Appointment of Keith Katkin as Director
On March 17, 2022, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Emergent BioSolutions Inc. (the "Company") appointed Keith Katkin as a Class I director of the Company, effective as of April 1, 2022 (the "Effective Date"), with an initial term expiring at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders.
He was also appointed as a member of both the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Strategic Operations Committee of the Board, as of the Effective Date. Mr. Katkin was not selected pursuant to any arrangement or understanding with any other person. There are no transactions in which the Company is a party in which Mr. Katkin has a material interest subject to disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
In connection with his appointment to the Board, and pursuant to the Emergent BioSolutions Inc. Stock Incentive Plan, the Company will grant Mr. Katkin an initial election equity award of $375,000, to be issued on the Effective Date or shortly thereafter, in restricted stock units, which award shall vest one-third per year over three years on the date which is one day prior to the anniversary of the date of grant, subject to Mr. Katkin's continued service as a director. As a non-employee director, Mr. Katkin will receive additional compensation in accordance with the Company's non-employee director compensation practices, which are summarized under the heading "Director Compensation" in the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 9, 2021 and subject to proration in his first year of service.

Accordingly, on March 17, 2022, the Company and Mr. El-Hibri entered into a Consulting Agreement under which, the Company has agreed to engage Mr. El-Hibri as a consultant effective as of April 1, 2022 (the "Consulting Agreement Date"), subject to, among other things, Mr. El-Hibri's compliance with continuing non-solicitation, non-competition, confidentiality and invention assignment obligations applicable to Mr. El-Hibri under his arrangements with the Company.

The level of service provided is anticipated to be no more than 20 hours per month. In consideration of these services, Mr. El-Hibri will receive a monthly cash fee of $20,000 (pro-rated for partial months). If Mr. El-Hibri's services performed at the Company's request exceed 20 hours per month, the Board may, in its sole discretion, elect to provide Mr. El-Hibri with additional fees or other compensation on such terms and with such conditions as the Board will determine. Furthermore, a mutually agreeable reasonable hourly fee shall be paid to Mr. El-Hibri for any time he spends (other than time spent providing testimony in any proceeding) following the term of the Consulting Agreement in connection with his obligation under the Consulting Agreement to cooperate fully with the Company for the term of the Consulting Agreement and thereafter in regard to certain investigations or proceedings. In addition, during the term of the Consulting Agreement, any outstanding and unvested equity awards granted by the Company to Mr. El-Hibri will continue to vest and be exercisable in accordance with the applicable equity plans and award agreements.
