Shareholder Alert

Voluntary submission by John Chevedden, POB 2673, Redondo Beach, CA 90278

West Pharmaceutical Shareholder since 2020

Important to Vote for all 3 Simple Majority Vote Proposals, Proposals 3, 4 and 6

The reason to vote for all 3 Simple Majority Vote Proposals is that Proposals 3 and 4 are binding proposals that require 80% approval of all West Pharmaceutical shares outstanding. There is the risk that since a number of West Pharmaceutical shareholders do not vote that, in spite of overwhelming approval from the West Pharmaceutical shares that do vote, Proposals 3 and 4 might fail.

That is where Proposal 6 comes in. Proposal 6 is an advisory proposal on the same topic as Proposals 3 and 4. Since Proposal 6 is an advisory proposal it only needs 50.1% approval from the shares that vote.

Thus if Proposals 3 and 4 obtain a 79% vote and fail while Proposal 6 gets at least a 50.1% vote – there will be one successful 2024 vote on this important topic. It is important to obtain approval votes for Proposal 6 as a backup for the possible failure of Proposals 3 and 4. If Proposal 6 is approved while Proposals 3 and 4 fails, then the West Pharmaceutical Board of Directors will get the message to try harder in 2025 to get more votes for Proposals 3 and 4.
