Carros, France - Press release issued on August 18 2025, 9:30am


The board of directors of Virbac specifies Paul Martingell's compensation terms
as chief executive officer.

The board of directors, acting upon the recommendation of the appointments and
compensation committee, has approved the compensation terms for Paul Martingell for
the duration of his mandate, as detailed below. In accordance with applicable regulations,
Paul Martingell's compensation elements will be submitted for the approval of the
shareholders ("ex ante" and "ex post" votes).

Fixed compensation
The board of directors has set Paul Martingell's gross annual fixed compensation at
€600,000, which includes any other forms of remuneration related to mandates Paul
Martingell may hold within the Virbac group.

For the year 2025, the gross fixed compensation will be calculated pro rata based on Paul
Martingell's effective presence at Virbac, specifically from September 1, 2025, to
December 31, 2025.

Short-term variable compensation
The board of directors has set Paul Martingell's gross annual short-term variable
compensation as follows:
- for fiscal year 2025: 60% of the prorated annual fixed compensation, based on
100% achievement of objectives set by the board of directors (representing a target
amount of €90,000 gross);
- for fiscal year 2026: 60% of the annual fixed compensation, based on 100%
achievement of objectives to be set by the board of directors (representing a target
amount of €360,000 gross);
- for fiscal year 2027: 65% of the annual fixed compensation, based on 100%
achievement of objectives to be set by the board of directors (representing a target
amount of €390,000 gross);
- for fiscal year 2028: 70% of the annual fixed compensation, based on 100%
achievement of objectives to be set by the board of directors (representing a target
amount of €420,000 gross).

For each fiscal year, the achievement rate for each objective and the variable
compensation due will be measured by the board of directors during the first quarter of
the subsequent fiscal year, following the approval of Virbac's annual financial statements.

Long-term incentive (LTI) compensation
The board of directors has decided that Paul Martingell will be granted 1,000 performance
shares under the performance share plan established during its meeting on March 12,
2025.
Subject to the implementation of future performance share plans and Paul Martingell's
continued presence within the Virbac group, the number of performance shares that may
be awarded to him under each plan will correspond to an amount equivalent to his gross
annual fixed compensation (based on the average share price observed in February), with
a limit of 1,500 performance shares.


Exceptional compensation: onboarding bonus
To compensate for benefits lost upon resigning from his previous role to join Virbac, the
board of directors has decided to grant Paul Martingell:
- a welcome bonus amounting to €500,000 gross in cash, half of which will be paid
upon his effective start date and the other half after one year of work with the
company.
- an exceptional award of 3,000 performance shares under a performance share plan
specifically established in the weeks following his arrival. Under this plan, Paul
Martingell's acquisition of performance shares will occur in two tranches:
. 2,000 performance shares will be acquired after a two-year presence period
following their grant date, provided the company achieves an Ebit adjusted greater
than 10%.
. 1,000 performance shares will be acquired after a three-year presence period
following their grant date, provided the company achieves an Ebit adjusted greater
than 10%.
In accordance with principles set by the board of directors, the chief executive officer must
retain 35% of the performance shares granted as long as he is active within the group.

This retention commitment will no longer apply if the chief executive officer has built a
portfolio of registered Virbac shares equivalent to three years of his target annual
compensation (gross fixed compensation + gross target variable compensation).

The board of directors, based on the recommendation of the appointments and
compensation committee, has decided that Paul Martingell will receive the following
additional compensation elements and benefits.

● Social security, healthcare, contingency, and retirement benefit schemes
Paul Martingell will benefit from the French social security, healthcare, supplementary

by the company and declared as a benefit in kind.

● Company car
Paul Martingell will be provided with a company car, which will be declared as a benefit in
kind according to applicable tax regulations.

● Relocation to the Nice region
The company will cover Paul Martingell's relocation and settling-in costs, as well as the
expenses for a furnished rental for four months, up to a monthly rent of €2,000.

● Non-compete agreement and indemnity
The board of directors has decided that Paul Martingell will be subject to a non-compete
clause, under which he will be prohibited from working, holding any corporate office, or
otherwise engaging, directly or indirectly, in any group or company involved in the
research, development, manufacturing, and/or marketing of animal health products, in
countries where Virbac has a subsidiary or equity interest.
This non-compete obligation will be limited to a period of eighteen (18) months starting
from the effective cessation of his corporate office within the company.
In consideration of this non-compete obligation, Paul Martingell will receive a monthly
indemnity throughout the duration of the non-compete period. This indemnity will be equal
to eighty (80) percent of his gross monthly fixed compensation received during the
company's last closed fiscal year (including attendance fees and all other remuneration
related to his mandates within the Virbac group).

This indemnity will be capped at six hundred thousand (€600,000) gross for this eighteen
(18) month period.
The board of directors reserves the right to waive the enforcement of this non-compete
clause for Paul Martingell. In such a case, no indemnity will be due.
