Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On November 7, 2011, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Emergent BioSolutions Inc. (the "Company") adopted a severance plan (the "Severance Plan") for the benefit of employees with the title of chief executive officer, president, executive vice president, senior vice president or vice president who has been designated to participate in the Severance Plan by the Board or, with the authorization of the Board, by the chief executive officer. For those executives electing to participate in the Severance Plan, such executives would no longer be eligible for benefits under the Company's Severance Plan and Termination Protection Program adopted by the Board in May 2006.
Under the Severance Plan, the chief executive officer is authorized to designate the greater of 7% of the total number of employees or 35 employees to be participants in the Severance Plan at any particular time, on the basis of name, title, function or compensation level. The chief executive officer will at all times be a participant under the Severance Plan and shall have no less favorable rights under the Severance Plan than any other participant.
The effective date of the Severance Plan is November 7, 2011, and continues in effect through December 31, 2015. Commencing on December 31, 2015, and on December 31 of each year thereafter, the Severance Plan will be automatically extended for additional one-year periods unless the Company provides 90 days' prior written notice to the participating employees that the term will not be extended.
If during the term of the Severance Plan the Company terminates a participant's employment without cause, as defined in the Severance Plan, then the participant will be entitled to:
•
any unpaid base salary and accrued paid time-off through the date of termination;
•
a pro rata portion of the participant's target annual bonus in respect of the year of termination;
•
any bonus earned but unpaid as of the date of termination for any previously completed year;
•
reimbursement for any unreimbursed expenses incurred by the participant prior to the date of termination;
•
an amount equal to a specified percentage of the sum of the participant's base salary and target bonus, as indicated in the table below;
•
employee and fringe benefits and perquisites, if any, to which the participant may be entitled as of the date of termination under the Company's relevant plans, policies and programs; and
•
continued eligibility for the participant and his or her eligible dependents to receive certain employee benefits  for a stated period following the participant's date of termination as indicated in the table below, except when the provision of employee benefits would result in a duplication of benefits provided by any subsequent employer.
The following table sets forth the percentage of base salary and the stated period for continued employee benefits to which each the participants is entitled if the Company terminates the participant's employment without cause.

Except with respect to any unpaid base salary, accrued paid time off and unreimbursed expenses, which shall be paid in a single lump sum within 30 days following termination, the Company will pay the amounts under the Severance Plan in equal monthly installments over the same stated period during which the Company agreed to provide continued employee benefits to the terminated employee.
If during the term of the Severance Plan, a participant's employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without cause or a participant resigns for good reason, as defined in the Severance Plan, in each case within 18 months following a change of control, as defined in the Severance Plan, then the participant will be entitled to:
•
a lump sum amount, payable within 30 days following the date of termination, equal to the sum of:
•
any unpaid base salary and accrued paid time-off through the date of termination,
•
a pro rata portion of the participant's target annual bonus in respect of the year of termination,
•
any bonus earned but unpaid as of the date of termination for any previously completed year,
•
any unreimbursed expenses incurred by the participant prior to the date of termination, and
•
an amount equal to a specified percentage of the sum of the participant's base salary and the greater of the annual bonus that was paid to the participant in respect of the most recently completed year or the maximum annual bonus that could have been paid to the participant under an established bonus plan, if any, for the most recently completed year, as indicated in the table below;
•
employee and fringe benefits and perquisites, if any, to which the participant may be entitled as of the date of termination of employment under our relevant plans, policies and programs;
•
any unvested stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-unit awards (collectively "Equity Awards") held by the participant that are outstanding on the date of termination will become fully vested as of that date, and the period, during which any Equity Award held by the participant that are outstanding on that date may be exercised, shall be extended to a date that is the later of the 15th day of the third month following the termination date, or December 31 of the calendar year in which the Equity Award would otherwise have expired if the exercise period had not been extended, but not beyond the final date the Equity Award could have been exercised if the participant's employment had not terminated, in each case based on the term of the option at the original grant date;
•
continued eligibility for the participant and his or her eligible dependents to receive certain employee benefits  for a stated period following the participant's date of termination as indicated in the table below, except when the provision of employee benefits would result in a duplication of benefits provided by any subsequent employer;
•
the retention for the maximum period permitted by applicable law of all rights the participant has to indemnification from us immediately prior to the change of control and the continuation throughout the period of any applicable statute of limitations of any director's and officers liability insurance covering the participant immediately prior to the change of control; and
•
the advancement to the participant of all costs and expenses, including attorney's fees and disbursements, incurred by the participant in connection with any legal proceedings that relate to the termination of employment or the interpretation or enforcement of any provision of the Severance Plan, for which the participant will have no obligation to reimburse the Company if the participant prevails in the proceeding with respect to at least one material issue or the proceeding is settled.
If during the term of the Severance Plan, a participant's employment is terminated by the Company prior to a change of control, which subsequently occurs, at the request of a party involved in the change of control, or otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a change of control, then the participant will be entitled to the same benefits and rights provided above, except that such benefits and rights shall be paid or distributed in the same manner (in installments, where applicable) as if the Company terminated a participant's employment without cause.
The following table sets forth the percentage of base salary and bonus and the stated period for continued employee benefits to which each of the participants is entitled under the circumstances described above in connection with a change of control.

As a condition to payment of any amounts under the Severance Plan, the participant is required:
•
For the same stated period during which we have agreed to provide continued employee benefits to the terminated employee, not to:
•
induce, counsel, advise, solicit or encourage our employees to leave the employ of the Company or to accept employment with any other person or entity,
•
