the election of two Class III Directors to serve until the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified;

•

a proposal to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers;

•

a proposal to ratify the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2023; and

•

such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

Our Board of Directors recommends a vote:

•

•

“FOR,” on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement; and

•

“FOR” the ratification of the selection of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2023.

Who is entitled to vote?

Holders of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock as of the close of business on the Record Date may vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 20,337,574 shares of our Class A common stock outstanding and 20,166,034 shares of our Class B common stock outstanding. Our Class A common stock and Class B common stock are entitled to one vote and ten votes per share, respectively. In deciding all matters at the Annual Meeting, each eligible stockholder of Class A common stock will be entitled to one vote for each share of our Class A common stock held by him or her on the Record Date and each eligible stockholder of Class B common stock will be entitled to ten votes for each share of our Class B common stock held by him or her on the Record Date. We do not have cumulative voting rights for the election of directors.

Registered Stockholders. If shares of our common stock are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and the Notice was provided to you directly by us. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the individuals listed on the proxy card or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

Street Name Stockholders. If shares of our common stock are held on your behalf in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of those shares held in “street

TABLE OF CONTENTS

name,” and the Notice was forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other nominee, who is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares. Beneficial owners are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares of our common stock in person at the Annual Meeting unless you follow your broker’s, bank’s or other nominee’s procedures for obtaining a legal proxy. If you request a printed copy of our proxy materials by mail, your broker, bank or other nominee will provide a voting instruction card for you to use. Throughout this proxy statement, we refer to stockholders who hold their shares through a broker, bank or other nominee as “street name stockholders.”

How many votes are needed for approval of each proposal?

•

Proposal No. 1: The election of directors requires a plurality vote of the combined voting power of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon, voting together as one class, to be approved. “Plurality” means that the nominees who receive the largest number of votes cast “for” are elected as directors. As a result, any shares not voted “for” a particular nominee (whether as a result of stockholder abstention or a broker non-vote) will not be counted in such nominee’s favor and will have no effect on the outcome of the election. You may vote “for” or “withhold” on each of the nominees for election as a director.

•

Proposal No. 2: Approval, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, of the compensation paid to the named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the combined voting power of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon, voting together as one class. Abstentions are considered votes present and entitled to vote on this proposal, and thus, will have the same effect as a vote “against” the proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

•

Proposal No. 3: The ratification of the selection of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the combined voting power of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon, voting together as one class. Abstentions are considered votes present and entitled to vote on this proposal, and thus, will have the same effect as a vote “against” the proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

What is a quorum?

A quorum is the minimum number of shares required to be present at the Annual Meeting for the Annual Meeting to be properly held under our amended and restated bylaws and Delaware law. The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority in voting power of all issued and outstanding shares of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions, withheld votes and broker non-votes are counted as shares present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum.

How do I vote?

If you are a stockholder of record, there are two ways to vote:

•

by completing and mailing your proxy card; or

•

by written ballot at the Annual Meeting.

If you are a street name stockholder, you will receive voting instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee. You must follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee in order to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares. Street name stockholders should generally be able to vote by returning an instruction card, or by telephone or on the internet. However, the availability of telephone and internet voting will depend on the voting process of your broker,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

bank or other nominee. As discussed above, if you are a street name stockholder, you may not vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee.

Can I change my vote?

Yes. If you are a stockholder of record, you can change your vote or revoke your proxy by:

•

returning a later-dated proxy card before the Annual Meeting;

•

notifying the Corporate Secretary of Phibro Animal Health Corporation in writing, which notification must be received prior to the Annual Meeting, at Phibro Animal Health Corporation, Glenpointe Centre East, 3rd Floor, 300 Frank W. Burr Blvd., Suite 21, Teaneck, NJ 07666; or

•

completing a written ballot at the Annual Meeting.

If you are a street name stockholder, your broker, bank or other nominee can provide you with instructions on how to change your vote.

What is the effect of giving a proxy?

Proxies are solicited by and on behalf of our Board of Directors. Thomas G. Dagger and Anthony Andolino have been designated as proxies by our Board of Directors. When proxy cards are properly dated, validly executed and returned, the shares represented by such proxy cards will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder. If no specific instructions are given on a properly dated, validly executed and returned proxy card, however, the shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board of Directors as described above. If any matters not described in this proxy statement are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will use their own judgment to determine how to vote the shares. If the Annual Meeting is adjourned, the proxy holders can vote the shares on the new Annual Meeting date as well, unless you have properly revoked your proxy instructions, as described above.

Why did I receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?

In accordance with the rules of the SEC, we have elected to furnish our proxy materials, including this proxy statement and our annual report, primarily via the internet. The Notice containing instructions on how to access our proxy materials is first being mailed on or about September 19, 2022 to all stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders may request to receive all future proxy materials in printed form by mail by following the instructions contained in the Notice. We encourage stockholders to take advantage of the availability of our proxy materials on the internet to help reduce the environmental impact of our annual meetings of stockholders.

How are proxies solicited for the Annual Meeting?

Our Board of Directors is soliciting proxies for use at the Annual Meeting. All expenses associated with this solicitation will be borne by us. We will reimburse brokers, banks or other nominees for reasonable expenses that they incur in sending our proxy materials to you if a broker, bank or other nominee holds shares of our common stock on your behalf. In addition, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. Our directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies.

How may my brokerage firm or other intermediary vote my shares if I fail to provide timely directions?

Brokerage firms and other intermediaries holding shares of our common stock in street name for customers are generally required to vote such shares in the manner directed by their customers. In the absence of timely directions, your broker will have discretion to vote your shares on our “routine matters.” Our sole “routine matter” is Proposal 3, the proposal to ratify the selection of PwC as our auditor for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. Your broker will not have discretion to vote on the election of directors or on an advisory basis on the compensation of our named executive officers, which are “non-routine” matters, absent direction from you.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

We will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. We will also disclose voting results on a Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting, we will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and will provide the final results in an amendment to such Current Report on Form 8-K as soon as they become available.

Is my vote confidential?

Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within Phibro or to third parties, except as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements, to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote, or to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation.

Who will serve as inspector of elections?

The inspector of elections will be Thomas G. Dagger, who is the Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Phibro Animal Health Corporation.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROPOSAL ONE — ELECTION OF CLASS III DIRECTORS

General

Our Board of Directors may establish the authorized number of directors from time to time by resolution. Our Board of Directors is currently comprised of eight members who are divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. A director serves in office until his or her respective successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death or resignation. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes our Board of Directors to fill vacancies on our Board of Directors until the next annual meeting of stockholders at which the directors of the class in which such vacancy occurred will be elected. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors would be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class would consist of one-third of the authorized number of directors. Your proxy cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named in this proxy statement.

Nominees

Two Class III Directors have been nominated for election for a three-year term expiring at our 2025 annual meeting. Our Board of Directors has approved and nominated Jack C. Bendheim and E. Thomas Corcoran for election as the two Class III Directors.

Vote Required

The election of directors requires a plurality vote of the combined voting power of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon, voting together as one class, to be approved. “Plurality” means that the nominees who receive the largest number of votes cast “for” are elected as directors. As a result, any shares not voted “for” a particular nominee (whether as a result of stockholder abstention or a broker non-vote) will not be counted in such nominee’s favor and will have no effect on the outcome of the election. You may vote “for” or “withhold” on each of the nominees for election as a director.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE CLASS III NOMINEES NAMED ABOVE.

PROPOSAL TWO — ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER
COMPENSATION

We became a public company in April 2014, and we have previously filed our proxy statements under the reduced reporting rules applicable to emerging growth companies. As of the close of our fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, we ceased to be an emerging growth company and, as we did at our 2019 annual meeting, we are offering our stockholders an opportunity to cast an advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement, pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, which was added by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act enacted in July 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) (commonly referred to as a “say-on-pay” vote). Although the vote is non-binding, we value continuing and constructive feedback from our stockholders on executive compensation and other important matters and we expect to hold this vote on a triennial basis for the foreseeable future. The Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee will consider the voting results when making future compensation decisions.

As described under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” in this proxy statement, the primary objective of our executive compensation program is to retain and motivate our core team of highly qualified executives, including our named executive officers, and align their compensation with our business objectives and with the interests of our stockholders.

The Board encourages our stockholders to read the disclosures set forth in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement to review the correlation between compensation and performance, as well as compensation actions taken in our fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. The Board believes that our executive compensation program effectively aligns executive pay with our performance and results in the attraction and retention of talented executives who are critical to the Company’s success.

Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that our stockholders vote FOR the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and related narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED on an advisory basis.”

Because the vote is advisory, it is not binding on management or the Board. Nevertheless, the views expressed by our stockholders, whether through this vote or otherwise, are important to management and the Board and, accordingly, the Compensation Committee and the Board intend to consider the results of this vote in making determinations in the future regarding executive compensation arrangements. Your vote will serve as an additional tool to guide the Compensation Committee and the Board in continuing to improve the alignment of our executive compensation programs with business objectives and performance and with the interests of our stockholders.

Vote Required

Approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation paid to the named executive officers, as disclosed in the proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the combined voting power of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon, voting together as one class. Abstentions are considered votes present and entitled to vote on this proposal, and thus, will have the same effect as a vote “against” the proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

PROPOSAL THREE — RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Our audit committee (“Audit Committee”) has selected PwC, an independent registered public accounting firm, to audit our consolidated financial statements for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. During our fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, PwC served as our independent registered public accounting firm and our Board has previously selected PwC to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2022, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023. The engagement letter that we have entered into with PwC with respect to these fiscal quarters is subject to alternative dispute resolution procedures including, under certain circumstances, binding arbitration. A representative of PwC will be present at the Annual Meeting to make a statement if they desire to do so. They will also be available to answer appropriate questions from stockholders.

Notwithstanding the selection of PwC and even if our stockholders ratify the selection, our Audit Committee, in its discretion, may select another independent registered public accounting firm at any time during our fiscal year if our Audit Committee believes that such a change would be in the best interests of Phibro Animal Health Corporation and its stockholders. At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders are being asked to ratify the selection of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. Our Audit Committee is submitting the selection of PwC to our stockholders because we value our stockholders’ views on our independent registered public accounting firm and as a matter of good corporate governance.

If our stockholders do not ratify the selection of PwC, our Board of Directors may reconsider the selection.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Pursuant to our Amended and Restated Audit Committee Charter, our Audit Committee is required to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm in order to ensure that the provision of such services does not impair the public accountants’ independence. The Audit Committee pre-approved all services provided to us by PwC for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Auditor Independence

Other than those professional services listed above, there were no other professional services provided by PwC in our fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. In addition, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from PwC required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) regarding PwC’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with PwC its independence.

Vote Required

The ratification of the selection of PwC requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the combined voting power of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon, voting together as one class. Abstentions are considered votes present and entitled to vote on this proposal, and thus, will have the same effect as a vote “against” the proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Controlled Company

BFI controls a majority of the combined voting power of our outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock. As a result, we are a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq stock market (“Nasdaq”) corporate governance standards. As a controlled company, exemptions under the standards free us from the obligation to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirements:

•

that a majority of our Board of Directors consists of “independent directors,” as defined under the rules of the Nasdaq;

•

that we have, to the extent applicable, a corporate governance and nominating committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities;

•

that we have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and

•

for an annual performance evaluation of the corporate governance and nominating committee and compensation committee.

Since we have availed ourselves of the “controlled company” exemption under the Nasdaq rules, we do not have a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and our Compensation Committee is not composed entirely of independent directors. These exemptions do not modify the independence requirements for our Audit Committee, and we have complied with the requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and the rules of Nasdaq, which require us to have an audit committee comprised of at least three members, all of whom are independent.

Structure of Our Board of Directors

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors currently consists of eight members. The total number of directors who constitute our Board of Directors may be set by resolution of our Board of Directors. Mr. Jack C. Bendheim serves as Chairman of our Board of Directors and our President and Chief Executive Officer.

Our Board of Directors is divided into three classes with staggered terms. Directors in a particular class will be elected for three-year terms at the annual meeting of stockholders in the year in which their terms expire. As a result, only one class of directors will be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms. Each director’s term continues until the end of such three-year term and until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, removal, disqualification or retirement.

Mr. Daniel M. Bendheim, Mr. Jonathan Bendheim and Mr. Gejdenson are Class I Directors, whose terms expire at the 2023 annual meeting. Mr. Carlson, Ms. Malanoski and Ms. Wrenn serve as Class II Directors, whose terms expire at the 2024 annual meeting. Mr. Jack C. Bendheim and Mr. Corcoran serve as Class III Directors, whose terms expire at the 2022 annual meeting. The Class III Directors are current nominees for election for a term expiring at our 2025 annual meeting.

Director Independence

Because BFI controls a majority of the combined voting power of our outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock, we are a controlled company under the Nasdaq corporate governance standards. As a controlled company, we are exempt from the requirement under Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2) that a majority of our Board of Directors consists of “independent directors,” as defined under such rules. Nevertheless, our Board of Directors has reviewed the independence of the current members of the Board of Directors in accordance with the independence requirements of the applicable Nasdaq rules and has determined, based upon information provided by each director concerning his or her background,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

employment and affiliations, that Mr. Carlson, Mr. Corcoran, Mr. Gejdenson, Ms. Malanoski and Ms. Wrenn are “independent directors” under the relevant Nasdaq rules.

Board Leadership Structure

Mr. Jack C. Bendheim serves as our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chairman of the Board. Our Board of Directors has carefully considered its leadership structure and believes at this time that Phibro and its stockholders are best served by having one person serve in all of these positions. We believe that combining the roles fosters accountability, effective decision-making and alignment between interests of the Board of Directors and management. Mr. Bendheim also is able to use the in-depth focus and perspective gained in his executive function to assist our Board of Directors in addressing both internal and external issues affecting Phibro.

Our Board of Directors has determined not to appoint one independent director to serve as lead independent director at this time. Our independent directors meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions without non-independent directors and at other times as necessary. We believe that our Board, which is comprised of a majority of independent directors, is highly independent, empowered and engaged. Our Board of Directors recognizes that depending on future circumstances, other leadership models may become more appropriate. Accordingly, our Board of Directors will continue to periodically review its leadership structure.

Meetings of the Board of Directors

During our fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Board of Directors held five meetings and each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of our Board of Directors held during the period for which he or she has been a director and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of our Board of Directors on which he or she served during the periods that he or she served.

Although we do not have a formal policy regarding attendance by members of our Board of Directors at annual meetings of stockholders, we encourage, but do not require, our directors to attend. Each member of the Board of Directors was in attendance at our 2021 annual meeting.

Board Committees

Our Board of Directors has two standing committees: an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee. Each of the committees reports to the Board of Directors as they deem appropriate, and as the Board of Directors may request. The composition, duties and responsibilities of these committees are set forth below. In the future, our Board of Directors may establish other committees, as it deems appropriate, to assist it with its responsibilities.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is responsible for, among other matters: (1) appointing, compensating, retaining, evaluating, terminating and overseeing our independent registered public accounting firm; (2) discussing with our independent registered public accounting firm their independence from management; (3) reviewing with our independent registered public accounting firm the scope and results of their audit; (4) approving all audit and permissible non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm; (5) overseeing the financial reporting process and discussing with management and our independent registered public accounting firm the interim and annual consolidated financial statements that we file with the SEC; (6) reviewing and monitoring our accounting principles, accounting policies, financial and accounting controls and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (7) establishing procedures for the confidential anonymous submission of concerns regarding questionable accounting, internal controls or auditing matters; (8) reviewing and approving related party transactions; and (9) oversight of our risk management process.

Our Audit Committee consists of Mr. Corcoran, Mr. Gejdenson and Ms. Wrenn, and Mr. Corcoran serves as chairman of the Audit Committee. Our Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Mr. Corcoran, Mr. Gejdenson and Ms. Wrenn meet the definition of “independent directors” for purposes of serving on an Audit Committee under applicable SEC and Nasdaq rules, and we fully comply with these independence requirements. In addition, our Board of Directors determined that Mr. Corcoran qualifies as our “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K. During our fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Audit Committee held four regularly scheduled meetings, and each member of the Audit Committee attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings held by the Audit Committee during the periods that he or she served on the Audit Committee.

Our Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, which is available on our corporate website at www.pahc.com. Our website and the information contained thereon are not part of this proxy statement.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other matters: (1) reviewing key employee compensation goals, policies, plans and programs; (2) reviewing and approving the compensation of our directors, chief executive officer and other executive officers; (3) reviewing and approving employment agreements and other similar arrangements between us and our executive officers; and (4) administering our stock plans and other incentive compensation plans, if any. The Compensation Committee may, from time to time, form subcommittees that may take such actions as are delegated to such subcommittees by the Compensation Committee.

Our Compensation Committee consists of Mr. Gejdenson, Mr. Jack C. Bendheim and Ms. Wrenn, and Mr. Gejdenson serves as the chairman of the Compensation Committee. As a controlled company, we are exempt from the requirements under the Nasdaq rules that require that we have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors. Nevertheless, our Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that Mr. Gejdenson and Ms. Wrenn meet the definition of “independent directors” under applicable Nasdaq rules. During our fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Compensation Committee held two meetings, and each member of the Compensation Committee attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings held by the Compensation Committee during the periods that he or she served on the Compensation Committee.

Our Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Compensation Committee, which is available on our corporate website at www.pahc.com. Our website and the information contained thereon are not part of this proxy statement.

The Compensation Committee regularly reviews our executive compensation program to ensure that compensation is closely tied to aspects of our performance that our executive officers can impact and that are likely to have an impact on stockholder value. On an annual basis, our Compensation Committee evaluates the performance of our Chief Executive Officer and approves his compensation. Our Chief Executive Officer annually reviews the performance of our executive officers, including the named executive officers (other than himself), with our Compensation Committee and makes recommendations to our Compensation Committee with regard to each executive officer’s compensation (other than himself). Our Compensation Committee considers such recommendations when approving each executive officer’s compensation (other than the Chief Executive Officer). Our Compensation Committee annually evaluates the compensation of our directors in light of their duties and makes recommendations with regard to their compensation to our Board for approval.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

Our Board of Directors has documented the governance practices followed by Phibro by adopting the Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “Corporate Governance Guidelines”). The Corporate Governance Guidelines set forth the practices the Board intends to follow with respect to the Board’s responsibilities, the Board’s operations, director qualifications and the Board’s composition, director access to management and independent advisors, director compensation, director continuing education, executive succession planning and retention, the Board’s annual self-evaluation and stockholder access to the Board. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on our corporate website at www.pahc.com. Our website and the information contained thereon are not part of this proxy statement.

Considerations in Evaluating Director Nominees

All members of our Board of Directors are responsible for screening and recommending nominees for election as directors, including nominees recommended by stockholders of Phibro. When making recommendations regarding nominees to the Board, the Board of Directors will consider advice and recommendations from stockholders, management and others as they deem appropriate, and will also take into account the performance of incumbent directors in determining whether to recommend them to stand for re-election at the annual meeting of stockholders. Phibro seeks Board members who have skills, experience and backgrounds that are relevant to the key strategic and operational issues that they will oversee and approve. Director candidates are typically selected based on their integrity and character, sound, independent judgment, track record of accomplishment in leadership roles, as well as their professional and corporate expertise, skills and experience. Some of the factors that the Board of Directors will take into consideration when evaluating director candidates include: (i) the independence, judgment, strength of character, reputation in the business community, ethics and integrity of the individual; (ii) the business or other relevant experience, skills and knowledge that the individual may have that will enable him or her to provide effective oversight of Phibro’s business; (iii) the fit of the individual’s skill set and personality with those of the other Board members so as to build a Board that works together effectively and constructively; and (iv) the individual’s ability to devote sufficient time to carry out his or her responsibilities as a director in light of his or her occupation and the number of boards of directors of other public companies on which he or she serves. While the Board of Directors does not have a formal diversity, policy related to the evaluation of nominees to the Board, diversity is a factor considered when identifying prospective nominees.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Key Fiscal Year 2022 Compensation Actions

The primary elements of our total direct compensation program for the NEOs and a summary of the actions taken by the Compensation Committee during our fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 are set forth below.

Compensation Component	Link to Business and Talent Strategies	Fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 Compensation Actions
Base Salary (Page 25)	• Competitive base salaries help attract and retain executive talent.	• Messrs. Jack Bendheim, Finio, Miller and Daniel Bendheim received a merit-based salary increase of approximately 2.8% during our fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. Mr. Aukerman received a merit-based increase of approximately 3.1% during our fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.
Incentive Compensation (Page 25)	• Focus executives on achieving financial results that are key indicators of ongoing operational performance that are expected to drive stockholder value creation.	• An annual cash incentive award based on pre-determined financial performance criteria was earned by each of the NEOs for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.

Our Executive Compensation Philosophy

The Company requires top talent with a wide range of skills, experience and leadership qualities to lead the organization in support of our mission of healthy animals, healthy people and healthy world. In order to attract and retain the talent required to fulfill our mission and promote stockholder value, the Compensation Committee’s goal is to implement an executive compensation program built upon the following objectives:

•

Attracting and Retaining the Right Talent. Executive compensation should be market-competitive in order to attract and retain highly motivated talent with a performance-driven mindset.

•

Pay for Performance. A material portion of an executive’s target compensation should be at-risk and directly aligned with Company performance.

•

Alignment with Stockholder Interests. Our executives’ interests should be aligned with stockholder interests.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We strongly emphasize a culture of pay for performance and our CEO’s total direct compensation over the preceding five years is indicative of this culture.

[MISSING IMAGE: tm2225310d1-bc_ceo4c.jpg]

Total direct compensation (“TDC”) is the sum of base salary, annual cash incentive awards and equity incentive awards as reported in the Summary Compensation Table for each year. Stock price performance represents cumulative stockholder return (assuming reinvestment of dividends), based on a hypothetical, $100 investment in Phibro’s Class A common stock, the S&P 500, the Nasdaq Composite Index, the Russell 2000 Index and the S&P Pharmaceuticals Index on July 1, 2017.

In November 2019, we provided stockholders a non-binding, advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers (the “2019 say-on-pay vote”). At our 2019 annual meeting, our stockholders approved the compensation of our named executive officers with approximately 99% of votes supporting the proposal. In evaluating our executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee considered the results of the 2019 say-on-pay vote and numerous other factors as discussed in this CD&A. The Compensation Committee will continue to monitor and assess our executive compensation program and consider the outcome of our say-on-pay votes when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.

How We Determine Executive Compensation

Oversight Responsibilities for Executive Compensation

The table below summarizes the key oversight responsibilities for executive compensation.

	Compensation Committee			• Establishes executive compensation philosophy • Approves incentive compensation programs and performance goals for the annual management incentive plan (“MIP”) • Approves all compensation actions for the named executive officers • Independent committee members approve all compensation actions for the CEO outside of the CEO’s presence
	CEO and Management			• Management, including the CEO, develops preliminary recommendations regarding compensation matters with respect to all NEOs, other than the CEO, and provides these recommendations to the Compensation Committee, which makes the final decisions

Use of Market Data

To obtain a broad view of competitive practices among industry peers and competitors for executive talent, management presents to the Compensation Committee data derived from the following national compensation surveys: Willis Towers Watson Compensation Survey, Mercer Life Sciences Survey and Mercer Executive Compensation Survey. The Compensation Committee does not review the specific companies included in these surveys and the data presented to the Compensation Committee is general and not specific to any particular subset of companies. The survey data is used as a reference point to assess the competitiveness of base salary, incentive targets, and total direct compensation awarded to the NEOs and as information on overall market practices. The Company’s philosophy is to provide base salary and variable cash compensation that is competitive with the median of the survey data, with appropriate adjustments above or below the median based on factors such as experience, time in role, individual contribution and accomplishments and market conditions.

Fiscal Year 2022 Named Executive Officer Compensation

Base Salary

Base salaries are a fixed amount paid to each executive for performing his or her normal duties and responsibilities. We determine the amount based on the executive’s overall performance, level of responsibility, comparison to survey data, as well as market trend and cost of living projections. Based on these criteria, our named executive officers received the following annual salaries in our fiscal year ended June 30, 2022:

	Fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 Base Salary			Increase (%)		Fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 Base Salary
Jack C. Bendheim		$	2,125,000		2.8%		$	2,185,000
Damian Finio		$	450,000		2.8%		$	462,375
Larry L. Miller		$	618,000		2.8%		$	634,995
Rob Aukerman		$	450,000		3.1%		$	463,950
Daniel M. Bendheim		$	430,000		2.8%		$	441,825

Management Incentive Plan (MIP)

Our annual MIP is a cash-based program that rewards employees for achieving critical business and financial goals that are key indicators of ongoing operational performance that will drive stockholder value creation. Goals are established at the beginning of each fiscal year and are reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee. Target award opportunities vary by job level and can range from 10% to 50% of annual base salary. Where minimum threshold performance targets are satisfied, annual incentive payments can range from 50% to 150% of the target award opportunity, based on performance relative to goals as determined by the Compensation Committee.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Compensation Committee reviews our target annual bonus opportunities each year to ensure they are competitive. The target annual incentive opportunity as a percent of annual base salary for each of our NEOs in fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, was as follows:

	Fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 Target Annual Incentive as Percent of Base Salary (%)		Fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 Target Annual Incentive ($)
Jack C. Bendheim		50%		$	1,092,500
Damian Finio		50%		$	231,188
Larry L. Miller		50%		$	317,498
Rob Aukerman		40%		$	185,580
Daniel M. Bendheim		50%		$	220,913

In conjunction with management, the Compensation Committee undertakes a review and analysis to establish annual performance goals under the MIP. The performance levels are intended to be aggressive but realistic, such that achieving threshold levels would represent minimum acceptable performance and achieving maximum levels would represent outstanding performance. The target performance goals align with our annual Company performance goals and may be modified by Compensation Committee assessment of individual performance.

For our fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the following were the goals and payout levels under the MIP applicable to Messrs. Jack Bendheim, Finio, Miller and Daniel Bendheim:

Metric	Weighting	Rationale for Metric	Payout Range (% of Target)
Sales	25%	Sales are reflective of top line performance and a key metric for our investors	50% – 150%
Adjusted EBITDA	75%	Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, adjusted for certain items including restructuring and acquisition related items, stock-based compensation costs and other unusual or non- operational items (Adjusted EBITDA) is reflective of our operating performance and a key metric for our investors	50% – 150%

For our fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the following were the goals and payout levels under the MIP applicable to Mr. Aukerman:

Metric			Weighting			Rationale for Metric			Payout Range (% of Target)
Global Index			30%			This non-GAAP metric is the weighted average of certain sales and Adjusted EBITDA of our global animal health business. This figure is useful because it is reflective of the top line and operating performance of this key business which is an important contributor to our overall performance.			50% – 150%

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Metric	Weighting	Rationale for Metric	Payout Range (% of Target)
North America Index	50%	This non-GAAP metric is the weighted average of sales and profitability generated by the North America business for which Mr. Aukerman has management responsibility. The sales and profitability measurements are based on regional sales, with profitability determined by deducting certain costs and operating expenses. Together, these figures are reflective of the overall financial performance of Mr. Aukerman’s area of responsibility.	50% – 150%
Personal Goals	20%	This metric is based upon key management goals that are agreed between Mr. Aukerman and his supervisor, Mr. Miller, at the start of the fiscal year and represent accomplishment or progress toward important strategic initiatives which will help ensure the future success of the Company’s business. For our fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, Mr. Aukerman’s personal goals related to new product launches and organizational development initiatives.	50% – 150%

In addition, Mr. Aukerman received a retention bonus of $105,000 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.

The threshold, target and maximum performance and payout opportunities under the MIP for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 (subject to interpolation between points), along with the actual performance achieved and related payout percentage for Messrs. Jack Bendheim, Finio, Miller and Daniel Bendheim, are set forth below:

	Threshold			Target			Maximum			Actual(1)			% of Target Achieved		Payout %
Payout %			50%			100%			150%
Sales ($ millions)		$	827		$	871		$	915		$	942		108%		150%
Adjusted EBITDA ($ millions)		$	103		$	115		$	121		$	110		96%		81%

Weighted Average Payout: 98.13%

The level of achievement of Personal Goals is assigned a numerical value by the relevant employee’s supervisor based upon pre-defined levels of achievement related to the relevant key management goals and can range from 0 for goals that have not been met to 150 for achievement that exceeded the relevant goal. The Compensation Committee determined the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 annual cash incentive awards for the NEOs using the following framework:

The annual cash incentive awards earned by our NEOs for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 were as follows.

	Target Annual Incentive Opportunity			Financial Performance Target Payout%		Annual Cash Incentive Payout			% of Target
Jack C. Bendheim		$	1,092,500		100%		$	1,055,000		96.57%
Damian Finio		$	231,188		100%		$	227,000		98.19%
Larry L. Miller		$	317,498		100%		$	320,000		100.79%
Rob Aukerman		$	185,580		100%		$	194,950		105.05%
Daniel M. Bendheim		$	220,913		100%		$	217,000		98.23%

The annual cash incentive awards paid are based on what is earned by each individual under the MIP and adjusted for any discretionary awards. Mr. Jack Bendheim allocated some of his earned incentive award to several of the other NEOs for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.

Equity Incentive Program

We believe that annual base salary, together with a wholly performance-based annual cash incentive opportunity, accomplishes our primary goal of attracting and retaining key talent. The Board is attentive to share usage and shareholder dilution and, at this time, we do not offer equity incentives as a regular component of the annual compensation program. Rather, we have used equity incentive awards in a limited but strategic manner to recruit, recognize and/or retain executives under specific circumstances. In addition, we believe our CEO’s current interest in BFI (as disclosed in the beneficial ownership table) is sufficient to

TABLE OF CONTENTS

support our objective of aligning executive and stockholder interests. No options or other equity awards were granted to any NEOs during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.

Other Compensation and Governance Matters

Employment Agreements

We have entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Jack Bendheim, Finio, Miller and Aukerman that provide that employment is at-will and describe the terms of their employment, including base salary and performance bonus opportunity and equity grants, as well as limited severance benefits. In addition, all of the NEOs are bound by customary intellectual property provisions, noncompete and nonsolicitation provisions, all of which generally apply during employment and thereafter (with the noncompete and nonsolicitation provisions applying during employment and the one-year period thereafter). For a description of the employment agreements, see “Executive Compensation — Individual Arrangements — Employment Agreements.”

Retirement Benefits

We offer our CEO certain other retirement benefits in order to encourage him to devote his career to the Company, in addition to the compensation components discussed above and the opportunity to participate in the same health and welfare and retirement plan benefits available to our United States employees generally. The other retirement benefits include participation in the following:

•

Retirement Health Care Plan: We maintain a retirement health care plan under which we provide to Jack Bendheim and certain other persons retirement health care insurance coverage that is supplemental to Medicare benefits.

•

Executive Income Program: In 1990, we entered into an executive income program to provide a pre-retirement death benefit and a retirement benefit to certain executives. As of June 30, 2022, Jack Bendheim is the only NEO who is a participant in this plan.

•

Retirement Income Plan: In 1994, we adopted a non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan as an incentive for certain executives. As of June 30, 2022, Jack Bendheim is the only NEO who is a participant in supplemental retirement plan.

•

1993 Split Dollar Agreement: In 1993, we entered into a Split Dollar Agreement. Upon the death of Jack Bendheim or upon the cancellation of the policies or the termination of the Split Dollar Agreement, we have the right to be repaid the total amount we advanced toward payment of premiums. After repayment of the amount due to us, the remaining cash surrender value or the remaining death benefit is payable to a trust, the beneficiaries of which are the wife and children of Jack Bendheim including Mr. Daniel Bendheim.

For a description of the foregoing retirement arrangements, please see “Executive Compensation — Narrative Disclosure to the Summary Compensation Table — Pension and Other Retirement Plans” on page 34 of the proxy statement.

401(k) Plan

We maintain for the benefit of our United States employees a 401(k) Retirement and Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”), which is a defined contribution plan qualified under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code. Our employees are eligible for participation in the 401(k) Plan without any waiting period.

Employees may make pre-tax contributions of up to the lesser of 60% of such employee’s compensation or the maximum amount permitted under the Code. Employees receive a matching contribution equal to 100% of the first 6% of an employee’s contribution plus a non-elective Company contribution of up to 4.5% of compensation, depending on the employee’s age and years of service, provided that such payments comply with mandatory non-discrimination testing. Participants are fully vested immediately in employer contributions. Distributions are generally payable in a lump sum after termination of employment, retirement, death, disability, plan termination, attainment of age 59 1∕2, disposition of substantially all of our assets

TABLE OF CONTENTS

or upon financial hardship. The plan also provides for loans to participants. The Summary Compensation Table discloses the amounts we contributed to the Company’s 401(k) Plan for our named executive officers.

Other Benefits

Pursuant to the terms of Jack Bendheim’s employment agreement, for fiscal year 2022, the Company was required to make payments up to an aggregate maximum cost of $450,000 for legal, audit and tax services for Jack Bendheim and his family and payments for members of his family for non-full-time employment and consulting arrangements and medical and other insurance coverage. Following the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, on September 15, 2022, the Company increased the permitted aggregate maximum cost to $550,000 per annum.

Messrs. Finio, Miller and Aukerman are each entitled to an automobile allowance in the amounts disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table.

Insider Trading Policy

Under the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, senior personnel of the Company may not sell any equity security of the Company if such person either (a) does not own the security that is being sold or (b) fails to deliver the security against such sale within specified time frames. Furthermore, senior personnel may not purchase, sell or engage in any other transaction involving any derivative securities of the Company. A “derivative security” includes any option, warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right or similar security (other than a security received pursuant to a Company compensatory or benefit program), with an exercise of conversion price or other value related to the value of any equity security of the Company.

Tax Deductibility Policy

The Compensation Committee considered the deductibility of compensation for federal income tax purposes in the design of the Company’s compensation programs. While the Company generally seeks to maintain the deductibility of the incentive compensation paid to its executive officers, the Compensation Committee retains the flexibility necessary to provide cash and equity compensation in line with competitive practices, its compensation philosophy and the best interests of stockholders, even if these amounts are not fully tax deductible.

Risk Assessment

The Compensation Committee, with the assistance of FW Cook, a nationally recognized executive compensation consulting firm, reviewed and evaluated the Company’s executive compensation practices and has concluded, based on this review, that any risks associated with such practices are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The determination primarily took into account the type of performance metrics used, incentive plan payout leverage, avoidance of uncapped rewards and the Compensation Committee’s oversight of all executive compensation programs.

Conclusion

It is the opinion of the Compensation Committee that the compensation policies and elements described above provide the necessary incentives to properly align our named executive officers’ performance with the interests of our stockholders while maintaining equitable and competitive executive compensation practices that enable us to attract and retain the highest caliber of named executive officers.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table

Our 2008 Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) enables us to provide directors, officers, employees and consultants with opportunities to purchase Class A common shares pursuant to options that may be granted, and receive grants of restricted shares and other share-based awards granted, from time to time, by the Board of Directors or a committee approved by the Board. Stock options are designed to motivate executives to make decisions that focus on long-term stockholder value creation. The Equity Incentive Plan provides for grants of stock options, stock awards and other incentives of up to 6,630,000 shares of Class A common stock. Shares of Class A common stock available for grants as of June 30, 2022 were 5,081,620. No options or other equity awards were granted during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.

Pension Plan

We maintain for the benefit of our United States employees employed on or prior to December 31, 2013, a defined benefit pension plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (the “Pension Plan”). Our employees are eligible for participation in the Pension Plan once they have attained age 21 and completed a year of service (which is a plan year in which the employee completes 1,000 hours of service). In July 2016, we amended the Pension Plan to eliminate credit for future service and compensation increases, effective as of September 30, 2016. The Pension Plan provides benefits equal to the sum of (a) 1.0% of an employee’s “average salary” plus 0.5% of the employee’s “average salary” in excess of the average of the employee’s social security taxable wage base, times years of service after July 1, 1989, plus (b) the employee’s frozen accrued benefit, if any, as of June 30, 1989 calculated under the Pension Plan formula in effect at that time. For purposes of calculating the portion of the benefit based on “average salary” in excess of the average wage base, years of service shall not exceed 35. “Average salary” for these purposes means the employee’s salary over the consecutive five-year period in the ten years preceding September 30, 2016 that produces the highest average. An employee becomes vested in his or her plan benefit once the employee completes five years of service with us. In general, benefits are payable after retirement or disability in the form of a 50%, 75% or 100% joint and survivor annuity, life annuity or life annuity with a five or ten year term certain. Benefits are also payable in the case of a qualifying early retirement (i.e., 55 years old and 10 years of service), with such benefits reduced based on the employee’s distance from normal retirement age (i.e., 65 years old). In some cases, benefits may also be payable under the Pension Plan in the event of an employee’s death.

Messrs. Jack Bendheim, Miller and Daniel Bendheim participate in the Pension Plan. Mr. Jack Bendheim is currently retirement eligible. Messrs. Miller and Daniel Bendheim do not currently qualify for early retirement or retirement. In some cases, benefits may also be payable under the Pension Plan in the event of an employee’s death.

Retirement Income Plan

In 1994, we adopted a non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan as an incentive for certain executives (the “Retirement Income Plan”). The plan provides for (i) a Retirement Income Benefit, (ii) a Survivor’s Income Benefit, and (iii) a Deferred Compensation Benefit (each, as defined therein and described below). A grantor trust has been established to provide the benefits under such plan. Jack Bendheim is the only named executive officer that participates in the Retirement Income Plan.

The Retirement Income Benefit is determined based upon the participant’s salary, years of service and age at retirement. At present, it is contemplated that a benefit of 1% of Jack Bendheim’s eligible compensation will be accrued each year. The benefit is payable upon Jack Bendheim’s retirement (after age 65 with at least 10 years of service) in monthly installments over a 15-year period to Jack Bendheim or, in the event of his death, to his named beneficiary.

The Survivor’s Income Benefit is payable to the beneficiary of a participant who dies before having retired from the Company. For the Retirement Income Plan’s current participants, including Jack Bendheim, such benefit is equal to each participant’s annualized compensation at the time of death, capped at $1,500,000. At Jack Bendheim’s election, such benefit will be payable in 24 equal monthly installments.

Pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Benefit, a participant may elect each year to defer at least $3,000 but not more than $20,000 of his or her base salary in excess of $150,000. The deferred amount will earn interest at a rate that increases after five and ten years of participation in the Retirement Income Plan. Under certain circumstances, the Company matches the first $3,000 of the deferred amount. Participants may elect whether to have their deferred compensation account balances payable in a lump-sum or in monthly installments for any period between two to 15 years upon a termination of service, with the timing of such elections designed to comply with Section 409A of the Code. Such account balances become immediately payable upon a participant’s death.

As of June 30, 2022, Jack Bendheim has (i) an annual Retirement Income Benefit of $180,009 payable over a 15-year period, (ii) a Survivor’s Income Benefit of $1,500,000 payable in 24 equal monthly installments and (iii) a Deferred Compensation Benefit of $1,258,716.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Executive Income Program

In 1990, we entered into an Executive Income Program to provide a pre-retirement death benefit and a retirement benefit to certain executives. Jack Bendheim is the only named executive officer who participates in the Executive Income Program, which provides that, upon the executive’s retirement, at or after attaining age 65, we will make retirement payments to the executive during the executive’s life for 10 years or until the executive or the executive’s beneficiaries have received a total of 120 monthly payments. Participants have no claim against us other than as unsecured creditors. We intend to fund the payments using the cash value or the death benefit from the life insurance policies insuring each executive’s life.

Jack Bendheim currently participates in this plan and his annual retirement benefit is $30,000. Each policy also contains additional paid-up insurance and extended term insurance. On the death of the executive prior to the executive’s actual retirement date: (i) the first $1,000,000 of the death benefit is payable to the executive’s spouse or issue; (ii) the excess is payable to us up to the aggregate amount of premiums paid by us; and (iii) any balance is payable to the executive’s spouse or issue.

Retirement Health Care Plan

Under the Retirement Health Care Plan, we provide to Jack Bendheim and certain other persons retirement health care insurance coverage that is supplemental to Medicare benefits. Jack Bendheim is the only named executive officer who participates in the Retirement Health Care Plan. To be eligible, a person must have (i) been a corporate officer of the Company, reached the age of 65 and been employed by the Company for a minimum of 35 years; or (ii) been a corporate officer and director of the Company, reached the age of 65 and been hired by the Company prior to June 1, 2002; or (iii) been an employee of the Company who retired after reaching a minimum age of 75 as of October 1, 2007 with a minimum of 10 years of service to the Company; provided that in the case of (i) and (ii), such participants shall have eligibility deferred until such participant is no longer eligible for participation in the Company’s health care plan (excluding COBRA eligibility). The Company pays a portion of the premium costs for participants and for a participant’s spouse, during the lifetime of any such participant and for the lifetime of any person who was the spouse of a participant at the time of such participant’s death. No amounts attributable to the Retirement Health Care Plan are included in the foregoing table.

1993 Split Dollar Agreement

In 1993, we entered into a Split Dollar Agreement with David Butler and Gail Bendheim, as trustees under an Indenture of Trust dated August 12, 1993 (the “Trust”). This Agreement provides for the Trust to purchase and own life insurance policies on the life of Jack Bendheim in the aggregate face amount of $5,000,000 (plus additions). The premiums for such insurance are paid in part by the Trust (to the extent of the lesser of the P.S. 58 rates, or the insurers’ current published premium rate for annually renewable term insurance for standard risks) and in part by us (we pay the balance of the premiums not paid by the Trust). Upon the death of Jack Bendheim or upon the cancellation of the policies or the termination of the Agreement, we have the right to be repaid the total amount we advanced toward payment of premiums. To secure our right to be repaid, the Trust has assigned each policy to us as collateral. After repayment of the amount due to us, the remaining cash surrender value or the remaining death benefit is payable to the Trust, the beneficiaries of which are the wife and issue of Jack Bendheim. No amounts attributable to the 1993 Split Dollar Agreement are included in the foregoing table.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan

CEO PAY RATIO

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Company is providing the following disclosure about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees to the annual total compensation of Mr. Jack C. Bendheim, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer during our fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio allow companies to apply various methodologies and assumptions and, as a result, the pay ratio reported by us may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported by other companies.

For purposes of identifying the median employee from our fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, employee population base of approximately 1,845 employees, we considered annualized base salary for all full and part-time employees employed as of June 30, 2022. We selected base pay as it represents the principal form of compensation delivered to all of our employees and is readily available in each country.

For our fiscal year ended June 30, 2022,

•

The median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, other than Mr. Bendheim, was $50,194.

•

Mr. Bendheim’s annual total compensation, as reported in the Total column of our Summary Compensation Table, was $3,609,499.

•

Based on this information, the ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Bendheim to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees is estimated to be 72 to 1

We believe this ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.

Employment Arrangements

Certain relatives of Jack C. Bendheim provided services to us as employees or consultants and received aggregate compensation and benefits of $2.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2022. The amounts primarily included compensation and benefits for Daniel M. Bendheim, Director and Executive Vice President, Corporate Strategy; Jonathan Bendheim, Director and President MACIE Region and General Manager, Phibro Israel; Etan Bendheim, former Vice President — Hannibal Bio-Tech, LLC; and Dr. Zev Jacobson, Human Pharma Liaison.

Indemnification Agreements

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our current directors and executive officers. These agreements require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to us, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. We also intend to enter into indemnification agreements with our future directors and executive officers.

Policies and Procedures With Respect to Related Party Transactions

Our policy with respect to the sale, lease or purchase of assets or property of any related party is that such transaction should be on terms that are no less favorable to us or our subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could reasonably be obtainable at such time in a comparable arm’s length transaction from an unrelated third party. Our senior credit facility includes a similar restriction on us and our restricted subsidiaries with respect to the sale, purchase, exchange or lease of assets, property or services, subject to certain limitations as to the applicability thereof.

We have adopted written policies and procedures whereby our Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving related party transactions and reviewing and investigating any potential conflicts of interest. In addition, our Code of Ethics and Code of Business Conduct requires that all of our employees and directors inform the Company of any material transaction or relationship that comes to their attention that could reasonably be expected to create a conflict of interest. Further, at least annually, each director and executive officer must complete a detailed questionnaire that asks questions about any business relationship that may give rise to a conflict of interest and all transactions in which we are involved and in which the executive officer, a director or a related person has a direct or indirect material interest.
