Viatris Shareholders Reject Advisory Pay Vote, Approve 49 Million Share Plan Increase

Mixed Impact 3 of 5 shareholder Written later

At its December 6, 2024 annual meeting, Viatris shareholders did not approve, on an advisory basis, the 2023 compensation of its named executive officers, with 49.23% of votes in favor. Shareholders approved an amendment adding 49,000,000 shares to the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan and elected all twelve director nominees, so the pay vote result is the main governance signal for holders.

Key points

  • Advisory vote on 2023 executive pay not approved: 445,035,979 for and 458,870,163 against, with 49.23% in favor, missing approval by less than 0.80%.
  • 2020 Stock Incentive Plan amendment approved (872,421,538 for, 31,280,303 against), adding 49,000,000 shares and eliminating an exception to the 12-month minimum vesting requirement for certain ad hoc awards.
  • All twelve director nominees elected to serve until the 2025 annual meeting; Deloitte & Touche LLP ratified as auditor for fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.
