Proxy Summary
Compensation Highlights
During fiscal 2023 we generated record revenues, which included organic growth above our long-term value creation objective for the second year in a row as well as solid continued earnings performance. Our ability to deliver these results against a very dynamic consumer and retail environment is the result of our proven business strategy and the benefits of a diverse portfolio of trusted brands. Consistent with our long-term strategy, we deployed capital strategically while still reducing net leverage. This record performance and disciplined capital allocation demonstrates that our business strategy and diversified portfolio of consumer healthcare brands gives us the ability to generate outstanding value across economic environments. Below are just a few of the financial highlights of fiscal ‘23 that tie both directly and indirectly into incentive program compensation.

​ | Top Line Trends | ​ | ​ | ■ Revenue of  $1,127.7 Million ​ ■ Strong 3.5% organic revenue growth ​ ■ Continued strong growth in International OTC segment, led by Hydralyte® ​ | ​
​ | EPS | ​ | ​ | ■ Adjusted EPS of  $4.21 ​ ■ Strong financial profile leading to increased profitability ​ | ​
​ | Free Cash Flow & Allocation | ​ | ​ | ■ Adjusted Free Cash Flow of  $221.9 million ​ ■ Further reduced debt to enable capital allocation optionality ​ | ​

Please refer to Appendix A for a reconciliation of non-GAAP Organic Growth, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to our most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE (ESG)
ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE (ESG)

​ | Prestige Consumer Healthcare’s Board of Directors, management and employees all recognize the responsibility that comes with selling trusted consumer healthcare brands, and the importance of integrating corporate sustainability into our operations and culture for the benefit of future generations. We are committed to building environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and effective corporate governance into all aspects of our business. We view this as sound business strategy that drives resiliency and long-term value creation for the benefit of all stakeholders, including our consumers, customers, employees, investors, suppliers, regulators and the communities in which we live and operate. | ​
​ | We developed a roadmap for implementation of our ESG program and retained a third-party sustainability consulting firm to assist us with our planning and materiality assessment. This year we published our inaugural corporate sustainability report which will be available on our website, esg.prestigeconsumerhealthcare.com. Our approach to ESG is based on credible frameworks and standards that create a foundation for identifying material ESG topics, understanding our ESG risks and opportunities, and informing our ESG strategy. We also understand the importance of preparing for market transformations by staying proactive in our strategy and preparing for increased transparency with our stakeholders, along with shifts in regulations, such as the proposed SEC climate risk disclosures. | ​

​ | We believe environmental stewardship and social responsibility are key tenets that are pivotal to driving long-term, organizational success. Prestige’s ESG strategy includes kickstarting both public disclosures as well as internal development of policies and procedures that will anchor corporate sustainability into all facets of the business. We retained a sustainability consultant to assist us in conducting a materiality assessment. | ​

We play a pivotal role in ensuring our consumers lead healthier lives by providing options for better health and self-care. We are working with our suppliers to elevate our role in driving appropriate social initiatives. We continue to push for greater inclusivity, workplace safety and transparency. | ​

PURPOSE & VALUES
Our mission is to deliver high-quality consumer health and personal care products that improve and enrich the lives of our consumers. For generations, our trusted brands have helped consumers care for themselves and their loved ones.
OUR COMMITMENT TO OUR FOUR CORE PRINCIPLES

Our Company culture is founded on the principles of Leadership, Trust, Change, and Execution. These principles inspire an inclusive culture that continuously drives our Company towards excellence. The hard work of all our employees and the commitment to these principles enabled us to leverage our business attributes — a leading and time-tested portfolio of brands, a strong financial profile, and consistent cash flows — to deliver strong business achievements in the fiscal year.
OUR BRANDS
We own and market a diverse portfolio of well-recognized consumer brands, some of which were established over 100 years ago. Over time, our brands have developed trust and heritage with consumers that use them, including brands such as Monistat®, Clear Eyes®, BC®, Goody’s®, Summer’s Eve®, TheraTears®, DenTek® and many others.
OUR OPERATIONS AND SUPPLY CHAIN
We are committed to managing our over 100 global suppliers in a responsible manner so that they are aligned with our mission and values. We require each supplier to share the same values our Company embraces and adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct, which outlines environmental and social responsibilities that are aligned with our mission. This code is a standard communication across all suppliers, which allows us to convey to each our formal expectations around expected business practices. This serves to actively aid our partners in their ability to observe our values and standards.
CODE OF CONDUCT
We have a strict Code of Conduct and Ethics that fosters a work environment that is free from intimidation, harassment and violence. Our team employs a process to investigate and resolve any potential conduct or ethics concern that may violate our mission of diversity and inclusion. We use a third-party reporting service for employees to exercise any such concern with

anonymity and confidentiality. Raising a concern honestly or participating in an investigation cannot be the basis for any adverse employment action, including termination, suspension, loss of benefits, threats, harassment or discrimination.
HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Our Company culture is founded on the principles of Leadership, Trust, Change and Execution. Of those principles, Trust is among the most important - Trust in the safety and performance of our products, the integrity of our manufacturing and marketing processes, the character of our people, and the benefit to our consumers and society. We also reward employees who take ownership and embody our principle of Leadership with projects that positively impact our business, community and stakeholders.
We take pride in our culture of diversity, equity & inclusion reflected in the wide range of backgrounds, races, nationalities, personalities, ideas, and talents that make up our organization. We continue to build on our long commitment of equal employment opportunity and anti-discrimination by consciously and proactively promoting inclusion and equity of people with unique cultural and ethnic heritage, color and backgrounds, gender identification and sexual orientation, and other traits. We endeavor to facilitate the acquisition of diverse attitudes, skills and talents particularly for future leadership roles through hiring, workplace practices and employee development. We strive to create and sustain an environment where all employees are heard and inspired to achieve their full potential. We continually review our Company employee demographics to help us adhere to these principles.
SAFETY & HEALTH
We are committed to providing a safe work environment for our employees and require employees to share this commitment by abiding by rigorous safety measures. To enable this and assure that the message of health, safety and well-being are part of our work culture, we conduct regular training programs at our production facility. We seek to comply with all federal, state and/or local occupational safety and health standards and report our safety records in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”).

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Proposal One: Election of Directors
How are nominees evaluated; what are the minimum qualifications?
We believe that our directors should possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values and be committed to representing the interests of the stockholders. They must also have an inquisitive and objective perspective, practical wisdom, mature judgment and demonstrated leadership skills. We also endeavor to have a Board of Directors representing a range of experiences in areas that are relevant to the Company’s business activities.
Below we identify and describe the key experience, qualifications and skills our directors bring to the Board that are important considering the Company’s business and structure. The directors’ experiences, qualifications and skills that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considered in their nominations are included in their individual biographies.

​ |  | ​ | ​ | Leadership Experience. We believe that directors with experience in significant leadership positions over an extended period, especially chief executive officer positions, chief financial officers and other senior executives provide the Company with valuable insights and strategic thinking. These individuals generally possess extraordinary leadership qualities and the ability to identify and develop those qualities in others. They demonstrate a practical understanding of organizations, processes, strategy, risk management and the methods to drive change and growth. | ​
​ |  | ​ | ​ | Finance Experience. We believe that an understanding of finance and the financial reporting process is important for our directors. We measure our operating and strategic performance by reference to financial targets. In addition, accurate financial reporting and robust auditing are critical to our success and developing stockholders’ confidence in our reporting processes under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We expect all of our directors to be financially literate. | ​
​ |  | ​ | ​ | Consumer Products Experience. As a marketer and distributor of brand name personal healthcare products throughout the U.S. and Canada, Australia, and in certain other international markets, we seek directors with experience as executives managing consumer products businesses. | ​
​ |  | ​ | ​ | Marketing Experience. The Company seeks to grow organically by identifying and developing opportunities for expanding distribution of its existing product offerings through traditional and digital marketing, while also developing and launching new products to sell into the market. | ​
​ |  | ​ | ​ | Environmental, Social & Governance. As a global corporate citizen, we believe that sustainable operations are both financially and operationally beneficial to our business, and critical to the health of our employees and the communities in which we operate. We seek directors with experience in building strong environmental, labor, health & safety and ethical practices. | ​
​ |  | ​ | ​ | Supply Chain Experience. The Company relies on third party manufacturers and its manufacturing facility in Lynchburg, Virginia to fulfill its manufacturing needs. As a result, we seek to have directors with experience in supply chain management, and compliance with the various regulations that govern the manufacture, packaging, labeling, distribution, and importation of our products. | ​

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Governance of the Company
Does the Company have a Chairman of the Board?
Yes. The Board of Directors originally appointed Mr. Lombardi as the Chairman of the Board in May of 2017.
John E. Byom currently serves as Lead Independent Director. The Board of Directors considered the structure of its leadership and determined that, based on experience and efficiency, it would strengthen the Company’s ability to meet its strategic vision and create shareholder value by appointing Mr. Lombardi to the combined role of CEO and Chairman. The Board appointed Mr. Byom as its independent and non-executive Lead Independent Director to help ensure the independent directors continue to provide effective oversight of Company management and key issues related to strategy, risk and integrity.
What are the responsibilities of the Lead Independent Director?
The Lead Independent Director acts in a leadership capacity with respect to the Board of Directors and consults with the Chairman of the Board between meetings of the Board of Directors. The Lead Independent has a strong role and significant governance duties, including approval of Board agendas and chairing executive sessions of independent directors.

The Board of Directors currently has three standing committees:
■
the Audit and Finance Committee;

the Compensation and Talent Management Committee; and

​

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | 100%​ | ​ | ​ | As required by the NYSE, all members of the Audit and Finance, Compensation and Talent Management and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees are independent directors. | ​

Who are the Company’s independent directors?
In accordance with the NYSE’s listing requirements, the Board of Directors has evaluated, for each of the directors and director nominees, his or her independence from the Company and its management. In its evaluation, the Board of Directors reviewed whether any transactions or relationships exist currently, or existed during the past three years, between each director or nominee and the Company or its subsidiaries, affiliates or independent auditors. The Board of Directors also examined whether there were any transactions or relationships between each director or nominee and members of the senior management of the Company or their affiliates. Based on this review and the NYSE’s definition of  “independence,” the Board of Directors has determined that a majority of the Board of Directors is “independent.” The independent directors currently are Mses. Clark, Hopkins and Zier and Messrs. Byom, Coughlin, and Ricciardi. The Board’s new nominee, Mr. D’Arecca has also been determined to be independent based on these standards. Based on the NYSE’s listing requirements, the Board of Directors has also determined that each of the members of our Compensation and Talent Management Committee is “independent”. The Board of Directors has also determined that each of the members of our Audit and Finance Committee is “independent” for purposes of Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the NYSE’s listing requirements. The Board of Directors also determined that Ms. Zier and Messrs. Byom, Coughlin and D’Arecca, are financially literate as that qualification is interpreted by the Board and the NYSE and each is an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined by SEC regulations.
Does the Board of Directors evaluate itself and its committees?
Yes. Every year, the Board of Directors and its Committees complete a self-evaluation of their performance and engage in discussion regarding the results. In the event the Board of Directors or its Committees determine that modifications to their

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met five times during 2023.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider as potential director nominees any individuals properly recommended by stockholders. Recommendations concerning individuals proposed for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee should be addressed to Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc., 660 White Plains Road, Tarrytown, New York 10591, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Each recommendation should include a personal biography of the suggested nominee, an indication of the background or experience that qualifies the person for consideration, and a statement that the person has agreed to serve if nominated and elected.
Stockholders who themselves want to nominate a person for election to the Board of Directors, as contrasted with recommending a potential nominee to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for its consideration, are required to comply with the advance notice and other requirements set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”), and any applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, including the information required by Rule 14a-19(b) such as a statement that the nominating stockholder intends to solicit the holders of shares representing at least 67% of the voting power of shares entitled to vote in the election of directors in support of the nominee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not evaluate potential nominees for director differently based on whether they are recommended to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee by officers or directors of the Company or by a stockholder.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies potential candidates for nomination as directors based on recommendations by our executive officers or directors, as well as through professional search firms engaged on a retainer basis. As noted above, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers properly submitted stockholder recommendations for candidates for the Board of Directors. In evaluating candidates for nomination, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider the factors it believes to be appropriate, which would generally include the candidate’s personal and professional integrity, business judgment, relevant experience and skills, and potential to be an effective director in conjunction with the rest of the Board of Directors in collectively serving the interests of our stockholders. Generally, candidates must have the key experience, qualifications and skills, as discussed on page 13 of this Proxy Statement.

What role does diversity play in the selection of members of the Board?

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | In evaluating potential candidates for Board membership, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers diversity of age, gender, race, socio-economic and cultural background and professional experience. We believe our Board’s current composition on which three of six independent directors are female (50% of Board), two of whom are Ethnic Minorities (33% of Board), reflects our efforts and commitment to diversity, even though the Board does not have formal diversity requirements. | ​ | ​ | % OF INDEPENDENT BOARD NOMINEES | ​

The Board believes in a governing style that emphasizes respect for diversity in perspective and includes individuals from diverse backgrounds. The Board believes that diversity is important because the various points of view reflective of our stakeholders contribute to a more effective, engaged Board and better decision-making processes.

PROPOSAL TWO: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Has the Audit and Finance Committee determined PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s independence from the Company?
The Audit and Finance Committee has considered the non-audit services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and determined that the provision of such services had no effect on PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s independence from the Company.
How does the Audit and Finance Committee pre-approve services provided by the independent accounting firm?
The Audit and Finance Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to the Audit and Finance Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval and the fees for the services performed to date. The Audit and Finance Committee may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis. During 2023, all audit and non-audit services were approved in accordance with the Audit and Finance Committee’s pre-approval policy.
How many votes are needed to ratify the appointment of our independent accounting firm for 2024?

TABLE OF CONTENTS​
Proposal Three: Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation
P roposal Three: Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation
Why are we submitting this matter to you?
We are required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act and by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) to provide our stockholders with the opportunity to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers (“NEOs”) contained in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “Say-on-Pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our executive compensation as described in this Proxy Statement. Our executive compensation program is described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”), executive compensation tables and other narrative executive compensation disclosures required by the disclosure rules of the SEC, all of which are found in this Proxy Statement. In particular, the CD&A, beginning on page 34 of this Proxy Statement, describes the Company’s executive compensation program in detail, and we encourage you to review it.
At the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders, our stockholders expressed a preference that advisory votes on executive compensation be held on an annual basis. The Board of Directors has determined, in line with the recommendation of the Company’s stockholders, to have an annual advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers. Accordingly, the next advisory vote on executive compensation will occur at this Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
What are you being asked to vote on?
Stockholders are being asked to vote either for or against the following non-binding resolution:
RESOLVED, that the stockholders of Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and other narrative executive compensation disclosures included in this Proxy Statement.
Is this vote binding?
No. As provided by the Dodd-Frank Act, this vote will not be binding on the Board of Directors or the Compensation and Talent Management Committee and may not be construed as overruling a decision by the Board of Directors or the Compensation and Talent Management Committee or creating or implying any additional fiduciary duty for the Board. Further, it will not affect any compensation paid or awarded to any executive officer. The Compensation and Talent Management Committee and the Board will, however, take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.
What vote is required for approval of the Say-on-Pay proposal?
The approval of this non-binding resolution requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal. If this proposal is not approved by the required vote, the Board and the Compensation and Talent Management Committee will take into account the result of the vote when determining future executive compensation arrangements, particularly if the votes cast against the resolution exceed the number of votes cast in favor of the resolution.

Proposal Four: Advisory Vote to Determine the Preferred Frequency of the Advisory Votes on Compensation
of our Named Executive Officers
Proposal Four: Advisory Vote to Determine the Preferred Frequency of the Advisory Votes on Compensation of our Named Executive Officers
Why are we submitting this matter to you?
In accordance with the Dodd-Frank Act, we are providing our stockholders with the opportunity to vote, on a non-binding, advisory basis, for their preference as to how frequently to hold future advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed pursuant to the SEC’s compensation disclosure rules. Stockholders have the option of recommending a say-on-pay vote every year, every two years, or every three years or abstaining from making a recommendation.
Consistent with the preference expressed by a majority of our stockholders at our 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we have provided our stockholders with a non-binding, advisory vote on our executive compensation every year since then. After careful consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of the frequency of the say-on-pay vote, the Board believes that the continuation of an annual say-on-pay advisory vote will provide the most timely feedback from our stockholders on our executive compensation arrangements, plans, programs, and policies as executive compensation disclosures are made annually. The Board and the Compensation & Talent Management Committee value the preferences of our stockholders and will continue to carefully consider the outcome of the stockholder vote when making future decisions regarding the frequency of advisory, non-binding votes on executive compensation.
What are you being asked to vote on?
Stockholders have the option of recommending a say-on-pay vote every year, every two years, or every three years or abstaining from making a recommendation.
Is this vote binding?
No. As provided by the Dodd-Frank Act, this vote will not be binding on the Board of Directors or the Compensation and Talent Management Committee and may not be construed as overruling a decision by the Board of Directors or the Compensation and Talent Management Committee or creating or implying any additional fiduciary duty for the Board. because this vote is advisory and not binding, the Board may decide that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation more or less frequently than the frequency receiving the most votes cast by our stockholders.
What vote is required for approval of the preferred frequency of Say-on-Pay proposal?
The approval of this non-binding vote requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal. If none of the frequency alternatives are approved by the required vote, the Board and the Compensation and Talent Management Committee will take into account the result of the vote when determining the frequency of future say-on-pay votes.

Pay and Performance

​ | We believe our programs closely link pay and performance based upon the rigorous goals we set in our incentive programs and the fact that our entire long-term incentive award is delivered in equity, which aligns our management team with our stockholders. The business has performed well over the last year due to the extraordinary efforts of our entire team including our NEOs but did not achieve the aggressive goals set by our Compensation and Talent Management Committee resulting in a lower than target bonus for 2023. We also set aggressive goals for our performance stock units, which make up 75% of the CEO’s long-term incentive, as demonstrated by the variable payout over previous years. Due largely to the outstanding performance in the recently completed cycle, FY21-23, the payout for the May 2020 performance stock unit awards was 152.3%. The impact of our performance on executive pay is demonstrated by the below chart that compares our CEO’s target compensation over his tenure to the cash paid as well as the value of the equity granted. | ​ | ​ |  | ​

* Target equity value reflects, for all awards, the grant date fair value. Realized/realizable value reflects, in the case of:

​ | ■ restricted stock units, the value per unvested unit based on the closing price of our common stock on March 31, 2023; ​ | ​ | ​ | ■ performance stock units, the value per unvested unit based on the closing price of our common stock on March 31, 2023, assuming achievement of target performance. ​ | ​

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
BRIEF SUMMARY OF COMPENSATION PROGRAM

​ | GOALS OF THE PROGRAM: | ​
​ | ■ To attract, retain and motivate talented management taking competitors’ compensation practices into account; ​ ■ Reinforce our strategy; and ​ | ​ | ​ | ■ To support achievement of our Company-wide objectives and increase stockholder value; ​ ■ Maintain practices that support good governance. ​ | ​

​ | ANNUAL CASH INCENTIVE AWARDS: | ​
​ | ■ Our named executive officers earned their annual cash incentive awards through our Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”) primarily based on the Company’s achievement of pre-determined performance goals related to net sales (weighted 50%) and Adjusted AIP EBITDA (weighted 50%), as defined later in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis. ​ ■ The Company came within 99% of its net sales target and 98% of its Adjusted EBITDA goals following a record fiscal year 22 and in the very challenging macroeconomic environment. ​ ■ Pursuant to the 2023 AIP, our named executive officers achieved a bonus payout equal to 93.4% of their target bonus based on the financial performance of the Company. Our plan also allows for an individual adjustment, up or down, based on individual performance. While the entire leadership team performed very well in the challenging macroeconomic environment, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee elected to not award additional bonus to the named executive officers based on their individual performance throughout the year. ​ | ​

​ | LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARDS | ​
​ | ■ The performance-based orientation of our long-term incentive program is reflected in 75% of our CEO’s targeted value of the long-term incentive award allocated to performance stock units, with the remaining 25% delivered in restricted stock units. ​ ■ Our other named executive officers’ targeted value of the long-term incentive award was allocated 33% to performance stock units, 33% to restricted stock units and 33% to stock options. Beginning in 2024, to further align our NEOs with our performance-based long-term incentive program, 60% of the other NEOs long-term incentive will be allocated to performance stock units, with the remaining 40% delivered in restricted stock units. No stock options will be granted to the NEOs. ​ ■ Challenging 3-year goals are set for adjusted cumulative revenue and cumulative EBITDA metrics. ​ ■ The May 2020 performance stock unit grant payout was 152.3% for the three-year performance period, fiscal 2021 through 2023. Consistent with the provisions of the plan, the payout was adjusted to account for non-cash goodwill and intangible asset impairments and to eliminate any benefit in the results from the acquisition of the Akorn Consumer Health products business. ​ | ​

​ | MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT | ​
​ | ■ During fiscal 2023 we generated record revenues and earnings even within the backdrop of a highly volatile economic environment with significant supply chain challenges and high inflation. Consistent with our long-term strategy, we continue to reduce net leverage providing enhanced capital allocation optionality for the future. This record performance demonstrates that our business strategy and diversified portfolio of consumer healthcare brands gives us the ability to generate outstanding value across economic environments. No adjustments related to the macroeconomic environment were made to fiscal 2023 results for purposes of compensation decisions. ​ | ​

COMPENSATION GOVERNANCE HIGHLIGHTS
We endeavor to maintain good governance standards including with respect to the oversight of our executive compensation policies and practices, as evidenced by the following policies and practices that we maintain:

​ | The Compensation and Talent Management Committee is composed solely of independent directors. The Compensation and Talent Management Committee’s independent compensation consultant, CAP, is retained directly by the Compensation and Talent Management Committee and performs no other consulting or other services for us. We prohibit hedging and limit pledging by the Company’s directors, executive officers and employees. We maintain a compensation clawback policy, as described later in this CD&A. We maintain robust stock ownership guidelines, which are described later in this CD&A. Our executive severance plan does not contain a Section 280G excise tax “gross-up” provision. | ​ | ​ | ​ | The Compensation and Talent Management Committee conducts an annual review of our compensation-related risk profile to ensure that compensation-related risks are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Compensation and Talent Management Committee regularly reviews succession and talent management. Equity awards that are assumed in a change-in- control event have a “double trigger” change in control vesting provision. Our 2020 LTIP prohibits the repricing of stock options without stockholder approval. Our 2020 LTIP prohibits the granting of stock options with an exercise price below fair market value. We do not provide excessive perquisites. | ​

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
What are the elements of the Company’s 2023 executive compensation program and why does the Company pay them?
The following table provides additional information regarding the various elements of our 2023 executive compensation program.
In setting pay, did the Compensation and Talent Management Committee take into consideration last year’s advisory stockholder vote on executive compensation?

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | 2022 Say on pay approval​ | ​ | ​ | Yes. At the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, approximately 97% of the shares represented, entitled to vote and voted at the annual meeting were voted to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as discussed and disclosed in our 2022 Proxy Statement. In considering the results of this advisory vote on executive compensation, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee concluded that the compensation paid to our named executive officers and the Company’s overall compensation program enjoy strong stockholder support. We also regularly meet with our largest stockholders and solicit feedback on a wide range of topics. | ​

At the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders expressed a preference that advisory votes on executive compensation be held on an annual basis. Consistent with this preference, the Board determined to implement an advisory vote on executive compensation on an annual basis until the next required vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on the compensation of executive officers, which will occur at this upcoming Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2023.
What is the purpose of the Compensation Discussion and Analysis?
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis has been prepared to provide a summary of the policies and procedures established by the Company in reviewing and determining compensation for our named executive officers.

​ | Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc.2023 Proxy Statement | ​ | ​ | 38 | ​

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Specifically, the following discussion outlines, among other things, the objectives of executive compensation, the elements of executive compensation, how determinations are made as to specific elements of, and total, executive compensation, severance and change-in-control payments, and executive officer involvement in setting executive compensation.
What is our compensation philosophy and what are the objectives of the compensation programs?
It is the intent of the Company, through the efforts of the Compensation and Talent Management Committee, to:

​ | ■ motivate our business leaders to deliver a high degree of business performance and ensure that their interests are closely aligned with those of our stockholders; ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ■ attract and retain highly qualified senior leaders who can drive a successful global enterprise in today’s competitive marketplace and represent the diversity of our employees and the customers we serve; ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ■ establish executive compensation that is competitive with the compensation offered by similarly situated companies; ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ■ focus management on both the Company’s short-term and long-term strategy, performance and success; ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ■ maintain practices that support good governance; and ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ■ structure programs that mitigate any incentives to take excessive risks. ​ | ​ | ​

Our executive compensation philosophy is to have programs and pay levels that enable us to attract, retain and motivate talented management who will drive exceptional results for our stockholders. We accomplish this by ensuring that our executive officers are compensated in a way that considers market practice, supports good governance, and drives both company and individual performance. To ensure fair and competitive pay, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee references a peer group comprised of companies it selected based on various characteristics (as described further below) and targets the median of such peer group in setting target pay levels for the Company’s executive officers.
The Company uses the following types of compensation to compensate and reward our executive officers for their performance: base salary, a cash-based annual incentive plan, and long-term equity awards comprised of performance stock units, restricted stock units and stock options. The Compensation and Talent Management Committee believes that the elements of compensation that it provides create a flexible, performance-based compensation package that focuses and rewards executives for short and long-term performance, while aligning the interests of our executive officers with the interests of the Company’s stockholders.
Each element of executive compensation described above is determined based on:

​ | ■ the executive’s level of responsibility and function within the Company; ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ■ the overall performance and profitability of the Company; ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ■ the executive’s performance within the Company; ​ | ​

​ | ■ executive compensation offered to similarly situated executives at peer companies; and ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ■ good governance practices. ​ | ​

Through a combination of salary, incentive-based cash awards and other equity awards, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee desires to provide attractive and competitive compensation to the executive officers, a significant portion of which is contingent upon the Company’s performance.
How are the Company’s executive compensation programs structured to address the Company’s objectives?
PERFORMANCE
Our executive compensation includes a significant amount of performance-based, or at-risk, compensation. We consider compensation to be performance-based or at-risk if payment is subject to achievement of performance targets or the value received is dependent on our stock price.

​ | Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc.2023 Proxy Statement | ​ | ​ | 39 | ​

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
The Compensation and Talent Management Committee believes that the use of performance-based or at-risk compensation allows the Company to tailor the compensation paid to our executive officers to the Company’s performance and maintain a compensation system that significantly affects executive compensation in the event the Company does not meet the pre-determined performance goals. Furthermore, utilizing threshold performance targets puts the performance units entirely at risk, which means that in the event the Company does not meet the threshold performance goals, the performance units would not be paid to the executive officers. Performance stock units are earned only if the Company achieves the pre-established three-year performance goals and the stock options only have value as the Company’s stock price increases. 75% of our CEO’s targeted value of the long-term incentive award is allocated to performance stock units, with the remaining 25% delivered in restricted stock units. Beginning in 2024, to further align our NEOs with our performance-based long-term incentive program, 60% of the other NEOs’ long-term incentive will be allocated to performance stock units, with the remaining 40% delivered in restricted stock units. No stock option incentives will be granted.

​ | Long-Term Incentive (LTI) Vehicle | ​ | ​ | 2023 Target LTI NEOs other than CEO | ​ | ​ | 2024 Target LTI NEOs other than CEO | ​ | ​ | Target LTI Value CEO | ​
​ | Performance Stock Units | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 33% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 60% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 75% | ​ | ​
​ | Stock Options | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 33% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 0% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 0% | ​ | ​
​ | Service-based Restricted Stock Units | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 33% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 40% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 25% | ​ | ​

The charts below show the percentage of pay tied to financial or stock performance of 82% and 63% of the total compensation for 2023 of our CEO and other named executive officers, respectively.
ALIGNMENT
By motivating and incentivizing our executive officers with regard to the Company’s short- and long-term goals, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee believes that the interests of the executive officers and the Company’s stockholders are properly aligned.
Did the Compensation and Talent Management Committee use the services of an independent consultant during 2023?
Yes. The Compensation and Talent Management Committee engaged Compensation Advisory Partners (“CAP”) to conduct an analysis of the Company’s compensation levels and design for the Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers of the Company. CAP also provided market context and advice for decisions related to incentives and other compensation practices.
In 2023, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee evaluated the independence of CAP considering SEC rules and NYSE listing standards, which require consideration of the following factors:
■
whether any other services are provided to the Company by the consultant;
​

​ | Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc.2023 Proxy Statement | ​ | ​ | 40 | ​

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
■
the fees paid by the Company as a percentage of the consulting firm’s total revenue;
​
■
the policies or procedures maintained by the consulting firm that are designed to prevent a conflict of interest;
​
■
any business or personal relationships between the individual consultants involved in the engagement and a member of the Compensation and Talent Management Committee;
​
■
any Company stock owned by the individual consultants involved in the engagement; and
​
■
any business or personal relationships between our executive officers and the consulting firm or the individual consultants involved in the engagement.
​
The Compensation and Talent Management Committee discussed these considerations and concluded that the engagement of CAP and the services provided to the Compensation and Talent Management Committee by CAP did not raise any conflict of interest.
CAP did not provide any services to the Company other than in connection with its engagement by the Compensation and Talent Management Committee.
Does the Compensation and Talent Management Committee use a peer group of companies?
Yes. As part of its evaluation of the Company’s compensation packages, CAP recommended a group of peer companies that reflect the Company’s rapid growth and entrepreneurial business model, as well as being within a reasonable range of the Company’s revenue, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, and market capitalization. Because our core products are in the over-the-counter and personal care sector, there are relatively few companies like us. As a result, we consider companies with strong brands and similar business models as comparable peers. In addition, given our operating model and high margins, we consider strong EBITDA performance to be an important metric in selecting our peers. Based on this analysis, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee approved the following peer group:

​ | 2023 PEER GROUP | ​
​ | ■ B&G Foods Holdings Corp. ​ | ​ | ​ | ■ Calavo Growers Inc. ​ | ​
​ | ■ Church & Dwight Co. ​ | ​ | ​ | ■ Edgewell Personal Care Company ​ | ​
​ | ■ Energizer Holdings, Inc. ​ | ​ | ​ | ■ Hain Celestial Group, Inc. ​ | ​
​ | ■ Helen of Troy Limited ​ | ​ | ​ | ■ Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc ​ | ​
​ | ■ Lannett Co. ​ | ​ | ​ | ■ Primo Water Corporation ​ | ​
​ | ■ Revlon, Inc. ​ | ​ | ​ | ■ Tupperware Brands Corp ​ | ​
​ | ■ USANA Health Sciences, Inc. ​ | ​ | ​ | ■ Vista Outdoor Inc. ​ | ​
​ | ■ Pacira BioSciences, Inc. ​ | ​ | ​ | ■ Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated ​ | ​

For 2023 compensation planning, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee added Pacira BioSciences, Inc. and Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated. For 2024 compensation planning, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee removed from the peer group Revlon, Inc. and Lannett Co. (both filed bankruptcy) and added Hostess Brands, Inc.
How does the Compensation and Talent Management Committee use market data from the peer group?
In determining compensation for 2023, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee reviewed and considered market data provided to it by CAP related to individual pay components (salary and target annual bonus opportunity), total cash compensation, long-term incentive target grant values, and total direct compensation, at the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile of the peer group. The Compensation and Talent Management Committee intends compensation to approximate the median level of compensation offered to similarly situated executive officers at companies in the Company’s peer group. While market data is an important factor in setting pay, it is not the only factor we consider. For example, an executive officer’s total compensation may be higher or lower than the market median based on the level of responsibility, individual experience and performance in a particular year. In some situations, we will also use compensation survey data as an additional point of reference for select named executive officers.
How does the Company determine the types and amounts of executive compensation?
BASE SALARY
The Compensation and Talent Management Committee determines the base salary for our executive officers by first reviewing peer group salaries for similarly situated positions and then adjusting such salaries as necessary based on the scope of work, skills,

​ | Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc.2023 Proxy Statement | ​ | ​ | 41 | ​

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
experience, responsibilities, performance and seniority of the executive and the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer (except in the case of his own compensation, which is determined by the Compensation and Talent Management Committee and the Board of Directors). In addition, with respect to promotions and new hires, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee considers the predecessor’s base salary. The Company views base salary as a fixed component of executive compensation that compensates the executive officer for the daily responsibilities assumed in keeping the Company operating throughout the year. The Compensation and Talent Management Committee reviews executive officers’ salaries annually at the end of the fiscal year and establishes the base salaries for the upcoming fiscal year. The base salaries paid to our named executive officers during 2023 are set forth in the “Salary” column of the Summary Compensation table later in this Proxy Statement.
In May 2023, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee approved adjustments to base salaries for 2024, as set forth below:

​ | Name | ​ | ​ | 2023 Salary | ​ | ​ | 2024 Salary | ​ | ​ | % Increase effective April 1, 2023 | ​
​ | Mr. Lombardi | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 1,000,000 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 1,000,000 | ​ | ​ | ​ | 0% | ​
​ | Ms. Sacco | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 605,000 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 625,000 | ​ | ​ | ​ | 3.3% | ​
​ | Mr. Mekhail | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 500,000 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 515,000 | ​ | ​ | ​ | 3% | ​
​ | Mr. P’Pool | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 514,000 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 530,000 | ​ | ​ | ​ | 3% | ​
​ | Mr. Zerillo | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 350,000 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 360,000 | ​ | ​ | ​ | 2.9% | ​

ANNUAL CASH INCENTIVE PLAN
The Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”) provides our executive officers with the ability to earn additional cash compensation based on a percentage of base salary and the Company’s performance. The Company views the AIP as a performance-based component of executive compensation that motivates and incentivizes the executive officers to achieve the short-term goals of the Company and our stockholders.
For 2023, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee chose the following as the corporate financial goals for the AIP:

​ | Metric | ​ | ​ | Weighting | ​ | ​ | Definition | ​ | ​ | Rationale for Selection | ​
​ | AIP net sales | ​ | ​ |  | ​ | ​ | Total revenues. | ​ | ​ | Drive consistent top-line growth. | ​
​ | AIP Adjusted EBITDA | ​ | ​ |  | ​ | ​ | Net income plus depreciation and amortization, interest expense, integration, transition, purchase accounting, legal and various other costs associated with acquisitions and divestitures, tradename impairment and certain tax adjustments. | ​ | ​ | Drive stockholder value creation in terms of growth of earnings per share and free cash flow. | ​

​ | Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc.2023 Proxy Statement | ​ | ​ | 42 | ​

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Typically, no bonuses are payable under the AIP unless the Company achieves threshold performance for one of the goals set for net sales or Adjusted EBITDA. If the Company achieves both of these threshold goals, then each of our named executive officer’s bonus is subject to a maximum award of 200% of their target bonus based on achievement with respect to the Company performance factors. The award will be subject to an additional individual performance factor that may be added to and raise the total annual bonus for the executive above 200% of their target bonus up to the maximum of the individual award factor of 20%. The Compensation and Talent Management Committee identified a target bonus, expressed as a percentage of their base salary, for each named executive officer, which for 2023 were as follows:
■
Mr. Lombardi, 100%
​
■
Ms. Sacco, 60%
​
■
Mr. Mekhail, 60%
​
■
Mr. P’Pool, 50%
​
■
Mr. Zerillo, 40%
​
The following table reflects the 2023 net sales, Adjusted EBITDA and payout levels approved by the Compensation and Talent Management Committee that correspond to the threshold, target and maximum performance by the Company. The named executive officers earn no payment (if performance is below threshold) or a payment on a sliding-scale between the minimum (threshold) amount and the maximum amount, inclusive of the target amount based on the Company’s performance.

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | Performance Level/ Payout (mil) | ​
​ | Metric | ​ | ​ | Weighting | ​ | ​ | Threshold (50%) | ​ | ​ | Target (100%) | ​ | ​ | Maximum (200%) | ​
​ | AIP net sales | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 50% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 1,024.5 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 1,138.3 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 1,252.1 | ​ | ​
​ | AIP Adjusted EBITDA | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 50% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 346.1 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 384.6 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 423.1 | ​ | ​

Following the close of the fiscal year, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee assesses the Company’s performance against the pre-determined performance targets and determines the amount, if any, of bonus earned by the executive officers. To be eligible to receive cash incentive compensation, the executive must be employed with the Company at the time payments are made by the Company. Despite a very challenging macroeconomic environment, our 2023 net sales and Adjusted EBITDA for the Company were $1,127.7 million and $378.1 million, respectively. Based on the results of these financial metrics, our named executive officers earned 93.4% of their target bonus. While the entire leadership team performed very well in the challenging macroeconmic environment, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee did not elect to award additional bonus to the named executive officers based on their individual performance throughout the year. When determining the adjustments to individual bonus payouts, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee considered each named executive officers’ achievement against their respective goals. Any adjustments to the payouts are linked to the goals and objectives set for the individual by the CEO or in the case of the CEO, by the Compensation and Talent Management Committee. Key achievements by our named executive officers considered by the Compensation and Talent Management Committee for 2023 included:
■

EQUITY AWARDS
Executive officers of the Company are eligible to receive annual equity awards under our Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2020 LTIP”). Awards under the 2020 LTIP help tie a significant portion of an executive officer’s long-term compensation directly to stock price appreciation realized by all our stockholders and aligns an executive officer’s interests with those of our stockholders. Under the 2020 LTIP, our executive officers may receive performance stock units, restricted stock units and stock options.
Overall Philosophy and Objectives Regarding Equity Awards
The Company views the above-mentioned equity awards as components of executive compensation that motivate and incentivize management to achieve the long-term performance goals (including stock price appreciation) of the Company and our stockholders.
The Compensation and Talent Management Committee believes equity-based incentive compensation aligns executive and stockholder interests because:

​ | ■ the use of multi-year vesting for equity awards encourages executive retention and emphasizes the attainment of long-term performance goals; ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ■ paying a significant portion of executive compensation with long-term incentive-based compensation motivates and incentivizes the executive officers to meet the long-term performance goals set by the Compensation and Talent Management Committee; and ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ■ the executive officers will hold significant amounts of equity in the Company as required by the Company’s Stock Ownership Guidelines and will be motivated to increase stockholder value over the long-term. ​ | ​

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
In May 2022, following discussions with CAP and review of the benchmarking data for our executive officers, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee increased target award values for each executive for FY2023 to move each closer to the median of the peer group. Target award values increased, as provided in the table below.

​ | Name | ​ | ​ | FY2023 Targeted Award Value | ​ | ​ | % Increase from FY2022 | ​
​ | Mr. Lombardi | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 3,600,000 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 9.1 | ​ | ​
​ | Ms. Sacco | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 1,000,000 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 5.3 | ​ | ​
​ | Mr. Mekhail | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 500,000 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 5.3 | ​ | ​
​ | Mr. P’Pool | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 520,000 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 4.4 | ​ | ​
​ | Mr. Zerillo | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 350,000 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 3.6 | ​ | ​

For our CEO, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee allocated approximately three-quarters of his targeted equity award value to performance stock units and the remaining one-quarter to restricted stock units. For our other named executive officers, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee allocated approximately one-third of the targeted equity award value to performance stock units, stock options and restricted stock units. In each case, the actual number of options and stock units granted was determined by dividing the allocated dollar value by the Black-Scholes value, in the case of the stock options, and the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date, in the case of stock units. The 2023 equity grants to our named executive officers are set forth in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table later in this Proxy Statement.
Vesting Criteria for Equity Awards

​ | Performance Stock Units | ​ | ​ | ■ Vest at the end of three years if company achieves pre-established goals relative to cumulative adjusted EBITDA and cumulative Net Sales (each weighted 50%). ​ ■ The actual payout is determined based on the Company’s actual performance aggregated over the three-year period on a sliding-scale between the minimum (threshold) amount and the maximum amount, inclusive of the target amount. ​ ■ Participants can earn up to 200% of the target number of shares with exceptional performance. ​ ■ If performance is below target, but above threshold, participants can earn 50% of their award. ​ ■ If performance is below threshold, participants earn 0% of their award. ​ | ​
​ | Stock Options | ​ | ​ | Vest ratably over three years based on service. | ​
​ | Restricted Stock Units | ​ | ​ | Vest ratably over three years based on service. | ​

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
For 2023, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee chose the following as the corporate financial goals for the 3-year Performance Stock Units:

​ | Metric | ​ | ​ | Weighting | ​ | ​ | Definition | ​ | ​ | Rationale for Selection | ​
​ | Cumulative Net Sales | ​ | ​ | 50% | ​ | ​ | The Company’s cumulative annual “Net Sales,” as reported in the Company’s audited financial statements for the 3-year performance period, adjusted to exclude divestitures, acquisitions, changes in accounting policy and other adjustments deemed appropriate by the Committee. | ​ | ​ | Drive consistent top-line growth over time | ​
​ | Cumulative EBITDA | ​ | ​ | 50% | ​ | ​ | Company’s cumulative reported net earnings (loss) excluding earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of the provision (benefit) for income taxes, net of interest income and expense, net of depreciation and amortization. EBITDA for the 3-year performance period is adjusted to exclude divestitures, acquisitions, costs associated with integration, transition, purchase accounting, impairment charges, changes in accounting policy and other adjustments deemed appropriate by the Committee. | ​ | ​ | Drive stockholder value creation in terms of growth of earnings per share and free cash flow. | ​

Treatment Upon Retirement. The Compensation and Talent Management Committee approved a “Rule of 62” policy for long-term equity awards granted in 2019 and beyond. Pursuant to the “Rule of 62,” if an employee retires from the Company with at least five years of service and a total of age and years of service at retirement equal to or greater than 62, then his or her outstanding awards will vest, based on actual company performance at the end of the 3-year performance period in the case of performance units, and in each case prorated based upon the employee’s length of employment during the vesting or performance period, as applicable. In each case the employee must give at least six months’ notice prior to retirement. Additionally our LTIP provides that, upon an employee’s retirement, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee, may at its discretion, accelerate the vesting of an employee’s outstanding awards.
Severance and Change in Control Provisions. All unvested equity awards that are assumed in connection with a change of control vest only after both the change in control event and the employee’s subsequent termination and, in the case of awards that are not assumed in connection with the change in control, such unvested equity awards will vest on the change in control. For additional information regarding severance and change-in-control payments that the Company may be obligated to pay to a named executive officer in the future due to the termination of his employment pursuant to the Company’s Executive Severance Plan, please see the sections titled “Executive Compensation and Other Matters — Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control,” “Executive Compensation and Other Matters — Employment Agreements” and “Executive Compensation and Other Matters — Additional Vesting Provisions” contained elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.

May 2020 Performance Stock Unit Award Payout
The May 2020 performance stock unit grant resulted in a payout of 152.3% for the three-year performance period FY 2021- 2023 as set out below:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | Adjusted Results | ​ | ​ | Target | ​
​ | 3-Year Cumulative Sales | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 3,057.1 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 2,858,3 | ​ | ​
​ | 3-Year Cumulative EBITDA | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 1,047.3 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 1,011.1 | ​ | ​
​ | Performance Multiplier 152.3% | ​

The Performance Multiplier resulted in the distribution of 87,854 shares to Mr. Lombardi, 9,968 shares to Ms. Sacco, 5,587 shares to Mr. Mekhail, 5,967 shares to Mr. P’Pool and 4,063 shares to Mr. Zerillo from their May 2020 performance stock unit grants.
Although the Company incurred numerous unanticipated financial impacts and other volatility resulting from the macroeconomic environment especially significant supply chain issues and high inflation, no upward adjustments were factored into the performance stock unit grant payout for fiscal year 2023 results, other than non-cash goodwill and intangible asset impairments. Consistent with the plan provisions and previous decisions of the Committee, the results were adjusted to remove any benefit from the Akorn Consumer Health products acquisition. Please refer to Appendix A for a reconciliation of Non-GAAP Adjusted Total Net Sales to GAAP Total Revenues and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP Net Income used to determine our May 2020 Performance Grant Payout.
When does the Company typically grant equity awards?
The Company generally grants equity awards to its employees as soon as practicable after the beginning of a fiscal year, typically at its first regularly scheduled Board meeting in the new fiscal year. The equity awards are granted after the Chief Executive Officer has presented a proposed structure and level of awards and the Compensation and Talent Management Committee has fully reviewed all aspects of the awards, including the value of the awards and the vesting period. The awards are valued at the market closing price on the day of grant.
Are the Company’s directors and executive officers required to own a minimum amount of the Company’s common stock?
Yes. The Board of Directors adopted Stock Ownership Guidelines for the directors and executive officers of the Company to align their interests with the Company’s stockholders. Each person subject to the Stock Ownership Guidelines is expected to be fully compliant with the guidelines by the date of the first Annual Meeting of Stockholders following the fifth anniversary of the date of employment as an executive officer of the Company or, for directors, the date of election to the Board. The following equity interests are included for purposes of determining compliance with the Stock Ownership Guidelines:
■
shares of the Company purchased on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions;
​
■
shares of the Company acquired by inheritance or gift or held by immediate family members or in trust for the benefit of the employee or family member;
​
■
after-tax shares of the Company acquired through vested restricted stock units and performance stock units;
​
■
60% of vested options to the extent in-the-money — reflecting the approximate after-tax value of those shares; and
​
■
60% of unvested restricted stock units and performance stock units that cliff vest, prorated to the extent full years of completed service or periods of performance, as applicable, at current projected performance multiple — reflecting the approximate after-tax value of those shares.
​
The following equity interests are not included for purposes of determining compliance with the Stock Ownership Guidelines:
■
unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units, except as provided above;
​
■
unvested stock options; and
​

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
■
vested but not “in-the-money” stock options.
​
The Stock Ownership Guidelines are summarized as follows:
If a director or executive is below the ownership requirement, until the specified level is met, the director or officer will be required to retain 50 percent of the net, after-tax value of any equity received from the Company’s equity plan until the individual meets the guideline. All directors and executives are in compliance with the guidelines or are within the five-year transition period. The CEO currently exceeds his guideline by more than 300% of the holding requirement.
Does the Company have a policy regarding hedging or pledging Company securities?
Yes. The Company’s Insider Trading Policy prohibits hedging and limits any pledging by the Company’s directors, executive officers and employees.
Does the Company have a policy regarding the recovery of incentive-based compensation paid to executive officers if the Company restates its financial statements?
Yes. Pursuant to the Company’s Clawback Policy, in the event that the Company is required to restate its financial statements due to material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirement under the U.S. federal securities laws, the Company will, subject to the terms of the Clawback Policy, seek to recover from senior management any incentive-based compensation that was paid to or received by, or is to be paid to, senior management for the three years immediately preceding the period for which the Company is required to restate its financial statements, insofar as such incentive compensation is a result of errors within the financial statements that are required to be restated. The amount of the incentive-based compensation that the Company will seek to recover is the difference between the amount of the incentive-based compensation received by senior management based on the erroneous financial statements and the amount of incentive-based compensation that would have been paid to senior management based on the financial statements as restated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company is not obligated to pursue any recovery if the Board of Directors or applicable committee determines that the recovery amount is de minimis to the Company or the expected cost of recovery will exceed the amount to be recovered.
What are the respective roles of the Compensation and Talent Management Committee, its consultant and the Company’s executive officers in determining executive compensation?
Executive Officer Compensation. Mr. Lombardi, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, with the assistance of certain members of senior management, participated in discussions with, and made recommendations to, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee regarding the setting of base salaries and cash and equity incentive plan compensation for the other executive officers. Mr. Lombardi was assisted by certain members of senior management and CAP in reviewing the competitive landscape for executive talent and structuring the types and levels of executive compensation for review by the Compensation and Talent Management Committee.
Chief Executive Officer Compensation. The Compensation and Talent Management Committee and the Board of Directors are responsible for establishing the CEO’s compensation package. The Compensation and Talent Management Committee consulted with CAP, its independent compensation consultant, in determining the compensation to be awarded to Mr. Lombardi in 2023, and in determining his compensation program for 2024.

Reflects the grant date fair value of restricted stock unit awards and performance stock unit awards, determined in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC Topic 718 Stock Compensation (“FASB ASC Topic 718”). The fair value of the restricted stock unit awards and performance stock unit awards is based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The grant date value of the performance stock unit awards was computed by multiplying (i) the target number of performance stock units awarded to each named executive officer, which was the assumed probable outcome as of the grant date, by (ii) the grant date fair value used for financial reporting purposes. With regard to the 2021 stock value, the amount reflected in this table differs slightly from the grant value approved by the Committee on May 4, 2020 (as reflected on page 47 of this proxy) because the grant date fair value of the performance stock units determined in accordance with applicable accounting rules could not be determined until February 1, 2021, which is the date that the Committee set the applicable performance goals. On February 1, 2021, the Company’s stock price was $40.89, as compared to $39.98 on May 4, 2020, resulting in a greater grant date value for accounting purposes. Assuming, instead, that the highest level of performance would be achieved, the grant date fair values of the performance stock units would have been as follows: Mr. Lombardi, $4,717,479 (2021), $4,949,976 (2022) and $5,400,047 (2023); Ms. Sacco $535,250 (2021), $633,298 (2022) and $666,713_(2023); Mr. Mekhail $300,051 (2021), $316,694 (2022) and $333,356 (2023); Mr. P’Pool $320,414 (2021), $332,032 (2022) and $346,647 (2023); and Mr. Zerillo $218,189 (2021), $225,374 (2022) and $233,349 (2023).

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
Employment Agreements
Do any named executive officers have employment agreements or other written employment arrangements?
No. The Compensation and Talent Management Committee approved the Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. Executive Severance Plan (“ESP”), to transition away from individual agreements with our executive officers.
What are the terms of the Amended and Restated Executive Severance Plan?
Pursuant to the terms of the plan, the Compensation and Talent Management Committee will, in its sole discretion, select eligible employees for participation in the and designate such employees as Tier One or Tier Two participants, subject to timely execution of a participation letter agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the letter agreement, the participants will agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the executive severance plan and the letter agreement. The Compensation and Talent Management Committee designated Mr. Lombardi as a Tier One participant and certain other executive officers as Tier Two participants, including Messrs. Mekhail, P’Pool and Zerillo and Ms. Sacco.
The executive severance plan provides for the payment of severance and other benefits to participants in the event of their termination of employment by the Company without cause or resignation for good reason, each as defined in the executive severance plan.
In the event of a termination of employment by the Company without cause or resignation for good reason prior to a change in control, the executive severance plan provides the following payments and benefits to the participant:
■
a prorated annual incentive payment in respect of the participant’s service during the fiscal year in which his or her date of termination occurred based on actual performance results for such fiscal year;
​
■
severance equal to a multiple (1.5, in the case of a Tier One participant, and 1, in the case of a Tier Two participant), of the sum of the participant’s annual base salary plus his or her target annual incentive, payable over a period of twelve months, in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices; and
​
■
payment of COBRA premiums for a period of twelve months.
​
In the event of a termination of employment by the Company without cause or resignation for good reason upon or within 24 months following a change in control, the executive severance plan provides the following payments and benefits to the participant:
■
a prorated annual incentive payment in respect of the participant’s service during the fiscal year in which his or her date of termination occurred based on actual performance results for such fiscal year;
​
■
severance equal to a multiple (2.5, in the case of a Tier One participant, and 2, in the case of a Tier Two participant), of the sum of the participant’s annual base salary plus his or her target annual incentive, payable in a lump sum upon termination; and
​
■
payment of COBRA premiums for a period of eighteen months;
​
■
and (iv) outplacement services suitable to participant’s position.
​
The executive severance plan provides that in the event that the payments described above would, if paid, be subject to excise taxes that may be imposed on excess parachute payments under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, then the payments will be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion of the payments is subject to the excise tax, provided that net amount of the reduced payments, after giving effect to income tax consequences, is greater than or equal to the net amount of the payments without such reduction, after giving effect to the excise tax and income tax consequences.
In order to be entitled to severance payments and benefits, the participant will be required to comply with the terms and conditions of the executive severance plan and the letter agreement, including, without limitation, a requirement to execute a release and waiver of all claims in favor of the Company and comply with certain post-employment covenants, including a confidentiality covenant and a covenant not to compete with the Company or solicit the Company’s employees for eighteen months, in the case of a Tier One participant, or twelve months, in the case of a Tier Two participant, following termination of employment.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
The Compensation and Talent Management Committee may amend or terminate the executive severance plan at any time; provided that:
■
no such action may impair the rights of a participant who previously has incurred a Qualifying Termination without his or her consent; and
​
■
the executive severance plan may not be terminated or amended after a change in control of the Company in any manner that would adversely affect the benefits available to any participant in the executive severance plan.
​
What are the special vesting provisions for equity awards?
Both our 2005 LTIP and 2020 LTIP provides that the Compensation and Talent Management Committee may, at its discretion, decide to vest the unvested portion of a grantee’s restricted stock units or stock option award if a grantee’s employment is terminated due to death, disability or retirement. In connection with a change of control event, unvested equity awards are treated as follows:
■
If  (i) a change in control occurs while the employee is employed by us, and (ii) the equity award is not assumed by the surviving entity or otherwise equitably converted or substituted in connection with the change in control, then the equity award will become fully-vested as of the date of the change in control.
​
■
If  (i) a change in control occurs while the employee is employed by us, and (ii) the equity award is assumed by the surviving entity or otherwise equitably converted or substituted in connection with the change in control in a manner approved by our Board, then the equity award will become fully-vested if within twenty- four (24) months following the change in control, the participant’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause, disability or death or the participant resigns for good reason (as such terms are defined in the applicable award agreement).
​
Also, as discussed earlier in this CD&A:
■
The Compensation and Talent Management Committee approved a “Rule of 62” policy, pursuant to which an employee’s outstanding time-based equity awards will vest, based on actual performance at the end of the 3-year performance period in the case of performance stock units, and in each case prorated based upon the employee’s length of employment during the vesting or performance period, as applicable, in the event he or she with at least six months’ notice retires from the Company with at least five years of service and a total of age and years of service at retirement equal to or greater than 62.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
Summary of Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
As described above, each of our named executive officers is entitled to certain benefits in the event his or her employment is terminated under specified circumstances. Circumstances which would trigger payments and/or other benefits to our named executive officers include termination of employment by the Company without cause, termination by the named executive officer for good reason or a change in control of the Company.
The following table sets forth payments and benefits that may be received by our named executive officers in the event of termination for specified reasons and/or a change in control of the Company.
The following information has been prepared based on the assumption that the named executive officer’s employment terminated, or a change in control of the Company occurred, on March 31, 2023. With respect to the accelerated vesting of equity awards, the value of such acceleration was calculated using $62.63, the closing price of our common stock on March 31, 2023, the last trading day of fiscal 2023.

​ | Name | ​ | ​ | Termination by Company Without Cause or Resignation With Good Reason ($)(1) | ​ | ​ | Death/​ Disability ($)(2) | ​ | ​ | Qualifying Termination in Connection with Change in Control ($)(3) | ​

​
(1)
Reflects benefits payable pursuant to the terms and conditions of the executive severance plan (as described in detail above) and assumes that the Compensation and Talent Management Committee does not accelerate the vesting of the unvested portion of the named executive officer’s outstanding equity awards, in which case such unvested awards will be forfeited.
​
(2)
Assumes that the Compensation and Talent Management Committee accelerates the vesting of the unvested portion of the named executive officer’s outstanding stock option and restricted stock unit awards. Accordingly, the amount shown includes the value of the accelerated vesting of restricted stock units and “in-the-money” stock option awards. Per their terms, performance units will remain outstanding and vest on a pro-rata basis based upon actual performance against the pre- established performance criteria (and, therefore, for purposes of this table the value included in this column with respect to outstanding performance units assumes threshold performance).
​
(3)
Assumes that the named executive officer had a qualifying termination in connection with a change in control of the Company. In addition to the severance payments to be received in connection with a qualifying termination following a change in control, the amount shown includes the value of the accelerated vesting of performance stock units (based on target performance), restricted stock units and “in-the-money” stock option awards.

CEO PAY RATIO
CEO PAY RATIO
As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of our CEO. The pay ratio included in this information is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. Given the different methodologies that various public companies will use to determine an estimate of their pay ratio, the estimated ratio reported below should not be used as a basis for comparison between companies.
For 2023, our last completed fiscal year, the median of the annual total compensation of all employees of the Company (other than our CEO) was $86,266, and the annual total compensation of our CEO, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table included in this Proxy Statement, was $5,583,109. Based on this information, for 2023, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was 65 to 1.
For 2023, we identified the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees and determined the annual total compensation of the “median employee,” the methodology and the material assumptions, adjustment and estimates that we used were as follows:
■
For 2023, the “median employee” was selected on March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, we had 562 global employees (full-time, part-time, temporary and seasonal) working at the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.
​
■
To determine our “median employee” from our 2023 employee population, we used a consistently applied compensation definition and chose total taxable wages before deductions for pre-tax items derived from our payroll records.
​
■
We did not exclude any employees and we did not make any cost-of-living adjustments.
​
■
For employees located outside the United States, we applied a currency adjustment based on the average applicable foreign currency exchange rates for the calendar year 2022.
​
■
We determined that the “median employee” is a full-time hourly employee located in the United States, with taxable wages before deductions for pre-tax items for the 12-month period ending March 31, 2023 in the amount of  $86,266.
​
■
With respect to the annual total compensation of the previously identified “median employee,” we calculated the elements of such employee’s compensation for 2023 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, resulting in annual total compensation of  $86,266.
​
■
With respect to the annual total compensation of our CEO, we used the amount reported in the “Total” column (column (j) of our 2023 Summary Compensation Table included in this Proxy Statement.

Required Tabular Disclosure of Most Important Measures to Determine FY2023 AIP
As described in greater detail in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) within the sections titled “Pay for Performance Alignment” and “Annual Incentive Plan”, the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a variable pay-for-performance philosophy. The metrics that the Company uses for both our long-term and short-term incentive awards are selected based on an objective of incentivizing our NEOs to increase the value of our enterprise for our stockholders. The three items listed below represent the most important metrics we used to determine AIP for FY2023.

We believe in the importance of delivering significant value to our stockholders and linking executive pay to our performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA (which is a metric used for purposes of our Annual Incentive Plan — see additional details regarding adjustments in the section titled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Annual Incentive Plan”) represents the most important financial performance measure linking NEO CAP to Company performance because it is indicative of our profitability and impacts our stock price, and accordingly, EBITDA is the “Company-Selected Measure” that is required to be disclosed in accordance with the PvP Rules. We also view Free Cash Flow as an instrumental measure of the Company’s performance as it drives our capital allocation strategy.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Were there any conflict of interest transactions during 2023?
No person or entity had significant business relationships with us since the beginning of fiscal 2023 that would require disclosure under applicable SEC regulations, and no transactions that would need to be disclosed under SEC regulations are currently planned for 2024.
Has the Board adopted a Related Persons Transaction Policy?
The Company adopted a Related Persons Transaction Policy. A summary of the Related Persons Transaction Policy is set forth below and the full text of the Policy is available at the “Investors” tab on our website at www.prestigeconsumerhealthcare.com.
Transactions Subject to the Policy. A Related Person Transaction is a transaction in which the Company (which, for purposes of determining whether a transaction qualifies, includes the Company’s subsidiaries) is or will be a Participant (as defined below), involving an amount exceeding $120,000, and in which any Related Person (as defined below) had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. The term “Participant” is broadly defined to include situations in which the Company is not technically a party but has influenced another party to enter into a transaction or provide value to a Related Person. For example, facilitating the use of a Related Person as a supplier to the Company’s contract manufacturer would constitute “participation” by the Company and bring such an arrangement within the scope of the Policy.
The following transactions are exempt from the Policy:
■
Payment of compensation by the Company to a Related Person for service to the Company in the capacity or capacities that give rise to the person’s status as a Related Person, so long as the compensation is publicly disclosed, if such disclosure is required, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (or Proxy Statement or information statement incorporated by reference into such Annual Report);
​
■
Transactions available to all employees or all stockholders of the Company on the same terms and conditions; and
​
■
Transactions that, when aggregated with the amount of all other transactions between the Related Person and the Company, involve less than $120,000 in a fiscal year.
​
Definition of Related Person. For purposes of the Policy, a “Related Person” means:
■
Any person who is, or at any time since the beginning of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal year was, a director or executive officer of the Company or a nominee to become a director of the Company;
​
■
Any person who is known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of the Company’s voting securities;
​
■
Any Immediate Family Member (as defined in the Policy) of any of the foregoing persons; and
​
■
Any Affiliate (as defined in the Policy) of any of the foregoing persons or Immediate Family Members.
​
Notification Procedures. A transaction with a Related Person that is identified in advance is required to be disclosed to the Company’s General Counsel for review. In the event the Company becomes aware of a transaction with a Related Person that was not disclosed to the Company, the General Counsel will review the transaction. If the General Counsel determines that a transaction is a Related Person Transaction subject to the Policy, he will submit such transaction to the Audit and Finance Committee for consideration at its next meeting or, if it is not practicable or desirable to wait until the next meeting, to the Chair of the Audit and Finance Committee for prompt consideration. The Audit and Finance Committee, or the Chair of the Audit and Finance Committee, is authorized to approve those Related Person Transactions that are in, or are not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and that are consistent with the Company’s Code of Conduct and Ethics and Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Employees, as the Audit and Finance Committee or the Chair of the Audit and Finance Committee determines in good faith. The Audit and Finance Committee or the Chair of the Audit and Finance Committee will consider the relevant facts and circumstances of the Related Person Transaction, including (if applicable) the non-exclusive list of considerations set forth in the Related Persons Transaction Policy. Any ongoing or completed Related Person Transaction that is disapproved by the Audit and Finance Committee or the Chair of the Audit and Finance Committee is subject to corrective action.

Report of the Audit and Finance Committee
This Audit and Finance Committee report shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this Proxy Statement into any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this information by reference and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.
What is the Audit and Finance Committee and are its members “independent”?
The Audit and Finance Committee is composed of four directors appointed by the Board of Directors, all of whom are independent from the Company and its management as independence for audit committee members is defined in the NYSE listing standards and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. The Audit and Finance Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, which is available at the “Investors” tab on our website at www.prestigeconsumerhealthcare.com and is also available in print to any stockholder or other interested party who makes a written request to the Company’s Corporate Secretary. The primary function of the Audit and Finance Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in its oversight and monitoring of our financial reporting and audit process, our system of internal control, our risk assessment process (including with respect to cyber risk and privacy) and our process for monitoring compliance with laws, regulations and policies. The Audit and Finance Committee also recommends to the Board of Directors the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
Are the members of the Audit and Finance Committee “financially literate”?
The members of the Audit and Finance Committee are financially literate as that qualification is interpreted by the Board of Directors and the NYSE. In addition, the Board has determined that each of Messrs. Byom, Coughlin, and Ms. Zier is and Mr. D’Arecca will be an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by SEC regulations.
What is the relationship between management and the Audit and Finance Committee?
Management has the primary responsibility for establishing and monitoring adequate internal accounting and financial controls, the financial reporting process for preparing financial statements, and compliance with the Company’s legal and ethics programs. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and for issuance of a report thereon.
The Audit and Finance Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes and report its findings to the full Board of Directors.
What steps did the Audit and Finance Committee take in recommending that our audited financial statements be included in our annual report?
■
The Audit and Finance Committee met and held discussions separately and jointly with each of management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP regarding the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2023, management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financialreporting and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s audit of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
​
■
Management represented to the Audit and Finance Committee that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, on a consistent basis, and the Audit and Finance Committee has reviewed and discussed the quarterly and annual earnings press releases and consolidated financial statements with management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The Audit and Finance Committee discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP matters required to be discussed by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard No. 1301, as amended, “Communications with Audit Committees.”
​
■
The Audit and Finance Committee also received the written disclosures and the letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP required by PCAOB Rule 3526, “Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence” and discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP their independence. The Audit and Finance Committee also considered whether PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s provision of non-audit services to the Company is compatible with maintaining PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s independence from the Company. The Audit and Finance Committee concluded that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is independent from the Company and its management. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has been the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since at least 1999.

A list of our stockholders will be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose relevant to the meeting, at our headquarters during ordinary business hours for a period of 10 days prior to the Annual Meeting and at the Annual Meeting.
May other matters be raised at the Annual Meeting?
We currently are not aware of any business to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting other than the matters described above.

How will the meeting be conducted?
The Chairman of the meeting has broad authority to conduct the Annual Meeting so that the business of the meeting is carried out in an orderly and timely manner. In doing so, he has broad discretion to establish reasonable rules for discussion, comments and questions during the meeting. The Chairman of the meeting is also entitled to rely upon applicable law regarding disruptions or disorderly conduct to ensure that the Annual Meeting proceeds in a manner that is fair to all participants.

If you own shares registered directly with the Company’s transfer agent, you may vote by the Internet, or by signing and returning the enclosed proxy card. For more information about how to vote, please see the instructions on your proxy card.

Yes. If you are a registered stockholder, to change your vote or revoke your proxy you must:

Abstentions will be counted against this matter. If the proposal is not approved by the required majority vote, the Board of Directors and the Compensation and Talent Management Committee will take into account the result of the vote when determining future executive compensation arrangements, particularly if the votes cast against the resolution exceed the number of votes cast in favor of the resolution.
​
■
Choice of Frequency of Vote on Say on Pay. The approval of the non-binding vote to approve the preferred frequency of the advisory vote on compensation of our named executive officers every one year, two years or three years requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal. Abstentions will be counted against each of the frequency options.
​
What is the effect of not voting?
If you are a stockholder of record and submit a signed proxy without specifying a choice on any given matter to be considered at the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will vote your shares according to the Board’s recommendation on each matter. If you are a stockholder of record and you do not sign and return a proxy card or vote by the Internet, your shares will not count toward the quorum requirement or towards any proposal at the Annual Meeting.
If you hold shares in “street name”, then, under NYSE rules and Delaware law:
■
Election of Directors. With respect to the election of directors, your broker is not entitled to vote your shares on this matter if your broker does not receive instructions from you. A broker non-vote is not considered a vote cast and, therefore, it will have no effect on the election of directors.
​
■
Ratification of Appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. With respect to ratification of the appointment of our independent registered accounting firm, your broker is entitled to vote your shares on this matter if no instructions are received from you, so there will be no broker non-votes on this proposal.
​
■
Approval of Compensation of our Named Executive Officers. With respect to the advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers, your broker is not entitled to vote your shares on this matter if your broker does not receive instructions from you. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this matter.
​
■
Choice of Frequency of Vote on Say on Pay. With respect to the advisory vote to approve the preferred frequency of the advisory vote on compensation of our named executive officers every one year, two years or three years, your broker is not entitled to vote your shares on this matter if your broker does not receive instructions from you. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this matter.
​
How many votes do I have, and can I cumulate my votes?
You have one vote for every share of our common stock that you own. Cumulative voting is not allowed.

​ | In order to support your Board, please sign, date and mail the enclosed proxy card to vote FOR the election of the seven director nominees nominated by your Board, FOR the ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, FOR the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers and FOR an advisory vote on compensation of our named executive officers EVERY ONE YEAR,.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Proxy Statement contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. “Forward- looking statements” generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “assumptions,” “target,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “plans,” “projection,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “potential,” or “continue” ​(or the negative or other derivatives of each of these terms) or similar terminology. These statements are based on management’s estimates and assumptions with respect tofuture events and are believed to be reasonable, although they are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors.

APPENDIX A
About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We are presenting Non-GAAP Organic Revenue as we consider success in this metric as a part of our long term value creation strategy and Adjusted EBITDA because it is a metric included in our Annual Cash Incentive Plan (“AIP”) against which our performance is measured. We define Non-GAAP AIP Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income, plus interest expense, provision for taxes, and depreciation and amortization, with additional adjustments for integration, transition, purchase accounting, legal and various other costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures and business transitions, tradename impairment and tax adjustment associated with acquisitions and loss on disposal of assets and extinguishment of debt.
We define Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income as GAAP Net Income (Loss) before certain integration, transition, acquisition and divestiture-related costs, goodwill and tradename impairment, gain on divestiture, accelerated amortization of debt origination costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, applicable tax impact associated with these items and normalized tax rate adjustment. Reported GAAP is calculated using diluted shares outstanding which were 50,384 for the year ended March 31, 2023.
As was considered by the Compensation and Talent Management Committee (the “Committee”) in determining the May 2020 Performance Grant Payout, Non-GAAP Adjusted Total Net Sales is defined as GAAP Total Revenues less the estimated favorable impact on fiscal 2022 and 2023 results from the Akorn Consumer Health products business acquired during fiscal 2022., and 2) to carry forward from 2021, the Committee’s decision to remove the estimated unfavorable impact to fiscal year 2021 results related to COVID-19, both of which are part of the cumulative three fiscal years started April 1, 2021 and ended March 31, 2023. We defined Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA used for our May 2020 Performance Grant Payout as Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) plus the adjustments stated above and relating to certain non-recurring events for the cumulative three fiscal years started April 1, 2021 and ended March 31, 2023.
The following tables set forth the reconciliation of Organic Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures, to GAAP net income and our most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The tables also reconcile Non-GAAP Adjusted Total Net Sales to GAAP Total Revenues and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP Net Income used for our May 2020 Performance Grant Payout.
