 Dear Steve: 

Congratulations on your offer of employment! Catalent is the leading provider of pharmaceutical development services, drug-delivery technologies,
manufacturing and packaging services to the global pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. We take great pride in hiring executives who have talent, drive and commitment, and we are extremely delighted to have you join our
team. 
 Attached is important information about our organization, your individual position, benefits and rewards. I encourage you to review all
materials thoroughly and contact me with questions. 
 I am pleased to confirm in writing our offer of employment to you. The major provisions
of your offer are: 
  

	 	1.	Position: Your position is Senior Vice President, Global Operations reporting directly to myself. As the SVP of Global Operations you will also be a member of

	 	3.	Sign-On Bonus: You will receive a sign on bonus of $200,000, to be paid within 30 days from the start of your employment. Please note all applicable taxes and
