Director Compensation
Director Compensation The Governance & Nominating Committee reviews director compensation annually, and it is the responsibility of this committee to recommend to the Board of Directors any changes in director compensation. The Board of Directors makes the final determination with respect to director compensation. The Governance & Nominating Committee has the authority under its charter to retain outside consultants or advisors to assist it in gathering information and making decisions. The Company uses a combination of cash and equity compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on its Board of Directors. In setting director compensation, the Company considers the time commitment that directors must make in performing their duties, the level of skills required by the Company of its Board members and the market competitiveness of its director compensation levels. Additionally, from time to time, the Company performs a market review with respect to other leading companies of similar size to the Company and with respect to the Company’s peer group, under the supervision of the Governance & Nominating Committee, and upon recommendation of the Company’s independent compensation consultant, to determine the compensation arrangements for the independent directors of the Company. The table below sets forth the schedule of fees paid to non-employee directors for their annual retainer and service in various capacities on Board committees and in Board leadership roles. Employee directors do not receive any additional compensation for serving on the Board or any of its committees.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
| Our Executive Compensation Philosophy Our executive compensation programs are designed to reflect a pay-for-performance philosophy that aligns with the business’s strategy and goals, both short and long-term, and pays for sustained performance, profitable growth, and achievement of results. We generally target the 50th percentile of our peer group and the relevant market as a reference point for positioning target total compensation for our executives(1), with the ability to earn above or below the 50th percentile based on Company and/or individual performance. Key considerations when determining an executive’s compensation include experience, size and scope of role, pay position relative to the market, internal equity, and talent retention. We designed our executive compensation program framework to reward for Company and individual performance, with a focus on the following objectives: • Reasonable but market-competitive base salaries to attract, motivate, and retain executives. • Appropriate balance between short- and long-term incentives and fixed and at-risk incentive compensation, to weigh cost against expected benefit and to align with the creation of shareholder value, including: • Annual cash incentives to drive critical business results each year; and • Long-term equity awards to retain management and incentivize executives to focus on longer-term financial performance and execution of our operational and strategic plans. • Retirement, severance, and other market-competitive benefits to attract executive talent and encourage retention. (1) This is a reference point, not a policy, and actual compensation may be above or below the target level based on Company and/or individual performance. |
Compensation Components
| Short-Term Compensation Cash | • Base salary • Annual Incentive Plan (AIP) | | Long-Term Compensation Equity | • Stock Incentive Plan(2) • 50% restricted stock units (RSUs) • 50% performance stock units (PSUs), with relative TSR modifier | | Other | • Retirement Savings (401(k)) & Executive Deferred Compensation & Retirement Plan • Health & Welfare benefits • Termination-related pay |

Performance Goals and Results
| | | Target | Actual(1) | Achievement | | 2023 AIP (Paid in March 2024) | 2023 Revenue (20%) 2023 AOI (60%) OMR Program AOI Benefit (20%) | $10,346.0 million $325.0 million $30.0 million | $10,337.6 million $315.4 million(2) $40.0+ million | 98% 68% 200% |
Performance Goals and Results
| (1) Shown on a constant currency basis. Revenue was $10,334 million for the year-ended December 31, 2023 and was unfavorably impacted by foreign currency of $3.7 million based on foreign currency rates as of December 31, 2022 and AOI was $304.7 million for the year-ended December 31, 2023 and was unfavorably impacted by foreign currency of $4.3 million based on foreign currency rates as of December 31, 2023. Adjusted Operating Income (non-GAAP), or AOI, and other non-GAAP financial measures included in this Proxy Statement and a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP equivalent financial measure are described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 20, 2024. |
Performance Goals and Results
| (2) In determining achievement of the AOI performance metric under the 2023 AIP, the OP&C Committee considered a portion (approximately $6.4 million) of the costs associated with the Company’s accounts receivable sales program for 2023, which reduced our 2023 AOI but were not contemplated when the OP&C Committee established the original target performance levels. The actual AIP achievement for 2023 AOI would have been approximately 82% had those costs been excluded, resulting in total funding of 109% of target. Accordingly, the actual 2023 AOI metric used for calculating the 2023 AIP achievement is different from the 2023 AOI used for other purposes. |
Summary of Our 2023 Decisions
| Factors That Guided Compensation Decisions | • Executive compensation philosophy • Degree of achievement of key strategic financial and operational goals for 2022 (for base salary, annual bonus payments and equity grant decisions made in early 2023) and for 2023 (for base salary, annual bonus payments and equity grant decisions made in early 2024) • Recommendations of our President and CEO (other than with respect to his own compensation) • Advice of an independent compensation consultant • Shareholder input • Market pay practices • Current and historical Owens & Minor compensation | | 2023 Compensation Program Changes | Annual Incentive Plan: A third financial metric was added to the Annual Incentive Plan, OMR Program AOI benefit. This metric was intended to accelerate profit improvement and reduce costs. The OMR Program AOI benefit had a weighting of 20%. Adjusted AOI remained a metric with an increased weighting at 60%, and Revenue remained as well, with a reduced weighting of 20%. There were no other changes to the compensation program for our NEOs in 2023. | | Key 2023 Compensation Decisions | Base Salary Decisions Effective March 1, 2023, Mr. Bernocchi’s base salary increased 16% to $570,000 when he was appointed Executive Vice President, Chief Executive Officer, Patient Direct. Mr. Bernocchi replaced Mr. Starck who, also in March 2023, assumed the role of Executive Vice President, Business Excellence. There were no other base salary adjustments for our NEOs in 2023. Annual Incentive Plan Decisions As a result of business performance as summarized herein in 2023, the overall annual bonus pool was funded at 100% of the target performance level. The NEOs were awarded annual bonus payments of approximately 100% of their individual target opportunities and were paid in March 2024. Mr. Pesicka’s target annual bonus opportunity increased from 130% of base salary to 145% and Mr. Bernocchi’s target annual bonus opportunity increased from 70% of base salary to 90%. Both increases better align these NEOs’ target annual bonus opportunities to the 50th percentile of the market. Equity Grant Decisions In 2023, the Company granted RSUs and PSUs to the NEOs that can be earned in an amount ranging from 0% to 200% of the number of awarded shares based on the Company’s adjusted EPS performance for the three-year period from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025, and modified based on relative TSR as measured against performance of the Russell 3000 Medical Equipment and Services Sector Index. In addition to his annual award, Mr. Long received a one-time equity award with a grant value of $1,000,000 in March 2023 in recognition of his recent appointment as CEO, Products & Healthcare Services in October of 2022. This award was delivered in RSUs. |

Compensation Factors and Governance
| WHAT WE DON’T DO | | | | No Employment Agreements. We do not have employment agreements with our executive officers. | | | No Hedging. We prohibit our executive officers and directors from hedging against the economic ownership of Company stock. | | | No Pledging. We prohibit our executive officers from pledging Company stock. | | | No Repricing of Equity Awards. Our stock plans do not permit the repricing of equity awards without shareholder approval. | | | No Tax Gross-Ups. We do not provide excise tax gross-ups. |
Compensation Factors and Governance
| • | Limits on Incentive Compensation. We cap our AIP awards at 200% of the executive’s target award to protect against excessive focus on short-term incentives, and the OP&C Committee has discretion to reduce awards based on factors it deems appropriate, including whether officers took unnecessary risks. |
Compensation Factors and Governance
| • | Performance Metrics. We use financial performance metrics for our AIP that emphasize profitable and disciplined growth and require responsible and risk-based decision-making by our executives. We also use operational metrics and specific Management by Objectives (“MBO”s) to reward executives for appropriate decision-making and accomplishment of non-financial goals. |
Compensation Factors and Governance
| • | PSUs/Long-Term Equity Awards. At least half of an executive’s annual equity compensation consists of PSUs with a multi-year performance cycle which focuses management on sustaining the Company’s long-term performance. The other portion of an executive’s annual equity compensation consists of RSU awards that vest over a period of three years and, accordingly, further encourage a focus on long-term performance and support executive retention. |
Compensation Factors and Governance
| • | Share Ownership Guidelines. Our share ownership guidelines ensure that our executives have a substantial stake tied to long-term holdings in Company stock. |
Compensation Factors and Governance
| • | Recoupment Policy. Performance-based cash compensation and equity-based compensation (including both time- and performance-vesting equity awards) granted or paid to our current and former executive officers and other senior executives and employees as the O&PC Committee may from time to time designate are subject to recoupment under circumstances involving a restatement of our financial statements. |
Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant
Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant The OP&C Committee has the authority under its charter to retain independent consultants to assist it in making decisions regarding compensation. In 2023, the OP&C Committee engaged Willis Towers Watson (“WTW”) as its independent consultant to, among other things:
Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant
| • | Analyze competitiveness of each element of compensation and total compensation for each of the NEOs relative to our peer group and industry trends; |
Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant
| • | Provide information regarding executive compensation trends and regulatory changes and developments; and |
Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant
| • | Provide input on annual and long-term incentive design |
Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant
Our consultant reports directly to the OP&C Committee, and, aside from its work with the OP&C Committee and Governance & Nominating Committee, performs no other work for the Company. The OP&C Committee has analyzed whether the work of WTW raised any conflict of interest and has concluded that the work of our advisors, including the individuals employed by our advisors who provide consulting services to the OP&C Committee, have not created, nor are they encumbered by, any conflict of interest. The OP&C Committee also considered and confirmed the independence of legal advisors retained by the OP&C Committee during 2023.
Role of the Executive Compensation Peer Group
Role of the Executive Compensation Peer Group
Role of the Executive Compensation Peer Group
| Each year, we evaluate our compensation levels and programs through comparisons to available information for a group of peer companies selected by the OP&C Committee based in part on recommendations from and analyses prepared by the OP&C Committee’s independent consultant. This evaluation helps us to assess whether our level and mix of executive pay is competitive and reasonable when compared to certain industry standards. The OP&C Committee periodically reviews the peer group to ensure it remains appropriate and relevant as a market reference and modifies the peer group as necessary to reflect changes at the Company, among the peers or within the industry. In 2023, the following primary considerations were evaluated when reviewing existing peers and developing recommendations: • Refine focus on distribution companies. Focus comparisons to health care distribution and/or broader distribution companies as relevant. • Recognize broader healthcare industry. The Company’s long-term focus on the growth of its Global Products and Patient Direct businesses increases the relevance of healthcare equipment/supplies companies, including from an executive talent market perspective. • Balance financials/size criteria. Ensure comparability of peer companies across a range of relevant financial criteria to ensure the Company is appropriately positioned relative to the peer group. | Owens & Minor is reasonably aligned with median revenues when compared to the peer group. We generally target total compensation packages for NEOs to reflect the 50th percentile of our peer group of companies when financial and operational goals are achieved. We design our total compensation packages to provide pay above or below the 50th percentile compared to our peer group when results exceed or do not meet financial and operational goals. |
Role of the Executive Compensation Peer Group
The 12 peer companies we used to inform 2023 compensation decisions are outlined below. Covetrus, Inc. was acquired in October 2022 and is no longer a publicly traded company; as a result, it was removed from our peer group in 2023.
Role of the Executive Compensation Peer Group
| 2023 Peer Companies | | | Baxter International Inc. | ResMed Inc. | | Boston Scientific Corporation | STERIS PLC | | C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. | TD SYNNEX Corporation | | DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. | WESCO International, Inc. | | Henry Schein, Inc. | Quest Diagnostics Incorporated | | Patterson Companies, Inc. | Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc |
Annual Performance-Based Cash Incentives
Annual Performance-Based Cash Incentives We provide annual performance-based cash incentive opportunities to executive officers to incentivize them to achieve our current-year business and financial goals. Each year, the Board approves an annual operating plan, or AOP, that includes financial, strategic, and other goals, and we base annual incentive goals for the executive officers on the approved AOP. The goals include both Company performance and individual MBOs specific to each executive. For 2023, the OP&C Committee again selected a blend of Company financial metrics to assess our NEOs’ performance:
Annual Performance-Based Cash Incentives
| • | 2023 Revenue |
Annual Performance-Based Cash Incentives
| • | 2023 AOI |
Annual Performance-Based Cash Incentives
| • | 2023 OMR Program AOI Benefit |
Annual Performance-Based Cash Incentives
The OP&C Committee also structured our 2023 AIP to include MBOs as performance metrics that allow for a modifier of incentive compensation earned by the NEOs. The relative weighting of each of these metrics is set forth in the table below.
Annual Performance-Based Cash Incentives
| | Corporate Performance | | | | Individual Performance | | Measure | Revenue | AOI | OMR Program AOI Benefit | modified by | MBOs | | Weighting | 20% | 60% | 20% | | +/- 35% |
2023 Company Financial Metrics and Performance
The OP&C Committee approved the 2023 Revenue, AOI, and the OMR Program goals and related compensation levels based on a conclusion that they provided a reasonable opportunity to achieve a bonus at the target level and an appropriately challenging stretch opportunity for performance in excess of target. The approved annual cash incentive program included a threshold level of performance that must be attained to receive any cash incentive payout; a target level of performance, which, if attained, would result in a 100% of target cash incentive payout; and a maximum level of 200% of target for any cash incentive award. For achievement levels above threshold but below target, or above target but below maximum, payout amounts are calculated based on a straight-line interpolation of the achievement level above threshold or target, as applicable. The threshold, target, and maximum levels of the 2023 AIP and associated 2023 performance are set forth in the table below. These financial goals are set on a constant currency basis so performance can be measured without positive or negative impact from currency fluctuations that are largely outside of the NEOs’ control. The financial performance resulted in overall funding for the AIP at 100% of the target performance level.
2023 Company Financial Metrics and Performance
| Performance Metric | Threshold (AIP 0%) | Target (AIP 100%) | Maximum (AIP 200%) | Actual(1) | Actual AIP Achievement | | 2023 Revenue (20%) | < $9,829.0 million | $10,346.0 million | ≥ $10,863.0 million | $10,337.6 million | 98% | | 2023 AOI (60%) | < $295.0 million | $325.0 million | ≥ $353.0 million | $315.4 million(2) | 68% | | OMR Program AOI Benefit (20%) | $20.0 million | $30.0 million | $40.0 million | $40.0+ million | 200% |
2023 Company Financial Metrics and Performance
| (2) In determining achievement of the AOI performance metric under the 2023 AIP, the OP&C Committee considered a portion (approximately $6.4 million) of the costs associated with the Company’s accounts receivable sales program for 2023, which reduced our 2023 AOI but were not contemplated when the OP&C Committee established the original target performance levels. The actual AIP achievement for 2023 AOI would have been approximately 82% had those costs been excluded, resulting in total funding of 109% of target. Accordingly, the actual 2023 AOI metric used for calculating the 2023 AIP achievement is different from the 2023 AOI used for other purposes. |
2023 NEO MBOs and Performance
| • | Allow for negative discretion to reduce a bonus award where the NEO has not successfully performed his MBOs. |
2023 AIP Awards
2023 AIP Awards In early 2024, considering the Company’s financial performance and MBO performance by the NEOs as discussed above, the OP&C Committee approved cash incentive payments as follows:
2023 AIP Awards
| | Target (% of Base Salary) | Target Award Opportunity ($) | Actual Amount Awarded ($) | Actual (% of Target ) | | Edward A. Pesicka | 145% | $1,450,000 | $1,450,000 | 100% | | Alexander J. Bruni | 80% | $420,000 | $420,000 | 100% | | Andrew G. Long | 90% | $585,000 | $614,250 | 105%(1) | | Perry A. Bernocchi | 90% | $513,000 | $494,573(2) | 100% | | Daniel J. Starck | 120% | $780,000 | $780,000 | 100% |
2023 AIP Awards
| (1) The OP&C Committee awarded Mr. Long an additional 5% for the successful transformation of the P&HS segment. |
2023 AIP Awards
| (2) Mr. Bernocchi had a lower target annual incentive opportunity of 70% of annual base salary prior to becoming an NEO in March 2023, at which time, his target annual incentive opportunity was increased to 90% of his annual base salary. The actual amount awarded reflects his weighted target percentages awarded at 100% for 2023 based on relative portions of the 2023 fiscal year in which he served in each role. |
Long-Term Incentives
Long-Term Incentives Equity grants help to align executive interests with those of our shareholders. The OP&C Committee considers Company performance, individual performance, long-term potential, and market practices when determining the value and type (e.g., RSU versus PSU) of equity awarded to our executives.
Our Equity Granting Practices
Our Equity Granting Practices The equity awards granted to our NEOs in 2023 were made under our 2018 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, which permitted us to grant non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock awards, performance share awards, PSU awards, and stock appreciation rights. On May 11, 2023, our shareholders approved the 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan, replacing the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan. Our 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan permits us to award grants of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, performance awards (including PSU awards) and stock appreciation rights. Except in instances of initial executive hiring, promotions, retention concerns and similar circumstances, we grant equity awards to executive officers one-time each year (generally at the time we review prior year’s performance and set current year compensation). This process occurs in the first quarter of the year, and the grant date is typically after the release of the prior year’s earnings and the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC. The OP&C Committee’s decision to grant equity-based awards is discretionary and based upon the executive’s position, performance, expected future performance and the span of control in his or her role. We strive to maintain an appropriate balance between the aggregate number of shares used for equity grants (relative to the competitive landscape) and shareholder interests.
Our 2023 Awards
| • | 50% time-based vesting RSUs that vest ratably over a three-year period during which the officer is continuously employed by or providing services to the Company; and |
Our 2023 Awards
| • | 50% PSUs that are earned based on achievement of designated performance metrics over a three-year period, subject to the officer’s continued employment by or service to the Company. |
Our 2023 Awards
We believe that the mix between RSUs and PSUs helps provide a balance between linking compensation to the achievement of multi-year performance goals and strengthening the alignment of management and shareholder interests by creating meaningful levels of Company stock ownership by management. Grant values are based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The 2023 PSU grant design maintained a three-year performance period. The PSU metric is a three-year cumulative adjusted EPS; in addition, the OP&C Committee added relative TSR as a modifier to further enhance the alignment of our executives with shareholder returns relative to that of other companies in the performance index. On March 1, 2023, the Company granted RSUs to Messrs. Pesicka, Bruni, Long, Bernocchi, and Starck. Also on March 1, 2023, in addition to the annual award, Mr. Long received a one-time award of RSUs with a grant value of $1,000,000 in recognition of his recent appointment as CEO, P&HS in October of 2022. The following table shows the annual long-term incentive awards granted to the NEOs in 2023:

Our 2023 Awards
| (1) In addition to his annual equity grant, Mr. Long received a one-time RSU award with a target grant value of $1,000,000. |
Recoupment Policy
Recoupment Policy In an effort to mitigate any imprudent risk-taking behavior associated with incentive compensation, the Company has a policy that provides for the recoupment of performance-based cash compensation and all equity compensation (including both time- and performance-vesting equity awards) granted or paid to our current and former executive officers and other senior executives and teammates as the OP&C Committee may from time to time designate under circumstances involving a restatement of our financial statements. Performance-based compensation is recoverable from an executive officer (i) in the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of its financial statements due to the Company’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under applicable securities laws (an “Accounting Restatement”) and (ii) a lower payment would have been made to the executive officer based upon the restated financial results. In addition, upon an Accounting Restatement, time-based equity compensation is recoverable in amounts as determined by the OP&C Committee. The recoupment policy does not apply to covered compensation after the third anniversary of the date on which such compensation was paid. Our recoupment policy complies with the NYSE’s clawback rules promulgated under Section 10D of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder.

Pension Benefits
Pension Benefits Our NEOs do not participate in any defined benefit pension plans.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan The Company maintains an Executive Deferred Compensation and Retirement Plan (“EDCP”) in which members of senior management, including our NEOs, and other certain management-level teammates are eligible to elect to defer portions of their compensation to save for retirement or other life events. The EDCP permits participants to defer up to 75% of their base salary and up to 100% of their annual cash incentive. The EDCP provides for similar investment options as our 401(k) Plan. The Company matches an additional 1% of the compensation deferred into the EDCP. EDCP accounts are paid out based on the participant’s election at the time of the deferral, subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and may be paid in a lump sum, a series of annual installments, or monthly installment. Participants may elect to receive these distributions upon separation from service or upon the occurrence of one or more specified dates. All EDCP accounts are considered unfunded general contractual obligations and are subject to the claims of our general, unsecured creditors. The Company maintains the Apria Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Apria DCP”), a nonqualified plan, into which Apria executives (participants prior to the Company’s acquisition of Apria, Inc. on March 29, 2022) may defer up to 50% of their salary, up to 75% of their annual bonus and 100% of their annual 401(k) plan refund offset amount. In 2023, the Company matched 100% of participant Apria DCP contributions, up to 3.5% of the participant’s salary. Participants are 100% vested in matching contributions if they remain employed at the end of the applicable year. Apria DCP accounts are paid based on the participant’s election at the time of the deferral, subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and may be paid in a lump sum or a series of annual installments. Participants may elect to receive these distributions upon separation from service or upon the occurrence of one or more specified dates. The Apria DCP was frozen at the end of 2023, and participants were given the opportunity to elect to participate in the EDCP for 2024. The following table sets forth information regarding contributions to, earnings on and total balances in the EDCP or Apria DCP, as applicable, for the NEOs in 2023.

Pay Ratio Disclosure
Pay Ratio Disclosure 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 teammates and the annual total compensation of Mr. Pesicka, our President and Chief Executive Officer. The pay ratio included in this information is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. As disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table, the 2023 annual total compensation as determined under Item 402 of Regulation S-K for Mr. Pesicka was $8,389,910. The 2023 annual total compensation as determined under item 402 of Regulation S-K for the median teammate was $40,143. Based on the foregoing, our estimate of the ratio of Mr. Pesicka’s annual total compensation to the median teammate’s annual total compensation for 2023 is 209 to 1. Given the different methodologies that various public companies will use to determine an estimate of their pay ratios, the estimated ratio reported above should not be used as a basis for comparison between companies. On December 31, 2023, we and our subsidiaries employed a total of over 22,200 teammates. For 2023, we identified the median teammate based on total target compensation of each teammate within our global workforce as set forth in our human resources databases on December 31, 2023, which included target salary, cash bonus, equity compensation, and other compensation. We believe this method reflects a reasonable estimate for actual compensation paid. For the approximately 8,500 teammates outside the U.S., we converted their compensation to U.S. dollars using prevailing exchange rates as of December 31, 2023. We calculated the total annual compensation for the “median teammate” for 2023 in the same way Mr. Pesicka’s total annual compensation was calculated in the Summary Compensation Table. The integration of the Apria, Inc. population in 2023 which consisted of approximately 6,400 teammates, greatly reduced the CEO pay ratio.

Charges excluded from Adjusted EPS and other non-GAAP financial measures include intangible amortization, acquisition-related and exit and realignment charges, and other adjustments. Adjusted EPS and other non-GAAP financial measures included in this Proxy Statement and a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP equivalent financial measure for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020 are described in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 20, 2024, February 28, 2023 and February 23, 2022. |
