After 20 years of dedicated service, Patrick Zenner informed West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (the “Company”) on February 22, 2022, of his intention to retire and not to stand for re-election as Chairman to the Company’s Board of Directors ("Board") at the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders, scheduled to be held on May 24, 2022 (the “Annual Meeting”). Mr. Zenner will continue to actively serve on the Company’s Board until the Annual Meeting. Mr. Zenner has informed the Company that there is no disagreement between him and the Company on any matter relating to its operations, polices or practices.

In accordance with West's corporate governance principles, when the roles of Chair and CEO are combined, the Board will appoint a Lead Independent Director. Accordingly, West has appointed Paolo Pucci as the Lead Independent Director for the Board of Directors, effective at the Annual Meeting.
