stock options provide value only if Mylan’s ordinary share price is greater than the grant date ordinary share price    Stock options vest in three equal annual installments, generally provided that the NEO remains continuously employed by Mylan

RSUs

Time

   30%    RSU value increases/decreases with ordinary share price performance and provides a strong retention incentive    RSUs vest in three equal annual installments, generally provided that the NEO remains continuously employed by Mylan

This mix of LTI awards provides our NEOs with a combination of incentive opportunities, aligns our NEOs with the interests of our shareholders and ensures each vehicle has its own risk-reward profile with a unique benefit. The mix of the 2018 LTI awards was consistent with the mix of the 2017 LTI awards. The Compensation Committee believes the 2018 LTI mix provides a strong performance alignment, with 70% of the mix in PRSUs or stock options, and that such mix is consistent with Mylan’s unique performance-driven culture. The RSUs create ownership alignment with shareholders and provide a stable element of long-term compensation to encourage retention of executive talent.

Each NEO’s 2018 LTI award had a targeted value at grant equal to a percentage of the NEO’s base salary. In setting each NEO’s LTI targeted value, the Compensation Committee considered a variety of factors, including, among others, peer group compensation, expectations regarding individual performance and tenure.

For 2018, the Compensation Committee approved the following annual LTI award values for our NEOs:

2018 Three-Year PRSU Performance Metrics

In 2018, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of PRSUs subject to two equally weighted financial performance metrics (i.e., Adjusted FCF/Credit Agreement Debt and ROIC) and one share performance metric (i.e., relative TSR), which is used as a modifier to determine the final payout percentage, as described below. The Adjusted FCF/Credit Agreement Debt performance metric was added to this year’s grant to further incentivize prudent balance sheet management.

As shown in the table below, payouts under these PRSUs will be determined in two steps. First, the outcome of the ROIC and Adjusted FCF/Credit Agreement Debt metrics will be assessed, resulting in an initial payout percentage of 50% for threshold performance (with 0% payout for below threshold performance) up to 150% for maximum performance, with linear interpolation for achievement between threshold and maximum. Second, the relative TSR metric will be applied as a modifier to the initial payout percentage, decreasing it by 20%, leaving it unaffected or increasing it by 20%, as indicated in the table below, in order to calculate the final payout percentage.

ROIC is calculated from Mylan’s audited financial statements in the same manner as set forth in the reconciliations provided in Appendix A.

**

Adjusted FCF/Credit Agreement Debt is first calculated for each year in the performance period as the ratio of adjusted free cash flow (calculated in the same manner as for annual incentive compensation purposes) to ”indebtedness” (as defined in our revolving credit agreement dated as of November 22, 2016), and the values for each year in the performance period are then averaged to determine Adjusted FCF/Credit Agreement Debt. Credit Agreement Debt is calculated from Mylan’s audited financial statements in the same manner as set forth in the reconciliations provided in Appendix A, subject to adjustment following the end of the performance period on a pro forma basis in the event of a material acquisition of products or assets during the applicable fiscal year that has a material impact on indebtedness during the fiscal quarter in which such acquisition closes.

***

Relative TSR is calculated by comparing the difference between Mylan’s 30-day trailing average closing ordinary share price at the day before the beginning of the performance period and the day before the end of the performance period plus any dividends paid during the performance period against the same metric for each company in our peer group.

PRSUs Granted in 2016 (Three-Year Performance Period)

For PRSUs granted prior to 2018, including the PRSUs granted in 2016, the Company utilized ROIC and relative TSR as metrics, equally weighted, and with a potential payout from 50% (for performance at threshold) to 150% (for performance at maximum), with linear interpolation if performance was between threshold and maximum. No payout would be made if performance was below threshold.

The Company achieved threshold performance with respect to the ROIC metric and below-threshold-performance with respect to the relative TSR metric. As a result, the NEOs received a payout for the 2016 PRSUs at 25% of the target number of shares.

When applying the Mylan closing ordinary share price at vesting of $32.10, the NEOs received approximately 17% of the targeted grant date value of the award.

Limited Perquisites

Perquisites include the following:

 

   

Each NEO receives a car allowance or the use of a leased vehicle and payment of certain ancillary expenses. The NEOs are responsible for paying any taxes incurred relating to this perquisite.

 

   

Our NEOs take an extraordinarily active approach to overseeing and managing our global operations, which necessitates a significant amount of U.S. domestic and international travel time due to our diverse set of business centers, manufacturing and other facilities and many client and vendor locations around the world. Mylan provides management with access to corporate aircraft to assist in the management of Mylan’s global platform by providing a more efficient and secure traveling environment, including where sensitive business issues may be discussed or reviewed, as well as maximum flexibility to our executives in the conduct of Company business. For reasons of business efficiency and continued security-related concerns (including personal security, especially given the global nature of Mylan’s business, as well as privacy of business information and communications), we have required Ms. Bresch to use Mylan aircraft for business and personal purposes.

During 2018, other leaders from time-to-time also were authorized to have personal use of the corporate aircraft for similar reasons. The Compensation Committee monitors business and personal aircraft usage on a quarterly basis. To the extent any travel on the corporate aircraft results in imputed taxable income to an NEO, Mylan does not provide gross-up payments to cover the NEO’s personal income tax obligation due to such imputed income. For a summary of how this perquisite is calculated, see footnote (7)(b) to the Summary Compensation Table (see page 38).

 

   

Executives will also receive tax equalization payments for incremental tax liabilities, if any, incurred as a result of attendance at meetings of the Board in the U.K.

Role of the Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee, comprised solely of independent directors, oversees the design and implementation of our executive compensation programs. The Compensation Committee reviews and evaluates the performance of our NEOs and determines their compensation and objectives, or, in the case of our CEO and President, recommends compensation and objectives to the independent, non-executive members of the Board. The Compensation Committee monitors compensation trends and developments periodically and undertakes a comprehensive assessment of our compensation programs at least annually. In fulfilling these responsibilities, the Compensation Committee utilizes the support of independent compensation consulting firms, independent outside counsel and an internal executive compensation team.

In 2018, the Compensation Committee retained Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC (“Meridian”) and also received input from Pay Governance LLC (“Pay Governance”) to provide advice and information regarding the design and implementation of Mylan’s executive compensation programs. Meridian and Pay Governance also provided information to the Compensation Committee regarding regulatory and other technical developments that may be relevant to Mylan’s executive compensation programs. In addition, Meridian provided the Compensation Committee with competitive market information, analyses and trends on executive base salary, annual incentives, long-term incentives, benefits and perquisites.

The Compensation Committee also receives advice from outside counsel including, but not limited to, Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP and NautaDutilh N.V.

The Compensation Committee performs an annual review of the independence of its outside advisors, consistent with NASDAQ requirements and the Compensation Committee charter.

Compensation Committee Process

Our culture and our success continue to depend on our ability to attract and retain talented leaders in critical roles.

The decisions of the Compensation Committee and the independent directors relating to executive compensation each year reflect a variety of quantitative metrics in addition to qualitative analysis. The Compensation Committee’s decisions reflect its members’ individual and collective experience and business judgment, and are based on extensive interactions with independent third-party consultants, management and our assessment of some or all of the following factors, among others:

 

 

Assessment Factors Include

 

  Company performance (relative to peers and budget);

 

  Talents, experience and tenure of members of our management team;

 

  Individual leadership performance and contributions to the success of Mylan;

 

  Responsibilities of, and future expectations for, the individual;

 

  Short-, medium- and long-term personnel needs of Mylan;

 

  The need to reward and retain our uniquely talented NEOs and other key employees;

 

  Other qualitative contributions of each NEO, including, among others, the actual and potential value and impact of his or her leadership style, strategic vision and execution, talent development, and ability to adapt to and drive the change necessary to our success;

 

  Peer group pay levels and published survey data; and

 

  Advice from independent external experts and advisors.

 

We consider these and other qualitative and quantitative factors from time-to-time in assessing our compensation philosophy and approach, in addition to using these factors to make individual compensation decisions. In addition, our independent directors are intimately familiar with matters that the Board oversees and guides, including the Company’s business, strategies, challenges and opportunities. They apply their independent judgment and experience to assess the unique respective talents, contributions, leadership, responsibilities and future expectations of the executives who drive performance and long-term sustainability.

Peer Group

While the competitive market for our executives is one factor the Compensation Committee considers when making compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee does not target the compensation of NEOs within a specific percentile of any set of peer companies. As noted, the Compensation Committee considers peer group and industry data along with many other factors when determining compensation programs.

The peer group is used as a reference point for compensation information for NEOs and for assessing the relative TSR metric applicable to PRSUs. Due in part to Mylan’s unique position in the market and long-tenured management team, pay is not formulaically tied to a particular percentile of the peer group. In 2017, the Committee restructured the peer group to include 13 companies, six of which were also in the 2016 peer group. The 2017 peer group provided a more direct focus on Mylan’s business competitors and the companies Mylan competes with for executive talent. The Committee used this same peer group for 2018.

In April 2019, Celgene Corp. stockholders approved the company’s acquisition by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company. With the transaction expected to close in the third quarter of 2019, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, Celgene will no longer be included in the Company’s peer group for purposes of determining Mylan’s relative TSR under the 2017 and 2018 PRSU grants.

Consideration of Risk in Company Compensation Policies

The Compensation Committee has considered risk management in determining compensation policies and believes that our compensation programs are designed to encourage outstanding, consistent, sustainable business performance over extended periods of time. Management and the Compensation Committee have considered and discussed the risks inherent in our business and the design of our compensation plans, policies and programs that are intended to drive the achievement of our long-term business objectives while avoiding excessive short-term risk-taking. In addition, we utilize a mix of objective performance measures, so that undue emphasis is not placed on one particular measure and employ different types of compensation to provide value over the short-, medium- and long-term. These performance measures are reevaluated annually in light of the evolving risk environment facing our business. When making compensation decisions, we also consider qualitative factors to avoid the consequence that an overly formulaic approach may have on excessive risk-taking by management.

The Compensation Committee believes that our compensation policies and practices do not encourage excessive risk and are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Other Compensation Matters and Considerations

 

Employment Agreements

We believe it is important to have employment agreements with our executive officers and other key employees. These agreements memorialize certain key terms of employment, including termination rights and obligations, non-competition and other restrictive covenants and compensation matters, and we believe thereby enhance the stability and continuity of our employment relationships. Each of the NEOs, other than Mr. Gallagher who departed from the Company effective April 2, 2019, is currently party to an employment agreement with Mylan Inc.

Employment Agreements in 2018

Mylan Inc. was party to employment agreements with each of the NEOs in 2018. The information below is based on the employment agreements in effect as of December 31, 2018. See below for a brief description of the Employment Agreements and Consulting Agreement entered into by Mylan Inc. with the NEOs in February 2019.

Mylan Inc. entered into amended and restated employment agreements with Ms. Bresch and Mr. Malik in February 2014, each effective January 1, 2014 (through December 31, 2018, unless earlier terminated or extended in accordance with its terms); entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Parks in April 2016, effective June 6, 2016; entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Gallagher in March 2017, effective April 1, 2017; and entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Mauro in October 2011, effective January 1, 2012, which was further amended on April 10, 2015 and January 8, 2016. Each of these agreements provides for the payment of a minimum base salary, as of December 31, 2018, of $1,300,000; $685,000; $1,000,000; $800,000 and $700,000, with respect to Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Parks, Malik, Gallagher and Mauro, respectively, subject to reduction only in the event of similar decreases among Mylan’s executives. Each employment agreement also provides for the executive’s eligibility to receive fringe benefits of employment as are customarily provided to senior executives of Mylan.

The agreements, as of December 31, 2018, provide for a target bonus equal to 150%, 115%, 125%, 115% and 115% of base salary with respect to Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Parks, Malik, Gallagher and Mauro, respectively. Each of the agreements also provide that throughout the term of the agreement and for a period of one year following the executive’s termination of employment for any reason, the executive may not engage in activities that are competitive with the Company’s activities and may not solicit the Company’s customers or employees.

For a description of the termination provisions under these agreements, please see “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” on page 44 of this Amendment.

New Agreements with Executives in 2019

In early 2019, the Compensation Committee and Board decided to renew the contracts of our executive officers. In making this decision, the Compensation Committee considered, among other factors, the applicable executive’s experience, executional capabilities, business skills, long-term performance and contributions, leadership, and commitment to our mission and strategy. The Compensation Committee also considered the outstanding track record of each executive, the importance of stability in a complex and changing environment and the future needs of, and potential opportunities for, the Company. As noted, we expect that industry, market, and regulatory conditions over the next several years will continue to be extremely challenging, and that the healthcare industry will continue to evolve in complex and unpredictable ways. We remain confident that Mylan can continue to withstand these headwinds, in large part due to our current executive team. In addition, the Compensation Committee noted the disruptions and changes in the management of certain companies in our

Table of Contents

industry, and the fact that the market for outstanding executive leadership talent continues to be extremely and increasingly competitive. The Compensation Committee and the Board therefore determined that securing the retention of our current executive team was crucial to our continued progress in building a sustainable company that serves the interests of shareholders and other stakeholders.

On February 25, 2019, Mylan Inc. therefore extended the employment agreements of Heather Bresch, Chief Executive Officer, Rajiv Malik, President, Ken Parks, Chief Financial Officer, and Anthony Mauro, Chief Commercial Officer. The term of the agreements extends through April 1, 2024 for Ms. Bresch and through April 1, 2022 for each of Messrs. Malik, Parks and Mauro, and each will renew for successive one-year terms thereafter. Pursuant to the extended agreements, base salaries are $1,500,000 for Ms. Bresch, $1,150,000 for Mr. Malik, and $800,000 for Messrs. Parks and Mauro. Ms. Bresch is eligible for a target annual bonus of 150% of base salary and Messrs. Malik, Parks and Mauro are eligible for target annual bonuses of 125%, 115% and 115% of base salary, respectively.

As previously disclosed on February 11, 2019, Daniel M. Gallagher, Chief Legal Officer, informed Mylan that he intended to return to private practice in the Washington, D.C. area at the conclusion of the term of his employment agreement in April 2019. On February 25, 2019, Mylan Inc. and Mr. Gallagher entered into a consulting agreement setting forth the terms of his separation and continuing consulting role for up to 12 months following the separation date. Mr. Gallagher received or will receive (i) a cash payment of $800,000 payable pursuant to his former employment agreement, (ii) payments of $50,000 per month in consideration of the consulting services to be provided, (iii) eligibility for continued vesting of 32,354 time-based RSUs and unvested retirement plan contributions through the term of the consulting agreement and (iv) continued medical and welfare benefits through the 12-month anniversary of his separation pursuant to his former employment agreement.

The description of the employment agreements and consulting agreement is qualified by reference to the agreements, copies of which are filed as exhibits to our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Transition and Succession Agreements

Mylan Inc. is party to separate Transition and Succession Agreements with each NEO with an aim to assuring that Mylan will have the NEO’s full attention and dedication to Mylan during the pendency of a possible change in control transaction that might optimize shareholder value, and to provide the officer with compensation and benefits in connection with a change in control. The Transition and Succession Agreements are independent of each NEO’s employment agreement.

Subsequent to the execution of certain legacy agreements, Mylan adopted a policy that no new Transition and Succession Agreements will provide for an excise tax gross-up for golden parachute payments. Consistent with this commitment, the Transition and Succession Agreement with Mr. Parks does not, and the Transition and Succession Agreement with Mr. Gallagher did not, contain excise tax gross-ups. For legal and other considerations, the policy does not apply retroactively to the Transition and Succession Agreements executed prior to the new policy. Mylan does not have the right to unilaterally abrogate pre-existing binding contracts with its executives, and does not believe it would be in shareholders’ best interests to expend funds to “buy out” the executives from these rights. Since implementation of the new policy, no new or amended Transition and Succession Agreements with excise tax gross-up provisions have been executed and several have expired as executives have ceased to be actively employed with Mylan. The agreement with Mr. Parks provides, and the agreement with Mr. Gallagher provided, that their compensation will, in the event subject to an excise tax on any golden parachute payments, be subject to a “best net” approach. Pursuant to this approach, they would receive the full amount of such payments or the greatest amount of such payments that would not subject them to the excise tax, whichever would result in the greatest after-tax amount.

For more information on these Transition and Succession Agreements, see the section below entitled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” beginning on page 44 of this Amendment.

Retirement Benefits

Mylan Inc. previously entered into Retirement Benefit Agreements (“RBAs”) with Ms. Bresch and Mr. Malik in recognition of their service to Mylan, to encourage their retention and to provide a supplemental form of retirement and death benefit. For a detailed description of the RBAs with Ms. Bresch and Mr. Malik, see the section below entitled “Retirement Benefit Agreements” beginning on page 43 of this Amendment.

Mylan also maintains a 401(k) Restoration Plan (the “Restoration Plan”) and an Income Deferral Plan permitting senior-level employees to elect to defer the receipt of a portion of their compensation and, in the case of the Restoration Plan, providing matching contributions to employees who make such an election. However, effective April 1, 2013, Mylan modified the Restoration Plan so that U.S. employees with an RBA would no longer receive matching contributions under the Restoration Plan.

As previously disclosed, when Mr. Malik joined Mylan in January 2007, Mylan established a nonqualified deferred compensation plan on his behalf. Although Mylan no longer contributes to the plan account, it will be distributed to Mr. Malik upon termination of his employment, or upon other qualifying distribution events, such as his retirement, disability or death or Mylan’s termination of the plan.

The footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table include changes in pension values calculated based on certain actuarial assumptions regarding discount rates. In computing these amounts, we used the same assumptions that were used to determine the expense amounts recognized in our 2018 financial statements. In 2018, the impact of an increase in the applicable discount rates led to a decrease in the present value of accumulated benefits of approximately $380,100 for Ms. Bresch and approximately $186,400 for Mr. Malik.

Ordinary Share Ownership Requirements for NEOs

The ownership requirements are expressed as a multiple of base salary as follows:

 

Position

 

  

 

Ownership Requirement  

(Multiple of Base Salary)  

 

 

 

CEO

 

  

 

 

 

 

6x  

 

 

 

 

 

President

 

  

 

 

 

 

4x  

 

 

 

 

 

Other NEOs

 

  

 

 

 

 

3x  

 

 

 

 

As of December 31, 2018, all NEOs exceeded their ownership requirements. In addition to the NEOs, Mylan’s ordinary share ownership policy covers the most senior employees at Mylan to promote an ownership culture and stronger alignment with the interests of shareholders among the broader leadership team. Each covered employee generally has five years from the date they became subject to the policy to achieve the minimum ownership requirement. Ordinary shares actually owned by the covered employee (including ordinary shares held by the covered employee in Mylan’s 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan), as well as restricted ordinary shares and unvested RSUs and PRSUs count toward compliance with these requirements.

Clawback Policy

The Board has approved a clawback policy relating to incentive compensation programs. The provisions of the policy allow Mylan to recoup certain bonus and equity-based incentive compensation gains resulting from specified misconduct that causes Mylan to materially restate its financial statements. The Board considers updates to this policy from time-to-time. In addition, to the extent that the SEC adopts rules for clawback policies that require changes to our policy, we will respond accordingly.

Anti-Hedging and Pledging Policy

The Company has a securities trading policy that prohibits directors and “officers” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act (“Section 16 Officers”) and their respective designees from trading in certain types of hedging instruments relating to our securities or otherwise engaging in any transaction that limits or eliminates, or is designed to limit or eliminate, economic risks associated with the ownership of our securities. Hedging instruments include prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, exchange funds, insurance contracts, short sales, options, puts, calls or other instruments that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, movements in the market value of our securities. For purposes of this policy, our securities include ordinary shares and options to purchase ordinary shares, and any other type of securities that we may issue, including but not limited to, preferred shares, notes, debentures, and warrants issued by Mylan N.V. or any parent, subsidiary, or subsidiary of any parent of Mylan N.V., as well as any derivative financial instruments pertaining to such securities, whether or not issued by us, such as options and forward contracts.

The policy also prohibits directors and Section 16 Officers and their respective designees from entering into any transaction that involves the holding of our securities in a margin account (other than the “cashless exercise” of stock options) or the pledging of our securities as collateral for loans. The Compensation Committee may approve exceptions to the prohibition on the use of margin accounts or pledging or securities if, among other factors, the director or Section 16 Officer demonstrates, in advance, that he or she has the continuing financial capacity to repay any underlying loan or potential margin call without resorting to our securities held in such margin account or our pledged securities and is not in possession of any material information about the Company that has not been made widely available to the investing public.

Deductibility Cap on Executive Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as in effect for years prior to 2018, restricted the deductibility for federal income tax purposes of the compensation paid to the CEO and each of the other NEOs who was an executive officer at the end of the applicable fiscal year (other than the Chief Financial Officer) for such fiscal year to the extent that such compensation for such executive exceeds $1 million and does not qualify as “qualified performance-based compensation” as defined under Section 162(m) of the Code. The Compensation Committee historically considered available opportunities to deduct compensation paid to NEOs for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was enacted on December 22, 2017, eliminated the exception for “performance-based” compensation and expanded the number of executives to which the 162(m) limit may apply. As a result, except to the extent provided in limited transition relief, compensation over $1 million paid to any NEO will no longer be deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code. The Board and the Compensation Committee reserve the right to provide compensation to our executives that is not deductible, including but not limited to when necessary to comply with contractual commitments, or to maintain the flexibility needed to attract talent, promote retention or recognize and reward desired performance.

Compensation Committee Report

We have reviewed and discussed the CD&A with management. Based on such review and discussions, we recommended to the Board that the CD&A be included in this Amendment.

(1)

Represents the value of the base salary actually paid to the NEO in 2018, 2017 or 2016. The annual base salary approved by the Compensation Committee for each of the NEOs is payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices for its senior executives, so that an NEO’s total base salary amount is paid in 26 bi-weekly installments.

(2)

For Mr. Parks, the amount shown for 2016 represents the value of his sign-on bonus, which is subject to full or partial repayment in the event Mr. Parks leaves Mylan prior to the third anniversary of his joining Mylan. For Mr. Gallagher, the amount shown for 2017 represents the value of his sign-on bonus, which was subject to full or partial repayment in the event Mr. Gallagher left Mylan prior to the first anniversary of his joining Mylan (except in certain circumstances).

(3)

Represents the grant date fair value of the stock awards granted to the NEO in 2018, 2017 or 2016, as applicable. The grant date fair value of PRSUs for 2018 is based on the target value and is as follows: Ms. Bresch ($4,550,005), Mr. Parks ($1,250,036), Mr. Malik ($3,000,028), Mr. Gallagher ($1,600,001) and Mr. Mauro ($1,250,036). If the maximum achievement of performance goals had been assumed, the grant date fair value of the PRSUs for 2018, would have been as follows: Ms. Bresch ($8,190,026), Mr. Parks ($2,250,072), Mr. Malik ($5,400,051), Mr. Gallagher ($2,880,027), and Mr. Mauro ($2,250,072). For Mr. Parks, the amount shown for 2016 also includes the grant date fair value of PRSUs granted to him under the One-Time Special Five-Year Performance-Based Realizable Value Incentive Program, which was $1,566,811, which assumes achievement of performance targets at maximum level. For Mr. Gallagher, the amount shown for 2017 also includes the grant date fair value of PRSUs granted to him under the One-Time Special Five-Year Performance-Based Realizable Value Incentive Program, which was $1,546,152, which assumes the achievement of performance targets at maximum level. For information regarding assumptions used in determining the expense of such awards, please refer to Note 12 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements contained in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

(4)

Represents the grant date fair value of the option awards granted to the NEO in 2018, 2017 or 2016, as applicable.

(5)

Represents amounts paid under the Company’s non-equity incentive compensation plan. For a discussion of this plan, see the CD&A set forth above.

(6)

Represents the aggregate change in present value of the applicable NEO’s accumulated benefit under his or her respective RBA. In computing these amounts, we used the same assumptions that were used to determine the expense amounts recognized in our 2018 financial statements. In 2018, the impact of an increase in the applicable discount rates led to a decrease in the present value of accumulated benefits of approximately $380,100 for Ms. Bresch and approximately $186,400 for Mr. Malik. For further information concerning the RBAs, see the Pension Benefits for 2018 Table set forth below and the section below entitled “Retirement Benefit Agreements,” beginning on page 43 of this Amendment.

(a)

In the case of Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Parks, Gallagher and Mauro, these numbers represent a vehicle allowance and ancillary expenses associated with such vehicle. In the case of Mr. Malik, this number represents the cost of a vehicle (based on lease value), insurance and ancillary expenses associated with such vehicle.

(b)

Amounts disclosed represent the actual aggregate incremental costs incurred by Mylan associated with the personal use of the Company’s aircraft. Incremental costs include annual average hourly fuel and maintenance costs, landing and parking fees, customs and handling charges, passenger catering and ground transportation, crew travel expenses, away from home hanger fees and other trip-related variable costs. Because the aircrafts are used primarily for business travel, incremental costs exclude fixed costs that do not change based on usage, such as pilots’ salaries, aircraft purchase or lease costs, home-base hangar costs and certain maintenance fees. Aggregate incremental cost as so determined with respect to personal deadhead flights is allocable to the NEO. In certain instances where there are both business and personal passengers, the incremental costs per hour are pro-rated.

(c)

Expatriate benefits for Mr. Malik represent income taxes paid by Mylan in connection with Mr. Malik’s expatriate assignment to the United States from India effective January 1, 2012. Specifically, Mr. Malik is responsible for, and has continued to pay taxes equal to those he would have been obligated to pay had he maintained his principal work location and residence in India rather than having transferred, at Mylan’s request, to the United States, while Mylan generally pays for all additional taxes, including Mr. Malik’s tax obligations on the imputed income associated with Mylan’s payment of taxes on his behalf. Beginning in 2016, Mr. Malik no longer receives a tax equalization benefit in respect of his LTI awards. Amounts shown for 2017 and 2016 for Mr. Malik are net of Mylan’s estimated tax refunds for each year. There are no estimated tax refunds for 2018. The estimated refunds were $15,685 for 2017 and approximately $0.2 million for 2016.

(d)

For 2018, amounts disclosed included, for Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Parks, Malik, Gallagher and Mauro, a matching contribution of $10,980, $5,269, $10,800, $6,154, and $11,300, respectively, and a profit sharing contribution received in April 2019 in respect of fiscal year 2018 equal to $13,750 for each NEO, except for Mr. Gallagher. For 2017, amounts disclosed included, for Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Parks, Malik, Gallagher and Mauro, a matching contribution of $10,920, $4,615, $10,800, $4,539 and $10,738, respectively, and a profit sharing contribution received in March 2018 in respect of fiscal year 2017 equal to $13,500 for each NEO. In March 2017, the Company made a profit sharing contribution to each NEO, other than Mr. Gallagher, in respect of fiscal year 2016 equal to $13,250. For 2016, amounts disclosed included, for Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Parks, Malik and Mauro, a matching contribution of $10,869, $6,908, $10,600 and $9,785, respectively, and, for Ms. Bresch and Mr. Mauro, a profit sharing contribution from the Company of $18,550.

(e)

For 2018, amounts disclosed included, for Messrs. Parks, Gallagher and Mauro, a matching contribution under the Restoration Plan of $47,910, $25,846 and $49,200, respectively, and a profit sharing contribution under the Restoration Plan received in April 2019 in respect of fiscal year 2018 for each of Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Parks, Malik and Mauro equal to $148,750, $59,888, $98,750 and $61,500, respectively. Mr. Gallagher did not receive this contribution because of his termination on April 2, 2019. For 2017, amounts disclosed included, for Messrs. Parks, Gallagher and Mauro, a matching contribution under the Restoration Plan of $20,509, $13,200 and $54,793, respectively, and a profit sharing contribution under the Restoration Plan received in March 2018 in respect of fiscal year 2017 for each of Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Parks, Malik, Gallagher and Mauro equal to $165,331, $52,931, $109,469, $16,500 and $68,492, respectively. In March 2017, the Company made a profit sharing contribution to each of Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Parks, Malik and Mauro under the Restoration Plan in respect of fiscal year 2016 equal to $246,750, $4,058, $161,750 and $93,740, respectively. Ms. Bresch is no longer eligible to receive a matching contribution under the Restoration Plan. Although Mr. Malik became eligible to participate in Mylan’s U.S. retirement plans in 2016, he is not eligible to receive a matching contribution under the Restoration Plan. See page 43 of this Amendment for further information regarding Restoration Plan contributions.

(f)

Represents events for all NEOs other than Mr. Gallagher for 2017; life insurance retention plan premium for Ms. Bresch and Mr. Mauro; long-term disability premiums; a health insurance premium for Mr. Malik; for 2016 only, contributions to the Provident Fund, a statutory plan in India, for Mr. Malik; for 2016 only, matching of certain charitable contributions for Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Malik and Mauro; for 2018 and 2016 only, certain personal security services for Ms. Bresch; and tax preparation services related to U.K. tax returns for all NEOs other than Mr. Gallagher for 2017.

Subject to applicable employment agreement provisions, following termination of employment, vested stock options will generally remain exercisable for 30 days following termination, except that (i) in the case of termination because of disability, 100% of options become vested and vested options will remain exercisable for two years following termination; (ii) in the case of a termination due to a reduction in force, vested options will remain exercisable for one year following termination; (iii) in the case of death, including within two years following termination because of disability, or, in the case of options granted prior to January 1, 2017, retirement, 100% of options become vested and vested options will remain exercisable for the remainder of the original term; and (iv) in the case of an involuntary termination without cause or a voluntary resignation for good reason that occurs within two years following a change in control, 100% of options become vested (double-trigger awards). In the case of options granted in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 or 2018 to Ms. Bresch, and in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 or 2018 to Mr. Malik, and, solely with respect to options granted to Mr. Gallagher in 2017, following termination of employment without “cause” or resignation for “good reason” as defined in the applicable employment agreement, 100% of options become vested and vested options will remain exercisable for one year following termination.

In accordance with their terms, all of these awards would vest upon an involuntary termination without cause or a voluntary resignation for good reason that occurs within two years following a change in control (double-trigger awards) or upon the executive’s death or disability. In the case of awards granted to Ms. Bresch and Messrs.

(4)

These awards consist of restricted ordinary shares under the One-Time Special Five-Year Performance-Based Realizable Value Incentive Program. The One-Time Special Five-Year Performance-Based Realizable Value Incentive Program is described in detail in the Proxy Statement for Mylan Inc.’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. These awards have been forfeited as a result of the performance criteria having not been met.

(5)

The PRSUs are expected to vest upon the earliest to occur of (i) March 3, 2020 or March 2, 2021, as applicable, provided that the performance goals have been satisfied, (ii) an involuntary termination without cause or a voluntary resignation for good reason within two years following a change in control, (iii) the executive’s death or disability, and (iv) in the case of awards granted to Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Malik and Gallagher (for Mr. Gallagher, solely with respect to PRSUs granted in 2017), the executive’s termination without “cause,” or resignation for “good reason” as defined in the applicable employment agreement. Any outstanding ordinary shares subject to the award that remain unvested as of March 3, 2020 or March 2, 2021, as applicable, will be forfeited.

(6)

Retirement Programs and Employment Agreements

 

 

Restoration Plan

The Restoration Plan permits employees (including NEOs) who earn compensation in excess of the limits imposed by Section 401(a)(17) of the Code to (i) defer a portion of base salary and bonus compensation, (ii) be credited with a Company matching contribution in respect of deferrals under the Restoration Plan and (iii) be credited with Company non-elective contributions (to the extent so made by Mylan), in each case, to the extent that participants otherwise would be able to defer or be credited with such amounts, as applicable, under Mylan’s 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan if not for the limits on contributions and deferrals imposed by the Code. Company matching contributions immediately vest and Company profit sharing contributions are subject to an initial three-year vesting period. Upon a change in control (as defined in the Restoration Plan), a participant will become 100% vested in any unvested portion of his or her profit sharing contributions. Distributions of such participant’s vested account balance will be made in a lump sum within 60 days following a participant’s separation from service (or such later date as may be required by Section 409A of the Code).

Ms. Bresch and Mr. Malik are not eligible to receive matching contributions under the Restoration Plan.

Retirement Benefit Agreements

Mylan Inc. entered into RBAs with Ms. Bresch and Mr. Malik in August 2009. Pursuant to the RBAs of Ms. Bresch and Mr. Malik, upon retirement following completion of 10 or more years of service, each executive would be entitled to receive a lump sum retirement benefit equal to the present value of an annual payment of 20% and 15%, respectively, of the sum of their base salary and target annual bonus on the date of retirement, for a period of 15 years, discounted to the executive’s current age from age 55 if such executive retires prior to attaining age 55 (“retirement benefit”). Having completed at least 10 years of continuous service as an executive, Ms. Bresch and Mr. Malik are each 100% vested in their retirement benefit under the RBAs.

Each of the RBAs provides that the executive is prohibited for one year following termination from engaging in activities that are competitive with the Company’s activities, provided that this provision will have no effect if, after the occurrence of a change in control, Mylan refuses, fails to make or disputes any payments to be made to the executive under the RBA, whether or not the executive actually receives payments under the RBA.

Each of the RBAs provides that during the five-year period following termination, except for any termination occurring following a change in control, Mylan may request that the executive provide consulting services for the Company, which services will be reasonable in scope, duration and frequency and may not exceed 20 hours per month. The hourly rate for such consulting services will be determined by the parties at the time, but may not be less than $500 per hour, payable monthly. The executive would also be entitled to reimbursement of all out-of-pocket expenses he or she incurs directly in the course of providing these services.

Information concerning the estimated value of benefits under Ms. Bresch’s and Mr. Malik’s RBAs assuming retirement as of December 31, 2018, is in the section below entitled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control,” beginning on page  44 of this Amendment.

As previously disclosed in 2007, Mylan established a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for Mr. Malik, who was then living outside the U.S. and therefore unable to participate in Mylan’s 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan. Although Mylan no longer contributes to the account, the plan account will be distributed to Mr. Malik upon termination of the plan, the termination of Mr. Malik’s employment or other qualifying distribution events, such as his retirement, disability or death.

The following discussion summarizes the potential payments and benefits that the NEOs would have received following a termination of employment on December 31, 2018 by Mylan without “cause”, by the NEO for “good reason” (each as defined in the applicable agreement), due to his or her death or disability or as a result of a CIC Termination (as defined below), in each case, pursuant to the terms of the employment agreements, RBAs, Transition and Succession Agreements and LTI award agreements in effect as of December 31, 2018. A “CIC Termination” occurs if an NEO’s employment is terminated other than for cause or if he or she terminates employment for good reason, in each case, prior to a change in control under certain circumstances, within two years following the occurrence of a change in control or, for Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Malik and Mauro only, for any reason within 90 days following the first anniversary of a change in control.

All potential payments and benefits in connection with a change in control are “double-trigger”, meaning they require a change in control and a termination of employment in order to be paid. As described above, following the Compensation Committee’s determination that the performance criteria had not been met, the awards granted under the One-Time Special Five-Year Performance-Based Realizable Value Incentive Program were forfeited, and therefore no value is attributable to them here. All payments and benefits would be reduced by Company-provided death or disability benefits in the event of termination of the NEO’s employment due to death or disability.

As described above, Mr. Gallagher’s employment with Mylan terminated on April 2, 2019. For a description of the payments and benefits Mr. Gallagher received in connection with such termination, please see above, at “New Agreements with Executives in 2019”.

Heather Bresch

Resignation for Good Reason, Termination Without Cause or Termination due to Death or Disability Absent a Change in Control . If Ms. Bresch’s employment was terminated on December 31, 2018 by Mylan without cause, by her for good reason or due to her death or disability absent a change in control, she would have been entitled to (1) a lump sum payment equal to two times her annual base salary, (2) two years of health benefits, (3) a pro rata bonus based on actual performance, (4) full vesting of her LTI awards (with any performance conditions deemed achieved at “target” levels) and (5) a lump sum payment equal to her already vested RBA benefit.

The estimated values of such payments and benefits, assuming a December 31, 2018 termination, would have been (i) $5,232,326, in respect of cash severance and other benefits, (ii) $12,519,718, in respect of the vesting of LTI awards and (iii) $6,355,779, in respect of Ms. Bresch’s already vested RBA benefit.

Termination in Connection with a Change in Control . If Ms. Bresch incurred a CIC Termination on December 31, 2018, she would have been entitled to the payments and benefits provided for above, except that her severance payment under (1) would be equal to three times the sum of her base salary and highest bonus paid and she would receive three years of continued health and other benefits. Ms. Bresch’s Transition and Succession Agreement also provides for a gross-up payment for any excise tax on “excess parachute payments.”

The estimated values of such payments and benefits, assuming a December 31, 2018 termination, would have been (i) $18,670,241, in respect of cash severance and other benefits, (ii) $12,519,718, in respect of the vesting of LTI awards and (iii) $6,355,779, in respect of Ms. Bresch’s already vested RBA benefit. Based on these values, Ms. Bresch would not have been subject to the 280G excise tax; therefore, no value is attributable to her contractual gross-up obligation for purposes of this disclosure.

Kenneth S. Parks

Resignation for Good Reason, Termination Without Cause or Termination due to Death or Disability Absent a Change in Control . If Mr. Parks’ employment was terminated on December 31, 2018 by Mylan without cause, by him for good reason or due to his death or disability absent a change in control, he would have been entitled to

(1) a lump sum payment equal to his annual base salary, (2) 12 months of health benefits, (3) a pro rata bonus based on actual performance and (4) in the case of a termination due to Mr. Parks’ death or disability only, full vesting of his LTI awards (with any performance conditions deemed achieved at “target” levels).

The estimated values of such payments and benefits, assuming a December 31, 2018 termination, would have been (i) $1,752,061, in respect of cash severance and other benefits and (ii) in the case of a termination due to Mr. Parks’ death or disability only, $2,690,762, in respect of the vesting of LTI awards.

Termination in Connection with a Change in Control . If Mr. Parks incurred a CIC Termination on December 31, 2018, he would become entitled to the payments and benefits provided for above in the event of his disability, except that his severance payment under (1) would be equal to three times the sum of his base salary and highest bonus paid and he would receive three years of continued health and other benefits. Consistent with Mylan’s policy of not providing gross-ups in newly entered into agreements, Mr. Parks’ Transition and Succession Agreement contains a “best net” provision in the event he would receive any “excess parachute payments”, as described above.

The estimated values of such payments and benefits, assuming a December 31, 2018 termination, would have been (i) $6,745,473, in respect of cash severance and other benefits and (ii) $2,690,762, in respect of the vesting of LTI awards.

Rajiv Malik

Resignation for Good Reason, Termination Without Cause or Termination due to Death or Disability Absent a Change in Control . If Mr. Malik’s employment was terminated on December 31, 2018 by Mylan without cause, by him for good reason or due to his death or disability absent a change in control, he would have been entitled to (1) a lump sum payment equal to one-and-one-half times his annual base salary, (2) 18 months of health benefits, (3) a pro rata bonus based on actual performance, (4) full vesting of his LTI awards (with any performance conditions deemed achieved at “target” levels) and (5) a lump sum payment in respect of his already vested RBA benefit.

The estimated values of such payments and benefits, assuming a December 31, 2018 termination, would have been (i) $3,191,355, in respect of cash severance and other benefits, (ii) $7,789,903, in respect of the vesting of LTI awards and (iii) $4,005,221, in respect of Mr. Malik’s already vested RBA benefit.

Termination in Connection with a Change in Control . If Mr. Malik incurred a CIC Termination on December 31, 2018, he would have been entitled to the payments and benefits provided for above, except that his severance payment under (1) would be equal to three times the sum of his base salary and highest bonus paid and he would receive three years of continued health and other benefits. Mr. Malik’s Transition and Succession Agreement also provides for a gross-up payment for any excise tax on “excess parachute payments.”

The estimated values of such payments and benefits, assuming a December 31, 2018 termination, would have been (i) $12,688,123, in respect of cash severance and other benefits, (ii) $7,789,903, in respect of the vesting of LTI awards and (iii) $4,055,221, in respect of Mr. Malik’s already vested RBA benefit. Based on these values, Mr. Malik would not have been subject to the 280G excise tax; therefore, no value is attributable to his contractual gross-up obligation for purposes of this disclosure.

Daniel M. Gallagher

Resignation for Good Reason, Termination Without Cause or Termination due to Death or Disability Absent a Change in Control . If Mr. Gallagher’s employment was terminated on December 31, 2018 by Mylan without cause, by him for good reason or due to his death or disability absent a change in control, he would have been entitled to (1) a lump sum payment equal to his annual base salary, (2) 12 months of health benefits, (3) a pro rata bonus based on actual performance, (4) full vesting of his LTI awards granted in 2017 and (5) in the case of a termination due to Mr. Gallagher’s death or disability only, full vesting of his other LTI awards (with any LTI performance conditions deemed achieved at “target” levels).

The estimated values of such payments and benefits, assuming a December 31, 2018 termination, would have been (i) $2,048,595, in respect of cash severance and other benefits, (ii) $2,042,807, in respect of the vesting of LTI awards granted in 2017 and (iii) in the case of a termination due to Mr. Gallagher’s death or disability only, $1,712,089, in respect of the vesting of his other LTI awards.

Termination in Connection with a Change in Control . If Mr. Gallagher incurred a CIC Termination on December 31, 2018, he would become entitled to the payments and benefits provided for above in the event of his disability, except that his severance payment under (1) would by equal to three times the sum of his base salary and highest bonus paid and he would receive three years of continued health and other benefits. Consistent with Mylan’s policy of not providing gross-ups in newly entered into agreements, Mr. Gallagher’s Transition and Succession Agreement contains a “best net” provision in the event he would receive any “excess parachute payments”, as described above.

The estimated values of such payments and benefits, assuming a December 31, 2018 termination, would have been (i) $7,632,384, in respect of cash severance and other benefits and (ii) $3,754,896, in respect of the vesting of LTI awards

Anthony Mauro

Termination Without Cause or Termination due to Death or Disability Absent a Change in Control . If Mr. Mauro’s employment was terminated on December 31, 2018 by Mylan without cause or due to his death or disability absent a change in control, he would have been entitled to (1) a lump sum payment equal to his annual base salary, (2) 12 months of health benefits, (3) a pro rata bonus based on actual performance and (4) in the case of a termination due to Mr. Mauro’s death or disability only, full vesting of his LTI awards (with any performance conditions deemed achieved at “target” levels).

The estimated values of such payments and benefits, assuming a December 31, 2018 termination, would have been (i) $1,789,091, in respect of cash severance and other benefits and (ii) in the case of a termination due to Mr. Mauro’s death or disability only, $3,516,488, in respect of the vesting of LTI awards.

Termination in Connection with a Change in Control . If Mr. Mauro incurred a CIC Termination on December 31, 2018, he would become entitled to the payments and benefits provided for above in the event of his disability, except that his severance payment under (1) would be equal to three times the amount of base salary and cash bonus paid to Mr. Mauro by Mylan as reflected on Mr. Mauro’s W-2 in (a) the tax year immediately preceding the year in which the date of termination occurs or (b) the year in which the change in control occurs, whichever is greater, and he would receive three years of continued health and other benefits. Mr. Mauro’s Transition and Succession Agreement also provides for a gross-up payment for any excise tax on “excess parachute payments.”

The estimated values of such payments and benefits, assuming a December 31, 2018 termination, would have been (i) $6,396,746, in respect of cash severance and other benefits and (ii) $3,516,488, in respect of the vesting of LTI awards. Based on these values, Mr. Mauro would not have been subject to the 280G excise tax; therefore, no value is attributable to his contractual gross-up obligation for purposes of this disclosure.

CEO Pay Ratio

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Company is providing the following information about the relationship between the annual total compensation of the Company’s employees and the annual total compensation of the Company’s CEO. The pay ratio figures below are a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act.

Further to this requirement, under Instruction 2 to Item 402(u), the median-paid employee may be identified once every three years if there is no impact to the pay ratio disclosure. As there were no changes in our employee population or to the median-paid employee’s compensation arrangements in 2018 that would affect the pay ratio disclosure, the employee representing the median-paid employee is the same employee selected for the 2018 Proxy Statement. We collected the 2018 annual total compensation for the median employee using the same methodology we use for our NEOs as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table on page 37 and then added the cost of medical and dental benefits in the calculation of annual total compensation for the median employee and CEO.

Total annual compensation for the median employee was $42,407 and total annual compensation for the CEO was $13,346,299, resulting in a ratio of median employee total annual compensation to CEO total annual compensation of 315 to 1. Total annual compensation for the median employee and the CEO is calculated according to the disclosure requirements of Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act and includes base salary, annual incentive, equity awards, change in pension values and other compensation such as perquisites and medical benefits.

In 2018, the Compensation Committee retained Meridian to provide the Committee with a market review of outside director compensation.

Non-Employee Directors, other than Mr. Coury, receive $100,000 per year in cash compensation for their service on Mylan’s Board. Non-Employee Directors also are reimbursed for actual expenses relating to meeting attendance.

In addition, in 2018, the Non-Employee Directors received the following additional fees for their service on Board committees, payable in each case, in four equal quarterly installments (pro-rated for any partial quarter):

In connection with the transition from his role as Executive Chairman to Chairman of the Board as a Non-Employee Director effective June 24, 2016, the Board asked

Table of Contents

Mr. Coury to serve as Chairman for at least five years, though he remains subject to annual appointment, and to intently focus, with the Mylan Board and in collaboration with the executive team, on the strategy for Mylan for the next decade and beyond. The Board believes that the continued highly active and visionary leadership, insight and strategic direction of Mr. Coury as Chairman is critical to the Company and in the best interests of our shareholders and other stakeholders, as both the Board and management evolve the Company’s long-term strategy amid significant change and disruption in our industry.

Non-Employee Directors are eligible to receive stock options or other grants under the Amended 2003 Plan. In March 2018, each Non-Employee Director, other than Messrs. Coury and Korman and Ms. van der Meer Mohr, was granted an option to purchase 2,984 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $40.97 per share, the closing price per share of Mylan’s ordinary shares on the date of grant, which option, other than as described below, vested on March 2, 2019, and 4,028 RSUs, which also, other than as described below, vested on March 2, 2019. In June 2018, upon election to the Board, Mr. Korman and Ms. van der Meer Mohr were each granted an option to purchase 3,446 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $36.14 per share, the closing price per share of Mylan’s ordinary shares on the date of grant, which option vested on March 2, 2019, and 4,566 RSUs, which also vested on March 2, 2019. Mr. Coury did not receive any equity awards in 2018. As described in the 2017 Proxy Statement, Mr. Coury received an award of 1,000,000 RSUs on June 24, 2016, 75% of which will vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant, which is June 24, 2019, and 25% of which will vest on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant, or earlier upon certain cessations of Mr. Coury’s services as Chairman or failure to be appointed to Mylan’s Board. Ms. Cameron was not nominated for re-election and retired from the Board effective June 29, 2018. In recognition of Ms. Cameron’s long and dedicated service to Mylan, the other independent members of the Board voted to accelerate the vesting of her March 2018 option and RSU awards to her date of retirement. Non-Employee Directors also are eligible to receive tax-equalization payments for incremental tax liabilities, if any, incurred as a result of attendance at board meetings in the U.K.

Ordinary Share Ownership Requirements.

Mylan’s Board has adopted ordinary share ownership requirements for Non-Employee Directors, requiring each to hold ordinary shares valued at three times their annual retainer as long as they remain on the Board. Each Non-Employee Director has five years from his or her initial election to the Board to achieve this requirement. The policy was adopted to further demonstrate alignment of directors’ interests with shareholders’ for the duration of their service. As of December 31, 2018, all required Non-Employee Directors satisfied this ownership requirement. Mr. Vollebregt became a director on June 22, 2017, and is required to satisfy the ownership requirements by June 2022. Ms. van der Meer Mohr became a director on June 29, 2018, and is required to satisfy the ownership requirements by June 2023. If Mr. Mark is elected to Mylan’s Board at the 2019 AGM, he will be required to satisfy the ownership requirements by June 2024.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Based on a review of the transactions between Mylan and its directors and executive officers, their immediate family members, and their affiliated entities, Mylan has determined that since the beginning of 2018, it was a party to the following transactions in which the amount involved exceeded $120,000 and in which any of

Table of Contents

Mylan’s directors, executive officers, or greater than five percent shareholders, or any of their immediate family members or affiliates, have or had a direct or indirect material interest:

As previously disclosed, Mylan has engaged Coury Financial Group, LP, now The Coury Firm LLC (together with its predecessors, “CFG”), the principals of which are brothers and a son of Robert J. Coury, Chairman, to provide certain services to Mylan. CFG is beneficially owned by brothers and trusts on behalf of brothers and children of Mr. Coury. CFG is in the business of providing strategic corporate benefits advice and services, among others. Since approximately 1995, CFG and, in the past, other affiliated entities of CFG, have served as the broker in connection with several of the Company’s employee benefit programs. Effective January 1, 2018, Mylan extended its previous contract with CFG for an additional three year period on substantially the same terms as its prior arrangement, which included a fixed base fee of $37,500 per month to be paid by Mylan to CFG, corresponding to the term of agreements negotiated with certain benefit plan carriers and capping payments over that time period. However, where required by law, CFG will continue to receive commissions directly from certain other benefit plan carriers, and in 2018 and early 2019, received payments totaling approximately $230,000 in commissions for these services directly from the insurance carriers (including payments for 2017 business paid in 2018).

Based on the contractual terms of Mr. Coury’s 2011 Executive Employment Agreement, 2014 Executive Employment Agreement and 2016 Letter Agreement, upon Mr. Coury’s conclusion of service as an executive with the Company in 2016, the Company was obligated to provide him with certain benefits that he had earned over his fifteen-year tenure with the Company. These included, at Mr. Coury’s election on an annual basis for three years, either personal use of the Company’s aircraft for up to 70 hours per year or a cash payment of up to approximately $1.5 million each year for unused time based on the contract formula. We note that these terms were disclosed in prior proxy statements, and that the aggregate value was included in the Summary Compensation Table of the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2017 annual general meeting of shareholders (the “2017 Proxy Statement”). With respect to 2018, Mr. Coury used the aircraft for 26.5 personal hours and received a cash payment of $947,524 in respect of the unused time based on the contract formula. We believe that $1.5 million represents a fair estimate of the approximate dollar value of the transaction and of Mr. Coury’s interest in it. Although this transaction was previously disclosed, we are disclosing it again here, based on SEC rules, as Mr. Coury remains a related person due to his continued service as a director of the Company (although his receipt of this benefit is not contingent on that service) and the benefit was provided by Mylan to Mr. Coury during 2018. We anticipate continuing to honor this contractual commitment to Mr. Coury in 2019.

Mr. Dimick, like each member of the Board, is party to an indemnification agreement with the Company. The Company has been advised by counsel to Mr. Dimick that counsel billed fees of approximately $275,000 in 2018 for services provided to Mr. Dimick related to providing information in connection with the previously disclosed SEC related party investigation, which did not relate to Mr. Dimick. The SEC’s Division of Enforcement has informed the Company that it has completed its related party investigation with no recommended further action. Counsel does not anticipate billing any additional fees for services to be provided to Mr. Dimick.

Rajiv Malik is an executive officer of the Company and is party to an employment agreement, as amended, with Mylan Inc., which contains standard indemnification provisions. The Company has made payments to counsel to Mr. Malik of approximately $1.5 million in 2018 and approximately $200,000 in 2019 for services provided to Mr. Malik in connection with certain previously disclosed drug pricing matters. The Company anticipates making additional payments of approximately $1.6 million in 2019 for ongoing services to be provided to Mr. Malik in connection with such matters. Mylan anticipates additional payment, repayment or advancement of these and other expenses during the pendency of the aforementioned matters and anticipates that it will make payments for any such claims.

Mylan has a written related party transactions policy that establishes guidelines for reviewing and approving, as appropriate, transactions involving any director, nominee for director, Section 16 Officer, person known by the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of the Company’s voting securities and person known by the Company to be an immediate family member of any such person, in which (1) the amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $100,000; (2) Mylan or an affiliate of Mylan is or will be a participant; and (3) any related party has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. The Board also annually reviews certain relationships and related party transactions as part of its assessment of each director’s independence.

Director Independence

Mylan’s Board has determined that Judge Cindrich, Ms. Dillon, Mr. Dimick, Ms. Higgins, Mr. Korman, Mr. Parrish, Ms. van der Meer Mohr, Dr. Vanderveen and Mr. Vollebregt are independent directors under the applicable NASDAQ listing standards. In making these determinations, the Board considered, with respect to Mr. Korman’s independence, Mr. Korman’s past employment by Mylan Inc. and his prior consulting services for Mylan Inc. until July 1, 2015 pursuant to his previously disclosed Retirement and Consulting Agreement and Release dated August 1, 2014. The Board determined that any such arrangements, transactions or relationships would not interfere with the exercise of independent judgment by Mr. Korman in carrying out his responsibilities as a director of Mylan.

Mr. Coury, Ms. Bresch and Mr. Malik are not independent directors under applicable NASDAQ listing standards.

All non-executive directors of Mylan’s Board other than Mr. Coury are considered to be independent within the meaning of best practice provision 2.1.8 of the DCGC.

As disclosed in the 2018 Proxy Statement, Mylan’s Board had previously determined that Ms. Wendy Cameron, who served on the Board until June 29, 2018, was an independent director under the applicable NASDAQ listing standards.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy

All services performed by Deloitte during 2018 and 2017 were pre-approved by the Committee in accordance with its policy.
