Explanatory Note:

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) is being filed to amend the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 25, 2023 (the “Original Form 8-K”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the Company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct future shareholder advisory votes to approve the compensation of its named executive officers (commonly referred to as a “Say-on-Pay” advisory vote). This Amendment does not otherwise amend, modify, or supplement the Original Form 8-K.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Based on the results of the shareholder vote at the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 25, 2023, including the shareholders’ non-binding recommendation to hold future Say-on-Pay advisory votes annually, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that future Say-on-Pay advisory votes will be conducted annually until the next required advisory vote, which under current Securities and Exchange Commission Rules is expected to be our 2029 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
