I. INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING

Solicitation of Proxies

The Board of Directors (also referred to herein as the “Board”) of FMC Corporation (the “Company” or “FMC”) is soliciting proxies for use at the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and any postponements or adjournments of that meeting (as so postponed or adjourned, the “2022 Annual Meeting” or the “Annual Meeting”). As permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, we are making this proxy statement available to our stockholders electronically via the internet at www.fmc.com. On or about March 11, 2022, we first mailed to our stockholders a Notice containing instructions on how to access this proxy statement, the accompanying form of proxy and the Company’s Annual Report for 2021.

Instead, the Notice instructs you on how to access and review all of the important information contained in the proxy statement. The Notice also instructs you on how you may submit your proxy over the Internet. If you received a Notice by mail and would like to receive a printed copy of our proxy materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials contained on the Notice.

Instructions for the Virtual Annual Meeting

This year our Annual Meeting will be completely virtual. There will be no physical meeting location. The meeting will only be conducted via live webcast. We have adopted a virtual format for the Annual Meeting to make participation accessible for stockholders from any geographic location with internet connectivity, as well as to avoid potential Covid-19 risks associated with in-person gatherings.

How to Vote

You may vote in one of four ways:

•	You can vote by signing and returning the enclosed proxy card. If you do, the individuals named on the card will vote your shares in the way you indicate;
•	You can vote by internet;
•	You can vote by telephone; or
•	You can cast your vote online at the Annual Meeting.

The meeting can be accessed by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FMC2022, where you will be able to listen to the meeting live, submit questions and vote online. You will need the 16-digit control number provided on your proxy card, voting instruction form or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials.

Use of Proxies

Unless you tell us on the proxy card to vote differently, we plan to vote signed and returned proxies FOR the Board nominees for director and FOR Proposals 2 and 3, and in the discretion of the proxy holders as to any other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

Quorum Requirement

We need a quorum of stockholders to hold a valid Annual Meeting. A quorum will be present if the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Common Stock entitled to vote at the meeting either attend the Annual Meeting virtually or are represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions, broker non-votes (described below) and votes withheld are counted as present for the purpose of establishing a quorum.

Vote Required for Action

Directors are elected by a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election. Because the number of nominees properly nominated for the Annual Meeting is the same as the number of directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting, the election of directors is an uncontested election. As a result, any nominee who receives a majority of the votes cast with respect to his or her election at the Annual Meeting will be elected to the Board (or re-elected, in the case of any nominee who is an incumbent director). Incumbent nominees have tendered a contingent resignation which would become effective if (i) the nominee does not receive a majority of the votes cast with respect to his or her election at the Annual Meeting and (ii) the Board of Directors accepts such resignation. Adoption of Proposals 2 and 3 require the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting.

Abstentions or Lack of Instructions to Banks, Brokers, or Employee Benefit Plan Trustees

Abstentions will not be counted as votes cast for the election of directors, and thus will have no effect on the election of directors. With respect to Proposals 2 and 3, abstentions will have the effect of a vote against such proposals.

A broker non-vote occurs when a bank, broker or other nominee holding shares on behalf of a stockholder does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner with respect to a non-routine matter to be voted on at the Annual Meeting by a specified date before the Annual Meeting. Banks, brokers and other nominees may vote undirected shares on matters deemed routine in accordance with New York Stock Exchange rules, but they may not vote undirected shares on matters deemed non-routine in accordance with such rules. For this purpose, the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm is considered a routine matter, but the election of directors and the advisory vote regarding executive compensation are considered non-routine matters.

In the event of a broker non-vote in the election of directors or with respect to the advisory vote regarding executive compensation at the Annual Meeting, the broker non-vote will not have any effect on the outcome inasmuch as broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast or as shares present and entitled to be voted with respect to any matter on which the broker has expressly not voted.

If you are entitled to vote shares held under an employee benefit plan and you either do not direct the trustee by April 25, 2022 how to vote your shares, or if you vote on some but not all matters that come before the Annual Meeting, the trustee will, in the case of shares held in the FMC Corporation Savings and Investment Plan, vote your undirected shares in proportion to the votes received from other participants, and in the case of the Company’s other employee plans, vote your shares in the trustee’s discretion, except to the extent that the plan or applicable law provides otherwise.

Revoking a Proxy

You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised. You can revoke a proxy by:

•	Sending a written notice to the Corporate Secretary of FMC;
•	Delivering a properly executed, later-dated proxy;
•	Attending the Annual Meeting and voting virtually, provided that you comply with the conditions set forth in the section of this proxy statement above entitled “How to Vote”; or
•	If your shares are held through an employee benefit plan, your revocation must be received by the trustee by April 25, 2022.

II. THE PROPOSALS TO BE VOTED ON

Proposal 1 Election of Directors

Nominees for Director

The Board of Directors currently consists of 11 directors, each of whom is elected to serve for a term of one year, expiring at the subsequent annual meeting of stockholders. The nominees for director this year are Pierre Brondeau, Eduardo E. Cordeiro, Carol Anthony (John) Davidson, Mark Douglas, C. Scott Greer, K’Lynne Johnson, Dirk A. Kempthorne, Paul J. Norris, Margareth Øvrum, Robert C. Pallash, and Vincent R. Volpe, Jr., each of whom is an incumbent director and Kathy L. Fortmann, who is a nominee proposed by the Board following an extensive recruitment process. If Ms. Fortmann is elected at the Annual Meeting, the Board of Directors will be expanded to 12 members. If elected, these directors’ next term will expire at the 2023 Annual Meeting. Information about the nominees is contained in the section of this proxy statement entitled “Board of Directors”.

The Board of Directors expects that all of the nominees will be able and willing to serve as directors. If any nominee becomes unavailable, the proxies may be voted for another person nominated by the Board of Directors to fill the vacancy, or the size of the Board of Directors may be reduced.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the election of Pierre Brondeau, Eduardo E. Cordeiro, Carol Anthony (John) Davidson, Mark Douglas, Kathy L. Fortmann, C. Scott Greer, K’Lynne Johnson, Dirk A. Kempthorne, Paul J. Norris, Margareth Øvrum, Robert C. Pallash, and Vincent R. Volpe, Jr. to the Board of Directors as described above.

Proposal 2 Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the independent external audit firm retained to audit the Company’s financial statements. The Audit Committee has approved KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) continuing to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2022.

The Audit Committee periodically reviews the performance of the independent external audit firm. In conjunction with the mandated rotation of KPMG’s lead engagement partner, the Audit Committee and its chairperson also evaluate and approve the selection of KPMG’s new lead engagement partner.

The Audit Committee is responsible for the audit fee negotiations associated with the Company’s retention of KPMG. For the years 2021 and 2020, KPMG’s fees, all of which were approved by the Audit Committee, were as follows:

*($000)*	2021	2020
Audit Fees⁽¹⁾	11,272	15,107
Audit Related Fees⁽²⁾	39	763
Tax Fees⁽³⁾	851	405
All Other Fees⁽⁴⁾	897	910
TOTAL	13,059	17,185

(1)	Fees for professional services performed by KPMG for the integrated audit of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K filing and review of financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-Q filings. The amount also includes other services that are normally provided by KPMG in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.
(2)	Fees for services performed by KPMG that are principally related to employee benefit and compensation plan audits, as well as audit related services in connection with attestations by KPMG that are required by statute, regulation, or contractual requirements.
(3)	Fees for professional services performed by KPMG with respect to tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. This includes preparation of original and amended tax returns for the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, refund claims, payment planning, and tax audit assistance.
(4)	Fees for other permissible work performed by KPMG that does not fall within the categories set forth above. For the years listed above, this work is primarily related to tax filings for individual employees involved in the Company’s expatriate program.

Pre-Approval of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Services

The Audit Committee has adopted a Pre-Approval Policy with respect to audit and non-audit services performed by its independent registered public accounting firm. The following is a summary of the Policy.

Prior to the commencement of services for a given year, the Audit Committee will grant pre-approvals of expected services and estimated fees, as presented by the independent registered public accounting firm. The independent registered public accounting firm will routinely update the Audit Committee during the year in which the services are performed as to the actual services provided and related fees pursuant to the Pre-Approval Policy.

Unexpected services or services for which the fees to be incurred would exceed pre-approved amounts, will require specific approval before the services may be rendered. Requests or applications to provide such services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Chairman of the Audit Committee and to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer or his designee by the independent registered public accounting firm.

The request or application must include a statement as to whether, in the view of both the independent registered public accounting firm and the Chief Financial Officer or his designee, such request or application is consistent with the rules of the SEC regarding auditor independence. Authority to grant approval for such services has been delegated to the Chairman of the Audit Committee, provided that any such approval would then be reviewed by the full Audit Committee at the next regularly scheduled meeting.

The Audit Committee has determined that the independence of KPMG has not been adversely impacted as a result of the non-audit services performed by such accounting firm.

We expect a representative of KPMG to attend the Annual Meeting. The representative will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires and will also be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2022.

Proposal 3 Advisory (Non-Binding) Vote on Executive Compensation

In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the related rules of the SEC, our Board of Directors is submitting a proposal providing our stockholders the opportunity to cast a non-binding advisory vote on the executive compensation paid to the Company’s executive officers named in this proxy statement (“named executive officers” or “NEOs”). In 2017, our stockholders voted that we continue our past practice of conducting a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation (“Say on Pay”) on an annual basis. Accordingly, the Company currently conducts a Say on Pay vote annually.

This advisory vote on executive compensation is non-binding on the Board, will not overrule any decision by the Board and does not compel the Board to take any action. However, the Board and the Compensation and Organization Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) may consider the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation decisions. Specifically, to the extent there is any significant vote against the named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, the Board will consider our stockholders’ concerns and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.

The Board and the Compensation Committee believe that the Company’s executive compensation programs and policies and the compensation decisions described in this proxy statement (i) support the Company’s business objectives, (ii) link the interests of the executive officers and stockholders, (iii) align NEO pay with individual and the Company’s performance, without encouraging excessive risk-taking that could have a material adverse effect on the Company, (iv) provide NEOs with a competitive level of compensation and (v) promote retention of the NEOs and other senior leaders. In 2021, 93.3% of the shares present and entitled to vote at the meeting, approved the executive compensation discussed and disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Summary Compensation Table and other related tabular and narrative disclosures contained in the 2021 proxy statement.

For the reasons discussed above (and further amplified in the compensation disclosures made in this proxy statement), the Board recommends that stockholders vote in favor of the following resolution:

RESOLVED that the stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (which disclosure includes the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Summary Compensation Table and other related tabular and narrative disclosures set forth in this proxy statement).

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the above resolution.

III. BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Director Qualifications and Board Diversity

Directors are selected based on integrity, successful business experience, stature in their own fields of endeavor and the diversity of perspectives they bring to the Board. Desired attributes of all directors include (i) ability to reach thoughtful, independent and logical judgments on difficult and complex issues; (ii) demonstrated leadership; (iii) knowledge, experience and skills in at least one specialty area relevant to the Company’s lines of business; (iv) accountability; (v) objectivity; and (vi) willingness and ability to cooperate and engage with other members of the Board openly and constructively. Directors must also be able to view the issues the Company faces from the stockholders’ perspective and be committed to representing the long-term interests of our stockholders. Our Statement of Governance Principles, Policies and Procedures requires that a substantial majority of directors (at least two thirds) must be independent. We also require that our directors be able to commit the time necessary to ensure the diligent performance of their duties.

In addition, the Board as a whole should reflect a range of experience, skills, diversity and expertise. Areas of interest may include: (i) senior management (C-suite) experience, (ii) global business experience, (iii) accounting or financial expertise, (iv) innovation experience, (v) agriculture and related industry experience, (vi) sustainability/ESG experience, (vii) government, public affairs, or regulatory experience, (viii) human capital or talent management experience, (ix) corporate strategy or M&A experience, and (x) public company governance experience. To understand the context in which these skills, diversity and expertise are required, please see the description of the Company in the “Executive Summary” of the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section.

We believe that maintaining a diverse Board membership with varying backgrounds, skills, expertise and other differentiating personal characteristics enhances the quality and diversity of thought in the Board’s deliberations and enables the Board to better represent all of the Company’s constituents. In seeking candidates who possess diversity of experience, background and perspective, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assesses a broad set of candidates whose diversity is based on race/ethnicity, gender, industry experience, type of position held, and other board experience. In addition, we have set a goal of at least one-third female directors by the end of 2026 and thereafter, subject to periods of director transitions. Whenever feasible, women and minorities will be included in the initial pool of candidates when selecting new director nominees. In addition to reviewing a candidate’s background and accomplishments, candidates are evaluated in the context of the current composition of the Board and the evolving needs of the Company.

The foregoing considerations were all applied by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee during a thorough process, including the assistance of a third-party search firm, to recruit a suitable candidate to fill an additional Board seat. As a result of that process, the Board has decided to nominate Kathy L. Fortmann, CEO of Acomo Amsterdam Commodities N.V., as a candidate for election at the upcoming annual meeting.

The table below highlights the qualifications and experience of each director nominee to be a member of our Board of Directors, identifying the unique capabilities and perspectives that he or she brings to effectively represent the interests of our stockholders and also to effectively oversee and advise management. While a dot notation indicates competency or experience in the relevant area, this summary is not intended to be an exhaustive list of each director nominee’s capabilities, skills or insights which are valued by the Board. Mr. Cordeiro and Mr. Davidson, or 18% of the Board as currently constituted, identify as racially or ethnically diverse.

IV. INFORMATION ABOUT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Meetings

During 2021, the Board of Directors held two in-person meetings and three virtual meetings. All incumbent directors attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board and all Committees on which they served.

Committees and Independence of Directors

The Board of Directors has five standing Committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation and Organization Committee, a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, an Executive Committee, and a Sustainability Committee.

The Audit Committee, Compensation and Organization Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Sustainability Committee are all composed of non-employee directors, each of whom has been determined by the Board to be independent on the basis set forth below. With the exception of the Chairman of the Board (Mr. Brondeau) and the President and Chief Executive Officer (Mr. Douglas), no director or nominee is currently, or was within the past three years, employed by the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates. Mr. Brondeau was employed by the Company until April 27, 2021.

With the exception of Mr. Brondeau, the Board has affirmatively determined that none of the non-employee directors has any material business, family or other relationship with the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates other than as a director, and that they all qualify as independent. Specifically, the independent directors are Messrs. Cordeiro, Davidson, Greer, Kempthorne, Norris, Pallash, and Volpe, Ms. Johnson and Ms. Øvrum, and, if elected, Ms. Fortmann. In order to be considered independent by the Board, a director or nominee must meet the requirements set forth in the SEC and New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules regarding independence. Mr. Brondeau ceased to be an employee of the Company on April 27, 2021 and he serves as a non-employee director; however, he is not considered to be independent under NYSE rules as he was an employee of the Company within the last three years.

Certain of our non-employee directors, namely Ms. Øvrum and Mr. Kempthorne, serve as outside directors for companies with which FMC conducts an immaterial amount of business in the ordinary course, such as the purchase or sale of goods and services. Additionally, Mr. Brondeau and Mr. Pallash serve as outside directors for Livent Corporation (“Livent”). FMC was party to certain transitional agreements with Livent in connection with Livent’s IPO in October 2018 and FMC’s spin-off of Livent effective March 1, 2019. The Board has determined that none of these FMC non-employee directors has a material interest in these transactions given that their sole relationship with the companies is as an outside director. On the basis of its evaluation, the Board has concluded that Ms. Øvrum and Messrs. Brondeau, Kempthorne and Pallash meet the independence standards applied by the Board, though, as noted above, Mr. Brondeau is not considered independent under NYSE rules due to his prior recent employment with the Company.

Audit Committee

The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter that outlines the duties of the Audit Committee, including conducting an annual self-assessment. A current copy of the Charter is posted on the Company’s website, as described in the section below entitled “Corporate Governance Documents”.

Director Who Presides Over Executive Sessions

In accordance with the FMC Corporation Statement of Governance Principles, Policies and Procedures, the non-employee members of the Board of Directors meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions without management. The Lead Director, Mr. Volpe, presides over these sessions.

See the section below entitled “Board Leadership Structure” for additional information regarding the role of the Lead Director. In addition, see the section below entitled “Communicating with the Board” for procedures for communicating with the Lead Director.

Director Compensation

Overview

The Company believes that having quality non-employee directors is critical to our success. Non-employee directors represent the interests of our stockholders, and they contribute their experience and wisdom to guide our Company, our strategy and our management. The Board believes that compensation for directors should reflect the work required in both their ongoing oversight and governance role, and their continuous focus on driving long-term performance and stockholder value.

Review Process

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, consisting solely of independent directors, has the primary responsibility for reviewing director compensation and considering any changes in how we compensate our directors. The full Board reviews the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s recommendations and determines the amount of director compensation. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is empowered to engage outside advisors, experts, and others to assist it. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee periodically reviews assessments prepared by outside consultants that the Committee has engaged in order to gain an understanding of current market levels of compensation being paid for board service and to gauge current practices with respect to the forms of director compensation currently in use.

Our Board compensation for 2021 was established as a result of a process commenced in late 2020, under which the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee engaged the Rewards Solutions practice at Aon plc (“Aon”) to conduct a director compensation assessment based on peer companies. The assessment analyzed peer company director compensation levels and practices, evaluated the competitiveness of the Company’s director compensation program from multiple perspectives relative to the peer group, and described recent market trends in director compensation. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Compensation Determination Process – Peer Group”.

The Nominating and Compensation Committee intends to benchmark and, if needed, recommend adjusting non-employee director compensation on a biennial basis, and thus, expects to commence a similar process in late 2022.

Compensation Policy For Non-Employee Directors

The Company maintains the FMC Corporation Compensation Policy for Non-Employee Directors, as last amended and restated in April 2021 (the “Director Compensation Policy”). The Director Compensation Policy is not applicable to directors who are also employees of the Company. Accordingly, for so long as Mr. Douglas remains an employee of the Company, Mr. Douglas will receive no additional compensation for his service as a director. For a description of the compensation paid to Mr. Douglas for his service during 2021, see below under the heading “Executive Compensation”.

As discussed below under the section entitled “Board Leadership Structure,” Mr. Brondeau transitioned from Executive Chairman to Non-Executive Chairman of the Board as of April 27, 2021, the date of the 2021 Annual Meeting. In connection with this transition, he became a non-employee director and is compensated in accordance with the Director Compensation Policy.

FMC CORPORATION - Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement 19

Retainer and Fees

Under the Director Compensation Policy, each non-employee director is paid an annual retainer of $100,000. The retainer is paid in quarterly installments in cash, unless the director elects to receive all or part of it in restricted stock units (the “retainer grant”). Audit Committee members receive an additional $5,000 in committee fees for each year. The chairs of the Compensation Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Sustainability Committee are paid an additional $15,000 per year, while the chair of the Audit Committee is paid an additional $20,000 per year. The Lead Director is paid an additional $30,000 per year. The Non-Executive Chairman is paid an additional $150,000 per year.

Restricted Stock Units

Retainer Grant

Retainer grants are awarded to non-employee directors who have elected to receive all or a portion of their retainer in restricted stock units. These grants vest ratably over a one-year period, with accelerated vesting of any unvested restricted stock units upon a change in control of the Company.

Annual Grant

Currently, each non-employee director also receives an annual grant of restricted stock units having a value of $140,000 on the date of grant (the “annual grant”). These restricted stock units vest at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in the year following the date of grant or, if sooner, upon a change in control of the Company.

Dividend Equivalent Rights

If a cash dividend is paid to FMC stockholders while a director holds restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights are credited to the director in the form of additional restricted stock units equal in value to the cash dividend. These dividend equivalent rights will be subject to the same vesting schedule as the underlying restricted stock units to which they relate.

Payment of Vested Restricted Stock Units

A director is permitted to specify, prior to the year in which an annual grant or retainer grant is made, the date upon which he or she wishes to receive payment in Common Stock of the fully vested restricted stock units. In the absence of an election, payment will be made upon the earlier of a director’s cessation of service on the Board or a change in control of FMC. The directors’ ability to sell any distributed shares remains subject to the restrictions of the Company’s Director Stock Ownership Policy, described below.

Mid-Year Cessation of Service

Under the Director Compensation Policy, if a director ceases to serve on the Board prior to the next annual meeting date, all committee, chairman, lead director, and annual retainer (whether in cash or stock) fees will be paid out pro rata based on time served. A director’s annual grant of restricted stock units, on the other hand, will be forfeited in full upon a cessation of service mid-year. However, if the director’s cessation of service is due to the director’s death or disability, the director’s annual retainer (whether in cash or stock) will be paid in full and the director’s annual grant will vest in full.

Other Compensation

The Company supports the charitable donations of directors under its matching gifts plan that provides a dollar-for-dollar match of gifts up to $15,000 per year to certain educational institutions, arts and cultural organizations, and conservation and civic organizations.

No other remuneration is paid to non-employee directors for services as a director of the Company. Non-employee directors do not participate in the Company’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan or employee benefit plans, including, but not limited to, the qualified and nonqualified pension plans.

Director Stock Ownership Policy

We believe that we and our stockholders are best served when non-employee directors oversee the business with a long-term perspective. As such, we adopted stock ownership guidelines, under the belief that stock ownership is an important tool to strengthen the alignment of interests among our non-employee directors and our stockholders, to demonstrate our commitment to sound corporate governance. The Company has established guidelines setting expectations for the ownership of Common Stock by directors. The Director Stock Ownership Policy requires that directors hold a minimum of five times the value of the base annual retainer (the “ownership requirement”), currently $500,000 (five times $100,000). For this purpose, undistributed shares underlying restricted stock units (both vested and non-vested) are considered “held” by a

Back to Contents

director. Shares underlying unexercised stock options, whether such stock options are vested or unvested, are not considered “held” by a director. A director has five years from the date of his or her election to the Board to achieve compliance with the ownership requirement. However, even during the initial five-year phase-in period, directors are not permitted to sell shares of Common Stock, other than to satisfy tax liabilities triggered by Company equity grants, unless they will be in compliance with the ownership requirement (calculated based on the then-current annual cash retainer) immediately following any sale of Common Stock. Compliance with the ownership requirement is measured at the time of any proposed sale or disposition of shares of Common Stock by a director, and after the initial five-year phase-in period, on December 31 of each year. As of December 31, 2021, all the directors who were required to be in compliance with the Director Stock Ownership Policy were in compliance.

Corporate Governance

Communicating with the Board

Stockholders and any interested parties may communicate with the Board of Directors, the Lead Director, or any individual member of the Board as follows: Communications must be in writing, sent care of the Corporate Secretary, FMC Corporation, FMC Tower at Cira Centre South, 2929 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104. All communications with the Board, the Lead Director or any individual director will be delivered as addressed.

Director Nomination Process

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and other members of the Board identify candidates for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. An executive search firm may also be utilized to identify qualified candidates for consideration. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates candidates based on the qualifications for director described in its Charter and summarized in the section above entitled “Director Qualifications and Board Diversity”. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee then presents qualified candidates to the full Board of Directors for consideration and selection. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider nominees for election to the Board that are recommended by stockholders, applying the same criteria for candidates as discussed above, provided that a description of each nominee’s qualifications for the directorship, experience and background, a written consent by a nominee to act as such, and other information specified in the By-Laws, accompany the stockholder’s recommendation.

In addition to proposing a candidate for possible nomination by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, any stockholder is entitled to directly nominate one or more candidates for election to the Board of Directors in accordance with the Company’s By-Laws. Notice of a stockholder’s intent to nominate one or more candidates for election as directors at the 2023 Annual Meeting must be delivered to the Company at the address set forth below, not later than January 28, 2023. All nominations, together with the additional information required by the Company’s By-Laws, must be sent to the Corporate Secretary, FMC Corporation, FMC Tower at Cira Centre South, 2929 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104. A copy of the Company’s By-Laws may be obtained by writing to the Corporate Secretary at the same address. The Board reserves the right not to include such nominees in the proxy statement.

Our by-laws include a proxy access provision which allows a stockholder, or a group of up to 20 stockholders, owning 3% or more of our outstanding Common Stock continuously for at least three years, to nominate and include in our proxy materials director nominees constituting up to two individuals or 20% of the Board (whichever is greater), provided that the stockholder(s) and the nominee(s) satisfy the requirements specified in Article IV, Section 2 and 2A of our by-laws. Notice of any such nomination for the 2022 Annual Meeting must be received by the Corporate Secretary of the Company at FMC Tower at Cira Centre South, 2929 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104, no earlier than October 12, 2022 nor later than November 11, 2022. However if the date of our 2023 Annual Meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after April 28, 2023 (the anniversary of the 2022 Annual Meeting) then notice by the stockholder must be received no earlier than the close of business on the 120^thday prior to the 2023 Annual Meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the 90^thday prior to the 2022 Annual Meeting and (ii) the tenth day following the day on which notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the 2023 Annual Meeting is given or made to stockholders.

Annual Performance Review

The Board and Committees perform annual self-evaluations of their performance. A lengthy questionnaire is sent to each director covering several topics, including Board structure and composition (and what additional skills, if any, may be needed), preparation of members and whether they stay abreast of issues, understanding of Company strategy, whether expectations and concerns are adequately communicated to the CEO, CEO succession planning procedures, performance of committees, and length and content of Board meetings. Each Committee member also completes a shorter questionnaire assessing the performance of his or her Committee.

After obtaining written responses to the questionnaires, the Corporate Secretary conducts a telephone interview with each director to elicit elaboration of views expressed and any other issues the director wishes to discuss. A written report summarizing the responses from the questionnaires and the telephone interviews is presented to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to determine whether any action is required, with a copy of the report also going to the full Board. Individual responses remain anonymous to ensure complete candor.

Any concern or issue with regard to an individual director’s performance would be reviewed with the Lead Director for discussion with the director and any further action. The Board is committed to ensuring that its members maintain the necessary skills, qualifications, experience and diversity, and the Board will continue to consider and implement changes to the composition of the Board in light of its annual performance evaluations and new skills, if any, required in connection with strategic initiatives.

Retirement/Resignation Policy for Directors

The Board believes that long-tenured directors can be beneficial because of their deep knowledge of the Company acquired through service, the continuity and stability they offer, and their grasp of the historical perspectives that can inform Company strategy. However, pursuant to our Statement of Governance Principles, Policies and Procedures, it is the policy of the Board that non-employee Directors will not stand for re-election no later than the annual meeting following their 75^th birthdays.

In addition, our Statement of Governance Principles, Policies and Procedures requires that a non-employee Director submit his or her resignation from the Board upon termination of his or her active service as an employee of his/her current employer or a significant change in responsibilities. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall review the situation and make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept the resignation. In the case of any such required retirement or resignation, the Board may request that a director who would otherwise be due to retire or resign continue his or her service if (a) the policy would result in multiple director retirements in any 12-month period or (b) the Board deems such service to be in the best interest of our stockholders.

In accordance with our majority voting standard for the election of directors in uncontested elections, incumbent director nominees are required to tender a contingent resignation which would become effective if (i) the nominee does not receive a majority of the votes cast with respect to his or her election at any meeting of stockholders at which directors are being elected and (ii) the Board accepts such resignation.

Directors who are also executive officers of the Company are expected to retire from the Board simultaneous with retirement as an executive of the Company unless requested by the Board to continue as a Board member for an agreed period.

Attendance at Annual Meetings

The Company’s policy is that all directors are expected to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. All incumbent directors attended the 2021 Annual Meeting.

Stockholder Proposals for the 2023 Annual Meeting

Stockholders may make proposals to be considered at the 2023 Annual Meeting. In order to make a proposal for consideration at the 2023 Annual Meeting, a stockholder must deliver notice to the Company at the address set forth below, containing certain information specified in the By-Laws, not less than 60 or more than 90 days before the date of the meeting. However, if the Company provides public disclosure of the date of the 2023 Annual Meeting less than 70 days in advance of the meeting date, then the deadline for the stockholder’s notice and other required information is 10 days after the date of the Company’s notice or public disclosure of the date of the Annual Meeting.

In addition to being able to present proposals for consideration at the 2023 Annual Meeting, stockholders may also be able to have their proposals included in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy for the 2022 Annual Meeting. In order to have a stockholder proposal included in the proxy statement and form of proxy, the proposal must be delivered to the Company at the address set forth below not later than November 11, 2022, and the stockholder must otherwise comply with applicable SEC requirements. If the stockholder complies with these requirements for inclusion of a proposal in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy, the stockholder need not comply with the notice requirements described in the preceding paragraph.

A copy of the Company’s By-Laws may be obtained by writing to the Corporate Secretary, and all notices referred to above must be sent to the Corporate Secretary, FMC Corporation, FMC Tower at Cira Centre South, 2929 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Corporate Governance principles provide that the Board should consider the issue of separation of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions under the circumstances prevailing from time to time. For many years, the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company had been combined. As announced in 2019, effective June 1, 2020, the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company were separated. On that date, Mr. Douglas assumed the office of Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Brondeau, who had served as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer from 2010 to 2020, became Executive Chairman. The role of the Executive Chairman was instituted to ensure a stable and orderly succession of the leadership of the Company, provide business continuity in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders, preside at Board meetings and engage as needed with key stakeholders.

Pierre Brondeau retired from his role as Executive Chairman, effective as of our Annual Meeting on April 27, 2021. As of such date, Mr. Brondeau ceased to serve as an executive officer of the Company. Mr. Brondeau’s current term as a director of the Company will expire at the 2022 Annual Meeting. The Board has requested, and Mr. Brondeau has agreed, that he be re-nominated as a director and, assuming his re-election at the 2022 Annual Meeting, that he continue to serve as non-executive Chairman. Assuming his re-election, Mr. Brondeau is expected to continue to serve as a member of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors.

Vincent R. Volpe, Jr. has served as the Lead Director of the Company since April 2018, and his current term runs through the date of the 2022 Annual Meeting. As set forth in the Corporate Governance Principles, the responsibilities of the Lead Director under this structure include: serving as the liaison between the Chairman and the independent directors, advising on information sent to the Board, calling meetings of the independent directors, and presiding at all meetings at which the Chairman is not present, including executive sessions. The independent directors of the Board have elected C. Scott Greer to serve as Lead Director for a two-year term commencing after the conclusion of the 2022 Annual Meeting, assuming his reelection to the Board of Directors. Upon Mr. Greer becoming Lead Director, he shall step down from being chair of the Compensation Committee; the Board has selected K’Lynne Johnson to become chair of the Compensation Committee at that time and assuming her reelection to the Board of Directors.

Board’s Role in Overseeing the Risk Management Process

As part of the Company’s risk management process, the Board regularly discusses with management the Company’s major risk exposures, their potential financial impact on the Company, and the steps the Company takes to manage them. The Board also reviews the designation of the management person or entity responsible for managing such risks, and evaluates the steps being taken to mitigate the risks. The Board’s monitoring role is carried out by either the full Board or a Committee that reports to the Board, depending on the risk in question. The Board has determined that a separate Risk Committee is not warranted at this time.

Overview of Stockholder Engagement

The Company is committed to engaging with our stockholders. We regularly connect with stockholders throughout the year to answer their questions and solicit their views. In addition, we also conduct a regular outreach process during January and February to solicit stockholder feedback for the Board prior to its review and approval of the proxy statement.

Following the strong stockholder support (90 percent) of our Say on Pay proposal last spring and the engaging conversations with stockholders on environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics over the last year, we conducted another outreach focused on ESG.

During our recent engagement process, we contacted 93 stockholders (representing approximately 75 percent of our shares outstanding) offering to engage with them and held 20 calls or meetings with stockholders (representing approximately 35 percent of our shares outstanding) during this engagement cycle. We discussed our goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2035, continued progress on diversity & inclusion objectives, cybersecurity, and governance topics like Board diversity and oversight of sustainability initiatives in the Company.

Additional highlights from those calls included:

•	Investors complimented FMC’s commitment to sustainability for the past decade and alignment with Science Based Targets Institute’s (SBTi) criteria and inclusion of Scope 3 emissions in our net-zero goal
•	Discussion of our focus on “sustainable” product development, the definition of sustainable products, and why that is so important in the agricultural chemicals industry
•	Several investors noted that they have in-house capabilities on assessing companies through an ESG lens as opposed to solely relying on third-party raters and rankers
•	Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) topics centered around recruitment and retention programs as well as cascading of DEI goals throughout the organization
•	Executive compensation came up only in the context of whether additional sustainability metrics will be included as performance measures similar to the diversity and inclusion metrics added in 2021

We also contacted both leading proxy advisory services, Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. and Glass Lewis & Co. Glass Lewis accepted our offer and we engaged on similar topics.

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct Policy

The Company has a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct that applies to all directors, officers (including its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Controller) and employees. It is posted on the Investor Relations page of the Company’s website at www.fmc.com, under “Governance — Corporate Policies”. The Company intends to post any amendments to, or waivers from, the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct required to be disclosed by either SEC or NYSE regulations on the Governance — Corporate Policies section of the Investor Relations page of the Company’s website.

Compensation and Organization Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During the last fiscal year, Messrs. Greer, Kempthorne, Norris and Ms. Johnson served as members of the Compensation Committee. All members of the Compensation Committee during 2021 were non-employee directors, each of whom was determined by the Board to be independent on the basis described in the above section entitled “Committees and Independence of Directors”. None of the current or former members listed above has been an officer or employee of the Company, and no executive officer of the Company has served on any board of directors or compensation committee of any other company for which any of the Company’s directors served as an executive officer at any time during 2021.

Related Party Transactions Policy

The Board of Directors Statement of Policy with respect to Related Party Transactions sets forth the Company’s position and procedures with respect to review, approval or ratification of related party transactions, including the types of transactions addressed by the Policy, and the corporate function responsible for applying the Policy and related procedures.

Under the Policy, “related parties” are defined to include executive officers and directors of the Company and their immediate family members, a stockholder owning in excess of 5% of the Company (or its controlled affiliates), and entities in which any of the foregoing have a substantial ownership interest or control. With respect to any transaction where a related party receives a benefit in excess of a de minimis amount of $5,000 (when aggregated with all similar transactions) the Policy requires that the transaction be pre-approved (or, if less than $120,000, ratified) by the Audit Committee and disclosed where required by SEC rules. The Policy also provides that any related party who is presented with a “corporate opportunity” within the Company’s line of business, must first offer that opportunity to the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an ordinary course of business transaction between the Company and an entity of which a director of the Company is an executive officer or significant stockholder of the entity, provided the director does not otherwise have a material interest in the transaction, the Policy provides a different standard for the review and approval of transactions that involve payments in any year to or from the Company in excess of either: (i) 1% of the Company’s annual consolidated revenue for the most recently completed fiscal year or (ii) the greater of $1 million or 1% of the other entity’s consolidated revenue for the most recently completed fiscal year. If the transaction does not exceed the above-mentioned thresholds (and the director does not have a material interest in the transaction), the transaction will be reviewed by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as part of its review of director independence. If the director does have a material interest in the transaction, regardless of whether the above-mentioned thresholds are exceeded, the transaction must be approved or ratified by the Audit Committee in accordance with the preceding paragraph.

In the event of an ordinary course of business transaction that exceeds the above-mentioned thresholds where the director does not have a material interest, the transaction is not required to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. Instead, the Audit Committee will review the transaction as soon as possible and will determine whether to either ratify or disallow the transaction. In the case of any such transaction associated with prospective directors, review and approval by the Audit Committee must occur prior to the director’s election. After approval or ratification, in each case the director will provide updated information at least annually on the aggregate payments involved in the transaction. This information will be reviewed by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in connection with its review of directors’ independence. If the aggregate amounts involved in the transaction exceed the thresholds noted above, the Audit Committee shall be required again to review and ratify the transaction.

The Related Party Transactions Policy does not apply to transactions available to all employees generally and transactions involving solely matters of executive compensation.

There were no related party transactions required to be approved or ratified by the Audit Committee under the Policy or disclosed pursuant to SEC rules since January 1, 2021.

Executive Summary

Financial Highlights

FMC posted solid results in 2021, despite numerous supply chain challenges and significant cost headwinds related to the COVID-19 pandemic. FMC grew revenue by 9% in 2021 as compared to 2020, and grew 8% organically excluding the impact of foreign currency. FMC’s long-term fundamentals remain solid, driven by our balanced geographic and crop exposure, as well as a technologically advantaged portfolio.

2021 highlights include, as compared to 2020 results:

•	Revenue of $5 billion, representing a 9% increase and 8% organic growth. On a regional basis, sales in Asia increased 13% (+10% organically), sales in Europe, Middle East and Africa decreased by 1% (-4% organically), sales in Latin America increased by 12% (+14% organically), and sales in North America increased 8%.
•	GAAP net income of $734 million, representing a 33% increase
•	Adjusted EBITDA of $1.324 billion, representing a 6% increase
•	GAAP earnings of $5.70 per diluted share, representing a 35% increase
•	Adjusted earnings per diluted share of $6.93, representing a 12% increase
•	GAAP cash flow from operations of $899 million, representing a 22% increase
•	Free cash flow of $713 million, representing a 31% increase

All of the aforementioned achievements are reflective of our culture, our people and our accomplishment of strategic business goals. Further, we believe our executive team has been properly motivated through our executive compensation program to focus on the achievement of these goals, both in the short term and long term. We realize that an intense focus on the long-term health and direction of the Company is essential. As such, our executive compensation program has been carefully constructed to appropriately motivate executives to accomplish short-term objectives that are part of our strategy and to create long-term, sustainable stockholder value, and it predominantly rewards executives for the achievement of various goals. In fact, we link a significant portion of compensation, including approximately 85% of our CEO’s compensation, directly to key measures of our corporate performance – including adjusted earnings, operating cash flow and share price performance (both absolute and relative).

As an important input to our process, our Compensation Committee and management have also continued to engage in broad stockholder engagement and dialogue regarding our corporate governance, including executive compensation.

FMC CORPORATION - Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement 28

Back to Contents

In the process, we have established critical feedback channels to ensure that we receive and consider such input. Incorporating stockholder feedback continues to be a vibrant and consistent part of the compensation design process.

For a discussion of certain non-GAAP financial measures referred to in this proxy statement, including Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted earnings per share, free cash flow, and Three-Year Cumulative Operating Cash Flow, see “Components of Executive Compensation” below. For a discussion of other non-GAAP financial measures referred to in this proxy statement, including organic revenue change, as well as a reconciliation of these items to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, reference is made to the sections captioned “Results of Operations - 2021, 2020 and 2019 – Organic Revenue Growth Reconciliation” on p. 26 and “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Free Cash Flow” on p. 36, in each case of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022. We believe that organic revenue growth, a non-GAAP measure, is helpful to management and investors as measures of operating performance because it excludes various items that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance. Organic revenue growth should not be considered as a substitute for revenue reported in accordance with GAAP.

Leadership Transitions

Pierre Brondeau, our Executive Chairman since June 2020, retired from the Company as an executive officer and was elected non-executive Chairman of the Board effective April 27, 2021. Assuming that Mr. Brondeau is reelected as a director at the 2022 Annual Meeting, Mr. Brondeau will continue to serve as non-executive Chairman of the Board. See the discussion above under “Corporate Governance-Board Leadership Structure,” for more information about the Board’s determination to maintain a governance structure that includes a non-executive, non-independent Chairman and a separate Lead Director, which is intended to ensure continuity and strong and effective leadership at this time.

Key Aspects of Our 2021 Executive Compensation Program

Base Salaries

Mr. Douglas, our President and CEO, received a base salary increase of 5.0%. Also, as part of the continuation of the gradual, multi-year transition to bring the base salaries of Messrs. Sandifer and Reilly into alignment with the market median for their positions, their base salaries were increased 10.0% and 8.0% respectively. Mr. Pereira and Dr. Shelton first became executive officers on December 16, 2021.

Annual Incentive Opportunity

	Company-wide performance accounted for 70% of the annual incentive performance goals; individual performance goals accounted for the other 30%.
	Adjusted Earnings was maintained as the sole Company-wide metric for Messrs. Douglas, Sandifer and Reilly, with Free Cash Flow added in 2020 as a modifier.
	The Compensation Committee set the Adjusted Earnings target at a level that it considered rigorous and challenging to achieve. The target was set meaningfully (5%) above the prior year levels.
	The Adjusted Earnings goal had a threshold performance level of approximately 90% of target, which must be exceeded in order for any payout to be earned.
	Adjusted EBITDA was set as a Company-wide metric for Mr. Pereira and Dr. Shelton, and was set at a demanding level and with the same Free Cash Flow modifier as was used in conjunction with the Adjusted Earnings metric. Regional operating profitability was set as the other metric for Mr. Pereira, with a corresponding cash flow modifier.

The target opportunity percentages for Messrs. Douglas, Sandifer and Reilly were increased to 125% from 110%, to 85% from 80%, and to 70% from 65%, respectively, as part of the continuation of the multi-year program to bring them each closer to the market median for their positions. The target opportunity percentages for Mr. Pereira and Dr. Shelton were 70% and 60%, respectively.

Adjusted Earnings were $895 million, compared to a target of $847 million, a target set above the prior year level. Free Cash Flow was $713 million, above the maximum performance level of $620 million which resulted an additional 10% increase in the final rating. Adjusted EBITDA was $1,324 million, compared to a target of $1,288 million, and the corresponding rating was subject to the same Free Cash Flow Modifier and corresponding 10% increase in the final rating.

Long-Term Incentive Awards

	The primary (70%) performance metric for the performance-based RSUs remained TSR relative to a custom peer group using the S&P 1500 Composite Chemical Index plus select additional companies.
	The secondary (30%) performance metric, three-year cumulative operating cash flow, remained.
	Performance-based RSUs again represented 50% of the long-term equity granted to Mr. Douglas, 40% of the long-term equity granted to Messrs. Sandifer and Reilly, and 33.3% for Mr. Pereira and Dr. Shelton.
	Time-based RSUs represented 20% of the total long-term equity grants to Mr. Douglas, 30% of the grants to Messrs. Sandifer and Reilly, and 33.3% of the grants to Mr. Pereira and Dr. Shelton.
	Stock options again represented 30% of the total long-term equity grants to Mr. Douglas, 30% of the grants to Messrs. Sandifer and Reilly, and 33.3% of the grants to Mr. Pereira and Dr. Shelton.

•

2019-2021 Performance-Based RSUs Payout. The performance-based RSUs granted in 2019 were the first to include both the relative TSR primary metric and the three-year cumulative operating cash flow secondary metric. The Company generated a -5.93% 2021 annual and 66.21% cumulative TSR from 2019 to 2021, and its relative percentile ranking for these performance periods were 15.2% and 52.2%, respectively. Based on this performance, the NEOs earned a total of 117% of the target number of performance-based RSUs that had relative TSR as the metric. The Company also produced three-year cumulative operating cash flow of $3,635 million, relative to a target of $3,335 million. Based on this performance, the NEOs earned a total of 172% of the target number of performance-based RSUs that had operating cash flow as the metric.

2021 Say on Pay Vote and Stockholder Engagement

At our 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, our stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs, with approximately 93% of the votes cast on the matter “For” such approval. The Committee viewed the approval by stockholders of the executive compensation program at such a strong level as evidence that a substantial majority of stockholders are aligned with our executive compensation program.

The Compensation Committee and management continue to engage regularly in dialogue with a broad spectrum of the Company’s stockholders. In early 2022, we reached out to our top 90 stockholders, representing 75% of our common shares outstanding. We held calls with 20 stockholders, representing 35%, and a member of our Compensation and Sustainability Committees and members of our management participated in these discussions in order to demonstrate our commitment to strong corporate governance and our effort to gather input from our stockholders, which we believe enables us to better understand their perspectives. We discussed executive compensation, ESG topics and human capital management, among other things. We also reached out to the research teams at proxy advisory firms Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. and Glass Lewis & Co.; Glass Lewis accepted our offer and we engaged on similar topics.

How Our Pay Program Works

We believe that the design and structure of our pay program, and in particular our incentive plans, support FMC’s business strategy. Our program reflects our pay for performance approach and our objective to align executive officer focus and interest with that of stockholders. Our annual incentive plan reflects a focus on income statement metrics, while our long-term performance awards were based 70% on relative TSR performance to align with stockholder value and 30% on three-year cumulative operating cash flow, a key strategic priority and value driver. All elements have been carefully chosen and utilized; the value received and realizable for FMC executives is aligned with corporate performance.

Elements of Pay

Our compensation program is designed to reward executives for achievement of our Company’s short-term and long-term goals. In doing so, we have also constructed the pay program to attract and retain world-class talent and to align executive compensation pay opportunities with the interests of stockholders. The Compensation Committee has selected the following framework to achieve these objectives:

Target Total Direct Compensation Mix

Consistent with our objectives as stated above, and our overarching focus on pay and performance alignment, the pay mix was set as follows:

•	The largest portion of compensation is variable, at-risk pay, in the form of annual and long-term incentives (including annual incentive, performance-based RSUs (“PRSUs”), options and time-based RSUs)
•	Our program provides a balance between long-term and short-term awards, and the performance objectives are consistent with our business strategy

FMC CORPORATION - Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement 30

Back to Contents

Percentage of total direct compensation (“TDC”) as shown in the above charts is based on the 2021 base salary, the 2021 annual incentive compensation opportunity (assuming achievement at the target level), the grant date fair value of the performance-based RSUs (assuming vesting at the target achievement level) and the grant date fair value of the time-based stock options and RSU awards. Each compensation element is outlined in more detail in the 2021 Summary Compensation Table below.

For the CEO Pay Mix, the proportions were derived from the annualized target TDC of our President and CEO, Mark Douglas. For the Other NEO Pay Mix, the proportions represent the average of Messrs. Sandifer, Pereira and Reilly and Dr. Shelton.

Compensation Program Governance

Our Compensation Committee is responsible for oversight of the Company’s compensation program and values. A significant part of this is aligning management interests with the Company’s business strategies and goals, as well as the interest of our stockholders, while also mitigating excessive risk taking. To that end, FMC has committed to numerous governance practices and safeguards to ensure the compensation program does not misalign those interests.

What We Do		What We Don’t Do
Use equity for long-term incentive awards		No highly leveraged incentive plans that encourage excessive risk taking
Determine performance-based RSUs based on relative TSR and operating cash flow		No excessive perquisites
Provide change in control benefits under double-trigger circumstances only		No guaranteed bonuses
Benchmark against peers whose profile, operations, and business markets share similarities with the Company		No discounted stock options
Maintain an executive share ownership policy		No repricing without stockholder approval or backdating of stock options
Apply anti-pledging and anti-hedging policy for Company shares		No immediate vesting of stock options or restricted stock units except for certain change-in-control with termination and retirement-eligible situations
Maintain a clawback policy designed to recoup incentive compensation paid to executive officers based on erroneously prepared financial statements		No excise tax gross-ups under our executive officer compensation program
Engage independent advisors
Maintain an appropriate balance between short-term and long-term compensation which discourages short-term risk taking at the expense of long-term results
Cap annual incentive plan payouts and number of PRSUs that may be earned under long-term incentive plan

Objectives and Philosophy

The Company’s executive compensation program is designed to attract, motivate and retain top talent, to pay for performance and to align the financial interests of the NEOs with those of the Company’s stockholders. In designing compensation arrangements for NEOs, the Compensation Committee has considered the importance of:

•	Balancing variable compensation components so that appropriate focus is put on achieving both short-term and long-term operating and strategic objectives;
•	Motivating NEOs to achieve desired financial and operational results using sound business judgment and without inappropriate risk taking; and
•	Ensuring that the achievement of key financial goals and strategic objectives is financially rewarding for NEOs.

In general, we believe it is critical to pay executives at a competitive level relative to our peer group in order to attract and retain the talent we need to deliver high performance. In addition to looking at our peer group, we make individual pay decisions based on a variety of factors such as Company, business unit and individual performance, scope of responsibility, critical needs and skills, experience, time in the role, leadership potential and succession planning.

The Compensation Committee believes that subjecting a significant percentage of TDC to performance conditions helps focus the executive on achieving key objectives that are important to executing our strategy and delivering the performance expected by stockholders.

Compensation Determination Process

Role of Compensation and Organization Committee and of CEO

The Compensation Committee establishes our compensation philosophy and objectives, determines the structure, components and other elements of executive compensation, and reviews and approves the compensation of the NEOs or recommends it for approval by the Board. The Compensation Committee structures the executive compensation program to accomplish its articulated compensation objectives in light of the compensation philosophy described above.

The Compensation Committee recognizes its responsibility to maintain a competitive executive compensation program that will support the Company’s ability to attract, motivate and retain top talent while at the same time aligning the financial interests of the executives with those of stockholders. Pay for performance and market-based compensation are important elements of the Company’s compensation philosophy. The Company considers several measures of corporate performance, job performance and labor market dynamics, as well as stockholder feedback, in the design and administration of the NEO compensation arrangements described later in this section.

The Compensation Committee establishes total compensation for the CEO annually at its February meeting. The Compensation Committee reviews and evaluates the performance of the CEO and develops base salary and incentive opportunity recommendations for the review and approval of the full Board of Directors. The CEO does not participate in Compensation Committee or Board discussions regarding his own compensation.

The Compensation Committee, with the input of the CEO, also establishes compensation for the other NEOs. Specifically, the CEO evaluates the performance of the other NEOs annually and makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee each February regarding the compensation of those other NEOs. The CEO’s input is particularly important in connection with base salary adjustments and the determination of the Individual Measures ratings (Annual Performance Incentive (“API”)) as part of our Annual Incentive program. In each of these instances, the process starts with the CEO’s recommendation, and that recommendation is afforded great weight by the Compensation Committee. The CEO participates in Compensation Committee discussions regarding other NEOs’ compensation. The Compensation Committee views the CEO’s significant role in the compensation process for other NEOs, and the deference afforded to his recommendations, as appropriate in light of his greater familiarity with the day-to-day performance of his direct reports and the importance of incentive compensation in driving the execution of managerial initiatives developed and led by the CEO. That said, the Compensation Committee makes the ultimate determination regarding the compensation of each of the NEOs.

Role of Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee recognizes that there is value in procuring independent, objective expertise and counsel in connection with fulfilling its duties and has the authority to retain an independent compensation consultant to assist it in carrying out its responsibilities.

The Compensation Committee retained Aon as its independent compensation consultant for 2021 compensation decisions. Aon reported directly to the Compensation Committee, and the Compensation Committee has the sole authority to retain, terminate and obtain the advice of Aon at the Company’s expense.

Aon’s advice was taken into consideration for all aspects of 2021 compensation as delineated in the Summary Compensation Table.

For 2021, Aon provided the Compensation Committee with advice and counsel on a broad range of executive compensation matters. The scope of Aon’s services included, but was not limited to, the following:

•	Apprising the Compensation Committee of compensation-related trends and developments in the marketplace;
•	Informing the Compensation Committee of regulatory developments relating to executive compensation practices;

FMC CORPORATION - Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement 32

Back to Contents

•	Advising the Compensation Committee on appropriate peer companies for compensation pay levels and design practices, as well as relative performance comparisons;
•	Providing the Compensation Committee with an assessment of the market competitiveness of the Company’s executive compensation;
•	Assessing the executive compensation structure to confirm that no design elements encourage excessive risk taking;
•	Assessing the relationship between executive compensation and corporate performance; and
•	Recommending changes to the executive compensation program to maintain competitiveness and ensure consistency with business strategies, good governance practices and alignment with stockholder interests.

At the time that FMC engaged Aon as its executive compensation advisor, the Compensation Committee was aware of the types and general magnitude of the fees for other services that Aon provided to FMC. Aon was selected because the Compensation Committee is confident that the team advising on executive compensation issues was both highly qualified and would be independent.

For 2021, in determining the independence of Aon, the Compensation Committee considered independence in light of the six independence factors set forth in the SEC rules and NYSE listing standards. In total, fees paid to Aon during 2021 for services not related to Aon’s work with the Compensation Committee, such as global pension, investment and consulting services and risk brokerage services, were approximately $1,513,294. Fees paid to Aon during 2021 for services related to recommending the amount and form of executive and director compensation were approximately $170,234. Aon had been providing services in areas other than executive compensation consulting to FMC prior to the Compensation Committee’s selection of Aon for executive compensation consulting services.

In terms of assessing independence, the Compensation Committee also gave credit to the safeguards that Aon’s executive compensation practice has put in place to maintain its independence. The Compensation Committee also considered that no business or personal relationships exist between any members of the consultants’ teams advising the Company on the one hand, and the Company, any members of the Compensation Committee or any executive officers on the other hand, other than in connection with the services provided. Therefore, the Compensation Committee has concluded that Aon is independent, as no conflict of interest exists between Aon and the Company.

Peer Group

The Compensation Committee believes that obtaining relevant market and benchmark data is very important in making determinations about executive compensation. Such information provides a solid reference point for making decisions and very helpful context, even though, relative to other companies, there are differences and unique aspects of the Company.

The Company relies on both industry surveys and analysis of proxy statements from peer companies (the “Market”) prepared by its compensation consultant to assess the market competitiveness of the components of its NEO compensation and to validate the appropriateness of TDC, including the appropriate mix of cash and equity, as well as NEO benefits and perquisites. Proxy statement data may not be available for all jobs that are direct comparisons to jobs held by the Company’s NEOs. In such cases, the Company relies more on the broader survey data to assess acceptable ranges for the elements of executive compensation. The Company also believes that internal equity is an important and necessary consideration in valuing jobs. The Company may, as a matter of policy, adjust individual components of TDC to align with the Market or with its general executive pay philosophy as described in the preceding section. However, the Company does not adjust components of TDC based on the amount of compensation earned by an NEO in any prior period.

In connection with determining 2021 executive compensation, the Company reviewed a market study of executive compensation at peer companies. The peer group is reviewed periodically for appropriateness, comparability in market segment and to account for merger and acquisition activity affecting the companies. Guidelines used for developing the peer group include similar industry representation and revenue and market capitalization generally within the range of one-third to three times that of FMC.

Components of Executive Compensation

The NEO compensation program consists of three primary elements: base salary, an annual incentive and a long-term incentive. The Compensation Committee regularly reviews all components of the program in order to verify that each executive officer’s total compensation is consistent with its compensation philosophy and objectives and that the component is serving a purpose in supporting the execution of our strategy. The value of, and allocation to, each of these elements is commensurate with the level of responsibility and impact of our results for each executive.

Base Salary

Salary ranges for NEOs are established based on similar positions in other companies of comparable market capitalization, revenue, size and complexity included in the Market. Performance levels from “does not meet expectations” to “exceeds expectations” provide guidance for the administration of salaries.

Starting salaries are based on the NEO’s skills, experience, expertise and expected job performance. Subsequent salary adjustments for the NEOs (except the CEO) are based on job performance as assessed by the CEO, who recommends the appropriate base salary to the Compensation Committee for their approval. The Compensation Committee itself determines any salary adjustment for the CEO. Base salary reviews are part of the broader compensation review that occurs at the February meeting of the Compensation Committee and focus on the performance of the NEOs in their respective major responsibility areas. These include but are not limited to, financial management, customer relations, strategic planning and business development, operational excellence, safety performance, staffing and talent management, performance management, and litigation management.

In 2021, Mr. Douglas, our President and CEO, received a base salary increase of 5.0%. Also, as part of the continuation of the gradual, multi-year transition to bring the base salaries of Messrs. Sandifer and Reilly into alignment with the market median, their base salaries were increased 10.0% and 8.0%, respectively. The table below shows the change in base salary for the continuing NEOs in 2021. For Mr. Pereira and Dr. Shelton, newly appointed executive officers in late 2021, the table below shows 2021 base salary rates.

Annual Incentive

The annual incentive plan for executive officers is a cash plan that rewards NEOs for the achievement of key short-term objectives. Its structure aligns our NEOs’ interests with those of our stockholders by providing incentives to the NEOs to achieve certain short-term financial and operational results that the Compensation Committee views as critical to the execution of our business strategy.

The amount of the annual incentive wopportunity and payout for the NEOs is determined as follows:

Target Opportunities

The Compensation Committee determines a target cash incentive opportunity by taking the individual’s base salary and multiplying it by the individual’s target incentive percentage. The target incentive percentages are determined with reference to the peer company percentages of salary and the proportion of TDC represented by the annual incentive, among other factors.

Mark Douglas		125%
Andrew Sandifer		85%
Ronaldo Pereira		70%
Michael Reilly		70%
Kathleen Shelton		60%

Performance Measures

To determine payouts earned, the annual incentive plan has two categories of performance measures: a Company Measure and Individual Measures.

Company Measure and Modifier for Messrs. Douglas, Sandifer and Reilly

The Company Measure (“Business Performance Incentives,” or “BPI”), which represents 70% of the annual incentive opportunity for Messrs. Douglas, Sandifer and Reilly, is:

Adjusted Earnings

As it has for several years, the Compensation Committee determined to make Adjusted Earnings the Company-wide metric for Messrs. Douglas, Sandifer and Reilly, in order to focus those executive officers on what the Compensation Committee believes is the most critical strategic priority of profitability.

		Adjusted Earnings is defined as net income (loss) attributable to FMC stockholders (a GAAP measure) plus the sum of discontinued operations attributable to FMC Stockholders, net of income taxes and the after-tax effect of Corporate special charges (income) and Non-GAAP Tax adjustments.
		Adjusted Earnings amounts in the annual incentive plan might differ from the amounts reported in our financial statements because the amounts shown for these performance measures have been adjusted to exclude gains or losses attributable to (i) certain extraordinary and/or non-recurring events (such as business acquisitions or dispositions or business restructuring charges), and (ii) certain other items not reflective of operating performance (such as the impact of changes in accounting principles). In 2021, however, these adjustments did not materially affect the amount of any NEO’s annual incentive award.

The Compensation Committee defined a payout curve for the Adjusted Earnings metric which sets out the amount to be paid depending on actual performance. In order to motivate performance and underscore the centrality of achieving target, the Compensation Committee set the payout for achieving the threshold level of performance at 0%, with the payout increasing through various bend points to 100% of the target opportunity for achieving target performance, and through additional bend points to 200% of the target opportunity for maximum performance or above.

The Compensation Committee used Adjusted Earnings, a non-GAAP measure, as a performance metric in structuring our annual incentive program for Messrs. Douglas, Sandifer and Reilly. We believe that this non-GAAP measure is helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it excludes various items that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance. Adjusted Earnings should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) or other measures of performance or liquidity reported in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of Adjusted Earnings to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, reference is made to the section captioned “Results of Operations - 2021, 2020 and 2019 – Adjusted Earnings Reconciliation” on p. 25 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022.

Free Cash Flow

The Compensation Committee also included again in 2021 a modifier in the design of the Annual Incentive for Messrs. Douglas, Sandifer and Reilly. The Compensation Committee views the achievement of target performance with respect to free cash flow as critical, as the ability of the Company to generate cash is vital to funding operations and returning capital to shareholders, and it is something that is more directly within management’s control. In addition to serving as a part of the annual incentive for the NEOs, the annual incentive program for a larger group of our senior leaders used the same or similar metrics, so that the full management team is aligned. The Compensation Committee added this modifier in part to motivate all of the members of this larger group to achieve the Free Cash Flow goal, and believes it was effective in doing so. Because of how critical it is to achieve cash flow performance within the target range, the modifier only applies if cash flow is either above a maximum level or below a threshold level. If cash flow achievement is either higher than the maximum or lower than the threshold, then the Committee applies a performance modifier factor of +10% or -10%, respectively, to the Company’s Adjusted Earnings Company Measure Rating. The modifier does not apply when cash flow is at or above the threshold level but does not exceed the maximum amount.

We believe that Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP measure, is helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it excludes various items that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance. Free Cash Flow should not be considered as a substitute for cash flows from continuing operations or other measures of performance or liquidity reported in accordance with GAAP. For the definitions of Free Cash Flow and a reconciliation of this item to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, reference is made to the section captioned

“Liquidity and Capital Resources– Statement of Cash Flows” on p. 34 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022.

Performance Goals for Company Measure for Messrs. Douglas, Sandifer and Reilly

Target

The Compensation Committee obtains input from executive officers regarding the annual operating plan, expected financial results, and related risks. Based on this information, the Compensation Committee establishes the targets for the annual incentive plan. For each metric, the Committee sets appropriate threshold and maximum levels of performance designed to motivate achievement without incentivizing excessive risk-taking.

In setting the target for the Company Measure, the Compensation Committee set it at a level that it considered rigorous and challenging, which took into account the relevant risks and opportunities. The target was set meaningfully (5%) above the prior year level of actual performance. It then reviewed the relevant financial objectives set as a result of the detailed budgeting process, and assessed various factors related to the achievability of the budget target.

These factors include:

•	Risks associated with achieving specific actions which underpin the budget target, such as achieving manufacturing targets, launching new products, completing capital investments on-schedule, and obtaining cost savings;
•	The implied performance relative to peers;
•	The implied performance relative to prior years; and
•	Market conditions.

Threshold; Maximum

Having set the targets, the Compensation Committee also set the threshold and maximum performance levels. For 2021, the Committee set the threshold level at a relatively high-performance level that equates to approximately 90% of the target for Adjusted Earnings. The Committee set the maximum level at a performance level that equates to approximately 109% of target for Adjusted Earnings, a level that presented a significant challenge requiring exceptionally strong performance.

The Compensation Committee assesses performance achievement against the performance metrics and determines the rating on each one, and then, based on the weighting given to each metric, determines the weighted average of the results, which yields an overall BPI rating for this metric. The Company Measures (BPI) rating may range from 0 (at or below threshold) to 1.0 (target) to 2.0 (maximum).

(1)

The amounts shown for the performance measure may differ from the amount reported in our financial statements because it has been adjusted to exclude gains or losses attributable to (i) certain extraordinary and/or non-recurring events (such as business acquisitions or dispositions or business restructuring charges), and (ii) certain other items not reflective of operating performance (such as the impact of changes in accounting principles). In 2021, however, these adjustments did not materially affect the amount of any NEO’s annual incentive award.

(2)

Adjusted Earnings: Payouts for performance over the applicable payout range between threshold and target and between target and maximum are determined based on a payout curve, as described in the section above entitled “Adjusted Earnings”. No additional payout is made for Adjusted Earnings achievement in excess of $921 million.

Company Measures for Dr. Shelton (Sole) and Mr. Pereira (Primary)

The Company Measure (BPI), which represents the entire (100% of 70%, or 70% total) annual incentive opportunity for Dr. Shelton, our Chief Technology Officer, and half (50% of 70%, or 35% total) of the annual incentive opportunity for Mr. Pereira, our Executive Vice President and President, FMC Americas, is the following:

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net income (loss) (a GAAP measure) plus the sum of discontinued operations, net of income taxes, Corporate special charges (income), interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes and depreciation and amortization.

The Compensation Committee defined a payout curve for the Adjusted EBITDA metric which sets out the amount to be paid depending on actual performance; the curve is similar to the curve for Adjusted Earnings, with a threshold level of performance at 0% and the payout increasing through various bend points up to 100% of the target opportunity for achieving target performance, and through various bend points up to 200% for maximum performance or above.

The Compensation Committee used Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, as a performance metric in structuring the annual incentive for Dr. Shelton and Mr. Pereira. We believe that this non-GAAP measure is helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it excludes various items that do not relate to or

FMC CORPORATION - Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement 36

are not indicative of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) or other measures of performance or liquidity reported in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, reference is made to the section captioned “Results of Operations -2021, 2020 and 2019 – Adjusted Earnings Reconciliation” on p. 25 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022.

Free Cash Flow

The Compensation Committee included the same modifier to the Adjusted EBITDA metric for Dr. Shelton and Mr. Pereira as was used with respect to the Adjusted Earnings metric for Messrs. Douglas, Sandifer and Reilly: Free Cash Flow.

Performance Goal for Company Measure for Dr. Shelton and Mr. Pereira

Target

In setting the target for this Company Measure, Adjusted EBITDA, the Compensation Committee set it at a level that it considered rigorous and challenging, which took into account the relevant risks and opportunities. The target was set at a 3% increase above the prior year level of actual performance, which was at the high end of the range of 2021 market growth forecasts.

Threshold; Maximum

Having set the target, the Compensation Committee also set the threshold and maximum performance levels. For 2021, the Committee set the threshold level at a relatively high-performance level that equates to approximately 92% of the target for Adjusted EBITDA. The Committee set the maximum level at a performance level that equates to approximately 107% of target for Adjusted EBITDA, a level that presented a significant challenge requiring exceptionally strong performance.

The Compensation Committee assesses performance achievement against the performance metric and determines the rating, including the effect of the modifier, which yields an overall BPI rating for this metric.

Final Company Measure (BPI) Rating for Dr. Shelton and Mr. Pereira

1.51

(1)

The amounts shown for the performance measure may differ from the amount reported in our financial statements. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net income (loss) (a GAAP measure) plus the sum of discontinued operations, net of income taxes, Corporate special charges (income), interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. In 2021, however, these adjustments did not materially affect the amount of any NEO’s annual incentive award.

(2)

Adjusted EBITDA: Payouts for performance over the applicable payout range between threshold and target and between target and maximum are determined based on a payout curve, as described in the section above entitled “Adjusted EBITDA”. No additional payout is made for Adjusted EBITDA achievement in excess of $1,374 million.

Additional Company Measure for Mr. Pereira

In addition to Adjusted EBITDA, the other half of the Company Measure (35% of the total) for Mr. Pereira is represented by operating profitability for the geographic regions he oversees. The Compensation Committee utilized this measure in order to align the incentive for Mr. Pereira with his area of responsibility. This measure gives him a clear line of sight and sufficient control over the performance toward the goal to effectively motivate him to achieve our business objectives. (We do not publicly disclose the regional targets because of the potential for competitive harm from such disclosure, as they would provide our competitors with information about our strategy and profitability in subsets of our business that is not otherwise public, the revelation of which would be harmful to us.) The Compensation Committee believes that it has set the performance goal at a rigorous and challenging level so as to require significant effort and achievement to be attained. The Compensation Committee assesses Mr. Pereira’s achievement against this performance metric and determines the rating. Like the other Company Measures, there are cash flow modifiers associated with the measure, similarly designed to motivate target cash flow achievement and to reward or penalize achievement outside the target range. The Committee then determined the weighted average of the rating on this measure, which has an aggregate 35% weighting (50% of 70%) and the rating given to the Adjusted EBITDA metric (35% weighting). Based on achievement on Adjusted EBITDA, very strong performance relative to the demanding regional operating profitability measure and the cash flow modifiers, the Compensation Committee determined an overall BPI rating for Mr. Pereira of 1.805.

Individual Measures

The Compensation Committee also considers Individual Measures (“Annual Performance Incentive,” or “API”), which represent 30% of the annual incentive target opportunity. The Individual Measures generally consist of non-financial objectives specific to each NEO, but may include financial measures at the discretion of the CEO. In early 2021, the Board met with Mr. Douglas in his capacity as President and CEO, and Mr. Douglas met with the NEOs to discuss the specific items, and expectations of achievement, constituting the Individual Measures portion of the annual incentive for such individual executive officer.

The CEO’s 2021 Individual Measures and performance with respect thereto resulting in the API rating set forth in the table below include the following:

	Individual Measures	Performance

For Individual Measures, the Compensation Committee assesses performance achievement against goals and determines the individual performance rating on each individual objective, and then, based on the weighting given to each goal, determines the weighted average of the results, which yields an overall individual rating. The Individual Measures rating may range from 0 to 2.0. The Compensation Committee determined that for 2021, Mr. Douglas received a 1.6 rating, Mr. Sandifer received a 1.5 rating, Mr. Pereira received a 1.65 rating, Mr. Reilly received a 1.3 rating and Dr. Shelton received a 1.4 rating.

Payout Calculation

Finally, the Compensation Committee takes 70% of the target cash incentive opportunity of each executive officer for the Company Measures component and multiplies it by the applicable Company Measures ratings for the applicable performance metrics to determine the Company Measures amount to be paid. Similarly, the Compensation Committee takes 30% of the target cash incentive opportunity of each executive officer for the Individual Measures component and multiplies it by the applicable Individual Measures rating to determine the Individual Measures amount to be paid.

The Compensation Committee then adds the amounts for the Company Measures component and the Individual Measures components to determine the total 2021 annual incentive payout for each NEO. The Compensation Committee then presents the determination of incentive payout amounts to the Board for its review and approval.

Sustainability-Related Individual Measures for 2022

The Company has had a longstanding practice of including in the Individual Measures of the CEO and other NEOs various objectives that align with various aspects of our Sustainability objectives. This practice will continue. We recognize the growing interest of stockholders in understanding the Company’s current commitment to its Sustainability goals and how management is being incentivized to address such goals.

We provide the following information regarding 2022 API goals relating to Sustainability which the Compensation Committee has established for the NEOs. Each individual NEO’s goals may be tailored to the particular role of that NEO. These goals, in turn, are cascaded as appropriate to all senior leaders in the Company. We are not publicly disclosing our specific business performance-related Individual Measures at this time because of the potential for competitive harm from such disclosure.

2022 API Sustainability Goals
Safety	•	Total Recordable Injury Rate (“TRIR”) <0.05% on the way to zero injuries
	•	Process Safety: Continue all Process Hazard Assessments in all plants
People/Diversity and Inclusion	•	Take action to create opportunities and remove barriers for a more inclusive workplace and show incremental progress toward the goals of 14% U.S. Black/ African American and 50% women globally
	•	Accelerate Task Force recommendations on retention and recruitment
General Sustainability	•	Stay on track regarding SBTi process for Net Zero strategy and targets
	•	Enhance external ESG communication
	•	Develop new Net Zero goals for 2030

Long-Term Incentives

The third and largest main component of the executive compensation program is long-term equity incentives. The Compensation Committee has designed the long-term incentive opportunity to motivate and reward executive officers to achieve multiyear strategic goals and deliver sustained long-term value to stockholders.

In 2021, long-term incentives (“LTI”) were granted to executives via three different vehicles: performance-based restricted stock unit awards, stock options and time-based restricted stock unit awards.

The Compensation Committee believes that LTI awards should compensate NEOs, in a meaningful way, for delivering sustainable long-term value to stockholders. LTI awards for the NEOs, except for the CEO, are recommended by the CEO and approved by the Compensation Committee. The LTI awards for the CEO are recommended by the Compensation Committee and approved by the full Board of Directors. All LTI awards are approved during the February meetings of the Compensation Committee and the Board.

Generally, LTI grants vest based on Company performance and/or the NEO’s continued service over a three-year period, except that NEO grants vest sooner in certain retirement-eligible situations. Unvested LTI grants are generally forfeited upon a cessation of service, but in certain scenarios, awards may vest upon or following a termination, as further described in the “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” section of this proxy statement.

Mark Douglas	2,600,000	1,560,000	1,040,000	5,200,000
Andrew Sandifer	477,840	358,380	358,380	1,194,600

Kathleen Shelton	122,133	122,133	122,133	366,400

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Awards

Performance-based awards are granted in the form of performance-based restricted stock units. The Compensation Committee believes that having share-based performance awards closely aligns pay with performance in the interests of the stockholders.

The number of performance-based restricted stock units earned is based on our achievement against two performance metrics, Relative TSR and three-year cumulative operating cash flow. The Compensation Committee utilized these two in order to focus executive officers on the critical strategic priorities of generating superior stockholder returns and generating long-term cash flow. Relative TSR represents 70% of overall performance, and three-year cumulative operating cash flow represents 30%. The Compensation Committee considers both metrics as building blocks to achieve our key strategic goals.

Relative TSR

The Compensation Committee has selected relative TSR because it ties executive officer compensation to the creation of stockholder value and aligns the interests of executive officers with those of our stockholders.

By measuring our stock performance relative to peers, it mitigates the impact of macroeconomic factors, both positive and negative, that affect the industry and/or stock price performance and are beyond the control of management, and it provides rewards that are more directly aligned with performance through different economic cycles.

With respect to the relative TSR portion, following the same approach as last year and in an effort to maintain a consistent and robust peer group of relevant performance peers, the 2021-2023 peer group reflects all companies included in the S&P 1500 Composite Chemical Index plus select additional chemical company peers, including companies not included in the index but a part of the Company’s compensation peer group, as described above. The 2021-2023 peer group differs from the 2020-2022 peer group due to changes in the companies included in the S&P 1500 Composite Chemical Index and a change in the companies included in the FMC compensation peer group, as described above.

In 2021, the Compensation Committee again selected relative TSR to incent management to achieve long-term stockholder returns and to reflect relative performance, not merely broad stock market moves. This metric also directly aligns management with stockholder interests. Relative TSR performance is calculated as four point-to-point measurements from 2021 to 2023. TSR performance is calculated for each of the three calendar years, as well as for the three-year period as a whole. Each of these four measurement periods carries a weight of 25% in calculating the final number of shares due. When the performance measure has been met for a particular calendar year during the three-year period of the award, that portion of units is “banked”, but is not considered “earned” and shares will not be delivered unless and until the executive remains in service for the three-year performance period (except in certain circumstances as described below under the heading entitled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control”) and the performance is approved by the Compensation Committee. In addition, if cash dividends were paid to the Company’s stockholders during the applicable measurement period, dividend equivalent units are credited with respect to the banked units and are delivered to the executive if and when the banked units are delivered.

Any value earned by executives for these awards is based on the Company achieving a relative performance measure of TSR at or above the 35^thpercentile (the threshold), and units will be banked as set forth in the table below.

Level	Percentile Ranking of Company’s Total Stockholder Return Versus Peer Group Total Stockholder Return		Percentage of the Target Units Banked
Below Threshold		Below the 35^thPercentile	0%
Threshold		35^thPercentile	50%
Target		50^thPercentile	100%
Maximum		80^thPercentile or higher	200%

If the cumulative three-year TSR performance for the period is negative, that portion (25%) of the payout is capped at 100% (target). For example, in the event of a broad and protracted market downturn, if the Company’s cumulative three-year TSR performance is negative, but still superior to most of the peer group, the payout for the three-year measurement period will be limited to target (even though performance in that scenario would have exceeded target). The Compensation Committee believes it is appropriate to limit the payout in such circumstances, notwithstanding relative outperformance.

The Compensation Committee believes that the increasing cyclicality of the Company’s business, particularly because, following the separation of its Lithium business in 2019, it is now a 100% agricultural sciences company, and the difficulty of finding peers with the same type of industry exposure, necessitate both a payment for performance beginning at the 35% TSR percentile, and a system for banking payouts based in part on one year periods.

Cumulative Three-Year Operating Cash Flow

Beginning in 2019, the Compensation Committee added Three-Year Cumulative Operating Cash Flow as a performance metric, representing 30% of the performance-based RSUs. This metric was added because it is highly aligned with our strategy for creating stockholder value, including our operational focus on returning cash to stockholders, it is something over which management has substantial control, and it unites management toward a common goal.

Operating Cash Flow is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA plus or minus the change in working capital, with Adjusted EBITDA defined as net income (loss) before corporate special charges (income); discontinued operations, net of income taxes; interest expense, net; depreciation and amortization; and the provision (benefit) for income taxes. The change in working capital is defined as the sum of (a) trade receivables (net), (b) guarantees of vendor financing, (c) inventories, (d) accounts payable (trade and other), (e) advance payments from customers, and (f) accrued customer rebates, each as reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flow for the relevant year. Three-Year Operating Cash Flow will be the sum of Operating Cash Flow of each individual year in the three-year period. The performance period for the 2021 award runs from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023.

We do not publicly disclose our specific performance measure targets and the corresponding minimums and maximums before the conclusion of the three-year performance period, because of the potential for competitive harm from such disclosure. This measure is competitively sensitive and would reveal information about our view of our anticipated trajectory, which is not otherwise public. The Compensation Committee believes that it has set the performance goal at a rigorous and challenging level so as to require significant effort and achievement by our executive officers to be attained, and that such goal has been established in light of the macroeconomic and industry environments, as well as our internal forecast. After the end of the performance period, the targets and achievement relative to such targets will be disclosed.

The Compensation Committee granted the following number of performance-based restricted stock units to the NEOs in early 2021:

NEO		PRSUs (#)
Mark Douglas		22,707
Andrew Sandifer		4,176
Ronaldo Pereira		1,491
Michael Reilly		2,326
Kathleen Shelton		1,069

For the 2021 performance period, the Company’s relative TSR performance was as follows:

	TSR			Peer Group^†			Target
Measurement Periods	Performance			Percentile			0.0			1.0			2.0			TSR Rating
2021-2023 Grant Year 1 (2021 TSR)		(5.93	)%		13.5	%		35	%		50	%		80	%		0.00

^†	As described above, peer group composition varies by grant year.

Thus, no amount was banked with respect to Year 1 of this award.

Stock Option Awards and Time-Based Restricted Stock Unit Awards

In addition to motivating performance through the performance-based restricted stock units, the Committee structured the balance of the equity vehicles and the relative weight assigned to each type (1) to motivate stock price appreciation over the long term through stock options, which deliver value only if the stock price increases, and (2) to ensure some amount of value delivery through time-based restricted stock units, which are complementary because they have upside potential but deliver some value even if the stock price does not go up, while also reinforcing an ownership culture and commitment to us.

Stock options cliff-vest after three years, which reinforces the creation of sustainable long-term stockholder value and promotes retention.

In determining the number of options required to meet the compensation level approved for an NEO, the Company divides that portion of the Compensation Committee-approved LTI award value related to stock options by the fair value of the option based on a Black-Scholes pricing model calculation using a 30-day average stock price for the period immediately preceding the February meeting of the Compensation Committee.

The exercise price of all stock option awards to NEOs is equal to the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant.

Time-based restricted stock units also cliff-vest after three years.

In determining the amount of restricted stock units required to meet the compensation level approved for an NEO, the Company divides that portion of the LTI award value related to restricted stock units for that year by a 30-day average stock price for the period immediately preceding the February meeting of the Compensation Committee. During the vesting period, if cash dividends are paid to the Company’s stockholders, the NEO will generally receive a special cash payment equal to the amount he or she would have received had he or she been the record holder of the shares underlying the RSUs when the dividend was declared and paid.

Generally, once the vesting condition is satisfied, the shares, less any shares used to satisfy statutory tax withholding obligations, are issued to the NEO.

One-Time Grant Prior to Appointment as Executive Officer

The Compensation Committee does not generally intend to provide one-time grants except in a very judicious and limited manner in rare circumstances as warranted by the situation. The Compensation Committee views any such grants to the NEOs as a special and exceptional nonrecurring event to meet the Company’s needs during a specific period or for a specific purpose. The Compensation Committee continues to prudently and carefully evaluate our compensation program to ensure that it aligns the interests of executive officers and stockholders and links their pay to the Company’s performance.

In 2021, the Compensation Committee did not approve any one-time grants to any NEOs, other than a grant that was made to Mr. Pereira in early 2021 prior to his appointment as an executive officer. In recognition of his outstanding performance in 2020 in his role as Executive Vice President and President, FMC Americas, in early 2021, the CEO recommended and the Compensation Committee approved a one-time grant with a target value of $250,000 worth of time-based restricted stock units to Mr. Pereira. The RSUs vest over four years.

Additional Compensation Policies and Practices

Executive Stock Ownership Policy

The Company has established guidelines setting expectations for the ownership of Common Stock by executive officers. The ownership targets are as follows:

Position		Required Salary Multiple
Chief Executive Officer		6x base salary
Chief Financial Officer		3x base salary
All other NEOs		2x base salary

These ownership guidelines are reviewed against our peer company practices and, if necessary, adjusted every other year in conjunction with the formal market study of executive compensation. NEOs have a period of up to five years from the date of their appointment to meet the guidelines. Only restricted stock units, vested stock in the Company’s Savings and Investment Plans and personal holdings of FMC shares may be counted for purposes of compliance. Unexercised stock options, including vested in-the-money options, may not be counted for purposes of compliance. In addition, the Company does not permit the sale of shares acquired upon the exercise of options or upon the vesting of time-based or performance-based restricted stock unit awards in an amount greater than 50% of the grant if the ownership targets have not been met.

Mr. Pereira and Dr. Shelton have five years from the date of their appointment as executive officers to meet the guidelines. All other NEOs are in compliance with the Executive Stock Ownership Policy.

Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policies

The Company considers it inappropriate for directors and officers to engage in certain transactions related to the securities of the Company which could result in their interests no longer being aligned with the interests of other stockholders of the Company. Therefore, its securities trading policy and Anti-Hedging Policy restrict these persons from hedging and pledging the Company’s Common Stock.

The restrictions apply to all of the Company’s directors and executive officers and to immediate family members residing in their households (the “insiders”), to trusts maintained for the principal benefit of an insider, and to other entities (such as partnerships or corporations) which are effectively controlled by an insider.

Hedging

Certain hedging and monetization transactions, such as zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts, allow an investor to lock in much of the value of the investor’s stock holdings and provide protection from decreases in the value of the stock and also limit or eliminate the investor’s ability to profit from an increase in the value of the stock. These transactions can therefore cause an investor’s interests to be misaligned with other stockholders of the Company. Accordingly, the Company prohibits insiders from engaging in any hedging transactions, including short sales and monetization transactions involving options, puts, calls, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds or other derivatives, that are designed to hedge or speculate on any change in the market value of Common Stock. The Company further prohibits any transaction that would directly or indirectly reduce the risk of holding Common Stock.

Pledging

The Company prohibits insiders from pledging or creating a security interest in the Common Stock, including by purchasing Common Stock on margin or holding Common Stock in a margin account.

Clawback Policy

The Company has adopted a clawback policy designed to recoup incentive compensation paid to executive officers based on erroneously prepared financial statements. If an accounting restatement is required because of material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirement, all incentive compensation paid or credited to each current or former executive officer for the restated period (up to three years) will be recalculated based on restated results. To the extent the recalculated incentive compensation is less than the incentive compensation actually paid or credited to such executive officer for that period, the excess amount must be forfeited or returned to the Company. Alternatively, the Company is authorized to offset the forfeitable amount from compensation owed currently or in the future to such executive officer. The Compensation Committee is authorized to interpret this policy and make all determinations necessary for the policy’s operation.

Risk Assessment

The Compensation Committee has determined, based in part on an assessment of the Company’s executive compensation programs by its consultant, that its compensation policies and programs do not give rise to inappropriate risk taking or risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Tax Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Generally, a public company cannot deduct compensation in excess of $1 million paid in any year to a Company’s chief executive officer, chief financial officer and the three other most highly compensated officers. Traditionally, certain “qualified performance-based compensation” was not subject to this $1 million limitation. 2017 tax reform, however, eliminated the “qualified performance-based compensation” exemption. Nevertheless, our Compensation Committee continues to view pay for performance as an important part of our executive compensation policy. The Compensation Committee, after considering the potential impact of the application of this Section 162(m) of the Code, may provide compensation to executive officers that may not be tax deductible if it believes that providing that compensation is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Potential Benefits Related to Change in Control or NEO Termination

The Compensation Committee believes that the long-term interests of stockholders are best served by providing reasonable income protection for NEOs to address potential change in control situations in which they may otherwise be distracted by their potential loss of employment in the event of a successful transaction. The Company has entered into an executive severance agreement with each NEO that provides certain financial benefits in the event of a change in control. These are “double trigger” arrangements –i.e., severance benefits under these arrangements are only triggered by a qualifying event (see section of this proxy statement entitled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control”) that also results in the executive’s termination of employment under certain specified circumstances within 24 months following the event. Likewise, unless the Board decides otherwise, upon a change in control, the vesting of otherwise unvested LTI awards will accelerate only upon the occurrence of a termination of employment in connection with the change in control. The Compensation Committee also determined that, beginning in 2010, the Company would not enter into any agreements to pay an additional cash amount to cover any excise or similar tax under Section 4999 of the IRC (an “excise tax gross-up”) in respect of any of the benefits subject to such excise taxes for any individual newly eligible for a change-in-control agreement. None of the NEOs have an entitlement to an excise tax gross-up. In addition, the Compensation Committee has approved benefit guidelines applicable to the NEOs in the event of the termination of their employment unrelated to a change in control, which are intended to provide reasonable transition assistance. The details of all of the above-described benefits are set forth in the section of this proxy statement entitled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control”.

Pension Benefits

Only Mr. Reilly is eligible for retirement benefits under (i) a qualified defined benefit plan (the “Qualified Plan”) available on a non-discriminatory basis to all U.S.-based employees hired before July 2007 who meet the service criteria; and (ii) a nonqualified defined benefit plan (the “Nonqualified Plan”), which is designed to restore the benefits that would have been earned under the Qualified Plan, absent the limits placed by the Internal Revenue Code. The details of these defined benefit plans are set forth in the 2021 Pension Benefits Table and the narrative that follows it.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

We do not generally provide our executive officers, including the NEOs, with perquisites or other personal benefits, except for financial planning, reserved parking, tax preparation and related gross-up for one NEO that localized to the U.S. and, in the case of the CEO, use of corporate aircraft and a club membership. We do provide benefits to our employees who relocate internationally, including tax preparation and support services. The goal of these benefits is that the employee not be financially advantaged or disadvantaged as a result of relocating to another country and incurring associated taxes. These items are provided because we believe that they support our executive officers, serve a necessary business purpose and enable us to be competitive, and because the related amounts of compensation are not material to the overall executive compensation program. The incremental costs of these items are reported in the Summary Compensation Table.

Compensation and Organization Committee Report

This Compensation and Organization Committee Report shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing made by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, notwithstanding any general statement contained in any such filing incorporating this proxy statement by reference, except to the extent the Company incorporates such Report by specific reference.

The Compensation and Organization Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with the management of the Company. Based on this review and these discussions, we have recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company’s proxy statement.

The preceding report has been furnished by the following members of the Compensation and Organization Committee:

C. Scott Greer, Chairman
K’Lynne Johnson
Dirk A. Kempthorne
Paul J. Norris

(1)	The actual amount of the Annual Incentive paid to the NEO with respect to 2021 is stated in Column (g) of the Summary Compensation Table. The threshold, target and maximum performance signify performance that will yield a BPI rating of 0, 1.0 and 2.0, respectively. In order for any payout to be earned, performance must exceed the threshold level. The percentage of salary awarded for performance falling between the threshold and target achievement levels and the target and maximum achievement levels is determined using straight-line interpolation.
(2)	Consists of performance-based RSUs awarded under our long-term equity incentive compensation plan. Each PRSU is equivalent to one share of our common stock.
(3)	The PRSUs reflected in this row are earned for achieving specified relative TSR percentile ranks during the three-year performance period beginning January 1, 2021 and ending December 31, 2023. See “Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Awards” under Compensation Discussion and Analysis, Long-Term Incentives for a discussion of the terms of these performance-based RSUs.
(4)	The PRSUs reflected in this row are earned for achieving specified three-year cumulative operating cash flow levels during the three-year performance period beginning January 1, 2021 and ending December 31, 2023. See “Cumulative Three-Year Operating Cash-Flow” under Compensation Discussion and Analysis, Long-Term Incentives for a discussion of the terms of these performance-based RSUs.

Each of the awards contained in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table above were granted under the FMC Incentive Compensation and Stock Plan, which is administered by the Compensation Committee. The FMC Incentive Compensation and Stock Plan provides for annual, as well as long-term incentive awards.

OPTION EXERCISES AND STOCK VESTED TABLE 2021

In October 2018, the Company began the separation of its Lithium business with the initial public offering of approximately 16 percent of Livent shares (the “IPO”). FMC subsequently completed the separation with a distribution of its remaining stake in Livent (approximately 84 percent) to FMC stockholders on March 1, 2019 (the “Distribution”).

In connection with the Distribution, outstanding equity awards held by NEOs were adjusted, in each case in order to preserve the intrinsic value of the original awards. Specifically, outstanding RSUs and PRSUs that were granted before 2019 were converted, upon the Distribution, into awards denominated in both FMC and Livent stock. The table below therefore reflects both the underlying FMC stock and Livent stock for those awards that vested during 2021.

Pension Plans

The FMC Salaried and Nonunion Hourly Employees Retirement Plan (the “Qualified Plan”) is a non-contributory defined benefit plan that is intended to meet the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”), as a tax-qualified plan. Messrs. Douglas, Sandifer and Pereira and Dr. Shelton were hired after July 1, 2007 (or in the case of Mr. Pereira, became a U.S. employee after such date) when the Qualified Plan was closed to new employees, and accordingly these NEOs do not participate in the Qualified Plan, but do participate in defined contribution plans of the Company.

Under the Qualified Plan, an employee’s pension benefit is calculated based on credited company service and a final average year earnings (“FAYE”) formula, and the annual benefit payable is subject to a statutory cap of $245,000 for 2022 (“maximum benefit limitation” cap). FAYE is determined using earnings from the highest 60 consecutive months out of the last 120 calendar months that immediately precede the employee’s retirement date. Eligible compensation includes base salary (see Column (c) of the Summary Compensation Table), Annual Incentive pay (see Column (g) of the Summary Compensation Table) and certain other performance payments and is subject to a statutory cap of $305,000 for 2022 (“total earnings” cap). However, stock option gains, other equity awards and long-term performance-based cash are not included in eligible compensation.

Normal retirement age is 65. Benefits at normal retirement are calculated using the formula described below.

The retirement formula is 1.0% of FAYE up to the Social Security covered compensation base plus 1.5% of FAYE in excess of the Social Security covered compensation base times years of credited service (up to 35 years) plus 1.5% of FAYE times years of credited service in excess of 35. The actual benefit amount depends on the form of payment selected by the employee, i.e., individual life annuity, joint and survivor annuity or level income option. All benefits under the Qualified Plan are paid as an annuity. The amounts reflected for the Qualified Plan in the Pension Table are actuarial present values of the single life annuity that would be payable at age 62, which is the earliest age an NEO can retire without a benefit reduction. There is no Social Security offset.

Early retirement is defined as retirement from active service when an employee reaches age 55 with a minimum of ten years credited service. Employees who elect early retirement receive an actuarially reduced pension. This reduction is 4% per year for each year prior to age 62.

The maximum reduction is 28% (62-55 x .04) of the age 65 benefit calculation. The IRC limits the annual benefits that may be paid from a tax-qualified retirement plan and the compensation that may be taken into account in calculating those benefits, as noted above.

The Salaried Employees Equivalent Plan (the “Nonqualified Plan”) is a non-contributory retirement restoration plan that restores the benefits earned under the Qualified Plan formula described above.

This plan represents an unfunded liability and all amounts listed in the table above for this plan are unsecured and therefore not guaranteed to be fully paid in the event of the Company’s insolvency or bankruptcy. Messrs. Douglas, Sandifer and Pereira and Dr. Shelton are participants in defined contribution plans and are not eligible to participate in the Nonqualified Plan, as the plan does not cover employees who are not also covered by the Qualified Plan. These supplemental benefits are calculated using the same formula described above without regard to the IRC limits, less amounts payable under the Qualified Plan. The Nonqualified Plan amounts reflected in the Pension Benefits Table above are paid in a lump sum on the later of attainment of age 55 or six months following the employee’s retirement.

Actuarial assumptions used to determine the present value of the accumulated benefits under the Qualified Plan and Nonqualified Plan as of December 31, 2021 are as follows.

•	Sum of present value of Qualified Plan benefit accrued through December 31, 2021 plus present value of Nonqualified Plan benefit accrued through December 31, 2021
•	Present value of Qualified Plan benefit calculated as amount payable at first unreduced age using December 31, 2021 ASC 715 disclosure assumptions (2.49%, Pri-2012 with generational MP2020 projection) and reflecting discounting of present value back to December 31, 2021 using ASC 715 interest only (2.49%)
•	Present value of Nonqualified Plan benefit calculated as amount payable at first unreduced age using December 31, 2021 ASC 715 lump sum assumptions (1.60%, 417e2021) and reflecting discounting of present value back to December 31, 2021 using ASC 715 interest only (2.74%) for Mr. Reilly
•	Unreduced benefits are first available at age 62 for Mr. Reilly (assuming continued employment with FMC until that time).

(4)	In addition to the Company’s matching contribution of $75,032, Mr. Douglas received nonqualified core contributions of 5% of compensation on his eligible earnings in excess of $290,000, in lieu of his participation in the Salaried Employees’ Equivalent Retirement Plan, which participation is not available to employees hired after July 1, 2007. The amount of the 5% contribution was $93,790.
(5)	In addition to the employer matching contribution of $31,987, Mr. Sandifer received nonqualified core contributions of 5% of compensation on his eligible earnings in excess of $290,000, in lieu of his participation in the Salaried Employees’ Equivalent Retirement Plan, which participation is not available to employees hired after July 1, 2007. The amount of the 5% contribution was $39,984.

The FMC Nonqualified Savings and Investment Plan (the “Nonqualified Savings Plan”) is a voluntary deferred compensation plan available to certain highly compensated employees, including all of the NEOs. The Nonqualified Savings Plan mirrors the FMC Corporation Savings and Investment Plan (the “Qualified Savings Plan”), which is a tax-qualified savings plan under Section 401(k) of the IRC.

Participants in the Qualified Savings Plan are subject to certain contribution and earnings limits set under Sections 402(g) and 401(a) (17) of the IRC. The Nonqualified Savings Plan is used to facilitate the continuation of contributions beyond the limits allowed under the Qualified Savings Plan. Employees may defer 1% to 50% of their base salaries and up to 100% of their annual incentive compensation. In 2021, the Company’s matching contribution under both plans was 80% of the amount deferred up to a maximum of 5% of eligible earnings, i.e., base salary and annual incentive paid in fiscal year 2021. In addition to the Company’s matching contribution, employees hired after July 1, 2007, who are not eligible to participate in the Qualified and Non-Qualified Plans, are entitled to receive employer core contributions under the Qualified and Non-Qualified Savings Plans of 5% of eligible earnings in the aggregate.

Compensation deferred under the Nonqualified Savings Plan is deemed invested by the participant in his or her choice of more than 20 investment choices offered to all participants. All investments, except for the FMC Stock Fund, are mutual funds, and all investments may be exchanged by the participant at any time. Earnings on investments are market earnings. There are no programs or provisions for guaranteed rates of return. Distributions under the Nonqualified Savings Plan must occur or commence at the earlier of separation of service plus six months or at a designated time elected by the participant at the time of deferral. Distributions may be in lump sum or installments as determined by the participant’s distribution election.

The Nonqualified Savings Plan is subject to certain disclosure and procedural requirements of ERISA, but as a “top hat” plan is not subject to the eligibility, vesting, accrual, funding, fiduciary responsibility and similar requirements of ERISA. This plan represents an unfunded liability and all amounts listed in the table above are unsecured and therefore not guaranteed to be fully paid in the event of the Company’s insolvency or bankruptcy.

Pay Ratio Disclosure

We disclose here the FMC CEO to median employee pay ratio as calculated in accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.

We identified our median employee last year by examining the 2020 total cash compensation for all employees, excluding our CEO, who were employed by FMC on December 31, 2020. We included all employees, whether employed on a full-time, part-time, or seasonal basis. We annualized the compensation for any full-time employee who was not employed by FMC for the full year in 2020. For non-U.S. employees, we applied a published currency exchange rate in effect as of December 31, 2020.

The median employee identified and used in last year’s pay ratio disclosure departed from the Company prior to the end of 2021. Accordingly, in accordance with SEC rules, we have substituted another employee whose compensation is substantially similar to the original median employee based on the compensation measure used to select the original median employee.

We calculated annual total 2021 compensation for this median employee using the same methodology we use for our named executive officers, as set forth in the 2021 Summary Compensation Table in this proxy statement. Currency conversion was conducted using a published currency exchange rate in effect as of December 31, 2021. Using this methodology, we have estimated that the median of the annual total compensation of our employees, excluding our CEO, was $54,297.

The annual total compensation for our President and CEO, Mr. Douglas, for 2021 was $8,489,671, as reported in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table in this proxy statement. Therefore, our 2021 CEO to median employee pay ratio is 156:1.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

In the following section, we discuss the consequences that various termination scenarios and a change in control would have on our NEOs’ compensation. When we reference awards “vesting”, it means that the awards are no longer subject to a risk of forfeiture. In some cases, the cash or shares will be delivered to the NEO promptly after a termination of employment. In other cases, the NEO must wait until he or she would otherwise have received a payout had the NEO’s employment not terminated (and such deferred payouts are referred to as being subject to a “Delayed Delivery”).

Retirement

Under the terms of the Company’s long-term equity incentive award agreements (with the exception of special one-time awards, such as Mr. Pereira’s one-time award described on page 45), NEOs are considered retirement eligible at age 65 (“Normal Retirement”) or at age 62, once they have completed at least ten years of service with the Company (“Early Retirement”).

If an NEO terminates employment after achieving Normal Retirement or Early Retirement:

•	All unvested stock options will vest, and remain exercisable for up to five years
•	All unvested restricted stock units will vest, with shares subject to a Delayed Delivery
•	Banked performance-based restricted stock units will vest, with shares subject to a Delayed Delivery
•	Pro rata portion of outstanding performance-based restricted stock units will vest at the end of the applicable performance period based on actual performance results, with shares subject to a Delayed Delivery

However, if an NEO terminates employment, effective after June 30 of the first year of the performance cycle for an outstanding performance-based restricted stock unit award, after the NEO has achieved Normal Retirement or Early Retirement, and has commenced succession planning with our human resources department at least six months prior to the termination (“Approved Retirement”), those units will not be subject to proration. Rather, upon an Approved Retirement, the NEO will continue to earn the units as if he or she had continued to be employed until the end of the full performance period.

Any vesting of the performance-based restricted stock units upon retirement is contingent on the NEO’s execution of a release under the terms of the performance-based restricted stock unit award agreements.

None of the NEOs are currently eligible for Early Retirement or Normal Retirement, and therefore they would not have been eligible for such benefits upon a termination of service on December 31, 2021.

Termination Without Cause

The following disclosure and accompanying table reflect the amount of compensation that would have been payable to each of our NEOs, upon a termination by the Company without Cause on December 31, 2021.

The amounts shown in the table assume that such event was effective as of December 31, 2021, the last day of our fiscal year, and thus include amounts earned through such time. The amounts are calculated using various assumptions and are therefore only estimates of the amounts that could have become payable to our NEOs. The actual amounts to be paid out can only be determined at the time of an actual termination.

Termination Without Cause (Following a Change in Control)

Each NEO is party to an Executive Severance Agreement which provides that if a change in control (as described below) of the Company occurs and, within two years after that change in control, the employment of an NEO is terminated without cause or an NEO resigns his or her employment because his or her duties, location, salary, compensation or benefits were substantially changed or reduced (each a “Change in Control Termination”), then the NEO would be entitled, contingent on the NEO’s execution of a release in favor of the Company, to the following payments and benefits:

•	24 months of base salary (36 months in the case of Messrs. Douglas and Sandifer), payable in a lump sum
•	Two times (three times in the case of Messrs. Douglas and Sandifer) target annual incentive (based on NEO’s highest historical target), payable in a lump sum
•	Prorated bonus for year of termination
•	Outplacement services, with cost capped at 15% of NEO’s base salary
•	Health and welfare benefits continuation for two years (three years in the case of Messrs. Douglas and Sandifer)
•	For Mr. Reilly, credit for two additional age and service years under the Nonqualified Plan

Under the terms of the Company’s equity incentive award agreements, contingent on the NEOs executing a release, upon a Change in Control Termination:

•	All unvested stock options will vest and remain exercisable for up to three months
•	All unvested restricted stock units will vest, and shares will be delivered promptly thereafter
•	Banked performance-based restricted stock units will vest, and shares will be delivered thereafter

FMC CORPORATION - Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement 54

Back to Contents

•	Performance-based restricted stock units whose measurement periods are not yet complete will vest as though target level performance was attained for those measurement periods, and shares will be delivered thereafter

In general, the following are considered to be a change in control: (a) a third party’s acquisition of twenty percent or more of the Company’s Common Stock; (b) a change in the majority of the Board of Directors; (c) completing certain reorganization, merger, or consolidation transactions or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or (d) the complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

As a general rule, no NEO has an entitlement to benefits upon a change in control that is not followed by a termination.

Termination Without Cause (Other than Following a Change in Control)

The Company maintains Executive Severance Guidelines (“Guidelines”) setting forth payments and benefits to NEOs who are terminated without cause in the normal course. However, no NEO has a contractual entitlement to these benefits and the Compensation Committee has the discretion to enhance or reduce the benefits in any specific case. Nevertheless, we have assumed for illustrative purposes in the tabular disclosure that follows that the NEOs would have received the benefits set forth under the Guidelines upon a termination without cause on December 31, 2021. Any NEO receiving payments or benefits pursuant to the Guidelines must sign a non-solicitation, non-compete and confidentiality agreement as a condition to the payment of any benefit under the Guidelines.

The Guidelines provide:

•	12 months of base salary, payable in a lump sum
•	One time target annual incentive
•	Prorated target bonus for year of termination
•	Transition benefits (outplacement assistance and financial/tax planning)
•	Health benefits continuation for one year

Treatment of the NEOs’ equity incentive awards is as follows:

•	Vested options remain exercisable for one year following termination. Unvested options that would have vested within one year following termination become exercisable on regularly scheduled dates, and remain exercisable for one year thereafter
•	Unvested restricted stock units will vest prorata, and shares will be delivered promptly thereafter
•	Banked performance-based restricted stock units will vest, with shares subject to a Delayed Delivery
•	Pro rata portion of outstanding performance-based restricted stock units will vest at the end of the applicable performance period based on actual performance results, with shares subject to a Delayed Delivery

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION

The valuation of equity awards in the below table is based upon our stock price on December 31, 2021. The ultimate value of any equity awards in the event of a termination will depend upon the stock price, (i) in the case of options, on the date of exercise, and (ii) in the case of restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units, on vesting and delivery of the shares.

(4)	The executives are entitled to outplacement services. The outplacement services are capped at 15% of the NEO’s base salary. The actual amounts paid in respect of such services will be determined based upon the outplacement services obtained, if any, by an NEO upon termination. However, the amounts reflected in the table represent the maximum amounts that could be paid by the Company in respect of these services.
(5)	Transition benefits consist of outplacement services up to $20,000.

(9)	The NEO has the right to retain stock options that would have vested on their own terms within one year from the date of termination, with the right to exercise such options until twelve months after they vest, as well as the right to exercise vested options until twelve months after termination.

(10)	All PRSUs will vest as follows: those banked units whose measurement periods have ended will vest based on actual performance; those units whose measurement periods are not yet complete will vest as if the target level performance was attained. The amount shown in the table is the market value of such FMC PRSUs based on the applicable company stock price on December 31, 2021.
(11)	Banked PRSUs will vest. A prorated portion of all PRSUs subject to open performance periods will remain outstanding. The proration is determined based on the time actually worked during the applicable performance period. The payouts of these awards are illustrated above based on actual performance for banked units with completed measurement periods and assuming target levels of performance for those units whose measurement period has not yet been completed. In each case, the amounts actually due will be paid in a lump sum after the end of the normal three-year performance cycle, based on actual TSR performance, or operating cash flow performance, calculated in accordance with the terms of the awards.
(12)	Welfare benefits of health care, life insurance and disability insurance continue for three years, except for Mr. Reilly the benefits continue for two years. The amounts shown are the estimated cost to the Company for such benefits during the period.
(13)	Health care benefits continue for 12 months. The amounts shown are the estimated cost to the Company for such benefits during the period.
(14)	Under the terms of his Executive Severance Agreement with the Company, Mr. Reilly is credited with two additional age and service years under the Nonqualified Plan.

In addition to the amounts set forth in the table, upon termination each NEO would be allowed to retain his or her vested options set forth in Column (b) of the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End Table 2021, subject to the expiration provisions described above. Each NEO would also be paid his or her Annual Incentive for 2021 (see Column (g) of the Summary Compensation Table for the amounts of these awards), and the aggregate benefits accrued by the NEO in the nonqualified defined contribution plan set forth in Column (f) of the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table, payable commencing six months after cessation of employment or in accordance with the NEO’s predetermined distribution elections. Mr. Reilly would be entitled to his accumulated benefit under the Nonqualified Plan, payable in a lump sum at the later of six months after cessation of employment or attainment of age 55. The amounts described in this paragraph differ from the present values reflected in Column (d) of the Pension Benefits Table because, under applicable SEC rules, the Pension Benefits Table values are calculated using different interest rates and without regard to early retirement adjustments otherwise applicable under the plan.

Termination Under Certain Other Circumstances

Death or Disability

In the event of termination upon death or disability, an NEO is eligible for benefits in programs available to US salaried employees generally, as well as a supplemental disability benefit (in the event of disability) and a surviving spouse benefit under the nonqualified deferred compensation plan (in the event of death). The supplemental disability benefit is an insured product intended to provide NEOs with additional disability benefits above the benefit level provided under the Company’s group disability plan. The supplemental plan, in conjunction with the Company’s group plan, will yield up to 70% of an NEO’s annual salary with a maximum monthly benefit of $25,000.

Treatment of equity incentive awards is as follows:

•	All unvested stock options will vest, and remain exercisable for up to five years
•	All unvested restricted stock units will vest, and shares will be delivered promptly thereafter
•	Banked performance-based restricted stock units will vest, with shares subject to a Delayed Delivery
•	Pro rata portion of outstanding performance-based restricted stock units will vest at the end of the applicable performance period based on actual performance results, with shares subject to a Delayed Delivery

The market value for each NEO’s unvested restricted stock units and stock option awards as of year-end 2021 is set forth in the relevant section of Column (b) of the table above. A value for each NEO’s performance-based restricted stock unit awards, with the payout for banked units based on actual performance and the payout for unvested units calculated based on an assumed level of performance at target, and prorated to reflect time employed during the applicable performance period, is set forth in the relevant section of Column (c) of the table above.

Termination For Cause

In the event of a termination of an NEO for cause, all outstanding unvested equity awards would be cancelled. All vested stock option awards would expire immediately.

VII. OTHER MATTERS

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee Report that follows shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing made by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, notwithstanding any general statement contained in any such filing incorporating this proxy statement by reference, except to the extent the Company incorporates such Report by specific reference.

The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter that outlines the duties of the Audit Committee, which include, among other things, reviewing the effectiveness and adequacy of the Company’s internal controls; review and discuss with management significant issues regarding accounting principles, financial reporting, financial statement presentation, and judgments made in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, including any significant changes in the Company’s selection or application of accounting principles; reviewing the annual report, proxy statement and periodic SEC filings (such as the Company’s reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q); and ensuring that the Company’s financial reports fairly represent its operations. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is also directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of KPMG, the Company’s current independent external audit firm retained to audit the Company’s financial statements. A further description of the duties and powers of the Audit Committee can be found in “Information about the Board of Directors and Corporate Governance—Committees and Independence of Directors—Audit Committee” section of this proxy statement.

During the 2021 fiscal year, the Audit Committee was comprised of Mr. Cordeiro (Chair), Mr. Davidson, Mr. Pallash, and Mr. Volpe. The Board of Directors has determined that both Messrs. Cordeiro and Davidson meet the SEC requirements for an “audit committee financial expert” and all current members of the Committee are “financially literate” as required by the NYSE. The Board has also determined that no current Audit Committee member sits on the audit committee of more than three public companies.

During the past year, the Audit Committee met six times, including virtual meetings, to discuss quarterly results and other matters. In carrying out its duties, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements with management and KPMG as well as discussed with KPMG the matters required to be discussed pursuant to the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 1301, “Communications with Audit Committees” and any additional applicable SEC requirements.

Further, the Audit Committee has discussed various matters with KPMG related to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, including all critical accounting policies and practices used, all alternative treatments for material items that have been discussed with Company management, and all other material written communications between KPMG and management. The Audit Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from KPMG as required by The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and has confirmed with KPMG its independence.

In reliance upon the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The preceding report has been furnished by the following members of the Audit Committee:

Eduardo E. Cordeiro, Chairman
Carol Anthony (John) Davidson
Robert C. Pallash
Vincent R. Volpe, Jr.
