Dear [NAME],


 


Appointment as Non-Executive Director


 


 


 


Appointment


 


Following our recent discussions, I am
pleased to confirm my invitation to you to join the board of directors (the “Board”) of Patheon N.V. (the “Company”)
as a Non-Executive Director. In addition to your acceptance and acknowledgment of this appointment letter, please complete and
return the attached Directors’ and Officers’ Questionnaire (the “D&O Questionnaire”) in accordance
with the accompanying instructions and the attached Consent of Director Nominee.


 


In completing the D&O Questionnaire,
you consent to serve as a director of the Company and you consent to the Company’s use of the information in the D&O
Questionnaire in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ
Stock Market LLC, state governments and other regulatory authorities.


 


You agree to perform your responsibilities
as a director in good faith and in accordance with applicable law, the organizational documents of the Company and other policies
and procedures applicable to such services. The Company’s Board will appoint you as a Non-Executive Director effective as
of pricing of the Company’s upcoming initial public offering (the “Effective Date”). The continuation of your
appointment is contingent on re-election at forthcoming annual stockholders’ meetings.


 


You will not be employed by the Company
and will be free to pursue your other interests. We ask that you please disclose these interests to our General Counsel so that
the Company can identify any appearance of conflict arising from our activities that may in the future intersect with yours. In
addition, we ask that you comply with any other requirements related to service on other boards of directors that may be included
in our organizational documents or Corporate Governance Guidelines. We expect that you will be considered to be an independent
Non-Executive Director and will be identified as such in the annual report and other documentation. If circumstances change, and
you believe that your independence may be in doubt, please discuss this with our General Counsel.
