Message from

the Chair of the Board, Melina Higgins

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to thank you for your continued investment and confidence in Viatris. It is a privilege to chair such a deeply committed Board and to work in partnership with our talented management team during this important period of transformation and growth for the Company.

2025 has been a pivotal year for Viatris, one defined by disciplined execution, meaningful progress, and a clear focus on building a stronger, more agile Company for the future. Several significant milestones were achieved, from delivering strong operational performance and returning more than $630 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends in the first half of the year, to advancing our innovative pipeline with five positive Phase 3 readouts and the first global approval for sotagliflozin. These accomplishments demonstrate the Company’s ability to execute in the near term while positioning itself for long-term, durable growth.

Together with management, the Board has also overseen the continued advancement of Viatris’ strategic priorities, including the successful launch of an enterprise-wide strategic review designed to ensure the Company’s operating model, cost structure and organization are fit for purpose for our next stage of growth.

Our progress would not be possible without the continued effort of our colleagues around the globe. We are proud that Viatris was once again named to Forbes' list of World's Best Employers 2025. This is the fifth year in a row that Viatris has received this recognition. As Board members, we have taken the opportunity to meet with cross-functional teams from across the Company during the past year and have been impressed with their dedication to our mission and efforts to foster a high-performance environment.

Strong governance and thoughtful leadership remain central to our success. I, and my fellow directors, continue to focus on ensuring that our Board has the right mix of skills, experience and perspectives to best support our Company’s future goals and our management team in achieving them. Since June 2024, we have welcomed four new directors with deep expertise in pharmaceutical leadership, finance, and innovation, while maintaining the continuity and institutional knowledge that have served the Company well. These efforts reflect our ongoing commitment to strong corporate governance and to ensuring that Viatris is guided by a Board that is independent, forward-looking and deeply engaged in guiding Viatris’ next chapter.

Management succession planning has been, and continues to be, among the Board’s top priorities. We are pleased with the continued success of our management development efforts as we have seamlessly integrated new leadership and fresh perspectives with long-standing Viatris colleagues. The partnership between the Board and management has never been stronger — anchored in a shared focus on execution, accountability and value creation. The successful completion of our management transition efforts positioned us to end the consulting arrangement with our Chairman Emeritus as of June 30, 2025, and establish what we anticipate is our long-term simplified management structure.

In closing, as the Company continues to evolve, the Board will remain steadfast in its oversight and commitment to advancing the Company’s ambitions for the future on behalf of our shareholders. We are proud of the work we have accomplished to date and we appreciate your continued investment and support.

Sincerely,

Melina Higgins

Chair of the Board

Dear Viatris Shareholders,

As I reflect on the past year, I am both proud of the significant progress we have made together and excited about the transformative path we continue to chart for our future. Viatris has been built with resilience and diversification at its core. Since our launch in 2020, we have reshaped the company through bold actions that strengthened our foundation, expanded our capabilities, and positioned us for long-term sustainable and profitable growth.

A Year of Transformation and Execution

2025 has been a pivotal year. We continued to reshape our business while delivering meaningful progress for shareholders, patients, and employees alike. Among this year’s achievements:

• Focus on Growth: We reported second quarter 2025 total revenues of $3.6 billion representing divestiture-adjusted operational revenue growth of 3%, excluding the impact of Indore¹, demonstrating renewed momentum in our base business.

• Pipeline Progress: We advanced our innovative pipeline with five positive Phase 3 data readouts, additionally enrollment for selatogrel and cenerimod remains on track. We also received the first global approval for sotagliflozin in the UAE — an important milestone in our innovative brands strategy.

• Capital Return: As of the end of the second quarter of 2025, we returned more than $630 million of capital to shareholders, including approximately $350 million in share repurchases and $280 million in dividends. We have committed to returning more than $1 billion of capital to shareholders in 2025.

• Operational Resilience: We made strong progress on the remediation efforts at our Indore facility which are nearly complete and we have asked the U.S. FDA for a meeting to discuss the progress of our remediation efforts and the potential timing for reinspection of the facility. We expect to have that meeting by the end of this year.

• Strategic Review: We launched an enterprise-wide strategic review earlier this year. Our goal is to ensure our operating model is as effective, efficient, and as future-ready as possible.

These accomplishments reinforce the disciplined execution of our strategy and our ability to invest for the future while continuing to deliver value today.

Our Strategic Path Forward

The work we have done over the past five years — strengthening our balance sheet, divesting non-core assets, and investing in innovation — has set the stage for the next natural step in our journey. Our future will be guided by four strategic pillars:

• Strengthen Our Core – Evolving our generics business by focusing on more profitable, higher-margin complex products, and building our global established brands business by adding brands that leverage our global capabilities.

• Fuel Innovation – Advancing a pipeline of best-in-class, patent-protected assets and growing our innovative brands business through strategic accretive in-market business development opportunities to accelerate growth in key areas.

• Optimize Our Global Structure – Simplifying our cost structure, improving resource allocation and achieving operational efficiency in line with the changing needs of our business so that we can ensure we’re building a company that is both competitive today and prepared for the future.

1
Second quarter 2025 total revenues were down 6% on a reported basis and down 2% on a divestiture-adjusted operational basis compared to second quarter 2024, primarily driven by the negative Indore Impact (as defined in Appendix B). The Indore Impact refers to the estimated negative financial impact on 2025 total revenues and (loss) earnings from operations versus the comparable 2024 periods as a result of the FDA issued warning letter and import alert related to our oral finished dose manufacturing facility in Indore, India. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the estimated Indore Impact to total revenues was approximately $160 million. See Appendix B - “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)” for more information.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

• Invest for Growth – Building organizational capabilities, developing talent, and investing in digital tools needed to compete and win in a rapidly changing healthcare environment.

Fundamentally, we are positioning Viatris to be more agile, more innovative, and more aligned with the opportunities of tomorrow. We look forward to sharing more information at our Investor Day in early 2026.

Vision for the Future

Looking ahead, we expect Viatris to evolve in meaningful ways. Today, approximately 59% of our portfolio is established brands, 40% is generics, and 1% is patent-protected innovative brands. In the future, that mix will be different. While we intend to sustain the strength of our core business of generics and established brands, we also intend to build a greater presence in innovative brands—patent-protected assets that will drive durable and more predictable profitable growth.

We will remain disciplined in how we allocate capital — strengthening the portfolio, returning value to shareholders, and investing in innovation. Our mission will not change: to empower people worldwide to live healthier at every stage of life.

Closing

I want to thank our more than 30,000 colleagues around the globe who have made the company what it is today. Their passion and dedication are what drive our ability to deliver for patients and shareholders every day.

I am confident that Viatris has the right foundation, the right strategy, and the right vision for the future. Together, we are building a company that is stronger, leaner, and more innovative — a company positioned for sustainable success in 2026 and beyond.

Thank you for your continued trust and investment in Viatris.

Sincerely,

Scott A. Smith

Chief Executive Officer

• Governance and Ethical Practices: managing inherent risks and encouraging opportunities and business ethics.

Viatris in 2024:

Our Commitment to Good Corporate Governance

Robust Shareholder Engagement

Our shareholder-centric model is rooted in our Board of Directors’ (“Board”) and management’s commitment to on-going, robust dialogue with shareholders to discuss and solicit shareholder feedback on key strategic, operational, financial, governance, and executive compensation topics, and to address other topics of importance to shareholders. Since October 2024, we met with 20 of our 50 largest shareholders representing approximately 50% of the outstanding shares and reached out to approximately 30 of our 50 largest shareholders representing approximately 55% of the outstanding shares (in each case based on June 30, 2025 shareholder

data). In these meetings, various members of our management and, as appropriate or where requested, our Board, met with institutional investor executives, governance and stewardship team leads, and portfolio managers. Our leadership has also met with the analyst community, participated in eight investor conferences, and held informal direct shareholder discussions since October 2024.

Shareholder Discussion Highlights

Director Refreshment: Viatris is committed to Board refreshment and strong corporate governance. In particular, the Board has appointed seven new Directors since December 2022 and elected an independent Chair in 2023. In connection with its refreshment process, the Board specifically sought individuals with C-suite level and/or pharmaceutical experience.

Strategic Priorities: On our second quarter 2025 earnings call, Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) Scott A. Smith discussed our 2025 strategic priorities, including: driving strong commercial execution across our global business of generics and established brands; advancing our late-stage pipeline to drive future innovation; continuing to look at strategic accretive in-market business development opportunities to drive near- and mid-term growth; progressing our enterprise-wide strategic review to position Viatris for sustainable growth in 2026 and beyond; the remediation and reinspection progress for our Indore facility; and returning capital to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks.

Annual Meeting Timing: After discussions with investors and to in order to move to a more standard annual meeting cadence and drive further efficiency, the Board has announced that the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders will be held on May 15, 2026.

Executive Compensation: We were disappointed by our Say-on-Pay vote in 2024. Based on our robust shareholder engagement in connection with, and following, the 2024 Say-on-Pay vote, we believe that our Say-on-Pay results in 2024 were driven primarily by concerns relating to the transitional consulting arrangement that we entered into with our former Executive Chairman. Shareholders did not express concerns with any other aspect of our compensation program in our meetings. Based on both the Board’s belief that the transitional matters covered by the consulting arrangement have been successfully completed and/or transitioned and this shareholder feedback, the Board determined that the consulting arrangement would not be renewed and then subsequently ended the consulting arrangement as of June 30, 2025. As a result, Mr. Coury is no longer serving as a consultant to the Company, and we believe that we have completed the transition to a simplified leadership and compensation structure.

In addition, we took several further actions that we believe address the 2024 Say-on-Pay vote and align our program with shareholder outcomes. The table below details the additional actions we took.

	Reduced the 2024 Annual Incentive Payout			•  The Compensation Committee exercised negative discretion to reduce the 2024 annual incentive payout. This negative discretion was exercised due to the unique timing of the import alert related to the Indore, India facility, and the resulting impact on the Company's financials and share price. 2024 performance outcomes for Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Global Regulatory Submissions would have resulted in a 163.92% bonus funding under the provisions of the short-term incentive plan. The Compensation Committee reduced funding to 140%.
	Increased Difficulty of 2025 Adjusted EBITDA Maximum Objective			•  Historically, maximum Adjusted EBITDA performance under the annual incentive plan has been set at 105% of target. For 2025, maximum Adjusted EBITDA performance was set at 110% of target requiring a greater level of Adjusted EBITDA performance to achieve above target payouts in 2025.
	Reduced Weighting of Global Regulatory Submissions			•  The portion of the annual incentive related to Global Regulatory Submissions objective was reduced from 20% to 10% in 2025.
	Added Personal Objective to Annual Incentive Compensation Program			•  A personal objective, weighted at 10%, was added to the annual incentive in 2025 to allow the Compensation Committee greater discretion in evaluating management actions and execution of Company strategy.
	Revised Compensation Peer Group			•  Eli Lilly was eliminated from the peer group due to its market capitalization. With the removal of Eli Lilly, Viatris falls at the 44th percentile on revenue of the remaining peers.
	Amended Share Ownership Requirements Policy			•  The Compensation Committee amended its policy to exclude unearned performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) (including associated dividend equivalent units (“DEUs”)) from ownership calculations, thereby making our ownership requirements more robust.

Board Structure and Oversight

Viatris’ Board and committees are structured to provide effective oversight and direction to our management team.

Viatris has:

• 

An independent Chair of the Board (see page 23).

• 

A Board committee structure that supports comprehensive review and oversight of corporate strategy; management and performance; enterprise, operational, and commercial risk management; culture and human capital management; global drug pricing and commercialization; environmental and corporate sustainability matters; information security; and global developments, among many other matters (see pages 26 to 28).

• 

An active Board refreshment process that seeks to identify a diverse talent pool of qualified candidates for consideration (see pages 28 to 29). The Board has appointed seven new Directors since December 2022.

• 

The following standing Board committees: Audit, Compensation, Compliance and Risk Oversight, Executive, Finance, Governance and Sustainability, and Science and Technology.

• 

Board members who have a wealth and variety of experience and expertise (see page 7) and broad access to multiple levels of Company employees as well as external experts.

In addition, we believe that Viatris’ incorporation in Delaware further supports our shareholder-centric model. Our corporate governance structure includes, among other things:

• A one share, one vote single common stock class structure;

• A declassified board and annual director elections;

• A majority voting standard for uncontested director elections, with a director resignation provision as well as a majority vote requirement for other items to be voted on by shareholders (including amendments to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws); and

• Proxy access for director nominations that gives eligible shareholders (those who have continuously held shares of our common stock for at least three years, among other requirements) the ability to nominate and include in our proxy materials candidates for election to the Board.

For additional information regarding Board governance and oversight, please see pages 23 to 34.

Viatris’ Board of Directors

Board Overview

Viatris is committed to board refreshment and strong corporate governance. In particular, the Board has appointed seven new Directors since December 2022 and elected an independent Chair in 2023. We would like to recognize the valuable contributions of Mr. Korman and Mr. Malik, who have not been nominated for re-election at the 2025 Annual Meeting. As previously announced, each notified the Company of his intention to not stand for re-election at the 2025 Annual Meeting and to retire as a member of the Board at the end of his current term, which is scheduled to expire at the 2025 Annual Meeting.

The Board and the Governance and Sustainability Committee believe that each of our Director nominees possesses the qualifications, experience, judgment, leadership, and business skills necessary to provide robust oversight of the Company in the complex and evolving healthcare environment in which we operate. We believe our seven newest Directors have added further strength to important areas of expertise for the Board, including members with strong scientific, regulatory, accounting, financial, legal and management experience.

As discussed on pages 28 to 29 and 34 to 35 and as set forth in our Corporate Governance Principles, the Board seeks to identify, subject to and in accordance with applicable law, a diverse talent pool of qualified candidates for consideration as part of the Board’s refreshment and succession planning. The Board also seeks to combine the skills and experience of its long-standing Board members with the fresh perspectives, insights, skills, and experiences of new members. In connection with its refreshment process, the Board specifically sought individuals with C-suite level and/or pharmaceutical experience.

The Board has always believed that varied experiences and perspectives help drive innovation and serve Viatris’ mission, both at the Board level and in management. The Diversity and Inclusion Policy of the Viatris Board, which is available on our website at https://www.viatris.com/en/About-Us/Corporate-Governance, formalizes this long-standing commitment, in all cases subject to and in accordance with applicable law, to fostering a culture of inclusion and seeking, supporting, valuing, and leveraging diversity in the Board’s composition with characteristics that the Board believes serve the best interests of the Company and its stakeholders. The Board also continuously reviews and assesses its composition through, among other things, its annual board and committee self-evaluation process. For more information about the annual board and committee self-evaluation process, see “Annual Board and Committee Self-Evaluations” on page 29.

The following table highlights certain of our Director nominees’ key skills and experience. A summary of the importance of each key skill and experience is also noted. As discussed in “How Our Directors Are Selected and Evaluated” beginning on page 34, our Director nominees’ key skills and experience are among the factors considered by the Governance and Sustainability Committee in nominating Director candidates. 12 of our 13 nominees for Director at the 2025 Annual Meeting are independent under the applicable NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) listing rules (and 13 of our 15 current Directors are independent).

Item 1

Election of Directors

While Viatris' Board currently consists of 15 Directors, the Board has reduced the size of the Board to 13 Directors, effective after the 2025 Annual Meeting. The first item for consideration at the 2025 Annual Meeting is the election of 13 Director nominees. The Board has, upon the recommendation of our Governance and Sustainability Committee, nominated W. Don Cornwell, Frank D’Amelio, JoEllen Lyons Dillon, Elisha Finney, Leo Groothuis, Melina Higgins, James M. Kilts, Richard Mark, Mark Parrish, Michael Severino, David Simmons, Scott A. Smith, and Rogério Vivaldi Coelho (the “Nominees”) for re-election at our 2025 Annual Meeting. If re-elected, each Nominee will serve as a Director until our 2026 annual meeting of shareholders and until their successor is duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation, removal or retirement.

The Board and the Governance and Sustainability Committee have carefully evaluated the experience, structure, culture, operation, interactions, collaboration, and performance of the full Board; the talents, expertise, and contributions of individual Directors, including the Nominees; the Board’s leadership; the integration and evolution of the Company; the Board’s critical role in governance, risk oversight, and continuing to develop and lead the strategic direction of the Company; the Board’s ability to respond to the continued change and disruption in the healthcare industry; anticipated future opportunities and challenges facing the Company; and the Board’s ongoing commitment to ensuring shareholder value creation and long-term sustainability for the benefit of shareholders and other stakeholders. Based on these considerations, among others, Viatris’ Board recommends a vote “FOR” the election of each of the Nominees.

The Board’s general criteria for nomination to the Board are set forth in “How Our Directors Are Selected and Evaluated” beginning on page 34.

Information about each Nominee’s specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that led the Board to conclude that he or she should be re-elected as a Director is set forth below on pages 10 to 22. Each Nominee is currently on Viatris’ Board and each has consented to act as a Director if elected at the 2025 Annual Meeting. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named in this Proxy Statement.

Director Independence

Viatris’ Board has determined that Mr. Cornwell, Mr. D’Amelio, Ms. Dillon, Ms. Finney, Mr. Groothuis, Ms. Higgins, Mr. Kilts, Mr. Korman, Mr. Mark, Mr. Parrish, Dr. Severino, Mr. Simmons, and Dr. Vivaldi are independent Directors under the applicable NASDAQ listing rules.

Messrs. Malik and Smith are not independent Directors under applicable NASDAQ listing rules.

How Our Board Governs and Is Governed

Viatris’ Board Structure

As set forth in our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), the Company has a majority vote standard for director elections in the event of an uncontested election and a plurality standard in the event of a contested election. The Bylaws also provide that if a nominee for Director who is an incumbent is not elected and no successor has been elected at such meeting, the Director shall promptly tender their irrevocable resignation to the Board, such resignation to be effective upon acceptance by the Board. All Directors are submitted for election at each annual meeting of shareholders.

The Board has selected a leadership and management structure that it believes is best suited to meet the needs of the Company and our shareholders. The flexibility to make these decisions serves the interests of the Company and its shareholders, as the Board is best positioned to evaluate the optimal leadership structure for the Company based upon the respective talents of the individual Directors and the Company’s leadership team, strategic objectives, and challenges and opportunities over time.

Our Board Structure

The Board believes that its current leadership structure – Mr. Smith as CEO and Ms. Higgins as independent Chair – provides a clear delineation of responsibilities for each position and fosters greater accountability of management, which remain critical given our enduring focus on execution and results. The Board believes this structure allows the CEO to continue to focus on running the Company on a day-to-day basis while allowing the Chair to lead the Board in providing advice to, and independent oversight of, management. As set forth below, the independent Chair also has significant authority for all Board matters and serves as Chair of the Executive Committee.

As described in “Setting and Overseeing Strategy” on page 30 below, the Board actively discusses, determines, and oversees the Company’s strategic initiatives and priorities. The Board believes that Ms. Higgins’ skills and experience detailed on page 15 as well as her deep knowledge of the Company make her an invaluable leader of the Board and resource to the CEO and management. The Chair determines the information sent to Board, the Board’s meeting agendas, and meeting schedules to assure that the Board is properly informed with respect to agenda items in advance and that there is sufficient time for discussion of agenda items at the meetings. The Chair presides at all meetings of shareholders and serves as point person for shareholders wishing to communicate with the Board. The Chair of the Board also serves as Chair of the Executive Committee. The independent Chair also presides at executive sessions of the independent Directors and has the authority to call meetings of the independent Directors. As set forth in the Corporate Governance Principles, the independent Chair is responsible for appointing a Director to serve as Vice Chair. The Vice Chair serves on the Executive Committee and, in the absence of the Chair, presides over Board meetings. Ms. Higgins has appointed Mr. Parrish to serve as Vice Chair of the Board.

Mr. Smith is tasked with leading the daily management and performance of the business, which include, among other responsibilities, ensuring that the Company is optimally structured and efficiently resourced to deliver sustainable value to patients, shareholders, customers, and other key stakeholders and building and executing on the Company's strategy to accelerate its growth by building on the strength of its base business with an expanding portfolio of innovative, best-in-class, patent-protected assets, and focusing on the Company's strategic pillars: strengthening our core, fueling innovation, optimizing our global structure and investing for growth. The Board continues to believe that Mr. Smith’s experience and expertise positions him to manage the global nature and complexity of a business and execute on the Company's strategic initiatives and priorities. The Board has also adopted the corporate governance policies and practices set forth below that promote a strong and effective Board that provides independent oversight.

Meetings of Viatris’ Board

Viatris’ Board met seven times in 2024. In addition to meetings of the Board, Directors attended meetings of individual Board committees of which they were members, and all Directors standing for re-election attended greater than 75% of the aggregate of Board meetings and meetings of the committees of which they were a member in 2024. From January 1, 2025 to October 20, 2025, the Board met 9 times: all Directors standing for re-election attended more than 75% of the aggregate of Board meetings and meetings of the committees of which they were a member in 2025 through such date.

Viatris’ Corporate Governance Principles require the independent Directors of the Board to meet in separate executive sessions periodically, and at least twice annually, during regularly scheduled meetings of the Board, without any non-independent Directors or members of management present. The independent Directors of the Board met five times in executive session in 2024 and six times between January 1, 2025 and October 20, 2025, with Ms. Higgins, the Board Chair, presiding at those executive sessions.

Pursuant to Viatris’ Corporate Governance Principles, Directors are expected to attend the annual meeting of shareholders of the Company, where practicable. Each of our Directors at the time of the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders attended such meeting in person.

Meetings of Viatris' Board Committees

The standing committees of the Board are the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Compliance and Risk Oversight Committee, the Executive Committee, the Finance Committee, the Governance and Sustainability Committee, and the Science and Technology Committee. Each of these committees operates pursuant to a written charter, a current copy of which, along with our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, and Corporate Governance Principles, is available on Viatris’ website at https://www.viatris.com/en/About-Us/Corporate-Governance.

The Audit, Compensation, Compliance and Risk Oversight, Executive, Finance, and Governance and Sustainability Committees are composed entirely of independent Directors (as defined in the applicable NASDAQ listing rules and applicable SEC rules). Board approval of any Director appointment to the Audit, Compensation, Compliance and Risk Oversight, and Governance and Sustainability Committees must include at least a majority of the independent Directors. The Board has determined that Richard Mark, the Chair of the Audit Committee, is an “audit committee financial expert”, as that term is defined in the rules of the SEC.

Information regarding each of the committees is provided below and on the following pages, and pages 31 to 34 provide additional discussion of committee responsibilities with respect to risk oversight.

The table below provides the current membership (as of the date of this Proxy Statement) and meeting information for 2024 and 2025 (through October 20, 2025) for each standing Board committee held during each such period. In 2024, such committees collectively held 38 meetings, and in 2025, such committees collectively held 38 meetings through October 20, 2025.

Board Refreshment and Succession Planning

Viatris’ Board, with the support of the Governance and Sustainability Committee, seeks to identify, subject to and in accordance with applicable law, a diverse talent pool of qualified candidates for consideration as part of the Board’s refreshment and succession planning. The Board also seeks to combine the skills and experience of its long-standing Board members with the fresh perspectives, insights, skills, and experiences of new members in support of its belief that it is important for Directors to represent a variety of viewpoints. The Board believes that the personal backgrounds and qualifications of the Directors, considered as a group, should provide a composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities. The Board is committed to fostering a culture of integrity, inclusion, dignity, and mutual respect.

Viatris’ Board and Governance and Sustainability Committee evaluate Board composition with respect to many factors to ensure that the Board remains well-qualified to provide effective oversight of the Company and management. The Board and the Governance and Sustainability Committee consider Viatris’ strategy, performance, operations, relevant industry and market conditions, and current and anticipated needs in terms of particular areas of experience and expertise (e.g., risk oversight, industry, science), among many other factors, to inform these refreshment practices and decisions. In connection with its refreshment process, the Board specifically sought individuals with C-suite level and/or pharmaceutical experience. As we continue to evaluate Board composition, we also work to establish a pool of qualified potential candidates to support our continued refreshment efforts.

Viatris’ Board of Directors has always believed that varied experiences and perspectives help drive innovation and serve Viatris’ mission, both at the Board level and in management. The Board’s Diversity and Inclusion Policy formalizes this long-standing commitment, in all cases subject to and in accordance with applicable law, that the Board believes serve the best interests of the Company and our stakeholders. The Board, in seeking Director candidates, reviews the principles of the policy and also asks its

28 | 2025 Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 Item 1  Election of Directors 

supporting search firms to provide candidates consistent with those principles. The Board and Governance and Sustainability Committee consider this policy and diversity matters generally during their self-evaluations and when nominating Directors for election to the Board, and the Board considers the policy effective in making sure these matters are appropriately considered.

The Board has three women members, each of whom is nominated for re-election at the 2025 Annual Meeting, including our Chair, and three of our Board committees are chaired by women (Executive; Finance; and Governance and Sustainability). Our current Directors also include one individual that self-identifies as African American or Black, one individual that self-identifies as Hispanic or Latinx, one individual that self-identifies as Asian, and one individual who self-identifies as White and Asian. In addition, two of our executive officers (Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and Chief Commercial Officer) are women.

As a result of its continued Board refreshment efforts, the Board has appointed seven new Directors since December 2022 and elected an independent Chair in 2023. We would like to recognize the valuable contributions of Mr. Korman and Mr. Malik, who have not been nominated for re-election at the 2025 Annual Meeting. As previously announced, each notified the Company of his intention to not stand for re-election at the 2025 Annual Meeting and to retire as a member of the Board at the end of his current term, which is scheduled to expire at the 2025 Annual Meeting.

As part of the Board’s ongoing focus on board refreshment, since 2021 a third-party search firm has assisted with identifying potential new Director candidates. After initial screenings and outreach, as well as additional guidance from the Governance and Sustainability Committee, committee members and selected other Directors interviewed potential Director candidates identified by the third-party search firm as well as additional potential Director candidates recommended by Viatris Directors. Based on this process, the Board, on the recommendation of the Governance and Sustainability Committee, appointed Mr. D’Amelio, Dr. Severino and Mr. Simmons in 2025. We will continue to work to establish a pool of qualified potential candidates to support our Board refreshment efforts.

Reflecting the critical importance of senior leadership to the success of the Company and its overall business strategy, our Corporate Governance Principles also provide that the Board will work with senior management to ensure that effective plans are in place for management succession. The Board’s goal is to have a long-term and continuous program as well as to have contingency plans in place for emergencies such as departure, death, or disability. The Board discusses succession planning regularly at scheduled meetings, including in executive session, as appropriate. These succession planning activities have been and may continue to be supported by independent third-party consultants.

The Board prioritizes reviewing and discussing the succession plans for the CEO and each of his direct reports. Management succession planning has been, including with respect to our recent CEO, CFO, Chief Commercial Officer, and Chief Administrative and Transformation Officer appointments, and continues to be among the Board’s top priorities and is included in the annual goals for executive management.

Annual Board and Committee Self-Evaluations

The Governance and Sustainability Committee is responsible for overseeing the annual self-evaluation of the Board and its committees and, as part of those self-evaluations, engages an outside facilitator to lead the process. To date, the annual self-evaluations have alternated between using one-on-one interviews by the outside facilitator with each Director (with the outside facilitator then reporting out to the full Board) and a full Board discussion led by the outside facilitator. The self-evaluation process is designed to facilitate ongoing, systematic examination of the Board’s and committees’ effectiveness and accountability, and to identify opportunities for improving operations and procedures. In addition, the self-evaluations are intended to collect the perspectives of each Director, and are guided by use of a questionnaire, prepared by the outside facilitator, reviewed and approved by the Governance and Sustainability Committee and distributed to Directors in advance, which includes typical questions used to evaluate a board and its committees with appropriate tailoring for the Company. The questionnaire covers, among other topics: Board and committee composition and organization, including the Board's refreshment activities and responsibilities and oversight assigned to each committee; Board and committee leadership and management; Board responsibilities and oversight with respect to topics including, among others, strategic matters, succession planning and risk oversight, corporate sustainability and human capital management; Board and committee culture, administration and materials/resources; and Board, committee and Director performance.

Following its discussion with the outside facilitator, the Board discusses potential action items and evolves its processes where appropriate.

Setting and Overseeing Strategy

The Board actively discusses, determines, and oversees the Company's strategic initiatives and priorities and we believe the Board has demonstrated over time the consistency and natural progression of its strategy despite evolving, challenging, and often unpredictable market conditions.

Under the leadership of the Board, we have executed various strategic initiatives, transactions, and business arrangements over the last few years to return our base business to growth through 2024, deliver on our pipeline, reduce debt and return capital to shareholders. We have also completed certain transactions to simplify and streamline our business, accelerate paydown of debt and unlock value, including:

• In 2022, we completed a transaction to contribute our biosimilars portfolio to Biocon Biologics Limited (the “Biocon Biologics Transaction”).

• In 2023 and 2024, we substantially completed the divestitures of our over-the-counter (“OTC”) business (“OTC Business”), our active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) business in India (while retaining some selective R&D capabilities in API), our women's healthcare business primarily related to oral and injectable contraceptives, our rights to two women's healthcare products in certain countries and our commercialization rights in select geographic markets that were part of the Combination.

Our future will be guided by four strategic pillars:

• Strengthen Our Core – Evolving our generics business by focusing on more profitable, higher-margin complex products, and building our global established brands business by adding brands that leverage our global capabilities.

• Fuel Innovation – Advancing a pipeline of best-in-class, patent-protected assets and growing our innovative brands business through strategic accretive in-market business development opportunities to accelerate growth in key areas.

• Optimize Our Global Structure – Simplifying our cost structure, improving resource allocation and achieving operational efficiency in line with the changing needs of our business so that we can ensure we’re building a company that is both competitive today and prepared for the future.

• Invest for Growth – Building organizational capabilities, developing talent, and investing in digital tools needed to compete and win in a rapidly changing healthcare environment.

 Item 1  Election of Directors 

The Board remains committed to overseeing these efforts and to maintaining an ongoing dialogue with shareholders regarding a broad range of topics, including, among others, our strategic initiatives and priorities; capital allocation; governance; compensation; and corporate environmental and social responsibility matters.

Risk Oversight

Viatris operates in a complex and rapidly changing environment that involves many potential risks. In addition to general market, industry, R&D, supply chain, political, financial, and economic risks, the Company faces potential risks related to, among others, executing on and implementing our strategic initiatives and priorities, including divestitures, acquisitions, or other potential transactions; IT and cybersecurity; data privacy; financial controls and reporting; manufacturing and quality; legal, regulatory, and compliance requirements and developments; the global nature of our operations; human capital management; corporate environmental and social responsibility; product portfolio, product development, clinical trials, and commercialization, among others. As a company committed to operating ethically and with integrity, we proactively seek to manage and, where possible, mitigate risks to help ensure compliance with applicable rules and regulations, maintain integrity and continuity in our operations and business, including in support of achieving strategic priorities and long-term financial and operational performance, and protect our assets (financial, intellectual property, and information, among others). Risk management is an enterprise-wide objective and is subject to oversight by the Board and its committees.

It is the responsibility of Viatris’ management and employees to identify material risks to our business and to implement and administer risk management and mitigation processes and programs, while also maintaining reasonable flexibility in how we operate. Our internal audit function coordinates cross functionally to maintain the Company’s enterprise risk assessment, including the identification of key and emerging risks, and reviews and refreshes this analysis quarterly with executive management. For each key or emerging risk identified, the Company establishes risk monitoring ownership, from which quarterly updates are collected for executive management and the Compliance and Risk Oversight Committee. The Company’s internal risk committee of senior management consists of senior leaders across multiple disciplines, including internal audit, IT, information security, compliance, corporate affairs, operations, finance, legal, and quality and meets quarterly to review and discuss risks and trends, which vary across the short-, medium-, and long-term. To further embed risk management and compliance into our culture, Viatris has a robust global corporate compliance program, implements comprehensive policies and procedures, trains employees on how to implement and comply with them, and maintains an extensive program of oversight and audit to help ensure compliance and appropriate enterprise risk management.

2025 Proxy Statement | 31

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 Item 1  Election of Directors 

The Company’s risk oversight framework also aligns with our disclosure controls and procedures. For example, the Company’s Disclosure Committee reviews the Company’s quarterly and annual financial statements and related disclosures. The Disclosure Committee consists of senior management including our CFO, Chief Legal Officer, Chief Governance Counsel and Corporate Secretary, Chief Accounting Officer and Corporate Controller, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, and Head of Capital Markets, all of whom participate in the associated risk assessment as described above. The financial statements are also reviewed with the CEO before being reviewed with and approved by the Audit Committee, and filed with the SEC.

The Board directly, or through its committees, oversees the implementation of risk management and mitigation processes. The Board and its committees rigorously review with management the risk management program and discuss risk assessment matters at least quarterly, as well as during the Board’s annual budget review and approval process. Each of our Board committees has full access to officers and employees of the Company, and the Board and committees also meet in executive session without members of management present. The Board and committee Chairs periodically discuss the allocation of specific risk oversight matters between the various Board committees and the Board believes that its current risk oversight structure, as outlined below, assigns particular risk oversight matters to the Board committees that have the appropriate expertise to manage them. The Board also has the authority to form special strategic committees if it believes that it would be advisable to oversee significant strategic or other corporate actions, including the risks related thereto. All Board committees also have access to outside advisors in their sole discretion and periodically receive external updates concerning oversight of risks related to the Company and management’s efforts to manage risk. The Compliance and Risk Oversight Committee is responsible for appointing and replacing the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer, who is responsible for, among other things, the day-to-day management and implementation of the Company’s Corporate Compliance Program and who reports to the Compliance and Risk Oversight Committee and the Chief Legal Officer. In addition to meeting with the Company’s internal risk committee of senior management, which meets at least quarterly, the Chief Compliance Officer meets at least quarterly with the Audit Committee and the Compliance and Risk Oversight Committee.

The Board also has approved a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Code of Ethics for Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Corporate Controller, and other related policies to help manage and mitigate risk globally.

The Vice Chair of the Board serves as Chair of the Compliance and Risk Oversight Committee, which also meets at least twice a year with other committee Chairs to discuss risk-related matters and the Company’s enterprise risk management framework. While the full Board has retained responsibility for overseeing strategic risks to the business overall, it has delegated oversight of specific risks to its committees as outlined below.

Board Committees’ Role in Risk Oversight

• The Audit Committee focuses on risks relating to financial and disclosure controls, SEC reporting matters, and oversight of Viatris’ internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm. The Committee oversees, among other matters, the Company’s processes and procedures relating to risk assessment and risk management relating to financial, disclosure, and SEC reporting-related matters, and reviews with management the quality and adequacy of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, including their effectiveness.

The Board’s Role in Oversight of Corporate Sustainability

Viatris’ Board oversees management’s efforts with respect to sustainability matters through its Governance and Sustainability Committee. The Company’s sustainability function operates as a center of excellence within the Viatris Corporate Affairs leadership team. The Head of Global Sustainability drives the strategic and operational development of sustainability matters across the Company, together with key partners.

The Governance and Sustainability Committee reviews progress with the Chief Corporate Affairs Officer and Head of Global Sustainability on sustainability matters on an annual basis to confirm the Company is tracking its priorities in this area.

The Board’s and its Committees’ Role in Cybersecurity Oversight

The Company maintains an information security program designed to govern, identify, protect, detect, respond to, and recover from cybersecurity threats. The Company’s Chief Information Security Officer & Head of Global Security, under the direction of the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer prior to August 2025, and under the direction of the Company's Chief Administrative and Transformation Officer, since that time reports quarterly to an internal risk committee of senior management, which includes the CEO, CFO, Chief Legal Officer, Chief Administrative and Transformation Officer, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, Chief Information Officer, Chief Compliance Officer, Chief Quality Officer, Chief Supply Officer, Chief R&D Officer, and Regional Presidents, as well as the Board on the progress of the information security program and overall security status.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 Item 1  Election of Directors 

cause severe reputational damage, executive management may determine that it is necessary to notify the Board or the Compliance and Risk Oversight Committee about such a cybersecurity incident immediately. Otherwise, the Compliance and Risk Oversight Committee receives reports from executive management on data security, cybersecurity, and information security-related matters on at least a quarterly basis, including with respect to related risks, risk management, risk reduction programs, and relevant legislative, regulatory, and technical developments. On a biannual basis, the Compliance and Risk Oversight Committee and chairs of each other Committee of the Board receive an information security update from the Company’s Chief Information Security Officer & Head of Global Security, the Chief Compliance Officer, and the Chief Information Officer. The full Board receives a report on the respective quarterly discussions from the Chair of the Compliance and Risk Oversight Committee each quarter.

Board Education and Director Orientation

The Governance and Sustainability Committee is responsible for overseeing and reviewing quarterly Director continuing education programs, including educational seminars, presentations, conferences, and other programs or opportunities presented by external and internal resources, on matters that may relate to, among other topics: compensation, compliance, governance, board process, risk oversight, audit and accounting, regulatory and other current issues. Past trainings have included the Stanford Graduate School of Business Directors’ Consortium, the National Association of Corporate Directors' Summit, the Goldman Sachs Directors’ Symposium, and Deloitte’s Board Symposium, among others. The Company reimburses Directors for costs associated with any related seminars and conferences, including travel expenses.

The Governance and Sustainability Committee is also responsible for overseeing and annually reviewing the Company’s Director orientation program. The program is designed to familiarize new Directors with, among other matters, the Company’s business, operations, financial reporting, risk management, and executive officers. In addition, new Directors receive extensive onboarding materials which address topics including the Company’s strategy, policies, Director roles and responsibilities, corporate governance policies and procedures, and leadership structure.

How Our Directors Are Selected and Evaluated

Consideration of Director Nominees

For purposes of identifying individuals qualified to become members of the Board, and consistent with the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles, the Governance and Sustainability Committee considers the following general criteria, among others, in nominating Director candidates. These criteria reflect the traits, abilities, and experience that the Board considers in determining candidates for election:

• Highest ethical character and shares the values of the Company

• Personal and/or professional reputations that are consistent with the image and reputation of the Company

• Relevant expertise and experience and ability to offer advice and guidance to the CEO and senior management based on that expertise and experience

• Sound business judgment

• Diverse perspectives and personal backgrounds

In addition to the criteria set forth above, and any others the Governance and Sustainability Committee or Viatris’ Board may consider, a majority of the members of the Board must be “independent”, as that term may be defined from time to time by the applicable NASDAQ listing standards, including that an independent Director must be free of any relationships which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of such Director’s independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a Director.

As needed, the Governance and Sustainability Committee may identify new potential Director nominees by, among other means, requesting current Directors, executive officers, and external advisors to notify it if they become aware of persons meeting the criteria described above who would be suitable candidates for service on Viatris’ Board. The Committee also may, as needed,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 Item 1  Election of Directors 

engage one or more firms that specialize in identifying Director candidates. The Governance and Sustainability Committee also may consider candidates recommended by shareholders in accordance with the procedures outlined in the question titled, “How do I recommend a candidate for nomination to Viatris’ Board?” on page A-7. The Committee’s evaluation process does not vary based on whether a candidate is recommended by a shareholder.

As appropriate, the Governance and Sustainability Committee will review publicly available information regarding a potential candidate, request information from the candidate, review the candidate’s experience and qualifications, including in light of any other candidates the Governance and Sustainability Committee might be considering, and conduct, together with other members of Viatris’ Board, one or more interviews with the candidate. Governance and Sustainability Committee members or their designees also may contact one or more references provided by the candidate or may contact other members of the business community or persons who have first-hand knowledge of the candidate’s talents and experience.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Based on a review of any transactions between Viatris and its Directors, Director nominees and executive officers, their immediate family members, and their affiliated entities, Viatris has determined that since the beginning of 2024, it was or is to be a participant in the following transactions in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any of Viatris’ Directors, executive officers, or greater than five percent shareholders, or any of their immediate family members, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest:

Mr. Malik, a Director and former executive officer of the Company, was party to an employment agreement with Mylan Inc., which contained standard indemnification provisions, and is currently party to a standard indemnification agreement with the Company. The Company has made payments to counsel to Mr. Malik of approximately $473,000 from January 1, 2024 through October 20, 2025 for services provided to Mr. Malik in connection with certain previously disclosed drug pricing matters. The Company anticipates making additional payments of approximately $183,000 in 2025 for ongoing services to be provided to Mr. Malik in connection with such matters. Viatris anticipates additional payment, repayment or advancement of these and other expenses during the pendency of these matters and anticipates that it will make payments for any such claims. In addition, in 2025, the Company made a payment to Mr. Malik equal to approximately $622,000, representing amounts relating to Company profit sharing contributions and his prior participation in the Company’s 401(k) Restoration Plan (the “Restoration Plan”). As previously disclosed, Mr. Malik advises the Company on certain operational matters given his expertise in historical Company operations. In connection with his retirement from the Board, the Board may consider a short-term extension to his advisory role to further assist in these matters on current terms, which provide for continued vesting in equity awards that Mr. Malik currently holds. If proposed by the Board, the Audit Committee will review and consider for approval this short-term extension in accordance with its related party transactions policy.

Viatris has a written related party transactions policy that establishes guidelines for the Audit Committee to review and approve or ratify, as appropriate, transactions involving any Director, nominee for Director, “officer” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), person known by the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of the Company’s voting securities, or person known by the Company to be an immediate family member of any such person in which (1) the amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $100,000; (2) Viatris or an affiliate of Viatris is or will be a participant; and (3) any related party has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. The Board also annually reviews certain relationships and related party transactions as part of its assessment of each Director’s independence.

Non-Employee Director Share Ownership Guidelines

Effective January 1, 2021, the Board adopted revised share ownership guidelines for Non-Employee Directors, requiring each to hold common stock valued at five times the amount of their annual cash retainer, excluding any cash retainer paid for committee service. Each Non-Employee Director has five years from his or her start date to attain compliance. These guidelines further demonstrate alignment of Viatris Non-Employee Directors’ interests with shareholders’ interests for the duration of their Board service. Common stock actually owned by the Non-Employee Director as well as restricted shares and unvested RSUs (including corresponding DEUs) count toward compliance with these requirements.

Item 2

Advisory Vote to Approve the 2024 Compensation of the Named Executive Officers of the Company

As required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act, Viatris’ shareholders have the opportunity to vote to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the 2024 compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in this Proxy Statement in accordance with SEC rules, which we also have referred to herein as the “Say-on-Pay vote”.

As detailed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement, which begins on page 43, our NEO compensation program is designed to incentivize the continued development of our durable business and shareholder value creation over the short- and long-term, while providing a competitive level of compensation to attract, retain, and motivate our talented NEOs. Our program also aligns compensation with performance and shareholder and other stakeholder interests. The Compensation Committee has also continued to enhance our compensation program in connection with robust shareholder engagement and feedback. The Board urges you to consider the factors discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section when deciding how to vote on this Item 2.

Given the leadership, dedication, and performance of our NEOs, their proven ability to capitalize on opportunities and manage challenging market conditions, and the strong alignment between pay and performance in our compensation program, the Board recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the following resolution at the 2025 Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that Viatris shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the 2024 compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed on pages 43 to 66 of Viatris’ Proxy Statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation and other tables and narrative discussion.”

Although advisory and not binding, the Compensation Committee and the Board will take into account the outcome of this vote when considering future compensation arrangements for Viatris’ NEOs as they deem appropriate. We currently provide shareholders with a Say-on-Pay vote on an annual basis and expect that the next such vote will occur at the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders.

Executive Summary

Shareholder Responsiveness and Continued Evolution of Our Compensation Program

We were disappointed by our Say-on-Pay vote in 2024. Based on our robust shareholder engagement in connection with, and following, the 2024 Say-on-Pay vote, we believe that our Say-on-Pay results in 2024 were driven primarily by concerns relating to the transitional consulting arrangement that we entered into with our former Executive Chairman. Shareholders did not express concerns with any other aspect of our compensation program in our meetings. Since October 2024, we met with 20 of our 50 largest shareholders representing approximately 50% of the outstanding shares and reached out to approximately 30 of our 50 largest shareholders representing approximately 55% of outstanding shares (in each case based on June 30, 2025 shareholder data). Based on both the Board’s belief that the transitional matters covered by the consulting arrangement have been successfully completed and/or transitioned and this shareholder feedback, the Board determined that the consulting arrangement would not be renewed and then subsequently ended the consulting arrangement as of June 30, 2025. As a result, Mr. Coury is no longer serving as a consultant to the Company, and we believe that we have completed the transition to a simplified leadership and compensation structure.

In addition, we took several further actions that we believe address the 2024 Say-on-Pay vote and align our program with shareholder outcomes. The table below details the additional actions we took.

	Reduced the 2024 Annual Incentive Payout			•  The Compensation Committee exercised negative discretion to reduce the 2024 annual incentive payout. This negative discretion was exercised due to the unique timing of the import alert related to the Indore, India facility, and the resulting impact on the Company's financials and share price. 2024 performance outcomes for Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Global Regulatory Submissions would have resulted in a 163.92% bonus funding under the provisions of the short-term incentive plan. The Compensation Committee reduced funding to 140%.
	Increased Difficulty of 2025 Adjusted EBITDA Maximum Objective			•  Historically, maximum Adjusted EBITDA performance under the annual incentive plan has been set at 105% of target. For 2025, maximum Adjusted EBITDA performance was set at 110% of target requiring a greater level of Adjusted EBITDA performance to achieve above target payouts in 2025.
	Reduced Weighting of Global Regulatory Submissions			•  The portion of the annual incentive related to Global Regulatory Submissions objective was reduced from 20% to 10% in 2025.
	Added Personal Objective to Annual Incentive Compensation Program			•  A personal objective, weighted at 10%, was added to the annual incentive in 2025 to allow the Compensation Committee greater discretion in evaluating management actions and execution of Company strategy.
	Revised Compensation Peer Group			•  Eli Lilly was eliminated from the peer group due to its market capitalization. With the removal of Eli Lilly, Viatris falls at the 44th percentile on revenue of the remaining peers.
	Amended Share Ownership Requirements Policy			•  The Compensation Committee amended its policy to exclude unearned PRSUs (including associated DEUs) from ownership calculations, thereby making our ownership requirements more robust.

Our Compensation Structure is Simple and Approximately Two-Thirds Performance Based

Our Compensation Committee has implemented a simple and performance-focused compensation program which is primarily focused on base salary, a performance-based short-term incentive award, and long-term incentive awards consisting of PRSUs and RSUs. For fiscal year 2024, 61% of NEO total target compensation was performance-based and 68% of NEO total target compensation was delivered as long-term equity.

 Compensation Discussion and Analysis 

In addition, our PRSUs are subject to a total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance modifier assessed over a three-year time frame relative to the S&P 500 Pharmaceutical Index, further aligning compensation with performance.

Despite Above-Target Results for 2024 Short-Term Incentive Compensation Objectives, Our Compensation Committee Reduced 2024 Short-Term Incentive Program Payouts

We achieved above-target results for 2024 under the objectives established in early 2024 under our short-term incentive program. Despite these results, our Board and Compensation Committee exercised negative discretion to reduce payouts to our executive team considering the warning letter and import alert relating to our facility in Indore, India, which was received in late 2024. In addition, in establishing short-term incentive program targets for 2025, the Board set challenging stretch financial performance targets to encourage financial outperformance in 2025. The Board believes that these actions were appropriate to further align management compensation with share price performance and to encourage management to work expeditiously to resolve the issues relating to this facility.

Selected Highlights and Recent Developments

2024 was an important year for Viatris and an important inflection point for the Company. The Company achieved several notable accomplishments related to its stated strategic pillars of growth acceleration and shareholder return.

Business Strategy

The Company laid out three strategic pillars to accelerate growth and shareholder return:

• Diversified and Growing Base Business: The Company believes its continued success in its base business comes from its large and diversified portfolio of generics and off-patent brands that extends across markets and therapeutic areas. Here the Company has a clear legacy of deep product knowledge and extensive commercialization and development expertise. We believe it is important that Viatris maintains a strong focus on growing its base business over the long-term.

• Financial Strength and Significant Cash Flow: The Company believes its strong balance sheet and sector-leading cash flow generation differentiate it from sector peers. The Company expects to continue to deliver on its long-term financial strategy to return capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, while making investments in its business.

• Expanding Innovative Portfolio: This represents the Company’s continuous efforts to identify, vet, and secure innovative, best-in-class, patent-protected assets in areas of unmet medical need in which it can be successful. By expanding its innovative portfolio, the Company believes it has the potential to drive accelerated and durable revenue growth over the long-term.

Financial and Operational Performance

In 2024, Viatris:

• Reported total revenues of $14.7 billion; U.S. GAAP net loss of $(634) million; adjusted EBITDA of $4.7 billion; U.S. GAAP diluted EPS loss of $(0.53) per share; adjusted EPS of $2.65 per share; U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities of $2.3 billion; and free cash flow of $2.0 billion (which included ~$650 million of transaction-related costs).

• Paid down approximately $3.7 billion of debt and achieved its long-term gross leverage target¹, ending the year at 2.9x².

• Generated new product revenues³ of $582 million.

• Returned $825 million in capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

• Supplied high-quality medicines to ~1 billion patients⁴ around the world.

• Completed its remaining planned divestitures, including:

• 

In March 2024, the Company completed the divestiture of its women's healthcare business, primarily related to its oral and injectable contraceptives, to Insud Pharma, S.L., a leading Spanish multinational pharmaceutical company. The transaction included two manufacturing facilities in India: one in Ahmedabad and one in Sarigam.

• 

In June 2024, the Company completed the divestiture of its API business in India to Matrix Pharma Private Limited, a privately held pharmaceutical company based in India. The transaction included three manufacturing sites and an R&D lab in Hyderabad India, three manufacturing sites in Vizag, India, and third-party API sales. Viatris retained some selective R&D capabilities in API.

• 

In July 2024, the Company completed the divestiture of its OTC Business to Cooper Consumer Health, a leading European OTC drug manufacturer and distributor. The transaction included two manufacturing sites located in Merignac, France, and Confienza, Italy, and an R&D site in Monza, Italy. The Company retained the rights for Viagra®, Dymista® (which, in certain limited markets, are sold as OTC products), and select OTC products in certain markets.

Science and Regulatory Achievements

Viatris’ R&D and clinical platform, which includes regulatory activities, seeks to deliver new product opportunities across all of the Company’s categories and markets and to evaluate opportunities to expand the scope of our existing product portfolio with a focus on development activities. The Company’s product pipeline includes a variety of dosage, including oral solid dosage, transdermals, injectables, inhalation, and other delivery systems. While committed to generics and specialty products, over the last several years, a greater portion of the Company’s investments has been focused on complex or difficult-to-formulate products, such as modified release or complex injectables such as glucagon, rather than on commodity products, such as conventional oral solid dosage forms.

As previously mentioned, one of the Company’s three strategic pillars in 2024 to accelerate growth and shareholder return was our focus on expanding our innovative portfolio to identify, vet and secure best-in-class, patented-protected assets in areas of unmet medical need in which it can be successful. In 2024, the Company made several additions to its innovative portfolio, including the following:

• In March 2024, the Company acquired exclusive global development and commercialization rights to two Phase 3 assets from Idorsia Ltd., selatogrel and cenerimod, as well as the potential to add additional innovative assets in the future.

1
The Company has not quantified future amounts to develop this target, which does not reflect company guidance, but has stated its goal to manage notional gross debt and adjusted EBITDA over time in order to generally maintain or reach the target.

2
See Appendix B — “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)” for more information. U.S. GAAP net (loss) for 2024 was $(634.2) million and U.S. GAAP total debt was $14,039.5 million.

Refers to revenue from new products launched in 2024 and the carryover impact of new products, including business development, launched within the last 12 months.

The number of patients served is an estimate calculated using internal sales data (global volume of doses sold in 2024 in all markets as aligned with IQVIA standard units), divided by estimated per patient usage, which is based on treatment dose, treatment duration, and treatment adherence as estimated by Viatris Medical Affairs based on approved label indication and instructions for use, current international guideline recommendations, and common usage in clinical practice. Patients using multiple Viatris medicines may be counted as multiple patients. Certain adjustments were applied to account for acceptable alternatives to the patient usage factors noted above and rounded to the nearest hundred million. Estimates may be subject to reassessment.

Selatogrel is a potential life-saving self-administered medicine for patients with a history of acute myocardial infarction, or heart attack, and builds on Viatris' existing global cardiovascular franchise and specialty infrastructure, as well as its knowledge, leadership, and distribution capabilities for self-administered medication for acute life-threatening conditions.

Cenerimod is a novel immunology asset that has the potential to be a first-in-class oral therapy for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus, the most common form of lupus. Through lifecycle management, this asset also has the potential for broad application across multiple autoimmune diseases in a specialist-driven category with attractive market dynamics for oral therapies and could be a cornerstone asset in Viatris' immunology portfolio.

• In October 2024, the Company announced an exclusive licensing agreement with Lexicon Pharmaceuticals for sotagliflozin in all markets outside of the U.S. and Europe. Sotagliflozin was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in May 2023 to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death, hospitalization for heart failure, and urgent heart failure visit in adults with heart failure or type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, and other cardiovascular risk factors.

Executive Transitions in 2024

Sanjeev Narula, our former Chief Financial Officer, departed from the Company effective March 5, 2024. Mr. Narula received severance benefits based on a termination without cause equal to two times his base salary and target bonus. Mr. Narula also received a pro rata bonus for 2024 and a pro rata portion of his PRSUs granted in 2022 reflecting his period of executive service. Mr. Narula is also eligible to receive a pro rata portion of his PRSUs granted in 2023 based on actual performance at the end of the applicable performance period in 2025. Other, unvested equity awards that Mr. Narula held as of his separation were forfeited.

The Company appointed Ms. Mistras to serve as CFO beginning March 1, 2024 and Dr. Le Goff to serve as Chief Commercial Officer beginning April 15, 2024.

Executive Compensation Philosophy

The Compensation Committee and Board’s compensation philosophy for 2024 reflects the Company’s performance-based, shareholder-value-focused business model and is intended to help ensure that Viatris continues to attract and retain high-performing executives given the highly competitive market for executive talent. The compensation program has the following key objectives, among others:

• 

Attract, Motivate and Retain Highly Skilled Executives. To attract and retain the leaders needed to execute our ambitious goals, we provide market competitive compensation with an emphasis on performance-based, long-term incentives. We designed our compensation program to help ensure that the Company, shareholders, and other stakeholders continue to benefit from the talents of our leadership team and global workforce, while also recruiting new talent on an on-going basis in a highly competitive market for talent.

• 

Align with Shareholder Interests. We aligned executive compensation with shareholder interests by linking pay to the Company’s stated strategic priorities, long-term performance, and share price appreciation, including through the use of a relative TSR modifier for PRSUs in our long-term incentive plan and robust share ownership requirements. We believe this linkage helps drive long-term performance and encourages decision making to foster share price appreciation.

• 

Drive Company Performance. As described in more detail on pages 44 to 45 and 48 to 52, our 2024 compensation program was designed with metrics carefully linked to our business strategies and financial goals. If the Company does not meet its short- and long-term objectives, executive pay is meaningfully impacted.

Considerations for Setting 2024 Incentive Performance Goals

In setting annual and long-term incentive performance goals, the Compensation Committee considered a variety of information, including potential divestitures, industry forecasts, internal projections, demographic data, advice from outside advisors, and the Company’s annual operating plan and strategies. The Compensation Committee also considered the variability and cyclicality of the business, noting that targets may increase or decrease from year-to-year due to factors impacting the business, such as market conditions, the regulatory environment, timing of product approvals, and both immediate and long-term strategic priorities of the business. Although the targets may vary from year-to-year, the Compensation Committee is committed to maintaining high levels of rigor while motivating the executive team and aligning with long-term sustainable business development and shareholder value creation. Consistent with our philosophy of driving long-term Company performance, the Compensation Committee, with the advice of its independent compensation consultant, annually considers potential alternative performance metrics that link to our strategy and align with shareholder interests in long-term value creation.

2024 Peer Group

The peer group is used as one of several reference points for determining executive compensation and includes Viatris’ business competitors and companies that Viatris competes with for executive talent. Although the competitive market for our executives is one factor the Compensation Committee considers when making compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee does not target the compensation of NEOs within a specific percentile of any set of peer companies and considers peer group and industry data along with many other factors when determining compensation.

Below is the peer group selected by the Compensation Committee for 2024, with the advice of the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant.

	Abbott Laboratories			Bristol-Myers Squibb Company			Pfizer Inc.
	Amgen Inc.			Eli Lilly and Company			Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
	Bausch Health Companies Inc.			Gilead Sciences, Inc.			Sanofi S.A.
	Baxter International Inc.			Novartis AG			Teva Pharmaceutical Limited
	Biogen Inc.			Organon & Co.			Zoetis Inc.

As noted above, during 2025, the Compensation Committee determined to remove Eli Lilly and Company from our peer group due to its market capitalization and to add Sandoz Pharmaceuticals as a new member of the peer group.

Elements of 2024 Compensation

Base Salaries

The Compensation Committee considers a variety of factors in deciding base salary, including, among others: individual performance, responsibilities, and expected future performance; Company performance; management structure; marketplace practices (including external benchmarks prepared by an independent compensation consultant); internal pay equity considerations; competitive recruitment for outstanding talent; and the executive’s experience, tenure, and leadership. The Compensation Committee also considers, among other factors, what the marketplace would require in terms of the costs to hire a similarly qualified and experienced individual externally.

As reflected in the table below, in 2024, there were adjustments made to base salaries to reflect changes in market data and expanded responsibilities.

	NEO			2023 Base Salary			2024 Base Salary
	Scott A. Smith			$1,400,000			$1,400,000

2024 Annual Incentive Compensation Program

Annual Incentive Compensation Awards for 2024

Viatris’ annual incentive compensation consists of performance-based annual cash awards that are subject to achievement of metrics that were identified by the Board and Compensation Committee as critical to the successful execution of Viatris’ business strategy and aligned with the creation of shareholder value. The metrics link the actions and leadership of our executive team to Company performance and shareholder returns, both in the short- and long-term. The Compensation Committee approved annual incentive award grants and corresponding performance targets in the first quarter of 2024.

The Compensation Committee identified the following metrics as important measures of Company performance relating to its stated strategy:

• Adjusted EBITDA (40% Weighting): Measures the Company’s profitability and motivates the organization to focus on commercial execution and driving new product revenue, maintaining efficiency of our operations, capturing synergies, and disciplined expense management.

• Free Cash Flow (40% Weighting): Creates organizational emphasis and focus on cash through improved cash flow conversion, optimized working capital, and overall cash generation which can increase the return to shareholders.

• Global Regulatory Submissions (20% Weighting): Emphasizes the importance of developing a robust pipeline of molecules that Viatris could manufacture and sell over subsequent years. A robust product pipeline can help Viatris move its products up the value chain and also supports sustainability while serving Viatris’ mission of providing access to high quality, affordable medications.

Adjusted EBITDA is derived from Viatris’ financial statements in the same manner as Viatris’ publicly reported adjusted EBITDA for 2024, except that the calculation for the 2024 annual incentive program utilized 2024 budgeted foreign exchange rates and further adjusts for all impacts of the Company’s divestitures following their consummation, and acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) costs. Viatris’ adjusted EBITDA as reported for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 is reconciled to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure in Appendix B.

2
Free cash flow is derived from Viatris’ audited financial statements in the same manner as Viatris’ publicly reported free cash flow for 2024, except that the calculation for the 2024 annual incentive program utilized 2024 budgeted foreign exchange rates and further adjusts for transaction costs and taxes primarily related to the Company’s divestitures, all impacts of the Company’s divestitures following their consummation, proceeds from the sale of certain property, plant and equipment, and material unplanned litigation gains and losses equal or greater than $25 million in the aggregate. Viatris’ free cash flow as reported for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 is reconciled to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure in Appendix B.

The performance metrics set forth above resulted in an achieved performance payout reflecting 163.92% of target. Despite these above-target results, our Board and Compensation Committee exercised negative discretion to reduce payouts in light of the warning letter and import alert relating to our facility in Indore, India, which was received in late 2024. In addition, in establishing short-term incentive program targets for 2025, the Board set challenging stretch financial performance targets to encourage financial outperformance in 2025. The Board believes that these actions were appropriate to further align management compensation with share price performance and to incentivize management to work expeditiously to resolve the issues relating to this facility.

The following table shows the 2024 actual incentive payout for each active NEO reflecting reduced payout of 140% of target instead of 163.92% of target.

2024 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Programs

Long-Term Incentive Compensation Grants for 2024

The Compensation Committee believes that the value of long-term incentives should be directly related to the performance of Viatris’ common stock over several years, as well as other measures associated with the growth, success, and long-term sustainability of Viatris. The Compensation Committee approved annual long-term incentive (“LTI”) award grants in the first quarter of 2024.

In 2022, we increased the percentage of performance-based awards (which are subject to a TSR modifier) from 60% to 65%, with 65% of each NEO’s award in the form of PRSUs and 35% in the form of RSUs and we continued this practice in 2024. This increase in the allocation to PRSUs reflects a further reinforcement of our pay-for-performance philosophy and our robust shareholder engagement. RSUs vest ratably over a three-year period following the grant date, and PRSUs vest as described below. This mix of LTI awards provides NEOs with a combination of incentives and aligns them with the interests of shareholders.

Each NEO’s 2024 LTI award had a targeted value at grant equal to a percentage of the NEO’s base salary. In setting each NEO’s LTI targeted value, the Compensation Committee considered a variety of factors, including, among others, peer group compensation and expectations regarding individual roles and responsibilities.

For 2024, the Compensation Committee approved the following annual LTI award values for our active NEOs:

	NEO			PRSUs			RSUs			Total LTI Award
	Scott A. Smith1			$6,370,000			$3,430,000			$9,800,000
	Doretta Mistras			$2,145,000			$1,155,000			$3,300,000

2024 Three-Year PRSU Performance Metrics

The 2024 grant of PRSUs is subject to free cash flow performance and TSR performance relative to the S&P 500 Pharmaceutical Index, which is used as a modifier to determine the final payout percentage, as described below. The free cash flow metric incentivizes effective use of Viatris’ capital to drive cash flow generation, encouraging behavior that is closely aligned with our efforts to drive a durable and sustainable business. In addition, the relative TSR modifier impacts executive pay based on Viatris’ performance as compared to industry competitors.

As shown in the table below, payouts under the 2024 PRSUs will be determined in two steps. First, in the first quarter of 2027, the outcome of the free cash flow metric will be assessed, resulting in an initial payout percentage of 50% for threshold performance (with 0% payout for below threshold performance) up to 150% for maximum performance, with linear interpolation for achievement between threshold and maximum. Second, the relative TSR metric will be applied as a modifier to the initial payout percentage with the effect of decreasing it by 30%, leaving it unaffected, or increasing it by 30%.

Free cash flow is derived from Viatris’ audited financial statements in the same manner as the calculation for Viatris’ 2024 annual incentive program, except that the calculation for the 2024 PRSUs further adjusts for any of the following, as applicable: material changes in tax laws, unbudgeted restructuring costs and unbudgeted R&D expense. Free cash flow for the 2024 PRSUs will be the sum of such free cash flow measure for each of the years ended December 31, 2024, 2025 and 2026 and will utilize budgeted foreign exchange rates for the relevant year. Viatris’ free cash flow as reported for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 is reconciled to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure in Appendix B.

Relative TSR is calculated by comparing the difference between Viatris’ 30-day trailing average closing ordinary share price at the day before the beginning of the performance period and day before the end of the performance period plus any dividends paid during the performance period against the same metric for each company in the S&P 500 Pharmaceutical Index.

Payouts with respect to PRSUs granted in 2024 will be determined in early 2027 following the conclusion of the three-year performance cycle.

Free cash flow is derived from Viatris’ audited financial statements in the same manner as Viatris’ publicly reported free cash flow, except that the calculation for the 2022-2024 three-year PRSUs utilized budgeted foreign exchange rates for the relevant year and further adjusts for the following, as applicable: transaction costs and taxes related to the acquisitions of Oyster Point Pharma, Inc. (“Oyster Point”) and Famy Life Sciences Private Limited (“Famy Life Sciences”) as well as any incremental transaction costs and taxes related to other select assets sales or reshaping initiatives and other impacts of divestitures, Biocon Biologics Transaction-related taxes and transaction costs and results of the divested biosimilars business from the closing of the transaction on November 29, 2022 through December 31, 2022, material unplanned litigation gains or losses equal to or greater than $25 million in the aggregate, proceeds from the sale of certain property, plant and equipment, unbudgeted R&D costs, unbudgeted restructuring costs, and the impact of free cash flow from divestitures that closed in 2022 to 2024. Free cash flow for the 2022-2024 three-year PRSUs is the sum of such free cash flow measure for each of the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024. Viatris’ free cash flow as reported for each of the three years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024 is reconciled to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure in Appendix B.

Compensation Governance and Policies

Governance and Other Considerations Impacting Viatris Compensation Decisions

The Compensation Committee and Board proactively consider external governance-related developments and trends relating to executive compensation. In setting or approving executive compensation, the Compensation Committee and Board may consider, in addition to any corporate goals and objectives applicable to an individual executive, some or all of the following: recognition of individual performance and contributions; pay for performance; alignment with long-term shareholder interests; advancement of Company strategic goals; maintenance of an appropriate level of fixed and at-risk compensation; remaining competitive with companies within the Company’s peer group; competition for executive talent; internal pay equity; leadership and mentoring skills and contributions; talent management; contributions to establishment or execution of corporate strategy; retention; compliance with applicable law and the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Company policy; and/or any other factors determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee to be in the interests of the Company.

52 | 2025 Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 Compensation Discussion and Analysis 

The Compensation Committee and Board believe that each company must independently assess which market practices and trends are appropriate for the company at any particular time in the company’s history and remain fully committed to maintaining a strong compensation governance philosophy that is aligned with shareholder interests and best practices. See also page 47.

Commitment to Responsible, Shareholder-Aligned Compensation Governance Practices

The following table summarizes certain specific compensation-related governance practices adopted by the Compensation Committee and Board with respect to 2024 compensation. We note that implementation of many of these practices was responsive to comments from shareholders or otherwise endorsed by shareholders during our robust shareholder engagement program or prior Say-on-Pay votes.

	What We Do
				Maintain a significant portion of compensation aligned with shareholder interests and tied to share price or financial and operational business performance.
				Employ metrics for annual and long-term incentives that support both short- and long-term strategies and align with shareholder interests, including a non-financial metric in the annual program tied to important product development initiatives.
				Base long-term incentives heavily on performance-based metrics and short-term incentives entirely on performance-based metrics.
				Set rigorous and measurable performance goals and periodically review and discuss our executives’ performance.
				Use double-trigger vesting for annual long-term incentive awards upon a change in control.
				Retain independent compensation consultants that report directly to the Compensation Committee.
				Maintain strong share ownership guidelines.
				Maintain a robust clawback policy.
				Engage with shareholders on compensation and governance matters.
				Consider peer groups and market data in determining compensation.
				Annual Say-on-Pay vote.

	What We Don’t Do
				New fixed-term NEO employment agreements.
				Excise tax gross-ups.
				Supplemental retirement agreements.
				Exercise positive discretion in determining annual incentive compensation or LTI payouts.
				Re-pricing of stock options without shareholder approval.
				Hedging or pledging of shares.
				New cash-based retention awards for NEOs without performance vesting conditions except in extraordinary situations or in connection with new hires.

Limited Perquisites

We provide certain limited perquisites to our NEOs, including the following:

• Each NEO receives a car allowance and payment of certain ancillary expenses. The NEOs are responsible for paying any taxes incurred relating to this perquisite.

• Our NEOs take an extraordinarily active approach to overseeing and managing Viatris’ global operations, which necessitates and will continue to necessitate a significant amount of U.S. domestic and international travel time due to our diverse business

centers, manufacturing and other facilities, and many client and vendor locations around the world. Viatris provides management with access to corporate aircraft to assist in the management of Viatris’ global platform by providing a more efficient and secure traveling environment, including where sensitive business issues may be discussed or reviewed, as well as maximum flexibility to our executives in the conduct of business. For reasons of business efficiency and continued security-related concerns (including personal security, especially given the global nature of Viatris’ business, as well as privacy of business information and communications), we also may from time to time require certain executives to use corporate aircraft for business and personal purposes.

• Because of continued security-related concerns, we may from time-to-time provide certain NEOs with personal security.

401(k) Restoration Plan

The Restoration Plan permits employees (including NEOs) who earn compensation in excess of the limits imposed by Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) to (i) defer a portion of base salary and bonus compensation, (ii) be credited with a Company matching contribution in respect of deferrals under the Restoration Plan, and (iii) be credited with Company non-elective contributions (to the extent made by Viatris), in each case, to the extent that participants otherwise would be able to defer or be credited with such amounts, as applicable, under Viatris’ 401(k) plan if not for the limits on contributions and deferrals imposed by the Code. Company matching contributions immediately vest and Company non-elective contributions are subject to an initial three-year vesting period. Upon a change in control (as defined in the Restoration Plan), a participant will become 100% vested in any unvested portion of his or her non-elective contributions. Distributions of such participant’s vested account balance will be made in a lump sum within 60 days following a participant’s separation from service (or such later date as may be required by Section 409A of the Code).

2024 Share Ownership Requirements

Viatris maintains robust share ownership requirements for our NEOs. The requirement is expressed as a multiple of base salary and shown in the table below.

	Position			Ownership Requirement
	Chief Executive Officer			6x
	Chief Financial Officer			3x
	Other NEOs			3x

In addition to the NEOs, the Viatris share ownership policy covers the most senior employees at Viatris to promote an ownership culture and further align the interests of those leaders with those of shareholders. Each covered employee has five years from the date they became subject to the policy to achieve the minimum ownership requirement. Common stock actually owned by the covered employee (including shares of common stock held by the covered employee in the Restoration Plan), as well as restricted shares and unvested RSUs (including corresponding “DEUs”) count toward compliance with these requirements. The Company believes that this approach is appropriate given the robust requirements set and the fact that the realized value of vested awards has been less than grant date values in the past. All NEOs meet these share ownership requirements or are expected to meet them by the applicable date.

As noted above, during 2025, our Compensation Committee strengthened our required executive share ownership guidelines by no longer counting unvested PRSUs and corresponding dividend equivalent units toward ownership thresholds.

Clawback Policy

The Board has approved a clawback policy relating to incentive compensation programs. The policy provides that Viatris may take action to recoup annual incentive compensation and equity-based incentive compensation gains resulting from specified misconduct.

54 | 2025 Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 Compensation Discussion and Analysis 

The policy also provides that Viatris may take action to recoup some or all bonus and equity incentive compensation in the event of executive misconduct involving material violations of law or Viatris policy as well as failure to manage or monitor another individual who committed such misconduct, and that the Board or a designated Board committee will disclose the circumstances of any recoupment relating to such misconduct if required by law or regulation or if it determines that disclosure is in the best interests of Viatris and its shareholders.

In addition, Viatris has a number of other policies in effect that govern our executive team’s behavior and that set out clear ethical expectations. Those policies, including our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, empower Viatris to take a full range of disciplinary responses for any violations, and the Board and the Compensation Committee are not otherwise constrained from seeking to clawback from or deny compensation to any member of the executive team in response to any breach of duties or ethics. The Board considers additional updates to the clawback policy from time to time.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, we also adopted a clawback policy as required by the final Dodd-Frank rules and exchange listing standards. Our policy requires recoupment of excess compensation paid to our executive officers if amounts are based on material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement that causes an accounting restatement, without regard to any fault or misconduct.

Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy

Viatris has a securities trading policy that prohibits Directors and “officers” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) (“Section 16 Officers”) and their respective designees from trading in hedging instruments or otherwise engaging in any transaction that limits or eliminates, or is designed to limit or eliminate, economic risks associated with the ownership of our securities. Hedging instruments are defined as any prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, exchange funds, insurance contracts, short sales, options, puts, calls, or other instruments that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, movements in the market value of our securities. For purposes of this policy, our securities include shares and options to purchase shares, and any other type of securities that we may issue, including but not limited to, preferred shares, notes, debentures, and warrants issued by Viatris or any parent, subsidiary, or subsidiary of any parent of Viatris, as well as any derivative financial instruments pertaining to such securities, whether or not issued by the Company, such as options and forward contracts.

The policy also prohibits Directors and Section 16 Officers and their respective designees from entering into any transaction that involves the holding of our securities in a margin account (other than the “cashless exercise” of stock options) or the pledging of our securities as collateral for loans. The Compensation Committee may approve exceptions to the prohibition on the use of margin accounts or pledging or securities if, among other factors, the Director or Section 16 Officer demonstrates, in advance, that he or she has the continuing financial capacity to repay any underlying loan or potential margin call without resorting to our securities held in such margin account or our pledged securities and is not in possession of any material information about the Company that has not been made widely available to the investing public.

Consideration of Risk in Company Compensation Policies

The Compensation Committee has considered risk management in determining compensation policies and believes that our programs are designed appropriately to encourage outstanding, consistent, sustainable business performance over extended periods of time. Management and the Compensation Committee have considered and discussed the risks inherent in our business and the design of our compensation plans, policies, and programs that are intended to drive the achievement of our long-term business objectives while avoiding excessive short-term risk-taking. In addition, we utilize a mix of objective performance measures, so that undue emphasis is not placed on one particular measure, and we employ different types of compensation to provide value over the short-, medium-, and long-term. These performance measures are reevaluated annually in light of the evolving risk environment facing our business. When making compensation decisions, we also consider qualitative factors to avoid the consequences that an overly formulaic approach may have on excessive risk-taking by management. At least annually, the Compensation Committee also receives and discusses a report from Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC (“Meridian”), its independent compensation consultant, on risk management in connection with the Company’s compensation program.

2025 Proxy Statement | 55

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 Compensation Discussion and Analysis 

The Compensation Committee believes that our compensation policies and practices do not encourage excessive risk and are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Role of the Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee is comprised solely of independent Directors and oversees the design and implementation of our executive compensation programs. The Compensation Committee reviews and evaluates the performance of our NEOs and determines their compensation and objectives, or, in the case of our CEO, recommends compensation and objectives to the independent, non-executive members of the Board. The Compensation Committee monitors compensation trends and developments periodically and undertakes a comprehensive assessment of our compensation programs at least annually. In fulfilling these responsibilities, the Compensation Committee utilizes the support of independent compensation consulting firms, independent outside counsel, and an internal executive compensation team.

The Compensation Committee has retained Meridian to provide advice and information regarding the design and implementation of Viatris’ executive compensation programs. Meridian also provided information to the Compensation Committee regarding regulatory and other technical developments that may be relevant to our executive compensation programs. In addition, Meridian provided the Compensation Committee with competitive market information, analyses and trends on executive base salary, annual incentives, long-term incentives, benefits and perquisites.

The Compensation Committee also receives advice from outside counsel including, but not limited to, Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP.

The Compensation Committee performs an annual review of the independence of its outside advisors, consistent with NASDAQ requirements and the Compensation Committee charter.

Tax Deduction Cap on Executive Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Code restricts the deductibility for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the compensation paid to the CEO, CFO, each of the other NEOs who was an executive officer at the end of the applicable fiscal year, and certain other executives to the extent that such compensation for such executive exceeds $1 million. As a result, except to the extent provided in limited transition relief, compensation over $1 million paid to any NEO is no longer deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code. The Board and the Compensation Committee reserve the right to provide compensation to our executives that is not deductible, including, but not limited to, when necessary to comply with contractual commitments, or to maintain the flexibility needed to attract talent, promote retention, or recognize and reward desired performance.

Insider Trading Policies and Procedures

We have adopted a Global Insider Trading Policy and Insider Trading Policy Additional Procedures governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by our directors, officers, and employees, as well as by Viatris itself, that we believe are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and listing standards applicable to us.

Equity Award Grant Practices

Our longstanding historical practice is to grant awards in the first quarter of each year, following the release of prior year’s financial results. We do not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing or terms of awards, and do not currently grant stock options or stock appreciation rights.

Represents the base salary actually paid to the NEO in 2024, 2023, and 2022. For Dr. Le Goff, the amount reflects salary received commencing with her April 15, 2024 hire date. For Mr. Narula, the amount reflects salary received up until his last day of employment, which was March 5, 2024.

2
In connection with the hire date for Ms. Mistras, she received a cash sign-on bonus in the amount of $500,000. In connection with the Combination in 2020, Mr. Campbell was granted a retention bonus (equal to $1,500,000), which became payable in 2024 upon the four-year anniversary of the Combination, subject to Mr. Campbell's continued employment through such date. In connection with the successful completion of the divestiture of our OTC Business, Mr. Campbell was also granted a bonus (equal to $250,000), which became payable in 2024. Consistent with our engagement with shareholders, the Compensation Committee has determined that it does not intend to issue new cash-based retention awards for NEOs except in extraordinary situations where such awards will have a performance-based component with meaningful vesting requirements or in connection with new hires.

3
Represents the grant date fair value of the long-term incentive awards granted to the NEO in 2024, 2023, and 2022, as applicable. The grant date fair value of PRSUs for 2024 is based on the target value and is as follows: Smith ($6,370,010), Mistras ($2,145,004), Le Goff ($2,275,007), Campbell ($1,178,130), and Roman ($1,608,753). If the maximum achievement of performance goals had been assumed, the grant date fair value of the PRSUs for 2024 would have been as follows: Smith ($12,421,528), Mistras ($4,182,760), Le Goff ($4,436,268), Campbell ($2,297,366), and Roman ($3,137,079). Mr. Narula did not receive a 2024 long-term incentive award grant in 2024. The amount reported reflects the accounting incremental fair value of a prorated portion of the PRSUs awarded to him in 2022 resulting from their modification under his separation agreement to provide for continued vesting. For information regarding assumptions used in determining the expense of such awards, please refer to Note 13 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Form 10-K.

The values for 2024 represent a vehicle allowance. In addition to the vehicle allowance, there were ancillary expenses associated with such vehicle for Mr. Smith in 2023 and for Mr. Narula in 2022.

b
Amounts disclosed represent the actual aggregate incremental costs associated with the personal use of corporate 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
For 2024, amount disclosed represents the tax equalization, gross up, and tax preparation of $94,457. For 2023, amount disclosed represents the tax equalization, gross up, and tax preparation of $175,942. For 2022, amount disclosed includes the value of certain one-time, non-recurring expatriate, repatriation, and relocation benefits of $4,756.

Estimated Payments in Connection with a Termination of Employment or Change in Control

The following discussion summarizes the potential payments and benefits that would have been payable to each of the NEOs upon a termination of employment on December 31, 2024 by Viatris without “cause”, by the NEO for “good reason” (each as defined in the applicable agreement), due to the NEO’s death or disability or as a result of a CIC Termination. A “CIC Termination” occurs if an NEO’s employment is terminated other than for cause or if he or she terminates employment for good reason, in each case, within two years following the occurrence of a change in control. The amounts discussed below exclude (i) 401(k) retirement plan contributions and distributions that are generally available to all salaried employees, (ii) payments pursuant to vested Restoration Plan balances, (iii) payments pursuant to awards scheduled to vest on or before December 31, 2024 by their terms, (iv) any amounts that may be due at the time of an event in respect of accrued and unpaid salary, bonuses, or vacation, and (v) the value of each NEO’s annual bonus for the 2024 completed fiscal year as the year was complete as of December 31, 2024. These are estimates only and actual amounts payable upon such terminations may be different and will only be determined upon the actual occurrence of any such event.

Scott A. Smith

Mr. Smith is entitled to severance payments and benefits upon certain terminations of employment pursuant to an offer letter with Viatris and his equity award agreements with Viatris.

Termination Without Cause Absent a Change in Control. If Mr. Smith's employment was terminated on December 31, 2024 by Viatris without cause, he would have been entitled to a payment equal to two times the sum of his base salary and his target annual bonus in effect at the time of such termination, payable in equal installments, and eligibility for continued vesting of a prorated number of his PRSUs granted in 2023 and 2024 based on actual Company performance. The estimated values of such payments and benefits, assuming a December 31, 2024 termination of employment, would have been $7,000,000, in respect of cash severance, and $9,013,427, in respect of the vesting of his PRSUs granted in 2023 and 2024 (assuming target performance).

Termination due to Death or Disability Absent a Change in Control. If Mr. Smith's employment was terminated on December 31, 2024 due to death or disability, he would have been entitled to full vesting of his unvested non-qualified deferred compensation account balance ($49,659) and full vesting of his unvested equity awards, with any PRSUs vesting based on target performance. The estimated value of such equity vesting, assuming a December 31, 2024 termination, would have been $24,119,012. Mr. Smith is not entitled to cash severance payments in connection with a termination of employment due to death or disability.

Termination in Connection with a Change in Control. If Mr. Smith incurred a CIC Termination on December 31, 2024, he would have been entitled to a payment equal to two and a half times the sum of his base salary and his target annual bonus in effect at the time of such termination, payable in equal installments, full vesting of his unvested non-qualified deferred compensation account balance, and full vesting of his equity awards, with any PRSUs vesting based on target performance. The estimated values of such payments and benefits, assuming a December 31, 2024 termination of employment, would have been $8,750,000, in respect of cash severance, $49,659, in respect of the vesting of his non-qualified deferred compensation, and $24,119,012, in respect of the vesting of his equity awards.

Severance Plan and Global Guidelines (which had been assumed by Viatris) (the “Mylan Severance Plan”).

The estimated values of such payments, assuming a December 31, 2024 termination of employment, would have been $792,922, in respect of cash severance and other benefits, and $1,307,076, in respect of the vesting of his PRSUs granted in 2023 and 2024 (assuming target performance).

Termination due to Death or Disability Absent a Change in Control. If Mr. Campbell’s employment was terminated on December 31, 2024 due to death or disability, he would have been entitled to full vesting of his unvested equity awards, with any PRSUs vesting based on target performance. The estimated values of such equity vesting, assuming a December 31, 2024 termination, would have been $5,383,841. Mr. Campbell is not entitled to cash severance payments in connection with a termination of employment due to death or disability.

Termination in Connection with a Change in Control. If Mr. Campbell incurred a CIC Termination on December 31, 2024, it is assumed for illustrative purposes that he would have received a payment equal to two times the sum of his base salary and his target annual bonus in effect at the time of such termination, payable in equal installments, twenty-four months of continued health and other benefits, and full vesting of his unvested equity awards, with any PRSUs vesting based on target performance. The estimated values of such payments and benefits, assuming a December 31, 2024 CIC Termination, would have been $2,998,635, in respect of cash severance and other benefits, and $5,383,841, in respect of the vesting of his equity awards.

Brian Roman

Mr. Roman is entitled to the equity award treatment established by his equity award agreements with Viatris upon certain terminations of employment. For illustrative purposes it has been assumed that he would be provided with payments and benefits consistent with the retired Mylan Severance Plan.

Termination due to Death or Disability Absent a Change in Control. If Mr. Roman's employment was terminated on December 31, 2024 due to death or disability, he would have been entitled to full vesting of his unvested equity awards, with any PRSUs vesting based on target performance. The estimated values of such equity vesting, assuming a December 31, 2024 termination, would have been $5,918,655. Mr. Roman is not entitled to cash severance payments in connection with a termination of employment due to death or disability.

Sanjeev Narula

On December 15, 2023, Mr. Narula entered into a separation agreement with Viatris pursuant to which he departed from the Company effective as of March 5, 2024. Mr. Narula's separation agreement provided for a cash payment equal to $3,700,000 payable in the form of installments over a period of two (2) years, a prorated annual bonus for 2024 based on actual Company performance (which was paid to him in the amount of $229,986), eligibility for continued vesting of a prorated number of PRSUs granted in each of 2022 and 2023 based on actual Company performance, reimbursement and allowances with respect to

reasonable relocation-related expenses, and up to thirty-six months of continued health and other benefits, subject to a release of claims and other customary conditions. Mr. Narula ultimately received five months of continued health and other benefits and tax preparation assistance for 2024, valued in the aggregate at $13,655.

CEO Pay Ratio

Pursuant to Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K (“Item 402(u)”), we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our global employee population and the annual total compensation of our CEO, Scott A. Smith, for 2024. The pay ratio included in this information is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u).

Further to this requirement, under Instruction 2 to Item 402(u), the median-paid employee may be identified once every three years if there is no impact to the pay ratio disclosure. In light of the changes in our employee population from the addition of 199 employees in connection with the completion of the acquisitions of Oyster Point and Famy Life Sciences in 2023, a new employee representing the median-paid employee has been selected for 2024. We chose base salary as our consistently applied compensation measure. We then calculated an annual base salary for each employee, annualizing pay for those employees who commenced work during 2024 and for any employees who were on leave for a portion of 2024. We collected the 2024 annual total compensation for the median employee using the same methodology we use for our NEOs as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table on page 58.

Total annual compensation for the median employee was $48,598 and is calculated according to the disclosure requirements of Item 402(u) and includes base salary, annual incentive, equity awards, change in pension values, and other compensation such as perquisites and medical benefits. The ratio of Mr. Smith's annual total compensation for 2024, which was $14,759,379 as reported in the Summary Compensation Table on page 58, along with the cost of employer-provided medical benefits ($22,413) to the median employee annual total compensation determined on the same basis was 304 to 1.

Our median employee is located in India, which reflects the true global nature of our organization and the fact that we are a diversified company within our peer group whose employees participate in all aspects of bringing our products to market, from R&D to manufacturing. This diversification should be considered by readers who would compare our CEO Pay Ratio to those within our peer or industry group and reflects differences in pay demographics among those groups. Pay ratios may not be comparable because of different employee populations, geographic distribution of employees, and compensation practices and companies may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates, and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

The amounts included in this column represent the total of the amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” column in the Summary Compensation Table on page 58.

The equity award adjustments for each applicable year include the addition (or subtraction, as applicable) of the following: (i) the year-end fair value of any equity awards granted in the applicable year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the year; (ii) the amount of change as of the end of the applicable year (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in the fair value of any awards granted in prior years that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the applicable year; (iii) for awards that are granted and vest in same applicable year, the fair value as of the vesting date; (iv) for awards granted in prior years that vest in the applicable year, the amount equal to the change as of the vesting date (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in the fair value; (v) for awards granted in prior years that are

determined to fail to meet the applicable vesting conditions during the applicable year, a deduction for the amount equal to the fair value at the end of the prior fiscal year; and (vi) the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid on stock or option awards in the applicable year prior to the vesting date that are not otherwise reflected in the fair value of such award or included in any other component of total compensation for the applicable year. The valuation assumptions used to calculate fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant. The amounts deducted or added in calculating the equity award adjustments are as follows:

Cumulative TSR is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between the Company’s share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period.

5
The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the Dow Jones U.S. Pharmaceuticals Index, which is also the published industry or line-of-business index we utilized in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in the Form 10-K. Viatris common stock has been listed on the NASDAQ under the symbol “VTRS” since November 17, 2020. Prior to that time, there was no public market for our common stock. Upon consummation of the Combination, Pfizer stockholders received approximately 0.124079 shares of Viatris common stock for every one share of Pfizer common stock held as of the close of business on the record date (which was November 13, 2020). Former Mylan ordinary shareholders received one share of Viatris common stock for every one share of Mylan ordinary share held. The comparison assumes $100 was invested in Company stock and in the Dow Jones U.S. Pharmaceuticals Index, in each case for the period starting November 16, 2020 (with the reinvestment of all dividends) through the end of the listed year. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.

6
The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net earnings (loss) reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year.

7
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations, Mylan is considered the accounting acquirer of the Upjohn business and all historical financial information of the Company prior to November 16, 2020 represents Mylan’s historical results and the Company’s thereafter.

8
We determined Free Cash Flow (as reported) to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEOs and non-PEO NEOs in 2024. Free Cash Flow (as reported) refers to U.S. GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. We may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.

9
Beginning in 2024, upfront and milestone payments related to externally developed IPR&D projects acquired directly in a transaction other than a business combination, which were previously included in cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows, are now classified as cash flows from investing activities. Certain reclassifications were made to conform the prior period consolidated financial statements to the current period presentation. The adjustments resulted in an increase to net cash provided by operating activities and an increase to net cash used in investing activities of $100 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, and in an increase to net cash provided by operating activities and a decrease to net cash provided by investing activities of $46 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 3

Ratification of the Selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2025

The Audit Committee has appointed Deloitte as Viatris’ independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 and has further directed that the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm be submitted to shareholders for ratification at the 2025 Annual Meeting.

Representatives of Deloitte are expected to be in attendance at the 2025 Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire.

While shareholder ratification of the selection of Deloitte is not required by the Company’s Bylaws or other governing documents or law, the Board is submitting the selection of Deloitte to our shareholders for ratification as the Board believes it is a matter of good corporate governance. If shareholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain Deloitte. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the selection of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Board Recommendation

Viatris’ Board recommends a vote “FOR” ratification of the selection of Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

Report of the Audit Committee of Viatris’ Board

The following Report of the Audit Committee of the 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 Exchange Act except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates such information by reference.

August 14, 2025

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 Securities and Exchange Commission (“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 Viatris Inc.’s (the “Company”) website at https://www.viatris.com/-/media/project/common/viatris/pdf/corporate-governance/audit-committee-charter.pdf.

Management is responsible for the preparation and integrity of the Company’s 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 Company’s financial statements and auditing the Company’s 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 Committee’s responsibilities is to oversee these processes.

In this context, the Audit Committee met a total of seven (7) times in 2024 and eight (8) times in 2025 as of August 14, 2025, and has reviewed and discussed with management, including Viatris’ internal auditor, and with the independent auditor, Viatris’ audited consolidated financial statements and its internal control over financial reporting. These discussions covered the quality, as well as the acceptability, of Viatris’ financial reporting practices and the completeness and clarity of the related financial disclosures as well as the effectiveness of Viatris’ internal control over financial reporting and its disclosure controls and procedures. Management represented to the Audit Committee that Viatris’ 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 auditors the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the SEC.

Viatris’ independent auditor also provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures and letter required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB’s Rule 3526 regarding the independent auditor’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning the independent auditor’s independence, and the Audit Committee discussed these matters with the independent auditor. The Audit Committee has also considered whether the independent auditor’s provision of non-audit services to Viatris is compatible with the firm’s independence. Deloitte & Touche LLP, Viatris’ 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 Viatris’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2024, which was filed with the SEC.

Appendix A — Questions and Answers

The following questions and answers are intended to address questions that you, as a shareholder of Viatris, may have regarding the 2025 Annual Meeting and provide information with respect to the 2025 Annual Meeting, proxy materials and voting. Viatris urges you to carefully read this entire Proxy Statement in addition to these questions and answers.

Q:
What is this Proxy Statement, and why is it important?

A:
This Proxy Statement is part of a solicitation of proxies by Viatris’ Board for use at the 2025 Annual Meeting and provides Viatris’ shareholders and beneficial owners of shares of Viatris common stock as of the close of business (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on October 10, 2025 (the “Record Date”) with information relating to their decisions to vote, grant a proxy to vote, attend and, if relevant, instruct their vote to be cast at the 2025 Annual Meeting. As such, this Proxy Statement contains important information about the 2025 Annual Meeting and the matters to be voted on at such meeting; you should read it carefully and in its entirety.

Q:
Why did I receive a notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?

A:
In accordance with rules adopted by the SEC, we may furnish proxy materials to our shareholders by providing access to such documents on the Internet instead of mailing printed copies. This approach conserves natural resources and reduces our distribution costs, while providing a timely and convenient method of accessing the materials and voting. As a result, most shareholders will not receive printed copies of the proxy materials unless they request them. Instead, on or about October 24, 2025 we mailed to Viatris shareholders as of the Record Date a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Internet Notice”) that instructs you as to how you may access and review all of the proxy materials on the Internet. The Internet Notice also instructs you as to how you may submit your proxy on the Internet; however, the Internet Notice is not itself a proxy card and should not be returned with voting instructions. If you would like to receive a paper or email copy of the Company’s proxy materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials in the Internet Notice.

Q:
What is included in the Company’s proxy materials?

A:
The Company’s proxy materials include this Proxy Statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting and the 2024 Annual Report. The 2024 Annual Report is not incorporated into this Proxy Statement and shall not be deemed to be solicitation materials. If you received the Internet Notice, voting instructions can be found in the Internet Notice. If you received a paper copy of these materials, the proxy materials also included the accompanying proxy card or voting instruction form, as applicable, for the 2025 Annual Meeting. For detailed information on voting, see the questions below entitled, “How do I vote if I was a registered shareholder of Viatris as of the Record Date?” or “How do I vote if I am a beneficial owner of shares of Viatris common stock and hold them in street name?”, as appropriate, as well as the Notice of 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders in this Proxy Statement.

Q:
How can I access the proxy materials over the Internet?

A:
The Internet Notice, proxy card, or voting instruction form will contain instructions on how to view the Company’s proxy materials on the Internet and vote your shares. Our proxy materials are also available on the Company’s website at investor.viatris.com.

Q:
What is the purpose of the 2025 Annual Meeting?

A:
The 2025 Annual Meeting is being held for Viatris shareholders to vote on the following items:

1.
To elect 13 Director nominees, each to hold office until the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders

2.
To approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the 2024 compensation of the NEOs of the Company (the Say-on-Pay vote)

Persons attending the 2025 Annual Meeting will not be permitted to use cameras, recording devices and other similar electronic devices during the meeting. In addition, attendees may be subject to additional requirements prior to entry to the meeting – see the question below entitled “How can I attend the 2025 Annual Meeting?”.

Q:
How does Viatris’ Board recommend I vote?

A:
Viatris’ Board unanimously recommends that the Company’s shareholders vote “FOR” the election of each Director nominee; “FOR” approval, on an advisory basis, of the 2024 compensation of the NEOs of the Company; and “FOR” ratification of the selection of Deloitte as Viatris’ independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

Q:
How can I attend the 2025 Annual Meeting?

A:
If you wish to attend the 2025 Annual Meeting in person, please so inform Viatris in writing by sending notice to the attention of Viatris’ Corporate Secretary at 1000 Mylan Blvd., Canonsburg, PA 15317 (the “Corporate Address”) or by e-mail to corporatesecretary@viatris.com, in each case prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on December 4, 2025.

Beneficial owners of Viatris common stock that are held through a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee (“street name”) may not vote the underlying shares of common stock at the 2025 Annual Meeting unless they first obtain (where appropriate, through the relevant broker, bank, trust company or other nominee) a signed proxy card from the relevant registered shareholder (as defined in the following Question and Answer) of the underlying shares on the Record Date. In addition, beneficial owners of Viatris common stock 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.

Proper identification, such as a valid driver’s license or passport, along with your notice of the meeting, must be presented at the meeting.

Failure to comply with such notification and identification requirements may result in not being admitted to the meeting.

Q:
Who is entitled to vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting and how many votes do they have?

A:
Holders of Viatris common stock as of the Record Date are entitled to vote their shares at the 2025 Annual Meeting. If your shares are registered in your name with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, you are the “registered shareholder” of those shares. Registered shareholders as of the Record Date may attend the 2025 Annual Meeting and, if relevant, vote in person or authorize a third party to attend and, if relevant, vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting on their behalf through use of a proxy card. If you are a beneficial owner of Viatris common stock and hold your shares in street name, the relevant institution will send you instructions describing the procedure for instructing the institution how to vote the shares of Viatris common stock you beneficially own.

If you wish to vote the shares of Viatris common stock you beneficially own directly either in person at the 2025 Annual Meeting or by proxy, you first must obtain a signed “legal proxy” from the bank, broker, trust company or other nominee through which you beneficially own your shares of Viatris common stock.

 Appendix A — Questions and Answers  

As of the close of business (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on October 10, 2025, there were 1,156,584,735 shares of Viatris common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of Viatris common stock, which is Viatris’ only outstanding voting security, is entitled to one vote on each matter properly brought before the 2025 Annual Meeting. Shareholders do not have cumulative voting rights.

Q:
What vote is required to elect Directors and adopt each of the other proposals discussed in this Proxy Statement?

A:
If a quorum exists at the 2025 Annual Meeting, shareholders shall have approved:

• the election of a Director if a majority of the votes cast are in favor of such election. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a majority of votes cast means that the number of shares voted “for” a Director’s election exceeds 50% of the number of votes cast with respect to that Director’s election. Votes cast include any votes against that Director’s election and any direction to withhold authority in each case and exclude abstentions and broker non-votes (as defined below) with respect to that Director’s election. If a nominee for Director who is an incumbent Director is not elected and no successor has been elected at such meeting, the Director must promptly tender their irrevocable resignation to the Board in accordance with our Bylaws (Please see “How Our Board Governs and Is Governed – Viatris’ Board Structure” beginning on page 23).

• the Say-on-Pay vote and ratification of the selection of Deloitte as Viatris’ independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, if, in each case, a majority of votes cast on such matter by shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on such matter are in favor of such matter. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a majority of votes cast means that the number of shares voted “for” a matter exceeds 50% of the number of votes cast with respect to that matter. Votes cast include votes against the matter and exclude abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to these matters.

Q:
What constitutes a quorum?

A:
The holders of stock representing a majority of the voting power of all shares of stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, constitutes a quorum. Broker non-votes and abstentions will be considered for purposes of establishing a quorum.

Q:
How do I vote if I was a registered shareholder of Viatris as of the Record Date?

A:
If you were a registered shareholder as of the Record Date, the Internet Notice has been sent directly to you.

If you were a registered shareholder as of the Record Date, plan to attend the 2025 Annual Meeting and wish to vote in person, you will be given a ballot at the 2025 Annual Meeting. In addition, if you plan to attend the 2025 Annual Meeting, please be prepared to provide proper identification, such as a valid driver’s license or passport.

If you were a registered shareholder as of the Record Date and do not plan to attend the 2025 Annual Meeting in person, you may cast your vote no later than December 4, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time (the “Cut-Off Time”) by Internet by following the instructions provided in the Internet Notice or, if you requested to receive printed proxy materials, you can also vote by telephone or mail pursuant to the instructions provided on the proxy card. Viatris requests that you promptly submit your proxy.

See the Internet Notice and Notice of 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders above for additional information about how to vote.

If you were a registered shareholder as of the Record Date and you vote by proxy, the individuals named as proxy holders will vote your shares of Viatris common stock in the manner you indicate. All shares of Viatris common stock represented by properly executed proxies received no later than the Cut-Off Time will be voted at the meeting in the manner specified by the Viatris shareholder giving those proxies.

common stock represented are to be voted with respect to one or more items (and without expressly indicating to abstain), the shares of Viatris common stock represented by the proxy will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the Viatris Board, as described in the Proxy Statement.

Q:
How do I vote if I am a participant in the Mylan Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan or the Viatris Pharmaceuticals LLC Profit Sharing Employee Savings Plan (formerly the Pfizer Pharmaceuticals LLC Profit Sharing Employee Savings Plan), and continue to hold shares of Viatris common stock in my plan account?

A:
Participants in the Mylan Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan or the Viatris Pharmaceuticals LLC Profit Sharing Employee Savings Plan and who continue to hold Viatris common stock in their plan accounts will receive voting instructions for their shares of Viatris common stock held in those plans. In order to have the trustee vote your shares as you direct, you must timely furnish your voting instructions. To allow sufficient time for voting by the relevant trustees, your voting instructions must be received by December 3, 2025 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time.

Q:
How do I vote if I am a beneficial owner of shares of Viatris common stock and hold them in street name?

A:
If you are a beneficial owner of Viatris common stock and hold your shares in street name, you may also vote through a voting instruction form over the Internet by following the instructions provided in the Internet Notice or, if you requested to receive printed proxy materials, the relevant institution will send you instructions describing the procedure for instructing the institution how to vote the shares of Viatris common stock you beneficially own. Please comply with the deadlines included in the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee.

If you are a beneficial owner of Viatris common stock and hold your shares in street name, plan to attend the 2025 Annual Meeting, and wish to vote in person, you will be given a ballot at the 2025 Annual Meeting. Please note, however, that you must bring to the 2025 Annual Meeting a legal proxy executed in your favor from the registered shareholder of the underlying shares on the Record Date (through your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee) authorizing you to vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting. You must also provide proof of ownership, such as a recent account statement or letter from your brokerage firm, bank nominee or other institution proving ownership on the Record Date. In addition, if you plan to attend the 2025 Annual Meeting, please be prepared to provide proper identification, such as a valid driver’s license or passport.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares of Viatris common stock and hold your shares in street name, see “If my shares are held in street name by my broker, will my broker automatically vote my shares for me?” below for more information on giving instructions to your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee.

See the Internet Notice and Notice of 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders above for additional information about how to vote.

Q:
If my shares are held in street name by my broker, will my broker automatically vote my shares for me?

A:
If you are a beneficial owner of Viatris common stock and 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. All of the items to be voted on at the 2025 Annual Meeting other than the ratification of the selection of Deloitte as Viatris’ independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2025 are considered non-routine matters. You should instruct your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee as to how to vote your shares of Viatris common stock, 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, (i) your shares will not be voted on any proposal on which the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote (a so-called “broker non-vote”) but (ii) the broker, bank, trust company or other nominee will nevertheless be entitled to vote your shares of common stock in its discretion on routine matters and may give or authorize the giving of a proxy to vote such shares in its discretion on such matters.

 Appendix A — Questions and Answers  

As discussed above, beneficial owners of Viatris common stock held through a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee may not vote the underlying shares at the 2025 Annual Meeting unless they first obtain (where appropriate, through the relevant broker, bank, trust company or other nominee) a signed proxy card from the relevant registered shareholder on the Record Date of the underlying shares of common stock.

Q:
May I change my vote or revoke my proxy or voting instructions after I have voted?

A:
Yes. If you are a registered shareholder, you may change your vote of your shares of Viatris common stock or revoke your proxy at any time prior to the Cut-Off Time. You can do this by submitting a new proxy at a later date (but prior to the Cut-Off Time) via the Internet, by telephone, or by mail following the instructions provided in the Internet Notice or, if requested, the proxy card. Alternatively, you may give notice of your attendance at the 2025 Annual Meeting (prior to the Cut-Off Time in the manner described above) and vote in person. You may also revoke your proxy by sending a written statement prior to the Cut-Off Time revoking your proxy to Viatris’ Corporate Address to the attention of Viatris’ Corporate Secretary.

If your shares are held through and/or in street name by your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee, you should contact your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee to change your vote or revoke your voting instructions.

Q:
What happens if I transfer my shares of Viatris common stock before the 2025 Annual Meeting?

A:
The Record Date for the 2025 Annual Meeting is earlier than the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting. If you transfer your shares of Viatris common stock after the Record Date, you will retain your right to attend and vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting.

Q:
Who tabulates the votes?

A:
The inspector of election will, among other matters, determine the number of shares represented at the 2025 Annual Meeting to confirm the presence of a quorum, determine the validity of all proxies and ballots and certify the voting results.

Q:
Where can I find the voting results of the 2025 Annual Meeting?

A:
Viatris expects to announce the preliminary voting results at the 2025 Annual Meeting. In addition, within four business days following certification of the final voting results, Viatris intends to report the final voting results in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.

Q:
How are proxies solicited and what is the cost?

A:
Viatris will bear all expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation of proxies, including the costs associated with the filing, printing and publication of the Proxy Statement. Viatris has retained Innisfree M&A Incorporated to assist in its solicitation of proxies and has agreed to pay them a fee of approximately $25,000, plus reasonable expenses, for these services. Viatris will reimburse brokerage firms, bank nominees and other institutions for their costs in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of Viatris common stock. Our Directors, officers and employees, some of whom may be considered participants in the solicitation, may also solicit proxies by mail, telephone or personal contact without additional remuneration.

Q:
What is householding?

A:
We have adopted a procedure called “householding”, which the SEC has approved. Under this procedure, we are sending only one copy of the Internet Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials, to that address unless we have received contrary instructions from any shareholder at that address. This practice is designed to reduce printing and postage costs. However, if any shareholder residing at such an address wishes to receive a separate copy of the Internet Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials, Viatris will promptly deliver, upon oral or written request, a separate copy of the Internet Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials to any shareholder residing at an address to which only one copy was mailed. If you would like to request additional copies of the Internet Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials (or in the future would like to receive

Appendix B

Forward-Looking Statements

This Proxy Statement (including the Shareholder Letters) contains “forward-looking statements”. These statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements about the goals or outlooks with respect to the Company’s strategic initiatives and priorities, including but not limited to divestitures, acquisitions, strategic alliances, collaborations, or other potential transactions; the benefits and synergies of such divestitures, acquisitions, strategic alliances, collaborations, or other transactions, or restructuring programs; future opportunities for the Company and its products; and any other statements regarding the Company’s future operations, financial or operating results, capital allocation, dividend policy and payments, share repurchases, debt ratio and covenants, anticipated business levels, future earnings, planned activities, anticipated growth, market opportunities, strategies, competitions, commitments, confidence in future results, efforts to create, enhance or otherwise unlock value, and other expectations and targets for future periods. Forward-looking statements may often be identified by the use of words such as “will”, “may”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “project”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “plan”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “potential”, “pipeline”, “intend”, “continue”, “target”, “seek” 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:

• the possibility that the Company may not realize the intended benefits of, or achieve the intended goals or outlooks with respect to, its strategic initiatives and priorities (including divestitures, acquisitions, strategic alliances, collaborations, or other potential transactions) or accelerate its growth by building on the strength of its base business with an expanding portfolio of innovative, best-in-class, patent-protected assets;

• the possibility that the Company may be unable to achieve intended or expected benefits, goals, outlooks, synergies, growth opportunities and operating efficiencies in connection with divestitures, acquisitions, strategic alliances, collaborations, or other transactions, or restructuring programs, within the expected timeframes or at all;

• the ongoing risks and uncertainties associated with our recent divestitures;

• goodwill or impairment charges or other losses;

• the Company’s failure to achieve expected or targeted future financial and operating performance and results;

• the potential impact of natural or man-made disasters, public health outbreaks, epidemics, pandemics or social disruption in regions where we or our partners or suppliers operate;

• actions and decisions of healthcare and pharmaceutical regulators;

• changes in relevant laws, regulations and policies and/or the application or implementation thereof, including but not limited to tax, healthcare and pharmaceutical laws, regulations and policies globally;

• the ability to attract, motivate and retain key personnel;

• the Company’s liquidity, capital resources and ability to obtain financing;

• any regulatory, legal or other impediments to the Company’s ability to bring new products to market, including but not limited to “at-risk launches”;

• products in development that receive regulatory approval may not achieve expected levels of market acceptance, efficacy or safety;

• longer review, response and approval times as a result of evolving regulatory priorities and reductions in personnel at health agencies;

• success of clinical trials and the Company’s or its partners’ ability to execute on new product opportunities and develop, manufacture and commercialize products;

• any changes in or difficulties with the Company’s manufacturing facilities, including with respect to inspections, remediation and restructuring activities, supply chain or inventory or the ability to meet anticipated demand;

• the scope, timing and outcome of any ongoing legal proceedings, including government inquiries or investigations, and the impact of any such proceedings on the Company;

• any significant breach of data security or data privacy or disruptions to our IT systems;

• risks associated with having significant operations globally;

• the ability to protect intellectual property and preserve intellectual property rights;

• changes in third-party relationships;

• the effect of any changes in the Company’s or its partners’ customer and supplier relationships and customer purchasing patterns, including customer loss and business disruption being greater than expected following an adverse regulatory action, acquisition or divestiture;

• the impacts of competition, including decreases in sales or revenues as a result of the loss of market exclusivity for certain products;

• changes in the economic and financial conditions of the Company or its partners;

• uncertainties regarding future demand, pricing and reimbursement for the Company’s products;

• uncertainties and matters beyond the control of management, including but not limited to general political and economic conditions, potential for adverse impacts from future tariffs and trade restrictions, inflation rates and global exchange rates; 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 U.S. GAAP and related standards or on an adjusted basis.

For more detailed information on the risks and uncertainties associated with Viatris, see the risks described in Part I, Item 1A in the Form 10-K, and our other filings with the SEC.

You can access Viatris’ filings with the SEC through the SEC website at www.sec.gov or through our website, and Viatris strongly encourages you to do so. Viatris routinely posts information that may be important to investors on our website at investor.viatris.com, and we use this website address as a means of disclosing material information to the public in a broad, non-exclusionary manner for purposes of the SEC’s Regulation Fair Disclosure (Reg FD). The contents of our website are not incorporated by reference in this Proxy Statement and shall not be deemed “filed” under the Exchange Act. Viatris undertakes no obligation to update any statements herein for revisions or changes after the filing date of this Proxy Statement other than as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Proxy Statement (including the Shareholder Letters) includes the presentation and discussion of certain financial information that differs from what is reported under U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, adjusted earnings per share (“EPS”), gross leverage ratio, and long-term gross leverage target and divestiture adjusted operational revenue ex-Indore, are presented in order to supplement investors’ and other readers’ understanding and assessment of Viatris’ financial performance. Management uses these measures internally for forecasting, budgeting, measuring its operating performance, and incentive-based awards. Primarily due to acquisitions, divestitures and other significant events which may impact comparability of our periodic operating results, we believe that an evaluation of our ongoing operations (and comparisons of our current operations with historical and future operations) would be difficult if the disclosure of our financial results was limited to financial measures prepared only in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for our investors and when considered together with our U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our operations. The financial performance of the Company is measured by senior management, in part, using these adjusted metrics, along with other performance metrics. In addition, the Company

B-2 | 2025 Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 Appendix B 

believes that including EBITDA and supplemental adjustments applied in presenting adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors to demonstrate the Company’s ability to comply with financial debt covenants and assess the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness. The Company also believes that adjusted EBITDA better focuses management on the Company’s underlying operational results and true business performance and is used, in part, for management’s incentive compensation. This Appendix B 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 this Appendix B, 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.

Beginning in 2024, upfront and milestone payments related to externally developed IPR&D projects acquired directly in a transaction other than a business combination, which were previously included in cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows, are now classified as cash flows from investing activities. Certain reclassifications were made to conform the prior period consolidated financial statements to the current period presentation. The adjustments resulted in an increase to net cash provided by operating activities of $100 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, and in an increase to net cash provided by operating activities of $46 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. This reclassification has no impact on the three-year free cash flow calculation for incentive compensation purposes as these amounts were previously excluded from the calculation of free cash flow.

Long-term Gross Leverage Target

The stated forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure of long-term gross leverage target of ~3.0x, with a range of 2.8x – 3.2x, is based on the ratio of (i) targeted notional gross debt and (ii) targeted adjusted EBITDA. However, the Company has not quantified future amounts to develop this target but has stated its goal to manage notional gross debt and adjusted EBITDA over time in order to generally maintain or reach the target. This target does not reflect Company guidance.

Gross Leverage Ratio

Viatris’ publicly reported gross leverage ratio (“as reported”) compares adjusted EBITDA (as reported), a reconciliation of which is set forth above, to total debt at notional amounts (as reported), a reconciliation of which is set forth below:

	(in millions except for gross debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio)			Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2024
