Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers, and beneficial owners of 10% or more of our shares of common stock to file reports with the SEC about their ownership of and transactions in our common stock. Based solely on our review of reports filed with the SEC and written representations from our executive officers and directors, we believe that all reports required to be filed under Section 16(a) during fiscal 2024 were timely filed, except for one Form 4 filed on July 7, 2023 for director J. Martin Carroll to report the grant of restricted stock units on July 1, 2023.

Insider Trading Arrangements and Policies

We have adopted an Insider Trading Policy governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by our directors, officers and employees, as well as by Catalent itself, that we believe is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and NYSE listing standards. The foregoing summary of the Insider Trading Policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Insider Trading Policy attached to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”) as Exhibit 19.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Standards of Business Conduct

Director Nomination Process

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”) considers and recommends the annual slate of director nominees for approval by our Board. The Nominating Committee considers a number of factors and principles in making its recommendations, including the following:

•

individual qualifications, including strength of character, mature judgment, familiarity with our business and industry, independence of thought, an ability to work collegially, and all other factors it considers appropriate, which may include age, gender, and ethnic and racial background

•

existing commitments to other businesses or any other board of directors (or similar body)

•

potential conflicts of interest with other pursuits

•

legal considerations, such as antitrust issues

•

corporate governance background

•

varied and relevant career experience

•

relevant technical skills and education

•

relevant business or government acumen

•

financial and accounting background

•

executive compensation background

•

the size, composition, and combined expertise of the existing Board

Although our Board and Nominating Committee consider diversity of viewpoints, background, and experiences when identifying and reviewing candidates for our Board, our Board does not have a separate diversity policy. In identifying and evaluating prospective director candidates, the Nominating Committee may seek referrals and assistance from other members of our Board, management, shareholders, and other sources, including third-party search consultants. The Nominating Committee uses the same criteria for evaluating candidates regardless of the source of the referral. When considering director candidates, the Nominating Committee seeks individuals with backgrounds and qualities that, when combined with those of our incumbent directors, provide a blend of skills and experiences to further enhance our Board’s effectiveness.

Shareholders may nominate directors for election by following the provisions set forth in our bylaws concerning such matters. The Nominating Committee, in accordance with our Governance Guidelines, will consider the qualifications of any nominee proposed by one or more shareholders in the same manner in which it evaluates any other candidate.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

The members of the Audit Committee are Jack Stahl (Chair), Rolf Classon, Gregory T. Lucier and Michelle R. Ryan. All members of the Audit Committee are “independent” in accordance with the NYSE listing standards and SEC rules applicable to boards of directors in general and audit committee members in particular. Our Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in SEC rules.

ITEM 11.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Executive Summary

Our executive compensation program is intended to attract, motivate, retain, and reward our leadership in a manner that will align their interests with those of our shareholders on an annual and long-term basis and promote sustainable shareholder value creation. We believe attracting, motivating, retaining, and rewarding superior talent is needed to maintain and improve our performance and shareholder returns. We therefore seek to maintain a competitive program that ties a significant portion of executive pay to our financial and stock price performance.

The following is a summary of important aspects of our executive compensation program.

Balanced mix of pay components and incentives. Our compensation program targets a market-based mix of cash and equity compensation, and of short- and long-term incentives. The principal elements of our program are base salary; performance-based annual bonus; and long-term equity awards, split 67/33 between performance-contingent (PSUs and stock options) and time-vested (RSUs).

Pay for Performance. We emphasize pay-for-performance to align executive compensation with our business strategy. Approximately 90% of the target total direct compensation of our CEO in 2024 was variable or performance-based.

Share Retention. Our Compensation and Leadership Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) has established stock ownership guidelines directing our executive officers to hold a multiple of annual salary in the form of shares of common stock in order to align management and shareholder interests.

Pledging and Hedging. Our executives are prohibited from pledging our shares (absent our General Counsel’s permission, which has never been granted) or hedging against the economic risk of such ownership.

Use of Independent Consultant. The Compensation Committee has engaged an independent, third-party consultant, Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (“FW Cook”), to assist it in designing our compensation program and making compensation decisions.

Clawback/Forfeiture Provisions. The terms of our long-term, equity-based awards and our short-term, cash-based award plan allow us in certain circumstances to “claw back” shares and cash received pursuant to such awards or, in the case of the equity-based awards, to require the repayment of all gains realized on the vesting or exercise of such awards.

Compensation Peer Group. The Compensation Committee uses a group of peer companies, selected with the assistance of FW Cook to be aligned with corporate governance best practices, to benchmark target total direct compensation levels, other executive compensation-related programs and policies, and benefit packages.

Shareholder Say-on-Pay. At the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held in January 2024, our shareholders voted 97.31% in favor of our say-on-pay proposal, demonstrating their concurrence that our executive compensation program reflects a strong pay-for-performance orientation. In fiscal 2024, the Compensation Committee considered the outcome of the shareholder advisory vote when making decisions relating to the compensation of our named executive officers (“NEOs”) and our executive compensation program and policies.

Overview of 2024 Executive Compensation

2024 COMPENSATION CONSIDERATIONS

In fiscal 2024, we remained steadfast in our commitment to attract, motivate, retain, and reward our leadership team, and implemented strategic adjustments to our compensation programs to further enhance the flexibility and accountability of our leadership team. We revised the fiscal 2024 management incentive plan (“MIP”) for our executive leadership team (“ELT”), including our NEOs, by (1) eliminating the 30% individual performance factor, (2) increasing the business performance factor weighting to 100%, and (3) introducing an individual performance modifier for MIP payment adjustments (i) for the ELT, based on our CEO’s recommendations, and (ii) for each of the CEO and Executive Chair, based on the Compensation Committee’s evaluation of his contributions. Additionally, we introduced Free Cash Flow, as defined below, as a third performance metric for determining the business performance factor of the MIP for NEOs and certain employees with the business performance factor based on our consolidated financial results.

For fiscal 2024, the business performance factor payout percentage was initially determined to be 69% of target. With respect to the three performance metrics used to determine such business performance factor, our fiscal 2024 financial performance resulted in Budget-Based Revenue being up by 1.4%, Budget-Based EBITDA missing target at 9.4%, and Free Cash Flow below target resulting in a 0% payout (all three terms as defined below). As a result, the business performance-based compensation determined for and paid out in fiscal 2024 was below the target.

However, in light of certain qualitative and quantitative considerations presented by management, the Compensation Committee adjusted the business performance factor payout percentage from 69% to 93% of target for the entire Company. These qualitative and quantitative considerations included management:

Successfully delivering the signing of a transformational deal with Novo Holdings, adding significant value to shareholders and setting up Catalent for a stronger, more secure future;

Remediating regulatory inspection deficiencies, correcting operations at our Bloomington and BWI sites, and exiting the year returning toward normalized margins;

Improving financial reporting and controls, including on-time filing of financials, remediating material weaknesses, increasing control robustness, and navigating a mid-year change in audit firm;

Successfully delivering Free Cash Flow objectives;

Making significant progress on difficult restructuring initiatives; and

Upgrading critical leadership roles for retention purposes across the executive and senior leadership teams.

Additionally, our financial performance in fiscal 2024 resulted in materially lower payouts under the long-term incentive program compared to fiscal 2023 payouts. Our Relative Return PSUs, as described below, for the fiscal 2022-2024 performance period had a 0% payout, and our Adjusted EPS PSUs, as described below, for the same period vested at 0%. Similarly, the values of time-vested RSUs at their vesting in early fiscal 2025 were materially lower than their values at the time of their grant due to the decline in our stock price compared to early fiscal 2022 when they were awarded. As of the end of fiscal 2024, outstanding PSUs aligned to the fiscal 2023-2025 performance period are tracking meaningfully below target, while the fiscal 2024-2026 performance period PSUs are tracking above target.

EXECUTIVE PAY MIX FOR 2024

The majority of target total direct compensation for our NEOs during fiscal 2024 consisted of variable pay elements. The Compensation Committee believes this allocation aligns with our pay-for-performance compensation philosophy of motivating our NEOs to achieve our performance objectives in the short-term and to grow the business to create sustainable value for our shareholders in the long term.

(1)

Does not include other compensation, pension values and nonqualified deferred compensation earnings, which are shown in the Summary Compensation Table below. Mr. Maselli’s LTIP target remained at $5,500,000; however, he received a one-time increase in his long-term incentives which resulted in an LTIP target value of $6,875,000 for fiscal 2024, which is represented in the chart above.

(2)

Per the terms of Mr. Masanovich’s offer letter, his initial LTIP target is $5,000,000, which is represented in the chart above. In fiscal 2025, Mr. Masanovich’s LTIP target will be $2,500,000. Mr. Hopson’s LTIP target is $450,000; however, he received a one-time increase in his long-term incentives to recognize his role as Interim CFO resulting in an LTIP target value of $650,000 for fiscal 2024, which is represented in the chart above.

Our Executive Compensation Program

OUR COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY AND PRINCIPLES

Our executive compensation program ties pay delivery to the successful execution of our overall business goals and adherence to our core values, which we believe best serves the interests of our shareholders. We believe that attracting, motivating, retaining, and rewarding superior executive talent is a key to delivering attractive shareholder returns, and that an appropriately structured executive compensation program is critical to that end, with each element supporting the achievement of our compensation philosophy.

Our executives must be of a caliber and level of experience necessary to manage our complex, global business effectively. Given the long-cycle nature of most of our businesses, the complexity and highly regulated nature of our operations, and the competitive nature of our industry, it is especially important for us to retain our executive talent to ensure continuity of management. We seek to implement this philosophy by following three key principles:


• Competitive compensation. Providing a competitive compensation opportunity that enables us to attract, motivate, retain, and reward superior executive talent.		• Alignment with shareholder interests. Aligning our executives’ interests with our shareholders’ through equity compensation, short- and long-term absolute and relative performance metrics and share retention guidelines.

• Linking compensation to performance. Fostering a pay-for-performance philosophy by tying a significant portion of pay to financial and stock-price performance as well as other goals that support the creation of sustainable long-term shareholder value.

The Compensation Process

THE ROLE OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE, ITS CONSULTANT, AND MANAGEMENT

The Compensation Committee oversees the compensation program for our CEO and our other executive officers, including our other NEOs. Management typically formulates new proposals concerning executive compensation, including, but not limited to salary levels, the form and content of various incentive or other compensation programs, and benefits such as healthcare and retirement programs (though management does not propose or otherwise participate in the setting of our CEO’s compensation). All management proposals as they relate to our NEOs are subject to Compensation Committee review and approval. The Compensation Committee has retained an independent consultant, FW Cook, to help it fulfill its responsibilities, including its review of management proposals. Among other things, FW Cook benchmarks compensation levels using available market data and trends and the Comparison Group approved by the Compensation Committee (see discussion of Comparison Group below). In compliance with the NYSE’s listing standards and SEC rules, the Compensation Committee in April 2024 conducted its annual independence assessment of FW Cook and concluded that it remains independent of management and that its work did not raise any conflict of interest.

THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE’S PROCESS

In accordance with its charter, the Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other duties:

•

reviewing and approving our overall executive compensation philosophy;

•

overseeing the administration of compensation and benefit programs, policies, and practices;

•

reviewing and approving the identification of our peer companies with respect to various benchmarking activities and data sources used in evaluating our compensation competitiveness;

•

evaluating the performance of the CEO against performance goals and objectives approved by our Board; and

•

approving the performance metric and corresponding goals, evaluating the performance, and approving the compensation of our executive officers.

THE USE OF MARKET DATA IN DETERMINING COMPENSATION

The Compensation Committee considers numerous factors as it formulates, reviews, and approves pay components and the overall structure of our executive compensation program. Among these factors are survey data, scoped to focus on companies with revenue comparable to ours, and the compensation practices of select peer companies, which we refer to as the “Comparison Group.” In January 2023, the Compensation Committee reviewed the Comparison Group that would be used to inform pay decisions for fiscal 2024. After reviewing the fifteen companies in the Comparison Group, the Compensation Committee determined not to make any changes because it concluded that the group continued be appropriate from a size and industry perspective, which included the observation that Catalent’s $4.8 billion trailing four-quarter revenue at the time was above the $3.9 billion peer median trailing four-quarter revenue at the time.

The fifteen companies in the Comparison Group that informed compensation decisions for fiscal 2024 were:

•

Agilent Tech

•

Align Tech

•

Boston Scientific

•

Biogen

•

Bio-Rad Labs

•

Cooper Cos

•

Hologic

•

Horizon plc

•

Incyte

•

Jazz Pharma plc

•

Mettler-Toledo

•

Perrigo plc

•

STERIS plc

•

West Pharma Services

•

Vertex Pharma

The Compensation Committee also considers other factors in addition to the market benchmarks, including individual executives’ tenure, proficiency in role, and criticality to our performance. The Compensation Committee concluded that our pay strategy is appropriate to assure the attraction and retention of top talent in a competitive market. While the Compensation Committee considers peer and market data, it does not target a specific market position when determining executive target compensation levels. In addition to referencing market data, as described above, the Compensation Committee considered prior year compensation history and compensation levels of other Company executives to provide context for fiscal 2024 executive compensation.

Details of Total Direct Compensation Elements

For fiscal 2024, compensation paid to our NEOs consisted of base salary; short-term incentive pay in the form of participation in the MIP; equity-based, long-term incentive awards subject to multi-year time- and performance-vesting criteria; and the opportunity to participate in certain benefit programs and other perquisites.

We generally review the base salary and other incentive compensation target amounts of our executive officers, including our NEOs, annually, consistent with the process for our employees generally.

BASE SALARY

Base salary is the principal fixed component of target total direct compensation for NEOs, and is determined by considering the executive’s job responsibilities, market data, and the individual’s performance and contributions.

MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN

SUMMARY

The MIP is an annual cash incentive program that rewards performance against annual individual and overall business goals. We extend MIP participation to a broad group of our executives, including our NEOs. The Compensation Committee selects the overall business goals applicable to the NEOs participating in the MIP from among the corporate financial and strategic growth objectives set each year by our Board.

In previous fiscal years, each participant’s target payout under the MIP was structured such that 70% of the payout was based on business goals applicable to that participant and 30% was based on the participant’s individual goals.

For fiscal 2024, we reassessed the MIP to determine whether adjustments were necessary to enhance the flexibility and accountability for our ELT. We updated the MIP, eliminating the formulaic application of individual performance factors and introducing a discretionary modifier based on the CEO’s evaluation of each executive officer’s contribution towards the Company’s financial results and qualitative performance.

Specifically:

(a)

The previous 30% individual performance factor was removed, and the business factor weighting was increased from 70% to 100%;

(b)

For members of the ELT, excluding the CEO and Executive Chair, a discretionary performance modifier ranging from 0-125% of each participant’s target was introduced, allowing adjustments to the MIP payment based on the CEO’s recommendations regarding each member’s individual contribution; and

(c)

For the CEO and Executive Chair, the discretionary performance modifier was determined by the Compensation Committee’s evaluation of their contributions.

In all cases set forth above, the MIP payouts, after applying the discretionary performance modifier, cannot exceed a maximum of 200% of the target amount.

Additionally, since fiscal 2022, the Compensation Committee has structured the business goals portion of our MIP around the achievement of two key metrics: the Budget-Based EBITDA goal and the Budget-Based Revenue goal, both defined under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of Item 11. Executive Compensation of this Annual Report. In fiscal 2024, the Committee expanded this framework by introducing a third performance metric, namely Free Cash Flow. This new metric, only applicable to participants with a business factor based on the Company’s consolidated financial results, is now included in the determination of the business goals portion of our MIP.

2024 PERFORMANCE TARGETS

To ensure alignment with our strategic financial objectives, the Compensation Committee refined the structure of our MIP for fiscal 2024 and based the business goals portion of our MIP on achievement of our Budget-Based EBITDA goal, our Budget-Based Revenue goal, and Free Cash Flow. The Compensation Committee uses the aforementioned performance metrics because:

(a)

it believes that they are important indicators of our increasing value and growth, as well as the overall financial health of the Company to pay down debt,

(b)

they are the primary measures by which we set and measure performance for the fiscal year,

(c)

they exclude certain items that would normally be part of a calculation of net earnings but that we believe are not representative of our core business, and

(d)

they are widely used measures of overall financial performance.

The Compensation Committee concluded for fiscal 2024 that (1) using a combination of these three measures would provide a balanced set of business performance targets that focus on growth, profitability, financial health, and the most efficient conversion of revenue to profit, (2) at the time the goals are set, the performance targets provide a reasonably achievable, but challenging, set of goals for our NEOs and other MIP participants, and (3) linking our NEOs’ bonuses to company-wide performance goals encourages collaboration across the executive leadership team. These goals are intended to incentivize all participants to maximize their performance for the benefit of our shareholders.

CALCULATING 2024 MIP AWARDS

As stated above, for fiscal 2024, the MIP awards for the ELT, including NEOs, are entirely based on business factor metrics, with a potential modifier to reward individual performance. The business performance factor comprises three key metrics: Budget-Based EBITDA, Budget-Based Revenue, and Free Cash Flow, with a weighting of 60% towards the Budget-Based EBITDA, 30% towards Budget-Based Revenue, and 10% towards Free Cash Flow.

For NEOs other than the CEO and Executive Chair, the performance modifier (if used) can adjust the calculated business factor up (cannot exceed 200% of target maximum) or down to a zero payout, reflecting CEO evaluation of each top executive’s contribution toward Catalent’s financial results and qualitative performance. For the CEO and Executive Chair, the performance modifier (if used) can adjust the calculated business factor up (cannot breach 200% of target maximum) or down to a zero payout, reflecting the Compensation Committee’s evaluation of the contribution of the CEO and Executive Chair toward Catalent’s financial results and qualitative performance. For fiscal 2024, the CEO recommended to apply the modifier for Mr. Masanovich in the amount of $140,000 and for Mr. Hopson in the amount of $42,000, and the Compensation Committee approved.

When determining MIP awards, with respect to Budget-Based EBITDA and Budget-Based Revenue, the Compensation Committee used a matrix approach that simultaneously evaluates performance of the Budget-Based EBITDA and Budget-Based Revenue components comprising 90% of the business-goal portion of the MIP, as described above. With respect to Free Cash Flow, this factor is not linear and has no proration between thresholds, producing one of three results: 0%, 100% or 200%.

Performance at target for each of the metrics results in achievement of the business-goal portion of the MIP award at 100% of a participant’s target amount. With respect to the Budget-Based EBITDA and Budget-Based Revenue, performance below or above the targets, subject to a range of 80% to 125% and a minimum 80% achievement of Budget-Based EBITDA target, results in an achievement of 90% of the business-goal portion of the MIP award in the manner set forth in the following table (at 0-200% of target), with linear interpolation applied for results that fall between two consecutive revenue or EBITDA achievement levels:


		Revenue Goal Achievement (as a percentage of budget)
		<80%	80%	85%	90%	95%	100%	105%	110%	115%	120%	125%
EBITDA Goal Achievement (as a percentage of budget)	<80%	0%	0%	0%	0%	0%	0%	0%	0%	0%	0%	0%
	80%	32%	32%	39%	46%	53%	60%	62%	64%	66%	68%	70%
	85%	49%	49%	49%	56%	63%	70%	72%	74%	76%	78%	80%
	90%	66%	66%	66%	66%	73%	80%	80%	80%	80%	80%	80%
	95%	75%	75%	75%	78%	85%	85%	85%	85%	85%	85%	85%
	100%	90%	95%	95%	95%	96%	100%	105%	110%	115%	115%	115%
	105%	95%	98%	100%	104%	109%	113%	120%	125%	125%	125%	125%
	110%	100%	109%	113%	117%	122%	126%	133%	140%	140%	140%	140%
	115%	104%	122%	126%	130%	135%	139%	146%	153%	160%	160%	160%
	120%	117%	135%	139%	143%	148%	152%	159%	166%	173%	175%	175%
	125%	130%	148%	152%	156%	161%	165%	172%	179%	186%	193%	200%

Achievement by each participant, including each of our NEOs, against Catalent’s financial performance and for non-NEOs, including financial and individual performance, can result in payment of the MIP award between 0% and 200% of the target amount. The target amount for each participant in our MIP, including each of our NEOs, is a fixed sum and is reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee, consistent with the process for our employees generally.

CLAWBACK/FORFEITURE

Participation in the MIP may be cancelled or forfeited and repaid to us if the participant engages in any “Detrimental Activity,” including but not limited to fraud, breaches of restrictive covenants, and disparagement of the company, as defined in the 2018 Omnibus Plan. In addition, if a participant receives any amount in excess of what the participant should have received for any reason (including by reason of a financial restatement, mistake in calculation, or other administrative error), the participant must repay the excess. Without limiting the foregoing, all MIP awards are subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law.

In October 2023, the Company adopted a Clawback Policy in accordance with Section 10D of the Exchange Act and Rule 10D-1 promulgated thereunder and the NYSE listing standards.

2024 MIP AWARDS

The business performance goals and achievement levels for fiscal 2024, which collectively represented 100% of each NEO’s overall target MIP award, are as follows (in millions of U.S. dollars, using our internal budget-based currency exchange rates, or percentages):


Performance Measure	Threshold / Target / Maximum Performance⁽¹⁾		Actual Performance			Business Performance Factor Payout Percentage			Adjusted Business Performance Factor Payout Percentage
Budget-Based Revenue	$	3,467 / $4,334 / $5,418	$	4,395			69	%		93	%
Budget-Based EBITDA	$	630 / $788 / $985	$	714
Free Cash Flow	$	65 / $65 / $212	$	(59	)

⁽¹⁾	When calculating Budget-Based EBITDA, Budget-Based Revenue and Free Cash Flow performance, the target, threshold, and maximum are adjusted by the Compensation Committee for the projected performance from completed acquisitions over the measurement period.

The CEO, together with the Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer during fiscal 2024, evaluated the individual performance of each of our executive officers, including the NEOs other than the CEO, based on each individual’s fiscal 2024 goals and objectives. After considering the individual’s performance as well as their contribution to the financial results of the Company, management determined a recommended MIP award for each such executive officer, which they presented to the Compensation Committee. In approving MIP awards for the NEOs other than the CEO, the Compensation Committee considered our financial performance in fiscal 2024 and the individual assessment of performance and accomplishments relative to their respective goals and objectives.

The CEO also presented to the Compensation Committee an assessment of his own individual performance, which the Compensation Committee evaluated in determining the CEO’s MIP award. The CEO’s MIP award was based on his fiscal 2024 goals and objectives in the areas of: (1) delivering on financial commitments in net revenue, EBITDA, working capital improvements, cost savings and capex; (2) improving operating performance while continuing to strengthen Catalent’s foundation; (3) optimizing Catalent’s portfolio’s potential and unlocking each division’s contribution to the collective whole; (4) maintaining organizational vitality and culture; and (5) restoring investor confidence. The Compensation Committee did not assign weights in considering these areas, but took account of the differing levels of focus in each area as the year progressed. After consideration of all of these factors, the Compensation Committee decided to award the CEO a MIP bonus for fiscal 2024.

The Executive Chair presented to the Compensation Committee an assessment of his own personal performance, which the Compensation Committee evaluated in determining the Executive Chair’s MIP award. The Executive Chair’s 2024 goals and objectives included the following: (1) coaching and mentoring the CEO and ELT; (2) effectively leading the Board and Strategic and Operational Review Committee in the evaluation of operational improvement opportunities and strategic options for the future; (3) on-boarding the CFO; (4) leading, along with the CEO, an effective succession planning process for Catalent’s leadership team; (5) guiding the Catalent’s M&A strategy and portfolio transformation strategy; and (6) leading the Board by working with the CEO and Lead Independent Director to set effective Board meeting agendas and effectively manage Board meetings. After consideration of all of these factors, the Compensation Committee decided to award the Executive Chair a MIP bonus for fiscal 2024.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARDS

Our long-term incentive compensation program is potentially available to all our employees, including our NEOs, and includes one or some combination of three types of equity-based awards:

•

time-based stock options, in which there is a fixed grant to the recipient subject only to a time- and service-based vesting requirement;

•

time-based RSUs, in which there is a fixed grant to the recipient subject only to a time- and service-based vesting requirement; and

•

performance-based PSUs, in which vesting is based on the achievement of pre-established performance criteria over a multi-year performance period, subject to continuing service through the date of certification of final performance by the Compensation Committee.

By awarding grants with multi-year performance or vesting periods, we appropriately align program participants with the long-term best interests of our shareholders. Those interests are also protected by restrictive covenants that are imposed on our participants, including a confidentiality obligation, a limitation on competing with us for the greater of one-year post-departure and the final vesting of outstanding equity-based awards, and an agreement not to solicit our employees for one year after leaving our employ.

With the exception of Mr. Greisch, awards to our NEOs for the fiscal 2024-2026 performance period, awarded in early fiscal 2024, were divided into PSUs (with the target number of shares providing 34% of the target value awarded), stock options (33% of the target value awarded), and RSUs (33% of the target value awarded). The change in the mix of LTIP awards from fiscal 2023 was the result of an inability to set meaningful long-term financial goals in early fiscal 2024 due to the business challenges at the time, and the Compensation Committee’s desire to maintain a strong focus on performance by up-weighting both the relative TSR PSUs and the options such that a total of two-thirds of the LTIP mix of awards is in an “at-risk” award type.

Per the terms of Mr. Greisch’s employment agreement, his fiscal 2024-2026 LTIP award composed of 75% stock options and 25% PSUs. In turn, the target value awarded as PSUs was granted in the form of relative total shareholder return (“Relative Return”), as described below in this section. The target size for our NEOs’ LTIP awards was set by the Compensation Committee using a market-based determination of LTIP grant value, individual performance, and other factors.

Awards to our NEOs for the fiscal 2024-2026 performance period, awarded in early fiscal 2024 under our LTIP were generally determined and approved by the Compensation Committee on a dollar-value basis, which is then translated into a fixed or target number of options, RSUs, or PSUs by dividing the award by the per-instrument price, using a Black-Scholes valuation for options, grant date share price for RSUs, and the value derived from a Monte Carlo pricing model for Relative Return PSUs, and then rounding up to the nearest whole number of shares. Subject to the recipient’s continued service with us through each applicable vesting date, options vest in equal installments over the first four anniversaries of the grant date, RSUs vest one-third on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date, and PSUs vest when and if we determine that the performance criteria are met at the end of the three-year performance period. The continued service requirement is waived in the event of a participant’s disability or retirement in accordance with the “Rule of 65,” which applies if a participant retires on or after the date on which the sum of the participant’s age and period of service with us equals sixty-five (65) years, so long as they are at least the age of fifty-five (55) and give at least six-months’ notice and, beginning with grants awarded in fiscal 2021, have completed at least five years of service with us.

The performance criteria for the PSUs granted during fiscal 2024 are as follows:

•

Relative Return is the percentile rank of our total shareholder return during the 3-year performance period relative to the total shareholder return of each of the companies comprising the S&P 500 Healthcare Index (with total shareholder return being the change in the price per share over the performance period, assuming reinvestment of dividends, if any, paid during the performance period). There were 66 other companies, including Catalent, in the comparison group at the start of the fiscal year 2024-2026 three-year performance period.

•

Achievement of the median Relative Return will earn the participant the number of shares equal to 100% of the target number of Relative Return PSUs. At the 25^th percentile, 50% of target will be earned, with no shares earned for achievement below that threshold. At the maximum achievement level of the 75^th percentile, the resulting earnout is at 150% of target. Earnouts are interpolated for levels of achievement between threshold and target, and between target and maximum. In addition, earnouts on our Relative Return PSUs are subject to an additional cap so that the total value of the shares earned at payout cannot exceed 300% of the grant date value of such incentive awards.

The Compensation Committee believes that the performance targets for the Relative Return PSUs represent reasonably achievable but challenging goals and are intended to incentivize all participants to maximize their performance for the long-term benefit of our shareholders.

Note that Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure, is not a measure of operating income, operating performance, or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and is subject to important limitations. For a discussion of these measures and how they reconcile to our results reported under U.S. GAAP, please see the heading “Non-GAAP Metrics” under Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the 2024 Annual Report and the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of Item 11. Executive Compensation of this Annual Report.

FISCAL 2022-2024 PSU PERFORMANCE

In fiscal 2022, the Compensation Committee granted PSUs representing 50% of the total long-term incentives to executives for the fiscal 2022-2024 performance period, awarded one-half as Adjusted EPS PSUs and one-half as Relative Return PSUs. These PSUs issued in respect of the fiscal 2022-2024 performance period vested in fiscal 2025 at a performance level of 0% of target for the Adjusted EPS PSUs and 0% of target for the Relative Return PSUs earned by our NEOs.

EQUITY GRANT PRACTICES

Effective in 2021 for the fiscal 2022-2024 LTIP performance period, the Compensation Committee approved a fixed grant date of July 26^th for purposes of awarding the annual LTIP to executives, which includes options and RSUs. The Compensation Committee generally meets at their scheduled July meeting or by written consent (if needed), which is typically scheduled prior to the July 26^th fixed date. In the event the grant date falls on a weekend, the fair market value will be based on the previous Friday’s closing stock price. For newly hired executives beginning employment after the annual July 26^th fixed date, the Compensation Committee will be presented with the executive’s LTIP award for approval, with the grant date typically coinciding with the executive’s date of hire. Throughout the year on a quarterly basis, LTIP-based equity awards are occasionally made to new hires and promoted employees. The Compensation Committee may delegate the authority to grant equity awards to eligible employees who are not Section 16 officers.

The Compensation Committee does not take material non-public information into account when determining the timing and terms of option awards, and the Company does not time the disclosure of such material non-public information for purposes of affecting the exercise price of the options or the value of executive compensation. In addition, the Company does not grant options during the four business days prior to or the one business day following the filing of a periodic report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, or the filing or furnishing of a Form 8-K that discloses material non-public information.

Other Benefits Under Our Executive Compensation Program

BENEFITS AND PERQUISITES

We provide to all our employees, including our NEOs, broad-based benefits that are intended to attract and retain employees while providing them with retirement and health and welfare security. Broad-based employee benefits available to our NEOs include:

•

a 401(k) savings plan for U.S. NEOs, and an equivalent plan under U.K. law for our U.K.-domiciled NEO, both of which provide for a partial employer match of employee contributions;

•

an employee stock purchase plan, allowing the purchase of shares of our common stock at a 10% discount;

•

medical, dental, vision, life and accident insurance, disability coverage, and health savings, dependent care, and healthcare flexible spending accounts; and

•

employee assistance program benefits.

Under our 401(k) savings plan and the equivalent U.K. plan, we match a portion of the funds set aside by the employee. In the U.S., we match 100% of up to 4% of eligible annual compensation contributed, up to federal tax law limits on both eligible compensation that may be considered for contribution and the amount employees may contribute. In the U.K., the plan provides for an employer matching contribution of 5.5-8% of eligible base salary compensation dependent on the participant contributing 3.5-6% of eligible base salary compensation.

Our employee stock purchase plan (the “Employee Stock Purchase Plan”) is designed to allow our eligible employees to purchase shares of our common stock at designated intervals at a discounted price of 10% through their accumulated payroll deductions or other contributions. Employees who are United States tax residents may benefit from favorable tax treatment as the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. In fiscal 2024, the employee stock purchase plan was offered to eligible employees from July 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024. As a result of the announced transaction with Novo Holdings, the employee stock purchase plan was suspended after the third quarter offering period ended on March 31, 2024.

We provide basic life and accident insurance coverage valued at two times the employee’s annual base salary at no cost to our employees. The employee may also select supplemental life and accident insurance, for a premium to be paid by the employee.

We also provide our NEOs with limited perquisites and personal benefits that are not generally available to all employees, such as financial counseling services. We provide these limited perquisites and personal benefits in order to further our goal of attracting and retaining our executive talent and to avoid unnecessary personal distractions that may impede maximum personal performance. These benefits and perquisites are reflected in the “All Other Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table and the accompanying footnotes in accordance with SEC rules.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

Our deferred compensation programs (collectively, the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) permit a broad group of U.S.- and U.K.-based executives, including all of our NEOs, to defer up to 80% of base salary, commissions (not applicable to NEOs), and MIP bonus. We credit the first 6% of cash compensation deferred with a matching contribution equal to 50% of the amount deferred. Participants are immediately vested in all amounts they contribute and the related investment gains, but matching contributions and their related investment gains vest ratably over the participant’s first four years of service. Participants may choose from a variety of investment options for the cash amounts deferred.

Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, we also credit each participant’s deferral account with notional earnings and/or losses based on the deemed investment of the accounts in one or more of a variety of investment alternatives selected by such participant. Participants may elect from a variety of forms of payout, including lump-sum payment and various types of annual installments, with the timing depending on the form selected.

In addition, our Deferred Compensation Plan permits U.S. participants to defer unvested incentive compensation grants (other than options) in order to delay recognition of income on these awards upon vesting; however, in June 2023, with the exception of the non-employee Directors, the Company decided to suspend equity deferrals from the Deferred Compensation Plan for eligible U.S. participants.

Cash and equity deferrals, company contributions, and applicable gains are held in a “rabbi” trust. “Rabbi” trust assets are ultimately controlled by us. Operating the Deferred Compensation Plan this way permits participants to defer recognition of income for tax purposes on the amounts deferred until they are paid to the participants.

Our U.S.- and U.K.-based directors can also participate in the Deferred Compensation Plan on the same terms as our executives, though they are not provided a matching contribution on their cash deferrals.

We believe that providing the NEOs and other eligible participants with deferred compensation opportunities is a market-based benefit plan necessary for us to deliver competitive benefit packages. Additional details of the Deferred Compensation Plan follow the table entitled “Fiscal 2024 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table,” following this Compensation Discussion & Analysis (“CD&A”) section.

SEVERANCE AND PAYMENTS ON A CHANGE OF CONTROL

Our NEOs are eligible for severance benefits in connection with a termination of employment and/or a change of control in certain circumstances. The amounts of such benefits and the conditions for their payment are described in the Fiscal 2024 Potential Payments upon Employment Termination or Change of Control Tables, including the accompanying notes.

Compensation Determinations for Fiscal 2024

We generally review the base salary and other incentive compensation target amounts of our executive officers, including our NEOs, annually, consistent with the process for our employees generally. For fiscal 2024, compensation paid to our NEOs consisted of base salary, short-term incentive pay in the form of participation in the MIP, equity-based, long-term incentive awards subject to multi-year time- and performance-vesting criteria, and the opportunity to participate in certain benefit programs and other perquisites.

The Compensation Committee observed at the beginning of fiscal 2022 that executive compensation opportunities were meaningfully low versus peer and market data overall and the Compensation Committee determined to move targeted pay levels over a multi-year period which resulted in larger pay increases than in the past for certain individuals, particularly in their long-term incentive award grant values. It continued with this strategy when setting fiscal 2024 target pay opportunities in July 2023 and the need to stabilize the business and retain key members of the team during a challenging time. Despite the target total direct compensation increases, and due to continued market movement, Catalent’s fiscal 2024 target total direct compensation levels for all NEOs collectively were generally at market.

EXECUTIVE STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES

Our executive stock ownership guidelines for our CEO and certain of our executives, including the other NEOs, set a multiple of each executive’s base salary as the amount of qualifying equity to be acquired and held by each executive. In assessing compliance with the guidelines, we count shares held outright, 50% of the value of unvested RSUs (or restricted stock issued in lieu thereof), and 100% of shares held in benefit plans, if any. Shares underlying stock options (vested or unvested) or unearned PSUs do not count toward achievement of the guidelines. Our guidelines by executive level are as follows:

Class of Executive

Multiple of Base Salary

CEO

Other NEOs

2.5X

If, on the date of any exercise of an option to purchase our common stock or the delivery of our common stock underlying any vested RSU or PSU, an executive has not reached the minimum ownership level under the guidelines, then the executive should retain and not sell that portion of the delivered shares whose market value is equal to at least 50% of the after-tax market value of all shares delivered on that date. For purposes of complying with this provision of the guidelines, the market value is equal to the average closing price per share of our common stock as reported on the NYSE for all trading days in the last month of the prior fiscal year.

All of our NEOs complied with these guidelines during fiscal 2024 and have remained in compliance through the date of this Annual Report.

HEDGING AND PLEDGING

Our Insider Trading Policy prohibits directors and all of our employees, including our executive officers, from engaging in any transactions that are designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of our securities, including, but not limited to, through the use of financial instruments such as exchange funds, variable forward contracts, equity swaps, puts, calls, and other derivative instruments, or through the establishment of a short position in our securities. Though our Insider Trading Policy allows the pledging by our directors and employees, including our executive officers, of our securities in situations approved by our General Counsel, our current policy and practice is that no such pledging is allowed.

RISK ASSESSMENT OF COMPENSATION PRACTICES AND POLICIES

With the assistance of its independent consultant, the Compensation Committee annually reviews our compensation program from a risk perspective. Based on that review, the Compensation Committee believes that our program is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us and our shareholders. Our compensation program achieves this by striking an appropriate balance between short-term and long-term incentives, using a diversity of metrics to assess performance and payout under our incentive programs, placing caps on our incentive award payout opportunities, and having stock ownership and retention requirements. For example, our current long-term equity incentive program incorporates our financial performance and stock price into its performance measures and generally magnifies the impact of changes in our stock price as well as Relative Return performance.

Represents the aggregate grant date fair market value of stock awards for fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022 computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, using the assumptions discussed in Note 14, “Stock-Based Compensation,” to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report. The amounts reported in this column assume, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, that the NEOs will receive or retain the target number of PSUs awarded to them in each such fiscal year. All of our NEOs received PSUs during fiscal year 2024. If, instead, the performance during the 2024-2026 performance period is such that the NEOs receive or retain the maximum number capable of being awarded (150% of target for Relative Return PSUs), the value of the PSU grants for 2024 would be as follows:


Name	ASC Topic 718 Value at Maximum ($)
Alessandro Maselli		3,506,262
Matti Masanovich		2,550,049
Ricky Hopson		344,266
John Greisch		1,402,560
Lisa Evoli		459,021
David McErlane		471,780

Relative Return PSUs are subject to market conditions, as opposed to performance conditions, and therefore do not have maximum grant date fair market values that differ from the grant date fair market values under FASB ASC Topic 718. The actual value of the PSUs, if any, that ultimately convert to shares of our common stock or are no longer subject to forfeiture, respectively, on the vesting dates will depend on (x) our share price on such dates and (y) our performance according to the applicable performance criteria.

The amount reported for Ms. Evoli for fiscal 2024 includes RSUs with a grant date fair market value of $1,000,012 granted on August 1, 2023 in connection with her offer letter. The amount reported for Mr. McErlane for fiscal 2024 represents RSUs with a grant date fair market value of $590,004 granted on September 25, 2023 in connection with his offer letter.

(5)

Reflects nonqualified stock options to acquire shares of our common stock. Amounts reported reflect the aggregate grant date fair market value computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 using the assumptions discussed in Note 14, “Stock-Based Compensation,” to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report.

(6)

Amounts reported reflect the MIP awards earned by our NEOs, which includes the portion of the MIP award, if any, each NEO elected to defer under the Deferred Compensation Plan, as applicable. The amount reported for Mr. Maselli in fiscal 2022 reflects a reduction to his MIP award in connection with the revisions to our audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2022 which impacted all NEOs who received a MIP payment for such fiscal year. The amount of the clawback was equal to approximately 3% of the value of the original fiscal 2022 MIP payout to each NEO for fiscal 2022 performance. Amounts reported for Mr. Maselli in fiscal 2021 and 2022 were denominated in U.K. pounds sterling and converted to U.S. dollars (as well as paid in U.S. dollars for fiscal 2021 and 2022) based on the average monthly currency exchange rates applicable to annual bonus payments in each period.

(7)	The amounts set forth as “All Other Compensation” for fiscal 2024 are further detailed below:


Name	Employer 401(k) Matching Contributions ($)^(A)		Employer Non - Qualified Deferred Compensation Matching Contributions ($)^(B)		Assignment- Related Allowances & Benefits ($)^(C)		Financial Services Reimbursement/Fees Paid by Employer ($)^(D)		Other ($)^(E)		Total ($)
Alessandro Maselli		13,800		—		351,276		20,263				385,339
Matti Masanovich		26,408		12,000		—		17,372		98,000		153,780

David McErlane		12,923		—		—		12,109		—		25,032

(A) Under our 401(k) Savings Plan, we match up to a maximum 4% of annual compensation contributed by participants, up to federal tax law limits on both eligible compensation and individual contributions.

(B) Represents company contributions under our Deferred Compensation Plans, representing 50% of each participant’s contribution up to the first 6% of eligible pay that such participant contributes to the plan, up to any applicable limit.

(C) Mr. Maselli received certain tax equalization benefits during fiscal 2024 in connection with his relocation from the United Kingdom and long-term assignment in the United States prior to fiscal 2023, resulting primarily from timing differences between the determination and payment of U.S. and U.K. taxes across multiple tax years. Such benefits are consistent with our standard policies and practices applicable, by location, to employees on long-term assignments.

(D) Each of the NEOs, pursuant to the terms of an employment agreement or otherwise, is entitled to services, which may be submitted in the form of a reimbursement, for the reasonable cost of financial services/planning, subject to an aggregate cap of $17,000 during each calendar year. The amounts reported in each fiscal year may differ from this cap due to timing differences between each fiscal year and calendar year. During fiscal 2024, Messrs. Maselli, Masanovich, Hopson, McErlane and Ms. Evoli received financial services/planning services in the amounts of $17,559, $17,372, $17,559, $12,109 and $14,737, respectively, applicable to calendar years 2023 and 2024. The amount reported in this column for Mr. Maselli includes $2,704 for tax preparation services paid in connection with his long-term assignment in the U.S. prior to fiscal 2023.

(E) The amount reported for Mr. Masanovich includes an aggregate stipend of $98,000 paid to offset travel costs from Florida to New Jersey from September 2023 through June 2024. The amount reported for Mr. Hopson includes (1) an aggregate stipend of $40,000 paid in connection with Mr. Hopson’s services as Interim Chief Financial Officer in supporting the fiscal 2023 compensation year-end planning process and facilitating the transition to the newly hired CFO from July 2023 through August 2023 and (2) $923 in connection with his cash-out from Catalent’s employee recognition platform, of which $575 included the gross-up amount for taxes. The amount reported for Ms. Evoli represents (1) contributions we made under our Catalent Cares matching gift program in the amount of $200 and (2) an aggregate stipend of $55,000 to offset commuting costs from Pennsylvania to New Jersey from August 2023 through June 2024. From time to time, family members of executives may accompany them on a business-related flight aboard a private aircraft. There is no incremental cost to the Company, and therefore no incremental costs are reflected in the amounts above, for the use of such flights by family members of executives.

(8)	We have not included columns reporting any amount as “Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings” because none of our NEOs received or earned any above-market or preferential earnings during fiscal 2022 to 2024.

(9)	Ms. Evoli and Messrs. Masanovich, Hopson, Greisch and McErlane did not qualify as NEOs in one or more previous years. Accordingly, disclosure of their compensation for such prior years is not required.

The amounts shown reflect PSUs granted to the NEOs during fiscal 2024. In fiscal 2024, the Compensation Committee set the performance metrics for the PSUs awarded under our LTIP using Relative Return. The final number of PSUs can range from 0-150% of the target number of Relative Return PSUs, depending on our achievement against the relevant performance metric established by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of the performance period. See the section in our CD&A entitled “Details of Total Direct Compensation Elements—Long-Term Incentive Awards” for a further description of our long-term incentive compensation program.

As described in the section of this Annual Report entitled “Fiscal 2024 Potential Payments Upon Employment Termination or Change in Control Tables,” the vesting of all or a portion of each option grant may potentially differ from the normal vesting schedule due to a change of control of our Company or certain terminations of employment.

(2)

The expiration dates shown represent the 10-year anniversary of each respective grant date. Options may terminate earlier under certain circumstances, such as in connection with an NEO’s termination of employment or in connection with certain corporate transactions, including a change of control of our Company.

(3)

The amounts shown for Messrs. Maselli and Hopson include RSUs scheduled to vest on July 26, 2024 and July 26, 2025.

No portion of the PSUs granted to Messrs. Maselli and Hopson on July 26, 2021 were earned based on performance relative to pre-determined Relative Return and Adjusted Earnings Per Share performance targets.

As described in the section of the 2024 Annual Report entitled “Fiscal 2024 Potential Payments Upon Employment Termination or Change in Control,” all or a portion of the RSUs or PSUs may vest earlier in connection with a change of control of our Company or certain terminations of employment

(4)	Shares/units are valued based on the $56.23 closing price per share of our common stock on June 28, 2024, as reported on the NYSE.

(5)

The number of shares and payout values reported include PSUs based on achieving the threshold payout percentage, Adjusted EPS PSUs and Relative Return PSUs that vest at the end of the three-year performance period ending on June 30, 2025. The remaining PSUs are based on achieving the maximum possible payout percentage, Relative Return PSUs that vest at the end of the three-year performance period ending on June 30, 2026. Actual PSU payout levels will be determined by the Compensation Committee following the end of each applicable three-year performance period beginning with the fiscal year in which such grant is made, based on actual performance levels achieved relative to the pre-determined performance targets.

The aggregate amount reported for Mr. Gresich under “Vested but Undelivered Deferred Share Units (DSUs)” in this column reflects the increase or (decrease) in fair market value between a) August 27, 2023 and June 30, 2024 of DSUs that vested in Fiscal 2024 and b) the increase or (decrease) in fair market value between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2024 of DSUs that vested prior to the fiscal 2024 year.

Includes amounts previously reported as compensation in the “Salary,” “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation,” and “All Other Compensation” columns in the Summary Compensation Table in prior years. The aggregate balance for Mr. Greisch under “Vested but Undelivered DSUs” in this column reflects the value of 6,632 fully vested but undelivered DSUs based on the $56.23 closing stock price per share of our common stock at the end of our fiscal year on June 28, 2024, as reported on the NYSE.

(5)	Messrs. Maselli and McErlane did not participate in the Deferred Compensation Plan during fiscal 2024.

Deferred Compensation

We provide certain of our U.S.- and U.K.-based executives, including our U.S.- and U.K.-based NEOs, with the opportunity to participate in the Deferred Compensation Plan, which allows participating executives to defer receipt of a portion of their compensation. Deferrals occur and may be invested notionally on a pre-tax basis, in addition to the amounts that the executive is allowed to contribute to our tax-qualified 401(k) and U.K. pension plans.

Deferred Compensation Plan participants may elect to defer up to 80% of base salary, commissions (not applicable to NEOs), and MIP bonus. The plan also allowed U.S.-based executives to elect deferring their PSU and RSU grants; however, in June 2023 and with the exception of the non-employee Directors, we decided to suspend the equity deferral process for calendar year 2024 due to the volatility of Catalent’s stock, as well as the fact that participants could not diversify from Catalent to other assets until their deferred shares are distributed. We credit the first 6% of cash compensation deferred with a matching contribution equal to 50% of the amount deferred. Participants are immediately vested in all amounts they contribute and the related investment gains, but matching contributions and their related investment gains vest ratably over the participant’s first four years of service to the Company. Participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan may elect from a variety of payout options under the plan, including lump-sum or installment payments, with the timing depending on the form selected at the time of the deferral election.

Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, we also credit each participant’s deferral account with notional earnings and/or losses based on the deemed investment of the accounts in one or more of a variety of investment alternatives available under the plan. Participants are able to make changes to their investment elections on a daily basis.

The accounts of U.S.-based participants in the prior version of the Deferred Compensation Plan that are paid out in a lump-sum cash payment are paid on the 15th day of the month immediately following the month that includes the six-month anniversary of the participant’s separation from our service (other than due to death) (“separation” as defined by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code). In the event of the death of a participant prior to the commencement of the distribution of benefits under the plan, such benefits will be paid no later than the later of (x) December 31 of the year in which the participant’s death occurs and (y) the 90^th day following the date of the participant’s death. The accounts for U.K.-based participants are paid in a lump sum cash payment in the next available paycheck following the elected distribution date.

A U.S.-based participant in the Deferred Compensation Plan may also elect to receive a payout in annual installments over a period of five or ten years after the participant’s separation from service (including death), although, notwithstanding any such election, the participant’s account will be paid in a lump-sum cash payment in connection with a participant’s separation from service within two years following a change of control. The Deferred Compensation Plan also permits participants to receive a distribution in connection with an unforeseeable emergency, in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

A U.K.-based participant receives a lump sum payout of all outstanding cash deferrals six months after the participant’s separation from service.

Cash and equity deferrals, employer contributions, and applicable gains are held in a “rabbi trust.” Rabbi trust assets are ultimately controlled by us, permitting participants to defer recognition of income for tax purposes on the amounts deferred until they are paid in accordance with their elections.

Our U.S.- and U.K.-based directors can also participate in the Deferred Compensation Plan by deferring receipt of their cash retainers, though they are not provided a matching contribution.

Fiscal 2024 Potential Payments upon Employment Termination or Change of Control Tables

The tables below set out what the specified NEOs would have received assuming a termination of employment effective as of June 30, 2024.

Termination by Us For Cause or By Mr. Maselli without Good Reason		—		—		—		—

(1)

Amounts reported for a termination by us without cause within 2 years following a change of control (assuming awards have been assumed, continued, or substituted) represent accelerated vesting of unvested equity-based awards and reflect (a) the “spread” value of the options, equal to $7.33 per share for 103,360 options (same in the case of death) granted on July 26, 2023, $0 per share for 33,321 options (same in the case of death) granted on July 26, 2022 (award is underwater as of June 30, 2024 and has no value), $0 per share for 7,784 options (same in the case of death) granted on July 26, 2021 (award is underwater as of June 30, 2024 and has no value), and $0 per share for 3,851 options (same in the case of death) granted on July 30, 2020 (award is underwater as of June 30, 2024 and has no value), in each case representing the difference between the $56.23 closing price per share of our common stock on June 28, 2024, as reported on the NYSE (the “Fiscal 2024 Closing Price”), and the exercise price of the option; and (b) 46,396 RSUs (same in the case of death) granted on July 26, 2023, 10,221 RSUs (same in the case of death), granted on July 26, 2022, 3,009 RSUs granted (same in the case of death) on July 26, 2021, 0 PSUs (Adjusted EPS) (3,762 in the case of death) and 0 PSUs (Relative Return) (3,897 in the case of death) granted on July 26, 2021, 6,388 PSUs (Adjusted EPS) (12,776 in the case of death) and 6,948 PSUs (Relative Return) (13,895 in the case of death) granted on July 26, 2022, and 86,553 PSUs (Relative Return) (57,702 in the case of death) granted on July 26, 2023, multiplied by the Fiscal 2024 Closing Price.

The amount reported for Mr. Maselli for (i) termination by us without cause within 2 years following a change of control (assuming awards have been assumed, continued, or substituted), take into account future performance as disclosed in the “Fiscal 2024 Outstanding Equity Awards at Year-End” and accompanying footnote in this Annual Report; however, the number of Relative Return PSUs that vest in connection with a change of control may vary based on when a change of control occurs during a performance period.

Distribution of shares underlying PSUs are accelerated upon termination due to death. In the event Mr. Maselli meets the requirements of disability under the terms of the PSU awards, the shares underlying the PSUs remain subject to adjustment and will be distributed following the end of each relevant performance period based on final performance measured against the relevant pre-determined metrics for each award. The amounts shown above in the “Option/RSU/PSU/Restricted Stock/Performance Shares Acceleration” column in the event of termination due to death or disability assume that the PSUs vest at target. The amount would equal $9,727,157 when taking into account assumptions for future performance as disclosed in the “Fiscal 2024 Outstanding Equity Awards at Year-End” and accompanying footnote in this Annual Report.

(2)

Upon termination due to death or disability, Mr. Maselli or his estate is entitled to receive a pro-rata portion of the annual bonus that he would have been entitled to for the bonus year in which the termination occurs, based on our actual performance (the “Annual Bonus”). The amount reported above for death or disability represents his target annual bonus for fiscal 2024 and assumes (a) he would have served for the entire year and (b) on-target business and individual performance results. The amounts reported for “Termination by Us Without Cause” or “By Mr. Maselli for Good Reason and Termination by Us Without Cause Within 2 Years Following a Change of Control” (assuming awards have been assumed, continued, or substituted) are comprised of (a) the Annual Bonus plus (b) two (2) times the sum of (i) his annual base salary and (ii) his target annual bonus.

(3)	The amount reported represents income attributable to the health care premiums paid by us with respect to Mr. Maselli’s participation in our employee benefit plans for a two-year period. Mr. Maselli would also be entitled to be paid for any unused paid-time-off days accrued during 2024.

(4)	Receipt of shares in the event of disability occurs when the relevant vesting period for each grant ends rather than being accelerated to the date of disability.

(1)

For Mr. Masanovich, the amounts reported for a termination by us without cause or by the executive officer for good reason within 18 months following a change of control (assuming awards have been assumed, continued, or substituted) reflects (a) the “spread” value of $11.47 per share for the 81,082 options (same in the case of death) granted on July 5, 2023, representing the difference between the Fiscal 2024 Closing Price and the exercise price of the option, and (b) 36,864 RSUs (same in the case of death) granted on July 5, 2023 and 71,691 PSUs (Relative Return) (47,794 in the case of death) granted on July 5, 2023, multiplied by the Fiscal 2024 Closing Price.

For Mr. Hopson, the amounts reported for a termination by us without cause or by the executive officer for good reason within 18 months following a change of control (assuming awards have been assumed, continued, or substituted) reflects (a) the “spread” value of $9.72 per share for the 10,669 options (same in the case of death) granted on August 1, 2023, $0 per share for the 2,121 options (same in the case of death) granted on July 26, 2022 (award is underwater as of June 30, 2024 and has no value), $0 per share for the 1,283 options (same in the case of death) granted on July 26, 2021 (award is underwater as of June 30, 2024 and has no value) and $0 per share for the 766 options (same in the case of death) granted on July 30, 2020 (award is underwater as of June 30, 2024 and has no value), representing the difference between the Fiscal 2024 Closing Price and the exercise price of the option, and (b) 4,790 RSUs (same in the case of death) granted on August 1, 2023, 651 RSUs (same in the case of death) granted on July 26, 2022, 496 RSUs (same in the case as death) granted on July 26, 2021, 0 PSUs (Adjusted EPS) (620 in the case of death) and 0 PSUs (Relative Return) (642 in the case of death) granted on July 26, 2021, 407 PSUs (Adjusted EPS) (813 in the case of death) and 443 PSUs (Relative Return) (885 in the case of death) granted on July 26, 2022, and 9,024 PSUs (Relative Return) (6,016 in the case of death), multiplied by the Fiscal 2024 Closing Price.

For Mr. Greisch, the amounts reported for a termination by us without cause or by the executive officer for good reason within 18 months following a change of control (assuming awards have been assumed, continued, or substituted) reflects (a) the “spread” value of $7.25 per share for the 127,096 options (same in the case of death) granted on August 30, 2023, representing the difference between the Fiscal 2024 Closing Price and the exercise price of the option, and (b) 33,530 PSUs (Relative Return) (22,353 in the case of death), multiplied by the Fiscal 2024 Closing Price.

For Ms. Evoli, the amounts reported for a termination by us without cause or by the executive officer for good reason within 18 months following a change of control (assuming awards have been assumed, continued, or substituted) reflects (a) the “spread” value of $9.72 per share for the 14,225 options (same in the case of death) granted on August 1, 2023, representing the difference between the Fiscal 2024 Closing Price and the exercise price of the option, and (b) 27,887 RSUs (same in the case of death) granted on August 1, 2023 and 12,032 PSUs (Relative Return) (8,021 in the case of death) granted on August 1, 2023, multiplied by the Fiscal 2024 Closing Price.

For Mr. McErlane, the amounts reported for a termination by us without cause or by the executive officer for good reason within 18 months following a change of control (assuming awards have been assumed, continued, or substituted) reflects (a) the “spread” value of $10.44 per share for the 14,740 options (same in the case of death) granted on September 25, 2023, representing the difference between the Fiscal 2024 Closing Price and the exercise price of the option, and (b) 19,552 RSUs (same in the case of death) granted on September 25, 2023 and 11,426 PSUs (Relative Return) (7,617 in the case of death) granted on September 25, 2023, multiplied by the Fiscal 2024 Closing Price.

Distribution of shares underlying PSUs are accelerated upon termination due to death. In the event an NEO meets the requirements of disability under the terms of the PSU awards, the shares underlying the PSUs remain subject to adjustment and will be distributed following the end of each relevant performance period based on final performance measured against the relevant pre-determined metrics for each award. The amounts shown above in the “Option/RSU/PSU/Restricted Stock/Performance Shares Acceleration” column in the event of termination due to death or disability assume that the PSUs vest at target. The amounts would differ, as follows, when taking into account assumptions for future performance as disclosed in the “Fiscal 2024 Outstanding Equity Awards at Year-End” and accompanying footnote in this Annual Report: Mr. Masanovich – $7,034,058; Mr. Hopson—$992,755; Ms. Evoli - $2,382,912; Mr. Greisch—$2,806,838; Mr. McErlane—$1,895,779.

The amounts reported for Mr. Greisch’s excludes his vested/undelivered DSUs (3,167 granted on August 22, 2020 and 3,465 granted on October 27, 2022), which he elected to defer in his role as a non-employee Director. Upon a termination of death or disability, the vested DSUs would be distributed in the month following the death/disability termination. In the event Mr. Greisch stops serving on the Board within 2 years following a change in control his vested DSUs would be settled on the fifteenth day of the seventh month following the month in which his Board services ended.

(2)

The amounts reported for death or disability and for termination by us without cause or by the executive officer for good reason represent, for each executive, the sum of that executive’s annual base salary and target annual bonus. The amounts reported for termination by us without cause within 18 months following a change of control represents for Mr. Masanovich, Ms. Evoli and Messrs. Greisch and McErlane, two times the sum of their annual base salary and target annual bonus and for Mr. Hopson, the sum of one-and-a-half times his annual base salary and target annual bonus.

(3)

The amounts reported for Messrs. Masanovich and Hopson, Ms. Evoli and Mr. McErlane represent income attributable to the health care premiums paid by us with respect to their continued participation in our employee benefit plans for a one-year period. Mr. Greisch elected not to enroll in our health benefits. Each executive would also be entitled to be paid for any unused paid-time-off days accrued during 2024.

(4)	Receipt of shares in the event of disability occurs when the relevant vesting period for each grant ends rather than being accelerated to the date of disability.

Payments that would be made under our Deferred Compensation Plan are described above in the Fiscal 2024 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table.

SEVERANCE AND PAYMENTS ON A CHANGE OF CONTROL

MR. MASELLI’S SEVERANCE, TERMINATION, AND CHANGE OF CONTROL BENEFITS

Mr. Maselli’s employment agreement, the Omnibus Plans, and the grant agreements thereunder each provide for certain benefits to be paid to him upon termination.

Upon disability or death, a pro-rata portion of any annual bonus he would have earned for the year of termination, based on our actual performance in respect of the full fiscal year in which the date of termination occurs, and the prior fiscal year’s annual cash bonus if earned but not then paid, payable as if Mr. Maselli’s employment had not been terminated.

Should Mr. Maselli’s employment terminate due to death, his beneficiaries (i) will receive a death benefit equal to 1.5 times his base salary under a group life insurance program we provide that covers all eligible active U.S.-based employees, and (ii) will be entitled to accelerated vesting of all unvested grants under the Omnibus Plans. If his employment is terminated due to disability, all unvested grants under the Omnibus Plans will continue to vest as if he had continued employment through each applicable anniversary of the grant date.

Under his employment agreement, upon any termination for good reason or due to his election not to extend the term, Mr. Maselli receives certain accrued amounts and benefits and a pro-rata portion of any annual bonus he would have earned for the year of termination, and the prior fiscal year’s annual cash bonus if earned but not then paid, payable as if Mr. Maselli’s employment had not been terminated.

The employment agreement further provides that upon termination by us without cause, or by Mr. Maselli for good reason, or due to our election not to extend the term, subject to a release of claims, he will also be entitled to receive an amount equal to two times the sum of (x) his annualized base salary and (y) his annual target bonus, payable in equal monthly installments over a two-year period; provided, however, that, if such termination occurs within the two-year period following a change in control, such payment will instead be made in a single lump-sum payment within thirty days following termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our obligation to make such payments will cease in the event of an uncured material breach by Mr. Maselli of the restrictive covenants contained in the employment agreement.

In addition to the payments described above, if Mr. Maselli’s employment is terminated by us without cause, by Mr. Maselli for good reason, or due to our election not to extend the term, Mr. Maselli (and his spouse and eligible dependents, to the extent covered prior to such termination) will also be entitled to continued participation in our group health plans for up to two years.

For grants under the Omnibus Plans, if Mr. Maselli incurred a termination, other than for death, disability, or a change of control that occurs during the period commencing on the date of the consummation of a change of control and ending on the date that is eighteen months following the consummation of such change of control, we could cancel any unvested option, RSU, or PSU. Any vested option will remain outstanding and exercisable generally for 90 days, and vested options will terminate immediately if we terminate Mr. Maselli’s employment for cause. Any vested option that he does not exercise within the applicable post-termination exercise period will terminate.

MR. GREISCH’S SEVERANCE, TERMINATION, AND CHANGE OF CONTROL BENEFITS

Mr. Greisch’s employment agreement, the Omnibus Plans, and the grant agreements thereunder each provide for certain benefits to be paid to him upon termination.

If Mr. Greisch is terminated by the Company for Cause, or if he resigns without Good Reason, or in the event of his death or Disability, in each case, he (or his estate, as the case may be) shall be entitled to receive: (A) accrued, but unpaid base salary; (B) reimbursement, for any unreimbursed business expense properly incurred; and (C) all amounts and benefits due to Mr. Greisch under the applicable terms of any applicable plan, program, agreement, or arrangement of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Upon Mr. Greisch’s termination due to death or disability, he or his estate (as the case may be) will be entitled to receive these

If Mr. Greisch is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than by reason of death or disability) or by his Retirement or resignation for Good Reason, in addition to the above accrued rights, he will be entitled to receive (A) a pro rata portion of his annual bonus, if any, that he would have been entitled to receive for the bonus year during which the date of termination occurs based on the Company’s actual performance in respect of such bonus year, assuming he was employed for such full bonus year, (B) continued vesting of his stock options and PSUs, to the extent not then vested or previously forfeited or cancelled, as if he had continued employment through the original vesting date(s), and with respect to the stock options, he may exercise any vested option for a period ending on the later of (i) the third anniversary of each original vesting date or (ii) the termination date, and (C) if he is terminated by the Company without Cause or resigns for Good Reason within 18 months following a Change in Control (as defined in the Omnibus Plans), in lieu of, and not in addition to, payment under (A) and (B) above, (i) a single lump sum payment of cash severance in an amount equal to 1.5 times the sum of his then base salary plus target bonus for the remaining portion of the employment term and (II) Change in Control vesting for his equity awards.

SEVERANCE, TERMINATION, AND CHANGE OF CONTROL BENEFITS FOR MESSRS. MASANOVICH, HOPSON, MCERLANE AND MS. EVOLI

The severance and equity grant agreements with each of Messrs. Masanovich, Hopson, Mcerlane and Ms. Evoli, as well as the Omnibus Plans and the grant agreements thereunder, provide for benefits in the event of certain events of termination.

Under the Omnibus Plans, any unvested equity-based grant would become fully vested and exercisable in the event of termination due to death; however, if termination was due to disability, unvested equity-based awards would continue to vest as if the executive had continued employment through each applicable anniversary of the date of grant. Under the Omnibus Plans, in the event of a change in control, to the extent the acquiring or successor entity does assume, continue, or substitute for a grants option, if the NEO were to incur a termination without cause during the eighteen months following the consummation of such change in control, the then-outstanding equity awards thereunder would become fully vested and exercisable. Other than in the cases of change of control, death, or disability, a termination will result in the cancellation of unvested equity-based awards under the Omnibus Plans held by any of the NEOs.

Our group life insurance program, which covers all eligible active U.S.-based employees, provides for a death benefit equal to 1.5 times current base salary (currently, the benefit would pay a total of $1,200,000 (with respect to Mr. Masanovich) $637,500 (with respect to Mr. Hopson), $750,000 (with respect to Ms. Evoli), and $787,500 (with respect to Mr. McErlane)).

Under our standard severance arrangement entered into with each of Messrs. Masanovich, McErlane and Ms. Evoli, in the event of death or disability, a termination by the Company without cause or by the executive for good reason within 18 months following a change in control, the executive would be entitled to increased cash severance equal to two times the sum of annual base salary plus target annual bonus, payable in equal installments over the one-year period following the date of termination, subject to entering into a release of claims and certain other terms and conditions. Mr. Hopson would be entitled to increased cash severance equal to one-and-a-half times the sum of his annual base salary plus target annual bonus, payable in equal installments over the one-year period following the date of termination, subject to entering into a release of claims and certain other terms and conditions. In addition, the severance agreements provide that if any of the payments provided for under such severance agreement or otherwise payable to the individual would constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code and would be subject to the related excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, then such individual will be entitled to receive either full payment of benefits or such lesser amount that would result in no portion of the benefits being subject to the excise tax, whichever results in the greater amount of after-tax benefits to such individual.

Pay Ratio

Presented below is the ratio of annual total compensation in fiscal 2024 of our CEO to the annual total compensation of our median employee (excluding our CEO). We believe the ratio presented below is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with the rules set forth in Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act (the “Pay Ratio Rules”).

In identifying our median employee, we calculated the annual total cash compensation for fiscal 2024 of each employee as of June 30, 2024. For these purposes, annual total cash compensation included base salary or hourly wages, cash incentives, commissions, and comparable cash elements of compensation in non-U.S. jurisdictions and was calculated using internal human resources records. All amounts were annualized for permanent employees who did not work for the entire year, such as new hires, employees on paid or unpaid leave of absence and employees called for active military duty. We did not apply any cost-of-living adjustment as part of the calculation.

We selected the median employee from among 16,130 full-time and part-time workers who were employed as of June 30, 2024. We did not exclude any employee (whether pursuant to the de minimis exemption for foreign employees or any other permitted exclusion).

In accordance with the Pay Ratio Rules, we calculated the median employee’s annual total compensation in the same manner as the CEO’s annual total compensation was calculated in the Fiscal 2024 Summary Compensation Table on page 31. The median employee’s annual total compensation was $61,247. The CEO’s annual total compensation was $9,985,363, the amount reported in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table. Accordingly, the ratio of our CEO’s total compensation to our median employee’s total compensation for fiscal 2024 was 163.0 to 1.

In considering this pay ratio, please note that the Pay Ratio Rules permit companies to calculate pay ratios using a variety of methods, both in determining the median employee and in determining the compensation to be used in calculating the ratio. Thus, our ratio may not be comparable to the ratio determined by any other company.

Director Compensation

We provide competitive compensation to our non-employee directors to attract and retain qualified individuals. The principal elements of our non-employee director compensation are an annual cash retainer; an annual equity award of RSUs, each of which represents the right to receive one share of our common stock; and additional cash fees for our Lead Independent Director, Committee Chairs (other than the Strategic and Operational Review Committee (the “Strategic Committee”)), Audit Committee members, and Strategic Committee members. In addition, non-employee directors are reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Mr. Maselli, our CEO, did not receive additional compensation for his service as a director during fiscal 2024. Mr. Greisch received compensation as a non-employee director in fiscal 2024 until his election as Executive Chair, at which point he ceased being eligible for such compensation.

The Compensation Committee biennially reviews and considers information from its independent compensation consultant regarding the amounts and type of compensation paid to our non-employee directors at companies within the same Comparison Group (as defined in the CD&A above under the heading “The Use of Market Data in Determining Compensation”) used by the committee to assess executive compensation.

Annual cash fees to the Chair of the Compensation Committee of $12,500 and $10,000 to the Chairs of each of the Nominating and Quality and Regulatory Compliance Committees.

Directors may elect to defer any portion of their cash fees or RSUs on a pre-tax basis under our Deferred Compensation Plan.

The terms of the plan are described in the executive compensation section above.

Matching Gift Program

Our directors may also participate in the Catalent Cares matching gift program, which matches on a 1-to-1 basis personal charitable donations made by our employees and non-employee directors to eligible nonprofit organizations, subject to a yearly maximum of USD 2,000. The matching gift program yearly cycle runs through Catalent’s fiscal year from July 1 through June 30.

Director Stock Ownership Policy

Each of our non-employee directors is required to own stock in an amount equal to five times the annual cash retainer. For purposes of this requirement, a director’s holdings include shares held directly or indirectly, individually or jointly, and shares held under a deferral or similar plan. Each non-employee director is required to retain 100% of the shares received upon settlement of vested RSUs (net of shares used to satisfy applicable tax withholding obligation, if any) until the ownership level is met. All of our non-employee directors complied with the retention provisions of this policy throughout fiscal 2024 and through the date of this Annual Report.

Mr. Maselli did not receive any compensation as a director during fiscal 2024, though he received compensation as our employee, as reported in the executive compensation tables in this Annual Report. In addition, Mr. Greisch received compensation as a non-employee director in fiscal 2024 until his election as Executive Chair, at which point he ceased being eligible for such compensation.

(2)

Represents the aggregate grant date fair market value of stock awards for fiscal 2024, computed in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) Topic 718, using the assumptions discussed in Note 14, “Stock-Based Compensation,” to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2024 Annual Report. The number of unvested RSUs as of June 30, 2024 was as follows: Messrs. Barber, Classon, Lucier, Morel, and Stahl had 6,993, Mr. D’Amelio, and Mses.

(5)

The vesting of Mr. Greisch’s annual RSU award made to Mr. Greisch on October 27, 2022 was reduced by $45,284 through a cancellation/forfeiture of awarded RSUs on August 27, 2023 due to his appointment as Executive Chair of the Company on August 28, 2023, at which time he became ineligible to receive compensation pursuant to the Company’s non-employee director compensation plan.

In addition, each of Donald E. Morel, Jr., Madhavan Balachandran and Rosemary A. Crane served on the Compensation Committee until their retirement from the board at the 2023 Annual Meeting held in January 2024. During fiscal 2024, no member of our Compensation Committee was an employee or officer or former officer of Catalent or had any relationship requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. None of our executive officers has served on the board of directors or compensation committee of any other entity that has or has had one or more executive officers who served as a member of our Board or our Compensation Committee during fiscal 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

For a discussion of these measures and how they reconcile to our results reported under U.S. GAAP, please see the heading “Non-GAAP Metrics” under Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition of our 2024 Annual Report, as well as the following:

Use of Constant Currency, Budget-Based Revenue, and Budget-Based EBITDA

When we set the financial goals that we use to operate the business, including the goals that our executives must meet to qualify for our fiscal 2021 performance-based incentive compensation, and when we determine whether those goals have been met, we use, among other metrics, revenue and Adjusted EBITDA computed using the currency exchange rates that we use internally in budgeting and in measuring performance against budget, in part because we believe that the compensation of our executives should not be affected, to the extent practicable, by factors beyond those executives’ control. We refer in this Annual Report to revenue and Adjusted EBITDA computed on this type of constant-currency basis as “Budget-Based Revenue” and “Budget-Based EBITDA,” respectively.

Results on a constant-currency basis, Budget-Based Revenue, and Budget-Based EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Results on a constant-currency basis, Budget-Based Revenue, and Budget-Based EBITDA, as we present them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The reconciliation of net earnings to Adjusted EBITDA also includes a reconciliation to Budget-Based EBITDA. The reconciliation of fiscal 2024 consolidated net revenue reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP to net revenue at budgeted foreign exchange rates is as follows (in millions of U.S. dollars):

Employee Stock Purchase Plan approved by security holders⁽⁴⁾		—			—			2,998,950

(1)

The amounts set forth in this row relate to grants under (a) our 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2014 Omnibus Plan”), which was approved by a majority shareholder prior to our IPO, and (b) our 2018 Omnibus Plan together with the 2014 Omnibus Plan, the “Omnibus Plans”), which was approved by our shareholders at the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. No additional award will be issued under the 2014 Omnibus Plan, but the shares that otherwise would have been available for issuance thereunder are available for issuance under the 2018 Omnibus Plan. Under the terms of the 2018 Omnibus Plan, each issued RSU and PSU reduces the amount remaining available by 2.25 shares for awards granted prior to July 1, 2023 and 1.7 shares for awards granted on or after July 1, 2023, which is reflected in the amount reported in column (c) above, as well as incremental shares underlying PSUs representing performance at maximum above the respective targets. If we took into consideration the terms of the Novo Holdings merger agreement, the incremental shares underlying PSUs would represent the fiscal year 2023-2025 PSUs at target performance and the fiscal year 2025-2026 PSUs at maximum performance, resulting in 13,657,302 number of securities remaining available for future issuance under our equity compensation plans.

(3)	The weighted-average exercise price shown above reflects stock options only and does not take into account outstanding RSUs or PSUs as these forms of equity securities by their nature have no exercise price.

(4)

The amount set forth in this row relates to our 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) and reflects shares purchased through the end of the purchase period that ended on March 31, 2024. The plan was suspended after the March 31, 2024 offering period through the date the Novo Holdings transaction is consummated. There were no future offering periods for the remainder of fiscal 2024. Upon the consummation of the Novo Holdings transaction, the ESPP will be terminated.

ITEM 13.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Transactions with Related Persons

Our Board has adopted a written policy regarding the review, approval, and ratification of transactions with related persons. This policy provides that a related person must promptly disclose to our Board any related person transaction. No related person transaction will be executed without the approval or ratification of our Board or the Audit Committee. It is our policy that directors interested in a related person transaction will recuse themselves from any vote on a related person transaction in which they have an interest if the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and a “related person” has a direct or indirect material interest. In general, “related persons” are our directors and executive officers, shareholders beneficially owning more than 5% of our outstanding stock, and their immediate family members. We refer to such a transaction as a “related person transaction.”

During fiscal 2024 we did not enter into or have outstanding any reportable related person transaction, nor is any related person transaction currently proposed, in which any of our directors, CEO, or executive officers has a direct or indirect material interest.

Director Independence

Our Governance Guidelines define an “independent” director in accordance with Section 303A.02 of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual. In addition, members of the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee are subject to the additional independence requirements of applicable SEC rules and NYSE listing standards. Under our Governance Guidelines and the NYSE listing standards, a director is not independent if the director has or had certain specified relationships with us. As part of its process to approve for nomination the current slate of nominees, our Board determined that each of our director nominees is independent for purposes of our Governance Guidelines, applicable NYSE standards, and applicable SEC rules, including with respect to committee service, other than Mr. Maselli, who is also our CEO, and Mr. Greisch, who is our Executive Chair.

ITEM 14.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

On February 27, 2024, the Audit Committee approved the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The following table presents the fees for professional services rendered by Grant Thornton LLP for the audit of our annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, and the fees billed for other services rendered by Grant Thornton LLP during that period.

Audit Fees⁽¹⁾	$	8,716,896

Audit-Related Fees		—

Tax Fees		—

All Other Fees⁽²⁾		—

Total	$	8,716,896

(1)

Includes fees associated with the integrated audit of our annual consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, review of our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and other services that are normally provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

(2)	Grant Thornton did not provide any “other services” during the last fiscal year.

All of the services covered under the captions “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees,” and “Tax Fees” were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services

Consistent with requirements of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding auditor independence, the Audit Committee charter provides that the Audit Committee has responsibility for appointing, setting compensation for, and overseeing the work of the independent auditor. Accordingly, all audit and permitted non-audit services for which Grant Thornton LLP was engaged were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
