PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 29, 2012

(U.S. EASTERN STANDARD TIME)

The accompanying proxy is solicited by the board of directors of Unilife Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), for use at our annual meeting of stockholders to be held at 4:00 P.M. U.S. Eastern Standard Time on Thursday, November 29, 2012 (8:00 A.M. Australian Eastern Daylight Time on November 30, 2012), or any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting of Stockholders.

A Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials is being mailed to our stockholders on or about October 18, 2012.

INTERNET AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS

A complete set of proxy materials relating to the meeting is available on the Internet. These materials, consisting of the Notice of Meeting and Proxy Statement, proxy card, CDI voting instruction form and Annual Report on 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 may be viewed and printed at www.envisionreports.com/unis. If you are a CDI holder, you may also view and print these materials online at www.investorvote.com.au.

SOLICITATION AND VOTING

Voting Rights and Procedures

Only those stockholders or CDI holders of record as of the close of business on October 4, 2012 (U.S. Eastern Daylight Time), the record date, will be entitled to vote at the meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof. Those persons holding CDIs are entitled to receive notice of and attend the meeting and may instruct CDN to vote at the meeting by following the instructions on the CDI voting instruction form or by voting online at www.investorvote.com.au.

As of the record date, we had 82,059,411 shares of common stock outstanding (equivalent to 492,356,466 CDIs assuming all shares of common stock were converted into CDIs on the record date), all of which are entitled to vote with respect to all matters to be acted upon at the meeting, except to the extent of the voting exclusions for Proposal No. 4 described below. Each stockholder as of the close of business on the record date is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held by such stockholder. Each CDI holder as of the close of business on the record date is entitled to direct CDN to vote one share for every six CDIs held by such holder. One-third of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote, whether present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the meeting. Votes for and against, abstentions and “broker non-votes” (shares held by a broker or nominee that does not have discretionary voting authority and has not received instructions as to how to vote on a particular proposal) will each be counted as present and entitled to vote for the purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

The following describes how you may vote on each proposal and the votes required for approval of each proposal:

Proposal No. 1 — Our six director nominees will be elected by a plurality of votes cast at the meeting, which means that the director nominees receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected. You may vote for each director nominee or withhold your vote from one or more of the nominees. Withholding a vote as to any director nominee is the equivalent of abstaining. Neither abstentions nor broker non-votes will count as a vote cast “FOR” or “AGAINST” a director nominee, and they will have no direct effect on the outcome of the election of directors.

Table of Contents

Proposals No. 2 through 4 — The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter must be obtained in order to approve each of these proposals. You may vote for or against the proposal or you may abstain from voting. Abstentions will not be counted as affirmative votes and will have the same effect as AGAINST votes, and broker non-votes will not be counted as entitled to vote and will have no effect on the outcome of such proposals.

Solicitation of Proxies

We will pay the entire cost of preparing, assembling, printing, mailing, and distributing these proxy materials. If you choose to vote over the Internet, you are responsible for Internet access charges you may incur. In addition to the mailing of these proxy materials, the solicitation of proxies or votes may be made in person, by telephone or by electronic communication by our directors, officers and employees, who will not receive any additional compensation for such solicitation activities. In addition to soliciting stockholders through our employees, we will request banks, brokers and other intermediaries holding shares of our common stock beneficially owned by others to solicit the beneficial owners and will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses in so doing.

Voting Instructions

All shares of our common stock represented by properly executed proxies received before the times indicated on the proxy will, unless the proxies are revoked, be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated on those proxies. If no instructions are indicated on the proxy, the shares will be voted as the proxy holder nominated on the proxy card determines, or, if no person is nominated, the shares will be voted “FOR” each proposal. The persons named as proxies will vote on any other matters properly presented at the meeting in accordance with their best judgment. A stockholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke his or her proxy at any time before it is exercised by delivering to the Corporate Secretary of Unilife Corporation, 250 Cross Farm Lane, York, Pennsylvania 17406, a written notice revoking the proxy or a duly executed proxy with a later date, or by attending the meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the meeting will not, in and of itself, constitute revocation of a proxy.

Shares held directly in your name as the stockholder of record may be voted in person at the meeting. If you choose to vote in person, please bring proof of identification. Even if you plan to attend the meeting, we recommend that you vote your shares in advance as described below so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend. Shares held in street name through a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee may be voted in person by you if you obtain a valid proxy from the record holder giving you the right to vote the shares. CDI holders may attend the meeting, but cannot vote in person at the meeting.

Whether you hold shares directly as the stockholder of record or beneficially in street name, you may vote without attending the meeting. Whether you hold shares directly as the stockholder of record or beneficially in street name, you may direct how your shares are voted as follows:

 

   

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote by proxy. You can vote by proxy over the Internet or telephone by following the instructions provided on the proxy card or can vote by proxy by mail pursuant to instructions provided on the proxy card.

 

   

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you have the right to direct your broker or other nominee on how to vote the shares in your account. If you hold shares beneficially in street name, you may vote by proxy over the Internet or telephone by following the instructions provided on the Proxy Card or may vote by mail by following the voting instruction card provided to you by your broker, bank, trustee or nominee.

Under Delaware law, votes cast by Internet have the same effect as votes cast by submitting a written proxy card.

Special Instructions for CDI Holders

Specific instructions to be followed by any CDI holder interested in directing CDN to vote the shares underlying their CDIs are set forth on the CDI voting instruction form. The Internet voting procedures for CDI holders are designed to authenticate the CDI holder’s identity and to allow the CDI holder to direct CDN to vote his or her shares and confirm that his or her voting instructions have been properly recorded.

CDI holders may direct CDN to vote their underlying shares at the meeting by following the instructions in the CDI voting instruction form and voting online at www.investorvote.com.au or by returning the CDI voting instruction form to Computershare, being the agent we designated for the collection and processing of voting instructions from our CDI holders, no later than 4:00 A.M. on November 25, 2012 U.S. Eastern Standard Time (8:00 P.M. on November 25, 2012 Australian Eastern Daylight Time) in accordance with the instructions on such form. Doing so permits CDI holders to instruct CDN to vote on their behalf in accordance with their written directions. If you direct CDN to vote by completing the CDI voting instruction form, you may revoke those directions by delivering to Computershare, no later than 4:00 A.M. on November 25, 2012 U.S. Eastern Standard Time (8:00 P.M. on November 25, 2012 Australian Eastern Daylight Time), a written notice of revocation bearing a later date than the CDI voting instruction form previously sent.

CDI holders may attend the meeting, but cannot vote in person at the meeting.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The terms of office of each of our current directors will expire at the meeting. Our board has nominated for re-election each of our current directors for a one-year term, except for Marc Firestone who, as previously disclosed, decided not to stand for re-election to the board due to his commitments as senior vice president and general counsel of Phillip Morris International in Switzerland. Directors are elected by a plurality (i.e., nominees with the highest number of votes for their re-election will be elected as directors) of votes present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting. Shares represented by validly executed proxies will be voted, if authority to do so is not withheld, for the election of each of the nominees. If any of the nominees is unexpectedly unavailable for election, these shares will be voted for the election of a substitute nominee proposed by our nominating and corporate governance committee or our board may determine to reduce the size of our board. Each person nominated for election has agreed to serve if elected.

Our by-laws provide for the re-election of directors to occur by a plurality of votes. Under this mechanism, stockholders are effectively not provided with the option to vote ‘against’ a proposed resolution to re-elect a director. Stockholders who withhold their vote or vote against a director being re-elected will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the re-election of directors.

Set forth below is biographical information for the nominees as well as the key attributes, experience and skills that the board believes such nominee brings to the board. Please note that the tenure of the nominees on the Unilife board described below includes service on the board of Unilife Medical Solutions Limited (“UMSL”), our Australian predecessor.

Slavko James Joseph Bosnjak (age 63). Mr. Bosnjak has served as a member of our board of directors since February 2003 and as chairman of our board since April 2006.

Mr. Bosnjak was awarded an Order of Australia Medal in 1994 for his services to transport and the community, and also holds an honorary doctorate from the University of Western Sydney for his services related to employment growth and economic development. Our board believes that Mr. Bosnjak’s broad government and investment experience in numerous industries across Australia, Asia and Europe, as well as his long history with us and deep knowledge of our business, make him qualified to serve as a director.

Table of Contents

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our business is managed under the direction and oversight of our board. We keep board members informed of our business through discussions with management, materials we provide to them, visits to our offices, and their participation in board and board committee meetings. We believe open, effective, and accountable corporate governance practices are key to our relationship with our stockholders. Our board has adopted corporate governance guidelines that, along with the charters of our board committees and our code of business conduct and ethics, provide the framework for our governance. A complete copy of our corporate governance guidelines, the charters of our board committees, and our code of ethics may be found on the investor relations section of our website at www.unilife.com under the heading of “Corporate Governance”. Information contained on our website is not part of this proxy statement. Any changes in these governance documents will be reflected on the same location of our website.

Director Independence

Our board has determined that each of Slavko James Joseph Bosnjak, John Lund, William Galle and Mary Katherine Wold is “independent” within the meaning of Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, NASDAQ listing standards and the ASX Corporate Governance Council Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations.

Board Leadership Structure

As reflected in our corporate governance guidelines and in order to comply with the ASX Corporate Governance Council Corporate Governance Principles and Guidelines, the roles of chairman and chief executive officer are occupied by separate individuals.

Alan D. Shortall currently serves as our chief executive officer and Slavko James Joseph Bosnjak serves as our chairman of the board. We believe this leadership structure is presently the most appropriate structure for us. As chief executive officer, Mr. Shortall is responsible for setting our strategic direction and the day-to-day leadership and performance, while Mr. Bosnjak, as chairman, provides guidance to the chief executive officer, and acts as a liaison between the chief executive officer and the rest of the board.

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Our board is ultimately responsible for ensuring that appropriate risk management policies and procedures are in place to protect our assets and business. The board requires senior management to ensure that an approach to managing risk is implemented as part of our day to day operations and to design internal control systems with a view to identifying and managing material risks. The committees of our board are responsible for evaluating the risks related to their respective responsibilities and overseeing the management of such risks. Our board periodically reviews the material risks faced by us, our risk management processes and systems and the adequacy of our policies and procedures designed to respond to and mitigate these risks.

Meetings and Committees of the Board

Directors are expected to attend meetings of the board and any board committees on which they serve. The board has four standing committees to facilitate and assist the board in the execution of its responsibilities: the audit committee, the compensation committee, the nominating and corporate governance committee, and the strategic partnerships committee.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the board held 5 meetings and the audit, compensation, nominating and corporate governance, and strategic partnerships committees held 6, 4, 1 and 3 meetings, respectively. Each director attended 75% or more of the aggregate of all meetings of the board and board committees on which such director served at the time of the meetings.

Table of Contents

In accordance with our corporate governance guidelines, we make every effort to schedule our meeting of stockholders at a time and date to maximize attendance by directors taking into account the directors’ schedules. Under our corporate governance guidelines, all directors should make every effort to attend our meeting of stockholders absent an unavoidable and irreconcilable conflict. In 2011, the meeting was held in New York City and all of the directors then in office attended the meeting.

Audit Committee

The primary purpose of the audit committee is to oversee our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of our financial statements. The committee also reviews the qualifications, independence and performance, and approves the terms of engagement of our independent auditors, and reviews and approves any related party transactions. The audit committee is governed by a written charter approved by our board, a copy of which is available from the investor relations section of our website at www.unilife.com under the heading “Corporate Governance.”

The audit committee currently consists of John Lund (Chair), Slavko James Joseph Bosnjak and Mary Katherine Wold. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Lund qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under SEC rules.

Compensation Committee

The primary purpose of the compensation committee is to supervise and review our affairs as they relate to the compensation and benefits of our named executive officers. In carrying out these responsibilities, the compensation committee reviews all components of executive compensation for consistency with our compensation philosophy and with the interests of our stockholders. The compensation committee is governed by a written charter approved by our board of directors, a copy of which is available from the investor relations section of our website at www.unilife.com under the heading “Corporate Governance.”

Our compensation committee’s responsibilities include the following:

 

   

develop and implement an executive compensation policy to support overall business strategies and objectives, attract and retain key executives, link compensation with business objectives and company performance, and provide competitive compensation;

equity interests in us as disclosed in the section entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.” During fiscal 2012, none of our executive officers served on the compensation committee or board of any other entity that had any executive officer who also served on our board or our compensation committee.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The nominating and corporate governance committee oversees our director nomination and corporate governance matters. The nominating and corporate governance committee is governed by a written charter approved by our board of directors, a copy of which is available from the investor relations section of our website at www.unilife.com under the heading of “Corporate Governance”

The nominating and corporate governance committee’s primary responsibilities are to:

 

   

identify individuals qualified to become board members;

 

   

select, or recommend to the board of directors, director nominees for each election of directors;

 

   

develop and recommend to the board criteria for selecting qualified director candidates;

 

   

consider committee member qualifications, appointment and removal;

 

   

recommend corporate governance principles, codes of ethics and compliance mechanisms applicable us, and

 

   

provide oversight in the evaluation of the board and each committee.

The nominating and corporate governance committee currently consists of Marc S. Firestone (Chair), Slavko James Joseph Bosnjak, John Lund and William Galle.

Nominations Process and Director Qualifications

In evaluating candidates for directors proposed by directors, stockholders and/or management, the nominating and corporate governance committee considers the following factors, among others:

 

   

the committee’s views of the current needs of the board for certain skills, experience or other characteristics;

 

   

the candidate’s background, skills, and experience;

 

   

other characteristics and expected contributions of the candidate; and

 

   

the qualification standards established from time to time by the nominating and corporate governance committee.

The nominating and corporate governance committee considers the appropriate skills and characteristics required of board members in the context of the current makeup of the board. In accordance with our corporate governance guidelines, this assessment includes issues of diversity, age, skills such as understanding of manufacturing, technology, finance and marketing, and international background, all in the context of an assessment of the perceived needs of the board at that point in time. Pursuant to our corporate governance guidelines, directors should possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values, and be committed to representing the long-term interests of stockholders. They must also have an inquisitive and objective perspective and mature judgment.

In identifying director nominees, the nominating and corporate governance committee first evaluates the current members of the board willing to continue in service. Current members of the board with skills and experience that are relevant to our business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for

re-nomination, balancing the value of continuity of service by existing members of the board with that of obtaining a new perspective. If any member of the board does not wish to continue in service or if the nominating and corporate governance committee or the board decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the nominating and corporate governance committee identifies the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria above. Other than the foregoing, there are no specific, minimum qualifications that the nominating and corporate governance committee believes that a committee-recommended nominee to the board of directors must possess, although the nominating and corporate governance committee may also consider such other factors as it may deem are in the best interests of us and our stockholders. If the nominating and corporate governance committee believes, at any time, that the board requires additional candidates for nomination, the committee may engage, as appropriate, a third party search firm to assist in identifying qualified candidates. The nominating and corporate governance committee also considers suggestions of nominees from our stockholders. Stockholders may recommend individuals for consideration by following the procedures set forth in our bylaws.

Strategic Partnerships Committee

The primary purpose of the strategic partnerships committee is to provide support to our senior management in establishing and maintaining strategic partnership relationships between us, pharmaceutical companies, potential customers and other third parties that the committee considers can be of strategic importance in our growth. To that end, the strategic partnerships committee will review and evaluate strategic partnership status, strategies and opportunities with our senior management, assist our senior management in developing strategic partnerships and relationships and, from time to time, initiate proposals and make recommendations on strategic partnerships. The strategic partnerships committee is governed by a written charter approved by our board of directors, a copy of which is available from the investor relations section of our website at www.unilife.com under the heading of “Corporate Governance.”

The strategic partnerships committee currently consists of Mary Katherine Wold (Chair), Alan D. Shortall, William Galle, John Lund and Marc S. Firestone.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our board has adopted a code of business conduct and ethics which meets the definition of “code of ethics” under the SEC rules. The code applies to all of our employees and directors. A copy of the code of business conduct and ethics is available from the investor relations section of our website at www.unilife.com under the heading “Corporate Governance.” We intend to disclose any amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of the code that applies to any of our principal executive, financial or accounting officers in the investor relations section of our website.

We paid Mr. Carter an annual cash fee for all of his services as a director. We did not compensate him separately for attendance at meetings or for service on board committees.

On September 30, 2011, the board of directors approved the grant of 15,000 stock-based awards for each of 2011, 2012 and 2013 under our 2009 Stock Incentive Plan to each of our non-executive directors who were serving on the board of directors as of September 30, 2011, provided that the director continues to be a non-executive director of the Company at the time of issue of the stock-based awards and subject to our obtaining stockholder approval for these grants at the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders. Having obtained such stockholder approval, the first grant of stock-based awards, for fiscal 2011 service, was made on December 8, 2011 to each of our non-executive directors re-elected at the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders; the second grant of 15,000 stock-based awards, for fiscal 2012 service, was made on June 30, 2012; and a subsequent grant of stock-based awards of the same magnitude is scheduled to be made to each eligible non-executive director on June 30, 2013 who continues to serve as our non-executive director on that date. The non-executive directors choose whether to receive such stock-based awards in the form of fully vested shares of our common stock (or CDIs) or in the form of fully vested deferred stock units. Each deferred stock unit represents the right to be issued one share of our common stock (or six CDIs which are equivalent to one share of common stock) when the non-executive director’s service on the board of directors ceases for any reason.

Stock Ownership and Retention Guidelines for Non-Executive Directors

In September 2011, our board adopted new stock ownership and retention guidelines for non-executive directors. Previously, our corporate governance guidelines acknowledged our board’s belief that directors should be stockholders in order to align their interests with the long-term interests of our stockholders, but the guidelines did not establish a level of share ownership for individual directors. With the adoption of the new stock ownership and retention guidelines, specific ownership and retention standards are set, as follows.

Stock Ownership Guideline

Each non-executive director is strongly encouraged to acquire and hold shares of our common stock having an aggregate value equal to four times his or her annual cash compensation for service on the board and board

 

11


Table of Contents

committees, excluding for this purpose meeting fees and expense reimbursements. For purposes of this stock ownership guideline, directly and indirectly owned shares, unvested shares of restricted stock, and vested and unvested stock units are counted as shares owned, but unexercised stock options are not. Directors are expected to achieve their ownership goal within three years after the board’s initial adoption of this stock ownership guideline or the director’s appointment to the board, whichever is later.

This stock ownership guideline applies to the minimum number of shares that have an aggregate fair market value equal to the director’s ownership goal on the date that his or her ownership interest first meets the applicable ownership goal. Upon meeting the ownership goal, that number of shares becomes fixed and ownership of that number of shares must be maintained until the end of the director’s service on the board. A director’s ownership goal will not change as a result of changes in his or her annual cash compensation or fluctuations in the price of our common stock.

To facilitate achievement of the ownership goal, until the ownership goal is achieved the director is expected to retain all of the “net gain shares” resulting from the exercise of stock options, the grant of vested shares, or the vesting of restricted stock or stock units granted under our equity incentive plans. “Net gain shares” means the net number of shares remaining after reduction by the number of shares of common stock that the director would need to sell to cover the exercise price and taxes owed with respect to the grant, exercise or vesting event (assuming for this purpose a flat 40 percent tax rate and sale of shares at the closing price on the date of the taxable event).

Stock Retention Guideline

To further align the interests of the non-executive directors with those of our stockholders, in addition to satisfying the ownership goal described above, a further retention requirement applies to shares acquired from us by each non-executive director. Sixty percent of all net gain shares that are issued to the director after his or her achievement of the ownership goal, which net gain shares result from the exercise of stock options, the grant of vested shares, or the vesting of restricted stock or stock units granted under our equity incentive plans, and are not otherwise subject to the ownership goal are expected to be held until the end of the director’s service on the board. This retention guideline applies to net gain shares that arise in connection with stock options, restricted stock awards and stock units outstanding as of the date the guideline is adopted by the board and stock-based awards granted after that date.

Waiver and Modification of Guidelines

These stock ownership and retention guidelines may be waived at the discretion of a majority of the members of the compensation committee in the event compliance would place severe hardship on a director or prevent a director from complying with a court order, as in the case of divorce settlement; provided, however, that a member of the compensation committee may not cast a vote on his or her own waiver request. It is expected that these instances of waiver requests will be rare.

The board may, upon recommendation of the compensation committee, amend or modify these stock ownership and retention guidelines at any time, in whole or in part.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 — RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The audit committee is directly responsible for the appointment, retention, compensation and oversight of the work of our independent registered public accounting firm. In making its determination regarding whether to appoint or retain a particular independent registered public accounting firm, the audit committee takes into account the views of management.

The audit committee has appointed KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013. KPMG has acted in such capacity since its appointment in March 2010 to replace BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd (“BDO”). The audit committee has considered whether KPMG’s provision of services other than audit services is compatible with maintaining independence as our independent registered public accounting firm and determined that such services are compatible.

Although ratification by stockholders is not a prerequisite to the ability of the audit committee to select KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm, we believe such ratification to be desirable. Accordingly, stockholders are being requested to ratify, confirm and approve the selection of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013. If the stockholders do not ratify the selection of KPMG, the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm will be reconsidered by the audit committee; however, the audit committee may select KPMG notwithstanding the failure of the stockholders to ratify its selection. If the appointment of KPMG is ratified, the audit committee will continue to conduct an ongoing review of KPMG’s scope of engagement, pricing and work quality, among other factors, and will retain the right to replace KPMG at any time.

Representatives of KPMG are expected to be present at the meeting, with the opportunity to make a statement if the representatives desire to do so. It is also expected that they will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Fees Paid

The following table sets forth the fees for services provided by KPMG during the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Policy

It is the audit committee’s policy to approve in advance the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm for all audit services and non-audit services. The audit committee may delegate authority to pre-approve audit or non-audit services to one or more of its members. Any pre-approval authorized by a member of the audit committee to whom authority has been delegated must specify clearly in writing the services and fees approved by such member. Any member to whom such authority is delegated shall report any pre-approval decisions made under such delegated authority to the audit committee at its next scheduled meeting. All of the 2012 and 2011 fees paid to the independent registered public accounting firm described above were pre-approved by the audit committee in accordance with the pre-approval policy.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The audit committee of our board is composed of John Lund (Chairman), Slavko James Joseph Bosnjak and Mary Katherine Wold. The audit committee members are not professional accountants or auditors (although Mr. Lund is a certified public accountant, he currently does not work as an accountant or auditor). Management has the primary responsibility for preparing the financial statements and designing and assessing the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Management is responsible for maintaining appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles and policies and the internal controls and procedures that provide for compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. In this context, the audit committee has reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012 filed with the SEC.

The audit committee also has discussed with KPMG the matters required to be discussed by the statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1, AU section 380), as amended, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T.

The audit committee has received the written disclosures and the letters from KPMG required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding KPMG’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence and has discussed with KPMG their independence.

Based on the audit committee’s review and discussions with management and KPMG, the audit committee recommended that our board include the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 filed with the SEC.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

RISK MANAGEMENT AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION

Our compensation committee has reviewed our compensation systems and has determined that it is not reasonably likely that our compensation plans would have a material adverse effect on us for the following reasons:

 

   

Any operational performance objectives of our annual cash incentive and stock-based grant programs are objectives that are reviewed and approved by our compensation committee and board.

 

   

The strategic milestones for our annual cash incentive program for our named executive officers are based on the same set of company goals as for other employees.

 

   

Our annual cash incentive program is designed to reward bonus-eligible employees for committing to and delivering goals that are aligned with our strategic plan, with objectives linked to our strategic plan or performance.

 

   

The performance goals are reviewed by senior management and our board of directors to ensure that they are focused on business activity that advances the stockholders’ interests and do not encourage excessive or potentially damaging risk-taking.

 

   

The amount of annual cash incentive compensation is not set at such an aggressive level that it would induce bonus-eligible employees to take inappropriate risks that could threaten our financial and operating stability.

 

   

Because the performance measures for our annual cash incentive program are based on strategic objectives of our business plan, we do not believe that any of the goals approved under our annual cash incentive compensation program would encourage manipulation of reported earnings to enhance the compensation of any employee.

 

   

Our compensation programs are balanced to avoid too much focus on stock-based or annual cash incentive compensation, do not contain highly leveraged payout curves or uncapped payouts, do not set unreasonable thresholds and do not encourage short-term business decisions to meet payout thresholds.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Introduction

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes our compensation philosophy and practices for those individuals who were our most highly compensated executives based on their fiscal 2012 compensation. We refer to these individuals as “named executive officers.” Our fiscal year begins on July 1st and ends on June 30th of each year. Thus, all references to “fiscal 2012” mean the period that spans July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012.

Our named executive officers are:

 

   

Alan D. Shortall, who is our chief executive officer;

 

   

R. Richard Wieland II, who is our executive vice president and chief financial officer;

 

   

Ramin Mojdehbakhsh, Ph.D. (Dr. Mojdeh), who is our executive vice president and chief operating officer;

 

   

J. Christopher Naftzger, who is our vice president, general counsel, corporate secretary and chief compliance officer; and

 

   

Mark V. Iampietro, who is our vice president, quality systems and regulatory affairs.

Executive Summary

Fiscal 2012 was our second full year as a public company in the United States. As we began the year, we set a number of important goals for our company for fiscal 2012, including the following:

 

   

Commercializing the Unifill ® syringe and launching new products;

 

   

Strengthening our financial position; and

 

   

Further developing our technical staff resources.

By the end of the 2012 fiscal year, we achieved these goals and made significant progress building our business. Our major achievements for fiscal 2012 include the following:

 

   

We designed, prototyped and presented a number of new products, including a novel drug delivery device, a dual-chambered syringe for lyophilized drugs, an auto-injector which incorporates Unifill ® syringe technology, and an infusion pump with unique drug delivery capability.

 

   

We have realigned our business to enhance operational focus, spur product development, improve efficiencies and drive continuous growth.

 

   

We have built a strong team of technical talent to accelerate our development of a diversified and highly innovative portfolio of advanced drug delivery systems and to customize our products for our pharmaceutical customers.

When designing the annual and long-term compensation program for our named executive officers, our compensation committee balanced the creation of appropriate incentives for the achievement of our strategic goals with the desire to conserve cash. We believe that our compensation program for our named executive officers was instrumental in helping us achieve our objectives for fiscal 2012. Highlights of the committee’s compensation decisions include the following:

 

   

We made one market-based adjustment to base salaries for Messrs. Naftzger and Iampietro, effective January 1, 2012.

 

   

All of our named executive officers earned 100% of their target cash incentive awards for calendar year 2011, or in the case of Mr. Shortall for fiscal year 2012, at the levels provided in their employment agreements. These awards were paid in one installment in March 2012, or in the case of Mr. Shortall in December 2011, based on satisfaction of the officers’ personal key performance indicators, or KPIs, established by the compensation committee.

 

   

We did not pay any bonuses in addition to the cash incentive awards described above to any named executive officer.

 

   

Except for Messrs. Shortall and Wieland, we awarded restricted stock in March 2012 to our named executive officers as an annual stock-based award, as described below under “Long-Term Incentive Compensation”.

 

   

We entered into new employment agreements with Mr. Shortall and Dr. Mojdeh, extending the terms of their employment with us by several years to ensure continuity of management, and in conjunction with those agreements granted time- and performance-based long-term incentive compensation awards to them.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The compensation committee of our board of directors is responsible for reviewing and approving the compensation payable to our named executive officers. The compensation committee follows an executive compensation philosophy that includes the following considerations:

 

   

a pay-for-performance orientation that delivers pay based on company and individual performance;

 

17


Table of Contents
   

long-term incentives, in the form of stock-based awards, to more closely align the interests of named executive officers with the long-term interests of stockholders; and

 

   

individual wealth accumulation through long-term incentives to supplement retirement contributions to the company’s 401(k) plan.

The primary objectives of our executive compensation program are to deliver a competitive package to attract, motivate and retain key executives and to align their compensation with our overall business goals, core values and stockholder interests. We aim to provide total compensation that is appropriate for an organization of our size and stage of development and that will support continued recruitment of top talent and retention of the executive team we have built. We link a substantial portion of compensation to our achievement of strategic objectives and the individual’s contribution to the attainment of those objectives. In addition, we encourage ownership of our common stock among our executive team through our long-term incentive plan to align executive compensation with the long-term interests of our stockholders.

We expect that our primary compensation objectives will reinforce consistent attainment of our key strategic goals and motivate and retain the executive talent we have hired.

Setting Executive Compensation

Our compensation committee has engaged Radford, an Aon Hewitt company, as an independent third party consulting firm, to assist it by providing competitive compensation data for named executive officers. Radford also has assisted the compensation committee in developing a peer group of companies for benchmarking executive compensation.

In determining whether adjustments should be made to the compensation packages for our named executive officers for calendar year 2012, the compensation committee considered compensation data from the Radford Global Life Sciences Survey or “Radford Survey”. Our compensation committee determined that an appropriate goal for total compensation (cash and equity) of our named executive officers should be between the 50th and 75th percentiles of the Radford Survey.

Our compensation committee used a formula approach to determining the size of stock-based awards to be granted annually to our named executive officers and other senior management, other than our chief executive officer, for calendar year 2012. Specifically the compensation committee approved awards, as a percentage of base salary, which percentage is based on an individual’s title (senior and executive vice presidents — up to 50%, other vice presidents — up to 35%, directors and business unit leaders — up to 30%). Going forward, our compensation committee will also consider actual ongoing equity grants as reported in the Radford Survey when making annual stock-based grants and may award different percentages of base salary to different members of senior management based on market data and individual performance.

We implement our annual cash incentive program using calendar year performance periods for executives other than our chief executive officer and fiscal year performance periods for our chief executive officer. As more fully described below under “Annual Cash Incentive Compensation and Bonuses,” the KPIs established for the 2011 and 2012 calendar and fiscal year performance periods represent key strategic objectives relating to the further development of our management and technical team, the introduction of additional products, and building stockholder value.

Benchmarking

The compensation committee uses independent verifiable data and information as well as the business judgment of the committee members in making decisions concerning executive compensation. An important element of this process is the evaluation of compensation practices among companies in our industry. For this

 

18


Table of Contents

purpose the compensation committee uses the Radford Survey and reviews the 50th and 75th percentile compensation data to benchmark compensation. In addition, Radford assisted the compensation committee in developing an appropriate peer group against which various elements of our executive compensation package are benchmarked. This group is referred to as the comparison group. The comparison group consists of 20 medical equipment/device and related companies, with last fiscal year (“LFY”) median revenues and market capitalization of approximately $127 million and $483 million, respectively. This comparison group has changed from the one used by us in 2011 due to acquisitions and other changes. The market cap and employee data set forth below is based on the most current data available as of September 10, 2012.

In addition to data from the comparison group, the committee may consider other public data, as well as survey data, in reviewing executive compensation.

Elements of Compensation

The key elements of our executive compensation program are summarized in the table below.

 

COMPONENT

  

DESCRIPTION

   PURPOSE

Base salary

   Fixed cash compensation that is based on scope of responsibilities, experience, and competitive pay practices.    Provide a fixed, baseline level of
compensation.

Annual cash incentives

   Cash payment tied to performance during the year.    Reward the company’s
achieving or exceeding annual
performance and strategic
objectives and individual
contributions to the company’s
performance.

Long-term stock-based compensation:

 

        • Stock options

 

        • Restricted stock awards

  

 

Right to purchase shares after vesting at an exercise price equal to the closing price on the grant date.

 

Grant of shares that are forfeited if employment terminates before vesting occurs.

   Increase executive ownership,
promote executive retention,
align compensation with the
achievement of long-term
performance objectives and
reward the creation of
stockholder value.

Other benefits and perquisites

   Noncash compensation generally nominal in value relative to total compensation, which may consist of components such as temporary housing and relocation assistance, family travel expense reimbursement, car allowance and insurance premiums.    Provide a competitive pay
package to attract and retain
highly qualified leaders.

The compensation committee believes this combination of cash and stock-based compensation furthers the objectives of our executive compensation program. Based on prevailing market practices, our compensation committee provides a mix of salary, annual cash incentive and stock-based awards to offer a competitive compensation package. This structure also promotes our pay-for-performance philosophy by linking pay levels to both our short-term performance (through annual incentive awards) and long-term performance (through stock options and restricted stock awards). A significant portion of compensation is also provided through stock-based compensation awards, which align the interests of the executives with our stockholders, promote executive retention and reward the creation of stockholder value. By providing a significant portion of compensation through stock-based compensation awards, our named executive officers’ compensation fluctuates with the movement of our stock price, thus they share in both upward and downward movement of our stock value.

There is no pre-established policy for allocation of compensation between cash and non-cash components or between short-term and long-term components. Instead, the compensation committee determines the mix of compensation for each named executive officer based on its review of competitive data and the compensation committee’s subjective analysis of that individual’s performance and contribution to our performance.

Table of Contents

Base Salary

It is the compensation committee’s objective to set a competitive rate of annual base salary for each named executive officer. The compensation committee believes competitive base salaries are necessary to attract and retain top quality executives, since it is common practice for public companies to provide their executive officers with a guaranteed annual component of compensation that is not subject to performance risk. Base salary levels are designed to recognize an individual’s ongoing contribution, to be commensurate with an individual’s experience and organization level and to be competitive with market benchmarks. Mr. Shortall, Dr. Mojdeh and Mr. Wieland declined increases in base salary for calendar year 2012. Our compensation committee approved market-based increases to the base salaries of Messrs. Naftzger and Iampietro, effective January 1, 2012, and will determine whether and when to adjust the base salaries of the named executive officers in the future. In doing so, our compensation committee will consider each named executive officer’s performance and level of responsibility and market data for similar positions.

Annual Cash Incentive Compensation and Bonuses

We implement our annual cash incentive program using calendar year performance periods for all executives other than our chief executive officer; our chief executive officer’s annual cash incentive is based on a fiscal year performance period. There is not a formal written plan for our annual cash incentive program, but instead target cash incentive opportunities are specified in each named executive officer’s offer letter or employment agreement. More information regarding the target cash incentive opportunity for each of these named executive officers is provided in the footnotes to the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table on page 31. Our compensation committee, in consultation with our board of directors, establishes the KPIs against which our chief executive officer will be measured for each fiscal year. Our chief executive officer, in consultation with our compensation committee, establishes and communicates to the other named executive officers KPIs against which each named executive’s performance will be measured for that calendar year. Our chief executive officer provides the compensation committee with a review of the performance of the other named executive officers and makes recommendations to the compensation committee as to the level of cash incentive to be paid based on that performance. In accordance with our compensation committee’s charter, our compensation committee evaluates the performance of each named executive officer in light of his KPIs and determines the amount of any annual incentive compensation earned by the named executive officer based on such evaluation.

Prior to the 2011 calendar year, the annual cash incentives were paid semi-annually based on evaluation of achievements as of the end of each June and December. For the 2010 calendar year performance period, performance for the six-month period ending June 30, 2010 was evaluated in July but payment of the amounts earned was deferred until mid-December 2010. Performance for the six-month period ending December 31, 2010 was evaluated after the close of the calendar year and the amounts earned were paid in March 2011. Thus, the amounts reflected in the Summary Compensation Table for fiscal 2011 reflect the payment of cash incentives in respect of calendar year 2010 because such amounts were earned and paid in fiscal 2011. The delay in paying the amounts earned during the first six-month performance period of the 2010 calendar year was the first step in our transition to a program of evaluating performance on an annual basis, rather than a semi-annual basis, and paying a single annual cash incentive payment.

All of our named executive officers earned 100% of their target cash incentive awards for calendar year 2011, or in the case of Mr. Shortall for fiscal year 2012, at the levels provided in their employment agreements. These awards were paid in one installment in March 2012, or in the case of Mr. Shortall in December 2011, based on satisfaction of the officers’ personal KPIs established by the compensation committee. Although our fiscal year ends on June 30, our performance year for our cash incentive program is based on a calendar year, except for Mr. Shortall whose cash incentive program is based on fiscal year performance. Thus, the payments we made to the named executive officers, other than Mr. Shortall, in March 2012 related to the 2011 calendar year performance period which included the first six months of fiscal 2012. Mr. Shortall received payment of his fiscal 2012 cash incentive award in December 2011 upon the compensation committee’s determination that he had achieved the majority of his fiscal 2012 KPIs by that time.

Our compensation committee may also determine to provide discretionary bonuses in addition to the target cash incentive opportunity to reward executives for contributions and achievements other than the executive’s pre-established KPIs. No such discretionary bonuses were awarded to our named executive officers during fiscal 2012.

The compensation committee in October 2010 approved KPIs for calendar 2011 for Messrs Wieland, Naftzger and Iampietro and for fiscal 2011 for Mr. Shortall. Subsequently, in June 2011, our compensation committee approved revised KPIs for calendar and fiscal 2011 for Messrs. Shortall, Wieland, Naftzger and Iampietro and for Dr. Mojdeh. These revised KPIs reflect the business realignment which we commenced in March 2011. The following is a summary description of these revised KPIs:

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

As described above, stock-based incentives are a key component of our executive compensation program. Employee ownership is a core value of our operating culture. Management and the compensation committee believe that stock ownership encourages our executives to create value for us over the long term. They also believe that stock ownership promotes retention and affiliation with us by aligning executive interests with those of our stockholders and allowing our executives to share in our long-term success after satisfying multi-year vesting requirements.

Our long-term incentive compensation has been in the form of grants of stock options and restricted stock awards, with all such grants made during fiscal 2012 having been made under our stockholder-approved 2009 Stock Incentive Plan. All of our stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. We view stock options as an important element of performance-based compensation because a stock option provides no realizable value to a recipient until the vesting requirements have been met and will increase in value only as the trading price of our shares increases following the grant of the stock options. Similarly, we view restricted stock awards as an important element of performance-based compensation because, as a stockholder, the named executive officer shares in both the upside and the downside risk of movements in the market price of our common stock. We believe that this sharing in the downside risk, which is not a feature of stock options, coupled with multi-year vesting periods helps to keep the named executive officers focused on the interests of our stockholders over the long term.

For retention purposes, we have granted stock options and restricted stock awards to our named executive officers that vest over time based on continuous employment with us through the relevant vesting dates. In addition, for incentive purposes, we have granted stock options and restricted stock awards to certain of our named executive officers that vest upon achievement of specified performance criteria, including the accomplishment of strategic business milestones, our attaining specified market capitalization targets, or the trading price of our common stock reaching specified levels for sustained periods.

On September 30, 2011, we entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Shortall that extends the term of his employment with us as our chief executive officer until December 31, 2014. His then-existing employment agreement was set to expire on December 31, 2011. Pursuant to the terms of the new agreement, the Committee approved the grant of new long-term incentive awards to Mr. Shortall in the form of 750,000 stock options with time-based vesting conditions and 1,166,000 shares of restricted stock with performance-based vesting conditions, each of which were granted effective January 3, 2012 after obtaining stockholder approval of the awards. See the narrative following the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal 2012 table on page 31 for more information about the terms of these long-term incentive awards to Mr. Shortall.

On June 14, 2012, we entered into a new employment agreement with Dr. Mojdeh, with an initial four and a half year term, until December 31, 2016. In connection with the employment agreement, the compensation committee approved a grant to Dr. Mojdeh, effective June 14, 2012, of 1,250,000 restricted shares of our common stock. The restricted shares will vest in accordance with the terms of the restricted stock agreement entered into by the Company and Dr. Mojdeh on June 14, 2012, or Stock Agreement, and provided that Dr. Mojdeh remains continuously employed with us through the relevant vesting milestones. See the narrative following the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal 2012 table on page 31 for more information about the terms of this long-term incentive award to Dr. Mojdeh.

Savings Plans

We do not provide for wealth accumulation for retirement through defined benefit pension plans or supplemental executive retirement plans, nor do we anticipate doing so in the future. Our U.S. subsidiary, Unilife Medical Solutions, Inc., maintains a broad-based 401(k) plan that permits our employees, including our named executive officers, to accumulate savings for retirement on a tax-deferred basis. Our U.S. subsidiary commenced

Table of Contents

matching employee contributions under the 401(k) plan in January, 2012, including matching contributions to named executive officers who contribute to the 401(k).

Other Benefits and Perquisites

The named executive officers are eligible to participate in employee benefit programs generally offered to our other employees. In addition, we provide certain other perquisites to the named executive officers that are not generally available to other employees. Our compensation committee reviews these benefits and perquisites. We also provide temporary housing and other relocation assistance when certain employees, including named executive officers, are hired or relocated for business reasons. We anticipate continuing to offer newly hired or relocated employees relocation benefits which are competitive and appropriate for their level of responsibility. For more detailed information regarding benefits and perquisites provided to the named executive officers, see the footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table on page 30.

Severance

Severance provisions are set forth in the employment agreements with our named executive officers. Further information regarding the severance benefits of our named executive officers is described under — “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control.”

We will continue the severance obligations under these employment agreements. We believe that severance benefits allow us to attract and retain talented executives, and to entice other potential employees to accept positions with us and to relocate to our central Pennsylvania headquarters. In establishing these arrangements, we consider that we do not provide defined benefit pension or supplemental executive retirement plan benefits.

Guidelines for Share Ownership and Holding Periods for Stock-based Awards for Named Executive Officers

Our chief executive officer is also currently our largest stockholder. Although we do not have formal stock ownership requirements for our named executive officers, our chief executive officer’s ownership position assists in ensuring that management decisions are aligned with stockholder interests. Moreover, under the terms of the stock option and restricted stock awards that our chief executive officer received in fiscal 2010, he may not dispose of the net gain shares received under those awards before the first anniversary on which the awards become vested with respect to such shares. This holding period requirement expires if his employment terminates or we undergo a change in control. Net gain shares are the shares remaining after satisfaction of tax withholding obligations and/or payment of the option exercise price via share withholding. As of the date of this proxy statement, none of the 834,000 stock options or 1,166,000 shares of restricted stock granted on February 3, 2010 to our chief executive officer have vested. In light of his already substantial ownership position, these holding period requirements were not included in the stock option and restricted stock awards that our chief executive officer received in fiscal 2012.

In May 2011, the board discussed adopting stock ownership guidelines to require our executive officers and directors to accumulate and hold a minimum number of shares of our common stock to ensure that their interests are aligned with stockholder interests. While the board decided in September 2011 to establish stock ownership and retention guidelines for non-executive directors, the board decided not to adopt similar guidelines for our executive officers at that time. Our compensation committee will continue to review this matter on a yearly basis in consultation with our compensation consultants.

Potential Impact on Compensation from Executive Misconduct

Because of the subjective nature of certain aspects of executive incentive compensation, at present we have no formal policies and/or provisions with respect to the adjustment or recovery of awards or payments if the

 

27


Table of Contents

relative performance measures upon which they are based are restated or otherwise adjusted in a manner that would have reduced the size of an award or payment. These types of provisions are often referred to as recoupment or claw-back policies. In June 2011, our compensation committee evaluated the advisability of adopting a claw-back policy to protect our investors from financial misconduct. The compensation committee determined that we should adopt such a policy once the SEC issues regulations under the recently enacted Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or “Dodd-Frank”, about the proper form and scope of the claw-back policy required under that Act. The compensation committee wishes to ensure that we implement a fully compliant policy at one time, rather than implement an interim policy that may require amendment after the SEC regulations are released. In the meantime, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer are and shall remain subject to Section 304 of SOX, which provides that if a financial restatement is required due to the material noncompliance of the issuer, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, then the issuer’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer must repay the issuer any amounts received as incentive-based or stock-based compensation and profits received from the sale of securities if such amounts are received during the 12 months following the filing of the inaccurate financial statements.

Tax Matters

Section 162(m) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, places a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount of compensation that publicly held corporations may deduct for United States federal tax purposes in any one year with respect to certain named executive officers.

To the extent that Section 162(m) applies to our compensation program for our named executive officers, our compensation committee follows a general practice of considering the adverse effect of Section 162(m) on the deductibility of compensation when designing annual and long-term compensation programs and approving payouts under these programs. While the tax treatment of compensation is important, the primary factor influencing program design is the support of business objectives. Consequently, our compensation committee reserves the right to design and administer compensation programs in a manner that does not satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) and to approve the payment of nondeductible compensation, if the compensation committee believes doing so is in our best interest.

Accounting Matters

We record compensation expenses from our stock-based incentive compensation awards in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. We estimate the grant-date fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the exception of market-based grants, which are valued based on the Monte Carlo pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock is measured on the date of grant using the closing price of our common stock on that date.

Role of Stockholder Say-on-Pay Votes

We provide our stockholders with the opportunity to cast an annual, nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation (a “say-on-pay proposal”). At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on December 1, 2011, approximately 86% of the votes cast on the say-on-pay proposal at that meeting were voted in favor of the proposal. Our compensation committee considered the outcome of that advisory vote to be an endorsement of the compensation committee’s compensation philosophy and implementation. As such, in making its decisions regarding executive compensation for fiscal 2012, the compensation committee chose to retain the fiscal 2011 structure of the executive compensation program while making quantitative adjustments to reflect the performance of our company and our named executive officers in fiscal 2012. The compensation committee will continue to consider the outcome of our company’s say-on-pay votes when making future compensation decisions for the named executive officers.

* Includes only those columns relating to grants awarded to the named executive officers in fiscal 2012. All other columns have been omitted.
(1) Award Type:

OP = stock option

RS = restricted stock award

AIC = annual incentive cash award

(2) Pursuant to Mr. Shortall’s employment agreement, Mr. Shortall’s annual cash incentive award is based on a performance period that aligns with our fiscal year. The annual cash incentive award for each of our other named executive officers is based on a calendar year performance period with amounts earned, if any, payable in the first quarter of the subsequent calendar year. Amounts in this column for our named executive officers other than Mr. Shortall reflect the annual incentive compensation target award opportunity for the calendar year 2012 performance period which commenced in the middle of our 2012 fiscal year.

The non-equity incentive plan award opportunity for each of our named executive officers with whom we have employment agreements is specified as a term of his employment agreement. Although the employment agreements of Messrs. Wieland and Naftzger expired on June 30, 2012, the compensation committee set the non-equity incentive plan award opportunity for those named executive officers for calendar year 2012 at the levels indicated in their employment agreements in effect at the beginning of the calendar year. The non-equity incentive plan award opportunity for our named executive officers, in all cases, is a discretionary amount expressed as a percentage of base salary, subject to achievement of KPIs established by our compensation committee. Those percentages are as follows:

Table of Contents

The amounts reflected in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal 2012 table on page 31 as targeted estimated future payout of non-incentive plan awards reflect these percentages of base salary as each named executive officer’s award opportunity for the year. With respect to our named executive officers other than our chief executive officer, their fiscal 2012 award opportunities are for services performed throughout the 2012 calendar year and paid, to the extent earned, during the first quarter of calendar year 2013. Our chief executive officer’s fiscal 2012 award opportunity is for services performed during the 2012 fiscal year.

Although our fiscal year ends on June 30, our performance year for our annual cash incentive program for our named executive officers is based on a calendar year, except for Mr. Shortall whose cash incentive program is based on fiscal year performance. Thus, the payments we made to the named executive officers, other than Mr. Shortall, in March 2012 related to the 2011 calendar year performance period which included the first six months of fiscal 2012. Mr. Shortall received payment of his fiscal 2012 cash incentive award in December 2011 upon the compensation committee’s determination that he had achieved the majority of his fiscal 2012 KPIs by that time. All of these amounts are reported in the Summary Compensation Table on page 30 for fiscal 2012.

On September 30, 2011, we entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Shortall that extends the term of his employment with us as our chief executive officer until December 31, 2014. His then-existing employment agreement was set to expire on December 31, 2011. Pursuant to the terms of the new agreement, the Committee approved the grant of new long-term incentive awards to Mr. Shortall in the form of 750,000 stock options with time-based vesting conditions and 1,166,000 shares of restricted stock with performance-based vesting conditions, each of which were granted effective January 3, 2012 after obtaining stockholder approval of the awards.

The stock options were granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the grant date, January 3, 2012 and have a ten-year term. Their vesting is tied to Mr. Shortall’s continued employment with us. Specifically, the stock options are scheduled to vest in three equal installments as follows:

 

   

250,000 of the stock options will vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the grant date,

 

   

250,000 of the stock options will vest and become exercisable on the second anniversary of the grant date, and

 

   

250,000 of the stock options will vest and become exercisable on the third anniversary of the grant date.

There are no other performance conditions or other requirements attaching to the stock options other than the requirement that Mr. Shortall continues to be employed by us. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the stock options will immediately become vested and exercisable upon (i) the occurrence of a change in control event (as defined in our 2009 Stock Incentive Plan), (ii) the death of Mr. Shortall, or (iii) Mr. Shortall ceasing to be employed by us by reason of disability. The stock options will lapse if Mr. Shortall ceases to be employed by us, except for reason of death or disability, prior to the vesting of the stock options.

Shares of restricted stock are a form of US security which are not available in Australia but which are commonly used in the United States as a form of incentive for executives and/or directors. Although shares of restricted stock have been issued to Mr. Shortall, Mr. Shortall will not be able to transfer the restricted stock until certain performance milestones are achieved (as described below) and the restricted stock will be forfeited if the performance milestones are not achieved within the prescribed period or if certain other events occur.

The shares of restricted stock granted to Mr. Shortall on January 3, 2012 are scheduled to vest as follows:

 

   

Product shipment to a pharmaceutical company for drug stability studies or drug clinical trials — 5% per drug.

 

32


Table of Contents
   

The signing of a development agreement with a pharmaceutical company for the development or customization of a Unilife product with scheduled payments of up to $3,000,000 — 5% per agreement.

 

   

The signing of a development agreement with a pharmaceutical company for the development or customization of a Unilife product with scheduled payments between $3,000,000 and $5,000,000 — 10% per agreement.

 

   

The signing of a development agreement with a pharmaceutical company for the development or customization of a Unilife product with scheduled payments in excess of $5,000,000 — 20% per agreement.

 

   

The signing of a commercial supply agreement for a Unilife product with sales of up to $25,000,000 — 15% per agreement.

 

   

The signing of a commercial supply agreement for a Unilife product with sales in excess of $25,000,000 — 25% per agreement.

 

   

Annual revenue in excess of $100,000,000 — 50%.

 

   

Annual revenue in excess of $200,000,000 — 100%.

Given our company’s transformation into a developer of advanced drug delivery devices to meet the specific needs of pharmaceutical companies, the compensation committee believes that it is important to set performance milestones that do not limit Mr. Shortall’s compensation to any one product, pharmaceutical customer or performance metric. The foregoing milestones were crafted by the compensation committee to allow Mr. Shortall and us flexibility to pursue various commercial paths that should result in increased stockholder value. Although Mr. Shortall could meet several of the foregoing milestones that in total would exceed 100%, under the terms of the grant, Mr. Shortall is capped at 100% or a total of 1,166,000 shares of restricted stock. For example, we enter into (i) an agreement with a pharmaceutical company for product for one stability test (5%), (ii) two development agreements for a Unilife product in excess of $5,000,000 (20% each) and (iii) and three commercial supply agreements for a Unilife product of up to $25,000,000 (15% each), 90% of Mr. Shortall’s restricted stock would have vested under the grant. If the company then enters into a commercial supply agreement for a Unilife product with sales in excess of $25,000,000, which according to the foregoing schedule should result in 25% of his restricted stock vesting, Mr. Shortall would only receive 10% as he is capped at 100%. Thereafter, Mr. Shortall would not receive any additional shares of restricted stock no matter what other milestones are met during the term of his employment agreement. The compensation committee has sole discretion to determine whether and when a particular vesting condition has been satisfied.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the shares of restricted stock will immediately vest upon (i) the occurrence of a change in control (as defined in our 2009 Stock Incentive Plan), (ii) the death of Mr. Shortall, or (iii) Mr. Shortall ceasing to be employed by us by reason of disability. The shares of restricted stock will be forfeited if Mr. Shortall voluntarily resigns or if we terminate his employment with us for cause. The shares of restricted stock will be forfeited, to the extent not yet vested, on the fifth anniversary of the grant date.

On June 14, 2012, we entered into a new employment agreement with Dr. Mojdeh, with an initial four and a half year term, until December 31, 2016. In connection with the employment agreement, the compensation committee approved a grant to Dr. Mojdeh, effective June 14, 2012, of 1,250,000 restricted shares of our common stock. The restricted shares will vest in accordance with the terms of the restricted stock agreement entered into by our company and Dr. Mojdeh on June 14, 2012, or Stock Agreement, and provided that Dr. Mojdeh remains continuously employed with us through the relevant vesting milestones.

The table below sets forth the performance milestones that apply to the restricted shares. Subject to the provisions of the Stock Agreement, the percentage of restricted shares set forth opposite each performance milestone in the table will become eligible to become vested and nonforfeitable as of the next following time-

Table of Contents

based milestone date upon the successful achievement of that performance milestone. The performance milestones, and the percentage of restricted shares eligible to become vested due to the achievement of those milestones, are as follows:

 

PERFORMANCE MILESTONES

  

Percentage of Restricted

Shares Eligible to Vest

The signing of a development agreement with a pharmaceutical company for the development or customization of a Unilife product with scheduled payments of up to $5,000,000

   10% per agreement

The signing of a development agreement with a pharmaceutical company for the development or customization of a Unilife product with scheduled payments in excess of $5,000,000

   20% per agreement

The signing of a commercial supply agreement for a Unilife product with sales of under $10,000,000

   20% per agreement

The signing of a commercial supply agreement for a Unilife product with sales of $10,000,000 or greater but less than $50,000,000

   30% per agreement

The signing of a commercial supply agreement for a Unilife product with sales of $50,000,000 or greater but less than $100,000,000

   50% per agreement

The signing of a commercial supply agreement for a Unilife product with sales of $100,000,000 or greater

   100% per agreement

Market capitalization of the Company over $1.5 billion (based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on NASDAQ for any 20 of 30 consecutive Trading Days)

   100%

Although Dr. Mojdeh is expected to meet several of the foregoing milestones that in total would exceed 100%, Dr. Mojdeh is capped at becoming vested in 100% or a total of 1,250,000 restricted shares. For the avoidance of doubt, if a single development agreement or commercial supply agreement would meet more than one of the foregoing milestones, Dr. Mojdeh will be eligible to vest in the highest level designated for the performance milestones met by such agreement but not the cumulative amount. For example, upon the signing of a development agreement with a pharmaceutical company for the development or customization of a Unilife product with scheduled payments in excess of $5,000,000, Dr. Mojdeh will be eligible to vest in 20% of the restricted shares, not 30% (i.e., not 10% for the first milestone and 20% for the second milestone).

In addition to meeting the performance milestones as set forth in the Stock Agreement, the vesting of the restricted shares is also subject to Dr. Mojdeh meeting time-based milestones based on the anniversary of the grant date of the restricted shares, as follows:

 

TIME-BASED MILESTONES

   Percentage of Restricted Shares
Eligible to Vest
 

The first anniversary date of the Stock Agreement

     20

The second anniversary date of the Stock Agreement

     20

The third anniversary date of the Stock Agreement

     20

The fourth anniversary date of the Stock Agreement

     40

The restricted shares will not vest until both the performance milestone and the time-based milestone have been met and the maximum number of restricted shares that may vest upon a time-based milestone date will not exceed the lesser of the percentage of restricted shares eligible to vest pursuant to achieved performance milestones that have not previously vested or the applicable time-based milestone for such date. For example, if during the first year of the Stock Agreement, the market capitalization of the Company exceeds $1.5 billion, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on NASDAQ for any 20 of 30 consecutive trading days, Dr. Mojdeh would be eligible to have 100% of the restricted shares vest under the achieved performance milestones, but the maximum number of restricted shares that would actually vest on the first anniversary of the Stock Agreement would be 20% because of the 20% limitation on the time-based milestone for such anniversary date, and the remaining 80% of the eligible restricted shares from the achieved performance milestones would vest over the remaining three years pursuant to the time-based milestones.

The restricted shares will also vest upon a change in control of our company, or upon Dr. Mojdeh’s death or termination of employment due to total disability or without cause.

Potential Payments upon Termination Or Change In Control

During fiscal 2012, we maintained employment agreements with each of our named executive officers which provide for certain payments and benefits upon the named executive officer’s termination of employment with us under certain circumstances. In addition, stock-based awards granted to our named executive officers contain provisions for the acceleration of vesting under certain circumstances.

The table below reflects the compensation and benefits, if any, due to each of the named executive officers upon a voluntary termination; a termination for cause; an involuntary termination other than for cause or resignation for good reason, both before and after a change of control; the occurrence of a change of control; or a termination due to death, disability or retirement, in accordance with the employment agreements and equity award agreements in place with our named executive officers during fiscal 2012. Except with respect to our chief executive officer, none of our named executive officers are entitled to a tax gross-up payment in the event that the benefits that they receive upon termination of employment or the occurrence of a change in control result in the imposition of golden parachute excise taxes. The amounts shown in the table below assume that each termination of employment or the change of control, as applicable, was effective as of June 29, 2012, the last business day of our 2012 fiscal year, and the fair market value of a share of our common stock at $3.38, which was the closing price of our shares on June 29, 2012, the last trading day of our fiscal year. The amounts shown in the table are estimates of the amounts which would be payable upon termination of employment or change of control as applicable. The actual amounts to be paid can only be determined at the time of the actual termination of employment or change of control, as applicable. In this regard, it is important to note that the employment agreements that we had during fiscal 2012 with Messrs. Wieland and Naftzger expired on June 30, 2012 and have not been replaced. Consequently, other than the accelerated vesting of outstanding equity awards upon death, disability, a change in control of the company, or resignation of the executive within 180 days after Mr. Shortall ceases to be our chief executive officer for any reason, which accelerated vesting occurs pursuant to the terms of the relevant equity award agreements, the company no longer has a contractual obligation to provide the other amounts and benefits noted in the following table for Messrs. Wieland and Naftzger.

The value of the accelerated vesting of options was calculated by multiplying the number of unvested shares subject to each option by the excess, if any, between $3.38, the closing price of a share of our common stock on June 29, 2012, over the per share exercise price of the option. The value of the accelerated vesting of restricted stock was calculated by multiplying the aggregate number of unvested shares of restricted stock by $3.38, the closing price of a share of our common stock on June 29, 2012. More details concerning these values are set forth in the footnotes below.

(1) Except with respect to Mr. Shortall, Termination Without Cause includes termination due to our decision not to renew a named executive officer’s employment agreement if the named executive officer was willing and able to continue performing services under the terms of the employment agreement.
(2) Upon a change of control or in the case of termination of employment due to death or total disability, all outstanding options and shares of restricted stock vest.
(3) Termination Without Cause After Change in Control reflects the aggregate of any payments and benefits to which the executive becomes entitled upon a single-trigger Change in Control event and any incremental payments and benefits to which the executive becomes entitled upon termination of employment coincident with or following such Change in Control event.
(4) The cash severance payment to Mr. Shortall is calculated based on an amount equal to 12 months of his total salary compensation for the fiscal year in which employment is terminated ($420,000) plus the amount of bonus earned by Mr. Shortall in our fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 ($210,000).
(5) All of Mr. Shortall’s outstanding unvested options were underwater as of June 29, 2012. In the event that Mr. Shortall’s employment is terminated by us without cause prior to a change in control, his performance-based stock options are neither accelerated nor forfeited; rather, he retains the opportunity to vest in the options if the performance milestones are satisfied before the expiration date.
(6) This amount represents the value of the accelerated vesting of 2,332,000 shares of restricted stock based on a value per share of $3.38, the closing price of our shares on June 29, 2012. In the event that Mr. Shortall’s employment is terminated by us without cause prior to a change in control, his performance-based restricted stock is neither accelerated nor forfeited; rather, he retains the opportunity to vest in the restricted stock if the performance milestones are satisfied before the expiration date.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the last three fiscal years, we have been a party to one transaction in which the amount involved exceeded $120,000 and in which any director, executive officer, holder of more than 5% of our capital stock, or their immediate family members, had a material interest.

We have an agreement with a consulting entity, of which Jeff Carter, a member of our board is the principal. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Carter will perform finance, accounting and secretarial consulting services in Australia. We pay Mr. Carter on a month to month basis for these services. Under the agreement, we pay the consulting entity a commercial arm’s length fee for the consulting services of A$13,200 per month. During fiscal 2012, we paid the consulting entity A$209,604. Of these consulting fees, A$72,364 was paid to one of our former employees to assist Mr. Carter in performing these functions.

On October 26, 2008, we entered into a Deed of Settlement and Release with Alan D. Shortall, our director and chief executive officer, and certain other individuals (collectively, the “Founding Stockholders”), pursuant to which, as a final settlement of our obligations under the agreement for our acquisition of Unitract, we agreed to issue 1,666,667 shares of common stock to the Founding Stockholders if we reported net income of at least

Table of Contents

A$6.5 million during any fiscal year prior to October 31, 2014 and to issue an additional 1,666,667 shares of common stock if we reported net income of at least A$12 million during any fiscal year prior to October 31, 2014. Pursuant to a subsequent notification from the Founding Stockholders to us dated as of October 27, 2009, three of the four Founding Stockholders (Alan D. Shortall, Joseph Kaal and Craig Thorley) each relinquished, for no consideration, all of the shares he would have received pursuant to the Deed of Settlement and Release and directed us to issue all his founder shares to the fourth Founding Stockholder, Roger Williamson, in recognition of the fact that Mr. Williamson provided seed capital in connection with the founding of our company. During the year ended June 30, 2009, we met both of the net income requirements and therefore, in November 2009, we issued 3,333,333 shares of common stock to Mr. Williamson, which were in full satisfaction of our obligation to all of the Founding Stockholders.

We review all relationships and transactions in which we and our directors and executive officers or their immediate family members are participants to determine whether such persons have a direct or indirect material interest. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer are primarily responsible for the development and implementation of processes and controls to obtain information from the directors and executive officers with respect to related party transactions. Our audit committee reviews and approves or ratifies any related party transaction pursuant to the authority given under the charter of the audit committee.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information regarding ownership of our common stock by (i) each person, or group of affiliated persons who is known by us to beneficially own 5% or more of our common stock, (ii) each of our directors, (iii) each of our named executive officers and (iv) all current directors and executive officers as a group. All of this information gives effect to the redomiciliation and the share consolidation effected in connection therewith.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC and generally includes any shares over which a person exercises sole or shared voting or investment power. The beneficial ownership percentages set forth below are based on 81,816,079 shares of common stock outstanding as of September 15, 2012. All shares of common stock owned by such person, including shares of common stock underlying stock options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after September 15, 2012 (all of which we refer to as being currently exercisable) are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by that person for the purpose of computing the ownership percentage of that person, but are not considered outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as otherwise indicated, to our knowledge, each person listed in the table below has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown to be beneficially owned by such person, except to the extent that applicable law gives spouses shared authority

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock to file with the SEC reports of ownership and changes in ownership of our common stock. Our directors, executive officers and greater than 10% beneficial owners of our common stock are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely upon information furnished to us and contained in reports filed with the SEC, as well as any written representations that no other reports were required, we believe that all Section 16(a) reports of our directors, executive officers and greater than 10% beneficial owners were filed timely for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 — ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

We are providing you with the opportunity to vote to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of our executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table under “Executive Compensation.” Under Dodd-Frank, we are required to seek a non-binding advisory vote from our stockholders to approve the compensation awarded to our named executive officers. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives you as a stockholder the opportunity to express your views on our named executive officers’ compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific element of our compensation programs, but rather to address our overall approach to the compensation of our named executive officers described in this proxy statement. The vote solicited by this proposal is advisory and its outcome will not be binding on the board or require the board or the compensation committee to take any action. However, the compensation committee values the opinions expressed by our stockholders in their vote on this proposal and expects to take into account the outcome of this vote when evaluating future executive compensation arrangements for our named executive officers.

We have in place comprehensive executive compensation programs. Our compensation committee continually monitors executive compensation programs and adopt changes to reflect the marketplace in which we compete for talent, as well as general economic, regulatory and legislative developments affecting executive compensation. As described in detail under the heading “EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION — Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” our executive compensation programs are designed to help us attract, retain and motivate superior executive talent, while providing competitive and differentiated levels of pay based on corporate and individual performance that reinforce the alignment of the interests of the members of our executive management team with those of our stockholders.

The board is asking stockholders to cast a non-binding advisory vote on the following resolution:

 

“Resolved that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” compensation tables and narrative discussions, is approved on a non-binding advisory basis.”

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL NO. 3

PROPOSAL NO. 4 — RATIFICATION OF ISSUANCE AND SALE OF COMMON STOCK

Background

As announced on June 29, 2012, we completed a public offering of our shares of common stock in the United States pursuant to which we issued and sold 6,154,000 shares of common stock at a price of US$3.25 per share for an aggregate principal amount of US$20,000,500 in an underwritten public offering pursuant to our shelf registration statement that was declared effective by the SEC on June 30, 2011 and the prospectus supplement that we filed with the SEC on or about June 29, 2012. We refer to the shares we sold in the public offering as the “Shares.” The Shares have been issued and we are now seeking the approval of our stockholders for the purpose of ratifying the issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

ASX Listing Rules

ASX Listing Rule 7.1. ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits, subject to certain exceptions, a company from issuing or agreeing to issue securities that would represent more than 15% of the company’s ordinary securities on issue 12 months prior to the date of issue (or agreement to issue) such securities, without prior approval of a company’s shareholders.

The Shares issued in the public offering were within the 15% limitation imposed under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and accordingly stockholder approval was not required for their issue.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4. ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. This rule provides that where the shareholders in general meeting ratify a previous issuance of securities (made without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be excluded from the calculation of the number of securities that can be issued by the company in any 12-month period within the 15% limit set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

On July 5, 2012, we issued the Shares pursuant to the public offering. Stockholder approval is now being sought under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify our issuance of the Shares.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, in addition to the information set out above, the following information is provided in relation to this proposal:

 

  (a) the total number of Shares issued by us in the public offering was 6,154,000 (equivalent to 36,924,000 CDIs);

 

  (b) the public offering price of each share was US$3.25 and this is the price at which the shares were issued;

 

  (c) the Shares were issued to the underwriters on the public offering who subsequently allotted the Shares to investors;

 

  (d) the issuance of the Shares was made to pursuant to a public offering under a registration statement that was declared effective by the SEC on June 30, 2011; and

 

  (e) the Shares rank equally with all other shares of our common stock.

Use of proceeds

We received net proceeds from the public offering of $18,800,475, after deducting the underwriting discount. We intend to use the net proceeds to fund the continued development and supply of our diversified portfolio of advanced drug delivery systems, to purchase and operate capital equipment to expand production, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Voting Exclusion Statement

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Proposal No. 4 by a person who participated in the public offering and any associate of such person. However, the Company need not disregard a vote if it is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the direction on the proxy card, or it is cast by the person chairing the annual meeting as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy card to vote as the proxy decides.

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL NO. 4.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Introductory. Unilife Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several underwriters named in Schedule A (the “Underwriters”) an aggregate of 6,154,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”).

Each employee benefit plan established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification.

(cc) No Price Stabilization or Manipulation; Compliance with Regulation M. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that might be reasonably expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Shares or of any “reference security” (as defined in Rule 100 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act (“Regulation M”)) with respect to the Shares, whether to facilitate the sale or resale of the Offered Shares or otherwise, and has taken no action which would directly or indirectly violate Regulation M.

(dd) Related-Party Transactions. There are no business relationships or related-party transactions involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any other person required to be described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus that have not been described as required.

(a) Indemnification of the Underwriters. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which such Underwriter or such affiliate, director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or the laws or regulations of foreign jurisdictions where Offered Shares have been offered or sold or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon (A) (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereto, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any free writing prospectus that the Company has used, referred to or filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Securities Act, or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to the foregoing), or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (B) the violation of any laws or regulations of foreign jurisdictions where Offered Shares have been offered or sold; and to reimburse each Underwriter and each such affiliate, director, officer, employee, agent and controlling person for any and all expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Underwriter or such affiliate, director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company by the Representatives in writing expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any such free writing prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the information described in Section 9(b) below. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 9(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Company may otherwise have.

(b) Indemnification of the Company, its Directors and Officers. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the

Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which the Company, or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Underwriter), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereto, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in the Time of Sale Prospectus, any free writing prospectus that the Company has used, referred to or filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433 of the Securities Act, or the Prospectus (or any such amendment or supplement) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, such free writing prospectus, the Prospectus (or any such amendment or supplement), in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by the Representatives in writing expressly for use therein; and to reimburse the Company, or any such director, officer or controlling person for any and all expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by the Company, or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. The Company hereby acknowledges that the only information that the Representatives has furnished to the Company expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any free writing prospectus that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Securities Act, or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to the foregoing) are the statements set forth in the third and fourth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting”, the first paragraph under the caption “Underwriting — Commission and Expenses” and the first paragraphs under the caption “Underwriting — Price Stabilization” in the Final Prospectus Supplement. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 9(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Underwriter may otherwise have.

(c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 9, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party to the extent the indemnifying party is not materially prejudiced as a proximate result of such failure and shall not in any event relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 9 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the

 

A-21


Table of Contents

indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action), which counsel (together with any local counsel) for the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Representatives (in the case of counsel for the indemnified parties referred to in Section 9(a) above) or by the Company (in the case of counsel for the indemnified parties referred to in Section 9(b) above)) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party and shall be paid as they are incurred.

(d) Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 9 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its prior written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 9(c) hereof, the indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its prior written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and does not include an admission of fault or culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party.

Section 10. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 9 is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Offered Shares pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Offered Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Offered Shares pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the front cover page of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Offered Shares as set forth on such cover. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9(c), any legal or other

 

A-22


Table of Contents

fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in Section 9(c) with respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 10; provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 9(c) for purposes of indemnification.

The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 10.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter in connection with the Offered Shares underwritten by it and distributed to investors. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments as set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule A. For purposes of this Section 10, each affiliate, director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

Section 11. Default of One or More of the Several Underwriters. If, on the Closing Date any one or more of the several Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Offered Shares that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Offered Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of the Offered Shares to be purchased on such date, the Representatives may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Offered Shares by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, in the proportions that the number of Offered Shares set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule A bears to the aggregate number of Offered Shares set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the Representatives with the consent of the non-defaulting Underwriters, to purchase the Offered Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date. If, on the Closing Date any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Offered Shares and the aggregate number of Offered Shares with respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the aggregate number of Offered Shares to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such Offered Shares are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 4, Section 7, Section 9 and Section 10 shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case either the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days in order that the required changes, if any, to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or any other documents or arrangements may be effected.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” shall be deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting Underwriter under this Section 11. Any action taken under this Section 11 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

Section 12. Termination of this Agreement. Prior to the purchase of the Offered Shares by the Underwriters on the Closing Date, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representatives by notice given to the Company if at

any time (i) trading or quotation in any of the Company’s securities shall have been suspended or limited by the Commission or by the NASDAQ, or trading in securities generally on either the NASDAQ or the NYSE shall have been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on any of such stock exchanges; (ii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by any of federal, New York, Delaware or Pennsylvania authorities; (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities or any crisis or calamity, or any change in the United States or international financial markets, or any substantial change or development involving a prospective substantial change in United States’ or international political, financial or economic conditions, as in the judgment of the Representatives is material and adverse and makes it impracticable to market the Offered Shares in the manner and on the terms described in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus or to enforce contracts for the sale of securities; (iv) in the judgment of the Representatives there shall have occurred any Material Adverse Change; or (v) the Company shall have sustained a loss by strike, fire, flood, earthquake, accident or other calamity of such character as in the judgment of the Representatives may interfere materially with the conduct of the business and operations of the Company regardless of whether or not such loss shall have been insured. Any termination pursuant to this Section 12 shall be without liability on the part of (a) the Company to any Underwriter, except that the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the expenses of the Representatives and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 4 or Section 7 hereof or (b) any Underwriter to the Company; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 9 and Section 10 shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.

Section 13. No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) the purchase and sale of the Offered Shares pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the offering price of the Offered Shares and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand, (b) in connection with the offering contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction, each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, or its stockholders, or its creditors, employees or any other party, (c) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) and no Underwriter has any obligation to the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (d) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company, and (e) the Underwriters have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby and the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.

Section 14. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, of its officers and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Company or any of its or their partners, officers or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Shares sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

RE: Unilife Corporation (the “Company”)

Ladies & Gentlemen:

The undersigned is an owner of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Shares”) or of securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares. The Company proposes to conduct a public offering of Shares (the “Offering”) for which Jefferies & Company, Inc. and Leerink Swann LLC will act as the representatives (the “Representatives”) of the underwriters (the “Underwriters”). The undersigned recognizes that the Offering will benefit each of the Company and the undersigned. The undersigned acknowledges that the Underwriters are relying on the representations and agreements of the undersigned contained in this letter agreement in conducting the Offering and, at a subsequent date, in entering into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) and other underwriting arrangements with the Company with respect to the Offering.

Annex A sets forth definitions for capitalized terms used in this letter agreement that are not defined in the body of this agreement. Those definitions are a part of this agreement.

In consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees that, during the Lock-up Period, the undersigned will not (and will cause any Family Member not to), without the prior written consent of the Representatives, which may withhold their consent in their sole discretion:

 

   

Sell or Offer to Sell any Shares or Related Securities currently or hereafter owned either of record or beneficially (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by the undersigned or such Family Member,

 

   

enter into any Swap,

 

   

make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of any Shares or Related Securities, or cause to be filed a registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement (or an amendment or supplement thereto) with respect to any such registration, or

 

   

publicly announce any intention to do any of the foregoing.

The foregoing will not apply to the registration of the offer and sale of the Shares, and the sale of the Shares to the Underwriters, in each case as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement. In addition, the foregoing

Table of Contents

restrictions shall not apply to the transfer of Shares or Related Securities by gift, or by will or intestate succession; provided, however, that in any such case, it shall be a condition to such transfer that:

 

   

each transferee executes and delivers to the Underwriters an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives stating that such transferee is receiving and holding such Shares and/or Related Securities subject to the provisions of this letter agreement and agrees not to Sell or Offer to Sell such Shares and/or Related Securities, engage in any Swap or engage in any other activities restricted under this letter agreement except in accordance with this letter agreement (as if such transferee had been an original signatory hereto), and

 

   

prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period, no public disclosure or filing under the Exchange Act by any party to the transfer (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) shall be required, or made voluntarily, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Shares in connection with such transfer.

The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that written notice by the Representatives to the Company of any extension of the 90-day initial lock-up period will be deemed to have been given to, and received by, the undersigned. The undersigned further agrees that, prior to engaging in any transaction or taking any other action that is subject to the terms of this letter agreement during the period from the date of this letter agreement through the close of trading on the date that is the 34th day following the expiration of the 90-day initial lock-up period, the undersigned will give notice thereof to the Company and will not consummate any such transaction or take any such action unless the undersigned has received written confirmation from the Company that the Lock-Up Period has expired.

In addition, if the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, (i) the Underwriters agree that, at least three business days before the effective date of any release or waiver of the foregoing restrictions in connection with a transfer of Shares, the Representatives will notify the Company of the impending release or waiver, and (ii) the Company (in accordance with the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement entered into in connection with the Offering (the “Underwriting Agreement”)) will announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted by the Representatives hereunder to any such officer or director shall only be effective two business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if both (a) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this letter agreement that are applicable to the transferor to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of Shares or Related Securities held by the undersigned and the undersigned’s Family Members, if any, except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

With respect to the Offering only, the undersigned waives any registration rights relating to registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of any Shares and/or any Related Securities owned either of record or beneficially by the undersigned, including any rights to receive notice of the Offering.

The undersigned confirms that the undersigned has not, and has no knowledge that any Family Member has, directly or indirectly, taken any action designed to or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale of the Shares. The undersigned will not, and will cause any Family Member not to take, directly or indirectly, any such action.

Whether or not the Offering occurs as currently contemplated or at all depends on market conditions and other factors. The Offering will only be made pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters.

If (i) the Company notifies the Representatives in writing that it does not intend to proceed with the Offering, (ii) the Underwriting Agreement is not executed by July 31, 2012, or (iii) the Underwriting Agreement

(other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated for any reason prior to payment for and delivery of any Shares to be sold thereunder, then this letter agreement shall immediately be terminated and the undersigned shall automatically be released from all of his or her obligations under this letter agreement.

This letter agreement is irrevocable and will be binding on the undersigned and the successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns of the undersigned.

This letter agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
