To Our Shareholders, Employees, Customers, Patients and Friends:
2015 represented yet another remarkable year for Mylan on many fronts, not the least of which was our continued execution on our long-standing strategy. We made excellent progress against each of the key pillars of this strategy by further strengthening Mylans exceptional and differentiated global operating platform; continuing to diversify the companys product portfolio, which is already one of the industrys broadest; and further building out our powerful commercial infrastructure. We also continued to position the company for long-term growth through significant investment in our organic growth drivers, which we complemented by executing on value-creating, strategic acquisitions and other business development opportunities.
In addition to our continued focus on building Mylans business for the future, we did not take our eye off the ball with regard to the day-to-day core business and short-term execution, as the companys record financial results for 2015 clearly demonstrate.
In 2015, we delivered total revenues of nearly $9.4 billion and adjusted diluted earnings per share (adjusted diluted EPS) of $4.30, an increase of 22% and 21%, respectively, compared to our very strong performance in 2014 (U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share were $1.70, a decrease of 27%). All of the companys regions and businesses contributed to this strong growth, and we achieved it despite strong foreign-currency headwinds. We also had a record year with respect to adjusted EBITDA, which increased 27% compared to 2014, and adjusted free cash flow, which more than doubled over the prior year (U.S. GAAP net earnings attributable to Mylan N.V. ordinary shareholders decreased 9% and U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities increased 98%).
Our consistent execution and strong performance in 2015 contributed to a long-term compound annual growth (CAGR) in adjusted diluted EPS of 27% since 2008.

Proven Track Record of Success
Adjusted diluted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure. See Appendix A for reconciliation of adjusted diluted EPS to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure.
*Midpoint of 2016 guidance range
**Stated 2018 target; this is a long-term target only and does not represent company guidance.
U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share in 2008 were $(1.10), 2009 were $0.30, 2010 were $0.68, 2011 were $1.22, 2012 were $1.52, 2013 were $1.58, 2014 were $2.34, and 2015 were $1.70. The midpoint of forecasted U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share for 2016 is $2.41.
We also continued to advance a number of our strategic growth drivers during 2015.
EpiPen® Auto-Injector remains an important and growing product, generating more than $1 billion in annual sales since 2014. We continued to advocate for legislation to increase access to stock, or undesignated, epinephrine auto-injectors in schools and other public places to ensure availability of this life-saving treatment for severe allergic reactions, or anaphylaxis. In addition, in 2015, Mylan continued a multi-year strategic alliance agreement with Walt Disney Parks and Resorts to help increase awareness of anaphylaxis. Maps in Disneys domestic theme parks and on its cruise ships, as well as signage in the parks, highlight locations with EpiPen® and EpiPen Jr® Auto-Injectors to help ensure visitor access to these products.
Through Mylans new On Location program, which we will begin piloting next year with EpiPen® Auto-Injector, we hope to provide enhanced access to this product in more public places around the U.S.
We also remain committed to continuing to invest in education and building awareness about the need for access to these life-saving treatments for anaphylaxis.
Throughout the year, we also worked with a variety of stakeholders in our continued fight against HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases. We announced, for example, that we expect to be the first to launch TLE400, an antiretroviral medication that we developed in partnership with the Clinton Health Access Initiative, for $99 per patient, per year. Today more than 50% of patients in the developing world receiving treatment for HIV/AIDS rely on a Mylan product.
In addition, we expanded our Hepatitis C licensing agreement with Gilead Sciences, a valued partner since 2006. As Gileads exclusive branded-medicine distribution partner in India, we launched its Solvaldi® product there in 2015, as well as introducing MyHep, the generic form of Solvaldi, in India and other emerging markets. Early this year, we announced the launch of MyHep LVIR, the generic form of Harvoni®, in India.
-2-
In our respiratory program, we filed our Abbreviated New Drug Application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for generic Advair Diskus® at the end of 2015. We continue to look forward to being the first company to bring generic Advair to the U.S. market, in 2017.
We also announced a partnership with Theravance Biopharma with the goal of developing and commercializing Revefenacin, a once-daily nebulized product used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, and other respiratory diseases. Through our partnership with Prosonix, we continued work on our generic Flovent® program for the U.S. The products counterpart in Europe, Generic Flixotide®, is on track to be approved this year. In addition, we launched Sirdupla, the generic version of Seretide® Evohaler®, in the U.K.
In partnership with Biocon, we progressed our biologics and insulin-analogs programs and expect this year to submit in the U.S. and Europe three biosimilar applications Pegfilgrastim, Trastuzumab and Adalimumab and an interchangeable glargine application. Further, we completed and qualified a state-of-the-art glargine production facility in Malaysia.
In early 2016 we also announced an exclusive global agreement with Momenta that expands our portfolio of biologics with up to six additional products and broadens the scope and scale of our capability. The combination of this program and our Biocon partnership positions Mylan to become a worldwide leader in the biologics space.
As for inorganic growth opportunities, in February 2015, we completed our acquisition of Abbotts non-U.S. developed markets specialty and branded generics business. The transaction further diversified the business and strengthened the companys commercial platform outside the U.S. It also significantly enhanced Mylans financial flexibility, optimized the companys global tax structure and increased our balance sheet capacity. The integration of the two organizations has been going well, and the businesss performance has exceeded our own expectations: We reversed its decline and grew it 2% year over year in 2015 on a constant currency basis, demonstrating again our ability to take an underappreciated asset and drive expansion within our platform.
In November 2015, we acquired certain female healthcare businesses from Famy Care, a valued partner since 2008. The transaction brought us a broad portfolio of products (primarily oral contraceptives), strong technical capabilities and dedicated hormone manufacturing. By combining these assets with our global commercial footprint and supply chain infrastructure, we look forward to creating a leading womens healthcare franchise and providing enhanced access to these products around the world.
We also laid out during the year our vision for the industrys future and the importance of building additional scale across geographies, products and channels so that Mylan can meet the evolving needs of our consolidating customer base.
In early 2016, we took the next step in executing on our vision by announcing that we would acquire Meda, a leading international specialty pharmaceutical company which has served as our marketing and distribution partner for EpiPen® Auto-Injector in Europe since 2011.
The combination will create a global pharmaceutical leader with 2015 combined revenues of nearly $12 billion,1 a diversified portfolio of more than 2,000 products, and critical mass across all commercial channels, including a $1 billion over-the-counter (OTC) business. Geographically, we gain a more balanced and expanded global footprint with an even stronger presence across Europe; a leading U.S. specialty business; and an expanded presence in emerging markets, including several new and attractive ones such as China, Southeast Asia, Russia, the Middle East and Mexico. We also will become a leader in the global respiratory/allergy market and achieve scale in many other therapeutic areas, including dermatology and pain, offering us even greater opportunities for growth in these therapeutic franchises. Completion of the Meda transaction is subject to a public offer to the shareholders of Meda to acquire all of Medas outstanding shares and other customary closing conditions. We expect to complete the transaction by the end of the third quarter in 2016.
While 2015 was distinguished by our many accomplishments, it was not without its challenges. We believe that the year represented an inflection point for Mylan, as well as for the entire pharmaceutical industry. We have long
-3-
held that you cannot build a great company simply by driving quarter to quarter. This holds particularly true today, as our ever-dynamic industry continues to transform even more rapidly and dramatically, and is exposing companies not driven by fundamentals. That is why we believe it is critical to continue to have in place a Board of Directors that is capable of, and committed to, setting a compelling long-term strategic direction for the Company, and a strong management team that can deliver against this vision, while also continuing to effectively lead the business through the challenges and opportunities that present themselves daily in our industry.
We applaud the increasing number of leaders and shareholders that have joined the conversation about the need for companies to have a long-term mindset and question short-term actions that do not deliver against this longer-term vision. That said, these voices remain outnumbered and outweighed by the continued focus on, and rewards for, hitting quarterly earnings estimates, delivering financially (vs. strategically)-driven transactions, and taking other short-term actions that briefly enhance the bottom line at the expense of sustainable longer-term growth. We are anxious to see more leaders prioritize, incentivize, and reward the building of great companies and long-term shareholder value over todays continued myopia on short term actions that may maximize real-time trading value but sacrifice sustainability.
For Mylan, building a great company has always meant focusing on our mission of setting new standards in healthcare and providing the worlds 7 billion people access to high quality medicine. To do so, we innovate to satisfy unmet needs; make reliability and service excellence a habit; do whats right, not whats easy; and impact the future through passionate global leadership.
Achieving our mission within our fast-changing industry will require us to continue to think differently in the years ahead. We believe that we have assembled an unmatched portfolio of assets across generics, branded prescription medicines, OTC products and innovative healthcare solutions. Looking forward, we anticipate leveraging these assets in exciting and unconventional ways to bring a differentiated value proposition to customers, shareholders and other stakeholders and change the conversation with the consumer as the Mylan brand increasingly intersects with the patient journey.

-4-
Achievement of our goals relies on our dedicated global workforce, which now numbers nearly 35,000 talented individuals. We consider them to be Mylans most important asset. On behalf of Mylans Board of Directors and senior leadership team, we would like to extend our sincere appreciation to each and every one of them for their exceptional performance to date. In order to continue to execute against our mission, strategy and financial objectives, our employees must be incentivized to deliver against both our short-term goals and priorities, as well as our long-term vision and mission. To this end, we focused throughout 2015 on driving even greater focus, accountability and alignment across our leadership and entire workforce.

Our ability to do good while doing well has been a Mylan hallmark since its founding more than 50 years ago. Our company is defined by the bedrock belief that every person in this world matters and that access to better health is a right, not a privilege. By remaining focused on our mission and strategy, not only do we believe we can deliver Better Health for a Better World, we are confident that we will continue to deliver exceptional financial performance for Mylans shareholders.
We thank you for your continued support of Mylan. |

The annual general meeting will be held on June 24, 2016, and May 27, 2016 is the record date (registratiedatum) (the Record Date).

Beneficial owners of Mylan ordinary shares that are not traded through the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) and held through a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee may not vote the underlying ordinary shares at the Mylan annual general meeting of shareholders unless they first obtain (where appropriate, through the relevant broker, bank, trust company or other nominee) a signed proxy card from the relevant shareholder who is registered in the Register as the holder on the Record Date of the underlying ordinary shares. In addition, beneficial owners of Mylan ordinary shares must provide proof of ownership, such as a recent account statement or letter from a brokerage firm, bank nominee, or other institution proving ownership on the Record Date.
Beneficial owners of Mylan ordinary shares that are traded through the TASE may not vote the underlying ordinary shares at the Mylan annual general meeting of shareholders unless they first obtain an ownership certificate from the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Clearing House Ltd.

Mylan shareholders and holders of a proxy card to vote Mylan shares who wish to attend and, if relevant, vote in person at the annual general meeting of shareholders must notify Mylan of their plan to attend the meeting no later than [●] Central European Time (CET) on [●] (the Cut-Off Time), in writing (such notice to be sent to Mylans office address set out above to the attention of Mylans Corporate Secretary).

These may often be identified by the use of words such as will, may, could, should, would, project, believe, anticipate, expect, plan, estimate, forecast, potential, intend, continue, target and variations of these words or comparable words. Because forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties, actual future results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: uncertainties related to the Meda Transaction, including as to the timing of the Meda Transaction, uncertainties as to whether Mylan will be able to complete the Meda Transaction, the possibility that competing offers will be made, the possibility that certain conditions to the completion of the Offer will not be satisfied, and the possibility that Mylan will be unable to obtain regulatory approvals for the Meda Transaction or be required, as a condition to obtaining regulatory approvals, to accept conditions that could reduce the anticipated benefits of the Meda Transaction; the ability to meet expectations regarding the accounting and tax treatments of the EPD Transaction and the Meda Transaction; changes in relevant tax and other laws, including but not limited to changes in the U.S. tax code and healthcare and pharmaceutical laws and regulations in the U.S. and abroad; the integration of the EPD Business and Meda being more difficult, time-consuming, or costly than expected; operating costs, customer loss, and business disruption (including, without limitation, difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees, customers, clients, or suppliers) being greater than expected following the EPD Transaction and the Meda Transaction; the retention of certain key employees of the EPD Business and Meda being difficult; the possibility that Mylan may be unable to achieve expected synergies and operating efficiencies in connection with the EPD Transaction and the Meda Transaction within the expected time-frames or at all and to successfully integrate the EPD Business and Meda; expected or targeted future financial and operating performance and results; the capacity to bring new products to market, including but not limited to where Mylan uses its business judgment and decides to manufacture, market, and/or sell products, directly or through third parties, notwithstanding the fact that allegations of patent infringement(s) have not been finally resolved by the courts (i.e., an at-risk launch); any regulatory, legal, or other impediments to Mylans ability to bring new products to market; success of clinical trials and Mylans ability to execute on new product opportunities; any changes in or difficulties with our inventory of, and our ability to manufacture and distribute, the EpiPen® Auto-Injector to meet anticipated demand; the scope, timing, and outcome of any ongoing legal proceedings and the impact of any such proceedings on financial condition, results of operations, and/or cash flows; the ability to protect intellectual property and preserve
intellectual property rights; the effect of any changes in customer and supplier relationships and customer purchasing patterns; the ability to attract and retain key personnel; changes in third-party relationships; the impact of competition; changes in the economic and financial conditions of the businesses of Mylan, Meda, or the combined company; the inherent challenges, risks, and costs in identifying, acquiring, and integrating complementary or strategic acquisitions of other companies, products, or assets and in achieving anticipated synergies; uncertainties and matters beyond the control of management; and inherent uncertainties involved in the estimates and judgments used in the preparation of financial statements, and the providing of estimates of financial measures, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and related standards or on an adjusted basis. For more detailed information on the risks and uncertainties associated with Mylans business activities, see the risks described in Mylan N.V.s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as amended, Mylan N.V.s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, and our other filings with the SEC. These risks and uncertainties also include those risks and uncertainties that are discussed in the offer document that has been filed with the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (SFSA) and will be published by Mylan upon approval by the SFSA (the Offer Document), the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on April 11, 2016 (as amended from time to time, the Registration Statement) and the EU Prospectus that has been filed with the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) and will be published by Mylan upon approval by the AFM (the EU Prospectus). You can access Mylans filings with the SEC through the SEC website at www.sec.gov, and Mylan strongly encourages you to do so. Mylan undertakes no obligation to update any statements herein for revisions or changes after the filing date of this Proxy Statement.
Additional Information
In connection with the Offer, the Offer Document has been filed with the SFSA and will be published by Mylan upon approval by the SFSA. In addition, Mylan has filed certain materials with the SEC, including, among other materials, the Registration Statement. The EU Prospectus has been filed with the AFM and will be published by Mylan upon approval by the AFM. This Proxy Statement and Shareholder Letter are not intended to be, and are not, a substitute for such documents or for any other document that Mylan may file with the SFSA, the SEC, the AFM or any other competent EU authority in connection with the Offer.

Any materials filed by Mylan with the SFSA, the SEC, the AFM or any other competent EU authority that are required to be mailed to Meda shareholders will also be mailed to such shareholders.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Proxy Statement and Shareholder Letter include the presentation and discussion of certain financial information that differs from what is reported under U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures, including, but not limited to, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted free cash flow, total adjusted revenues, constant currency third party net sales, constant currency adjusted third party net sales, adjusted third party net sales, cash return on invested capital excluding goodwill, cash return on operating invested capital, and cash return on invested capital are presented in order to supplement investors and other readers understanding and assessment of Mylans financial performance. Management uses these measures internally for forecasting, budgeting, measuring its operating performance, and incentive-based awards. In addition, primarily due to acquisitions, Mylan believes that an evaluation of its ongoing operations (and comparisons of its current operations with historical and future operations) would be difficult if the disclosure of its financial results were limited to financial measures prepared only in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, Mylan believes that including EBITDA and supplemental adjustments applied in presenting adjusted EBITDA pursuant to our debt
agreements is appropriate to provide additional information to investors to demonstrate Mylans ability to comply with financial debt covenants (which are calculated using a measure similar to adjusted EBITDA) and assess Mylans ability to incur additional indebtedness. We also report sales performance using the non-GAAP financial measure of constant currency sales and adjusted sales. This measure provides information on the change in net sales assuming that foreign currency exchange rates had not changed between the prior and current period. The comparisons presented as constant currency rates reflect comparative local currency sales at the prior years foreign exchange rates. We routinely evaluate our third party net sales performance at constant currency so that sales results can be viewed without the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating a period-to-period comparison of our operational activities, and we believe that this presentation also provides useful information to investors for the same reason. Appendix A to this Proxy Statement contains reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. Investors and other readers are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures set forth in Appendix A, and investors and other readers should consider non-GAAP measures only as supplements to, not as substitutes for or as superior measures to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Explanatory Note
At a special meeting of shareholders held January 29, 2015, approximately 98% of the votes cast by Mylan Inc.s shareholders approved the agreement implementing the EPD Transaction by which Mylan N.V. acquired Mylan Inc. and the EPD Business, and on February 27, 2015 (the Closing Date), the EPD Transaction closed. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Business Transfer Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 4, 2014, by and among Mylan Inc., Mylan N.V., Moon of PA Inc., and Abbott, on the Closing Date, Mylan N.V. acquired Mylan Inc. and the EPD Business and Moon of PA Inc. merged with and into Mylan Inc., with Mylan Inc. surviving as a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Mylan N.V. (the Merger) and each share of Mylan Inc. common stock issued and outstanding was canceled and automatically converted into and became the right to receive one Mylan N.V. ordinary share. In connection with this transaction, Mylan Inc. and the EPD Business were reorganized under Mylan N.V., a new public company organized in the Netherlands. On February 18, 2015, the Office of Chief Counsel of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a no-action letter to Mylan Inc. and Mylan N.V. that included its views that the Merger constituted a succession for purposes of Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and that Mylan N.V., as successor to Mylan Inc., is deemed a large accelerated filer for purposes of Exchange Act Rule 12b-2. For purposes of this Proxy Statement, references to the Company for periods prior to the Closing Date refer to Mylan Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The summary below highlights some of the information that is described in more detail elsewhere in this Proxy Statement. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider, and we urge you to review the complete document carefully before voting. For additional information regarding the Companys 2015 performance, please also review Mylans Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Continued Excellence in Execution
Our senior leadership team is led by Mr. Coury, Ms. Bresch, and Mr. Malik. Together, they and the Mylan Board have successfully developed and executed on a vision and strategy to position Mylan as a global leader in its industry that consistently delivers value to shareholders. We have done so by building an unmatched global operating and commercial platform; driving outstanding execution and organic growth in Mylans core business; identifying and advancing Mylans strategic growth drivers; and identifying and executing on strategic acquisitions and partnerships that enhance Mylans long-term growth prospects.
We believe that Mylans record-setting 2015, and the outstanding long-term growth of Mylan -- including an exceptional 25.4% and 20.7% total shareholder return (TSR) over the past three and five years, respectively, each of which significantly exceeded the S&P 500 Index and S&P 500 Pharmaceutical Index results over those periods -- is directly related to the effectiveness and the robustness of our compensation program, as well as the talents of Mylans global workforce and the extraordinary vision, commitment, and leadership of Mylans senior leadership team, to the benefit of shareholders and other stakeholders.
Outstanding 2015 and Long-Term Financial Performance
2015 represented yet another remarkable year for Mylan on many fronts. In addition to our continued focus on building a long-term sustainable business, we did not take our eye off the ball with regard to the companys day-to-day core business and short-term execution, as our strong financial results for 2015 clearly demonstrate, resulting in double-digit percentage increases in total adjusted revenues (22%), adjusted EBITDA (27%), and adjusted diluted earnings per share (adjusted diluted EPS) (21%) compared to our strong 2014 performance (U.S. GAAP total revenues increased 22%, U.S. GAAP net earnings attributable to Mylan N.V. ordinary shareholders decreased 9%, and U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share decreased 27% in 2015 compared to 2014).

For 2015, U.S. GAAP total revenues were $9,429 million. For 2014 and 2015, U.S. GAAP net earnings attributable to Mylan N.V. ordinary shareholders were $929.4 million and $847.6 million, respectively (down 9% year-over-year). For 2014 and 2015, U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share were $2.34 and $1.70, respectively (down 27% year-over-year).

Importantly, these exceptional results were not due to reliance on one product or region, but were the outcome of outstanding performance across all of Mylans regions and segments. Highlights include year-over-year constant currency third party net sales increases of 67% in Europe on an adjusted basis, 38% in the Rest of World region, and 16% in North America, as well as the outstanding results of our Specialty business (U.S. GAAP third party net sales for Europe increased 49%, U.S. GAAP third party net sales for Rest of World increased 27%, and U.S. GAAP third party net sales for the U.S. increased 16%).
These outstanding 2015 financial results further complemented our long-term track record of exceptional business execution and performance and delivering superior financial results for our shareholders, as shown in the charts below. In particular, our consistent execution and strong performance in 2015 contributed to a long-term compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in adjusted diluted EPS of 27% since 2008.
Financial Results: 2011-2015

For 2015, U.S. GAAP total revenues were $9,429 million. U.S. GAAP net earnings attributable to Mylan N.V. ordinary shareholders were $536.8 million in 2011, $640.9 million in 2012, $623.7 million in 2013, $929.4 million in 2014, and $847.6 million in 2015 (12% CAGR). U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share were $1.22 in 2011, $1.52 in 2012, $1.58 in 2013, $2.34 in 2014, and $1.70 in 2015 (9% CAGR).
Our track record of excellence in business execution and outstanding performance is further demonstrated by the long-term shareholder value creation that our exceptional team has achieved. As shown below, Mylans TSR over the last three and five years has significantly outperformed both the S&P 500 Index and the S&P 500 Pharmaceuticals Index.
* TSR data is from Bloomberg and reflects total return (including price appreciation and reinvested dividends) as of December 31, 2015.

Positioning Mylan for Outstanding Long-Term Growth
In 2015, we also continued to position Mylan for long-term growth by further strengthening and expanding our exceptional and differentiated global platform and portfolio and investing in our strategic organic growth drivers, which we complemented by executing on value-creating strategic acquisitions and other business development opportunities.
For instance, we continue to invest strategically in research and development and in strengthening our already-powerful manufacturing and commercial infrastructure, resulting in a 23% CAGR of our annual R&D investment since 2011. We also made significant advances in our strategic organic growth drivers, such as the continued growth of EpiPen® Auto-Injector, expansion and advancement of our biosimilars portfolio, and the development of a leading respiratory franchise. We expect that these growth drivers will help drive continued and sustained business performance and value creation over both short- and long-term periods.
Complementing the execution on our strategic growth drivers in 2015 was our ability to capitalize on strategic inorganic growth opportunities. 2015 was a year of unprecedented activity for Mylan in identifying and executing on significant M&A opportunities, during which we completed or initiated three significant M&A transactions with an aggregate enterprise value of approximately $17 billion. Specifically, we completed the EPD and Famy Care transactions, and announced the planned acquisition of Meda. These transactions serve to increase Mylans geographic footprint and infrastructure in key markets, expand our presence and capabilities in key therapeutic franchises, and provide strong financial and strategic benefits that position us well for the future.
Executive Compensation Remained Closely Aligned with Performance
The Mylan Board has structured the companys executive compensation program to create a maximum return on executive leadership. Our compensation program is designed to incentivize the continued development of a robust, sustainable platform, as well as outstanding performance and shareholder value creation over the short- and long-term. Further, we strive to ensure that the program is closely aligned with shareholder and other stakeholder interests. We believe that this approach has demonstrably benefitted shareholders and other stakeholders, as exemplified by the consistent exceptional performance of the Company since 2007.
Adjusted diluted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure. See Appendix A for reconciliation of adjusted diluted EPS to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure.
*Midpoint of 2016 guidance range
**Stated 2018 target; this is a long-term target only and does not represent company guidance.
U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share in 2008 were $(1.10), 2009 were $0.30, 2010 were $0.68, 2011 were $1.22, 2012 were $1.52, 2013 were $1.58, 2014 were $2.34, and 2015 were $1.70. The midpoint of forecasted U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share for 2016 is $2.41.

We believe that this record of performance and accomplishment is directly attributable to Mylans outstanding leaders and global workforce, and our carefully crafted, robust compensation program. As shown by the following charts and data, our compensation philosophy was clearly successful in 2015 and over the past several years, as compensation has remained closely aligned with the outstanding performance noted above, as well as the continued building of a long-term, sustainable company.
Alignment of CEO Realizable Pay* with TSR Performance
* | Realizable pay includes cumulative salary and annual incentives paid for the most recent three years, plus current value (as of December 31, 2015) of options (intrinsic value) as well as time-based restricted stock/units granted during the most recent three years, plus the value of performance-based long-term incentive awards earned (which excludes awards granted in connection with the One-Time Special Performance-Based Incentive Program (as defined below), which are still subject to performance-based criteria), plus change in pension value and all other compensation for the most recent three years. TSR data is from the S&P Research Insight Database. Peer companies in this chart reflect the 2015 peer companies listed on page [●] of this Proxy Statement (excluding Hospira Inc., which was acquired in September 2015, and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., for whom sufficient information was not publicly available, and including Allergan plc in place of Actavis plc and Allergan, Inc.). |
| Approximately 84% of target compensation for the Named Executive Officers was in the form of annual and long-term incentives and, therefore, linked to Company performance and/or stock performance. |
page iv
| Targets for annual incentive compensation were based on adjusted diluted EPS on a constant currency basis, global regulatory submissions, and adjusted free cash flow. These measures represent key performance indicators of the current and future strength of our business and support the continued strategy to ensure long-term sustainability. As shown in the chart below, Mylans 2015 financial and operational performance exceeded the rigorous goals established by the Mylan Board. |
* | The adjusted diluted EPS amount is calculated from Mylans audited financial statements in the same manner as Mylan publicly reports adjusted diluted EPS (which for 2015 is reconciled to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure in Appendix A), but is measured on a constant currency basis. Adjusted free cash flow is calculated from Mylans audited financial statements in the same manner as Mylan publicly reports adjusted free cash flow (which for 2015 is reconciled to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure in Appendix A). |
| Long-term incentive grants were composed of a mix of performance-based restricted stock units, stock options, and restricted stock units, with a significantly greater emphasis on performance-based restricted stock units, representing 60% of the total value of the long-term incentive grants. The metrics used for the performance-based restricted stock units were return on invested capital and total shareholder return of Mylans common stock relative to peer companies, linking these long-term incentives directly to common stock performance and meaningful financial measures. |
Continued Execution on a Long-Term Strategy for Growth and Value Creation
The Mylan Board has always demonstrated a commitment to long-term sustainable growth and value creation. In terms of vision, strategy, leadership structure, execution, and compensation, we strive to differentiate Mylan in ways that best serve the interests of shareholders and other stakeholders. We also continually strive to avoid short-sighted focus on non-strategic temporary short-term gains at the expense of long-term, sustainable value creation. And, with the support of shareholders, we have structured the Company and our compensation programs to support these compelling goals.
We remain committed to engaging with shareholders as the Company evolves. We truly welcome your input and appreciate your continued support of the Company.

Questions and Answers About the Annual General Meeting and Voting
|
The following questions and answers are intended to address briefly some questions that you, as a Mylan shareholder, may have regarding the matters to be voted on at the annual general meeting of shareholders (AGM). These questions and answers highlight only some of the information contained in this proxy statement. Mylan urges you to read carefully the entire proxy statement because the information in this section does not provide all the important information with respect to these matters.
Unless the context expressly provides otherwise, this proxy statement describes the rights of Mylan ordinary shareholders to attend and, if relevant, vote at the Mylan AGM, including the procedures for convening the AGM and for Mylan ordinary shareholders exercising voting and other rights at such meeting. Generally similar rights apply in respect of Mylan preferred shareholders.
Q: | Why am I receiving this proxy statement? |
A: | You are receiving this proxy statement because you were a Mylan shareholder or beneficial owner of Mylan shares on the Record Date (as defined below) for the AGM. This proxy statement serves as the proxy statement through which the Mylan Board will solicit proxies in connection with the Proposals. |
This proxy statement contains important information about the Proposals, and you should read it carefully and in its entirety. The enclosed voting materials allow you, at your option, to vote your shares without attending the AGM.
You may mark, sign, and date your proxy card and return it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope, or vote over the Internet or by telephone, in accordance with the instructions contained in this proxy statement so that your Mylan ordinary shares may be represented and voted at the AGM. For more information, see the question below entitled How do I vote?.
Q: | When and where will the AGM be held? |
A: | The AGM will be held at [●], the Netherlands on June 24, 2016 at [●] Central European Time (CET). |
Q: | How can I attend the AGM? |
A: | If you wish to attend the AGM in person, please so inform Mylan in writing (such notice to be sent to Mylans office address as set forth in the Notice of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to the attention of Mylans Corporate Secretary prior to [●] Central European Time (CET) on [●] (the Cut-Off Time). |
Beneficial owners of Mylan ordinary shares that are not traded through the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) and held through a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee may not vote the underlying ordinary shares at the Mylan AGM unless they first obtain (where appropriate, through the relevant broker, bank, trust company or other nominee) a signed proxy card from the relevant shareholder who is registered in the Register as the holder on the Record Date of the underlying ordinary shares. In addition, beneficial owners of Mylan ordinary shares must provide proof of ownership, such as a recent account statement or letter from a brokerage firm, bank nominee, or other institution proving ownership on the Record Date.
Beneficial owners of Mylan ordinary shares that are traded through the TASE may not vote the underlying ordinary shares at the Mylan AGM unless they first obtain an ownership certificate from the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Clearing House Ltd. (the TASE Clearing House) member through which the underlying ordinary shares are registered (which you can obtain from your TASE broker) indicating the beneficial ownership of those ordinary shares on the Record Date.
Proper identification, such as a drivers license or passport, must be presented at the meeting.
page 1
Q: | Who is entitled to vote at the AGM and how many votes do they have? |
A: | Dutch law provides that the record date for the AGM must be 28 days prior to the date of the AGM; thus, the record date is May 27, 2016 (the Record Date). Mylan shareholders who on the Record Date are registered in Mylans shareholder register (the Register) may attend the AGM and, if relevant, vote at such meeting in person or authorize a third party to attend and, if relevant, vote at the meeting on their behalf through the use of a proxy card. |
If you are a beneficial owner of Mylan ordinary shares and hold your shares through a bank, broker, trust company, or other nominee (street name), the relevant institution will send you instructions describing the procedure for instructing the relevant institution as to how to vote the Mylan ordinary shares you beneficially own.
If you wish to vote the Mylan ordinary shares you beneficially own directly either in person at the AGM or by proxy, you must first obtain a signed legal proxy from the bank, broker, trust company or other nominee through which you beneficially own your Mylan ordinary shares, or if you are a beneficial owner of Mylan ordinary shares traded through the TASE, you must obtain a certificate of ownership from the TASE Clearing House member through which your Mylan ordinary shares are registered (which you can obtain from your TASE broker).
As of the close of business on [●], 2016 (the last practicable date prior to the Record Date and the mailing of the proxy statement), there were [●] Mylan ordinary shares and no Mylan preferred shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Each Mylan share is entitled to one vote on each matter properly brought before the AGM. Shareholders do not have cumulative voting rights.
Unless the context otherwise requires, references to (a) Mylan ordinary shareholders refer to both (i) shareholders who on the Record Date are registered in the Register as holders of Mylan ordinary shares and (ii) others with meeting rights under Dutch law with respect to Mylan ordinary shares, who on the Record Date are registered as such in the Register, (b) Mylan preferred shareholders refer to both (i) shareholders who on the Record Date are registered in the Register as holders of Mylan preferred shares and (ii) others with meeting rights under Dutch law with respect to Mylan preferred shares who, on the Record Date, are registered as such in the Register, and (c) Mylan shareholders refer to Mylan ordinary shareholders and Mylan preferred shareholders. The invitation to attend and vote at the AGM is being extended to such persons. Beneficial owners of Mylan ordinary shares are invited to attend the AGM and, if they obtain a legal proxy, or if you are a beneficial owner of Mylan ordinary shares traded through the TASE, a certificate of ownership, as described above, to vote at the AGM.
Q: | What vote is required to adopt each of the Proposals? |
A: | Consistent with established Dutch law and the Companys articles of association, executive directors and non-executive directors are appointed by the general meeting from a binding nomination proposed by the Mylan Board. The proposed candidate specified in a binding nomination shall be appointed provided that the requisite quorum is present or represented at the general meeting, unless the nomination is overruled by the general meeting voting against the appointment of the candidate by a resolution adopted with a majority of at least two-thirds of the votes cast, representing more than half of the issued share capital. In such event, the Mylan Board may draw up a new binding nomination to be submitted at a subsequent general meeting. |
Other than for the appointment of directors, each Proposal requires the affirmative vote of an absolute majority of the valid votes cast at the AGM. A quorum of at least one-third of the issued share capital is separately required for the adoption of each Proposal. If a quorum of at least one-third of the issued share capital is not present or represented with respect to any Proposal, such Proposal cannot be validly adopted at the AGM.
page 2
Q: | How does the Mylan Board recommend that I vote? |
A: | The Mylan Board unanimously recommends that the Mylan shareholders vote FOR the appointment of each director; FOR the adoption of the Dutch annual accounts for fiscal year 2015; FOR ratification of the selection of Deloitte as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2016; FOR instruction to Deloitte Accountants B.V. for the audit of the Companys Dutch annual accounts for fiscal year 2016; FOR approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of the Named Executive Officers of the Company; FOR re-approval of the performance goals set forth in the Companys 2003 Long Term Incentive Plan; and FOR authorization of the Mylan Board to acquire ordinary shares and preferred shares in the capital of the Company. |
Q: | How do I vote? |
A: | Mylan shareholders may cast their votes at the meeting, over the Internet, by submitting a proxy card, or by calling a toll-free number in accordance with the instructions contained in this proxy statement. |
If the ownership of your Mylan ordinary shares is reflected directly on the Register as of the Record Date and you vote by proxy, the individuals named on the enclosed proxy card will vote your Mylan ordinary shares in the manner you indicate. If you do not specify voting instructions, then the proxy will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the Mylan Board, as described in this proxy statement.
If you are a beneficial owner of Mylan ordinary shares and hold your shares in street name through a bank, broker, trust company, or other nominee, the relevant institution will send you instructions describing the procedure for instructing the relevant institution as to how to vote the Mylan ordinary shares you beneficially own.
Q: | If my shares are held in street name by my broker, will my broker automatically vote my shares for me? |
A: | If you hold your shares in street name, your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee cannot vote your shares on non-routine matters without instructions from you. Each of the Proposals is considered a non-routine matter, other than the ratification of the selection of Deloitte as Mylans independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2016 (which is considered a routine matter). You should instruct your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee as to how to vote your Mylan ordinary shares, following the directions from your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee provided to you. Please check the voting form used by your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee. |
If you do not give instructions to your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee, the broker, bank, trust company or other nominee will nevertheless be entitled to vote your ordinary shares in its discretion on routine matters and may give or authorize the giving of a proxy to vote the ordinary shares in its discretion on such matters. In such an instance, your shares will be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum with respect to such Proposal. If you do not provide your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee with instructions and your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee submits an unvoted proxy with respect to a Proposal (either because it is non-routine or such broker, bank, trust company or other nominee does not give its discretion with respect to a routine Proposal), your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum with respect to that Proposal.
Beneficial owners of Mylan ordinary shares held through a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee may not vote the underlying ordinary shares at the Mylan AGM, unless they first obtain (where appropriate, through the relevant broker, bank, trust company or other nominee) a signed proxy card from the relevant shareholder who is registered in the Register as the holder on the Record Date of the underlying ordinary shares, or if you are a beneficial owner of Mylan ordinary shares traded through the TASE, unless you obtain a certificate of ownership from the TASE Clearing House member through which your Mylan ordinary shares are registered (which you can obtain from your TASE broker).
page 3
Q: | What will happen if I fail to vote or I abstain from voting? |
A: | If you do not exercise your vote because you do not submit a properly executed proxy card to Mylan, and do not vote over the Internet or by calling the toll-free number we have provided, in accordance with the instructions contained in this proxy statement in a timely fashion or by failing to attend the AGM to vote in person or fail to instruct your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee how to vote on a non-routine matter (a failure to vote), it will have no effect on the Proposal. If you mark your proxy or voting instructions expressly to abstain or to cast a blank vote for any Proposal, it will also have no effect on such Proposal. If you do not give instructions to your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee, the broker, bank, trust company or other nominee will nevertheless be entitled to vote your ordinary shares in its discretion on routine matters and may give or authorize the giving of a proxy to vote the ordinary shares in its discretion on such matters. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Mylan shareholder returns a properly executed proxy card in a timely fashion without indicating how to vote on one or more of the Proposals (and without indicating expressly to abstain or to cast a blank vote), the Mylan ordinary shares represented by such proxy will count for the purposes of determining the presence of a quorum with respect to such Proposal(s), will be voted in favor of the/each such Proposal in accordance with the recommendation of the Mylan Board, and it will not be considered a failure to vote. |
Q: | What constitutes a quorum? |
A: | At least one-third of the issued Mylan shares must be separately represented at the AGM with respect to a Proposal to constitute a quorum with respect to that Proposal. Abstentions, blank votes and invalid votes will be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum (although they are considered to be votes that were not cast). If you do not give instructions to your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee, the broker, bank, trust company or other nominee will nevertheless be entitled to vote your ordinary shares in its discretion on routine matters and may give or authorize the giving of a proxy to vote the ordinary shares in its discretion on such matters. In such an instance, your shares will be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum with respect to such Proposal. If your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee does not vote your ordinary shares in its discretion on routine matters, your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum with respect to such Proposal. Failures to vote (which, as described above, includes instances where you fail to instruct your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee to vote on a non-routine matter) on a Proposal will not be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum with respect to that Proposal. |
Q: | What will happen if I return my proxy card without indicating how to vote? |
A: | If you return your properly executed proxy card in a timely fashion without indicating how to vote on any one or more of the Proposals (and without indicating expressly to abstain or to cast a blank vote), the Mylan ordinary shares represented by such proxy will count for the purposes of determining the presence of a quorum with respect to such Proposal(s), will be voted in favor of each such Proposal in accordance with the recommendation of the Mylan Board, and it will not be considered a failure to vote with respect to such Proposal(s). |
Q: | Can I change my vote after I have returned a proxy card? |
A: | Yes. You can change your vote of your Mylan shares as indicated on your proxy card or revoke your proxy at any time prior to the Cut-Off Time. You can do this by (a) voting again by telephone or the Internet or (b) submitting another properly executed proxy card, dated as of a later date (but prior to the Cut-Off Time), in writing (to be sent to Mylans office address as set forth in the Notice of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to the attention of Mylans Corporate Secretary). Alternatively, you may give notice of your attendance at the meeting (prior to the Cut-Off Time in the manner described above) and vote in person. |
If your shares are held through and/or in street name by your broker, bank, trust company, other nominee, you should contact your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee to change your vote or revoke your voting instructions.
page 4
Q: | What happens if I transfer my Mylan ordinary shares before the AGM? |
A: | The Record Date for the AGM is earlier than the date of the AGM. If you transfer your Mylan ordinary shares after the Record Date, you will retain your right to attend and vote at the AGM. |
Q: | Where can I find the voting results of the AGM? |
A: | Mylan expects to announce the preliminary voting results at the AGM. In addition, within four business days following certification of the final voting results, Mylan intends to file the final voting results of the AGM with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) in a Current Report on Form 8-K. |
Q: | What do I need to do now? |
A: | Carefully read and consider the information contained in this proxy statement and vote your shares either in person or by telephone, the Internet or the use of a proxy card, as described in this proxy statement. |
If you are a Mylan ordinary shareholder who on the Record Date is registered in the Register, in order for your ordinary shares to be represented at the AGM, you can:
| attend the AGM in person; |

Voting Item 1 Appointment of Directors
|
The Mylan Board consists of 13 directors, each of whom is either an executive director or a non-executive director pursuant to applicable Dutch law. Executive directors are responsible for the daily management and operation of the Company and non-executive directors are responsible for overseeing and monitoring the performance of the executive directors.
Consistent with established Dutch law and the Companys articles of association, executive directors and non-executive directors are appointed by the general meeting from a binding nomination proposed by the Mylan Board. The proposed candidate specified in a binding nomination shall be appointed provided that the requisite quorum is present or represented at the general meeting, unless the nomination is overruled by the general meeting (which would result if a majority of at least two-thirds of the votes cast, representing more than half of the issued share capital, vote against the appointment of such director, with abstentions, blank votes and invalid votes not considered votes cast), in which case he or she will not be appointed. In such event, the Mylan Board may propose a new binding nomination to be submitted at a subsequent general meeting. If appointed, each directors term begins at the general meeting at which he or she is appointed and, unless such director resigns or is suspended or dismissed at an earlier date, his or her term of office lapses immediately after the next annual general meeting held after his or her appointment. In accordance with the recommendation of the Companys Governance and Nominating Committee, the Mylan Board has unanimously adopted resolutions to make the following binding nominations:
1. | The Mylan Board has nominated Heather Bresch and Rajiv Malik to serve as executive directors for a term ending immediately after the next annual general meeting held after their appointment. |
2. | The Mylan Board has nominated Wendy Cameron, Hon. Robert J. Cindrich, Robert J. Coury, JoEllen Lyons Dillon, Neil Dimick, Melina Higgins, Douglas J. Leech, Joseph C. Maroon, M.D., Mark W. Parrish, Rodney L. Piatt, and Randall L. (Pete) Vanderveen, Ph.D, R.Ph to serve as non-executive directors for a term ending immediately after the next annual general meeting held after their appointment. |
The Mylan Board and the Governance and Nominating Committee have carefully considered the structure, culture, operation, interactions, collaboration, and performance of the current Mylan Board; the talents, expertise, and contributions of individual directors; the massive growth and creation of shareholder and other stakeholder value under the current Mylan Boards leadership; the continued outstanding performance of the Company; the anticipated future challenges and opportunities facing the Company; and the Mylan Boards ongoing commitment to ensuring the long-term sustainability of the Company to the benefit of shareholders and other stakeholders. Based on these considerations, among others, the Mylan Board recommends a vote FOR the appointment of each director.
Each of the proposed appointments is considered a separate voting item under Dutch law. Information concerning each of the 13 nominated directors is set forth below. Each nominee is currently on the Mylan Board and each has consented to act as a director of Mylan if appointed at the annual general meeting. This Voting Item 1 comprises the explanatory notes to the agenda of the annual general meeting as referred to in Section 8.02(d) of Mylans articles of association.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires all directors and certain executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of Mylans equity securities to file with the SEC within specified due dates reports of ownership and reports of changes of ownership of Mylan ordinary shares and our other equity securities. These persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

Voting Item 2 Adoption of Dutch Annual Accounts for Fiscal Year 2015
|
At the annual general meeting, shareholders will be asked to adopt the Companys Dutch statutory annual accounts for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, which are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (IFRS).
As a public limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands, Mylan is required by Dutch law to prepare the Dutch statutory annual accounts and submit them to shareholders for adoption. The Companys Dutch statutory annual accounts are different from the consolidated financial statements contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 that were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and filed with the SEC.
A copy of the Dutch statutory annual accounts is available free of charge on our website at http://www.mylan.com/en/company/corporate-governance and at our office address at Building 4, Trident Place, Mosquito Way, Hatfield, Hertfordshire, AL10 9UL England.
A representative of Deloitte Accountants B.V. is expected to be present at the annual general meeting and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders, and will be given an opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so.
THE MYLAN BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE ADOPTION OF OUR DUTCH STATUTORY ANNUAL ACCOUNTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2015.

Report of the Audit Committee of the Mylan Board
The following Report of the Audit Committee of the Mylan Board does not constitute soliciting material and shall not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates such information by reference.
February 5, 2016
The Audit Committee is currently comprised of four directors, each of whom is independent as required by and as defined in the audit committee independence standards of the SEC and the applicable NASDAQ listing standards. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board, a copy of which is available on the Companys website at mylan.com/company/corporate-policy.
Management is responsible for the preparation and integrity of the Companys financial statements. Management is also responsible for implementing and maintaining appropriate accounting and financial reporting policies, procedures, and internal controls designed to ensure compliance with applicable accounting standards and laws and regulations. The independent registered public accounting firm (the independent auditor) is responsible for auditing and reviewing the Companys financial statements and auditing the Companys internal control over financial reporting, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), and to issue their reports thereon. One of the Audit Committees responsibilities is to oversee these processes.
In this context, the Audit Committee met a total of 4 times between February 27, 2015 (which is the date on which Mylan N.V. became a publicly traded company) and December 31, 2015 (and, between January 1, 2015 and February 27, 2015, the Audit Committee of Mylan Inc. (the entity to which Mylan N.V. is successor) met once), and has reviewed and discussed with management, including Mylans internal auditor, and with the independent auditor Mylans audited consolidated financial statements and its internal control over financial reporting. These discussions covered the quality, as well as the acceptability, of Mylans financial reporting practices and the completeness and clarity of the related financial disclosures as well as the effectiveness of Mylans internal control over financial reporting and its disclosure controls and procedures. Management represented to the Audit Committee that Mylans consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the independent auditor. The Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditor the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 16 (as codified, AS 1301).
Mylans independent auditor also provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures and letter required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOBs Rule 3526 regarding the independent auditors communications with the Audit Committee concerning the independent auditors independence, and the Audit Committee discussed these matters with the independent auditor. The Audit Committee has also considered whether the independent auditors provision of non-audit services to Mylan is compatible with the firms independence. Deloitte & Touche LLP, Mylans independent auditor, stated in the written disclosures that in their judgment they are, in fact, independent. The Audit Committee concurred in that judgment of independence.
Based upon the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in Mylans Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2015, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Our track record of excellence in business execution and outstanding performance is further demonstrated by the long-term shareholder value creation that our exceptional team has achieved. As shown below, Mylans TSR over the last three and five years has significantly outperformed both the S&P 500 Index and the S&P 500 Pharmaceuticals Index.
* TSR data is from Bloomberg and reflects total return (including price appreciation and reinvested dividends) as of December 31, 2015.
In addition to outstanding long-term shareholder value creation, we have also generated exceptional returns on our invested capital. In 2015, cash return on operating invested capital, cash return on invested capital excluding goodwill, and cash return on total invested capital were 52%, 22%, and 15%, respectively, continuing our outstanding long-term performance in those areas as well (see Appendix A for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure).
Strengthening and Expanding our Exceptional and Differentiated Global Platform and Portfolio
Mylan has earned a well-deserved reputation for innovation within the generics and specialty pharmaceuticals spaces. Our executive leadership team, together with Mylans outstanding workforce, has a track record of successfully developing and bringing to market products that are difficult to formulate or manufacture to which the many innovative companies that have made Mylan a partner of choice can attest. To remain at the industrys forefront, we continue to invest heavily in research and development and in strengthening our already-powerful manufacturing and commercial infrastructure.

(1) | Mr. Sheehan retired from the Company effective April 1, 2016. |
(2) | Represents the value of the base salary actually paid to the NEOs in 2015. The annual base salary approved by the Compensation Committee for each of the NEOs is payable in accordance with the Companys normal payroll practices for its senior executives, so that an NEOs total base salary amount is paid to him or her in 26 equal bi-weekly installments. 2015 included an additional payment date (a total of 27 payments were made in 2015), therefore the amounts shown for 2015 are greater than the applicable NEOs annual base salary. |
(3) | Represents the grant date fair value of the stock awards granted to the NEO in 2015, 2014, and 2013, as applicable. For information regarding assumptions used in determining such expense, please refer to Note 11 to the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. |
(4) | Represents the grant date fair value of the option awards granted to the NEO in 2015, 2014, and 2013, as applicable. For information regarding assumptions used in determining such expense, please refer to Note 11 to the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. For 2014, also includes the grant date fair value of SARs granted under the One-Time Special Performance-Based Incentive Program, which were as follows: $13,202,000 for Ms. Bresch; $11,316,000 for Mr. Malik; $9,430,000 for Mr. Coury; and $2,357,500 for Messrs. Sheehan and Mauro. |
(5) | Represents amounts paid under the Companys non-equity incentive compensation plan. For a discussion of this plan, see the Compensation Discussion and Analysis set forth above. |
(6) | Represents the aggregate change in present value of the applicable NEOs accumulated benefit under his or her respective RBA or the Amended Retirement Benefit Agreement (Amended RBA) for Mr. Coury. In computing these amounts, we used the same assumptions that were used to determine the expense amounts recognized in our 2015 financial statements. In 2015, the impact of a decrease in the applicable discount rates led to an increase in the present value of accumulated benefits of approximately $129,954 for Ms. Bresch, approximately $13,091 for Mr. Sheehan, and approximately $37,751 for Mr. Malik. For further information concerning the RBAs, see the Pension Benefits for 2015 table set forth below and the discussion under Retirement Benefit Agreements beginning on page [●] of this Proxy Statement. |
(7) | Amounts shown in this column are detailed in the chart on the next page. |
(8) | In order to show the effect that the one-time tax reimbursement with respect to the Transaction-Related Excise Tax had on total compensation, as determined under applicable SEC rules, we have included an additional column to show total compensation less this item. The amounts reported in the Total without Transaction-Related Excise Tax Reimbursement column differ substantially from the amounts reported in the Total column required under SEC rules and are not a substitute for total compensation. Total without Transaction-Related Excise Tax Reimbursement represents total compensation, as determined under applicable SEC rules, minus, for 2015 only, the value of the one-time tax reimbursement with respect to the Transaction-Related Excise Tax reported in the All Other Compensation column. The tax reimbursement with respect to the Transaction-Related Excise Tax was a one-time payment so that, on a net after-tax basis, the NEO would be in the same position as if the Transaction-Related Excise Tax had not been imposed. |

(a) | In the case of Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Sheehan and Mauro, these numbers represent a vehicle allowance. In the case of Messrs. Malik and Coury, this number represents the cost of a vehicle (based on lease value), insurance, and, in the case of Mr. Coury only, ancillary expenses associated with such vehicle. |
(b) | Amounts disclosed represent the actual aggregate incremental costs incurred by Mylan associated with the personal use of the Companys aircraft. Incremental costs include annual average hourly fuel and maintenance costs, landing and parking fees, customs and handling charges, passenger catering and ground transportation, crew travel expenses, away from home hanger fees, and other trip-related variable costs. Because the aircrafts are used primarily for business travel, incremental costs exclude fixed costs that do not change based on usage, such as pilots salaries, aircraft purchase or lease costs, home-base hangar costs, and certain maintenance fees. Aggregate incremental cost as so determined with respect to personal deadhead flights is allocable to the NEO. In certain instances where there are both business and personal passengers, the incremental costs per hour are pro-rated. |
(c) | Represents a housing allowance afforded to Mr. Malik. |
(d) | Expatriate benefits for Mr. Malik represent income taxes paid by Mylan in connection with Mr. Maliks expatriate assignment to the United States from India effective January 1, 2012. Specifically, Mr. Malik is responsible for, and has continued to pay taxes equal to those he would have been obligated for had he maintained his principal work location and residence in India rather than having transferred, at Mylans request, to the United States, while Mylan has responsibility for all additional taxes, including Mr. Maliks tax obligations on the imputed income associated with Mylans payment of taxes on his behalf. Amounts shown for 2015, 2014, and 2013 for Mr. Malik are net of Mylans estimated tax refunds for each year. Estimated refunds were approximately $1.1 million for 2015, $1.5 million for 2014, and $0.3 million for 2013. Expatriate benefits for Mr. Mauro represent income taxes paid by the Company in connection with certain equity awards held by Mr. Mauro relating to a period when he provided services in Canada. |
(e) | In 2015, amounts disclosed for Ms. Bresch included a matched contribution of $10,592, and a profit sharing contribution from the Company of $18,200. In 2015, such amounts for each of Messrs. Sheehan, Mauro, and Coury were $10,600 and $18,200, respectively. In 2014, amounts disclosed for Ms. Bresch included the total of a $17,850 matched contribution and $9,430 in Company profit sharing, and for each of Messrs. Sheehan, Mauro, and Coury such amounts were $17,850 and $10,400, respectively. In 2013, amounts disclosed for Ms. Bresch included the total of a $9,808 matched contribution and $17,500 in Company profit sharing, and for each of Messrs. Sheehan and Coury such amounts were $10,200 and $17,500, respectively. Effective April 1, 2013, Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Sheehan and Coury are no longer eligible to receive matching contributions under the Restoration Plan. |
(f) | Represents profit sharing contribution under the Restoration Plan. Effective April 1, 2013, Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Sheehan and Coury are no longer eligible to receive matching contributions under the Restoration Plan. See page [●] of this Proxy Statement for further information regarding Restoration Plan contributions. |
(g) | Represents the one-time tax reimbursement payment with respect to the Transaction-Related Excise Tax imposed on awards granted under the One-Time Special Performance-Based Incentive Program and the stock options granted in 2014, so that, on a net after-tax basis, the NEO would be in the same position as if the Transaction-Related Excise Tax had not been imposed. See pages [●] to [●] of this Proxy Statement for further discussion of this payment. |
(h) | Represents out-of-pocket medical, vision, health insurance, long-term disability, and life insurance retention plan premiums. For Mr. Malik, it also represents employee contributions to the Provident Fund, a statutory plan in India, and a health insurance premium. Also includes: events and memberships; certain security services; life insurance retention plan premium for Ms. Bresch and Mr. Mauro; long-term disability premium for Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Sheehan, Mauro, and Coury; and executive physicals for Ms. Bresch and Mr. Sheehan. |

In the case of options granted in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 to Mr. Coury, in 2013, 2014, and 2015 to Ms. Bresch, and in 2014 and 2015 to Mr. Malik, following termination of employment without cause or resignation for good reason (as determined pursuant to the applicable employment agreement), 100% of options become vested and vested options will remain exercisable for one year following termination. |
(2) | All of the RSUs shown in this column vested one-third on March 4, 2016, and the remaining RSUs will vest 50% on each of March 4, 2017 and 2018 except that Mr. Sheehans unvested RSUs were forfeited in connection with his retirement. In accordance with their terms, all of these awards would vest upon an involuntary termination without cause or a voluntary resignation for good reason occurs within two years following the change in control (double trigger awards). In the case of awards granted to Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Malik and Coury, the awards would also vest upon the executives retirement, termination without cause or resignation for good reason as defined in the applicable employment agreement. |
(3) | The market value of restricted ordinary shares, RSUs and PRSUs was calculated using the closing price of the Companys ordinary shares as of December 31, 2015. |
(4) | On June 10, 2015, the SARs granted under the One-Time Special Performance-Based Incentive Program converted into restricted ordinary shares pursuant to the terms of the program, with any fractional shares converted into restricted cash awards. The restricted ordinary shares (and the restricted cash awards) remain subject to forfeiture and additional vesting conditions, including achievement of adjusted diluted EPS of $6.00 and continued service through December 31, 2018, and the other terms and conditions of the program. The One-Time Special Performance-Based Incentive Program is described in detail in the Form 10-K/A for Mylans fiscal year ending December 31, 2014. In accordance with their terms, the restricted ordinary shares (and restricted cash awards) would vest upon a change in control. In the case of awards granted to Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Malik and Coury, the restricted ordinary shares (and restricted cash awards) would also vest upon the executives termination without cause or resignation for good reason as defined in the applicable employment agreement, subject to the achievement of the applicable performance goals, except that, in the case of Ms. Bresch and Mr. Malik, if such termination or resignation occurs prior to January 1, 2017, only a pro-rated portion of the restricted ordinary shares will vest. Mr. Sheehans restricted ordinary shares (and his restricted cash awards) were forfeited in connection with his retirement. |
(5) | The vesting of all of the PRSUs shown in this column is subject to the attainment of performance goals. On March 4, 2018, Ms. Bresch is expected to vest in 76,984 shares, Mr. Malik is expected to vest in 47,375 shares, Mr. Mauro is expected to vest in 18,506 shares, and Mr. Coury is expected to vest in 71,951 shares. Mr. Sheehans PRSUs were forfeited in connection with his retirement. The PRSUs are expected to vest upon the earliest to occur of (i) March 4, 2018, provided that the performance goals have been satisfied, (ii) an involuntary termination without cause or a voluntary resignation for good reason within two years following the change in control, (iii) the executives death or disability, and (iv) in the case of awards granted to Ms. Bresch and Messrs. Malik and Coury, the executives retirement, termination without cause, or resignation for good reason as defined in the applicable employment agreement. Any outstanding shares subject to the award that remain unvested as of March 4, 2018 will be forfeited. |

(a) | Adjustment for purchase accounting related amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively includes $31 million, $28 million, $18 million, $42 million and $16 million of intangible asset impairment charges. |
(b) | Adjustment represents exclusion of the pre-tax loss related to Mylans clean energy investments, the activities of which qualify for income tax credits under section 45 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). The amount is included in other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
(c) | Adjustment represents approximately $71.2 million related to the termination of certain interest rate swaps and changes of approximately $40.8 million related to the redemption of the Companys 7.875% Senior Notes due to 2020 for the year ended December 31, 2015. |
A-2
(d) | Adjustment for other income tax related items includes the exclusion from adjusted net earnings of the tax benefit of approximately $156 million related to the merger of the Companys wholly owned subsidiaries, Agila Specialties Private Limited and Onco Therapies Limited, into Mylan Laboratories Limited for the year ended December 31, 2014. |
(e) | Adjusted diluted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2010, includes the full effect of the conversion of the companys preferred stock into 125.2 million shares of common stock on November 15, 2010. Adjusted diluted EPS for the period ended December 31, 2009 was calculated under the if-converted method which assumes conversion of the Companys preferred stock into shares of common stock, based on an average share price, and excludes the preferred dividend from the calculation, as the if-converted method is more dilutive. |

MYLAN N.V.
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2003 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
ARTICLE I
PURPOSE AND ADOPTION OF THE PLAN
1.01 Purpose. The purpose of the Mylan Inc. Amended and Restated 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as the same may be amended from time to time, the Plan) is to assist Mylan Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (previously known as Mylan Laboratories Inc.) (the Company), and its Subsidiaries (as defined below) in attracting and retaining highly competent key employees, consultants, independent contractors and non-employee directors and to act as an incentive in motivating selected key employees, consultants, independent contractors and non-employee directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as defined below) to achieve long-term corporate objectives.
1.02 Adoption and Term. The Plan was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the Board) and became effective upon such approval and upon approval by the shareholders of the Company at the 2003 annual meeting of shareholders. The Plan was amended on December 2, 2004, April 3, 2006, March 24, 2008, and May 7, 2009, amended and restated on February 17, 2012 by the Board, subject to the approval by shareholders of the Company at the 2012 annual meeting of shareholders (the date on which such shareholder approval is obtained, the Re-Approval Date) and amended on February 25, 2014. The Plan was subsequently assumed by Mylan N.V., a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands (Mylan N.V.), and all references to Mylan Inc. were deemed to be references to Mylan N.V. and all references to shares of Mylan Inc. common stock were deemed to be references to ordinary shares of Mylan N.V. The Plan shall remain in effect until terminated by action of the Board; provided, however, that no Incentive Stock Option (as defined below) may be granted hereunder after the tenth anniversary of the Re-Approval Date and the provisions of Articles VII and VIII with respect to the Performance Goals (as defined below) applicable to performance-based awards to covered employees under Section 162(m) of the Code (as defined below) shall expire as of the first shareholder meeting following the fifth anniversary of the Re-Approval Date unless such provisions are re-approved by the shareholders before such date.

The Committee shall have the sole discretionary authority to interpret the Plan, to establish and modify administrative rules for the Plan, to impose such conditions and restrictions on Awards as it determines appropriate, and to take such steps in connection with the Plan and Awards granted hereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable. The Committee may, subject to compliance with applicable legal requirements, with respect to Participants who are not subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or Section 162(m) of the Code, delegate such of its powers and authority under the Plan as it deems appropriate to a subcommittee or to designated officers or employees of the Company. In addition, the Board may exercise any of the authority conferred upon the Committee hereunder. In the event of any such delegation of authority or exercise of authority by the Board, references in the Plan to the Committee shall be deemed to refer to the delegate of the Committee or the Board, as the case may be.
3.02 Indemnification. Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Board, or a Committee appointed by the Board, or an officer of the Company to whom authority was delegated in accordance with the Plan shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any

The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Companys Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, conferred in a separate agreement with the Company, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.
ARTICLE IV
SHARES
4.01 Number of Shares Issuable. The total number of shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued under the Plan shall be an aggregate of 55,300,000 shares (17,800,000 of which shall be subject to shareholder approval of the Plan on the Re-Approval Date and all of which may be granted as Incentive Stock Options). The foregoing share limitations shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 11.08. The shares to be offered under the Plan shall be authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, or issued shares of Common Stock which will have been reacquired by the Company.

If any shares of Common Stock are withheld from those otherwise issuable or are tendered to the Company, by attestation or otherwise, in connection with the exercise of an Option, only the net number of shares of Common Stock issued as a result of such exercise shall be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares available for delivery under the Plan.
ARTICLE V
PARTICIPATION
5.01 Eligible Participants. Participants in the Plan shall be such key employees, consultants, independent contractors and non-employee directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries as the Committee, in its sole discretion, may designate from time to time. The Committees designation of a Participant in any year shall not require the Committee to designate such person to receive Awards in any other year. The designation of a Participant to receive an Award under one portion of the Plan does not require the Committee to include such Participant under other portions of the Plan. The Committee shall consider such factors as it deems pertinent in selecting Participants and in determining the types and amounts of their respective Awards. The Committee may grant Awards from time to time on a discretionary basis and/or provide for automatic Awards on a formula basis to a Participant or designated group of Participants. Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 11.08 and subject to limits on performance-based awards in Section 7.01, during any calendar year no Participant shall be granted Awards in respect of more than 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock (all of which may be granted as Options or Stock Appreciation Rights).
B-5
ARTICLE VI
STOCK OPTIONS
6.01 Option Awards.
(a) Grant of Options. The Committee may grant, to such Participants as the Committee may select, Options entitling the Participants to purchase shares of Common Stock from the Company in such numbers, at such prices, and on such terms and subject to such conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as may be established by the Committee. The terms of any Option granted under the Plan shall be set forth in an Award Agreement.
(b) Exercise Price of Options. The exercise price of each share of Common Stock which may be purchased upon exercise of any Option granted under the Plan (the Exercise Price) shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that, except in the case of any substituted Options described in Section 11.08(c) (provided that the grant of a substitute Option is made in a manner that will not result in the substitute Option being subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code), the Exercise Price shall in all cases be equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value on the Date of Grant. Except for adjustments pursuant to Section 11.08 or any action approved by the shareholders of the Company, the Exercise Price for any outstanding Option granted under the Plan may not be decreased after the Date of Grant.
(c) Designation of Options. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, the Committee may designate, at the time of the grant of an Option, such Option as an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option; provided, however, that an Option may be designated as an Incentive Stock Option only if the applicable Participant is an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary on the Date of Grant.
(d) Special Incentive Stock Option Rules. No Participant may be granted Incentive Stock Options under the Plan (or any other plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries) that would result in Incentive Stock Options to purchase shares of Common Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value (measured on the Date of Grant) of more than $100,000 first becoming exercisable by such Participant in any one calendar year. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any person who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock (including stock owned by application of the constructive ownership rules in Section 424(d) of the Code) possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, unless at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted the Exercise Price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value on the Date of Grant of the Common Stock subject to the Incentive Stock Option and the Incentive Stock Option by its terms is not exercisable for more than five (5) years from the Date of Grant.
(e) Rights as a Stockholder. A Participant or a transferee of an Option pursuant to Section 11.04 shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock covered by an Option until that Participant or transferee shall have become the holder of record of any such shares, and no adjustment shall be made with respect to any such shares of Common Stock for dividends in cash or other property or distributions of other rights on the Common Stock for which the record date is prior to the date on which that Participant or transferee shall have become the holder of record of any shares covered by such Option; provided, however, that Participants are entitled to the adjustments set forth in Section 11.08.
6.02 Stock Appreciation Rights.
(a) Stock Appreciation Right Awards. The Committee is authorized to grant to any Participant one or more Stock Appreciation Rights. Such Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted either independent of or in tandem with Options granted to the same Participant. Stock Appreciation Rights granted in tandem with Options may be granted simultaneously with, or, in the case of Non-Qualified Stock Options, subsequent to, the grant to such Participant of the related Option; provided, however, that: (i) any Option covering any share of Common Stock shall expire and not be exercisable upon the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right with respect to the same
B-6
share, (ii) any Stock Appreciation Right covering any share of Common Stock shall expire and not be exercisable upon the exercise of any related Option with respect to the same share, and (iii) an Option and Stock Appreciation Right covering the same share of Common Stock may not be exercised simultaneously. Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right with respect to a share of Common Stock, the Participant shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise over (B) the Exercise Price of such Stock Appreciation Right established in the Award Agreement, which amount shall be payable as provided in Section 6.02(c) .
(b) Exercise Price. The Exercise Price established under any Stock Appreciation Right granted under this Plan shall be determined by the Committee provided, however, that, except in the case of any substituted Awards described in Section 11.08(c) (provided that the grant of the substitute Award is made in a manner that will not result in the substitute Award being subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code), the Exercise Price shall in all cases be equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value on the Date of Grant; provided further, however, that in the case of Stock Appreciation Rights granted in tandem with Options the Exercise Price of the Stock Appreciation Right shall not be less than the Exercise Price of the related Option. Upon exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights, the number of shares subject to exercise under any related Option shall automatically be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock represented by the Option or portion thereof which are surrendered as a result of the exercise of such Stock Appreciation Rights.
(c) Payment of Incremental Value. Any payment which may become due from the Company by reason of a Participants exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right may be paid to the Participant as determined by the Committee (i) all in cash, (ii) all in Common Stock, or (iii) in any combination of cash and Common Stock. In the event that all or a portion of the payment is made in Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock delivered in satisfaction of such payment shall be determined by dividing the amount of such payment or portion thereof by the Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date. No fractional share of Common Stock shall be issued to make any payment in respect of Stock Appreciation Rights; if any fractional share would be issuable, the combination of cash and Common Stock payable to the Participant shall be adjusted as directed by the Committee to avoid the issuance of any fractional share.
6.03 Terms of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights
(a) Conditions on Exercise. An Award Agreement with respect to Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may contain such waiting periods, exercise dates and restrictions on exercise (including, but not limited to, periodic installments) as may be determined by the Committee at the time of grant.
(b) Duration of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall terminate after the first to occur of the following events:
(i) Expiration of the Option and Stock Appreciation Rights as provided in the related Award Agreement; or
(ii) Termination of the Award as provided in Section 6.03(e) following the Participants Termination of
Employment; or
(iii) Ten years from the Date of Grant.
(c) Acceleration of Exercise Time. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right (but shall not in any case be obligated), exercisable at any time after the Date of Grant, to permit the exercise of any Option and Stock Appreciation Rights prior to the time such Option and Stock Appreciation Rights would otherwise become exercisable under the terms of the related Award Agreement.
(d) Extension of Exercise Time. In addition to the extensions permitted under Section 6.03(e) in the event of Termination of Employment, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right (but shall not in any case be obligated), exercisable on or at any time after the Date of Grant, to permit the exercise of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right after its expiration date described in Section 6.03(e), subject, however, to the limitations described in Sections 6.03(b)(i) and (iii).
B-7
(e) Exercise of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights Upon Termination of Services.
(i) Death. If a Participant who is an employee of the Corporation or its subsidiaries shall die (A) while an employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries or (B) within two (2) years after termination of the Participants employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries because of the Participants Permanent Disability, any Option and Stock Appreciation Right then held by the Participant, regardless of whether it was otherwise exercisable on the date of death, may be exercised by the person or persons to whom the Participants rights under the Option and Stock Appreciation Right pass by will or applicable law or if no person has the right, by the Participants executors or administrators, at any time or from time to time, during the balance of the exercise period as set forth in Section 6.03(b)(iii) .
(ii) Permanent Disability. If a Participants employment by the Company or its Subsidiaries shall terminate because of Permanent Disability, the Participant may exercise any Option and Stock Appreciation Right then held by the Participant, regardless of whether it was otherwise exercisable on the date of such termination of employment, at any time, or from time to time, within two (2) years of the date of the termination of employment, but in no event later than the expiration date specified in Section 6.03(b)(iii) .
(iii) Retirement. If a Participants employment by the Company or its Subsidiaries shall terminate because of Retirement, any Option and Stock Appreciation Right then held by the Participant, regardless of whether it was otherwise exercisable on the date of Retirement, may be exercised by the Participant at any time, or from time to time, during the balance of the exercise period as set forth in Section 6.03(b)(iii) . If such a Participant dies after Retirement but before such Participants Options have either been exercised or otherwise expired, such Options may be exercised by the person to whom such options pass by will or applicable law or, if no person has that right, by the Participants executors or administrators at any time, or from time to time, during the balance of the exercise period set forth in Section 6.03(b)(iii) .
(iv) Reduction in Force. Unless a date of re-employment is identified at the time of a termination of employment that is the result of a reduction in force, any Options and Stock Appreciation Rights held by the Participant that are not exercisable at the date of such termination of employment shall terminate and be cancelled immediately upon such termination, and the Participant may exercise any Options and Stock Appreciation Rights that are exercisable as of the date of such termination at any time, or from time to time, within one (1) year of the date of such termination, but in no event later than the expiration date specified in Section 6.03(b)(iii) .
(v) Other Termination. Except as provided by paragraphs (i) through (iv) of this Section 6.03(e), if a Participants employment shall cease by reason of a voluntary or involuntary termination, either with or without cause, any Options and Stock Appreciation Rights held by the Participant that are not exercisable at the date of such termination of employment shall terminate and be cancelled immediately upon such termination, and the Participant may exercise any Options and Stock Appreciation Rights that are exercisable as of the date of such termination at any time, or from time to time, until the later of (A) thirty (30) days after such Participants termination of employment or (B) thirty (30) days after the Participant receives notice from the Committee of the termination of the Participants Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. Notwithstanding the prior sentence no portion of such Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable later than the expiration date specified in Section 6.03(b)(iii) .
(vi) Grants to Non-Employees. In the case of grants to persons who are not employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Committee shall establish, and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, rules for determining the effect of termination of the Participants services on the Participants outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights.
6.04 Option Exercise Procedures. Each Option and Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall be exercised by written notice to the Company which must be received by the officer or employee of the Company designated in the Award Agreement at or before the close of business on the expiration date of the
B-8
Award. The Exercise Price of shares purchased upon exercise of an Option granted under the Plan shall be paid in full in cash by the Participant pursuant to the Award Agreement; provided, however, that in lieu of such cash a Participant may pay the Exercise Price in whole or in part by delivering (actually or by attestation) to the Company shares of the Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Option equal to the Exercise Price for the shares being purchased; except that any portion of the Exercise Price representing a fraction of a share shall in any event be paid in cash. Payment may also be made, in the discretion of the Committee, by the delivery (including, without limitation, by fax) to the Company or its designated agent of an executed irrevocable option exercise form together with irrevocable instructions to a broker-dealer to sell or margin a sufficient portion of the shares and deliver the sale or margin loan proceeds directly to the Company to pay for the Exercise Price. The date of exercise of an Option shall be determined under procedures established by the Committee, and as of the date of exercise the person exercising the Option shall, as between the Company and such person, be considered for all purposes to be the owner of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Option has been exercised. Any part of the Exercise Price paid in cash upon the exercise of any Option shall be added to the general funds of the Company and may be used for any proper corporate purpose. Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine, any shares of Common Stock transferred to the Company as payment of all or part of the Exercise Price upon the exercise of any Option shall be held as treasury shares.
6.05 Change in Control. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control, all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding on the date of such Change in Control shall become immediately and fully exercisable. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the provisions of this Section 6.05 shall not be applicable to any Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted to a Participant if any Change in Control results from such Participants beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the above, unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement, with respect to each Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, if a Change in Control would have occurred under the Plan pursuant to the definition in Section 2.06 except that such Change in Control does not constitute a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company under Section 409A, then each such Award shall become vested and non-forfeitable; provided, however, that the Grantee shall not be able to exercise the Award, and the Award shall not become payable, except in accordance with the terms of such Award or until such earlier time as the exercise and/or payment complies with Section 409A of the Code.
ARTICLE VII
RESTRICTED SHARES AND RESTRICTED UNITS
7.01 Restricted Share and Restricted Unit Awards. The Committee may grant to any Participant a Restricted Share Award consisting of such number of shares of Common Stock on such terms, conditions and restrictions, whether based on performance standards, periods of service, retention by the Participant of ownership of specified shares of Common Stock or other criteria, as the Committee shall establish. The Committee may also grant Restricted Unit Awards representing the right to receive shares of Common Stock in the future subject to the achievement of one or more goals relating to the completion of service by the Participant and/or the achievement of performance or other objectives. With respect to performance-based Awards of Restricted Shares or Restricted Units intended to qualify for deductibility under the performance-based compensation exception contained in Section 162(m) of the Code, performance targets will consist of specified levels of one or more of the Performance Goals. The terms of any Restricted Share and Restricted Unit Awards granted under this Plan shall be set forth in an Award Agreement which shall contain provisions determined by the Committee and not inconsistent with this Plan; provided, however, that with respect to Restricted Units that are subject to Section 409A of the Code, the provisions of such Restricted Units shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 409A of the Code. With respect to Restricted Share, Restricted Unit Awards, Performance Awards (as set forth in Section 8.01), and Other Stock-Based Awards (as set forth in Section 9.02) intended to qualify for the performance-based compensation exception contained in Section 162(m) of the Code, the aggregate number of
B-9
Restricted Shares, Restricted Unit Awards and Performance Awards, and Other Stock-Based Awards granted to a single Participant for any performance period shall not exceed 250,000 Shares, subject to adjustment as prescribed in Section 11.08.
(a) Issuance of Restricted Shares. As soon as practicable after the Date of Grant of a Restricted Share Award by the Committee, the Company shall cause to be transferred on the books of the Company or its agent, shares of Common Stock, registered on behalf of the Participant, evidencing the Restricted Shares covered by the Award, subject to forfeiture to the Company as of the Date of Grant if an Award Agreement with respect to the Restricted Shares covered by the Award is not duly executed by the Participant and timely returned to the Company. All shares of Common Stock covered by Awards under this Article VII shall be subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions contained in the Plan and the applicable Award Agreements entered into by the appropriate Participants. Until the lapse or release of all restrictions applicable to an Award of Restricted Shares the share certificates representing such Restricted Shares may be held in custody by the Company, its designee, or, if the certificates bear a restrictive legend, by the Participant. Upon the lapse or release of all restrictions with respect to an Award as described in Section 7.01(d), one or more share certificates, registered in the name of the Participant, for an appropriate number of shares as provided in Section 7.01(d), free of any restrictions set forth in the Plan and the related Award Agreement shall be delivered to the Participant.
(b) Stockholder Rights. Beginning on the Date of Grant of a Restricted Share Award and subject to execution of the related Award Agreement as provided in Section 7.01(a), and except as otherwise provided in such Award Agreement, the Participant shall become a stockholder of the Company with respect to all shares subject to the Award Agreement and shall have all of the rights of a stockholder, including, but not limited to, the right to vote such shares and the right to receive dividends; provided, however, that any shares of Common Stock distributed as a dividend or otherwise with respect to any Restricted Shares as to which the restrictions have not yet lapsed, shall be subject to the same restrictions as such Restricted Shares and held or restricted as provided in Section 7.01(a) .
(c) Restriction on Transferability. None of the Restricted Shares may be assigned or transferred (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or to an inter vivos trust with respect to which the Participant is treated as the owner under Sections 671 through 677 of the Code), pledged or sold prior to the lapse of the restrictions applicable thereto.
(d) Delivery of Shares Upon Vesting. Upon expiration or earlier termination of the forfeiture period without a forfeiture and the satisfaction of or release from any other conditions prescribed by the Committee, or at such earlier time as provided under the provisions of Section 7.03, the restrictions applicable to the Restricted Shares shall lapse. As promptly as administratively feasible thereafter, subject to the requirements of Section 11.05, the Company shall deliver to the Participant or, in case of the Participants death, to the Participants Beneficiary, one or more share certificates for the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock, free of all such restrictions, except for any restrictions that may be imposed by law.
7.02 Terms of Restricted Shares.
(a) Forfeiture of Restricted Shares. Subject to Sections 7.02(b) and 7.04, Restricted Shares shall be forfeited and returned to the Company and all rights of the Participant with respect to such Restricted Shares shall terminate unless the Participant continues in the service of the Company or a Subsidiary until the expiration of the forfeiture period for such Restricted Shares and satisfies any and all other conditions set forth in the Award Agreement. The Committee shall determine the forfeiture period (which may, but need not, lapse in installments) and any other terms and conditions applicable with respect to any Restricted Share Award.
(b) Waiver of Forfeiture Period. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VII to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive the forfeiture period and any other conditions set forth in any Award Agreement under appropriate circumstances (including the death, Permanent Disability or Retirement of the Participant or a material change in circumstances arising after the date of an Award) and subject to such terms
B-10
and conditions (including forfeiture of a proportionate number of the Restricted Shares) as the Committee shall deem appropriate; provided, however, that, except in connection with a Change in Control, any performance conditions applicable to Awards that are intended to qualify for the performance-based compensation exception contained in Section 162(m) of the Code shall not be waived and provided further that any conditions waived in respect of Restricted Units Awards shall be done in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code.
7.03 Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Unit Awards shall be subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions contained in the Plan and the applicable Award Agreements entered into by the appropriate Participants. Until the lapse or release of all restrictions applicable to an Award of Restricted Units, no shares of Common Stock shall be issued in respect of such Awards and no Participant shall have any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Common Stock covered by such Restricted Unit Award. Upon the lapse or release of all restrictions with respect to a Restricted Unit Award or at a later date if distribution has been deferred, one or more share certificates, registered in the name of the Participant, for an appropriate number of shares, free of any restrictions set forth in the Plan and the related Award Agreement shall be delivered to the Participant. A Participants Restricted Unit Award shall not be contingent on any payment by or consideration from the Participant other than the rendering of services. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.03 to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive the forfeiture period and any other conditions set forth in any Award Agreement under appropriate circumstances (including the death, Permanent Disability or Retirement of the Participant or a material change in circumstances arising after the date of an Award) and subject to such terms and conditions (including forfeiture of a proportionate number of the Restricted Units) as the Committee shall deem appropriate provided that such waiver is done in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code.
7.04 Change in Control. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control, all restrictions applicable to Restricted Shares and Restricted Unit Awards shall terminate fully and the Participant shall immediately have the right to the delivery of share certificates. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the provisions of this Section 7.04 shall not be applicable to any Restricted Shares and Restricted Units granted to a Participant if any Change in Control results from such Participants beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the above, unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement, with respect to each Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, if a Change in Control would have occurred under the Plan pursuant to the definition in Section 2.06 except that such Change in Control does not constitute a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company under Section 409A, then each such Award shall become vested and non-forfeitable and the Award shall not become payable except in accordance with the terms of such Award or until such earlier time as the exercise and/or payment complies with Section 409A of the Code.
ARTICLE VIII
PERFORMANCE AWARDS
8.01 Performance Awards.
(a) Award Periods and Determinations of Awards. The Committee may grant Performance Awards to Participants. A Performance Award shall consist of the right to receive a payment (measured by the Fair Market Value of a specified number of shares of Common Stock, increases in such Fair Market Value during the Award Period and/or a fixed cash amount) contingent upon the extent to which certain predetermined performance targets have been met during an Award Period. Performance Awards may be made in conjunction with, or in addition to, Restricted Share Awards and Restricted Units made under Article VII. The Award Period shall be two or more fiscal or calendar years or other annual periods as determined by the Committee. The Committee, in its discretion and under such terms as it deems appropriate, may permit newly eligible Participants, such as those who are promoted or newly hired, to receive Performance Awards after an Award Period has commenced.
B-11
(b) Performance Targets. The performance targets may include such goals related to the performance of the Company and/or the performance of a Participant as may be established by the Committee in its discretion. In the case of Performance Awards intended to qualify for deductibility under the performance-based compensation exception contained in Section 162(m) of the Code, (i) the targets will consist of specified levels of one or more of the Performance Goals and (ii) in conjunction with the establishment of performance targets for the Award Period, the Committee shall adopt an objective formula (on the basis of percentages of Participants salaries, shares in a bonus pool or otherwise) for computing the respective amounts payable to Participants if and to the extent that the performance targets are attained (and, to the extent based on percentages of a bonus pool, such percentages shall not exceed 100% in the aggregate). The performance targets established by the Committee may vary for different Award Periods and need not be the same for each Participant receiving a Performance Award in an Award Period. Notwithstanding the attainment by the Company of the specified performance targets, the Committee shall have the discretion, which need not be exercised uniformly among the Participants, to reduce or eliminate the Performance Award that would be otherwise payable on the achievement of the performance targets.
(c) Earning Performance Awards. The Committee, on or as soon as practicable after the Date of Grant, shall prescribe a formula to determine the percentage of the applicable Performance Award to be earned based upon the degree of attainment of performance targets.
(d) Payment of Earned Performance Awards. Payments of earned Performance Awards shall be made in cash or shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock in the discretion of the Committee, upon prior written certification by the Committee of attainment of the specified performance targets and shall in no event be payable after March 15th of the year following the year in which the Performance Award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code). The Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide such terms and conditions with respect to the payment of earned Performance Awards as it may deem desirable, provided that the terms and conditions with respect to the payment of Performance Awards shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 409A of the Code.
8.02 Terms of Performance Awards.
(a) Termination of Employment. Unless otherwise provided below or in Section 8.03, in the case of a Participants Termination of Employment prior to the end of an Award Period, the Participant will not have earned any Performance Awards for that Award Period.
(b) Retirement. If a Participants Termination of Employment is because of Retirement prior to the end of an Award Period, the Participant will not be paid any Performance Award, unless the Committee, in its sole and exclusive discretion, determines that an Award should be paid. In such a case, the Participant shall be entitled to receive a pro-rata portion of his or her Award as determined under subsection (d), provided, however, that, except in the event of a Change in Control, any Performance Award intended to qualify for the performance-based compensation exception contained in Section 162(m) of the Code shall not be paid unless the performance goals are satisfied and provided further that any payment of Performance Awards shall be done in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code.
(c) Death or Permanent Disability. If a Participants Termination of Employment is due to death or to Permanent Disability (as determined in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Committee) prior to the end of an Award Period, the Participant or the Participants personal representative shall be entitled to receive a pro-rata share of his or her Award as determined under subsection (d).
(d) Pro-Rata Payment. The amount of any payment to be made to a Participant whose employment is terminated by Retirement, death or Permanent Disability (under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c)) will be the amount determined by multiplying (i) the amount of the Performance Award that would have been earned through the end of the Award Period had such employment not been terminated by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole months such Participant was employed during the Award
B-12
Period, and the denominator of which is the total number of months of the Award Period. Any such payment made to a Participant whose employment is terminated prior to the end of an Award Period shall be made at the same time made to active Participants, unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion (which such discretion shall be applied in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code). To the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code, any partial payment previously made or credited to a deferred account for the benefit of a Participant in accordance with Section 8.01(d) of the Plan shall be subtracted from the amount otherwise determined as payable as provided in this Section 8.02(d) .
(e) Other Events. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VIII, the Committee may, in its sole and exclusive discretion, determine to pay all or any portion of a Performance Award to a Participant who has terminated employment prior to the end of an Award Period under other circumstances, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem appropriate; provided, however, that, except in the event of a Change in Control, any Performance Award intended to qualify for the performance-based compensation exception contained in Section 162(m) of the Code shall not be paid unless the performance goals are satisfied and provided further that any payment of Performance Awards shall be done in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code.
8.03 Change in Control. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control, all Performance Awards for all Award Periods shall immediately become fully payable (at the target level) to all Participants and shall be paid to Participants within thirty (30) days after such Change in Control. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the provisions of this Section 8.03 shall not be applicable to any Performance Awards granted to a Participant if any Change in Control results from such Participants beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the above, unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement, with respect to each Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, if a Change in Control would have occurred under the Plan pursuant to the definition in Section 2.06 except that such Change in Control does not constitute a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company under Section 409A, then each such Award shall become vested and non-forfeitable; provided, however, that the Award shall not become payable except in accordance with the terms of such Award or until such earlier time as the payment complies with Section 409A of the Code.
ARTICLE IX
OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS
9.01 Grant of Other Stock-Based Awards. Other stock-based awards, consisting of stock purchase rights (with or without loans to Participants by the Company containing such terms as the Committee shall determine), Awards of Common Stock, or Awards valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, Common Stock, may be granted either alone or in addition to or in conjunction with other Awards under the Plan. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have sole and complete authority to determine the persons to whom and the time or times at which such Awards shall be made, the number of shares of Common Stock to be granted pursuant to such Awards, and all other conditions of the Awards. Any such Award shall be confirmed by an Award Agreement executed by the Company and the Participant, which Award Agreement shall contain such provisions as the Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent of this Plan with respect to such Award.
9.02 Terms of Other Stock-Based Awards. In addition to the terms and conditions specified in the Award Agreement, Awards made pursuant to this Article IX shall be subject to the following:
(a) Non-Transferability. Any Common Stock subject to Awards made under this Article IX may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered prior to the date on which the shares are issued, or, if later, the date on which any applicable restriction, performance or deferral period lapses; and
B-13
(b) Interest and Dividends. If specified by the Committee in the Award Agreement, the recipient of an Award under this Article IX shall be entitled to receive, currently or on a deferred basis, interest or dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to the Common Stock or other securities covered by the Award; and
(c) Termination of Service. The Award Agreement with respect to any Award shall contain provisions dealing with the disposition of such Award in the event of a termination of service prior to the exercise, realization or payment of such Award, whether such termination occurs because of Retirement, Permanent Disability, death or other reason, with such provisions to take account of the specific nature and purpose of the Award.
(d) Performance-Based Awards. With respect to Awards under this Article IX intended to qualify for deductibility under the performance-based compensation exception contained in Section 162(m) of the Code, performance targets will consist of specified levels of one or more of the Performance Goals.
9.03 Change in Control. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control, all other stock-based Awards under this Article IX shall immediately become fully vested and payable to all Participants and shall be paid to Participants within thirty (30) days after such Change in Control. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the provisions of this Section 9.03 shall not be applicable to any Awards granted to a Participant if any Change in Control results from such Participants beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the above, unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement, with respect to each Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, if a Change in Control would have occurred under the Plan pursuant to the definition in Section 2.06 except that such Change in Control does not constitute a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company under Section 409A, then each such Award shall become vested and non-forfeitable; provided, however, the Award shall not become payable except in accordance with the terms of such Award or until such earlier time as the exercise and/or payment complies with Section 409A of the Code.
ARTICLE X
SHORT-TERM CASH INCENTIVE AWARDS
10.01 Eligibility. This Article X is a limited purpose provision that shall apply only in the event the Committee deems it appropriate that the Companys short-term cash incentives for executive officers of the Company who are from time to time determined by the Committee to be covered employees for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code qualify for deductibility under the performance-based compensation exception contained in Section 162(m). The maximum value of such short-term cash incentive for any covered employee shall not exceed $5 million for any fiscal year.
10.02 Awards.
(a) Performance Targets. For each fiscal year of the Company with respect to which the Committee determines this Article X to be in effect, the Committee shall establish objective performance targets based on specified levels of one or more of the Performance Goals. Such performance targets shall be established by the Committee on a timely basis to ensure that the targets are considered pre-established for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code.
(b) Amounts of Awards. In conjunction with the establishment of performance targets for a fiscal year, the Committee shall adopt an objective formula (on the basis of percentages of Participants salaries, shares in a bonus pool or otherwise) for computing the respective amounts payable under the Plan to Participants if and to the extent that the performance targets are attained. Such formula shall comply with the requirements applicable to performance-based compensation plans under Section 162(m) of the Code and, to the extent based on percentages of a bonus pool, such percentages shall not exceed 100% in the aggregate.
B-14
(c) Payment of Awards. Awards will be payable to Participants in cash each year upon prior written certification by the Committee of attainment of the specified performance targets for the preceding fiscal year and shall in no event be payable after March 15th of the year following the year in which the award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code).
(d) Negative Discretion. Notwithstanding the attainment by the Company of the specified performance targets, the Committee shall have the discretion, which need not be exercised uniformly among the Participants, to reduce or eliminate the award that would be otherwise paid.
(e) Guidelines. The Committee may adopt from time to time written policies for its implementation of this Article X. Such guidelines shall reflect the intention of the Company that all payments hereunder qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.
10.03 Non-Exclusive Arrangement. The adoption and operation of this Article X shall not preclude the Board or the Committee from approving other short-term incentive compensation arrangements for the benefit of individuals who are Participants hereunder as the Board or Committee, as the case may be, deems appropriate and in the best interests of the Company.
ARTICLE XI
TERMS APPLICABLE TO ALL AWARDS GRANTED UNDER THE PLAN
11.01 Plan Provisions Control Award Terms; Successors. The terms of the Plan shall govern all Awards granted under the Plan, and in no event shall the Committee have the power to grant any Award under the Plan the terms of which are contrary to any of the provisions of the Plan. In the event any provision of any Award granted under the Plan shall conflict with any term in the Plan as constituted on the Date of Grant of such Award, the term in the Plan as constituted on the Date of Grant of such Award shall control. All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.
11.02 Award Agreement. No person shall have any rights under any Award granted under the Plan unless and until the Company and the Participant to whom such Award shall have been granted shall have executed and delivered an Award Agreement or the Participant shall have received and acknowledged notice of the Award authorized by the Committee expressly granting the Award to such person and containing provisions setting forth the terms of the Award.
11.03 Modification of Award After Grant. No Award granted under the Plan to a Participant may be modified (unless such modification does not materially decrease the value of that Award) after its Date of Grant except by express written agreement between the Company and such Participant, provided that any such change (a) may not be inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, (b) shall be approved by the Committee, and (c) shall be done in a manner that does not result in the acceleration of income or the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code.
11.04 Limitation on Transfer. Except as provided in Section 7.01(c) in the case of Restricted Shares, a Participants rights and interest under the Plan may not be assigned or transferred other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and, during the lifetime of a Participant, only the Participant personally (or the Participants personal representative) may exercise rights under the Plan. The Participants Beneficiary may exercise the Participants rights to the extent they are exercisable under the Plan following the death of the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may grant Non-Qualified Stock Options that are transferable, without payment of consideration, to immediate family members of the Participant, to trusts or partnerships for such family members, or to such other parties as the Committee may approve (as evidenced by the applicable Award Agreement or an amendment thereto), and the Committee may also amend outstanding Non-Qualified Stock Options to provide for such transferability.
B-15
11.05 Withholding Taxes. The Company shall be entitled, if the Committee deems it necessary or desirable, to withhold (or secure payment from the Participant in lieu of withholding) the minimum amount of any withholding or other tax required by law to be withheld or paid by the Company with respect to any amount payable and/or shares issuable under such Participants Award or with respect to any income recognized upon a disqualifying disposition of shares received pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option, and the Company may defer payment of cash or issuance of shares upon exercise or vesting of an Award unless indemnified to its satisfaction against any liability for any such tax. With the approval of the Committee, the Participant may elect to meet his or her withholding requirement (i) by having withheld from such Award at the appropriate time that number of shares of Common Stock, rounded up to the next whole share, the Fair Market Value of which is equal to the amount of withholding taxes due (the amount of withholding that may be satisfied in this manner may be limited by the Committee, in its discretion, in order to avoid adverse financial accounting consequences to the Company), (ii) by direct payment to the Company in cash of the minimum amount of any taxes required to be withheld with respect to such Award or (iii) by a combination of withholding such shares and paying cash.
11.06 Surrender of Awards. Any award granted under the Plan may be surrendered to the Company for cancellation on such terms as the Committee and the Participant approve.
11.07 Cancellation of Awards. Unless the Award Agreement specifies otherwise, the Committee may cancel, rescind, suspend, withhold or otherwise limit or restrict any unexpired, unpaid, or deferred Awards at any time if the Participant is not in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Award Agreement and the Plan, or if the Participant engages in any Detrimental Activity. For purposes of this Section 11.07, Detrimental Activity shall include: (i) the rendering of services for any organization or engaging directly or indirectly in any business which is or becomes competitive with the Company, or which organization or business, or the rendering of services to such organization or business, is or becomes otherwise prejudicial to or in conflict with the interests of the Company; (ii) the disclosure to anyone outside the Company, or the use in other than the Companys business, without prior written authorization from the Company, of any confidential information or material relating to the business of the Company, acquired by the Participant either during or after employment with the Company; (iii) any attempt directly or indirectly to induce any employee of the Company to be employed or perform services elsewhere or any attempt directly or indirectly to solicit the trade or business of any current or prospective customer, supplier or partner of the Company; or (iv) any other conduct or act determined to be injurious, detrimental or prejudicial to any interest of the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan or in any Award Agreement to the contrary, this Section 11.07 shall be of no force and effect on or following the occurrence of a Change in Control.
11.08 Adjustments to Reflect Capital Changes.
(a) Recapitalization. The number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards, the Exercise Price for such shares, the number and kind of shares available for Awards subsequently granted under the Plan, the maximum number of shares in respect of which Awards can be made to any Participant in any calendar year and the Performance Goals and Award Periods applicable to outstanding Awards shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any extraordinary dividend, stock dividend, stock split, or share combination or any recapitalization, merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, liquidation or dissolution of the Company or other change in capitalization with a similar substantive effect upon the Plan or the Awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall have the power and sole discretion to determine the amount of the adjustment to be made in each case.
(b) Options to Purchase Shares or Stock of Acquired Companies. After any Change in Control, or any other merger, reorganization, consolidation, share sale or exchange, transfer of assets or other transaction having similar effect involving the Company, in which the Company or a Subsidiary shall be a surviving corporation, the Committee may grant Options or other Awards under the provisions of the Plan, pursuant to Section 424 of the Code or as is otherwise permitted under the Code, in full or partial replacement of or substitution for old stock options granted under a plan of another party to the merger whose shares of stock subject to the old options may
B-16
no longer be issued following the Change in Control or other such transaction. The manner of application of the foregoing provisions to such options and any appropriate adjustments in the terms of such stock options shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Any such adjustments may provide for the elimination of any fractional shares which might otherwise become subject to any Options. The foregoing shall not be deemed to preclude the Company from assuming or substituting for stock options of acquired companies other than pursuant to this Plan.
11.09 Legal Compliance. Shares of Common Stock shall not be issued hereunder unless the issuance and delivery of such shares shall comply with applicable laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.
11.10 No Right to Employment. No Participant or other person shall have any claim of right to be granted an Award under the Plan. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any Participant any right to be retained in the service of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 11.11 Awards Not Includable for Benefit Purposes. Payments received by a Participant pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall not be included in the determination of benefits under any pension, group insurance or other benefit plan applicable to the Participant which is maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except as may be provided under the terms of such plans or determined by the Board.
11.12 Governing Law. All determinations made and actions taken pursuant to the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, other than the conflict of laws provisions thereof, and construed in accordance therewith.
11.13 No Strict Construction. No rule of strict construction shall be implied against the Company, the Committee or any other person in the interpretation of any of the terms of the Plan, any Award granted under the Plan or any rule or procedure established by the Committee.
11.14 Captions. The captions (i.e., all Section headings) used in the Plan are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of the Plan, and shall not be deemed to limit, characterize or affect in any way any provisions of the Plan, and all provisions of the Plan shall be construed as if no captions had been used in the Plan.
11.15 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision in the Plan and every Award at any time granted under the Plan shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of the Plan or any Award at any time granted under the Plan shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, then (a) such provision shall be deemed amended to accomplish the objectives of the provision as originally written to the fullest extent permitted by law and (b) all other provisions of the Plan, such Award and every other Award at any time granted under the Plan shall remain in full force and effect.
11.16 Amendment and Termination.
(a) Amendment. The Board shall have complete power and authority to amend the Plan at any time; provided, that no termination or amendment of the Plan may, without the consent of the Participant to whom any Award shall theretofore have been granted under the Plan, materially adversely affect the right of such individual under such Award; and provided further, that, except as provided under Section 11.08 of the Plan, no such alteration or amendment of the Plan shall, without approval by the stockholders of the Company (i) increase the total number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued or delivered under the Plan, (ii) increase the total number of shares which may be covered by Awards to any one Participant or (iii) reduce the Exercise Price of an outstanding Option or of an outstanding Stock Appreciation Right, (iv) cancel an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for other Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with an Exercise Price that is less than the Exercise Price of the cancelled Option or the cancelled Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, or (v) cancel an outstanding Option or an outstanding Stock Appreciation Right with an Exercise Price that is less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of cancellation in exchange for cash or another Award.
B-17
(b) Termination. The Board shall have the right and the power to terminate the Plan at any time. No Award shall be granted under the Plan after the termination of the Plan, but the termination of the Plan shall not have any other effect and any Award outstanding at the time of the termination of the Plan may be exercised after termination of the Plan at any time prior to the expiration date of such Award to the same extent such Award would have been exercisable had the Plan not been terminated.
11.17 Employees Based Outside of the United States. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in order to comply with the laws in other countries in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate or have employees or directors, the Board, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to:
(a) Determine which Subsidiaries shall be covered by the Plan;
(b) Determine which employees or directors outside the United States are eligible to participate in the Plan;
(c) Modify the terms and conditions of any Award granted to employees or directors outside the United States to comply with applicable foreign laws;
(d) Establish sub-plans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable. Any sub-plans and modifications to Plan terms and procedures established under this Section 11.17 by the Board shall be attached to this Plan document as appendices; and
(e) Take any action, before or after an Award is made, that it deems advisable to obtain approval or comply with any necessary local government regulatory exemptions or approvals. Notwithstanding the above, the Board may not take any actions hereunder, and no Awards shall be granted, that would violate the Exchange Act, the Code, any securities law, or governing statute or any other applicable law.
