(a) On May 15, 2026, Viatris Inc. (“Viatris” or the “Company”) held its 2026 annual meeting of shareholders (the “2026 Annual Meeting”). At the 2026 Annual Meeting, shareholders were asked to consider and act upon the following items of
business: (i) elect thirteen director nominees, each to hold office until the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders; (ii) approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the 2025 compensation of the named executive officers of the Company; and (iii)
ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. With respect to each proposal below, abstentions and broker non-votes were considered
for purposes of establishing a quorum but were not considered to be votes cast and therefore had no effect on the vote on any such proposal.
