Questions and Answers About The Annual Meeting
All other proposals are considered to be non-routine, and banks and brokers
therefore cannot vote shares on those proposals without your instructions. Please note that if you want your vote to be counted on those proposals, including the election of directors, you must instruct your bank or broker how to vote your shares.
If you do not provide voting instructions, no votes will be cast on your behalf with respect to those proposals.
Broker non-votes will
be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum but will not affect the outcome of the vote on any proposal.
What does it mean if
I receive more than one proxy card from the company?
It means that you have more than one account for your shares. Please vote by
internet or telephone using each of the identification numbers, or complete and mail all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted.
What is householding and how does it affect me?
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and
intermediaries, such as brokers, to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or proxy statement and
annual report addressed to those stockholders. This process, commonly referred to as householding, potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. Because we utilize the householding
rules for proxy materials, stockholders who share the same address generally will receive only one copy of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or proxy statement and annual report, unless we receive contrary instructions from any
stockholder at that address. If you prefer to receive multiple copies of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or proxy statement and annual report at the same address, additional copies will be provided to you promptly upon
request. If you are a stockholder of record, you may obtain additional copies upon written or oral request to Emergent BioSolutions Inc., Attn: Investor Relations, 400 Professional Drive, Suite 400, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20879; Telephone: (240)
631-3200, Email: investorrelations@ebsi.com. Eligible stockholders of record receiving multiple copies of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or proxy statement and annual report can request householding by contacting us in the
same manner.
If you are a beneficial owner and hold your shares in a brokerage or custody account, you can request additional copies of
the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or proxy statement and annual report or you can request householding by notifying your broker, bank or other nominee.
How do I attend the annual meeting? When and where will the annual meeting be held?
The annual meeting will be held on May 26, 2022. This year, we will be once again hosting the annual meeting live via the internet. You will
not be able to attend the annual meeting in person. Any stockholder can listen to and participate in the annual meeting live via the internet at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/EBS2022. To participate in the virtual annual meeting, you will
need the 16-digit control number which appears on your proxy card, voting instruction form or notice you will receive. The annual meeting webcast will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time. We encourage you to access the annual meeting webcast
prior to the start time. Online check-in will begin, and stockholders may begin submitting written questions, at 8:45 a.m., Eastern Time, and you should allow ample time for the check-in procedures. If you do not have a control number, you may
attend as a guest (non-stockholder), but will not have the option to vote your shares at the virtual meeting.
What if during the
check-in time or during the annual meeting I have technical difficulties or trouble accessing the virtual meeting?
We will have
technicians ready to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the virtual meeting. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting during the check-in or meeting time, please call the technical support number
that will be posted on the Virtual Shareholder Meeting log in page.
Why are we holding the annual meeting virtually?
As part of our effort to maintain a safe and healthy environment for our directors, members of management and stockholders who wish
to attend the annual meeting, and in light of the novel coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19), we believe that hosting a virtual annual meeting is in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders and enables increased stockholder
attendance and participation during a time when many travel and other restrictions are in place that may limit attendance. Furthermore, we have determined that hosting a virtual annual meeting of stockholders will provide expanded access, improved
communication, and cost
