Dear Matti:

Congratulations on this offer to join our team! Catalent hires people with a passion to make a difference to the health of millions of people globally. Your expertise, coupled with Catalent’s expertise and capabilities and its collaborations with thousands of innovative pharmaceutical, biotech, and healthcare companies, will help us develop, supply, and deliver billions of doses of life-enhancing products. We take great pride in hiring professionals like you, who have talent, drive, and commitment. We can’t wait to have you join us as we work to advance new medicines for the benefit of patients around the world. We’re confident that you will find your career with Catalent to be filled with opportunities, new challenges, and meaningful work. Attached is important information about our organization and your individual position, rewards, and benefits.

The major provisions of your offer, which is subject to the approval of Catalent’s Board of Directors or its Compensation and Leadership Committee (CLC), are:

Position: Your position will be Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, reporting directly to Alessandro Maselli, President & CEO. You will also be a member of Catalent’s Executive Leadership Team (ELT). The situs of this position is our corporate headquarters in Somerset, New Jersey. While we acknowledge that your primary residence will remain in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, we will expect you to spend at least 50% of your time either in our Somerset offices or traveling on Catalent business.

Compensation: Your bi-weekly base rate of pay will be $30,769 (annualized to $800,000). Catalent employees are paid every other Friday, one week in arrears (one week behind the most current workweek you’ve completed).

Performance: Performance and merit-based compensation are reviewed as part of an annual process that generally takes place starting during the last quarter of a fiscal year and ending during the first quarter of the following fiscal year. Assuming that your start date will be on or about July 5, 2023, your first compensation review will likely occur in the annual process for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2024.

Rewards: Catalent is pleased to offer a comprehensive, competitive compensation program that rewards talented employees for their performance. Effective on your first day of employment, you will be eligible for our health, life, disability, and 401(k) retirement savings plans, as well as all other plans and programs generally available to our U.S. employees. You will receive more information on these benefits during your new hire orientation session. In addition, you will receive or be eligible to participate in the following:

• You are eligible to participate in Catalent’s short-term incentive plan, which we call the Management Incentive Plan (MIP). Your annual incentive target will be $640,000. You will be eligible for a MIP bonus beginning in our 2024 fiscal year (July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024), pro-rated based on your hire date. Annual bonus payments are determined based upon the achievement of specific company and personal objectives and are not guaranteed. In order to receive your MIP payment, you must be actively employed at the time of payout. Please refer to the MIP summary document for further details.

• In recognition of your leadership position, you will be recommended to receive an initial Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) annual grant equal to $5,000,000. Since LTIP grants have equity components, your grant is subject to the approval of the CLC. The initial grant date will be your hire date. In future years, your LTIP target will be $2,500,000. LTIP grants are made during the first quarter of each fiscal year in accordance with Catalent’s standard equity grant cycle. The complete terms and conditions of the LTIP, including the equity components and related award agreements, will be provided to you shortly after your hire date and are conditioned on, among other things, your acceptance of certain restrictive covenants.

• As a member of the ELT, you will be eligible to participate in Catalent’s Deferred Compensation Plan, which enables you to save over the IRS limits in the qualified 401(k) plan. Complete details on the features of this plan and how to enroll will be mailed to your home following your hire date. You will also be eligible for all other benefits generally made available to members of the ELT, including:

• Financial Planning: Each calendar year, as a member of the ELT, you are eligible for financial planning either by using AYCO (the financial planning unit of Goldman Sachs) or a financial planner of your choice. If you use a financial planner of your choice, your maximum reimbursement per annum is $15,000, which will be considered taxable income and taxed accordingly. More details on financial planning will be provided after your hire date.

Paid Time Off: Upon joining Catalent, you will receive eight (8) paid company holidays (New Year’s Day, MLK Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and the day following, and Christmas Day). In addition:

• You will be eligible to receive 208 hours (26 days) of PTO per calendar year, pro-rated in your first year based on the number of months you are employed. Future increases to PTO entitlement will be in accordance with Catalent’s prevailing Company PTO policy. PTO includes vacation, sick, and personal days. Carryover of unused PTO is allowed as and to the extent set forth in Catalent’s PTO policy.

Start Date: Your first day of employment will be on July 5, 2023, subject to the satisfactory completion of a background check and drug screening test.

Severance: You will receive a separate severance letter agreement, which entitles you to a severance benefit equal to your annual base salary plus MIP target bonus, subject to the terms of the letter agreement.

Stock Ownership: As Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, you will be subject to Catalent’s Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines. These are available from Human Resources.

Reimbursement of legal fees: Within 60 days of your hire date, Catalent will reimburse you for legal fees you may have incurred in conjunction with the acceptance of this offer, up to $2,000, upon submission of an expense reimbursement request subject to our usual requirements.

Offer Requirements: Consistent with our policies for all Catalent personnel and the special considerations of our industry, this offer is contingent upon the satisfactory completion of a drug screen and background check, including reference checks.

• The company-paid drug screen must be completed within 30 calendar days prior to your start date, with acceptable results. After acceptance of this offer, a chain of custody form, required for your drug screen, will be sent to you via e-mail by our vendor with information on how to complete the drug screen.
