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, 2017, originally filed on March 1, 2018 (the “Original Filing”). We are filing this Amendment to include the information required by Part III and not included in the Original Filing, as we do not intend to file a definitive proxy statement for an annual general meeting of shareholders within 120 days of the end of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. In addition, in connection with the filing of this Amendment and pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we are including with this Amendment new certifications of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Accordingly, Item 15 of Part IV has also been amended to reflect the filing of these new certifications.

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

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

Forward-Looking Statements

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


Table of Contents

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

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Amendment includes the presentation and discussion of certain financial information that differs from what is reported under U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures, including, but not limited to, adjusted diluted earnings per share (“adjusted EPS”), adjusted free cash flow and return on invested capital (“ROIC”), are presented in order to supplement investors’ and other readers’ understanding and assessment of Mylan’s financial performance. Management uses these measures internally for forecasting, budgeting, measuring its operating performance and incentive-based awards. In addition, primarily due to acquisitions, Mylan believes that an evaluation of its ongoing operations (and comparisons of its current operations with historical and future operations) would be difficult if the disclosure of its financial results were 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 the adjusted metrics included herein, along with other performance metrics. Management’s annual incentive compensation is derived, in part, based on the adjusted EPS metric and the adjusted free cash flow metric. Appendix A to this Amendment contains reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. Investors and other readers are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures set forth in Appendix A, and investors and other readers should consider non-GAAP measures only as supplements to, not as substitutes for or as superior measures to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Mr. Gallagher previously served as president of Patomak Global Partners, a financial services consulting firm, from January 2016 to March 2017. From November 2011 to October 2015, he served as a commissioner of the SEC.

Each executive officer listed above, other than Messrs. Parks and Gallagher, was an executive officer of Mylan Inc. on February 27, 2015, the date on which Mylan N.V. completed the EPD Transaction, and became an officer of Mylan N.V. on such date in connection with the EPD Transaction.

Pursuant to the Rules for the Board of Directors of Mylan N.V., the Board appoints the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and may appoint, or delegate authority to the Chairman or the CEO to appoint, a President, a Chief Financial Officer, a Chief Legal Officer, a Secretary and any other Mylan officers as the Board, the Chairman or

the CEO may desire. Each officer appointed by Mylan’s Board, the Chairman or the CEO, holds office until his or her successor shall have been appointed, or until his or her death, resignation or removal. Officers of Mylan who are appointed by the Board can be removed by it, and the Board may delegate to the Chairman or the CEO the right to remove any officer the Chairman or the CEO has appointed (though not any officer directly appointed by the Board).

Mylan’s Board

Mylan’s Board currently consists of 11 directors, each of whom is either an executive director or a non-executive director pursuant to applicable Dutch law. On April 29, 2018, the Board voted to increase the size of the Board to 12 directors, effective after the 2018 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “2018 AGM”). Ms. Cameron will retire from the Board effective June 29, 2018, and therefore has not been nominated for re-election. On February 22, 2018, the Board nominated Pauline van der Meer Mohr and on April 29, 2018, the Board nominated Harry A. Korman, each to be elected by shareholders at the 2018 AGM to serve as a non-executive director for a term ending immediately after the next annual general meeting held after his or her respective election.

Executive directors are responsible for the daily management and operation of the Company, and non-executive directors are responsible for overseeing and monitoring the performance of the executive directors.

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

Heather Bresch. Ms. Bresch has served as Mylan’s CEO since January 1, 2012. Throughout her 26-year career with Mylan, Ms. Bresch has held roles of increasing responsibility in more than 15 functional areas. Prior to becoming CEO, Ms. Bresch served as the Company’s President, where she was responsible for its day-to-day operations. Before that, she served as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Integration Officer, leading the successful integration of two international acquisitions – Matrix Laboratories and Merck KGaA’s generics business — which more than doubled Mylan’s size and transformed it from a purely U.S. company to a global one.

As CEO, Ms. Bresch has been leading the next chapter of Mylan’s growth and performance, pursuing a strategy that already has produced a sustainable organization that is making great strides in its mission of delivering better health for a better world by providing 7 billion people access to high quality medicine. In continuing to execute on this strategy, Ms. Bresch is focused on further diversifying the Company in terms of products, markets and channels, a process proven to expand access and generate durable cash flows that can be reinvested to further differentiate Mylan and position it to support the transformation of outdated healthcare systems.

To achieve Mylan’s goals, Ms. Bresch emphasizes a collaborative company culture focused on leading, learning, teaching and performing to inspire innovation and help set new standards in healthcare. She also remains a vocal champion of initiatives and policy changes aimed at removing access barriers. Among her policy priorities is increasing generic utilization, driving biosimilars interchangeability, stemming the tide of HIV/AIDS, ensuring a fair and a level competitive playing field, and strengthening the global supply chain to make it safer.

Ms. Bresch served as chair of the U.S. Generic Pharmaceutical Association’s board of directors in 2016, 2005, and 2004, and as vice chair in 2003 and 2006. She is a frequent speaker on issues such as affordable healthcare and global competitiveness, and has testified before the U.S. Congress and the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) on issues related to access to medicine. Ms. Bresch is the pharmaceutical industry’s first female CEO of a Fortune 500 company and has been named by Fortune magazine as one of its “50 Most Powerful Women.” Ms. Bresch’s qualifications to serve on Mylan’s Board, include, among others, her leadership and unique and deep knowledge of the Company, its businesses, markets and strategies, as well as its global research, supply chain, manufacturing and commercial platforms; her knowledge and experience regarding issues, risks and opportunities in the global healthcare industry; and her knowledge and expertise regarding political and public policy healthcare-related matters, public company management and leadership and international business transactions and integration.

Wendy Cameron. Ms. Cameron has served as Co-Owner and Director of Cam Land LLC, a harness racing business in Washington, Pennsylvania, since January 2003. From 1981 to 1998, she was vice president, Divisional Sales & Governmental Affairs, Cameron Coca-Cola Bottling Company, Inc. Ms. Cameron served as chairman of the Washington Hospital Board of Trustees and of the Washington Hospital Executive Committee until she stepped down in 2012. She was a member of the hospital’s board of trustees from 1997 through 2012 and a member of the Washington Hospital Foundation board from 1993 through 2012. In addition to being a business owner and having held an executive position with one of the nation’s largest bottlers for nearly 20 years, Ms. Cameron has invaluable experience and knowledge regarding the business, platforms, strategies, challenges, opportunities, and management of the Company, among other matters. Ms. Cameron’s qualifications to serve on Mylan’s Board include, among others, her independence, business experience, leadership, and judgment. On February 20, 2018, Ms. Cameron notified the Company that she will retire from the Board effective as of the end of her term at the 2018 AGM.

Hon. Robert J. Cindrich. Since February 2011, Judge Cindrich has been serving as president of Cindrich Consulting, LLC, a business and healthcare consulting company that advises clients on corporate governance, compliance and business strategies. From October 1, 2013, through January 31, 2014, he served as interim general counsel for United States Steel Corporation (“U.S. Steel”) (NYSE: X), an integrated steel producer of flat-rolled and tubular products.

as interim general counsel, returning to Schnader after his time there and remaining until December 2017. In May 2012, he joined the board of directors of Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDRX), which provides healthcare information technology solutions, where he served until April 2015. From 2011 through 2012, Judge Cindrich served as a senior advisor to the Office of the President of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (“UPMC”), an integrated global health enterprise. From 2004 through 2010, Judge Cindrich was a senior vice president and the chief legal officer of UPMC. From 1994 through January 2004, Judge Cindrich served as a judge on the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. Prior to that appointment, he was active as an attorney in government and private practice, including positions as the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania and as the Allegheny County Assistant Public Defender and Assistant District Attorney.

Robert J. Coury. Robert J. Coury is the Chairman of Mylan N.V. Under his continuing visionary leadership and strategic direction, Mylan has transformed from the third largest generics pharmaceutical company in the U.S. into one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world in terms of revenue, earning spots on both the S&P 500 and, prior to the Company’s reincorporation outside of the U.S. in 2015, the Fortune 500. Mr. Coury first was elected to Mylan’s Board in February 2002, having served since 1995 as a strategic advisor to the Company. He became the Board’s Vice Chairman shortly after his election and served as CEO from September 2002 until January 2012. He served as Executive Chairman from 2012 until June 2016, when he ceased to be an employee and became Chairman.

Since 2007, Mr. Coury has led Mylan through a series of transactions totaling approximately $25 billion, which transformed Mylan into a global powerhouse within the highly competitive pharmaceutical industry, with a global workforce of approximately 35,000 and products sold in more than 165 countries. In 2007, Mylan purchased India-based Matrix Laboratories Limited, a major producer of active pharmaceutical ingredients, and the generics and specialty pharmaceuticals business of Europe-based Merck KGaA. Subsequent acquisitions under Mr. Coury’s leadership further expanded Mylan into new therapeutic categories and greatly enhanced its geographic and commercial footprint. In 2010, Mylan acquired Bioniche Pharma (“Bioniche”), a global injectables business in Ireland; in 2013, Mylan acquired India-based Agila Specialties, a global injectables company; and in 2015, Mylan acquired the EPD Business and Famy Care Ltd.’s women’s healthcare businesses. More recently, Mylan acquired Meda AB (publ.) (“Meda”), a leading international specialty pharmaceutical company that sells prescription and over-the-counter products and the non-sterile, topicals-focused business of Renaissance Acquisition Holdings, LLC.

During this period of expansion, Mr. Coury’s vision and leadership led to the building of an unmatched, high quality foundation for the future, supporting Mylan’s mission of providing the world’s 7 billion people with access to high quality medicine and benefiting investors, patients, customers and other stakeholders. Before becoming Executive Chairman, Mr. Coury also executed a successful executive leadership transition after cultivating and developing a powerful leadership team. Grooming executive talent from within and recruiting dynamic leaders from outside Mylan both were key components of the Company’s past, current and future growth strategies.

Mr. Coury’s qualifications to serve on Mylan’s Board include, among others, demonstrated outstanding business acumen and strong business judgment.

shareholders of Mylan where practicable. All current members of the Board attended Mylan’s 2017 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “2017 AGM”) as did Joseph C. Maroon, M.D., who was not nominated for re-election at the 2017 AGM and retired from Mylan’s Board effective June 22, 2017.

As noted, Mark W. Parrish has served as Vice Chairman and Lead Independent Director of Mylan’s Board since August 2017.

Piatt, a former director and the Lead Independent Director prior to Mr. Parrish, presided at such sessions during his term as a director, while Mr. Dimick presided at an executive session prior to Mr. Parrish’s election as Lead Independent Director.

Directors may also elect to attend additional third-party educational events at their discretion. The Company reimburses the directors for costs associated with any seminars and conferences, including travel expenses.

Mylan’s Board Committees

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

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

Mylan’s Board Leadership Structure

Mylan’s current Board structure enables it to best oversee and empower its management team to support and drive the Company’s outstanding results for shareholders and other stakeholders. The Company’s short- and long-term performance and the ongoing execution of our mission demonstrate the success of this structure. The Company and its stakeholders continue to benefit from the leadership, judgment, vision, experience — and performance — of the Board and management team under the highly active and extraordinary visionary leadership, insight and strategic direction of Mr. Coury as Chairman. Our Board is highly qualified, engaged, experienced and independent. Our executive directors, Ms. Bresch (CEO) and Mr. Malik (President), together with our other outstanding management team members, have worked with the Board to develop a unique vision for the Company and continue to execute on this vision, consistent with the Board’s philosophy.

The Board’s determination that the current Board structure and management team is optimal for Mylan is based on, among other factors: the Company’s consistent long-term performance and durability; the Board’s deep and unique knowledge of the complexity, size and dramatic growth of the Company, as well as the industry and markets in which we operate; senior management’s demonstrated leadership abilities; the respective talents and capabilities of each of the directors and members of management; and the Board’s demonstrated ability to take advantage of opportunities and respond to commercial, competitive, regulatory, industry and other challenges, both anticipated and unanticipated.

The Board’s governance structure provides robust and effective oversight in the following ways:

 

   

Eight independent members;

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

 

   

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

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

 

   

Mylan’s Board and its committees can retain, at their discretion and at Company expense, any advisors they deem necessary with respect to any matter brought before them (although the Science and Technology Committee retains such advisors in consultation with the Chairman and Lead Independent Director);

 

   

In 2017, Mylan’s Board held four executive sessions of non-management members, and its committees collectively held 16 executive sessions.

Risk Oversight

Risk Management

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

It is the responsibility of Mylan’s management and employees to implement and administer risk-management processes to identify material risks to our business. In addition, management must assess, manage and monitor those risks, all while maintaining flexibility in how we operate. To further embed risk management and compliance into our culture, Mylan implements appropriate policies and procedures and trains employees on how to comply with them.

Mylan’s Board, in turn, directly or through its committees, oversees management’s implementation of risk management. We have approved a robust Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and other related policies, and the Board and its committees rigorously review with management key actual and potential significant risks at least quarterly. Consistent with our proactive approach to risk management, the Board recently formed a Risk Oversight Committee to assist in its oversight of our enterprise risk management framework, in coordination with the respective oversight responsibilities of other Board committees.

Board committees’ role in risk oversight:

 

   

The Risk Oversight Committee recently was formed to assist the Board in its oversight of Mylan’s enterprise risk management framework. The Committee reviews the enterprise risk framework, infrastructure and controls implemented by management to help identify, assess, manage and monitor material risks; reviews management’s exercise of its responsibility to identify, assess and manage material risks not allocated to the Board or another committee; and reviews Mylan’s efforts to foster a culture of risk-adjusted decision-making without constraining reasonable risk-taking and innovation.

Table of Contents
   

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

 

   

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

 

   

The Compliance Committee is responsible for overseeing the Chief Compliance Officer’s implementation of Mylan’s Corporate Compliance Program and related policies and procedures. The Committee appoints and replaces this individual, and reviews his or her performance, responsibilities, plans and resources. The Committee makes recommendations with respect to the Corporate Compliance Program and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, including monitoring and evaluating significant reports of actual or alleged violations by employees and executive officers and third-party risks. The Committee also considers and evaluates significant global compliance-related policies, including policies related to pricing and/or commercialization of Company products and services. The Committee receives reports from various levels of management and outside advisors and meets on at least a quarterly basis.

 

   

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

 

   

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

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires all directors and certain executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of Mylan’s equity securities to file with the SEC within specified due dates reports of ownership and reports of changes of ownership of Mylan ordinary shares and the Company’s other equity securities. These persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based on reports and written representations furnished to us by these persons, we believe that all Mylan directors and “officers” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) complied with these filing requirements during 2017.

Executive Summary

 

 

 

Shareholder Engagement and Board Responsiveness

Engaging with our shareholders is a key priority for the Board and it is committed to maintaining this dialogue to ensure we continue to focus on helping shareholders to understand the various facets of our business model and Mylan’s differentiated approach. The dialogue also ensures that we are informed by their perspectives on topics that matter most to them. The Board was disappointed with the results of the Say-on-Pay vote at the 2017 AGM. Accordingly, following the 2017 AGM and into the second quarter of 2018, five independent directors and the Chairman and, separately, the CEO and other members of management, undertook an extensive shareholder-outreach initiative.

Shareholders expressed support for the members of our management team and for the structure of our ongoing compensation program, including pay mix and metrics used to measure performance for purposes of annual and long-term incentive compensation. Shareholders did, however, express their concerns regarding total reported compensation in Mylan’s Proxy Statement for the 2017 AGM (the “2017 Proxy Statement”) as the key reason for votes against the 2017 Say-on-Pay vote. During those discussions, we explained the background on the compensation amounts reported for 2016 and referred shareholders to prior public documents, explaining the basis for compensation (reported in 2016) as well as decisions the Board had already taken in 2017.

The Board further explained its perspective to shareholders and also listened to their feedback. The Board has also proactively taken several additional actions relating to our executive compensation program and the Board’s oversight of the program, which is intended to further address shareholder feedback:

 

   

We refreshed 2/3 of our Compensation Committee to introduce new perspectives. Following the 2018 AGM, we expect that the Committee will have a third new member upon the retirement of Ms. Cameron, resulting in a complete refreshment.

 

   

We reaffirmed our intention to rely primarily on a simplified pay mix of salary, annual performance-based incentives and long-term incentives heavily weighted toward performance-based awards.

 

   

The Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant again reviewed market data and confirmed that our program design and 2017 CEO and NEO compensation is in line with peers and market practice.

In fact, we note that our CEO compensation as reported in the Summary Compensation Table has declined in each of the last three years and for 2017 ranks third lowest out of the 14 members of our peer group

(including Mylan) that have reported fiscal year 2017 CEO compensation as of April 30, 2018, and fifth lowest out of the 22 members of our 2017 ISS-selected peer group (including Mylan) that have reported fiscal year 2017 CEO compensation as of April 30, 2018.

 

   

For 2018, we adopted a new metric for performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) tied to cash flow as a percentage of debt to incentivize prudent balance sheet management, while maintaining return on invested capital (“ROIC”) and relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) as important factors in determining PRSU payouts.

 

   

We revised our CD&A to further enhance and streamline the disclosure.

We acknowledge the results from our 2017 AGM and the feedback we received from some shareholders regarding our 2016 compensation, and the Committee is confident that our ongoing executive compensation program – and the actions taken both before and after the 2017 AGM to refine the compensation program and the Board’s oversight of it – appropriately address the feedback we have heard from our shareholders. We will continue to engage with shareholders and remain committed to being responsive to their perspectives.

Business Performance and How It Aligns to Compensation

Over the last decade, we have continued to transform from a mid-sized U.S. generics company to a highly differentiated global pharmaceutical company capable of delivering better health to customers around the world. Our experienced executive leadership team has led our workforce of approximately 35,000 in building a one-of-a-kind durable, differentiated platform that is capable of withstanding market volatility – something that sets Mylan apart in a rapidly changing industry.

2017 Highlights

 

 

Access

 

 

  Filed 184 regulatory submissions demonstrating the depth of our global pipeline

 

  Gained approval on several key products, including OgivriTM (U.S.), Glatiramer Acetate (U.S. and Europe) and Generic Estrace® Cream (U.S.)

 

  Received FDA acceptance for review of our New Drug Application for Revefenacin and our Biologics License Application for Pegfilgrastim

 

  Introduced MyHep AllTM in India to combat hepatitis C

 

  Helped stem the tide of HIV by introducing the first Tenofovir Alafenamide-based, fixed-dose combination product to be offered to patients in developing countries

 

  Secured marketing authorization for Trastuzumab in 20 emerging markets

 

  Launched more than 40 injectable products worldwide, further advancing our strategy

 

 

 

 

Diversification

 

 

  Generated $11.9 billion in total revenues with more than 50% from outside the U.S., further demonstrating that we are no longer dependent on any one geography or product

 

  Advanced our ONE Mylan commercial strategy across our geographies and channels to distinguish us as customers’ partner of choice

 

  Enhanced our portfolio through inorganic investments in key areas including OTC, complex and niche active pharmaceutical ingredients, and specialty dermatological products

 

 

 

 

Durability

 

 

  Increased net cash provided by operating activities to $2.06 billion and adjusted free cash flow to $2.6 billion, reflecting the strength and durability of our portfolio

 

  Paid down debt of ~$1.36 billion

 

  Leveraged the integration of acquisitions and realized opportunities to optimize our operations

 

 

Our executive compensation program continues to demonstrate the strong alignment between Company performance – including driving access for patients, building diversification into our business model and enhancing the durability of our results – and how our leaders are rewarded. Company performance has remained strong over an extended period, including in 2017. This is perhaps most impressive given recent periods of

turmoil and disruption in the industry and healthcare systems around the world (particularly in the U.S. over the past several years). We did not meet all of our challenging compensation metric targets in 2017 and, as a direct result, the resulting CEO and other executive compensation has been directly impacted.

 

   

Compensation totals reported in the Summary Compensation Table have generally declined over the last three years; 7.5% for our CEO since 2016.

 

   

The annual incentive payouts, which are driven solely by Company performance, have declined for three straight years.

 

   

The recently completed long-term performance period for the PRSUs granted in 2015 achieved 75% of target performance and the value of the shares earned at vesting was 61% of target on the date of the grant.

Compensation Philosophy & Process

 

 

Compensation Philosophy

Mylan’s approach to executive compensation is designed to:

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

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

Attract, retain and reward outstanding executive talent: Mylan provides a highly competitive mix of compensation with an emphasis on long-term incentives to retain talented executives.

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

Role of the Compensation Committee

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

In 2017, the Compensation Committee retained Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC (“Meridian”) to provide advice and information regarding the design and implementation of Mylan’s executive compensation programs. Meridian also provided information to the Compensation Committee regarding regulatory and other technical developments that may be relevant to Mylan’s executive compensation programs. In addition, Meridian provided the Compensation Committee with competitive market information, analyses and trends on executive base salary, annual incentives, long-term incentives, benefits and perquisites.

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

Additionally, the Compensation Committee receives input from management; however, decisions on NEO compensation matters are made solely by the Compensation Committee and/or the independent directors.

Process and Peer Group

Compensation Committee Process

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

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

 

   

Company performance (relative to peers and budget);

 

   

The tenure and experience of members of our management team;

 

   

Individual leadership performance and contributions to the success of Mylan;

 

   

Responsibilities of, and future expectations for, the individual;

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

Peer group pay levels and published survey data; and

 

   

Advice from independent external experts and advisors.

We consider these and other qualitative and quantitative factors from time-to-time in assessing our compensation philosophy and approach, in addition to using these factors to make individual compensation decisions. The Compensation Committee and the independent directors believe that the peer group is the right reference point for compensation decisions when coupled with the independent judgment and experience of our independent directors who are intimately familiar with matters that the Board oversees and guides, including the Company’s business, strategies, challenges and opportunities, as well as the unique respective talents, contributions, leadership, responsibilities and future expectations of the executives who drive performance and long-term sustainability.

Peer Group

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

The peer group is used for compensation information for NEOs and for assessing the relative total shareholder return metric applicable to PRSUs. Due to Mylan’s unique position in the market and long-tenured management team, pay is not formulaically tied to a particular percentile of the peer group. In 2017, the Committee restructured the peer group to include 13 companies, six of which were also in the 2016 peer group. The 2016 peer group contained 19 companies from a mix of industries, including pharmaceutical, healthcare equipment and biotech. The 2017 peer group provides a more direct focus on Mylan’s business competitors and the companies Mylan competes with for executive talent. The Committee also believes this group of 13 companies provides a more relevant performance comparison for total shareholder return.

Consideration of Risk in Company Compensation Policies

Our compensation programs are designed to encourage outstanding, consistent 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 performance measures, so that undue emphasis is not placed on one particular measure, and employ different types of compensation to provide value over the short-, medium- and long-term. These performance measures are reevaluated annually in light of the evolving risk environment facing our business. When making compensation decisions, we also consider qualitative factors to avoid the consequence that an overly formulaic approach may have on excessive risk-taking by management.

Components of 2017 Executive Compensation

 

 

Our executive compensation program is designed to incentivize our NEOs to deliver exceptional long-term shareholder value and to fully align the interests of our executives with those of our shareholders and other stakeholders. We pay our NEOs through three primary components of compensation: base salary, an annual incentive and a long-term incentive. In addition, our NEOs receive certain benefits and perquisites. Our program is heavily weighted toward performance-based compensation and annual and long-term incentive outcomes are primarily dependent on the achievement of outstanding performance results.

2017 Pay Mix

Base Salary

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

For 2017, no NEOs received base salary increases except for Mr. Parks. The Compensation Committee increased Mr. Parks’ base salary by 14% effective as of September 1, 2017, to reflect his strong performance and expanded responsibility for the Global Integrated Services function. Ms. Bresch and Mr. Malik’s salaries have not increased since 2015, and Mr. Mauro’s salary has not increased since 2016.

Annual Incentive Compensation

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

For 2017, the Compensation Committee set challenging performance goals based on four key performance indicators of the current and future strength of our business. In addition, the metrics were selected specifically because they are related to the actions and leadership of our management team and measure their ability to extract the greatest value from our assets. U.S. GAAP Revenue was introduced as a new performance metric for the 2017 annual incentive program. This metric was added to further incentivize senior management to focus on top-line growth. The Compensation Committee chose to use adjusted metrics for the other two financial goals (adjusted EPS and adjusted free cash flow) because it believes that these adjusted metrics present the most consistent measure of evaluating Mylan’s financial performance, and the ongoing operations of the Company.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

The Compensation Committee believes that the value of long-term incentives should be directly related to the performance of Mylan’s ordinary shares, as well as other measures associated with the growth and success of Mylan. The Compensation Committee has historically approved annual LTI award grants in the first quarter of the fiscal year, with the grant effective following the release of year-end audited financial results with exceptions for new hires (as was the case for Mr. Gallagher in 2017), promotions and other special awards, grants or circumstances.

Long-Term Incentive Structure. For 2017, LTI awards were granted to our NEOs in the form of PRSUs, stock options and RSUs in the proportions shown below.

This mix of awards provides recipients with a combination of incentive opportunities, aligns our executives with shareholders and ensures each vehicle has its own risk-reward profile with a unique benefit. The mix of the 2017 LTI grant was generally consistent with the mix of the 2016 grant. After a review of peer company practices, the Committee recognized that many peer companies provided a greater proportion of their long-term incentive mix in the form of RSUs. The Committee believes the 2017 long-term incentive mix provides a strong performance alignment, with 70% of the mix in PRSUs or stock options. The RSUs create ownership alignment with shareholders and provide a stable element of long-term compensation to encourage retention of executive talent.

ROIC is calculated from Mylan’s audited financial statements in the same manner as set forth in the reconciliations provided in Appendix A. Starting in 2016, the definition of ROIC was updated to include intangible assets and goodwill in the denominator to more appropriately reflect the strategic acquisitions Mylan has made.

**

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

PRSUs Granted in 2015

Although Mylan typically grants equity awards in the first quarter of the fiscal year, in 2015, PRSU grants to NEOs were postponed until the end of the year because of the EPD Transaction. Due to the timing of the 2015 PRSU grants, the awards were based on performance measured in 2016-2017 rather than the three-year performance period that is typically applied to PRSUs. The Company achieved higher than maximum performance with respect to the ROIC metric and below-threshold performance on the relative TSR metric. As a result, the NEOs received a payout for the PRSUs at 75% of the target number of shares.

Neither Mr. Parks nor Mr. Gallagher received the 2016-2017 PRSUs as they were not employed by Mylan when the PRSU award was granted in November 2015.

Limited Perquisites

Perquisites include the following:

 

   

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

 

   

Our senior executives take an extraordinarily active approach to overseeing and managing our global operations, which necessitates a significant amount of U.S. domestic and international travel time due to our diverse set of business centers, manufacturing and other facilities and many client and vendor locations around the world. Mylan provides management with access to corporate aircraft to assist in the management of Mylan’s global platform by providing a more efficient and secure traveling environment, including where sensitive business issues may be discussed or reviewed, as well as maximum flexibility to our executives in the conduct of Company business. For reasons of business efficiency and continued security-related concerns (including personal security, especially given the global nature of Mylan’s business, as well as privacy of business information and communications), we have required Ms. Bresch to use Mylan aircraft for business and personal purposes. During 2017, other executives from time-to-time also were authorized to have personal use of the corporate aircraft for similar reasons. The Compensation Committee monitors business and personal aircraft usage on a periodic basis. To the extent any travel on the corporate aircraft results in imputed taxable income to an NEO, Mylan does not provide gross-up payments to cover the NEO’s personal income tax obligation due to such imputed income. For a summary of how this perquisite is calculated, see footnote (b) to the Summary Compensation Table on page 35 of this Amendment.

 

   

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

Other Compensation Matters and Considerations

 

 

Ordinary Share Ownership Requirements for NEOs

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

 

Position

 

  

 

Ownership Requirement  

(Multiple of Base Salary)  

 

 

 

CEO

 

  

 

 

 

 

6x  

 

 

 

 

 

President

 

  

 

 

 

 

4x  

 

 

 

 

 

Other NEOs

 

  

 

 

 

 

3x  

 

 

 

 

As of December 31, 2017, all NEOs exceeded their ownership requirements. In addition to the NEOs, Mylan’s ordinary share ownership policy covers the most senior employees at Mylan to promote an ownership culture and stronger alignment with the interests of shareholders among the broader leadership team. Each covered employee generally has five years from the date they became subject to the policy to achieve the minimum ownership requirement. Ordinary shares actually owned by the covered employee (including ordinary shares held by the covered employee in Mylan’s 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan), as well as restricted ordinary shares and unvested RSUs and PRSUs count toward compliance with these requirements. Our NEOs substantially exceed the ownership threshold set forth in the share ownership policy.

Clawback Policy

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

Anti-Hedging and Pledging Policy

The Board has approved a securities trading policy that prohibits directors and certain employees from engaging in any transaction designed to limit or eliminate economic risks associated with the ownership of our equity or debt securities by trading in certain types of hedging instruments relating to any of our securities. Hedging instruments include prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, exchange funds, insurance contracts, short sales, options, puts, calls or other instruments designed to hedge or offset movements in the price of our ordinary shares or debt. The policy also prohibits directors and certain employees from entering into transactions that involve the holding of Mylan securities in margin accounts (other than the “cashless exercise” of stock options) or the pledging of Mylan equity or debt securities as collateral for loans, with certain exceptions approved by the Compensation Committee if the executive demonstrates that he or she has the continuing financial capacity to repay any underlying loan or potential margin call without resorting to Mylan equity or debt securities. To the extent that the SEC adopts rules for anti-hedging and pledging policies that require changes to our policy, we will respond accordingly.

Employment Agreements

We believe it is important to have employment agreements with our executive officers and other key employees. These agreements memorialize certain key terms of employment, including termination rights and obligations, non-competition and other restrictive covenants, and compensation and perquisites, and we believe thereby enhance the stability and continuity of our employment relationships. Each of the NEOs is party to an employment agreement with Mylan Inc.

Appointment of Chief Legal Officer

In connection with his appointment as Chief Legal Officer, on March 24, 2017, Mr. Gallagher and Mylan Inc. entered into an employment agreement effective as of April 1, 2017.

Mr. Gallagher’s employment agreement had an initial term of one year, automatically renews for successive one-year periods unless earlier terminated by Mr. Gallagher or Mylan, and provides for the following during his term of employment:

 

   

a base salary of $800,000;

 

   

eligibility for a discretionary annual bonus with a target amount equal to 115% of his base salary;

 

   

an annual grant of LTI awards under Mylan’s Amended and Restated 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Amended 2003 Plan”) with a value equal to 400% of his base salary;

 

   

a signing bonus of $350,000, which was subject to full or partial repayment in the event Mr. Gallagher had left Mylan prior to the first anniversary of his appointment, except in certain circumstances; and

 

   

a grant of RSUs (the “Gallagher Sign-On RSUs”) with a grant date value of $650,035 and an award of 40,507 PRSUs with a grant date value of $1,546,152 pursuant to the One-Time Special Five-Year Performance-Based Realizable Value Incentive Program. A description of the One-Time Special Five-Year Performance-Based Realizable Value Incentive Program can be found in the Proxy Statement for Mylan Inc.’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

For a detailed description of the employment agreements entered into with the other NEOs, see the section below entitled “Employment Agreements,” beginning on page 43 of this Amendment.

Transition and Succession Agreements

Mylan Inc. is party to separate Transition and Succession Agreements with each NEO with an aim to assuring that Mylan will have the NEO’s full attention and dedication to Mylan during the pendency of a possible change in control transaction that might optimize shareholder value, and to provide the officer with compensation and benefits in connection with a change in control. The Transition and Succession Agreements are independent of each NEO’s employment agreement. Subsequent to the execution of certain legacy agreements, Mylan adopted a policy that no new Transition and Succession Agreements will provide for an excise tax gross-up for golden parachute payments. Consistent with this commitment, the Transition and Succession Agreements with Messrs. Parks and Gallagher do not contain excise tax gross-ups. For legal and other considerations, the Transition and Succession Agreements currently in effect and executed prior to the new policy are not subject to that policy. Mylan does not have the right to unilaterally abrogate pre-existing binding contracts with its executives, and does not believe it would be in shareholders’ best interests to expend funds to “buy out” the executives from these rights. Since implementation of the new policy, no new or amended Transition and Succession Agreements with excise tax gross-up provisions have been executed and several have expired as executives have ceased to be actively employed with Mylan. The agreements with Messrs. Parks and Gallagher provide that they will, in the event subject to an excise tax on any golden parachute payments, be subject to a “best net” approach, under which they will receive the full amount of such payments or the greatest amount of such payments that will not subject them to the excise tax, whichever would result in the greatest after-tax amount.

For a detailed description of these Transition and Succession Agreements, see the section below entitled “Termination Under Transition and Succession Agreements (Change in Control)” beginning on page  45 of this Amendment.

Retirement Benefits

Mylan previously entered into Retirement Benefit Agreements (“RBAs”) with Ms. Bresch and Mr. Malik in recognition of their service to Mylan, to encourage their retention and to provide a supplemental form of

 

32


Table of Contents

retirement and death benefit. For a detailed description of the RBAs with Ms. Bresch and Mr. Malik, see the section below entitled “Retirement Benefit Agreements” beginning on page 42 of this Amendment.

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

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

The footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table include changes in pension values calculated based on certain actuarial assumptions regarding discount rates. In computing these amounts, we used the same assumptions that were used to determine the expense amounts recognized in our 2017 financial statements. In 2017, the impact of an increase in the applicable discount rates led to a decrease in the present value of accumulated benefits of approximately $198,000 for Ms. Bresch and approximately $110,000 for Mr. Malik.

Deductibility Cap on Executive Compensation

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

Compensation Committee Report

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

Respectfully submitted,

Wendy Cameron

(1)

Represents the value of the base salary actually paid to the NEO in 2017, 2016 or 2015. The annual base salary approved by the Compensation Committee for each of the NEOs is payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices for its senior executives, so that an NEO’s total base salary amount is paid in 26 bi-weekly installments. 2015 included an additional payment date (a total of 27 payments were made in 2015), therefore the amounts shown for 2015 are greater than the applicable NEO’s annual base salary.

(2)

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

(3)

Represents the grant date fair value of the stock awards granted to the NEO in 2017, 2016 or 2015, as applicable. The grant date fair value of PRSUs for 2017 is based on the target value and is as follows: Ms. Bresch ($4,550,033), Mr. Parks ($900,031), Mr. Malik ($2,800,031), Mr. Gallagher ($1,600,006) and Mr. Mauro ($1,250,040). If the maximum achievement of performance goals had been assumed, the grant date fair value of the PRSUs for 2017, would have been as follows: Ms. Bresch ($6,825,072), Mr. Parks ($1,350,069), Mr. Malik ($4,200,068), Mr. Gallagher ($2,400,028), and Mr. Mauro ($1,875,060). For Mr. Parks, the amount shown for 2016 also includes the grant date fair value of PRSUs granted to him under the One-Time Special Five-Year Performance-Based Realizable Value Incentive Program, which was $1,566,811, which assumes achievement of performance targets at maximum level. For Mr. Gallagher, the amount shown for 2017 also includes the grant date fair value of PRSUs granted to him under the One-Time Special Five-Year Performance-Based Realizable Value Incentive Program, which was $1,546,152, which assumes the achievement of performance targets at maximum level. For information regarding assumptions used in determining the expense of such awards, please refer to Note 11 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Original Filing.

(4)

Represents the grant date fair value of the option awards granted to the NEO in 2017, 2016 or 2015, as applicable. For information regarding assumptions used in determining the expense of such awards, please refer to Note 11 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Original Filing.

(5)

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

(6)

Represents the aggregate change in present value of the applicable NEO’s accumulated benefit under his or her respective RBA. In computing these amounts, we used the same assumptions that were used to determine the expense amounts recognized in our 2017 financial statements. In 2017, the impact of an increase in the applicable discount rates led to a decrease in the present value of accumulated benefits of approximately $198,000 for Ms. Bresch and approximately $110,000 for Mr. Malik. For further information concerning the RBAs, see the Pension Benefits for 2017 Table set forth below and the section below entitled “Retirement Benefit Agreements,” beginning on page 42 of this Amendment.

    2017       19,200       2,595                   24,238       123,285             22,603  
    2016       19,200       608                   28,335       170,589             40,370

  (a)

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

  (b)

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

  (c)

Beginning in 2016, Mr. Malik was no longer eligible to receive a housing allowance or home-leave benefit, both of which he received in prior years.

  (d)

Expatriate benefits for Mr. Malik represent income taxes paid by Mylan in connection with Mr. Malik’s expatriate assignment to the United States from India effective January 1, 2012. Specifically, Mr. Malik is responsible for, and has continued to pay taxes equal to those he would have been obligated to pay had he maintained his principal work location and residence in India rather than having transferred, at Mylan’s request, to the United States, while Mylan generally has responsibility for all additional taxes, including Mr. Malik’s tax obligations on the imputed income associated with Mylan’s payment of taxes on his behalf. Beginning in 2016, Mr. Malik no longer receives a tax equalization benefit in respect of his LTI awards. Amounts shown for 2017, 2016 and 2015 for Mr. Malik are net of Mylan’s estimated tax refunds for each year. Estimated refunds were $15,685 for 2017, and approximately $0.2 million for 2016 and approximately $1.1 million for 2015.

  (e)

For 2017, amounts disclosed included, for Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Parks, Malik, Gallagher and Mauro, a matching contribution of $10,920, $4,615, $10,800, $4,539 and $10,738, respectively, and a profit sharing contribution received in March 2018 in respect of fiscal year 2017 equal to $13,500 for each NEO. In March 2017, the Company made a profit sharing contribution to each NEO, other than Mr. Gallagher, in respect of fiscal year 2016 equal to $13,250. For 2016, amounts disclosed included, for Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Parks, Malik and Mauro, a matching contribution of $10,869, $6,908, $10,600 and $9,785, respectively, and, for Ms. Bresch and Mr. Mauro, a profit sharing contribution from the Company of $18,550. For 2015, amounts disclosed for Ms. Bresch included a matching contribution of $10,592, and a profit sharing contribution from the Company of $18,200. For 2015, amounts disclosed for Mr. Mauro included a matching contribution of $10,600, and a profit sharing contribution from the Company of $18,200. Mr. Malik became eligible to participate in Mylan’s U.S. retirement plans in 2016.

  (f)

For 2017, amounts disclosed included, for Messrs. Parks, Gallagher and Mauro, a matching contribution under the Restoration Plan of $20,509, $13,200 and $54,793, respectively, and a profit sharing contribution under the Restoration Plan received in March 2018 in respect of fiscal year 2017 for each of Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Parks, Malik, Gallagher and Mauro equal to $165,331, $52,931, $109,469, $16,500 and $68,492, respectively. In March 2017, the Company made a profit sharing contribution to each of Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Parks, Malik and Mauro under the Restoration Plan in respect of fiscal year 2016 equal to $246,750, $4,058, $161,750 and $93,740, respectively. Ms. Bresch is no longer eligible to receive a matching contribution under the Restoration Plan. Although he became eligible to participate in Mylan’s U.S. retirement plans in 2016, Mr. Malik is not eligible to receive a matching contribution under the Restoration Plan. See page 41 of this Amendment for further information regarding Restoration Plan contributions.

  (g)

Represents the one-time tax reimbursement payment with respect to the excise tax under Section 4985 of the Code that was imposed in connection with the EPD Transaction on the value of certain LTI awards held by the directors and NEOs. Such payment ensured that, on a net after-tax basis, the NEO would be in the same position as if such excise tax had not been imposed. See the Proxy Statement for Mylan’s 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders for further discussion of the excise tax imposed in connection with the EPD Transaction and this one-time payment.

  (h)

Represents events for all NEOs other than Mr. Gallagher; life insurance retention plan premium for Ms. Bresch and Mr. Mauro; long-term disability premiums; a health insurance premium for Mr. Malik; for 2016 and 2015, only, contributions to the Provident Fund, a statutory plan in India, for Mr. Malik; for 2016 only, matching of certain charitable contributions for Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Malik and Mauro; for 2016 only, certain personal security services for Ms. Bresch; and tax preparation services related to U.K. tax returns for all NEOs other than Mr. Gallagher.

In the case of awards granted to Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Malik and Gallagher (for Mr. Gallagher, solely with respect to RSUs granted in 2017), the awards would also vest upon the executive’s termination without “cause,” or resignation for “good reason” as defined in the applicable employment agreement.

(3)

The market value of restricted ordinary shares, RSUs and PRSUs was calculated using the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares as of December 31, 2017, $42.31.

(4)

These awards consist of restricted ordinary shares under the One-Time Special Five-Year Performance-Based Realizable Value Incentive Program. The restricted ordinary shares remain subject to forfeiture and additional vesting conditions, including achievement of adjusted EPS of $6.00 for full vesting and continued service through December 31, 2018, or, in the case of Mr. Gallagher only, April 1, 2020, and the other terms and conditions of the program. The One-Time Special Five-Year Performance-Based Realizable Value Incentive Program is described in detail in the Proxy Statement for Mylan Inc.’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. In accordance with their terms, the restricted ordinary shares would vest upon a change in control. In the case of awards granted to Ms. Bresch and Mr. Malik, the restricted ordinary shares would also vest upon the executive’s termination due to death or disability or without “cause” or resignation for “good reason” as defined in the applicable employment agreement, subject to the achievement of the applicable performance goals.

(5)

The vesting of these PRSUs is subject to the attainment of performance goals. On March 4, 2018, Ms. Bresch vested in 57,738 ordinary shares or 75% of the target 76,984 PRSUs, Mr. Malik vested in 35,532 ordinary shares or 75% of the target 47,375 PRSUs and Mr. Mauro vested in 13,680 ordinary shares or 75% of the target 18,506 PRSUs.

The PRSUs are expected to vest upon the earliest to occur of (i) February 17, 2019 or March 3, 2020, as applicable, provided that the performance goals have been satisfied, (ii) an involuntary termination without cause or a voluntary resignation for good reason within two years following a change in control, (iii) the executive’s death or disability and (iv) in the case of awards granted to Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Malik and Gallagher (for Mr. Gallagher, solely with respect to PRSUs granted in 2017), the executive’s termination without “cause,” or resignation for “good reason” as defined in the applicable employment agreement. Any outstanding ordinary shares subject to the award that remain unvested as of February 17, 2019, or March 3, 2020, as applicable, will be forfeited.

Retirement Programs and Employment Agreements

 

 

Restoration Plan

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

Ms. Bresch and Mr. Malik are no longer eligible to receive matching contributions under the Restoration Plan because they are party to RBAs with Mylan Inc.

Retirement Benefit Agreements

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

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

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

Information concerning the estimated value of benefits under Ms. Bresch’s and Mr. Malik’s RBAs assuming retirement as of December 31, 2017, is in the section below entitled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control,” beginning on page 43 of this Amendment.

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

Employment Agreements

Mylan Inc. was party to employment agreements with each of the NEOs in 2017. The information below is based on the employment agreements in effect as of December 31, 2017. For a further description of the employment agreement with Mr. Gallagher, see “Other Compensation Matters and Considerations – Employment Agreements” on page 31 of this Amendment.

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

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

For a description of the termination provisions under these agreements for Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Parks, Malik, Gallagher and Mauro, please see immediately below, at “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

 

 

The following discussion summarizes the termination and change in control-related provisions of the employment agreements, RBAs and Transition and Succession Agreements entered into between Mylan Inc. and the applicable NEO and in effect as of December 31, 2017, and termination of employment and change in control provisions under the Amended 2003 Plan. In the discussions that follow, all amounts payable upon termination or change in control that include the value of LTI awards, include the value, if any, attributable to awards granted under the One-Time Special Five-Year Performance-Based Realizable Value Incentive Program.

Termination Under Employment Agreements

Ms. Bresch. Under Ms. Bresch’s employment agreement in effect as of December 31, 2017, if Ms. Bresch were to resign for “good reason” or be terminated by Mylan without “cause” (each as defined in her employment agreement in effect as of December 31, 2017), or if her employment had been terminated due to death or disability, in each case, prior to a change in control, she would have been entitled to a lump sum payment equal to two times her annual base salary, two years of health benefits at Mylan’s cost and a pro rata bonus based upon the actual bonus she would have been entitled to receive for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs. Such payments and benefits would have been reduced by Company-provided death or disability benefits in the event of termination of Ms. Bresch’s employment due to death or disability. Pursuant to the applicable individual award agreements and Ms. Bresch’s employment agreement, if Ms. Bresch’s employment had been terminated without cause, for good reason or due to death or disability, all outstanding LTI awards granted to Ms. Bresch, including awards granted under the One-Time Special Five-Year Performance-Based Realizable Value Incentive Program, would have fully vested (with any performance-based equity awards deemed achieved at “target” level performance). Pursuant to the terms of Ms. Bresch’s employment agreement in effect as of December 31, 2017,

 

43


Table of Contents

if Mylan does not offer to extend or renew the term on substantially similar terms and conditions, she would be entitled to the same payments and benefits as if she had been terminated without cause. If Mylan offers to renew Ms. Bresch’s term of employment on substantially similar terms and conditions, and Ms. Bresch rejects such offer, she would be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to her annual base salary and one year of health benefits at Mylan’s cost.

If Ms. Bresch’s employment had been terminated on December 31, 2017, by Mylan without cause or by Ms. Bresch for good reason prior to a change in control or because of Ms. Bresch’s death or disability, she would have been entitled to cash severance and other benefits under her employment agreement and LTI award agreements having an estimated aggregate value of $37,338,204 (with any performance-based equity awards deemed achieved at “target” level performance).

Mr. Parks. Under Mr. Parks’ employment agreement as in effect on December 31, 2017, if Mr. Parks were to resign for “good reason” or be terminated by Mylan without “cause” (each as defined in his employment agreement in effect as of December 31, 2017), or if his employment had been terminated due to death or disability, in each case, prior to a change in control, he would have been entitled to a lump sum payment equal to his annual base salary, 12 months of health benefits at Mylan’s cost and a pro rata bonus equal to the bonus he would have been entitled to receive for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs. Such payments and benefits would have been reduced by Company-provided death or disability benefits in the event of termination of Mr. Parks’ employment due to death or disability.

If Mr. Parks’ employment had been terminated on December 31, 2017, by Mylan without cause or by Mr. Parks for good reason prior to a change in control, he would have been entitled to cash severance and other benefits under his employment agreement having an estimated aggregate value of $1,492,500. If Mr. Parks’ employment with Mylan had been terminated on December 31, 2017, because of his death or disability, he would have been entitled to cash severance and other benefits under his employment agreement and LTI award agreements in effect on such date having an aggregate value of $3,841,552 (with any performance-based equity awards deemed achieved at “target” level performance).

Mr. Malik. Under Mr. Malik’s employment agreement in effect as of December 31, 2017, if Mr. Malik were to resign for “good reason” or be terminated by Mylan without “cause” (each as defined in his employment agreement in effect as of December 31, 2017), or if his employment had been terminated due to death or disability, in each case, prior to a change in control, he would have been entitled to a lump sum payment equal to one-and-one-half times his annual base salary, 18 months of health benefits at Mylan’s cost and a pro rata bonus based upon the actual bonus he would have been entitled to receive for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs. Such payments and benefits would have been reduced by Company-provided death or disability benefits in the event of termination of Mr. Malik’s employment due to death or disability. Pursuant to the applicable individual award agreements and Mr. Malik’s employment agreement, if Mr. Malik’s employment had been terminated without cause, for good reason or due to death or disability, all outstanding LTI awards granted to Mr. Malik, including his awards granted under the One-Time Special Five-Year Performance-Based Realizable Value Incentive Program, would have fully vested (with any performance-based equity awards deemed achieved at “target” level performance). Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Malik’s employment agreement in effect as of December 31, 2017, if Mylan does not offer to extend or renew the term on substantially similar terms and conditions, he would be entitled to the same payments and benefits as if he had been terminated without cause. If Mylan offers to renew Mr. Malik’s term of employment on substantially similar terms and conditions, and Mr. Malik rejects such offer, he would be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to his annual base salary and one year of health benefits at Mylan’s cost.

If Mr. Malik’s employment had been terminated on December 31, 2017, by Mylan without cause or by Mr. Malik for good reason prior to a change in control or because of Mr. Malik’s death or disability, he would have been entitled to cash severance and other benefits under his employment agreement and LTI award agreements having an estimated aggregate value of $26,581,386 (with any performance-based equity awards deemed achieved at “target” level performance).

Mr. Gallagher. Under Mr. Gallagher’s employment agreement as in effect on December 31, 2017, if Mr. Gallagher were to resign for “good reason” or be terminated by Mylan without “cause” (each as defined in his employment agreement in effect as of December 31, 2017), or if his employment had been terminated due to death or disability, in each case, prior to a change in control, he would have been entitled to a lump sum payment equal to his annual base salary, 12 months of health benefits at Mylan’s cost and a pro rata bonus equal to the bonus he would have been entitled to receive for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs. Such payments and benefits would have been reduced by Company-provided death or disability benefits in the event of termination of Mr. Gallagher’s employment due to death or disability. In addition, if Mr. Gallagher were to resign for good reason or be terminated by Mylan without cause prior to the full vesting of the Gallagher Sign-On RSUs or other equity awards granted in 2017 (other than those granted pursuant to the One-Time Special Five-Year Performance-Based Realizable Value Incentive Program), any unvested portion of such equity awards would immediately vest as of the date of Mr. Gallagher’s separation from Mylan, with any performance-based equity awards deemed achieved at “target” level performance.

If Mr. Gallagher’s employment had been terminated on December 31, 2017, by Mylan without cause or by Mr. Gallagher for good reason prior to a change in control, he would have been entitled to cash severance, and other benefits under his employment agreement having an estimated aggregate value of $5,409,853 (with any performance-based equity awards deemed achieved at “target” level performance). If Mr. Gallagher’s employment with Mylan had been terminated on December 31, 2017, because of his death or disability, he would have been entitled to cash severance payments and other benefits under his employment agreement and LTI award agreements having an aggregate value of $5,409,853 (with any performance-based equity awards deemed achieved at “target” level performance).

Mr. Mauro. Under Mr. Mauro’s employment agreement in effect on December 31, 2017, if Mr. Mauro were to be discharged by Mylan without “cause” (as defined in his employment agreement in effect on December 31, 2017) or if his employment had been terminated due to death or disability, in each case, prior to a change in control, he would have been entitled to a lump sum payment equal to his annual base salary, 12 months of health benefits at Mylan’s cost and a pro rata bonus equal to the bonus he would have been entitled to receive for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs. Such payments and benefits would have been reduced by Company-provided death or disability benefits in the event of termination of Mr. Mauro’s employment due to death or disability. If the term of employment in Mr. Mauro’s employment agreement in effect on December 31, 2017, was not extended or renewed, he would have been entitled to the same payments and benefits as if he had been terminated without cause.

If Mr. Mauro’s employment had been terminated on December 31, 2017, by Mylan without cause, he would have been entitled to cash severance and other benefits under his employment agreement having an estimated aggregate value of $1,519,717. If Mr. Mauro’s employment with Mylan had been terminated on December 31, 2017, because of his death or disability, he would have been entitled to cash severance and other benefits under his employment agreement and LTI award agreements having an aggregate value of $6,137,726 (with any performance-based equity awards deemed achieved at “target” level performance).

Retirement Benefit Agreements

If the employment of Ms. Bresch or Mr. Malik had been terminated for any reason on December 31, 2017, each of the executives would have been entitled to an estimated lump sum payment under their RBA equal to their vested balances of $6,735,866 and $4,191,581, respectively.

Termination Under Transition and Succession Agreements (Change in Control)

The Transition and Succession Agreements with Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Parks, Malik, Gallagher and Mauro provide that if the executive’s employment is terminated other than for cause (including death or disability) or if the executive terminates his or her employment for good reason, in each case prior to a change in control under certain circumstances (such as in the event the termination arose in connection with the change in control) or

 

45


Table of Contents

within two years following the occurrence of a change in control, or, under certain circumstances, for any reason within 90 days following the first anniversary of a change in control, the executive would become entitled to receive a lump sum severance payment, equal to, in the case of Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Parks, Malik and Gallagher, the higher of (i) the compensation and benefits payable under his or her employment agreement as if the change in control were deemed to be a termination without cause under the employment agreement and (ii) a lump sum severance payment in an amount equal to three times the sum of base salary and highest bonus paid to the executive under the employment agreement or the Transition and Succession Agreement, or, in the case of Mr. Mauro, a lump sum severance payment in an amount equal to three times the amount of base salary and cash bonus paid to Mr. Mauro by Mylan as reflected on Mr. Mauro’s W-2 in (a) the tax year immediately preceding the year in which the date of termination occurs or (b) the year in which the change in control occurs, whichever is greater. Such payments and benefits would be reduced by Company-provided death or disability benefits in the event of the executive’s termination due to death or disability. Each executive would additionally be entitled to continuation of health and other benefits for a period of three years. The Transition and Succession Agreements for each of Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Malik and Mauro also provide for a gross-up payment for any excise tax on “excess parachute payments.” Consistent with Mylan’s policy of not providing for gross-up payments in newly entered into agreements, Messrs. Parks’ and Gallagher’s Transition and Succession Agreements instead contain a “best net” provision in the event either would receive any “excess parachute payments,” as described above.

If a change in control had occurred on December 31, 2017, and the employment of each of Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Parks, Malik, Gallagher and Mauro had been terminated on such date under circumstances entitling them to payments under their Transition and Succession Agreements, the executives would have been entitled to cash severance and other benefits (which includes the vesting of LTI awards and the valuation of other perquisites and are in addition to the retirement benefit which they would receive as described above) having an estimated aggregate value as follows: for Ms. Bresch, $50,823,915; for Mr. Parks, $9,678,311; for Mr. Malik, $36,093,392; for Mr. Gallagher, $11,742,230; and for Mr. Mauro, $15,073,290. Mr. Mauro would also have been entitled to a gross-up payment for excise taxes estimated at $5,833,816. Based on the assumptions above, Ms. Bresch and Mr. Malik would not have been subject to the 280G excise tax if a change in control had occurred on December 31, 2017, and therefore no value is attributable to their contractual gross-up obligation for purposes of this disclosure.

As described above, subsequent to the execution of the Transition and Succession Agreements with Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Malik and Mauro, Mylan adopted a policy that no new Transition and Succession Agreements will provide for an excise tax gross-up for golden parachute payments. For legal and other considerations, the Transition and Succession Agreements currently in effect and executed prior to the new policy are not subject to that policy. Mylan does not have the right to unilaterally abrogate pre-existing binding contracts with its executives, and does not believe it would be in shareholders’ best interests to expend funds to “buy out” the executives from these rights. Since implementation of the new policy, no new or amended Transition and Succession Agreements with excise tax gross-up provisions have been executed. Consistent with this commitment, the Transition and Succession Agreements with Mr. Parks and Mr. Gallagher do not contain excise tax gross-ups. In addition, several of the contracts with excise tax gross-ups have expired as executives have ceased service with Mylan.

2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as Amended

 

 

The Amended 2003 Plan provides that, unless otherwise provided in an award agreement, at the time of a change in control (as defined in the Amended 2003 Plan), (i) each stock option and stock appreciation right outstanding will become immediately and fully exercisable, (ii) all restrictions applicable to awards of restricted stock and RSUs will terminate in full, (iii) all performance awards (with certain limited exceptions) will become fully payable at the maximum level and (iv) all other stock-based awards will become fully vested and payable.

Annual LTI awards contain “double trigger” vesting provisions that provide for accelerated vesting only if (i) there has been a change in control and (ii) an involuntary termination without cause or a voluntary resignation

for good reason occurs within two years following the change in control, unless otherwise specifically determined by the Compensation Committee.

A description of the material terms that apply to the LTI awards held by the NEOs, including the awards granted under the One-Time Special Five-Year Performance-Based Realizable Value Incentive Program, may be found in the footnotes to the Outstanding Equity Awards at the End of 2017 Table.

If a change in control and qualifying termination had occurred on December 31, 2017, the intrinsic value of vesting LTI awards held by the NEOs would have equaled approximately: for Ms. Bresch, $32,757,332; for Mr. Parks, $4,062,903; for Mr. Malik, $23,808,767; for Mr. Gallagher, $5,381,939; and for Mr. Mauro, $7,474,442.

CEO Pay Ratio

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

We determined that as of December 31, 2017, our total number of U.S. employees was approximately 6,308 and our total number of non-U.S. employees was approximately 25,520. We excluded from this employee population a total of 1,589 employees from:

 

Hungary (662)

 

Malaysia (58)

  

Albania (11)

  

Bahrain (2)

China (226)

 

Serbia (56)

  

Algeria (9)

  

Oman (2)

Russia (169)

 

Ukraine (50)

  

Armenia (7)

  

Ivory Coast (1)

Turkey (125)

 

Belarus (13)

  

Azerbaijan (5)

  

Kenya (1)

Thailand (97)

 

Bosnia and Herzegovina (12)

  

Qatar (3)

  

Mexico (66)

 

Kazakhstan (11)

  

Zambia (3)

  

The total number of employees from these non-U.S. jurisdictions was less than 5 percent of our total employee population.

To determine our median employee, 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 2017 and for any employees who were on leave for a portion of 2017. For hourly employees, we used a reasonable estimate of hours worked to determine annual base pay. We used a clustered sampling methodology to identify the median base salary within this employee population. Our median employee is a packaging operator located in Ireland, which reflects the true global nature of our organization and the fact that we are a diversified company within our peer group whose employees participate in all aspects of bringing our products to market, from R&D to manufacturing. This diversification should be considered by readers who would compare our CEO Pay Ratio to those within our peer or industry group and reflects differences in pay demographics among those groups.

Total annual compensation for the median employee was $40,270 and total annual compensation for the CEO was $12,763,539, resulting in a ratio of median employee total annual compensation to CEO total annual compensation of 317 to 1. Total annual compensation for the median employee and the chief executive officer is calculated according to the disclosure requirements of Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act and includes base salary, annual incentive, equity awards, change in pension values and other compensation such as perquisites and medical benefits.

Represents the grant date fair value of the specific award granted to the Non-Employee Director. Option awards and RSU awards granted in 2017 generally vested on March 3, 2018. For information regarding assumptions used in determining the amounts reflected in the table above, please refer to Note 11 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Original Filing. The aggregate number of ordinary shares subject to stock options held by the Non-Employee Directors, as of December 31, 2017, were as follows: Ms. Cameron, 11,293; Judge Cindrich, 11,293; Mr. Coury, 231,074; Ms. Dillon, 11,293; Mr. Dimick, 11,293; Ms. Higgins, 17,916; Mr. Leech, 11,293; Dr. Maroon, 11,293; Mr. Parrish, 11,293; Mr. Piatt, 67,850; Dr. Vanderveen, 11,293; and Mr. Vollebregt, 3,867.

Because of persistent and serious security concerns, the Board determined that Mr. Coury should be entitled to use Mylan’s aircraft for business and personal purposes. Aggregate incremental cost for personal aircraft usage for 2017 was $33,269, which was calculated in the same manner as described in footnote (b) to the Summary Compensation Table on page 35 of this Amendment. Also reflects costs relating to use of a company vehicle (based on lease value), insurance and ancillary expenses associated with such vehicle ($26,705), and costs relating to attendance at events, security services and tax preparation services related to U.K. tax returns.

Board and Committee Fees

In 2017, the Compensation Committee retained Meridian to provide the Committee with a market review of outside director compensation.

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

Table of Contents

In addition, in 2017, the Non-Employee Directors received the following additional fees for their service on Board committees, payable in each case, in four equal quarterly installments (pro-rated for any partial quarter):

Mr. Coury does not receive the Non-Employee Director fees described above, and instead receives a quarterly cash retainer of $450,000 and certain perquisites.

Non-Employee Directors are eligible to receive stock options or other grants under the Amended 2003 Plan. In March 2017, each Non-Employee Director, other than Messrs. Coury and Vollebregt, was granted an option to purchase 2,928 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $45.18 per share, the closing price per share of Mylan’s ordinary shares on the date of grant, which option, other than as described below, vested on March 3, 2018, and 3,653 RSUs, which also, other than as described below, vested on March 3, 2018. In June 2017, upon election to the Board, Mr. Vollebregt was granted an option to purchase 3,867 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $39.01 per share, the closing price per share of Mylan’s ordinary shares on the date of grant, which option vested on March 3, 2018, and 4,230 RSUs, which also vested on March 3, 2018. Mr. Coury did not receive any equity awards in 2017. As described in the 2017 Proxy Statement, Mr. Coury received an award of 1,000,000 RSUs in 2016, 75% of which will vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant and 25% of which will vest on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant, or earlier upon certain cessations of Mr. Coury’s services as Chairman or failure to be appointed to Mylan’s Board. Messrs. Leech, Maroon and Piatt were not nominated for re-election and retired from the Board effective June 22, 2017. In recognition of their long and dedicated service to Mylan, the other members of the Board voted to accelerate the vesting of their March 2017 option and RSU awards to their date of retirement. Non-Employee Directors also are eligible to receive tax-equalization payments for incremental tax liabilities, if any, incurred as a result of attendance at board meetings in the U.K.

Ordinary Share Ownership Requirements. Mylan’s Board has adopted ordinary share ownership requirements for Non-Employee Directors, requiring each to hold ordinary shares valued at three times their annual retainer as long as they remain on the Board. Each Non-Employee Director has five years from his or her initial election to the Board to achieve this requirement. The policy was adopted to further demonstrate alignment of directors’ interests with shareholders’ for the duration of their service. As of December 31, 2017, all Non-Employee

Directors satisfied this ownership requirement, with the exception of Mr. Vollebregt, who became a director on June 22, 2017, and is required to satisfy the ownership requirements by June 2022. If Ms. van der Meer Mohr and Mr. Korman are elected to Mylan’s Board at the 2018 AGM, they will be required to satisfy the ownership requirements by June 2023.

 

ITEM 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

Certain information concerning securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans is contained in the discussion entitled “Equity Compensation Plan Information” in Item 12 of Part III of the Original Filing.

Security Ownership of Directors, Nominees and Executive Officers

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of ordinary shares of Mylan N.V. as of April 25, 2018 by (i) Mylan N.V.’s directors, nominees and NEOs, and (ii) all directors, nominees and executive officers of Mylan N.V. as a group (based on 515,420,019 ordinary shares of Mylan N.V. outstanding as of such date). For purposes of this table, and in accordance with the rules of the SEC, shares are considered “beneficially owned” if the person, directly or indirectly, has sole or shared voting or investment power over such shares. A person also is considered to beneficially own shares that he or she has the right to acquire within 60 days of April 25, 2018. To Mylan N.V.’s knowledge, the persons in the following table have sole voting and investment power, either directly or through one or more entities controlled by such person, with respect to all the shares shown as beneficially owned by them, unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes below. The address for each beneficial owner listed in the table below is c/o Mylan N.V., Building 4, Trident Place, Mosquito Way, Hatfield, Hertfordshire, AL10 9UL, England.

ITEM 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Based on a review of the transactions between Mylan and its directors and executive officers, their immediate family members, and their affiliated entities, Mylan has determined that since the beginning of 2017, it was a party to the following transactions in which the amount involved exceeded $120,000 and in which any of Mylan’s directors, executive officers, or greater than five percent shareholders, or any of their immediate family members or affiliates, have or had a direct or indirect material interest:

As previously disclosed, Mylan has engaged Coury Financial Group, LP (“CFG”), the principals of which are brothers of Robert J. Coury, Chairman, to provide certain services to Mylan. CFG is in the business of providing strategic corporate benefits advice and services, among others. Since approximately 1995, CFG and, in the past, other affiliated entities of CFG, have served as the broker in connection with several of the Company’s employee benefit programs. Effective January 1, 2015, Mylan’s arrangements with CFG provided for a fixed base fee of $37,500 per month to be paid by Mylan for a period of three years, corresponding to the term of agreements negotiated with certain benefit plan carriers and capping payments over that time period. In August 2017, the parties extended this contract on substantially the same terms for an additional three year period effective January 1, 2018. However, where required by law, CFG will continue to receive commissions directly from certain other benefit plan carriers, and in 2017 and early 2018, received payments totaling approximately $180,000 in commissions for these services directly from the insurance carriers (including payments for 2016 business paid in 2017).

As previously disclosed in the 2017 Proxy Statement, as a result of Mr. Coury concluding his service as an executive with the Company in 2016 he became entitled to receive certain benefits that he had earned over his fifteen year tenure with the Company. Based on the contractual terms of Mr. Coury’s 2011 Executive Employment Agreement, as amended, these benefits included, at Mr. Coury’s election on an annual basis, either personal use of the Company’s aircraft for up to 70 hours per year or a cash payment of approximately $1.5 million each year, for three years. With respect to 2017, Mr. Coury used the aircraft for 70 hours, which had an approximate dollar value of $546,000 based on the cost that would have been incurred if such benefit had been provided through a third-party vendor. We believe that this amount also represents a fair estimate of Mr. Coury’s interest in the transaction. We also note that Mr. Coury’s aircraft benefit had already been disclosed in the 2017 Proxy Statement as part of his compensation in 2016 but we are, based on SEC rules, now disclosing it again as a related person transaction because Mr. Coury remains a related person since he has continued to serve as a director of the Company (although his receipt of this benefit is not contingent on that service) and the benefit was provided by Mylan to Mr. Coury since January 1, 2017. We anticipate providing a similar benefit to Mr. Coury for the rest of 2018 and in 2019.

Under the terms of the 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan and the Restoration Plan, Mr. Coury, like other similarly situated participants, was entitled to the five percent profit sharing contribution approved by Mylan’s Compensation Committee in February 2017 to employees who participated in the Company’s U.S. retirement plans in 2016. As a result, in March 2017 Mylan made a $13,250 profit sharing payment to Mr. Coury’s 401(k) account and a $191,850 profit sharing payment to Mr. Coury’s Restoration Plan account. Mr. Coury’s contribution was made in respect of certain compensation earned as an executive with the Company in 2015 and 2016 prior to the conclusion of such service.

Douglas J. Leech served on Mylan’s Board in 2017 from January 1 to June 22, 2017, and Neil Dimick is a current member of our Board and has been a director since 2005. Messrs. Dimick and Leech, like each member of our Board, are parties to indemnification agreements with the Company. The Company has been advised by counsel to each of Messrs. Dimick and Leech that counsel has unbilled fees of approximately $190,000 and $80,000 for services provided to Mr. Dimick and Mr. Leech, respectively, and that counsel currently anticipates billing additional fees of $10,000 and $70,000 for ongoing services to be provided to Messrs. Dimick and Leech, respectively, related to providing information in connection with the previously disclosed SEC related party investigation.

Rajiv Malik is an executive officer of the Company and is party to an employment agreement with Mylan Inc., which contains standard indemnification provisions. The Company has made payments to counsel to Mr. Malik of approximately $277,000 in 2017 and $235,000 in 2018 for services provided to Mr. Malik in connection with certain previously disclosed drug pricing matters. The Company anticipates making additional payments of approximately $1.3 million in 2018 for ongoing services to be provided to Mr. Malik in connection with such matters.

Mylan anticipates additional payment, repayment or advancement of these and other expenses during the pendency of the aforementioned matters and anticipates that it will make payments for any such claims.

On February 27, 2015, the EPD Transaction was completed pursuant to which Mylan N.V. issued 110,000,000 ordinary shares (worth approximately $6.31 billion at the time) to various Abbott affiliates and pursuant to which Abbott became a holder of over five percent of Mylan N.V.’s outstanding ordinary shares. On March 24, 2017, Abbott reported that, as a result of a sale transaction on March 23, 2017, it was no longer a holder of over five percent of Mylan N.V.’s outstanding ordinary shares. As previously disclosed, at the closing of the EPD Transaction, Mylan, Abbott, and certain of their affiliates also entered into ancillary agreements providing for transition services, manufacturing relationships and license arrangements. In addition to these ancillary agreements, from January 1, 2017 to March 23, 2017, Abbott and Mylan have entered into or engaged in ordinary course, arm’s length transactions with each other. From January 1, 2017 to March 23, 2017, Mylan received inventory and services from Abbott pursuant to those ancillary agreements, and also received inventory and services pursuant to separate ordinary course, arm’s length transactions, totaling approximately $34 million (substantially all of which related to the ancillary agreements). During this time period, Mylan also provided inventory and services pursuant to those ancillary agreements to Abbott totaling approximately $16 million.

In 2013, Mylan’s Board approved a written related party transactions policy that establishes guidelines for reviewing and approving transactions involving any director or certain executives in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $25,000; (2) Mylan or an affiliate of Mylan is a participant; and (3) any related party has or will have a direct or indirect interest. The Board also annually reviews certain relationships and related party transactions as part of its assessment of each director’s independence.

Director Independence

Mylan’s Board has determined that Ms. Cameron, Judge Cindrich, Ms. Dillon, Mr. Dimick, Ms. Higgins, Mr. Parrish, Dr. Vanderveen and Mr. Vollebregt are independent directors under the applicable NASDAQ listing standards. In making these determinations, the Board considered, with respect to Ms. Dillon’s independence, that the Mylan Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization that is a separate entity from Mylan but funded by the Company, made a grant to a private, non-profit educational institution attended by Ms. Dillon’s minor children. The grant was not requested by Ms. Dillon nor made in the name of her children and Ms. Dillon had no role in the consideration or vote approving the grant. With regard to Ms. Dillon, the Board determined that any such arrangements, transactions or relationships do not interfere with the exercise of independent judgment by Ms. Dillon in carrying out her responsibilities as a director of Mylan.

Ms. Bresch and Mr. Malik are not independent directors due to their current service as Mylan’s CEO and President, respectively. Mr. Coury is not an independent director under applicable NASDAQ listing standards due to his employment by Mylan Inc. during the past three years, most recently as Executive Chairman until June 24, 2016. All non-executive directors of Mylan’s Board other than Mr. Coury are considered to be independent within the meaning of best practice provision 2.1.8 of the DCGC.

As disclosed in the 2017 Proxy Statement, Mylan’s Board had previously determined that Joseph C. Maroon, M.D., Douglas J. Leech and Rodney L. Piatt – each of whom served on the Board until June 22, 2017 – were independent directors under the applicable NASDAQ listing standards. In making those prior determinations, the Board considered at the time, with respect to Dr. Maroon’s independence, that his daughter has worked for Mylan during one or more of the past several years. With respect to Mr. Piatt’s independence, the Board considered at the time that in 2016 and earlier years, Mylan paid minimal membership costs for several employees and sponsored events at a facility indirectly owned, in part, by Mr. Piatt. The Board also considered at the time that Mr. Piatt is a prominent member of the Southpointe community, in which Mylan’s headquarters is located, and that he has, and has had in the past, ownership interests in certain properties in the Southpointe community. Mr. Piatt has also been involved in the development of Southpointe and in various routine matters related to the upkeep and maintenance of the neighborhood and associated utilities, as has Mylan. With regard to both Dr. Maroon and Mr. Piatt, the Board had previously determined that any such arrangements, transactions or relationships did not interfere with the exercise of independent judgment by those directors in carrying out their responsibilities as a director of Mylan.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy

Under the policy, the Committee must 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 2017 and 2016 were pre-approved by the Committee in accordance with its policy.
