Board Governance
- Committee assignments: Audit Committee (member) and Directors & Corporate Governance Committee (member) .
- Audit Committee is designated “financial expert” for all current members, including Moeller, reflecting his CFO experience .
- Independence: Board affirmed Moeller’s independence; no related person transaction applies; selected with no special arrangements .
- Attendance and engagement: Board met nine times in 2024, and each director attended at least 75% of board and committee meetings during their tenure; independent directors hold executive sessions at each regular board meeting led by the Lead Independent Director .
- Committee activity levels (context): Audit Committee met 7 times in 2024; Directors & Corporate Governance Committee met 3 times .
- Governance signals: Board is seeking shareholder approval to eliminate the classified board and supermajority voting—responsive to investor feedback and strengthens accountability .
- Outside board service limits: Executives of a public company may serve on no more than two public company boards (inclusive of Lilly); Moeller’s service (P&G + Lilly) aligns with policy .

Performance Compensation

Equity Ownership
| Holder | Shares Owned | Stock Units Distributable Within 60 Days | Percent of Class | Stock Units Not Distributable Within 60 Days | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jonathan (Jon) Moeller | 71 | — | * | — | None of the stock or units listed for insiders were pledged; star denotes <1% |
Ownership alignment policies:
- Stock ownership guideline: 5x annual board retainer for non-employee directors; five-year compliance window for new directors .
- 67% of standard director pay is in equity (annual DSUs), promoting alignment; total director pay is capped .
- Insider trading procedure applies to directors and officers; promotes compliance with securities laws/NYSE standards .
Governance Assessment
Positives for investor confidence:
- Independent status confirmed; placed on high-scrutiny committees (Audit; Directors & Corporate Governance) with financial expert designation—supports robust oversight of financial reporting, enterprise risk, and governance .
- Director compensation structure skews to equity (DSUs), with 5x ownership guideline and an annual compensation cap—strong alignment and guardrails .
- Board responsiveness: Management proposals to declassify the board and remove supermajority provisions reflect alignment with best practices and shareholder input .
- Attendance culture: Board-wide expectation met in 2024; independent director executive sessions each regular meeting .
Watch items / potential risks:
- External commitments: As a sitting CEO/Chair of P&G, time demands merit monitoring; however, Lilly’s “other board service” policy caps executives of public companies at two public boards inclusive of Lilly—Moeller complies (P&G + Lilly) .
- Related parties: No related person transactions were reportable in 2024; continue to monitor any future Lilly–P&G dealings under Lilly’s rigorous related-person policy and preapproval process .
Contextual governance safeguards:
- Compensation recovery (clawback) policy aligned with NYSE rules; prohibition of executive hedging/pledging; strong share ownership and retention guidelines; majority voting with resignation policy .
- Strong say-on-pay support (95% in 2024; >94% for each of the last five years) indicates broad shareholder confidence in compensation governance, though this pertains to executives rather than directors .
