Hospira Officer Equity Ownership Guidelines The following share ownership guidelines for Hospira’s non-employee directors and its corporate officers. The guidelines are included in Hospira’s Corporate Governance Guidelines dated May 11, 2010, as Exhibit D. Stock Ownership for Directors. Directors are encouraged to make a substantial investment in stock of the Company. Accordingly, the Board of Directors set minimum stock ownership guidelines for directors. Each non-employee director is required to own the minimum number of shares of Hospira common stock whose aggregate value is equal to five times such director’s annual retainer fees. The minimum target must be attained within five years of joining the Board, and includes restricted stock, restricted stock units, and deferred stock units awarded to non-employee directors. Stock Ownership for Officers. Officers are encouraged to make a substantial investment in stock of the Company. Accordingly, the Board of Directors set minimum stock ownership guidelines for officers. These ownership requirements are reviewed annually. Each officer is expected to attain this ownership target within five years of becoming a corporate officer or five years of the adoption of these share ownership guidelines. The target number of shares can be satisfied with stock held through Hospira’s 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan, restricted stock, and performance shares that have been earned. If the guideline is not met within the required time frame, the officer will be required to hold all stock from stock option exercises and restricted share vestings (in both cases, less shares withheld to pay taxes) until the guideline is met.
