Embecta Corp. is calling a virtual 2026 Annual Meeting on February 11, 2026, for stockholders of record as of December 15, 2025. Stockholders are being asked to elect seven directors for one-year terms, ratify Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditors for fiscal 2026, approve an advisory “say-on-pay” vote on named executive officer compensation, and approve an amendment to the 2022 Employee and Director Equity-Based Compensation Plan that would add 2,430,000 shares of common stock for future equity awards.
The Board highlights that 6 of 7 director nominees are independent and 71% are ethnically and/or gender diverse, and it uses majority voting, annual elections, proxy access and share ownership guidelines. Embecta emphasizes a pay-for-performance compensation philosophy, with a significant portion of executive and director pay delivered in equity.

What We Do | What We Don’t Do | |||||||
Competitive Compensation Program | Significant portion of target annual compensation is delivered in the form of variable compensation tied to performance. Reinforce and reward behaviors that support our business objectives. Use of an independent compensation consultant reporting directly to the Compensation Committee. | No individual employment agreements with our executive officers. | ||||||
Pay for Performance | Align executive compensation with the execution of our business strategy and the creation of long-term stockholder value. | While we emphasize “at risk” pay tied to performance, our program does not encourage excessive risk-taking by management. No guaranteed incentive awards for executive officers. | ||||||
Strong Compensation Policies | Robust share retention and ownership guidelines. “Double-trigger” change in control agreements. Our unvested equity compensation awards also have a double-trigger accelerated vesting provisions. Clawback policy that provides for recoupment of compensation in connection with restatements of financial results, regardless of individual misconduct, in compliance with Nasdaq Global Select Market’s (“Nasdaq”) listing rules. Annual say-on-pay vote. | No discounting, reloading or repricing of equity awards without stockholder approval. Prohibition on executives pledging Embecta shares or hedging against the economic risk of ownership. No excise tax “gross-ups” in our change in control and severance policy.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
1 Review of the Composition of the Board | The Governance Committee reviews potential director candidates and recommends nominees for director to the full Board for its consideration based on the Governance Committee’s assessment of the overall composition of the Board. | ||
2 Consideration of Referrals from Various Sources | It is the Governance Committee’s policy to consider referrals of prospective director nominees from other Board members and management, as well as stockholders and other external sources, such as retained executive search firms. The Governance Committee seeks to identify a broad range of qualified candidates and utilizes the same criteria for evaluating candidates, irrespective of their source. | ||
3 Consideration of Director Qualifications | The Governance Committee will seek and actively consider as director candidates individuals who reflect a broad range of backgrounds, perspectives and qualities that, when combined with those of other directors, will provide a blend of skills and experience that will enhance the Board’s effectiveness and further Embecta’s strategic interests. The Governance Committee believes that any nominee for director that it recommends must meet the following minimum qualifications: • Candidates should be persons of high integrity who possess independence, forthrightness, inquisitiveness, good judgment and strong analytical skills. • Candidates should demonstrate a commitment to devote the time required for Board duties, including, but not limited to, attendance at meetings. • Candidates should be team-oriented and committed to the interests of all stockholders as opposed to those of any particular constituency. | ||
4 Assessment and Nomination of Candidates | The Governance Committee assesses the characteristics and performance of incumbent director nominees against the above criteria as well, and, to the extent applicable, considers the impact of any change in the principal occupations of such directors during the last year. Upon completion of its assessment, the Governance Committee reports its recommendations for nominations to the full Board. | ||

The Committees are responsible for monitoring and reporting to the full Board on risks associated with their respective areas of oversight. In connection with its oversight responsibilities, each Committee often meets with the members of management who are primarily responsible for the management of risk in their respective areas, including, among others, Embecta’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), Chief Human Resources Officer, General Counsel, Chief Information Officer, Internal Audit and compliance officers. | ||||
Audit Committee | Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee | |||
• Oversees Embecta’s enterprise risk management (“ERM”) activities. • Oversees Embecta’s accounting and financial reporting processes and the integrity of Embecta’s financial statements, cybersecurity and data privacy risk exposure, Embecta’s ethics and compliance program (including the Ethics Helpline) and its insurance coverages. | • Oversees risks relating to Embecta’s corporate governance practices, including director independence and compensation, related person transactions and conflicts of interest, and crisis management, as well as the process and practices relating to the management and oversight of ESG matters. | |||
Compensation and Management Development Committee | Technology, Quality and Regulatory Committee | |||
• Oversees risks associated with Embecta’s compensation practices and programs and human capital management. | • Oversees risks associated with product development, safety and innovation, research and development activities, quality systems, and regulatory compliance matters. | |||
MANAGEMENT | ||||
Embecta’s management engages in an ERM process to identify, assess, manage and mitigate a broad range of risks across Embecta’s businesses, regions and functions, and to ensure alignment of our risk assessment and mitigation efforts with Embecta’s corporate strategy. Senior management reviews the results of its ERM activities with the Audit Committee at least once a year, including the process used within the organization to identify risks, management’s assessment of the significant categories of risk faced by Embecta (including any changes in such assessment since the last review), and management’s plans to mitigate potential exposures. The significant risks identified through Embecta’s ERM activities and the related mitigation plans are also reviewed with the full Board at least once a year. In addition, certain risks (such as cybersecurity) are frequently reviewed in depth with both the Audit Committee and/or the full Board. | ||||

The Governance Committee reviews the compensation of Embecta’s non-management directors and makes recommendations to the Board. The Governance Committee may not delegate these responsibilities to another Committee or members of management. For fiscal year 2025, the Governance Committee retained Korn Ferry as an independent consultant to assist in making these recommendations. Korn Ferry’s responsibilities include providing market comparison data on director compensation at peer companies, tracking trends in director compensation practices, and advising the Governance Committee regarding the components and levels of director compensation. The Governance Committee has not identified any conflict of interest on the part of Korn Ferry or any other factor that would impair Korn Ferry’s independence. Embecta management does not play any role in either recommending or determining non-management director compensation. | |||||

TABLE OF CONTENTS
• | We link pay and performance by delivering 50% or more of executive total compensation opportunity through variable, at-risk incentives designed to incentivize increasing long-term stockholder value through the achievement of predetermined company performance goals. |
• | Our compensation program incorporates a short-term incentive plan that holds management accountable for the achievement of financial metrics and strategic objectives, as well as a long-term incentive framework that is heavily weighted on company performance. |
• | Total compensation opportunity is generally targeted around the median compensation at peer companies, with flexibility to determine individual compensation based on an executive’s scope, experience, criticality of role, performance and internal equity. Our executives have deep expertise that is highly valued by the market and important to our success and their retention through competitive positioning is a key priority. |
• | We establish and maintain a well-governed compensation program that creates long-term stockholder value by rewarding our executives when stockholder value is created while also mitigating excessive risk-taking and behavior that is inconsistent with our strategic plans and Embecta’s mission, vision and values. |
• | assisted the Compensation Committee in the design and implementation of our executive compensation program, including the selection of the key elements of the program, setting of targeted payments for each element, and establishment of performance targets; |
• | made recommendations regarding the compensation of our CEO and other NEOs and the compensation of our directors; |
• | conducted an annual review of the composition of the peer group; |

TABLE OF CONTENTS
• | Balanced mix of pay components and incentives. We target a balanced mix of cash and equity compensation, and of annual and long-term incentives. The key elements of our program are salary, annual cash incentives under the annual bonus plan and long-term equity compensation. |
• | Significant performance-based compensation tied to business strategy. We emphasize pay-for-performance to align executive compensation with the execution of our business strategy and the creation of long-term stockholder value. We use performance metrics that are aligned with and support Embecta’s business strategy. |
• | Meaningful performance-based compensation to mitigate excessive risk-taking. While we emphasize “at risk” pay tied to performance, we believe our program does not encourage excessive risk-taking by management. |
• | Share retention guidelines and policy against pledging/hedging. Our executives are subject to robust share retention and ownership guidelines and are prohibited from pledging or short selling Embecta shares or hedging against the economic risk of their ownership. |
• | Limited perquisites. We do not offer special perquisites that are not available to other officers of Embecta or other personal benefits to our NEOs. |
• | Clawback policies. We have a compensation recovery policy that gives the Board the authority to recover incentive compensation paid to senior management in the event of a restatement of our financial statements resulting from that person’s misconduct and to recover equity compensation awarded to a member of management if such executive breaches certain restrictive covenants. In compliance with Nasdaq’s rules, we also have a compensation recovery policy that gives the Board the authority to recover incentive compensation paid to current or former senior management in the event of a restatement of our financial statement, regardless of individual misconduct. |
• | Change in control arrangements. We have “double-trigger” change in control agreements with our NEOs to provide continuity of management in the event of an actual or potential change in control. Our change in control agreements do not contain any excise tax “gross-up” provisions. |
• | Use of independent compensation consultant. The Compensation Committee uses an independent compensation consultant to assist it in designing our compensation program and making compensation decisions. |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
• | Limits on Bonus Plan awards. We do not overweigh short-term incentives as a proportion of total pay. Under the Embecta Annual Incentive Plan (the “Bonus Plan”), awards are generally capped at 200% of an executive’s target award to protect against disproportionately large short-term incentives. The Compensation Committee has the discretion to determine and adjust award amounts based on any factors it deems appropriate, including whether management has taken unnecessary or excessive risk. For fiscal year 2025, the Compensation Committee also had discretion under the temporary FY25 Focus Plan (as defined below) to apply a modifier that could result in Bonus Plan awards capped at 240% of an executive's target award and the Compensation Committee exercised discretion to eliminate the impact of the FY25 Focus Plan and not to apply the upward adjustment modifier to any Bonus Plan awards to all executives. |
• | Use of long-term equity compensation. The largest portion of the total compensation opportunity for our NEOs is delivered in long-term equity compensation that generally vests over a period of three years, which encourages our executives to focus on sustaining Embecta’s long-term performance. |
• | Balanced set of performance metrics. We use a balanced set of performance metrics in our executive compensation program design. These performance-based compensation metrics align with the execution of our business strategy. |
• | Share retention and ownership guidelines. Our share retention and ownership guidelines ensure that our executives have a significant amount of their personal assets tied to the long-term success of Embecta. We have a policy prohibiting the pledging or short selling of Embecta shares or hedging against the economic risk of their ownership. |

Adjusted EBITDA $* | This measure is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) excluding certain items that affect comparability of operating results and the trend of earnings. These adjustments are either non-cash or irregular in nature, may not be indicative of our past and future performance and are therefore excluded to allow investors to better understand underlying operating trends. The following are examples of the types of adjustments that are excluded: share-based compensation, impairment losses, costs associated with the Separation and other significant items management deems irregular or non-operating in nature. This measure excludes the impact of fluctuations in FX rates since the setting of the Bonus Plan targets. | |||||||
Net Debt * | This measure is defined as total debt (current debt obligations plus long-term debt) less cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash. | |||||||

(1) | The amounts shown represent the range of possible payouts that the NEOs could have earned under the Bonus Plan, based on certain assumptions and, for Mr. Curtis, the conversion from Euro to USD based on an exchange rate of 1.1731 as of September 30, 2025. The amount of the actual payments to the NEOs under the Bonus Plan are reflected in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table. The amount in the “Threshold” column assumes Embecta achieved the minimum threshold performance levels for each performance measure, resulting in available funding for awards at 50% of target, and that the NEO received a payment equal to 50% of the NEO’s award target. |
(2) | The amounts shown represent the range of shares that can potentially be earned under the PSU awards. The PSUs will cliff-vest three years from the date of grant, subject to the achievement of performance measures relating to Adjusted Constant Currency Revenue Growth Percentage (weighted 50%) and Adjusted Operating Income Dollars (weighted 50%). |
(3) | The amounts shown represent the number of shares subject to the TVU awards. The TVUs will vest in three equal annual installments beginning one year from the grant date, subject to continued employment through such date. |
(4) | For all awards except PSUs, the amounts shown reflect the grant date fair value of the awards under FASB ASC Topic 718 used by Embecta for financial statement reporting purposes (disregarding estimated forfeitures). For a discussion of the assumptions made to determine the grant date fair value of these awards, see Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. For the PSUs, since the service inception date precedes the grant date of the award, and the grant date fair value is not determinable at this time, the amount reported is the fair value of the PSUs at the service inception date, based upon the then-probable outcome of the performance conditions. See the “Accounting Considerations” section of this proxy statement for additional details. |

* | As explained above in footnote (5) to the PvP Table, for purposes of the Pay Versus Performance analysis we use Adjusted Constant Currency Revenue excluding the Italian payback measure (with respect to fiscal years 2024 and 2025), revenues derived from contract manufacturing and the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates by comparing results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period since October 1, 2022. Due to the Separation date of April 1, 2022, our 2022 results include pre-Separation revenues for which there was no contract manufacturing in our results to be excluded. |
