EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on Form
10-K/A
(this “Amendment”) amends our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, originally filed on February 28, 2022 (the “Original Filing”). We are filing this Amendment to include the information required by Part III and not included in the Original Filing, as we do not intend to file a definitive proxy statement for an annual meeting of shareholders within 120 days of the end of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. In addition, in connection with the filing of this Amendment and pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we are including with this Amendment new certifications of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Item 15 of Part IV has also been amended to reflect the filing of these new certifications. Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. The Original Filing continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events which occurred at a date subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing.
As used in this Amendment, unless the context requires otherwise, the “Company,” “Viatris,” “our,” and “we” mean Viatris Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, “NASDAQ” means The NASDAQ Global Select Stock Market, and “U.S. GAAP” means accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S.”).
On November 16, 2020, Viatris, formerly known as Upjohn Inc., Mylan N.V. (“Mylan”) and Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”) consummated the combination of Mylan with Pfizer’s Upjohn business (the “Upjohn Business”) through a Reverse Morris Trust transaction. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of July 29, 2019, as amended from time to time, among Viatris, Mylan, Pfizer and certain of their affiliates (the “Business Combination Agreement”) and the Separation and Distribution Agreement between Viatris and Pfizer, dated as of July 29, 2019, as amended from time to time, (1) Pfizer contributed the Upjohn Business to Viatris, so that the Upjohn Business was separated from the remainder of Pfizer’s businesses (the “Separation”), (2) following the Separation, Pfizer distributed, on a pro rata basis (based on the number of shares of Pfizer common stock held by holders of Pfizer common stock as of the record date of November 13, 2020 (the “Record Date”)), all of the shares of Viatris common stock held by Pfizer to Pfizer stockholders as of the Record Date (the “Distribution”), and (3) immediately following the Distribution, Viatris and Mylan engaged in a strategic business combination transaction (the “Combination”). As a result of the Combination, Viatris holds the combined Upjohn Business and Mylan business. In accordance with
ASC 805, Business Combinations
, Mylan is considered the accounting acquirer of the Upjohn Business and all historical financial information of the Company prior to November 16, 2020 represents Mylan’s historical results and the Company’s thereafter.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Amendment contains “forward-looking statements”. These statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements about the pending transaction between Viatris and Biocon Biologics Limited (“Biocon Biologics”), a majority owned subsidiary of Biocon Limited, pursuant to which Viatris will contribute its biosimilar products and programs to Biocon Biologics in exchange for cash consideration and a convertible preferred equity interest in Biocon Biologics (“Biocon Biologics Transaction”), statements about the Combination, the benefits and synergies of the Combination or our global restructuring program, future opportunities for the Company and its products and any other statements regarding the Company’s future operations, financial or operating results, capital allocation, dividend policy and payments, debt ratio and covenants, anticipated business levels, future earnings, planned activities, anticipated growth, market opportunities, strategies, competitions, commitments, confidence in future results, efforts to create, enhance or otherwise unlock the value of our unique global platform, and other expectations and targets for future periods. Forward-looking statements may often be identified by the use

of words such as “will”, “may”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “project”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “plan”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “potential”, “pipeline”, “intend”, “continue”, “target”, “seek” and variations of these words or comparable words. Because forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties, actual future results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to:
 
 
 
the integration of Mylan and the Upjohn Business or the implementation of the Company’s global restructuring program being more difficult, time consuming or costly than expected;
 
 
 
the pending Biocon Biologics Transaction may not achieve its intended benefits;
 
 
 
the possibility that the Company may be unable to achieve expected benefits, synergies and operating efficiencies in connection with the Combination or its global restructuring program within the expected timeframe or at all;
 
 
 
the possibility that the Company may be unable to successfully integrate Mylan and the Upjohn Business or implement its global restructuring program;
 
 
 
operational or financial difficulties or losses associated with the Company’s reliance on agreements with Pfizer in connection with the Combination, including with respect to transition services;
 
 
 
the possibility that the Company may be unable to achieve all intended benefits of its strategic initiatives;
 
 
 
the potential impact of public health outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics, including the ongoing challenges and uncertainties posed by the
COVID-19
pandemic;
 
 
 
the Company’s failure to achieve expected or targeted future financial and operating performance and results;
 
 
 
actions and decisions of healthcare and pharmaceutical regulators;
 
 
 
changes in relevant laws and regulations, including but not limited to changes in tax, healthcare and pharmaceutical laws and regulations globally (including the impact of potential tax reform in the U.S.);
 
 
 
the ability to attract and retain key personnel;
 
 
 
the Company’s liquidity, capital resources and ability to obtain financing;
 
 
 
any regulatory, legal or other impediments to the Company’s ability to bring new products to market, including but not limited to
“at-risk
launches”;
 
 
 
success of clinical trials and the Company’s or its partners’ ability to execute on new product opportunities and develop, manufacture and commercialize products;
 
 
 
any changes in or difficulties with the Company’s manufacturing facilities, including with respect to inspections, remediation and restructuring activities, supply chain or inventory or the ability to meet anticipated demand;
 
 
 
the scope, timing and outcome of any ongoing legal proceedings, including government inquiries or investigations, and the impact of any such proceedings on the Company;
 
 
 
any significant breach of data security or data privacy or disruptions to our information technology systems;
 
 
 
risks associated with having significant operations globally;
 
 
 
the ability to protect intellectual property and preserve intellectual property rights;
 
 
 
changes in third-party relationships;

 
 
the effect of any changes in the Company’s or its partners’ customer and supplier relationships and customer purchasing patterns, including customer loss and business disruption being greater than expected following the Combination;
 
 
 
the impacts of competition, including decreases in sales or revenues as a result of the loss of market exclusivity for certain products;
 
 
 
changes in the economic and financial conditions of the Company or its partners;
 
 
 
uncertainties regarding future demand, pricing and reimbursement for the Company’s products;
 
 
 
uncertainties and matters beyond the control of management, including but not limited to general political and economic conditions, inflation rates and global exchange rates; and
 
 
 
inherent uncertainties involved in the estimates and judgments used in the preparation of financial statements, and the providing of estimates of financial measures, in accordance with U.S. GAAP and related standards or on an adjusted basis.
For more detailed information on the risks and uncertainties associated with Viatris, see the risks described in Part I, Item 1A of the Original Filing and our other filings with the SEC.
You can access Viatris’ filings with the SEC through the SEC website at www.sec.gov or through our website and Viatris strongly encourages you to do so. Viatris routinely posts information that may be important to investors on our website at investor.viatris.com, and we use this website address as a means of disclosing material information to the public in a broad,
non-exclusionary
manner for purposes of the SEC’s Regulation Fair Disclosure (Reg FD). The contents of our website are not incorporated by reference in this Amendment and shall not be deemed “filed” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Viatris undertakes no obligation to update any statements herein for revisions or changes after the filing date of this Amendment other than as required by law.
Non-GAAP
Financial Measures
This Amendment includes the presentation and discussion of certain financial information that differs from what is reported under U.S. GAAP. These
non-GAAP
financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and gross leverage ratio, leverage or leverage ratio, are presented in order to supplement investors’ and other readers’ understanding and assessment of Viatris’ financial performance. Management uses these measures internally for forecasting, budgeting, measuring its operating performance, and incentive-based awards. Primarily due to acquisitions and other significant events which may impact comparability of our periodic operating results, we believe that an evaluation of our ongoing operations (and comparisons of our current operations with historical and future operations) would be difficult if the disclosure of our financial results was limited to financial measures prepared only in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that
non-GAAP
financial measures are useful supplemental information for our investors and when considered together with our U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our operations. The financial performance of the Company is measured by senior management, in part, using these adjusted metrics, along with other performance metrics. In addition, the Company believes that including EBITDA and supplemental adjustments applied in presenting adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors to demonstrate the Company’s ability to comply with financial debt covenants and assess the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness. The Company also believes that adjusted EBITDA better focuses management on the Company’s underlying operational results and true business performance and, is used, in part, for management’s incentive compensation. Appendix A to this Amendment contains reconciliations of such
non-GAAP
financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. Investors and other readers are encouraged to review the related

U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations of the
non-GAAP
measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures set forth in Appendix A, and investors and other readers should consider
non-GAAP
measures only as supplements to, not as substitutes for or as superior measures to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Each of the Directors has served on the Board since November 16, 2020, the closing date of the Combination. Additional background information for each Director is set forth immediately below.
Robert J. Coury
.
Mr. Coury has served as Viatris’ Executive Chairman since the closing of the Combination on November 16, 2020. Mr. Coury leads the Viatris Board; oversees the strategic direction of the Company with the Board and in collaboration with executive management; advises the management team as they execute on the Company’s strategy to drive value creation and to otherwise unlock value; oversees management’s execution of the business strategies approved by the Board; oversees executive talent management; and ensures robust engagement with shareholders and other key stakeholders, among other responsibilities.
Mr. Coury most recently served as Executive Chairman of Mylan. During his tenure with Mylan, Mr. Coury’s strategic vision led to the creation of a strong foundation for Viatris. Under Mr. Coury’s leadership, Mylan grew from the third-largest generics pharmaceutical company in the United States to one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, earning spots in both the S&P 500 and, prior to Mylan’s reincorporation outside of the United States in 2015, the Fortune 500.
Mr. Coury was first elected to Mylan’s Board of Directors (the “Mylan Board”) in February 2002, having served since 1995 as a strategic advisor to the company. He became the Vice Chairman shortly after his election and served as Chief Executive Officer from September 2002 until January 2012. He then served as Executive Chairman from 2012 until he became
non-executive
Chairman in June 2016. As Executive Chairman between 2012 and 2016, Mr. Coury’s primary responsibilities were similar to those noted above. As
non-executive
Chairman, Mr. Coury continued to provide the overall strategic leadership for Mylan and was directly involved in shareholder engagement and material transactions involving Mylan, as well as in other matters considered significant by Mylan’s Board. The Mylan Board reappointed Mr. Coury as Executive Chairman in April 2020. In that role, Mr. Coury’s responsibilities were similar to his current responsibilities, and he provided leadership and strategic direction in navigating the unique challenges posed to Mylan and the pharmaceutical industry by the
COVID-19
pandemic and oversight of work related to the Combination.
Mr. Coury is the founder and president of the Robert J. Coury Family Foundation, which is a private foundation formed to help support his philanthropic efforts and his mission of giving back. He has served as a member of the University of Southern California President’s Leadership Council since 2014. Mr. Coury also serves on the Goldman Sachs Healthcare Advisory Council.
Mr. Coury’s qualifications to serve on the Viatris Board include, among others, his unique strategic vision, leadership, extensive knowledge of the industry and the Company and its management and businesses around the world, demonstrated outstanding business acumen, proven ability to proactively anticipate and respond to opportunities and challenges, and strong business judgment.

Viatris’ Board Structure
As set forth in the Bylaws, the Company has a majority vote standard for director elections in the event of an uncontested election and a plurality standard in the event of a contested election. The Bylaws also provide that if a nominee for Director who is an incumbent is not elected and no successor has been elected at such meeting, the Director shall promptly tender his or her irrevocable resignation to the Board, such resignation to be effective upon acceptance by the Board.
In connection with the Combination, Mylan and Pfizer agreed that the Viatris Board would be classified for three years with respect to the time for which Directors hold office (designated as Class I, Class II and Class III). The first term of office of the Class I Directors expired as of the date of the 2021 annual meeting of shareholders (the “2021 Annual Meeting”). At the 2021 Annual Meeting, each Class I Director was
re-elected
to serve as a Director until the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of shareholders. The first term of office of

Table of Contents
the Class II Directors expires as of the date of the 2022 annual meeting of shareholders and the first term of office of the Class III Directors expires as of the date of the 2023 annual meeting of shareholders. At the 2022 annual meeting of shareholders, the Class II Directors will be submitted for election for a term of office to expire at the 2023 annual meeting of shareholders.

Neil Dimick, Michael Goettler, Ian Read, and Pauline van der Meer Mohr are in Class I; W. Don Cornwell, Harry A. Korman, Rajiv Malik, and Richard A. Mark are in Class II; and Robert J. Coury, JoEllen Lyons Dillon, Melina Higgins, James M. Kilts, and Mark W. Parrish are in Class III. In addition, the parties to the Combination determined prior to closing that the Viatris Board would consist of 13 members as of the closing of the Combination: Robert J. Coury, Michael Goettler, three persons designated by Pfizer (W. Don Cornwell, James M. Kilts and Ian Read) and eight persons designated by Mylan (the other current Directors of the Company).
The members of the Board collectively have expertise in developing and overseeing strategies in the context of a complex and rapidly changing environment, as well as a deep understanding of the management team and culture of the Company, our global platforms, the healthcare systems in which we operate, and the opportunities and challenges facing the Company around the world. Our Board members have experience with branded, generic, and biosimilar pharmaceuticals businesses; corporate governance, compliance, and enterprise risk management; information security; corporate social responsibility (“CSR”); corporate strategy and complex international M&A; financing; human capital management, including but not limited to diversity, equity and inclusion; commercial and operational management; director and executive compensation; R&D; pharmaceutical manufacturing and quality; the regulatory environments in which we operate around the world; and business integration, among many other areas.

Succession Planning
 
Viatris’ Board, with the support of the Governance and Nominating Committee, seeks to identify a diverse talent pool of qualified candidates for consideration as part of the Board’s refreshment and succession planning. The Board also seeks to combine the skills and experience of its long-standing Board members with fresh perspectives, insights, skills, and experiences of new members in support of its belief that it is important for Directors to represent diverse viewpoints and, further, that the personal backgrounds and qualifications of the Directors, considered as a group, should provide a composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities. The Board is committed to fostering a culture of integrity, inclusion, dignity and mutual respect.
Viatris’ Board and Governance and Nominating Committee evaluate Board composition with respect to, among other matters, director independence, skills, experience, expertise, diversity, and other factors to ensure that the Board remains well-qualified to provide effective oversight of the Company and management. The Board and the Governance and Nominating Committee consider Viatris’ strategy, performance, operations, relevant industry and market conditions, and current and anticipated needs in terms of particular areas of experience and expertise (e.g., risk oversight, industry, science), among many other factors, to inform these refreshment practices and decisions. As we continue to evaluate Board composition, we also work to establish a pool of qualified potential candidates to support our continued refreshment efforts.
Reflecting the critical importance of senior leadership to the success of the Company and its overall business strategy, our Corporate Governance Principles provide that the Board will work with senior management to ensure that effective plans are in place for management succession. The Board’s goal is to have a long-term and continuous program for effective senior leadership and succession as well as to have contingency plans in place for emergencies such as departure, death, or disability. The Board discusses succession planning regularly at scheduled meetings, including in executive session, as appropriate. These succession planning activities have been and may continue to be supported by independent third-party consultants.
Setting and Overseeing Strategy
 
The Board actively discusses and determines the Company’s strategies intended to unlock value for the Company and its shareholders and ensure the durability, sustainability, and stability of the business.

Table of Contents
The Board’s ongoing strategic planning and review under the leadership of the Executive Chairman, supports a diversified and differentiated portfolio that is not reliant on a single market or product, supporting patients’ access to medicine across geographies and therapeutic areas and resulting in stable and durable cash flows despite evolving, challenging, and often unpredictable, market conditions. In 2021, the Board undertook a comprehensive strategic review of the Company, which culminated in the February 2022 announcement of several strategic priorities, including the Biocon Biologics Transaction and the items outlined below. The Company also delivered on several other key priorities as outlined in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Selected Highlights”.
In February 2022, the Company identified three strategic priorities:
Unlock Trapped Value and Simplify the Business
Through the ongoing comprehensive strategic review described above, the Board has identified opportunities that it believes could generate significant proceeds, including through the divestment of assets that are
non-core
to the future of Viatris. Upon closing, the Biocon Biologics Transaction will enable the Company to unlock value while also creating what we expect to be a unique vertically integrated global biosimilars leader that is well-positioned to compete in today’s environment. The Company expects to enter into additional transactions that will similarly maximize the value of other assets. With the continued guidance of the Board, Viatris expects to continue to evolve its operating model, removing inefficiency and complexity within its portfolio and simplifying the organization and reducing execution risk.
Build a More Durable, Higher-Margin Portfolio
Viatris believes that the financial flexibility achieved from unlocking value through the divestment of other select assets will enable the Company to build a more durable higher-margin portfolio characterized by additional investments in 505(b)(2)s and new chemical entities, globally defined key therapeutic areas (ophthalmology, gastrointestinal, and dermatology), and enhanced commercial and scientific capabilities.
Enhance Financial Flexibility
Viatris believes its unlocking of value will further enhance the Company’s financial flexibility by enabling the Company to accelerate deleveraging, to return capital to shareholders through the potential for share repurchases and further dividend growth and to evaluate incremental development investments in the future along with engaging in targeted business development activities.
The Board is committed to overseeing continuing efforts to further unlock the value of our unique global platform and return capital to shareholders (see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Selected Highlights”) and to maintaining an ongoing dialogue with shareholders regarding a broad range of topics, including, among others, our differentiated strategy and business model; the Global Healthcare Gateway
®
(in which the Company enters into strategic alliances with partners to develop, manufacture, market and/or distribute certain products, and/or certain components of our products, in various markets); delevering strategies; governance; compensation; promoting sustainability; and further enhancing our efforts to advance our CSR performance.
Risk Oversight
 
Viatris operates in a complex and rapidly changing environment that involves many potential risks. In addition to general market, industry, R&D, supply chain, political, and economic risks, the Company faces potential risks related to, among others, the integration of Mylan and Upjohn; our ongoing global

Table of Contents
restructuring initiatives; the pending Biocon Biologics Transaction; information technology and cybersecurity; data privacy; financial controls and reporting; manufacturing and quality; legal, regulatory and compliance requirements and developments; finance; the global nature of our operations; human capital management and retention; environmental and social responsibility; and product portfolio and commercialization, among others. As a company committed to operating ethically and with integrity, we proactively seek to manage and, where possible, mitigate risks to help ensure compliance with applicable rules and regulations, maintain integrity and continuity in our operations and business, including in support of achieving strategic priorities, long-term financial and operational performance, protect our assets (financial, intellectual property, and information, among others), and enhance shareholder and other stakeholder value. Risk management is an enterprise-wide objective subject to oversight by the Board and its committees.
It is the responsibility of Viatris’ management and employees to identify material risks to our business and to implement and administer robust risk management and mitigation processes and programs, while also maintaining reasonable flexibility in how we operate. To further embed risk management and compliance into our culture, Viatris has a robust global corporate compliance program, implements comprehensive policies and procedures, trains employees on how to implement and comply with them, and maintains an extensive program of oversight and audit to help ensure compliance and appropriate enterprise risk management.
The Viatris Board, in turn, directly or through its committees, oversees the implementation of risk management and mitigation processes. The Board and its committees rigorously review with management the risk management program at least quarterly, as well as during the Board’s annual budget review and approval process. Each of our committees has full access to officers and employees of the Company, and our Board and committees also meet without members of management present.
The Board also has approved a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Code of Ethics for Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Controller, and other related policies to help manage and mitigate risk globally.
Board Committees’ Role in Risk Oversight
 
   
The Audit Committee
focuses on risks relating to financial and disclosure controls, SEC reporting matters, and oversight of Viatris’ internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm. The Committee oversees, among other matters, the Company’s processes and procedures relating to risk assessment and risk management relating to financial, disclosure, and SEC reporting-related matters, and reviews with management the quality and adequacy of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Viatris’ internal audit function reports to and meets with the Committee at least quarterly to discuss potential risk or control issues, and the Committee regularly discusses the performance of the internal audit function, and the adequacy of resources available to this function. The Committee also meets quarterly with Viatris’ independent registered public accounting firm in executive session.
 
   
The Compensation Committee
focuses on the design and administration of compensation-related plans and programs, and considers whether and how such plans and programs balance risk-taking and rewards, and align with shareholder interests. The Committee receives reports, on at least a quarterly basis, from management and outside advisors regarding compensation-related matters, and considers risk management in determining compensation structure. The Committee also reviews reports from management regarding pay equity, human capital management, and succession planning.
 
   
The Compliance Committee
is responsible for overseeing the Chief Compliance Officer’s implementation of Viatris’ Corporate Compliance Program. The Chief Compliance Officer reports to the Committee and
 
18

Table of Contents
 
the CEO, and the Committee is responsible for appointing and, as applicable, replacing, this individual, and discusses the Chief Compliance Officer’s performance, responsibilities, plans and resources with the CEO. The Committee also makes recommendations to the Board with respect to the Corporate Compliance Program, the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and significant related global policies, and is responsible for reviewing reports of significant actual or alleged violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, corporate policies and procedures, and applicable laws and regulations. The Committee also discusses reports regarding
non-financial
compliance risk and risks associated with privacy, antitrust and competition, anti-corruption, and third-party risks, and reviews significant global compliance-related policies, including policies related to pricing and/or commercialization of Company products and services.
 
   
The Finance Committee
is responsible for reviewing and, as appropriate, providing recommendations to the Viatris Board with respect to significant strategies and policies of the Company relating to its capital structure and deployment and/or allocation of capital, material financial matters and transactions, and the risks related to such activities.
 
   
The Governance and Nominating Committee
is responsible for identifying, assisting in recruiting, and nominating qualified individuals to become members of the Viatris Board, recommending committee assignments, overseeing the Board’s annual evaluation of the independence of Directors, and evaluating and assisting the Board in considering potential risks related to corporate governance. The Committee is also responsible for overseeing the annual self-evaluation of the Board and its committees and Director orientation and continuing education programs.
 
   
The Risk Oversight Committee
assists the Board in its oversight of Viatris’ enterprise risk management framework. The Committee reviews the enterprise risk framework, infrastructure, and controls implemented by management to help identify, assess, manage, and monitor the Company’s material risks; reviews management’s exercise of its responsibility to identify, assess, and manage material risks not allocated to the Board or another committee, including, for example, data security programs and cybersecurity and information technology; oversees management’s activities with respect to CSR; and reviews the Company’s efforts to foster a culture of risk-adjusted decision-making without constraining reasonable risk-taking and innovation. The Committee also meets with the Chairs of the other committees at least two times a year to discuss enterprise risk and related matters.
The Board’s Role in CSR Oversight
Viatris’ Board of Directors oversees management’s efforts with respect to CSR through its Risk Oversight Committee. The CSR function operates as a center of excellence within the Viatris Corporate Affairs leadership team. The Head of CSR Development and Operations drives the strategic and operational development of CSR across the Company together with key partners. The Head of Corporate Affairs and the Head of CSR Development and Operations communicate quarterly with the Viatris Board on CSR matters through the Risk Oversight Committee.
Board Education
The Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for overseeing and annually reviewing Director orientation and continuing education programs, including educational seminars, presentations, conferences and other Director education programs and opportunities presented by external and internal resources, on matters that may relate to, among other topics: compensation, governance, board process, risk oversight, audit and accounting, regulatory and other current issues. Directors also may elect to attend additional third-party educational events. The Company reimburses Directors for costs associated with any related seminars and conferences, including travel expenses.

ITEM 11. Executive Compensation
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) describes the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”) for 2021.
Our Performance-Based Approach to 2021 Compensation
 
 
In early 2021, Viatris announced its 2021 financial guidance, which included adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow metrics
1
. These publicly reported metrics directly tie to strategic Company priorities for the first three years following the closing of the Combination, including rebalancing the business, generating strong and growing cash flows, and rapidly
de-levering.
In addition, the Company is focused on obtaining synergies to become more flexible and efficient while continuing to launch new products. For 2021, Viatris reported U.S. GAAP net loss of $1.3 billion, U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities of $3.0 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $6.4 billion, and free cash flow of $2.6 billion.
Compensation in 2021 represents the first year of Viatris’ new compensation program. As described in more detail below, our 2021 program consists of base salary, performance-based annual incentive awards, and performance-based long-term incentive awards subject to financial metrics and a relative TSR modifier. There is strong alignment of pay and performance in our program, with approximately 70% of total target compensation delivered in the form of long-term equity and approximately 60% of total target compensation subject to performance conditions.
 
  
The Compensation Committee directly linked 2021 performance metrics to our stated strategy and financial goals. The table below also describes how our performance metrics support the Company’s strategic goals.

Viatris was not providing forward-looking guidance for U.S. GAAP net earnings (loss) or a quantitative reconciliation of its 2021 adjusted EBITDA guidance and provided a quantitative reconciliation of its 2021 free cash flow guidance. See
“Non-GAAP
Financial Measures” and Appendix A for additional information.

Table of Contents
   
Performance Metrics
 
Rationale For Use
Adjusted EBITDA*
 
Measures the Company’s profitability and motivates the organization to focus on commercial execution and driving new product revenue, maintaining efficiency of our operations, capturing synergies, and disciplined expense management
Free Cash Flow*
 
Creates organizational emphasis and focus on cash through improved cash flow conversion, optimized working capital, and overall cash generation which can increase the return to shareholders
Global Regulatory Submissions
 
Emphasizes the importance of developing a robust pipeline of molecules that Viatris could manufacture and sell over subsequent years. A robust product pipeline can help Viatris move its products up the value chain and also supports sustainability while serving Viatris’ mission of providing access to high quality, affordable medications. In addition, we view this metric as a stepping stone to implementing ESG sustainability metrics in the future.
Leverage*
 
Reinforces commitment to investment grade rating, overall risk reduction, reducing interest expense, and delivering on financial commitments
Relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”)
 
A relative market performance metric to modify final payout percentages for performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) and further align with shareholders
*
Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and leverage are calculated from Viatris’ audited financial statements in the manner described in Appendix A.
Pay-For-Performance
Philosophy: 2021 Incentive Compensation Summary
Short-term incentive compensation
comprised approximately 17% of 2021 NEO target total compensation. In 2021, our management team’s operational execution resulted in short-term incentive payouts above target. Drivers of our 2021 short-term incentive results included:
 
   
Above target adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow for short-term incentive compensation purposes, driven by the focus and efforts of the Company’s management, success of the Company’s cash optimization efforts, and synergy capture of approximately $500 million in 2021. The Company’s 2021 publicly reported results for adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow also exceeded the upper end of the initial guidance ranges provided in February 2021 and were within the upper ends of the updated guidance ranges provided in November 2021. For more information on and the differences between how adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are calculated for purposes of the Company’s 2021 performance metrics and public reporting purposes, see “Elements of 2021 Compensation – 2021 Annual Incentive Compensation Program – Annual Incentive Compensation Payouts for 2021” on pages 28 to 29 and “Elements of 2021 Compensation – 2021 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Programs – 2021 Three-Year PRSU Performance Metrics” on pages 29 to 30.
 
21

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

Financial Performance
Since launch, Viatris has delivered four quarters of consistent, solid performance. In 2021, Viatris:
 
   
Met or exceeded its initial financial guidance announced in February 2021 for Total Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow
2
.
 
   
Achieved over $500 million in cost synergies.
 
   
Paid down $2.1 billion of debt.
Science and Regulatory Achievements
The Company’s science and regulatory teams, comprised of more than 3,000 scientists and medical professionals working across 12 development centers globally, led Viatris to some groundbreaking accomplishments, including:
 
   
The first U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval for the first interchangeable biosimilar Semglee
®
injections for the treatment of diabetes.
 
   
The first FDA approval for a generic to Restasis
®
, a treatment for Chronic Dry Eye Syndrome.
 
   
The first
FDA-approved
generic version of Symbicort
®
called Breyna
.
 
   
In 2021, Viatris was the first to bring to market the much-anticipated 10 mg, dispersible, scored, strawberry-flavored, pediatric formulation of dolutegravir. This was made possible through a partnership between Unitaid, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, ViiV Healthcare Limited and Viatris, which resulted in the fastest regulatory approval under the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief of a generic pediatric HIV drug to date. The approval allows the treatment to be offered outside of the U.S.

Viatris was also recognized externally by the following:
 
   
Fortune
as one of the top 5 companies on its “Companies that Change the World List”.

Strategic Planning to Further Unlock Shareholder Value
In 2021, the Company significantly advanced its strategic plan, which is focused on unlocking shareholder value. Through these efforts, the Company expects to significantly enhance its financial flexibility, achieve its financial commitments, return capital to shareholders, and invest in the future. These efforts culminated in several announcements in February 2022:
 
   
Announcement of the Biocon Biologics Transaction, which we believe will create a uniquely positioned, vertically integrated global biosimilars leader. Upon closing, the transaction is expected to provide Viatris with immediate, enhanced financial flexibility, and accelerate its financial commitments.
 
   
Announcement of an increase of 9% in the Company’s dividend to be paid in March 2022 over the per share dividend amounts paid in the prior year.
 
   
Authorization of a share repurchase program of up to $1 billion. The Company expects share buybacks to be an important benchmark as it makes future capital allocation decisions and decides how best to invest in its future.
 
   
The Company recently announced that it has entered its first Global Healthcare Gateway
®
transaction focused on ophthalmology, acquiring an exclusive license for Pimecrolimus ophthalmic ointment for the treatment of Blepharitis, a common type of eye irritation. Blepharitis affects approximately 6.5 million patients in the United States alone—where there is no product specifically indicated for chronic Blepharitis. We expect that this product will contribute to the Company’s ophthalmology franchise while we continue to search for an anchor asset in this area.
Executive Compensation Philosophy
 
The Compensation Committee’s and Board’s compensation philosophy for 2021 reflects the Company’s focus on a performance-based, shareholder-value-focused business model and is intended to help ensure that Viatris continues to attract and retain high-performing executives given the highly competitive market for executive talent. The compensation program has the following key objectives, among others:
 
   
Attract, Motivate, and Retain Highly-Skilled Executives.
In order to attract and retain the leaders needed to drive execution of our ambitious goals, we provided market competitive compensation with an emphasis on performance-based, long-term incentives. We designed our compensation program to help ensure that the Company, shareholders, and other stakeholders continue to benefit from the talents of our leadership team and global workforce, while also recruiting new talent on an
on-going
basis in a highly competitive market for talent.
 
   
Align with Shareholder Interests.
We aligned executive compensation with shareholder interests by linking pay to the Company’s stated strategic priorities, long-term performance, and share price appreciation, including through the use of a relative TSR modifier for PRSUs in our long-term incentive plan and robust share ownership requirements (See “Viatris 2021 Share Ownership Requirements” on page 32). We believe this linkage helps drive long-term performance and encourages decision making to foster share price appreciation.
 
   
Drive Company Performance.
As described in more detail on pages 20 to 22, our 2021 compensation program was designed with metrics carefully linked to our business strategies and financial goals. If the Company does not meet its short and long-term objectives, executive pay is meaningfully impacted. See the chart on page 21 for more information about how our metrics tie to our strategy.
Additional details regarding our 2021 compensation program are on pages 25 to 30.

Long-term incentive metrics:
Long-term incentive awards for 2021 were predominantly performance-based, with 60% of each NEO’s award in the form of PRSUs and 40% in the form of RSUs. The 2021 PRSU grants include free cash flow

and leverage metrics

, as well as a relative market performance metric (relative TSR), which is used as a shareholder-aligned modifier to determine the final payout percentage. Each metric is measured over a three-year performance period. These metrics align with and further our strategies of
de-levering,
returning capital to shareholders, and delivering shareholder returns, among others.
 
In 2022, we further increased the percentage of performance-based awards
so that 65% of NEO equity-based awards granted in 2022 were PRSUs. We also continued to use a relative TSR modifier to align compensation with performance relative to market peer group.

Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and leverage metrics are calculated from Viatris’ audited financial statements in the manner described in Appendix A.
In setting performance goals, the Compensation Committee considered a broad variety of data, including industry forecasts, internal projections, demographic data, advice from outside advisors, benchmarking data, and the Company’s annual operating plan and strategies. The Compensation Committee also considered the variability and cyclicality of the business, noting that targets may increase or decrease from year to year due to factors impacting the business, such as market conditions, the regulatory environment, timing of product approvals, and both immediate and long-term strategic priorities of the business. Although the targets may vary from
year-to-year,
the Compensation Committee is committed to maintaining high levels of rigor and motivational impact on the executive team and aligning with the Company’s long-

term strategy for sustainable business development and its goal of creating value for shareholders. Consistent with our philosophy of driving long-term company performance, the Compensation Committee, with the advice of its independent compensation consultant, will annually consider potential alternative performance metrics that link to our strategy and align with shareholder interests in long-term value creation.
 
The 2021 compensation year reflects the first full year of Viatris’ simplified
compensation program and reflects comments that we received from shareholders during extensive engagement.

2021 Peer Group
The peer group is used as one of several reference points for determining executive compensation and includes Viatris’ business competitors and companies that Viatris competes with for executive talent. Although the competitive market for our executives is one factor the Compensation Committee considers when making compensation decisions, the Committee does not target the compensation of NEOs within a specific percentile of any set of peer companies and considers peer group and industry data along with many other factors when determining compensation.
Below is the peer group selected by the Compensation Committee, with the advice of the Committee’s independent compensation consultant.

Elements of 2021 Compensation
 
Base Salaries
The Compensation Committee considers a variety of factors in deciding base salary, including, among others: individual performance, responsibilities, and expected future performance; Company performance; management structure; marketplace practices (including external benchmarks prepared by an independent compensation consultant); internal pay equity considerations; competitive recruitment for outstanding talent; and the executive’s experience, tenure, and leadership. The Compensation Committee also considers, among other factors, what the marketplace would require in terms of the costs to hire a similarly qualified and experienced individual externally.
The Compensation Committee, with the advice of an independent compensation consultant, established the following 2021 base salaries for the NEOs commensurate with their new roles with Viatris.

2021 Annual Incentive Compensation Program
Annual Incentive Compensation Awards for 2021
Viatris’ annual incentive compensation consists of performance-based annual cash awards that are subject to achievement of metrics that were identified by the Board and Compensation Committee as critical to the successful execution of Viatris’ business strategy and aligned with the continued creation of shareholder value. The metrics are specifically related to the actions and leadership of our executive team and measure their ability to generate shareholder returns, both in the short- and long-term. The Compensation Committee approved annual incentive award grants and corresponding performance targets in the first quarter of 2021.
The Compensation Committee identified the following metrics as important measures of Company performance relating to its stated strategy:
 
   
Adjusted EBITDA (40% Weighting):
Measures the Company’s profitability and motivates executives to focus on both
top-line
growth as well as efficient operations.
 
   
Free Cash Flow (40% Weighting):
 Reinforces effective use of Viatris’ capital to drive cash flow generation.
 
   
Global Regulatory Submissions (20% Weighting):
Emphasizes the importance of developing a robust pipeline of molecules that Viatris could manufacture and market over subsequent years. A robust
 
27

Table of Contents
 
product pipeline supports the sustainability of the business model while serving Viatris’ mission of providing access to high quality, affordable medications. In addition, this metric serves as a stepping stone to implementing ESG sustainability metrics in the future.
As noted above, the setting of annual incentive targets reflected certain strategic initiatives for 2021. For example, in 2021, management made incremental investments in the business and divested certain products. These investments and actions were intended to support long-term value creation for shareholders and other stakeholders by, among other things, furthering Viatris’ efforts to move its portfolio and pipeline up the value chain, investing organically in key brands, and executing on Viatris’ commercial assets around the globe. In addition, the Company continued to make investments in global integration following the successful closing of the Combination.
The Compensation Committee recognized that these investments would be expected to reduce adjusted EBITDA in 2021 while serving long-term strategic, shareholder, and other interests. In addition, the number of global regulatory submissions was expected to be lower in 2021 as compared to 2020 due in part to a continued emphasis on more challenging specialty and complex generic products and Viatris’ focus on submission of products expected to generate greater economic profit.
Individual annual incentive payout targets were established for each NEO, expressed as a percentage of base salary, as noted in the table below. Actual payouts could range from 0% to 200% of each NEO’s annual incentive target based on achievement of performance goals.

2021 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Programs
Long-Term Incentive Compensation Grants for 2021
The Compensation Committee believes that the value of long-term incentives should be directly related to the performance of Viatris’ ordinary shares over several years, as well as other measures associated with the growth, success, and long-term sustainability of Viatris. The Compensation Committee approved annual long-term incentive (“LTI”) award grants in the first quarter of 2021.
Long-term incentive awards for 2021 were predominantly performance-based, with 60% of each NEO’s award in the form of PRSUs and 40% in the form of RSUs. RSUs vest ratably over a three-year period following the grant date, and PRSUs vest as described below. This mix of LTI awards provides NEOs with a combination of incentives and aligns them with the interests of shareholders.
In 2022, we further increased the percentage of performance-based awards so that 65% of NEO equity-based awards were granted as PRSUs.
Each NEO’s 2021 LTI award had a targeted value at grant equal to a percentage of the NEO’s base salary. In setting each NEO’s LTI targeted value, the Compensation Committee considered a variety of factors, including, among others, peer group compensation and expectations regarding individual roles and responsibilities.
For 2021, the Compensation Committee approved the following annual LTI award values for our NEOs:

2021 Three-Year PRSU Performance Metrics
The 2021 grant of PRSUs was subject to Free Cash Flow and Gross Leverage Ratio metrics weighted at 60% and 40%, respectively, and one relative market performance metric (i.e., relative TSR), which is used as a modifier to determine the final payout percentage, as described below. The Free Cash Flow metric
 
29

Table of Contents
incentivizes effective use of Viatris’ capital to drive cash flow generation, and the Gross Leverage Ratio performance metric further reinforces prudent balance sheet management. Each of these incentivized behaviors is closely aligned with our efforts to drive a durable and sustainable business. In addition, the relative TSR modifier impacts executive pay based on Viatris’ performance as compared to industry competitors.
As shown in the table below, payouts under the 2021 PRSUs will be determined in two steps. First, in 2024, the outcome of the Free Cash Flow and Gross Leverage Ratio metrics will be assessed, resulting in an initial payout percentage of 50% for threshold performance (with 0% payout for below threshold performance) up to 150% for maximum performance, with linear interpolation for achievement between threshold and maximum. Second, the relative TSR metric will be applied as a modifier to the initial payout percentage, decreasing it by 30%, leaving it unaffected, or increasing it by 30%, in order to calculate the final payout percentage.

Free Cash Flow is derived from Viatris’ audited financial statements in the same manner as Viatris’ publicly reported free cash flow, except that the calculation for the 2021 PRSUs further adjusts the publicly reported measure for unplanned litigation gains or losses equal to or greater than $25 million in the aggregate, if any, for certain material asset sales, if any, and for proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment. Viatris’ free cash flow as reported for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 is reconciled to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure in Appendix A.
**
Gross Leverage Ratio is derived from Viatris’ audited financial statements in the manner described in Appendix A.
***
Relative TSR is calculated by comparing the difference between Viatris’
30-day
trailing average closing ordinary share price at the day before the beginning of the performance period and day before the end of the performance period plus any dividends paid during the performance period against the same metric for each company in our peer group.
Payouts with respect to PRSUs granted in 2021 will be determined in early 2024 following the conclusion of the three-year performance cycle.
 
Although we believe that Viatris stock is significantly undervalued and this modifier is
measured on a three-year time frame, based on the relevant stock prices on the close of business April 25, 2022, any payouts of PRSUs would be automatically reduced by 30%.
Governance and Other Considerations Impacting Viatris Compensation Decisions
The Compensation Committee and Board proactively consider external governance-related developments and trends relating to executive compensation. In setting or approving executive compensation, the Compensation Committee and Board may consider, in addition to any corporate goals and objectives applicable to an individual executive, some or all of the following: recognition of individual performance and contributions; pay for performance; alignment with long-term shareholder interests; advancement of Company strategic goals; maintenance of an appropriate level of fixed and
at-risk
compensation; remaining competitive with companies within the Company’s peer group; competition for executive talent; internal pay equity; leadership and mentoring skills and contributions; talent management; contributions to establishment or execution of corporate strategy; retention; compliance with applicable law and the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Company policy; and/or any other factors determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee to be in the interests of the Company.

Table of Contents
The Compensation Committee and Board believe that each company must independently assess which market practices and trends are appropriate for the company at any particular time in the company’s history and remain fully committed to maintaining a strong compensation governance philosophy that is aligned with shareholder interests and best practices. See also page 24.
Commitment to Responsible, Shareholder-Aligned Compensation Governance Practices
The following table summarizes certain specific compensation-related governance practices adopted by the Compensation Committee and Board with respect to 2021 compensation.

Limited Perquisites
We provide certain limited perquisites to our NEOs, including the following:
 
   
Each NEO receives a car allowance or the use of a leased vehicle and payment of certain ancillary expenses. The NEOs are responsible for paying any taxes incurred relating to this perquisite.
 
   
Our NEOs take an extraordinarily active approach to overseeing and managing Viatris’ global operations, which necessitates and will continue to necessitate a significant amount of U.S. domestic and international travel time due to our diverse business centers, manufacturing and other facilities, and many client and vendor locations around the world. Viatris provides management with access to corporate aircraft to assist in the management of Viatris’ global platform by providing a more efficient and secure traveling environment, including where sensitive business issues may be discussed or reviewed, as well as maximum flexibility to our executives in the conduct of business. For reasons of business efficiency and continued security-related concerns (including personal security, especially given the global nature of Viatris’ business, as well as privacy of business information and communications), we also may from
time-to-time
require certain executives to use corporate aircraft for business and personal purposes.
 
   
For reasons of continued security-related concerns, we may from
time-to-time
provide certain NEOs with personal security.
401(k) Restoration Plan
The 401(k) Restoration Plan (the “Restoration Plan”) permits employees (including NEOs) who earn compensation in excess of the limits imposed by Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) to (i) defer a portion of base salary and bonus compensation, (ii) for employees (other than the NEOs with a Retirement Benefit Agreement) be credited with a Company matching contribution in respect of deferrals under the Restoration Plan, and (iii) be credited with Company
non-elective
contributions (to the extent made by Viatris), in each case, to the extent that participants otherwise would be able to defer or be credited with such amounts, as applicable, under Viatris’ 401(k) plan if not for the limits on contributions and deferrals imposed by the Code. Company matching contributions immediately vest and Company
non-elective
contributions are subject to an initial three-year vesting period. Upon a change in control (as defined in the Restoration Plan), a participant will become 100% vested in any unvested portion of his or her
non-elective
contributions. Distributions of such participant’s vested account balance will be made in a lump sum within 60 days following a participant’s separation from service (or such later date as may be required by Section 409A of the Code).
Viatris 2021 Share Ownership Requirements
Viatris maintains robust share ownership requirements for our NEOs. The requirement is expressed as a multiple of base salary and shown in the table below.
 
Position
  
Ownership
Requirement
 
Executive Chairman
     6x  
Chief Executive Officer
     6x  
President
     4x  
Other NEOs
     3x

Table of Contents
In addition to the NEOs, the Viatris share ownership policy covers the most senior employees at Viatris to promote an ownership culture and further align the interests of those leaders with those of shareholders. Each covered employee has five years from the date they became subject to the policy to achieve the minimum ownership requirement. Common stock actually owned by the covered employee (including shares of common stock held by the covered employee in the Restoration Plan), as well as restricted shares and unvested RSUs and PRSUs (including corresponding dividend equivalent units (“DEUs”)) count toward compliance with these requirements.
Clawback Policy
The Board has approved a clawback policy relating to incentive compensation programs. The policy provides that Viatris may take action to recoup annual incentive compensation and equity-based incentive compensation gains resulting from specified misconduct that causes Viatris to materially restate its financial statements.
The policy also provides that Viatris may take action to recoup some or all bonus and equity incentive compensation in the event of executive misconduct involving material violations of law or Viatris policy as well as failure to manage or monitor another individual who committed such misconduct, and that the Board or a designated Board committee will disclose the circumstances of any recoupment relating to such misconduct if required by law or regulation or if it determines that disclosure is in the best interests of Viatris and its shareholders.
In addition, Viatris has a number of other policies in effect that govern our executive team’s behavior and that set out clear ethical expectations. Those policies, including our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, empower Viatris to take a full range of disciplinary responses for any violations, and the Board and the Compensation Committee are not otherwise constrained from seeking to clawback from or deny compensation to any member of the executive team in response to any breach of duties or ethics. The Board considers additional updates to the clawback policy from
time-to-time.
In addition, to the extent that the SEC adopts rules for clawback policies that require changes to our policy, we will respond accordingly.
Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy
Viatris has a securities trading policy that prohibits directors and Section 16 Officers and their respective designees from trading in hedging instruments or otherwise engaging in any transaction that limits or eliminates, or is designed to limit or eliminate, economic risks associated with the ownership of our securities. Hedging instruments are defined as any prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, exchange funds, insurance contracts, short sales, options, puts, calls or other instruments that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, movements in the market value of our securities. For purposes of this policy, our securities include shares and options to purchase shares, and any other type of securities that we may issue, including but not limited to, preferred shares, notes, debentures, and warrants issued by Viatris or any parent, subsidiary, or subsidiary of any parent of Viatris, as well as any derivative financial instruments pertaining to such securities, whether or not issued by us, such as options and forward contracts.
The policy also prohibits Directors and Section 16 Officers and their respective designees from entering into any transaction that involves the holding of our securities in a margin account (other than the “cashless exercise” of stock options) or the pledging of our securities as collateral for loans. The Viatris Compensation Committee may approve exceptions to the prohibition on the use of margin accounts or pledging or
 
33

Table of Contents
securities if, among other factors, the Director or Section 16 Officer demonstrates, in advance, that he or she has the continuing financial capacity to repay any underlying loan or potential margin call without resorting to our securities held in such margin account or our pledged securities and is not in possession of any material information about the Company that has not been made widely available to the investing public.
Consideration of Risk in Company Compensation Policies
The Compensation Committee has considered risk management in determining compensation policies and believes that our programs are designed appropriately to encourage outstanding, consistent, sustainable business performance over extended periods of time. Management and the Compensation Committee have considered and discussed the risks inherent in our business and the design of our compensation plans, policies and programs that are intended to drive the achievement of our long-term business objectives while avoiding excessive short-term risk-taking. In addition, we utilize a mix of objective performance measures, so that undue emphasis is not placed on one particular measure, and we employ different types of compensation to provide value over the short-, medium- and long-term. These performance measures are reevaluated annually in light of the evolving risk environment facing our business. When making compensation decisions, we also consider qualitative factors to avoid the consequences that an overly formulaic approach may have on excessive risk-taking by management. At least annually, the Compensation Committee also receives and discusses a report from Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC (“Meridian”), its independent compensation consultant, on risk management in connection with the Company’s compensation program.
The Compensation Committee believes that our compensation policies and practices do not encourage excessive risk and are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Role of the Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee is comprised solely of independent Directors and oversees the design and implementation of our executive compensation programs. The Compensation Committee reviews and evaluates the performance of our NEOs and determines their compensation and objectives, or, in the case of our Executive Chairman and CEO, recommends compensation and objectives to the independent,
non-executive
members of the Board. The Compensation Committee monitors compensation trends and developments periodically and undertakes a comprehensive assessment of our compensation programs at least annually. In fulfilling these responsibilities, the Compensation Committee utilizes the support of independent compensation consulting firms, independent outside counsel, and an internal executive compensation team.
The Compensation Committee has retained Meridian to provide advice and information regarding the design and implementation of Viatris’ executive compensation programs. Meridian also provided information to the Compensation Committee regarding regulatory and other technical developments that may be relevant to our executive compensation programs. In addition, Meridian provided the Compensation Committee with competitive market information, analyses and trends on executive base salary, annual incentives, long-term incentives, benefits and perquisites.
The Compensation Committee also receives advice from outside counsel including, but not limited to, Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP.
The Compensation Committee performs an annual review of the independence of its outside advisors, consistent with NASDAQ requirements and the Compensation Committee charter.

Tax Deduction Cap on Executive Compensation
Section 162(m) of the Code restricts the deductibility for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the compensation paid to the CEO, CFO, each of the other NEOs who was an executive officer at the end of the applicable fiscal year, and certain other executives to the extent that such compensation for such executive exceeds $1 million. As a result, except to the extent provided in limited transition relief, compensation over $1 million paid to any NEO is no longer deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code. The Board and the Compensation Committee reserve the right to provide compensation to our executives that is not deductible, including, but not limited to, when necessary to comply with contractual commitments, or to maintain the flexibility needed to attract talent, promote retention, or recognize and reward desired performance.
Compensation Committee Report
We have reviewed and discussed the CD&A with management. Based on such review and discussions, we recommended to the Board that the CD&A be included in this Amendment.

(1)
Represents the base salary actually paid to the NEO in 2021 and 2020. The 2020 amount includes the salary paid by Mylan or Upjohn, as applicable, prior to the closing of the Combination and by Viatris after the closing of the Combination. For Mr. Coury, the amount includes the cash retainer received while serving as Mylan’s
non-executive
Chairman from January 1, 2020 through April 15, 2020, his base salary for serving as Mylan’s Executive Chairman from April 15, 2020 to the closing of the Combination, and his base salary for serving as Viatris’ Executive Chairman for the remainder of 2020.
(2)
In connection with the Combination in 2020, Messrs. Goettler and Narula each became entitled to receive a $1 million transaction-related payment previously granted to them by Pfizer. In connection with the Combination, Mr. Malik and Mr. Mauro received cash awards equal to $2.5 million and $1 million, respectively, in recognition of their significant efforts in connection with integration planning matters related to the Combination in addition to their customary responsibilities. In connection with the Combination, Mr. Coury received a
one-time
cash recognition award of $10 million (which recognized and rewarded Mr. Coury for, among other things: the fact that Mr. Coury assumed an executive role with Mylan in April 2020 but did not receive an annual equity grant at that time (which, had it been awarded, would have been valued at approximately $10.8 million); his strategic leadership of Mylan; the unexpected and significantly increased efforts expended by Mr. Coury on company matters since April 2020, including during the
COVID-19
pandemic; his significant leadership in the analysis and negotiation relating to the Combination and integration planning matters with respect to the Combination; and his expected leadership, direction and efforts for the combined company so that shareholders can realize the significant opportunity and benefits that are expected from the Combination).
(3)
Represents the grant date fair value of the long-term incentive awards granted to the NEO in 2021 and 2020, as applicable. The grant date fair value of PRSUs for 2021 is based on the target value and is as follows:

Table of Contents
 
Messrs. Goettler ($5,460,009), Narula ($1,680,004), Malik ($4,320,010), Mauro ($1,920,004) and Coury ($6,480,001). If the maximum achievement of performance goals had been assumed, the grant date fair value of the PRSUs for 2021 would have been as follows: Messrs. Goettler ($10,647,022), Narula ($3,276,011), Malik ($8,424,026), Mauro ($3,744,009) and Coury ($12,636,004). With respect to Messrs. Goettler and Narula’s 2020 award, the grant date fair value represents cash-based awards granted by Pfizer in 2020 prior to the Combination, equal to $2,400,000 and $425,000, respectively. In connection with the Combination, these and certain other Pfizer awards were canceled and forfeited and Messrs. Goettler and Narula were granted Viatris RSUs to replace such forfeited Pfizer awards. With respect to Messrs. Malik and Mauro’s 2020 award, the grant date fair value represents RSUs and PRSUs granted by Mylan in 2020 prior to the Combination. In the case of PRSUs, value is based on the target value as follows: Mr. Malik ($3,450,010) and Mr. Mauro ($1,600,014). In connection with the Combination, PRSUs were converted into an award of Viatris RSUs on a
one-for-one
basis assuming target level performance and RSUs were also converted into Viatris RSUs on a
one-for-one
basis. With respect to Mr. Coury, the grant date fair value of stock awards for 2020 represents the 1.6 million PRSUs granted by Viatris in connection with the Combination pursuant to his Value Creation Award, based on the Monte Carlo value equal to $12,451,936. For information regarding assumptions used in determining the expense of such awards, please refer to Note 13 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Original Filing.
(4)
Represents the grant date fair value of the option awards granted by Mylan in 2020 prior to the Combination. In connection with the Combination, these option awards were converted into options to purchase shares of Viatris common stock on a
one-for-one
basis.
(5)
Represents amounts paid under the Company’s annual short-term incentive plan. For a discussion of this plan, see “2021 Annual Incentive Compensation Program” on page 27 of this Form
10-K/A.
(6)
Represents the aggregate change in present value of Mr. Malik’s accumulated benefit under Mr. Malik’s Retirement Benefit Agreement. Mr. Malik’s Retirement Benefit Agreement was frozen as of the Combination and Mr. Malik no longer accrues additional benefits under the agreement. In computing this amount, we used the same assumptions that were used to determine the expense amounts recognized in our 2020 financial statements. In 2020, the impact of a decrease in the applicable discount rates led to an increase in the present value of accumulated benefits of $336,290 for Mr. Malik. For further information concerning Mr. Malik’s Retirement Benefit Agreement, see the Pension Benefits for 2021 Table on page 42. Messrs. Goettler and Narula participated in pension plans of Pfizer prior to the Combination, and Pfizer retained all liabilities with respect to such plans.

(a)
In the case of Messrs. Goettler, Narula, Mauro, and Coury, these costs represent a vehicle allowance and ancillary expenses associated with such vehicle. In the case of Mr. Malik, this number represents the cost of a vehicle (based on lease value), insurance and ancillary expenses associated with such vehicle.
(b)
Amounts disclosed represent the actual aggregate incremental costs associated with the personal use of corporate aircraft. Incremental costs include annual average hourly fuel and maintenance costs, landing and parking fees, customs and handling charges, passenger catering and ground transportation, crew travel expenses, away from home hanger fees, and other trip-related variable costs. Because the aircrafts are used primarily for business travel, incremental costs exclude fixed costs that do not change based on usage, such as pilots’ salaries, aircraft purchase or lease costs, home-base hangar costs, and certain maintenance fees. Aggregate incremental cost as so determined with respect to personal deadhead flights is allocable to the NEO. In certain instances where there are both business and personal passengers, the incremental costs per hour are
pro-rated.
(c)
For 2021, amounts disclosed include for Messrs. Goettler and Narula the value of certain expatriate, repatriation and relocation benefits of $227,481 and $336,440, respectively. For 2020, amounts for Messrs. Goettler and Narula, include the value of certain expatriate, repatriation and relocation benefits of $43,863 and $631,856, respectively, paid by Pfizer and/or Viatris in 2020. Repatriation for Messrs. Goettler and Narula occurred on September 30, 2020. For 2021, the amount disclosed for Mr. Malik represents immigration expenses of $26,036. For 2020, the amount disclosed reflects expatriate benefits for Mr. Malik that represent income taxes paid by Mylan in connection with Mr. Malik’s expatriate assignment to the United States from India effective January 1, 2012. Specifically, Mr. Malik was responsible for, and continued to pay taxes equal to those he would have been obligated to pay had he maintained his principal work location and residence in India rather than having transferred, at Mylan’s request, to the United States, while Mylan generally paid for all additional taxes, including Mr. Malik’s tax obligations on the imputed income associated with Mylan’s payment of taxes on his behalf. This amount for Mr. Malik is net of Mylan’s estimated tax refunds for each year. The estimated refund was $274,822 for 2020. Mr. Malik is no longer eligible for these legacy tax equalization benefits.

These are estimates only and actual amounts payable upon such terminations may be different and will only be determined upon the actual occurrence of any such event.

CEO Pay Ratio
 
 
Pursuant to Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our global employee population (legacy Mylan and legacy Upjohn) and the annual total compensation of our CEO, Michael Goettler. The pay ratio included in this information is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Regulation S-K Item 402(u). The ratio of Mr. Goettler’s annual total compensation for 2021, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table on page 36 in this Amendment, to the median employee annual total compensation determined on the same basis was 398:1. For 2021, the annual total compensation along with the value of employer provided benefits of our median employee was $36,865 and $14,685,594 for the CEO.
To identify our median employee, we prepared a list of Viatris employees throughout the world as of December 31, 2021. We chose base salary as our consistently applied compensation measure. We then calculated an annual base salary for each employee, annualizing pay for those employees who commenced work during 2021 and for any employees who were on leave for a portion of 2021. For hourly employees, we used a reasonable estimate of hours worked to determine annual base pay. Our median employee is located in India.
Pay ratios may not be comparable because of different employee populations, geographic distribution of employees, compensation practices and companies may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates, and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.
Non-Employee Director Compensation for 2021
 
 
The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation earned by Viatris’ Non-Employee Directors for 2021. Directors who are employees of Viatris (Messrs. Coury, Goettler, and Malik) receive no compensation for their Board service. A discussion of the elements of Non-Employee Director compensation follows the table.

The amounts represent charitable contributions made in 2021 under our matching gift program.
Viatris’ compensation philosophy for Non-Employee Directors is designed to attract and retain Directors with the experience necessary to represent the Company and oversee executive management. On an annual basis, the Compensation Committee considers market data for our Compensation Peer Group and input received from the Compensation Committee’s consultant regarding market practices for Director compensation. Any changes to Director compensation are approved by the Compensation Committee and the independent Directors.
Director Compensation Structure for 2022
In March 2022, the Compensation Committee and the independent Directors approved the following Non-Employee Director compensation structure effective as of January 2022:
 
Element of Compensation
  
Amount
 
Board Member Retainer
     $150,000  
Committee Chair Fee
     $25,000  
Executive Committee Member Fee
     $25,000  
Lead Independent Director Compensation
     $50,000  
Annual Equity Grant Value (RSUs)
     $200,000  
Non-Employee Directors are also eligible to receive matching charitable contributions under the Company’s Director Matching Gift Program. Under this program, to the extent Non-Employee Directors choose to make charitable contributions to qualifying charitable organizations, the Company matches those contributions dollar-for-dollar up to an annual limit of $20,000 per person per calendar year. Legacy Mylan directors also are eligible to receive tax-equalization payments for incremental tax liabilities, if any, incurred as a result of attendance at Mylan board meetings held outside the U.S. prior to the Combination.
Non-Employee Director Share Ownership Guidelines
Effective January 1, 2021, the Board adopted revised share ownership guidelines for Non-Employee Directors, requiring each to hold common stock valued at five times the amount of their annual cash retainer, excluding any cash retainer paid for committee service. Each Non-Employee Director has five years from his or her start date to attain compliance. These guidelines further demonstrate alignment of Viatris Directors’ interests with shareholders’ interests for the duration of their Board service. Common stock actually owned by the Non-Employee Director as well as restricted shares and unvested RSUs (including corresponding DEUs) count toward compliance with these requirements.

ITEM 13.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Based on a review of any transactions between Viatris and its Directors and executive officers, their immediate family members, and their affiliated entities, Viatris has determined that since the beginning of 2021, it was or is to be a participant in the following transactions in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any of Viatris’ Directors, executive officers, or greater than five percent shareholders, or any of their immediate family members, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest:
The Coury Firm LLC (together with its predecessors, “TCF”) provides certain services to Viatris and its subsidiaries pursuant to a contract between Mylan Inc., a subsidiary of Viatris, and TCF. The principals of TCF are brothers and a son of Robert J. Coury, Executive Chairman, and TCF is beneficially owned by brothers and trusts on behalf of brothers and children of Mr. Coury. TCF is in the business of providing strategic corporate benefits advice and services, among others. Since approximately 1995, TCF and, in the past, other affiliated entities of TCF, served as the broker in connection with several of Mylan’s and, since the closing of the Combination, Viatris’ employee benefit programs. Commencing on September 1, 2020, the parties extended their agreement through December 31, 2023 on substantially the same terms as their prior arrangement, which included a fixed base fee of $37,500 per month to be paid by Mylan to TCF, corresponding to the term of agreements negotiated with certain benefit plan carriers and capping payments over that time period. However, where required by law, TCF will continue to receive commissions directly from certain other benefit plan carriers, and in 2021 and early 2022, received payments totaling approximately $285,000 in commissions for these services directly from the insurance carriers (including payments for 2020 business paid in 2021).
Angela Campbell, Mr. Campbell’s spouse and herself a related person of Viatris, held roles of increasing responsibility at Mylan Inc. since June 2007 and is currently serving as Head of Operations Strategic Initiatives at Viatris. Ms. Campbell earned approximately $340,000 in compensation from Viatris in 2021 (consisting of base salary, an annual short-term incentive bonus, amounts realized from the exercise or vesting of long-term incentive awards and miscellaneous other benefits) and her compensation in 2022 is expected to be approximately $360,000 (consisting of base salary, an annual short-term incentive bonus, amounts realized from the exercise or vesting of long-term incentive awards and miscellaneous other benefits).
Mr. Malik is an executive officer of the Company and was party to an employment agreement with Mylan Inc., which contained standard indemnification provisions, and is currently party to a standard indemnification agreement with the Company. The Company has made payments to counsel to Mr. Malik of approximately $1.2 million from January 1, 2021 through April 25, 2022 for services provided to Mr. Malik in connection with certain previously disclosed drug pricing matters. The Company anticipates making additional payments of approximately $1.2 million in 2022 for ongoing services to be provided to Mr. Malik in connection with such matters. Viatris anticipates additional payment, repayment or advancement of these and other expenses during the pendency of these matters and anticipates that it will make payments for any such claims.
Viatris has a written related party transactions policy that establishes guidelines for reviewing and approving, as appropriate, transactions involving any Director, nominee for Director, Section 16 Officer, person known by the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of the Company’s voting securities, or person known by the Company to be an immediate family member of any such person in which (1) the amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $100,000; (2) Viatris or an affiliate of Viatris is or will be a participant; and (3) any related party has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. The Board also annually reviews certain relationships and related party transactions as part of its assessment of each Director’s independence.

Director Independence
Viatris’ Board has determined that Mr. Cornwell, Ms. Dillon, Mr. Dimick, Ms. Higgins, Mr. Kilts, Mr. Korman, Mr. Mark, Mr. Parrish, and Ms. van der Meer Mohr are independent Directors under the applicable NASDAQ listing rules. In making these determinations, the Board considered, with respect to Mr. Cornwell’s independence, that Mr. Cornwell’s son is a partner of PJT Partners (“PJT”), which served as a financial advisor to Mylan in connection with the Combination; PJT also served as Viatris’ financial advisor in connection with the Biocon Biologics Transaction. Mr. Cornwell’s son was not involved in PJT’s work related to either the Combination or the Biocon Biologics Transaction. With respect to Mr. Korman’s independence, the Board considered (a) Mr. Korman’s past employment by Mylan Inc. from 1996 through July 2014 and his prior consulting services for Mylan Inc. from July 2014 to July 1, 2015 and (b) that Mr. Korman’s son had a paid internship with a Mylan subsidiary during the summer of 2019. With respect to Mr. Mark, the Board considered his prior service as a partner at Deloitte, Viatris’ independent registered public accounting firm. The Board determined that any such past arrangements, transactions or relationships would not interfere with the exercise of independent judgment by Mr. Cornwell, Mr. Korman or Mr. Mark in carrying out his respective responsibilities as a Director of Viatris.
Messrs. Coury, Goettler, Malik, and Read are not independent Directors under applicable NASDAQ listing rules.
 
ITEM 14.
Principal Accounting Fees and Services
In connection with the Combination, on November 19, 2020, the Audit Committee dismissed KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and appointed Deloitte to serve in that role going forward. Mylan is the accounting acquirer in the Combination, and Deloitte had served as Mylan’s independent registered public accounting firm since 1976. As a result, the fees described below for 2020 relate to fees paid by Mylan to Deloitte prior to the Combination and fees paid by Viatris to Deloitte following the closing of the Combination on November 16, 2020. Deloitte has audited Viatris’ financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. No relationships exist with Deloitte other than the usual relationship between such a firm and its client. Details about the nature of the services provided by, and fees Viatris and Mylan paid to, Deloitte and affiliated firms for such services during 2021 and 2020 are set forth below.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy
The Audit Committee has a policy regarding pre-approval of audit, audit-related, tax and other services that the independent registered public accounting firm may perform for Viatris. Under the policy, the Committee must review and pre-approve on an individual basis any requests for audit, audit-related, tax and other services not covered by certain services pre-approved by the Committee up to certain amounts. All services performed by Deloitte during 2021 and 2020 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee or, with respect to periods prior to November 16, 2020, the Mylan Audit Committee in accordance with their respective pre-approval policies.

2021 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance
The Company was not providing forward-looking guidance for U.S. GAAP net earnings (loss) or a quantitative reconciliation of its 2021 adjusted EBITDA guidance to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, U.S. GAAP net loss, because it was unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items, including integration and acquisition-related expenses, restructuring expenses, asset impairments, litigation settlements and other contingencies, such as changes to contingent consideration and certain other gains or losses, as well as related income tax accounting, because certain of these items had not occurred, were out of the Company’s control and/or could not be reasonably predicted without unreasonable effort. These items were uncertain, depended on various factors, and could have had a material impact on U.S. GAAP reported results for the guidance period.
