• | To vote on the internet, go to https://www.investorcentre.co.uk/eproxy to appoint a proxy electronically and follow the instructions (see instructions on form of proxy). |
• | If you have received a hard-copy form of proxy simply complete, sign and date the enclosed form of proxy and return it promptly in the envelope provided. |
• | CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the AGM (and any adjournment of the AGM) by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual (available from www.euroclear.com). CREST Personal Members or other CREST Sponsored Members, and those CREST members who have appointed a service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf. In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a “CREST Proxy Instruction”) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & International Limited’s specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy, must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by Computershare (ID: 3RA50) by 2:00 p.m. London time (9:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time) on May 22, 2026. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to mean the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST application host) from which the issuer’s agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time, any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear UK & International Limited does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular message. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member, or sponsored member, or has appointed a voting service provider(s), to procure that his CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In addition, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings. We may treat a CREST Proxy Instruction as invalid in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001. |
• | You may also be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform, a process to which we have agreed and which has been approved by Computershare, our registrar. For further information regarding |

• | Updated the peer group that informed our executive compensation decisions. |
• | Reviewed and approved compensation for our executive officers and held executive officer base salaries flat for fiscal year 2025 (which was not reflective of their strong performance) while continuing to invest available cash in our pipeline for new products. |
• | Reviewed the short-term incentives opportunities for all employees against market data and continued a global bonus structure that aligns all employees in the same job level with the same short-term incentive opportunity. |
• | Introduced restricted stock units (“RSUs”) starting with our fiscal year 2025 as part of the long-term incentive plan for our named executive officers (as a percentage of the annual grant value, 70% options and 30% RSUs for our Chief Executive Officer and 60% options and 40% RSUs for our other named executive officers), other executives and all employees. |
• | Continued to make grants under the equity incentive plan. |
• | Analyzed share pool utilization and evergreen provision under our equity incentive plan. |
• | Considered, reviewed and approved the short-term objectives for the annual bonus for fiscal year 2025, incorporating for the first time a significant weighting (67.5% of target) of only six goals focused on revenue or our portfolio as part of the much broader set goals on our corporate scorecard, to incentivize achievement of our highest priorities for fiscal year 2025. |
• | Assessed performance against the short-term objectives for fiscal year 2025 and approved of the level of bonuses to be paid to our named executive officers. |
• | Reviewed, evaluated, and approved employment agreements, service contracts, severance agreements, change-of-control protections, corporate performance goals and objectives, and other compensatory arrangements of the executive officers and other senior management and adjusted remuneration, as appropriate. |

• | Emphasize pay for performance, with a program that aligns executive incentives to shareholder value creation. |
• | Provide base salaries consistent with each executive’s responsibilities so that they are not motivated to take excessive risks to achieve a reasonable level of financial security. |
• | Ensure a significant portion of each executive’s compensation is tied to our future share performance, thus aligning their interests with those of our shareholders. |
• | Utilize equity compensation and vesting periods for equity awards that encourage executives to remain employed and focus on sustained share price appreciation. |
• | Adopt a mix between cash (fixed and at-risk) and equity compensation designed to encourage strategies and actions that are in our short-term and long-term best interests. |
Element of Compensation | Objectives | Key Features | ||||
Base Salary (fixed cash) | Provides financial stability and security through a fixed amount of cash for performing job responsibilities. Set at a level to attract and retain executives at a caliber necessary to drive our success. | Generally reviewed annually at the beginning of the year and determined based on a number of factors (including role with us, experience, skills, external market conditions, our salary and pay structures, individual performance, internal equity, retention) and by reference to market and peer group data provided by our independent compensation consultant. | ||||
Performance Bonus (at-risk cash) | Motivates and rewards for attaining rigorous annual corporate performance goals that relate to our key business objectives. Supports our corporate strategy and business plan by linking executive performance to pay. | Target bonus amounts, calculated as a percentage of base salary, are generally reviewed annually at the beginning of the year and determined based upon positions that have similar impact on the organization and competitive bonus opportunities in our market. Bonus opportunities are dependent upon the achievement of specific corporate performance objectives, generally determined by the remuneration committee and board of directors and communicated at the beginning of the year. Actual bonus amounts earned are determined after the end of the year, based on achievement of the designated corporate performance objectives, and the remuneration committee’s overall assessment of corporate performance. The remuneration committee may further consider individual performance ratings and overall individual performance for the fiscal year when determining payout amounts. Bonus is discretionary and executives must be employed in good standing to be eligible to receive a bonus. The Chief Executive Officer’s bonus is capped at 150% of salary. | ||||

Individual grants are determined based on a number of factors, including current corporate and individual performance, outstanding equity holdings and their retention value and total ownership, historical value of our shares, internal equity amongst executives, other elements of compensation, and market and peer group data provided by our independent compensation consultant. To date, equity awards have been provided in the form of share options and, starting with fiscal year 2025, RSUs. | ||||

TABLE OF CONTENTS
• | Attract and retain new and different types of talent who have the potential to support the growth of the Group; |
• | Attract and retain new and different types of Non-Executive Directors who can substantially contribute to the Group’s success; |
• | Be competitive against the market median for benchmarks (appropriate peers will be selected based on headcount, market cap, therapeutic focus, product pipeline and other relevant factors); |
• | Have a strong link to performance and align the Executive Director’s incentives to shareholder value creation; and |
• | Encourage equity ownership by the Non-Executive Directors and the CEO to motivate and align them with the overall interests of shareholders and the Company. |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Element, purpose and link to strategy | To attract and retain new and different types of talent. Set at a level to attract and retain employees of sufficient calibre to drive the Company’s success and based on achieving the Company’s objectives that are primarily linked to the Group’s business strategies. Reflects the role in the Company, experience, skills, and external market conditions. | ||
How it operates | Salaries are normally reviewed annually, with any increases normally taking effect from 1 March. When awarding any increase, the Committee will take into consideration: • the role in the company, experience, skills, and external market conditions; and • the Company’s salary and pay structures and general workforce increases. Salaries are benchmarked periodically against peer groups to ensure they remain competitive. | ||
Maximum opportunity | There is no prescribed maximum annual salary or salary increase. The Committee will be guided by the market in determining salary increases but may use its discretion to award a lower increase for an Executive Director if deemed necessary. The Committee can also use its discretion to award a higher increase to recognise, for example, an increase in the scale, scope or responsibility of the role and/or take into account appropriate market factors. The Committee is also guided by the general increase for the wider workforce. | ||
Performance-related framework | Executive Directors’ performance is a factor considered when determining any base salary increases. | ||
Element, purpose and link to strategy | To provide employees with competitive long-term savings for their future. | ||
How it operates | Executive Directors are eligible to participate in the Group’s pension scheme. For example, U.S.-based executives and other U.S.-based employees are eligible to participate in our Section 401(k) plan, and our U.K.-based executives and employees are eligible to participate in a U.K. defined contribution plan. If enrolled, the Group match is consistent with what is provided to other similarly situated employees enrolled in the relevant plan, subject to the terms of the retirement plan and applicable law. Levels will be reviewed annually, and the Committee may decide to change future contribution levels should the review indicate such a change is appropriate. | ||
Maximum opportunity | Maximum opportunity under the Section 401(k) plan or other pension scheme in the jurisdiction that the Executive Director is based is set at the same level of contributions available to the wider workforce based in the same jurisdiction as the Executive Director. | ||
Performance-related framework | Not applicable. | ||
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Element, purpose and link to strategy | Market competitive employment benefits will support the personal health and well-being of executives. | ||
How it operates | The benefits currently available to Executive Directors include insurance at a level comparable to similarly-situated employees of the Group, as well as coverage in its Directors and Officer Liability insurance policy, each in effect from time to time. Executive Directors will be, or will continue to be eligible to participate, on the same basis as similarly- situated employees in the Group’s benefit plans in effect from time to time during their employment in accordance with the terms of such benefit plans. In addition, Executive Directors may also be provided with tax-equalisation benefits. Executive Directors may participate in any all-employee share schemes or spot-bonuses that may be operated by the Group from time to time on the same basis as similarly-situated employees in the same jurisdiction. Benefit levels and components are reviewed periodically. The Group reserves the right to change, alter, or terminate any benefit plan at its sole discretion. | ||
Maximum opportunity | Because the value of insured and other benefits will vary year-to-year based on the cost quoted by third party providers, there is no formal maximum level of benefits provided to an Executive Director. | ||
Performance-related framework | Not applicable. | ||
Element, purpose and link to strategy | Supports the corporate strategy and business plan by linking executive performance to pay. Rewards the achievement of targets that support the Company’s corporate goals and delivery of the business strategy in the short term. | ||
How it operates | Bonus payments are set by reference to a percentage of annual base salary, are normally awarded in cash (but may be awarded in shares or otherwise) and are deferrable under the U.K. defined contribution plan and under our U.S. Section 401(k) plan. Bonuses will be based upon the assessment of the Board of an Executive Director’s performance and the Company’s attainment of targeted goals over the applicable calendar year. Unless otherwise provided to the Executive Director in writing, an Executive Director must be an employee in good standing through the applicable annual bonus payment date to be eligible to receive an annual bonus, save as set out below in our policy on Termination and Loss of Office Payments. Bonus payments may be subject to malus and/or clawback under the Incentive Compensation Recoupment Policy, adopted 26 October 2023, or any other malus and/or clawback policy that may be adopted in the future. | ||
Maximum opportunity | There is no defined maximum value for bonus, but the Committee will consider the aggregate value of any such bonus when determining what should be offered. Maximum annual bonus is currently 150% of base salary for the CEO and there is currently no intention to increase it during the life of this policy. | ||
Performance-related framework | Each year, the Committee, in consultation with the Board, will determine the performance measures, which will be a range of targets that promote the Group’s business strategy and value creation for shareholders. | ||
TABLE OF CONTENTS
The annual bonus will be based upon the assessment of the Board (or a committee thereof) of the Executive Directors’ performance and the Group’s attainment of targeted goals (as established by the Board or a committee thereof in its sole discretion) for the applicable calendar year. The Committee will have the discretion to revise bonus measures annually, and the Committee also has the discretion to alter measures or to introduce new measures, based on the strategic focus of the Group at that time. If the level of payout is inconsistent with overall Group performance, the Committee has the discretion to alter the bonus outcome (including to reduce it to zero) taking into account any factors it considers relevant. This will help ensure that payouts reflect overall Group performance during the period. | |||
Element, purpose and link to strategy | The Company adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (“EIP”) to enhance the Group’s ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who make (or are expected to make) important contributions to the Group by providing these individuals with equity ownership opportunities. The EIP facilitates share ownership to provide further alignment of the interests of Executive Directors with the interests of shareholders. Executive Directors may also hold awards granted under the predecessor plans to the EIP and may also participate in any future discretionary equity incentive plan that may be adopted from time to time to replace the EIP. | ||
How it operates | The EIP provides for the grant of market value options, share appreciation rights, restricted share unit awards, dividend equivalents, performance awards (subject to performance conditions) and other share-based awards. Awards may be granted at such times as the Committee may determine but will generally be granted annually following the end of the financial year. Awards vest at such times and as specified in the applicable award agreement, typically being over a four-year period although the Committee retains the discretion to provide for other vesting schedules or to accelerate vesting, such as in connection with a change of control. If the participant violates the non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality or other similar restrictive covenant provisions of any employment contract, the right of the participant to receive these shares on vesting shall terminate immediately. The Committee maintains discretion over the type and terms of equity awards granted. The EIP is administered by the Committee or its delegate. EIP awards are not currently subject to any holding period. All awards may be subject to malus and/or clawback under the Incentive Compensation Recoupment Policy, adopted 26 October 2023, or any other malus and/or clawback policy that may be adopted in the future. | ||
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Any share-based entitlements granted to an Executive Director under the Company’s share plans will be treated in accordance with the relevant plan rules or any applicable agreement. Under the good leaver provisions, unvested options usually lapse at termination, but vested options can be exercised within a period as set out in the plan rules. The Committee retains the discretion to vest awards (and measure performance accordingly) on cessation and disapply time prorating; however, it is envisaged that this would only be applied in exceptional circumstances, save as set out below in our policy on Termination and Loss of Office Payments. | |||
Maximum opportunity | There is no maximum opportunity under the EIP. However, the Committee will ensure that annual awards that are granted are guided by the market and will take account of factors such as the Executive Director’s performance, salary, other benefits and the size and value of existing awards. The Committee will also look at the position’s pay at comparators to help inform its decision. | ||

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Element, purpose and link to strategy | To attract and retain Non-Executive Directors who have a broad range of experience and skills to provide independent judgement on issues of purpose, value, and strategy for the Company. Supports the retention of Non-Executive Directors who will promote the long-term sustainable success of the Company, generating value for shareholders. We annually review the composition, skills and other qualities that the Non-Executive Directors bring to the Board. | ||
How it operates | Non-Executive Directors’ fees (including the basic fee and fees for any additional roles) will be set forth in the Company’s Non-Executive Director Remuneration Policy as amended from time to time by the Board. The Company shall reimburse Non-Executive Directors for all reasonable and properly documented expenses in accordance with the Non-Executive Director Remuneration Policy. Non-Executive Directors may also be provided with tax-equalisation benefits and assistance with tax returns. Non- Executive Directors do not receive any pension benefits or cash in lieu thereof. | ||
Maximum opportunity | While there is no maximum annual fee or fee increase, the Board can use its discretion to award a lower or higher fee, taking into account wider workforce experience. A higher fee or out-of-cycle additional payment could recognise an increase in the scale, scope or responsibility of the role and/or take account of relevant market movements. Actual fee levels are disclosed in the Annual Remuneration Report for the relevant financial year. | ||
Performance-related framework | Not applicable. | ||
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Element, purpose and link to strategy | To facilitate share ownership by Non-Executive Directors in the Company and provide alignment of the interests of the Non-Executive Directors with those of shareholders. | ||
How it operates | Non-Executive Directors are eligible to participate in the Non-Employee Sub-Plan to the EIP. The EIP provides for the grant of market value options, share appreciation rights, restricted share unit awards, dividend equivalents, performance awards (subject to performance conditions) and other share-based awards. Further, subject to the terms of the award agreement, awards can be granted in respect of ordinary shares, American Depositary Shares (“ADS”), cash or a combination thereof. However, performance awards (subject to performance conditions) will not be issued to Non-Executive Directors. Awards vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set for the relevant award in its award agreement. The Committee maintains discretion over the type and terms of equity awards granted. Non-Executive Directors usually receive options on joining the Board and annually as part of their remuneration with phased vesting. Under normal circumstances, initial share awards vest monthly over three years and options awarded annually will usually vest upon the first anniversary of the date of grant. Vesting may be accelerated in certain circumstances, such as in connection with a change of control. Non-Executive Directors may also hold awards granted under the predecessor plans to the EIP and may also participate in any future discretionary equity incentive plan that may be adopted from time to time to replace the EIP. | ||
Maximum opportunity | There is no maximum number of equity incentive awards that may be awarded to individuals each year. However, when reviewing award levels, account is taken of market movements in equity incentive awards, Board committee responsibilities, ongoing time commitments and the general economic environment. | ||
Performance-related framework | Performance Awards will not be made to Non-Executive Directors. However, we believe share options are inherently performance-based and automatically link pay to shareholder return, as the value realised, if any, from an award of share options is dependent upon, and directly proportionate to, future appreciation in our share price. | ||

TABLE OF CONTENTS
1. | Dr. Jallal’s benefits comprise health cover, life insurance, disability cover ($22,168) and tax equalisation gross-up payments ($14,286) paid with respect to the portion of her income subject to United Kingdom taxation. Dr. Herbst and Ms. Peterson’s benefits comprise tax equalisation gross-up payments paid with respect to the portion of their income subject to United Kingdom taxation. |
2. | Represents a performance-based cash bonus awarded to Dr. Jallal in connection with the achievement of 2025 annual performance milestones (paid in 2026). Dr. Jallal was assigned a target bonus expressed as a percentage of her base salary, and the target bonus amount for Dr. Jallal for 2025 and 2024 was 75%. For 2025, the Board determined to award Dr. Jallal an annual bonus of $688,500 or 120% of target (2024: $573,750 or 100% of target), as reflected in the “Annual Bonus” column of the table above. |
3. | For the year ended 31 December 2025, the “Share Based Awards” column reflects the value of Dr. Jallal’s RSU grant for the year based on the product of the number of shares granted and the closing price of the Company’s shares on the grant date. This results in a significant difference in total pay included in the table for Dr. Jallal compared to 2024 as 2025 was the first year in which RSUs were granted to Dr. Jallal and other employees. For share option awards granted in the year ended 31 December 2024, the exercise price is equal to the market value of the shares on the date of the grant and therefore there is no value to disclose. Details of the share option awards granted and held are set out in the options table further below in this report. There were no performance obligations linked to the share-based awards granted during the years above. |
4. | Mr. Perez and Mr. Coy were originally nominated to our Board in connection with our IPO. Both directors elected to forgo remuneration in respect of their services as non-executive directors. Mr. Coy, Mr. Perez and Mr. Krishana resigned from the Committee during 2025 on 1 January, 16 September and 26 November, respectively. |

TABLE OF CONTENTS
1. | Options granted during 2021 were granted at the time of our IPO. The exercise price of $26.00 is equal to the price per ADS sold in the IPO, and the awards have no performance conditions attached. The exercise price of all option awards is equal to the market value at the date of grant, and accordingly there is no value to the recipients at the point of grant. The face value of awards has been calculated by multiplying the share price at the date of grant by the number of shares subject to the award granted. |
2. | Options granted to Dr. Jallal on 17 February 2025, 16 February 2024, 16 February 2023, 16 February 2022, 4 February 2021, and 30 October 2020, vest over a four-year period from the date of grant. Twenty-five percent of the shares subject to each of those awards vested on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date, and the remaining shares vest in quarterly installments thereafter, subject to the officer’s continued service through each vesting date. The options granted on 30 October 2020 have a vesting commencement date of 1 April 2020. Twenty-five percent of the shares subject to the 30 October 2020, award vest on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date (1 April 2021), and the remaining shares vest in quarterly installments thereafter, subject to the officer’s continued service through each vesting date |
3. | The options granted to Dr. Jallal on 7 January 2019, vesting over a five-year period were modified during 2020 and immediately prior to the IPO. The incremental fair values arising on these modifications for accounting purposes were $3.84 and $5.19, respectively. Twenty five percent of the shares subject to the award vested on the second anniversary of the vesting commencement date, and the remaining shares vested in quarterly installments thereafter, subject to the officer’s continued service through each vesting date. |
4. | RSUs vest 25% on each of the first through fourth anniversaries of the vesting commencement date, subject to Dr. Jallal’s continued service through each vesting date. |
5. | The Non-Executive Director options vest as follows: |
• | Awards Granted in 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022: Other than for Mr. Kaul’s 2022 award (described in note 5 below) and Mr. Krishana’s 2024 award (described in note 6 below), these option awards become fully vested on the one-year anniversary of the grant date. |
• | Awards Granted 2021: These annual option awards vest over a four-year period from the date of grant, with 25% of the award vesting on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and the remaining shares vesting in quarterly installments thereafter, subject to the director’s continued service through each vesting date. |
• | Awards Granted Prior to 2021: These pre-IPO awards were fully vested on the date of grant. |
6. | Represents option awards granted on appointment as a non-executive director in the year ended 31 December 2022, with the award vesting monthly over a period of three years. |
7. | Represents option awards granted on appointment as a non-executive director in the year 2024 (Mr. Krishana) and 2025 (Dr. Pao), with the award vesting monthly over a period of three years. |
Note: | Travis Coy and Robert Perez were originally nominated to our Board by Eli Lilly S.A. and General Atlantic, respectively, pursuant to our pre-IPO fundraising arrangements, which granted a right to each of Eli Lilly S.A. and General Atlantic to appoint an individual to our board. Both directors elected to forgo remuneration in respect of their services as non-executive directors. Further, Mr. Coy resigned from the Board, effective January 1, 2025, in connection with his joining the Company as its Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Head Corporate Development on the same date. |

(1) | The number of share options and RSUs vesting during each year are included on the basis that no performance-based conditions currently apply to equity awards and therefore a disclosure of the percentage permitted to vest in respect of the year is not informative. |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
(2) | While the table above reflects a material increase in total remuneration compared to 2024, this is driven completely by the inclusion of RSU values for the first time in 2025. Given that the value of share option awards are not reflected in the total remuneration described above for the reasons described in this Remuneration Report, this increase does not highlight a change in comparable equity awards granted year-over-year given the equity mix now includes another equity type (i.e., RSUs). |
