Item 5.02

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

In 2018, the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Lantheus Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), working with Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC, the Board’s independent compensation consulting firm, evaluated our senior executive compensation practices, including our severance arrangements in comparison to our industry peers. The Committee then recommended, and the Board subsequently authorized management to implement, modifications to our severance arrangements. Effective as of January 25, 2019, these modifications have been implemented and apply to our President and Chief Executive Officer and her direct reports at the Senior Vice President level and above. In exchange for being bound by certain restrictive covenants and providing a release and waiver in favor of the Company, a senior executive subject to the policy is entitled to receive an amount equal to: (i) one times annual base salary, plus a prorated portion of the target annual bonus in effect on the date of separation, in the event that the senior executive is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason other than after a change of control; and (ii) two times annual base salary, plus two times the full-year target annual bonus in effect on the date of separation, in the event that the senior executive is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason within 12 months of a change of control with all unvested stock options and other equity-based awards also vesting in full.

In connection with this new policy, we have amended and restated our employment agreement with Ms. Mary Anne Heino, put into place these arrangements with Mr. Robert J. Marshall, Jr. and replaced the severance provisions of our employment agreements with Mr. Michael P. Duffy and Dr. Cesare Orlandi to give effect to this modified policy.
