Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

As previously disclosed, on December 13, 2012, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee (the “CHR Committee”) of Patheon Inc. (the “Company” or “Patheon”) adopted the 2013 Patheon Global Bonus Plan (the “2013 Bonus Plan”) to reward eligible participants (including the Company’s executive officers) for their collective and individual contributions to the Company’s success during fiscal 2013. Under the 2013 Bonus Plan, the Company’s executive officers’ bonus eligibility was determined based solely on the achievement of certain predetermined corporate objectives and their individual performance ratings. For purposes of determining each executive officer’s payout, Corporate Adjusted EBITDA was assigned a weighting of 50%, and Corporate Net Free Cash Flow and Corporate Revenue were each assigned a weighting of 25%. The payout with respect to achievement of any one corporate objective was not conditioned on the achievement of any other corporate objective.

On December 17, 2013, the CHR Committee determined that although the Company achieved or exceeded the minimum Corporate Revenue objective under the 2013 Bonus Plan, the Company did not achieve the minimum Corporate Adjusted EBITDA and Corporate Net Free Cash Flow objectives. Accordingly, the Company’s executive officers were only eligible to receive payouts with respect to corporate performance based on the achievement of the Corporate Revenue objective. Although the Company did not achieve the minimum Corporate Adjusted EBITDA and Corporate Net Free Cash Flow objectives, the CHR Committee decided to award discretionary cash bonuses to, among others, the Company’s chief executive officer, its chief financial officer, and certain of its other named executive officers as disclosed in the Proxy Statement and Information Circular for the Company’s 2013 Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders. These bonuses were in addition to the amounts payable to these executive officers under the 2013 Bonus Plan.

The CHR Committee determined that awarding these discretionary cash bonuses was consistent with its pay-for-performance philosophy because, among other things, the CHR Committee determined that the Company advanced its initiatives with respect to site closures, operational excellence programs, procurement and activities related to the integration of Sobel USA Inc. and Banner Pharmacaps Europe B.V. (collectively, “Banner”) and that each of these individuals has made significant contributions to the Company’s success. In addition, the CHR Committee determined that the achievement of the Corporate Adjusted EBITDA and Corporate Net Free Cash Flow objectives under the 2013 Bonus Plan (which metrics were not adjusted following the acquisition of Banner) was negatively impacted by financing, transaction, synergy and operational costs associated with the acquisition of Banner. The additional discretionary bonuses awarded to these individuals were as follows:
