On February 20, 2020, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”), upon recommendation of the Board’s Compensation Committee, approved, effective February 27, 2020, the grant of performance-based restricted stock unit awards (the “PSUs”) with a target value at grant of $2.4 million apiece to each of Chirag Patel and Chintu Patel, the Company’s Co-Chief Executive Officers. The PSUs will be granted pursuant to the Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2018 Incentive Award Plan as part of the Company’s 2020 long-term incentive compensation program. Between 0% and 200% of the PSUs can be earned based on the Company’s achievement of stock price hurdles over a three-year period from March 1, 2020 through February 28, 2023, with 50% of such units earned at a stock price of $8.00 per share and 200% of such units earned at a stock price of $20.00 per share. Any earned awards vest in full at the end of such performance period. The PSUs awarded to Messrs. Patel are subject to the same vesting and performance conditions as the performance-based restricted stock units awarded to the Company’s other named executive officers in 2020.

Messrs. Patel both continue to receive an annual salary of $1.00 each and do not receive any annual incentive compensation for their services to the Company.
