Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Theravance Biopharma, Inc. is asking shareholders to vote at its 2026 Annual General Meeting on June 12, 2026 in Dublin, Ireland. Shareholders will elect six directors to one‑year terms, ratify Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditor for 2026, and approve a non‑binding advisory vote on executive pay.

The board is being reduced from nine to six members and fully declassified, so all directors stand for annual election. The company highlights pay-for-performance features in 2025 executive compensation and details strong governance practices, independent board leadership, and active board committees overseeing strategy, risk, and capital allocation.

broker non-vote financial
"A broker non-vote occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner submits a completed proxy card but does not vote on a particular proposal"
Say On Pay financial
"This is commonly referred to as a “Say On Pay” proposal."
Say on pay is a shareholder vote—typically nonbinding—on a company’s executive compensation package, allowing investors to approve or reject how top managers are paid. Think of it as a public performance review: widespread disapproval can signal poor governance, prompt changes to pay practices, attract activist investors, and influence investor confidence and share value. It matters because it gives owners a direct way to influence compensation that affects company incentives and long-term performance.
householding regulatory
"We have adopted a procedure called “householding,” which the SEC has approved."
universal proxy rules regulatory
"to comply with the SEC’s universal proxy rules, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees"
Universal proxy rules require that when shareholders vote to elect directors in a contested election, the proxy card mailed to investors can include candidates nominated by both the company and dissident shareholders, letting investors mix and match their choices on a single ballot. This matters to investors because it makes their vote more flexible and easier to use, like replacing separate lists with one common ballot, which can influence who controls the board and the company’s future direction.
audit committee financial expert financial
"Our board of directors has determined that Dr. Pakianathan, Ms. Gray and Messrs. Broshy and O’Connor each qualify as an audit committee financial expert"
A person on a company’s board who has deep knowledge of accounting, financial reporting and auditing, able to understand and question the books, controls and audit work like a trained mechanic inspecting an engine. Investors care because that expertise helps spot errors, weaknesses or misleading statements early, improving the likelihood that financial reports are accurate and reducing the risk of surprises that can hurt a company’s value.
declassified board financial
"our board of directors was declassified on a phased basis and our current Class I, Class II, and Class III directors are all currently serving for terms expiring at the Annual Meeting."

PROXY STATEMENT FOR
2026 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
This proxy statement is furnished in connection with a solicitation of proxies by our board of directors for use at the 2026 Annual General Meeting (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held at 5:00 pm Irish Time (“IT”) on June 12, 2026, and any adjournments thereof.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT PROCEDURAL MATTERS
Annual Meeting
Q:
Why am I receiving these proxy materials?
A:
Our board of directors is providing these proxy materials to you in connection with our solicitation of proxies for use at the Annual Meeting to be held on June 12, 2026 at 5:00 pm IT, and at any adjournment thereof, for the purpose of considering and acting upon the matters set forth herein. You may attend the Annual Meeting to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement. However, you do not need to attend the meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may simply complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy card or follow the instructions on the enclosed proxy card to submit your proxy via telephone or on the Internet.
Q:
What information is contained in this proxy statement?
A:
The information in this proxy statement relates to the proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, the voting process, the compensation of our directors and certain of our executive officers, corporate governance, and certain other information.
Q:
Where is the Annual Meeting?
A:
The Annual Meeting will be held at The Merrion Hotel, Upper Merrion St., Dublin 2, Ireland. You may attend the Annual Meeting in person; however, we urge you to vote your shares by completing, signing and returning the enclosed proxy card, or following the instructions on the enclosed proxy card to submit your proxy via telephone or on the Internet. We intend to hold a short Annual Meeting that covers only required formal business. We will not be providing a general business update at the Annual Meeting.
Q:
Can I attend the Annual Meeting?
A:
We will hold a physical meeting, which you may attend if you were a shareholder of record or a beneficial owner as of April 13, 2026 (the “Record Date”). For admission to the Annual Meeting, you must present valid picture identification such as a driver’s license or passport and provide proof of share ownership as of the Record Date. The Annual Meeting will be held at The Merrion Hotel, Upper Merrion St., Dublin 2, Ireland and shareholders may request directions to the location of our Annual Meeting by calling (650) 808-4045. However, you do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares and we urge you to vote your shares by completing, signing and returning the enclosed proxy card, or following the instructions on the enclosed proxy card to submit your proxy via telephone or on the Internet. We intend to hold a short Annual Meeting that covers only required formal business. We will not be providing a general business update at the Annual Meeting.
Share Ownership
Q:
What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner?
A:
Shareholders of record — If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., you are considered the “shareholder of record” with respect to those shares and this notice was provided to you directly by us. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the individuals listed on the proxy card or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.
Beneficial owners — Many Theravance Biopharma shareholders hold their shares through a bank, broker, trustee or other nominee, rather than directly in their own name. If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank, trustee or another nominee, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held in “street name” and a notice was forwarded to you by your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee, which is considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares.
 
2

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee on how to vote your shares. Beneficial owners are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since beneficial owners are not shareholders of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you follow your bank’s, broker’s, trustee’s or other nominee’s procedures for obtaining a legal proxy. If you request a printed copy of the proxy materials by mail, your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee may provide a voting instruction card for you to use.
Quorum and Voting
Q:
How many shares must be present or represented to conduct business at the Annual Meeting?
A:
A quorum is the minimum number of shares required to be present at the Annual Meeting for the meeting to be properly held under our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and Cayman Islands law. The presence, in person or by proxy, of shareholders holding in aggregate not less than a majority of the shares of all voting share capital of Theravance Biopharma in issue and entitled to vote will constitute a quorum at the meeting. Except as otherwise expressly provided by the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association or by law, the holders of ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote or for the consent of the shareholders of Theravance Biopharma. Each holder of ordinary shares will have the right to one vote per ordinary share.
A proxy submitted by a shareholder may indicate that the shares represented by the proxy are not being voted with respect to a particular matter. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” are counted as present and entitled to vote and are therefore included for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. A broker non-vote occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner submits a completed proxy card but does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.
Q:
Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?
A:
Holders of record of our ordinary shares at the close of business on April 13, 2026, the Record Date, are entitled to receive notice of and to vote their shares at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, we had 51,514,968 ordinary shares in issue. In deciding all matters at the Annual Meeting, each holder of ordinary shares of Theravance Biopharma will be entitled to one vote per ordinary share held as of the close of business on the Record Date. We do not have cumulative voting rights for the election of directors.
Q:
How can I vote my shares in person at the Annual Meeting?
A:
Shares held in your name as the shareholder of record may be voted in person at the Annual Meeting. Shares held beneficially in street name may be voted in person at the Annual Meeting only if you obtain legal proxy from the broker, trustee or other nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy card or follow the voting directions described below.
Q:
How can I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?
A:
Shareholder of record — If you are a shareholder of record, there are three ways to vote without attending the Annual Meeting:

Via the Internet — You may vote by proxy via the Internet by following the instructions provided in the proxy card.

By Telephone — You may vote by proxy by telephone by calling the toll-free number found on the proxy card.

By Mail — You may vote by proxy by filling out the proxy card and returning it in the envelope provided.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
Beneficial owners — If you are a beneficial owner holding shares through a bank, broker, trustee or other nominee, please refer to the information forwarded by your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee to see the voting options available to you.
Q:
What proposals will be voted on at the Annual Meeting?
A:
At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will be asked to vote:
(1)
To elect the six directors identified in this proxy statement to serve as directors until the annual general meeting held in 2027 and until their successors are duly elected and qualified;
(2)
To ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026;
(3)
To vote on a non-binding advisory resolution regarding the compensation of our named executive officers; and
(4)
To transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof.
Q:
What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?
A:
Proposal One — An ordinary resolution, being a simple majority of the votes duly cast at the annual general meeting, is required for the election of each director. If the number of shares voted “FOR” a director nominee exceeds the number of votes cast “AGAINST,” the nominee will be elected as a director. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” on each of the nominees for election as director. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of Proposal One, other than counting towards the quorum of the meeting.
Proposal Two — An ordinary resolution, being a simple majority of the votes duly cast at the annual general meeting, is required to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. If the number of shares voted “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm exceeds the number of votes cast “AGAINST,” the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm will be ratified. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not affect the outcome of Proposal Two, other than counting towards the quorum of the meeting.
Proposal Three — An ordinary resolution, being a simple majority of the votes duly cast at the annual general meeting is required for the non-binding advisory resolution regarding the compensation of our named executive officers. If the number of shares voted “FOR” the non-binding advisory resolution regarding the compensation of our named executive officers exceeds the number of votes cast “AGAINST,” such resolution will be approved. This “Say On Pay” vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on our compensation committee or board of directors. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” Abstentions and broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of Proposal Three, other than counting towards the quorum of the meeting.
Q:
How does the board of directors recommend that I vote?
A:
Our board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote your shares:
(1)
FOR” each of the nominees for director identified in Proposal One; and
(2)
FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 as included in Proposal Two; and
(3)
FOR” the approval of the non-binding advisory resolution regarding the compensation of our named executive officers as included in Proposal Three.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
Q:
What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions?
A:
Shareholder of record — If you are a shareholder of record and you indicate when voting on the Internet or by telephone that you wish to vote as recommended by our board of directors or sign and return a proxy card without giving specific voting instructions, then the persons named as proxy holders will vote your shares in the manner recommended by the board of directors on all matters presented in this proxy statement and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion with respect to any other matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting.
Beneficial owners — If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and do not provide the bank, broker, trustee or other nominee that holds your shares with specific voting instructions then, under applicable rules, the bank, broker, trustee or other nominee that holds your shares may generally vote on “routine” matters but cannot vote on “non-routine” matters. If the bank, broker, trustee or other nominee that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, that bank, broker, trustee or other nominee will inform the inspector of election that it does not have the authority to vote on this matter with respect to your shares. This is generally referred to as a “broker non-vote.”
Q:
How may my bank, broker, trustee or other nominee vote my shares if I fail to provide timely directions?
A:
Banks, brokers, trustees or other nominees holding ordinary shares in street name for customers are generally required to vote such shares in the manner directed by their customers. In the absence of timely directions, your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee will have discretion to vote your shares on our sole routine matter — the proposal to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP. Your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee will not have discretion to vote on any of the other matters absent direction from you as they are each “non-routine” matters.
Please note that banks, brokers, trustees or other nominees may not vote your shares on Proposals One or Three, in the absence of your specific instructions as to how to vote, so we encourage you to provide instructions to your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee regarding the voting of your shares.
Q:
What happens if additional matters are presented at the Annual Meeting?
A:
If any other matters are properly presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting, including, among other things, consideration of a motion to adjourn the Annual Meeting to another time or place (including, without limitation, for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies), the persons named in the proxy card and acting thereunder will have discretion to vote on those matters in accordance with their best judgment. We do not currently anticipate that any other matters will be raised at the Annual Meeting.
Q:
Can I change or revoke my vote?
A:
If you are a shareholder of record, you may change your vote by (1) filing with our Secretary, prior to your shares being voted at the Annual Meeting, a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy card, in either case dated later than the prior proxy card relating to the same shares, or (2) by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person (although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy). A shareholder of record that has voted on the Internet or by telephone may also change his or her vote by later making a timely and valid Internet or telephone vote.
If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, subject to any rules your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee may have, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee.
Any written notice of revocation or subsequent proxy card must be received by our Secretary prior to the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting. Such written notice of revocation or subsequent proxy card should be hand delivered to our Secretary or should be sent to us care of our U.S. subsidiary, Theravance Biopharma US, LLC, at 901 Gateway Boulevard, South San Francisco, California 94080, Attention: Secretary.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
We urge you to vote your shares by completing, dating, signing and returning the enclosed proxy card, or following the instructions on the enclosed proxy card to submit your proxy via telephone or on the Internet. Changing your vote prior to the Annual Meeting is most easily accomplished if you submit your proxy via telephone or on the Internet, as your vote may then be changed by simply submitting a new vote via telephone or on the Internet.
Q:
Who will bear the cost of soliciting votes for the Annual Meeting?
A:
We will bear all expenses of this solicitation, including the cost of preparing and mailing these proxy materials. We will bear the cost of reimbursing banks, brokerage firms, custodians, nominees, fiduciaries and other persons representing beneficial owners of ordinary shares for their reasonable expenses in forwarding solicitation material to such beneficial owners. Directors, officers and employees of Theravance Biopharma may also solicit proxies in person or by other means of communication. Such directors, officers and employees will not be additionally compensated but may be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such solicitation.
Q:
Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?
A:
We intend to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and will disclose the final results in a current report on Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting.
Shareholder Proposals and Director Nominations
Q:
What is the deadline to propose actions for consideration at next year’s annual general meeting or to nominate individuals to serve as directors?
A:
You may submit proposals, including director nominations, for consideration at future shareholder meetings.
Requirements for shareholder proposals to be considered for inclusion in our proxy materials — Shareholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement and for consideration at our next annual general meeting by submitting their proposals in writing to our Secretary in a timely manner. In order to be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2027 annual general meeting, shareholder proposals must be received at our principal executive offices no later than December 29, 2026 (that is, not less than 120 calendar days before the one year anniversary of the date this proxy statement was released to shareholders in connection with the 2026 Annual Meeting), and must otherwise comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Requirements for shareholder proposals to be brought before an annual general meeting — Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association establish an advance notice procedure for shareholders who wish to present certain matters before an annual general meeting. Under our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the only business that may be conducted at an annual general meeting is business that is (i) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of our board of directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof), (ii) otherwise properly brought before the annual general meeting by or at the direction of our board of directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof) or (iii) properly brought before the annual general meeting by a shareholder who has delivered written notice to our Secretary no later than the Notice Deadline (as defined below) and otherwise complied with the provisions of our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association; provided, however, that our board of directors may, subject to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, resolve not to include any proposal for business made by a shareholder other than a proposal related to the nomination of a director made in accordance with the Nomination Notice Deadline. The “Notice Deadline” is defined as that date which is at least 45 days and not more than 75 days prior to the one year anniversary of the date on which we first mailed proxy materials for the prior year’s annual general meeting; provided, however, that if our annual general

meeting occurs on a date more than 25 days earlier or later than the prior year’s annual general meeting, then our board shall determine a date a reasonable period prior to our annual general meeting by which date the shareholder’s notice must be delivered and publicize such date in a filing pursuant to the Exchange Act, or via press release. Such publication shall occur at least ten days prior to the date set by our board. As a result, we anticipate that the Notice Deadline for the 2027 annual general meeting will be between February 12, 2027 and March 14, 2027.
In general, nominations for the election of directors may be made by (i) our board of directors or any committee thereof or (ii) any shareholder who (a) is a shareholder of record on the date of the giving of such notice and on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting and (b) has delivered written notice to our Secretary no later than the Nomination Notice Deadline (as defined below), which notice must contain specified information concerning the nominees and concerning the shareholder proposing such nominations. The “Nomination Notice Deadline” is defined as that date that is not less than 120 days and not more than 150 days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the event less than 130 days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to shareholders, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the earlier of the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made.
In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, to comply with the SEC’s universal proxy rules, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must generally provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than April 13, 2027, which is 60 calendar days prior to the anniversary of the 2026 Annual General Meeting date.

Q:
How may I obtain a copy of the provisions of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association regarding shareholder proposals and director nominations?
A:
A copy of our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association is posted on the Investor Relations portion of our website at www.theravance.com. A copy of the full text of the provisions discussed above may also be obtained by writing to our Secretary. A copy of all requests should also be sent to us care of our U.S. subsidiary, Theravance Biopharma US, LLC, at 901 Gateway Boulevard, South San Francisco, California 94080, Attention: Secretary.
Additional Information about the Proxy Materials
Q:
What does it mean if multiple members of my household are shareholders but we only received one set of proxy materials in the mail?
A:
We have adopted a procedure called “householding,” which the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has approved. Under this procedure, we deliver a single copy of the proxy materials to multiple shareholders who share the same address unless we received contrary instructions from one or more of the shareholders. This procedure reduces our printing costs, mailing costs, and fees. Shareholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy cards. Upon written or oral request, we will deliver promptly a separate copy of the proxy materials to any shareholder at a shared address to which we delivered a single copy of any of these documents. To receive a separate copy of the proxy materials, shareholders should send their requests to us care of our U.S. subsidiary, Theravance Biopharma US, LLC, at 901 Gateway Boulevard, South San Francisco, California 94080, Attention: Secretary. Shareholders who share an address who receive separate copies of their proxy materials may use the same contact information to request a single copy of our proxy materials. Shareholders who hold shares in street name (as described above) may contact their brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer, trustee or other nominee to request information about householding.

PROPOSAL ONE: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
General
Our board of directors may establish the authorized number of directors from time to time by resolution. In connection with our continued focus on our strategic priorities and ongoing efforts to align our governance structure with our current size, stage, and operational focus, the board of directors has determined to reduce the size of the board of directors from nine directors to six directors effective as of the Annual Meeting. The board of directors believes that a smaller, more streamlined board of directors will enhance effective oversight and decision-making and better align with our more targeted business focus.
Prior to the Annual Meeting, the members of our board of directors were divided into three classes with staggered terms. Pursuant to our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, our board of directors was declassified on a phased basis and our current Class I, Class II, and Class III directors are all currently serving for terms expiring at the Annual Meeting. Commencing with the election of directors at the Annual Meeting and at each annual general meeting thereafter, our board of directors will no longer be classified and all directors will be elected to serve one-year terms. A director serves in office until his or her respective successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.
Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association authorize only our board of directors to fill vacancies on our board of directors created by death or resignation of a director. Any director appointed by our board of directors shall hold office until the subsequent annual general meeting and shall then be eligible for re-election. Your proxy cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named in this proxy statement.
Nominees
Six directors have been nominated for election at the Annual Meeting, each for a one-year term expiring in 2027. Upon the recommendation of our nominating/corporate governance committee, our board of directors has nominated Laurie Smaldone Alsup, Susannah Gray, Dean J. Mitchell, Donal O’Connor, Deepika R. Pakianathan, and Rick E Winningham, each a current director, for election as directors. The term of office of each person elected as director will continue until such director’s term expires in 2027 and until such director’s successor has been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. In determining the nominees for election at the Annual Meeting, the nominating/corporate governance committee and the board of directors evaluated the current composition of the board and our strategic priorities, as highlighted in the section entitled “Corporate Governance — Board Composition, Skills, Experience and Tenure.” In connection with the reduction in the size of our board of directors, Mr. Broshy, Mr. Grant, and Mr. Kelly are not standing for reelection. The decision was not as a result of any disagreement regarding our operations, policies or practices. We thank them for their service and contributions to our Company.
The following is a brief biography of each nominee nominated for election at the Annual Meeting. Also listed below are the nominees’ and directors’ respective ages as of April 13, 2026. We have determined that each of these director nominees possesses the requisite communication skills, personal integrity, business judgment, ability to make independent analytical inquiries, and willingness to devote adequate time and effort necessary to serve as an effective member of the board of directors. Other specific experiences, qualifications, attributes or skills of nominees that contributed to our board’s conclusion that the nominees should serve as directors are noted below.

PROPOSAL TWO: RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Our audit committee has appointed the firm of Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, to audit our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2026. Notwithstanding its selection and even if our shareholders ratify the selection, our audit committee, in its discretion, may appoint another independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the audit committee believes that such a change would be in the best interests of Theravance Biopharma and its shareholders. At the Annual Meeting, the shareholders are being asked to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026.
Our audit committee is submitting the selection of Ernst & Young LLP to our shareholders because we value our shareholders’ views on our independent registered public accounting firm and as a matter of good corporate governance. Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to attend the Annual Meeting and they will have an opportunity to make statements and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders. If this proposal does not receive the affirmative approval of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal, the audit committee would reconsider the appointment.

PROPOSAL THREE:
ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
We are required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act to give shareholders the right to vote to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers. This is commonly referred to as a “Say On Pay” proposal.
This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement. As described further in the “Executive Compensation” section of this proxy statement, beginning on page 32, including the “Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table,” the primary goals of our compensation programs are to fairly compensate employees, attract and retain highly qualified employees, motivate the performance of our employees towards key corporate goals, reward the achievement of such goals, and align our employees’ long-term interests with those of our shareholders. To this end, the compensation provided to our named executive officers in 2025 included the following features:

We link compensatory rewards to achievement of corporate operating goals designed to increase shareholder value and align our executives’ interest with those of shareholders through equity incentive compensation which vests over time and gives our executives a direct proprietary interest in our operations and future success.

No changes have been made to Mr. Winningham’s base salary and target bonus since 2021 and Mr. Winningham was not granted any equity in 2025 in order to further reduce employee compensation costs in 2025.

Each of our executive officers received an annual cash bonus under our performance-based cash bonus program based on our achievement of 2025 corporate goals, which were intended to be motivational, challenging and focused on goals designed to meaningfully impact shareholder value.
In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are asking shareholders to vote on the following resolution:
“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the compensation paid to the company’s named executive officers as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the compensation tables and narrative discussion, is hereby approved.”
An ordinary resolution, being a simple majority of the votes duly cast at the Annual Meeting, is required for the non-binding advisory resolution regarding the compensation of our named executive officers. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of Proposal Three, other than counting towards the quorum of the meeting.
This “Say On Pay” vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on our compensation committee or board of directors. Our board of directors and our compensation committee value the opinions of our shareholders, however, and will carefully review and consider the voting results when evaluating our executive compensation programs. We expect that our next shareholder vote on a “Say on Pay” Proposal will occur at our 2027 annual general meeting.
OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AS DISCLOSED PURSUANT TO ITEM 402 OF REGULATION S-K, INCLUDING THE COMPENSATION TABLES AND NARRATIVE DISCUSSION.

Our ordinary shares are listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “TBPH.” The listing rules of this stock exchange generally require that a majority of the members of a listed company’s board of directors be independent. In addition, the rules of Nasdaq require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation, and nominating/corporate governance committees be independent. Under Nasdaq’s rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if that person is not an executive officer of the company and, in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
Audit committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act. In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors, or any other board committee: (1) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries; or (2) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.
Compensation committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth under the Nasdaq rules. In order for a member of a listed company’s compensation committee to be considered independent for purposes of the Nasdaq rules, the listed company’s board of directors must consider all factors specifically relevant to determine whether a director has a relationship to the company which is material to that director’s ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a compensation committee member, including but not limited to: (1) the source of compensation of such director, including any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee paid by the company to such director; and (2) whether such director is affiliated with the company, a subsidiary of the company or an affiliate of a subsidiary of the company.
Our board of directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each director. In making this determination, our board of directors considered the relationships that each non-employee director has with us and all other facts and circumstances that our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence. Based on this review, our board of directors has determined that all of our directors in 2025 and all of our nominees for director at the Annual Meeting, other than Mr. Winningham, are “independent” as that term is defined under the Nasdaq for purposes of serving on our board of directors and those committees of our board of directors upon which each such director sits. The independent members of our board of directors hold, and will continue to hold, separate regularly scheduled executive session meetings at which only independent directors are present.
Board Leadership Structure
The roles of Chair of the board and Chief Executive Officer are separated, and the Chair of the board is an independent director. The board of directors believes this structure supports independent oversight of management while allowing the Chief Executive Officer to focus on operational goals. The board of directors elected Susannah Gray to the role of chair of the board of directors. The board of directors periodically reviews its leadership structure to ensure it remains appropriate.
Board Committees
Our board of directors has established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating/ corporate governance committee, as well as a strategic review committee, a development and

commercialization committee and an administrative equity awards committee. Our board of directors and its committees set schedules for meetings throughout the year and can also hold special meetings and act by written resolutions from time to time, as appropriate. Our board of directors has delegated various responsibilities and authority to its committees as generally described below. The committees regularly report on their activities and actions to the full board of directors. Each member of each of our compensation, nominating/corporate governance and audit committees qualifies as an independent director in accordance with Nasdaq listing standards. Each committee of our board of directors has a written charter approved by our board of directors. Copies of the audit committee charter, the compensation committee charter, the nominating/ corporate governance committee charter, and the development and commercialization committee charter are posted on the Investor Relations portion of our website at www.theravance.com.

Our board of directors has determined that Dr. Pakianathan, Ms. Gray and Messrs.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, our audit committee held six meetings.
The audit committee of our board of directors oversees our accounting practices, system of internal controls, audit processes and financial reporting processes. Among other things, our audit committee is responsible for periodically reviewing financial reporting processes and disclosure controls and processes based on consultation with the company’s management and independent auditors and counsel and reviewing with management and the independent auditors the adequacy and effectiveness of the company’s internal controls over financial reporting and the effectiveness of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures. It reviews and discusses guidelines and policies governing the process by which we assess risk and manage our exposure to risks, including major financial risks and cybersecurity and other information technology and enterprise risks. It also discusses the scope and results of the audit with our independent registered public accounting firm, reviews with our management and our independent registered public accounting firm our interim and year-end operating results and, as appropriate, initiates inquiries into aspects of our financial affairs. Our audit committee is responsible for establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, and for the confidential, anonymous submission by our employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters. In addition, our audit committee has sole and direct responsibility for the appointment, retention, compensation and oversight of the work of our independent registered public accounting firm, including approving services and fee arrangements. Significant related party transactions will be approved by our audit committee before we enter into them, as required by applicable rules and listing standards.

Nasdaq. The purpose of our compensation committee is to review and approve our overall compensation strategy and policies. Specifically, our compensation committee reviews and approves corporate performance goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our executive officers and other senior management; reviews and approves the compensation and other terms of employment of our principal executive officer and other executive officers; approves the individual bonus programs in effect for our principal executive officer, other executive officers and any key employees for each fiscal year; recommends to our board of directors the compensation of our directors; recommends to our board of directors the adoption or amendment of equity and cash incentive plans; grants options and other equity awards; and administers our equity incentive plans and similar programs. During the year ended December 31, 2025, our compensation committee held six meetings and acted by unanimous written consent three times.
Mr. Winningham, our principal executive officer, does not participate in the determination of his own compensation or the compensation of our directors. However, he makes recommendations to our compensation committee regarding the amount and form of the compensation of the other executive officers and any key employees, and he often participates in the committee’s deliberations about their compensation. Our General Counsel and our Senior Vice President & Chief Strategy Officer also assisted our compensation committee in its executive officer, director and employee compensation deliberations in 2025. No other executive officers participate in the determination of the amount or form of the compensation of our executive officers or directors.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, our compensation committee engaged the services of Frederic W. Cook & Co. (“FW Cook”), a compensation consulting firm, to advise the compensation committee regarding the amount and types of compensation that we provide to our executives and directors and how our compensation practices compare to the compensation practices of other companies. FW Cook reports directly to the compensation committee. FW Cook does not provide any services to us other than the services provided to the compensation committee. The compensation committee has assessed the independence of FW Cook pursuant to SEC rules and Nasdaq listing standards and concluded that no conflict of interest exists that would prevent FW Cook from independently representing the committee.
Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee

Pakianathan and Smaldone Alsup and Mr. Kelly, each of whom is a non-employee member of our board of directors and is independent under applicable requirements of Nasdaq.

From and after the Annual Meeting, the members of the nominating/corporate governance committee are expected to be Drs. Pakianathan and Smaldone Alsup and Mr. Mitchell, each of whom is a non-employee member of our board of directors and is independent under applicable requirements of Nasdaq.

strategy, execution and medical affairs activities.

The strategic review committee is a committee of our board of directors established to identify, evaluate and implement strategies intended to maximize the value of the company’s assets and deliver such value to shareholders. The committee works independently of management while conferring with management and the board of directors to evaluate assumptions, assess opportunities and develop recommendations for board consideration. Among other things, the strategic review committee reviews and assesses the value of the company’s key assets and identifies opportunities to optimize such value, including potential strategic transactions. The committee also evaluates the financial and tax implications of potential strategies and transactions, monitors the execution of approved initiatives and reviews their effectiveness.

The committee reports its activities, findings and recommendations to the board of directors, which retains final approval authority over all actions. During the year ended December 31, 2025, our strategic review committee held thirteen meetings.
Considerations in Evaluating Director Nominees
Our nominating/corporate governance committee’s criteria and process for evaluating and identifying the candidates that it selects, or recommends to the full board of directors for selection, as director nominees are as follows:

Our nominating/corporate governance committee evaluates the current composition and organization of the board of directors and its committees, determines future requirements and makes recommendations to the board of directors for approval.

Our nominating/corporate governance committee periodically evaluates the performance of the board of directors and of individual directors and oversees the board of directors’ performance evaluation process, including conducting surveys of director observations, suggestions and preferences.

While our nominating/corporate governance committee has not established specific minimum qualifications for director candidates, in its evaluation of director candidates, including the members of the Board eligible for re-election, our nominating/corporate governance committee considers: (1) the current size and composition of the board of directors and the needs of the board of directors and its committees; (2) such factors as personal integrity, knowledge, complementary skills, expertise, experience, ability to take independent analytical inquiries, understanding of our business environment and willingness to devote adequate time and effort to serve as members of the board of directors; (3) relationships between directors and our customers and suppliers; and (4) such other factors as the committee may consider appropriate.

With regard to candidates who are properly recommended by shareholders or by other means, our nominating/corporate governance committee will review the qualifications of any such candidate, which review may, in our nominating/corporate governance committee’s discretion, include

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
interviewing references, direct interviews with the candidate, or other actions our nominating/ corporate governance committee deems necessary or proper for assessing a candidate.

Our nominating/corporate governance committee has the authority to retain and terminate any third-party search firm to identify director candidates and has the authority to approve the fees and retention terms of such search firm. The board of directors (which includes our Chief Executive Officer) has used and may in the future use the services of a third-party search firm to help identify, screen, conduct background investigations of, and interview potential director candidates.

After completing its review and evaluation of director candidates, our nominating/corporate governance committee selects, or recommends to the full board of directors for selection, the director nominees.
Shareholder Recommendations for Nominations to the Board of Directors
Our nominating/corporate governance committee reviews shareholder recommendations for candidates to our board of directors in accordance with our Board of Directors Guidelines on Significant Corporate Governance Issues (“Corporate Governance Guidelines”) and our Shareholder Director Communications Policy & Procedures. The board of directors’ policy is to consider all bona fide director candidates recommended by shareholders. To recommend a candidate for election to the board of directors, a shareholder must notify the nominating/corporate governance committee by writing to the General Counsel or Secretary of Theravance Biopharma at 901 Gateway Boulevard, South San Francisco, California 94080, Attention: General Counsel/Secretary, no later than the deadlines set forth in Theravance Biopharma’s proxy statement for the preceding annual general meeting. Such shareholder’s notice must include the following information to be considered: (i) to the extent reasonably available, information relating to such director candidate that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act, in which such individual is a nominee for election to the board of directors, including the candidate’s name, age, detailed biographical data and qualifications for serving on our board of directors (including the candidate’s principal occupation or employment), information regarding any relationships between us and the candidate within the last three years and the number of our ordinary shares beneficially owned by the candidate; (ii) the director candidate’s written consent to (A) if selected, be named in Theravance Biopharma’s proxy statement and proxy and (B) if elected, to serve on the board of directors; (iii) a statement from the recommending shareholder in support of the candidate, including a statement regarding the candidate’s satisfaction of the board of directors’ membership criteria set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines; and (iv) any other information that such shareholder believes is relevant in considering the director candidate. The shareholder is also advised to provide evidence of the recommending person’s ownership of our shares and the shareholder’s name and address.
Board Composition, Skills, Experience and Tenure
Our nominating/corporate governance committee and our board of directors are focused on ensuring that a wide range of backgrounds, attributes, viewpoints and experiences are represented on our board of directors. Although we do not have a formal written policy regarding the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees, our nominating/corporate governance committee and our board of directors are committed to identifying qualified candidates whose experiences would complement the board’s existing strengths and support the company’s evolving strategic priorities for inclusion in the pool from which new director candidates are selected.
While our nominating/corporate governance committee is committed to continued focus on and expansion of our board’s skills, experiences and backgrounds, we believe our board of directors, as proposed to be constituted following the Annual Meeting, reflects a strong and complementary mix of expertise relevant to our business and strategy. Our board of directors seeks members with significant leadership experience, while also valuing candidates whose distinct professional and personal backgrounds can broaden the board’s perspectives and enhance its oversight of the company. Our director nominees collectively bring expertise and experience in key areas aligned with our evolving business and strategic priorities, including biopharmaceutical and life sciences industry experience, regulatory strategy, commercialization of pharmaceutical products, capital allocation, corporate strategy and transactions, public company governance, and global business operations.

Of the six directors on our board of directors, as proposed to be constituted following the Annual Meeting, three are women. One member of our board of directors is Asian, and one is a national of, and lives and works in, Ireland.
In addition to regularly assessing the performance of our board of directors, our nominating/corporate governance committee evaluates the mix of skills and experiences represented on the board and considers whether additional or enhanced expertise would benefit the company. The committee generally seeks to bring new perspectives to the board over time. Our nominating/corporate governance committee and our board actively seek to have a mix of both long-tenured directors with deep understanding of our company and our strategies for value creation and shorter-tenured directors with fresh perspectives. In addition, they work to balance the evolution of the board to both bring in new perspectives and enhance our board’s collective skillset and ensure our board will continue to work together with respect, transparency and trust. Our nominating/corporate governance committee and our board believe achieving this balance is critical to fostering an environment of strong decision-making where our board can engage in healthy debate and dialogue and the unique skills and perspectives of each of our board members can be brought to bear for the company.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
As noted above, the compensation committee of our board of directors is currently comprised of Messrs. Broshy, Grant, Mitchell and O’Connor. None of the members of our compensation committee was at any time during the year ended December 31, 2025 (or at any other time) an officer or employee of Theravance Biopharma.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
Meetings of the Board of Directors
The full board of directors met six times during the year ended December 31, 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2025, no director attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the board of directors (held during the period they were a director) and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the board on which they served (held during the period they were a member).
It is our policy that directors are invited and encouraged to attend our annual general meetings and seven of our directors attended the 2025 Annual Meeting.
Board Oversight of Risk
One of the key functions of our board of directors is informed oversight of our risk management process. In particular, our board of directors is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure. Our executive officers are responsible for the day-to-day management of the material risks we face. While our board of directors is ultimately responsible for risk oversight, our board committees assist the board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities in certain areas of risk. The audit committee assists our board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to risk management in the areas of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and related procedures, legal and regulatory compliance, and discusses with management and the independent auditor guidelines and policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, including with respect to cybersecurity and information technology risks. Based on our regular monitoring of our information technology systems, we aren’t aware of any material cybersecurity breaches within the last three years. The nominating/corporate governance committee assists our board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the management of risk associated with board organization, membership and structure, and corporate governance. The compensation committee assesses risks created by the incentives inherent in our compensation policies. Finally, the full board of directors reviews strategic and operational risk in the context of reports from the management team, receives reports on all significant committee activities, and evaluates the risks inherent in significant transactions.
Corporate Responsibility and Governance Matters
We and our board of directors believe that long-term value for shareholders is supported by practices that follow a principled approach to corporate responsibility and governance matters, including human capital management, clinical trial safety and corporate stewardship. Our nominating/corporate governance committee is responsible for overseeing these matters at the board level and reviews our practices with management. We have implemented, and continue to implement, practices designed to have a positive impact on patients, employees and the environment. We are proud that once-daily YUPELRI® is dosed in recyclable single-use vials administered with any standard jet nebulizer. Single-use vials allow for one vial per day of hospital stay and may reduce COPD-related medication waste in the hospital setting compared to multi-dose devices such as metered-dose inhalers, soft-mist inhalers and dry-powder inhalers. When multi-dose devices are used for hospitalized patients, the majority of the medication may be wasted, and both the unused doses and the device are likely to be discarded when the patient is discharged from the hospital.
As further described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed on March 23, 2026, we consider our employee experience to be first-rate and strive to provide a culture of purpose, engagement, and learning. We have a strong value proposition anchored in our Core Values — We Think it Through, We Find a Way, We Get it Done, and We Win Together. We strive to live these values across the company every day, integrating them into everything from our interview, hiring, and onboarding processes to our performance review process, total rewards, and recognition programs. In addition to valuing professional qualifications, we emphasize the importance of character and integrity, fostering a culture of empowerment where employees have ownership in business outcomes.
Reflected in our Core Values are behaviors that keep our people engaged and working collaboratively. Our employees are encouraged to ask questions, make suggestions, and provide input through many forms of corporate communication, such as an open-door policy, all-employee meetings, an anonymous online suggestion box, and an employee survey. Our employee survey is designed to assist us in measuring overall

employee engagement, and we consistently achieve participation rates between 85% to 100%. Our 2025 survey scores averaged an overall score of 4.4 on a scale of 1 (Strongly Disagree) through 5 (Strongly Agree), and we received 98% participation from employees. These survey results provide important insight into our strengths as an organization and allow areas of opportunity to be identified and addressed.
We expect all employees to observe the highest levels of business ethics while delivering the highest levels of performance. These expectations are outlined and reinforced in various documents and forms of communication within and across our company. We encourage employees to speak up and raise questions and concerns promptly about any situation that may violate our Code of Business Conduct, our Core Values, or our policies. We seek to promote an environment that fosters honest communications about matters of conduct related to our business activities, whether that conduct occurs within the company, involves one of our contractors, suppliers, consultants, clients, or any other party with a business relationship with us. We work diligently to make clear that management is prepared to address any reported violations and ensure that it is known that any form of retaliation is strictly prohibited. In addition, we have an easily accessible hotline available to employees wishing to report complaints anonymously.
We strive to build and maintain a positive workplace culture through both our business and human resources practices and policies. We work to eliminate discrimination and harassment in all its forms, including related to color, race, sex or gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, pregnancy, caste, disability, ethnicity, national origin, ancestry, religious beliefs, veteran status, uniformed service member status, or physical or mental disability. We strive to build and foster a culture where all employees feel empowered to be their authentic selves. We have employee-led groups, which are open to all employees, that aim to improve attraction, retention, development, inclusion, and engagement of a talented and global workforce. We are committed to creating a workplace culture that values and celebrates our workforce. We believe that different experiences are essential for innovation and growth, and we are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone feels welcomed, valued, and empowered, fueling our ability to collaborate and win together.
We believe that our talent strategy of providing exciting career growth and development opportunities, recognizing, and rewarding performance, providing competitive compensation and benefits assists us in attracting and retaining the best talent. We believe we are successful in our retention efforts because we provide challenging work assignments, cross-functional teamwork experiences, and career progression supported by new skill-building. We invest in employee learning and development by identifying and providing training and development programs, speakers, tuition reimbursement, and cross-training in areas of interest beyond hired role. We work diligently to attract the best talent from a diverse range of sources to meet the current and future demands of our business. We offer a competitive total rewards package that supports our business strategy to attract, retain and reward our employees in a highly competitive market. Our employees are provided with a strong base salary, cash bonus opportunities, equity incentives, health and wellness benefits, and programs. We regularly evaluate our compensation programs with an independent consultant and utilize industry benchmarking. Understanding the importance of goal setting and ongoing career development conversations, we require managers and employees to play an active role in a performance management process at monthly, quarterly, and annual frequencies. The performance management process is designed to increase clarity and accountability for roles and responsibilities, strengthen communication, and build trust, all while championing personal and professional growth, learning, and success.
Corporate Governance Guidelines
We describe many of our governance practices, policies and perspectives in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are posted on the Investor Relations portion of our website at www.theravance.com. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines address, among other things, our goals with respect to the mix of inside and outside directors, what constitutes independence for outside directors, board membership criteria, which apply equally to new and existing directors, the boards perspective on director retirement, including the annual review of directors over the age of 75, the primary responsibilities of our board, how agendas for our board meeting are set, directors’ access to our employees, executive sessions with only independent directors of our board, director orientation and continuing education, our board committees, and multiple board seats held by directors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
Multiple Board Seats
While our board of directors believes that service on other public company boards provides directors valuable experience that benefits us, our directors are expected to commit sufficient time and attention to the activities of our board, and we maintain a policy to help ensure that our directors have sufficient time to fully engage with and focus on their duties and responsibilities to us. Pursuant to our revised Corporate Governance Guidelines, members of our board of directors can sit on no more than four boards of directors of publicly traded companies, or two such boards of directors in the case of a director who is the CEO, in each case, including our board of directors, without consent of our nominating/corporate governance committee. This allows our nominating/corporate governance committee to assess the impact of the director joining additional boards within the context of a specific situation, including all public company leadership roles and outside commitments. In addition, our nominating/corporate governance committee reviews on a regular basis each director’s ability to be sufficiently committed to our board. When determining whether to allow the continued service of a director who serves on more than four boards of directors of publicly traded companies, or two such boards of directors in the case of a director who is the CEO, or who significantly changes their principal occupation or the role, position or areas of responsibility that they hold, our nominating/corporate governance committee considers, among other things, the director’s attendance and preparation for our board and committee meetings, the director’s availability for meetings with other board members and management in addition to regularly scheduled board and committee meetings, and the quality of the director’s contribution to board and committee discussion and decision-making. All of our directors currently meet the requirements of our Corporate Governance Guidelines’ regarding multiple board seats.
Shareholder Engagement
We value ongoing, constructive dialogue with our shareholders and regularly engage with investors to better understand their perspectives on our strategy, performance, corporate governance, and executive compensation. In 2025, members of management and, as appropriate, our board of directors, engaged with investors that, as of December 31, 2025, held a majority of our outstanding ordinary shares (excluding shares held by former and current directors and officers). During these engagements, we discussed a range of topics, including our strategic priorities, capital allocation philosophy, and corporate governance practices. Management provides summaries of shareholder feedback to our board of directors for discussion and consideration as part of their oversight of our strategy, governance, and executive compensation programs. The board and its committees consider this feedback, together with other relevant factors, in their decision-making processes.
Cooperation Agreement with Shareholder Irenic Capital Management
On December 21, 2023, we entered into a cooperation agreement (the “Cooperation Agreement”) with Irenic Capital Management LP and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Irenic”). Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, we increased the size of our board of directors by one and approved the appointment of Mr. Grant. In 2024, we and Irenic agreed to extend the Cooperation Agreement and we nominated Mr. Grant to continue as a Class II director of the board of directors, with a term expiring at this Annual Meeting. The Cooperation Agreement included certain voting commitments, standstill, mutual non-disparagement provisions, and board composition provisions. Concurrently with the execution of the Cooperation Agreement, we entered into an Information Sharing Agreement (the “Information Sharing Agreement”) with Irenic, pursuant to which Irenic had the right, upon Irenic’s request and subject to confidentiality obligations, including a 2 day trading prohibition following the public release of any such information, to receive certain information from us in connection with any upcoming quarterly or annual financial announcement or investor day. The Cooperation Agreement and the related Information Sharing Agreement described below expired in 2025 in accordance with their terms. This description of the Cooperation Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Cooperation Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K that we filed on December 21, 2023.
Director Compensation

In 2025, each non-employee member of our board of directors received an annual retainer of $50,000 pursuant to our non-employee director compensation program. In addition, we paid the following fixed annual retainers to our non-employee directors for committee service and service as our chairperson and committee chairpersons:

Board chairperson: $35,000

Audit committee chairperson: $20,000

Audit committee member (other than chairperson): $10,000

Compensation committee chairperson: $15,000

Compensation committee member (other than chairperson): $7,500

Nominating/corporate governance committee chairperson: $10,000

Nominating/corporate governance committee member (other than chairperson): $5,000

Development and commercialization committee chairperson: $10,000

Development and commercialization committee member (other than chairperson): $5,000

Strategic review committee chairperson: $20,000

Strategic review committee member (other than chairperson): $10,000
Pursuant to our non-employee director compensation program, we also paid our non-employee directors an additional fee of $1,500 for attending in-person board of directors meetings held outside the United States. All cash compensation to the non-employee members of our board of directors is pro-rated for partial service during the applicable year and paid quarterly in arrears. The members of our board of directors are also eligible for reimbursement for their expenses incurred in attending board meetings in accordance with our non-employee director compensation program.
Equity Compensation
Each of our non-employee directors is also compensated with periodic automatic grants of equity awards under our non-employee director compensation program. These grants are non-discretionary, and only our non-employee directors are eligible to receive these automatic grants.
Automatic Initial Equity Awards
Under our automatic grant program, each individual who first becomes a non-employee director is, on the date such individual joins our board of directors, automatically granted the following equity awards: (i) a grant of restricted share units (“RSUs”) covering ordinary shares with a grant date value of $100,000 and (ii) a nonstatutory share option grant with a Black-Scholes grant date fair value of $125,000. The initial option grants vest monthly over the director’s first two years of service, and the initial RSUs vest in two equal annual installments over the director’s first two years of service. In addition, on the date of joining our board of directors, a new non-employee director also receives the standard annual equity awards (if joining on the date of our annual general meeting) or pro-rated annual equity awards (if joining on any other date), as described below. The pro-ration is based upon the number of months of service the new board member provides during the 12-month period ending on the one-year anniversary of the most recent annual general meeting. The standard annual award vests on the same dates as the automatic annual non-employee director grant described below.
Automatic Annual Equity Awards
At each annual general meeting (if applicable, upon each non-employee director’s re-election to our board of directors), each non-employee director is automatically granted the following equity awards: (i) a grant of RSUs covering ordinary shares with a grant date value of $100,000 and (ii) a nonstatutory share

option grant with a Black-Scholes value of $125,000. These RSUs vest in full on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the date of grant or the next annual general meeting, subject to continued service through such date. The share options vest monthly over the earlier of one year of service or the next annual general meeting.
All automatic equity awards vest in full if we are subject to a change in control or the board member dies or becomes disabled while in service. Each share option granted pursuant to the automatic grant program has an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our ordinary shares on the date of grant, a term of up to ten years and remains exercisable for three years following termination of a director’s service other than for cause. Each RSU granted pursuant to the automatic grant program is settled by issuing our ordinary shares upon vesting and includes cash dividend equivalent rights in the event we pay any cash dividends to shareholders while the award is outstanding.
In addition to the automatic equity awards described above, directors are also eligible to receive other equity awards under our Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (our “2013 Equity Incentive Plan”).

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table
The compensation of our named executive officers generally consists of base salary, annual cash incentive opportunity and equity compensation. Our goal is to maintain a compensation program that will fairly compensate employees while attracting and retaining highly qualified employees, motivating their performance and rewarding the achievement of key corporate goals. We also aim to align employees’ long-term interests with those of our shareholders.
We are a biopharmaceutical company that operates in an extremely competitive, rapidly changing and heavily regulated industry. We believe that the skill, talent, judgment and dedication of our executive officers

and other employees are critical factors affecting our shareholder value. Maximizing the value of our assets and delivering medicines to patients in need requires our executive officers to possess a deep understanding of the science of drug development, formulation and manufacturing, patient needs, prescriber priorities, institutional dynamics, and the evolving reimbursement landscape, and the ability to operate effectively across complex commercial, clinical and strategic environments, including disciplined capital allocation, effective partnership management, clinical and commercial execution, navigation of clinical and regulatory uncertainty, realization of strategic opportunities, and strategic judgment to enhance long-term shareholder value. To ensure we remain competitive in the market to hire and retain employees, our Chief Executive Officer and compensation committee review data about the compensation of similar officers at companies within a peer group established by the compensation committee, with the advice of our compensation consultant.
With our small team and a focus on executing our board of directors’ vision for value creation and the development of medicines that make a difference in the lives of patients, we achieved the following in 2025 and took decisive actions in early 2026 in response to developments with our ampreloxetine program, discussed below:

YUPELRI Net Sales Growth.   In 2025, YUPELRI experienced net sales growth and reached launch-to-date highs in annual net sales and brand profitability. Through the combined commercialization efforts with our partner Viatris Inc., total YUPELRI net sales increased by 12% to $266.6 million in 2025 compared to 2024. Customer demand grew 7% in 2025 compared to 2024. In addition, in January 2026, we received a $25 million milestone payment for the achievement of $250 million in U.S. net sales in 2025.

Sale of TRELEGY® Royalties.   In June 2025, we sold our remaining royalty interest in the global net sales of TRELEGY to GSK plc for $225 million while retaining our right to receive up to $150 million in remaining potential milestone payments from Royalty Pharma Investments. The sales transaction represented the first outcome of the ongoing efforts of our strategic review committee to assess all strategic alternatives available to us to unlock shareholder value.

Achievement of $50 Million TRELEGY® Royalty Milestone Payment for 2025.   In February 2026, we received a $50 million maximum milestone payment from Royalty Pharma Investments associated with the achievement of certain minimum royalty payments related to 2025 TRELEGY global net sales. As of December 31, 2025, we are eligible to receive up to $100.0 million in remaining milestone payments related to TRELEGY’s 2026 global net sales. TRELEGY’s 2025 global net sales of $3.91 billion would exceed the thresholds required to achieve the $100 million milestone in 2026 (based on $3.51 billion of global net sales).

Ampreloxetine Phase 3 Clinical Study Execution.   In 2025, we completed enrollment in our Phase 3 clinical study (CYPRESS) evaluating ampreloxetine for the treatment of symptomatic neurogenic orthostatic hypotension in patients with multiple system atrophy and advanced preparations for potential regulatory submission, while also engaging in strategic planning across a range of potential study outcomes. On March 3, 2026, we announced that our CYPRESS study did not meet its primary endpoint. As a result of this outcome, we have decided to wind down the ampreloxetine program.

Strategic Review Committee.   During 2025, our strategic review committee continued its work with Lazard, its independent financial advisor, to evaluate opportunities available to us to maximize shareholder value, including under multiple potential outcomes for the CYPRESS study. Following the CYPRESS study results in 2026, the strategic review committee is accelerating its evaluation of a broad range of value-maximizing and tax-efficient strategic alternatives, including but not limited to a sale of the company. There can be no assurance that this process will result in any transaction, and we do not intend to disclose further developments regarding this process unless and until we determine that such disclosure is appropriate or necessary. As we proceed with the orderly wind down of the ampreloxetine program, we will complete additional analyses of the CYPRESS dataset and Phase 3 program, in consultation with external experts, to inform any regulatory engagement in the context of the strategic review committee’s ongoing strategic review. This assessment is intended to provide the strategic review committee with additional clarity regarding any remaining value in

ampreloxetine for our shareholders. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of any regulatory engagement or its impact on the strategic review committee’s evaluation of alternatives.

Organizational Restructure.   Following the CYPRESS study outcome and consistent with our focus on disciplined capital allocation, we are implementing an organizational restructuring (the “Restructuring”) to streamline costs and align our resources with our commercial focus on YUPELRI. The Restructuring involves winding down our R&D function and significantly reducing our G&A function. The Restructuring is expected to reduce operating expenses by approximately 60%, relative to 2025 operating expenses of $111.1 million. The full run-rate cost savings of approximately $70 million are expected to be realized beginning in the third quarter of 2026.
2025 Compensation Highlights
In 2025, our compensation committee continued to focus on aligning the incentive compensation of our executives with the performance of the overall company and the interests of our shareholders, as well as managing employee costs. The following represent the highlights of our named executive officer compensation program in 2025:

For the fourth consecutive year, no change was made to Mr. Winningham’s base salary or target bonus.

Mr. Winningham was not granted any equity awards in 2025. Our compensation committee made this decision after considering Mr. Winningham’s suggestion that he forgo his 2025 grant.

Each of our named executive officers was eligible for an annual cash bonus under our performance-based cash bonus program based on our achievement of 2025 corporate goals that reflected key value drivers for us.

Annual replenishment equity awards to our named executive officers (other than Mr. Winningham, who did not receive one) were granted in the form of RSUs.
2025 Base Salaries and Annual Incentive Opportunities
Base salaries are set to reflect compensation commensurate with the executive’s current position, work experience and contribution. Our goal is to attract and retain high caliber talent for the position and to provide a base wage that is stable and subject to relatively little risk. Salary for the Chief Executive Officer and the other named executive officers is determined based on the underlying scope of their respective responsibilities and their personal experience working at innovative biotechnology and drug development companies and takes into account competitive market compensation data. The base salaries and target bonuses of our named executive officers are generally reviewed annually and adjusted when our compensation committee determines that an adjustment is appropriate. Our named executive officers’ 2025 base salaries were as follows: $1,047,431 for Mr. Winningham, $507,535 for Ms. Farnum and €443,835 for Dr. Miller, reflecting no increase for the fourth year in a row for Mr. Winningham, a 3% increase from 2024 for Ms. Farnum and an 8% increase from 2024 for Dr. Miller.
We believe that successful execution against our corporate goals is the best way to enhance shareholder value. Accordingly, each of our named executive officers is eligible for an annual cash bonus under our company-wide bonus program, which is designed to reward achievement of key corporate goals established by our board of directors as well as individual performance. Each participant in our company-wide bonus program, including our named executive officers, has a target bonus stated as a percentage of annual base salary for the year. For 2025, target bonus percentages remained consistent with the prior year and were 50% of annual base salary for senior vice presidents and 60% of annual base salary for our Chief Executive Officer. In determining individual bonuses for our named executive officers, our compensation committee first assesses achievement of the corporate goals to establish the size of the company-wide bonus pool. Then each individual officer’s bonus may be increased or decreased based on a subjective assessment of individual performance, up to a maximum achievement of 200% of the target.
The corporate goals under the bonus program are established by our board of directors annually and are designed to advance our strategic objectives and create long-term shareholder value. These goals are intended to align employee focus and execution with our board of directors’ vision for both near-term and
 
34

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
long-term value creation, as well as our core purpose of developing medicines that make a difference in the lives of patients. Consistent with prior years, we set goals that were intended to be rigorous and to drive strong performance.
In 2025, the bonus program goals were divided into three categories — commercial, development, and corporate — with a weighting assigned to each category and to each individual goal within each category.
At the end of the year, our compensation committee reviewed performance against the goals and determined the overall score for each category. In doing so, the compensation committee considered information presented by management regarding company-wide performance. Achievement for each category, and total bonus funding, is capped at 200% of target. We believe the final score assigned for each goal underscores both the rigor of the goals set and the discipline applied by the compensation committee in determining achievement. The 2025 bonus pool was funded at 66.7% of target for all employees based on the following 2025 goals and achievement determinations:

Commercial (30% weighting).   The commercial goals consisted of (i) a net sales target (weighted at 75%), which we have consistently used as a key performance metric, and (ii) a hospital volume sales target (weighted at 25%), which is intended to reflect performance within the direct control of our employees. The compensation committee determined that the net sales goal was achieved at 122% of target and the hospital volume sales goal was achieved at 140% of target, reflecting performance above target for both measures.

Ampreloxetine (50% weighting).   The ampreloxetine goals consisted of (i) a positive top-line study results goal (weighted at 85%), (ii) an NDA preparation goal (weighted at 7.5%), and (iii) a goal to increase awareness of the high unmet need for symptomatic nOH patients with MSA (weighted at 7.5%). The compensation committee determined that the study results goal was achieved at 0% of target, while both the NDA preparation goal and the awareness goal were achieved at 100% of target.

Corporate (20% weighting).   The corporate goals consisted of (i) an operating expense goal (weighted at 45%), (ii) a goal relating to the support and implementation of one to two corporate transactions (weighted at 45%), and (iii) an employee-centered goal focused on attracting, retaining and developing diverse, engaged and high-performing talent (weighted at 10%). The compensation committee determined that the operating expense goal was achieved at 114% of target, while both the corporate transactions goal and the employee-related goal were achieved at 100% of target.
The total cash bonuses awarded to our named executive officers were each based on achievement of 66.7% of target, consistent with the broader employee population, and are shown in the table below:

2025 Equity Compensation
Our long-term equity incentives are designed to support our strategy of attracting and retaining employees with expertise across a wide range of functional areas, including clinical science and trial execution, regulatory, partnering and collaboration, strategic marketing, marketing science and financial planning. These incentives are also intended to align the interests of our employees with those of our shareholders by linking a significant portion of compensation to the value of our ordinary shares over time, while reinforcing a culture of teamwork and long-term retention in a highly competitive environment. Options have been used primarily as a hiring incentive, with annual replenishment awards historically provided primarily in the form of RSUs to minimize dilution to shareholders. Annual replenishment equity awards are typically considered during the first quarter of each year, with additional awards granted in limited circumstances throughout the year. Replenishment equity awards generally vest over four years. We believe that the resulting overlapping vesting schedule from awards made in prior years, together with the
 
35

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
number of shares subject to each award, helps ensure a meaningful incentive for continued service and to enhance shareholder value over time.
During 2025, all of our named executive officers, other than Mr. Winningham, were granted RSUs under our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. Mr. Winningham did not receive an equity award in 2025 as part of our efforts to reduce employee compensation costs.
The RSUs awarded to our named executive officers in 2025 vest over four years, with 25% vesting on February 20, 2026, and the remaining RSUs vesting in equal quarterly installments on the company vesting dates for the three years thereafter, provided that the named executive officer remains in continuous service through each such date.
Employee Benefits and Perquisites
We generally do not provide perquisites or other personal benefits to named executive officers that we do not provide to all of our employees. However, Dr. Miller receives a €1,000 gross car allowance each month pursuant to her original employment contract.

Employment Arrangements With Named Executive Officers
We entered into offer letters with each of Mr. Winningham and Ms. Farnum at the commencement of their employment with us, and which set forth the initial terms of the officer’s employment with us, including that the officer’s employment will be “at will” and may be terminated at any time. Dr. Miller is employed by our Irish subsidiary pursuant to an employment contract governed by Irish law, under which employment is terminable by either party upon advance notice in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
Severance Arrangements with Named Executive Officers
Each of our named executive officers is eligible for severance benefits pursuant to our executive severance plan, most recently amended in April 2026, which provides both non-change in control-related and change in control-related severance benefits. Mr. Winningham is not eligible for the non-change in control-related severance benefits under the executive severance plan, as he is entitled to non-change in control severance benefits pursuant to his letter agreement entered into in connection with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer. Dr. Miller is not eligible for non-change in control severance benefits under our executive severance plan, as any such entitlements are addressed through the Irish redundancy process. However, Mr. Winningham and Dr. Miller remain eligible for change-in-control benefits under the executive severance plan.
Non-Change in Control Severance Benefits
Pursuant to our executive severance plan, if Ms. Farnum is subject to a termination without misconduct more than 3 months prior to or more than 24 months after our change in control, Ms. Farnum is entitled to the following benefits provided she signs a release of claims:

A lump sum payment equal to 100% of her annual base salary.

Continuation of health and welfare benefits for the shorter of 12 months or the expiration of Ms. Farnum’s continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”).

12 months’ acceleration of equity awards that are subject to time-based vesting conditions.
Mr. Winningham’s offer letter provides that if his employment is terminated by us without cause and he is not eligible for severance benefits under our severance plan (i.e., the change in control-related severance benefits thereunder), he will receive a lump-sum severance payment of 24 months’ salary plus two times his current target bonus, provided he signs a general release of claims. “Cause” means Mr. Winningham’s (i) unauthorized use or disclosure of our confidential information or trade secrets, which use causes material harm to us, (ii) conviction of a felony under the laws of the U. S. or any state thereof, (iii) gross negligence, or (iv) repeated failure to perform lawful assigned duties for thirty days after receiving written notification from our board of directors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
Change in Control Severance Benefits
We believe that the possibility of a change in control creates uncertainty for our officers regarding their continued employment because such transactions frequently result in senior management changes. As a result, we provide enhanced severance and equity acceleration benefits if their involuntary termination of employment is in connection with our change in control. We believe this aligns the interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders and alleviates concerns regarding the possible occurrence of such a transaction, allowing them to focus their attention on our business in a highly competitive labor market. In addition, these protections encourage executives to remain with us during the threat or negotiation of a change in control transaction, which preserves our value and the potential benefit to be received by our shareholders in the transaction.
Pursuant to our executive severance plan, if a named executive officer who is eligible to participate in the executive severance plan is subject to an involuntary termination within 3 months prior to or 24 months after our change in control, the officer is entitled to the following benefits provided he or she signs a release of claims:

In the case of our Senior Vice Presidents, a lump sum payment equal to 150% of the officer’s annual base salary and target bonus.

In the case of our Chief Executive Officer, a lump sum payment equal to 200% of the officer’s annual base salary and target bonus.

A pro-rata portion of the named executive officer’s target bonus based on the number of full months of employment completed in the year of termination.

Continuation of the officer’s health and welfare benefits for the shorter of 18 months or the expiration of the officer’s continuation coverage under COBRA.

Full vesting of any unvested options or other equity awards held by the officer; provided, however, that the PSUs granted to our named executive officers are potentially subject to forfeiture if the performance-based conditions have not been achieved as of the change in control as described below.

In the case of named executive officers who were eligible to participate in the Theravance, Inc. Amended and Restated Change in Control Severance Plan (i.e., such named executive officer was an officer of Innoviva as of December 16, 2009), a tax gross-up payment in the event an independent accounting firm selected by us determines that the named executive officer would be subject to excise taxes under IRC Section 4999 as a result of payments under the executive severance plan or otherwise. Mr. Winningham is the only named executive officer who is eligible for this benefit.
A “change in control” for purposes of our executive severance plan includes:

The consummation of a merger or consolidation if persons who were not our shareholders prior to the merger or consolidation own 50% or more of the voting securities of the surviving company and its parent.

A sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets.

A change in the composition of our board of directors as a result of which fewer than 50% of the incumbent directors either were directors on the date twelve months prior to the change in control (the “Original Directors”) or were appointed or nominated for election to the board of directors by a majority of the Original Directors or directors whose appointment or nomination was approved by at least 50% of the Original Directors.

A transaction as a result of which any person becomes the beneficial owner of 50% or more of our outstanding voting securities.

A transaction shall not constitute a change in control if its sole purpose is to change our country or state of incorporation, as applicable, or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held our securities immediately before such transaction. In addition, a transaction shall not constitute a change in control unless it also constitutes a “change in control event” under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(a)(5).

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
An “involuntary termination” for purposes of our executive severance plan means a termination of an officer’s employment for reasons other than misconduct, or an officer’s voluntary resignation following (1) a material diminution in the officer’s authority, duties or responsibilities, (2) a material reduction in the officer’s base compensation, (3) a material change in the officer’s work location or (4) a material breach of the officer’s employment agreement by us. In order to qualify as voluntary resignation for purposes of an involuntary termination, the officer must give written notice to us within 90 days after the initial existence of one of the conditions described above and such condition must not have been cured by us within 30 days thereafter.
“Misconduct” for purposes of our executive severance plan means an officer’s (1) commission of any material act of fraud, embezzlement or dishonesty, (2) material unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information or trade secrets or (3) other material intentional misconduct adversely affecting our business or affairs.
The PSUs granted to Ms. Farnum and Dr. Miller in 2024 that are currently outstanding and that remain eligible to vest contingent upon achievement of certain YUPELRI sales goals, for Ms. Farnum, and certain ampreloxetine related goals, for Dr. Miller, which were not achieved as of December 31, 2025, include provisions for assessing achievement and potential forfeiture of such PSUs to the extent the performance-based conditions have not been satisfied prior to the change in control:
Assessment of Performance-Based Conditions
Service-Based Vesting
The performance period applicable to the PSUs will end on the change in control and to the extent the performance-based condition has not been achieved, it will be assessed and deemed achieved at the greater of (i) actual achievement or (ii) 2% of the PSUs will be earned for each 1% by which the per share value received by a holder of our ordinary shares in such change in Control (the “CIC Value”) is greater than the base value of $10.35. Any unearned PSUs will be forfeited.
Ms. Farnum: 50% on the first company vesting date after the end of the performance period; 50% on the first anniversary of such date, subject to the officer’s continuous service.
Dr. Miller: 50% on February 20, 2026, 25% on August 20, 2026, and 25% on February 20, 2027, subject to the officer’s continuous service.
Corporate Governance Policies
Share Ownership Guidelines
Our named executive officers are subject to share ownership guidelines. The share ownership guidelines require each of our executive officers to own shares equal in value to a multiple of six times base salary for our CEO and two times base salary for our other executive officers. Ownership requirements may be satisfied with shares and RSUs, whether or not vested but excluding shares still subject to a performance condition. Executive officers are required to comply with these guidelines by January 1, 2023, or, if later, by the five-year anniversary of their becoming an executive officer. Thereafter, compliance is measured annually. If, at a compliance measurement date, a named executive officer does not meet the applicable guideline, then until such officer complies, he or she will be expected to hold 50% of our after-tax shares acquired thereafter, whether by option exercise, vesting or settlement of equity awards. All named executive officers are in compliance with our share ownership guidelines, with the exception of named executive officers who do not yet have sufficient tenure to require compliance with such guidelines.
Clawback Policy
Our named executive officers are subject to our clawback policy which, consistent with SEC and Nasdaq rules, requires the reimbursement of certain incentive-based compensation in the event of a restatement of our financial statements due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under U.S. securities laws.
Equity Grant Policy
Although we do not have a formal policy with respect to the timing of stock option grants, they are primarily used as a hiring incentive and are typically granted within the month following the date a new

employee commences employment with us. Our annual equity awards are granted on a predetermined annual schedule, and we do not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of equity awards. We do not grant equity awards, including stock options, in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information and we do not time the release of material nonpublic information based on equity award grant dates or for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. Further, during the 2025 fiscal year, we did not grant any stock options to our named executive officers.
Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation
Our most recent advisory vote on named executive officer compensation took place at our 2025 annual meeting of shareholders. Of the votes cast by our shareholders on this proposal at the meeting, 98.8% voted “For” for a non-binding advisory resolution approving the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in the proxy statement for that meeting. Our compensation committee carefully reviewed the results of the 2025 advisory vote and considered feedback received through our shareholder engagement efforts (as described under “Shareholder Engagement” above). The compensation committee remains committed to ongoing shareholder engagement and will continue to consider shareholder feedback and evolving best practices in its oversight of executive compensation.
Pay-Versus-Performance
As required by Section 952(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid and our financial performance for each of the last three completed fiscal years. In determining the “compensation actually paid” to our named executive officers (or “NEOs”), we are required to make various adjustments to amounts that have been previously reported in the Summary Compensation Table in previous years, as the SEC’s valuation methods for this disclosure differ from those required in the Summary Compensation Table. For our NEOs other than our principal executive officer (the “PEO”), compensation is reported as an average.

Pursuant to its terms, our sole non-shareholder approved plan, the Theravance Biopharma, Inc. 2014 New Employee Equity Incentive Plan (“2014 Plan”), expired in October 2024 upon reaching the end of its 10-year term. As a result, no additional shares will be issued under the 2014 Plan, although awards previously granted under the 2014 Plan will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms.
The 2014 Plan was a non- shareholder approved plan, which was adopted by our board of directors on October 22, 2014 and is intended to satisfy the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4) or any successor thereto. The 2014 Plan provided for grants of nonstatutory share options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares and share units were available for grant under the 2014 Plan to new employees of Theravance Biopharma, prior to its expiration in October 2024. Our board of directors authorized 750,000 of our ordinary shares for issuance under the 2014 Plan. All option grants made pursuant to the 2014 Plan had an exercise price per share of no less than 100% of the fair market value per ordinary share on the grant date. Each option or other equity incentive award granted pursuant to the 2014 Plan vested in installments over the holder’s period of service with us. Additional features of the 2014 Plan are described in Part II, Item 8. Note 11 and Part II, Item 5 of our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 23, 2026.

Winningham Restricted Share Purchase Agreement
On March 15, 2024, we entered into a restricted share purchase agreement (the “RSPA”) with Rick E Winningham, our Chief Executive Officer and Director, under our Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
Transactions, arrangements or relationships in which we were, are or will be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest are subject to review, approval or ratification by our audit committee or the independent members of our board of directors. Our board of directors has adopted written policies and procedures with respect to related person transactions and our audit committee has the principal responsibility for reviewing related person transactions. In conformance with SEC regulations, these policies and procedures define related persons to include our executive officers, our directors and nominees to become a director of our company, any person who is known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons, and any firm, corporation or other entity in which any of the foregoing persons is employed, is a general partner or in which such person has a 5% or greater beneficial ownership interest. As set forth in our policies and procedures, it is our general policy to approve or ratify related person transactions only when the board of directors or a

committee of the board of directors determines that the transaction is in, or is not inconsistent with, our and our shareholders’ best interests, including situations where we may obtain products or services of a nature, quantity or quality, or on other terms, that are not readily available from alternative sources or when the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm’s length dealings with an unrelated third party.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires that our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of our ordinary shares file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the SEC. Such directors, executive officers and 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. We believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, our directors, executive officers and greater than 10% shareholders complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements. In making this statement, we have relied upon a review of the copies of Section 16(a) reports filed with the SEC during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and written representations from certain parties that no other reports were due.

Role of the Audit Committee
The audit committee operates under a written charter adopted by our board of directors. The audit committee of our board of directors oversees our accounting practices, system of internal controls, audit processes and financial reporting processes. Among other things, our audit committee is responsible for reviewing our disclosure controls and processes, and the adequacy and effectiveness of our internal controls. It also discusses the scope and results of the audit with our independent registered public accounting firm, reviews with our management and our independent registered public accounting firm our interim and year-end operating results and, as appropriate, initiates inquiries into aspects of our financial affairs. Our audit committee is responsible for establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, and for the confidential, anonymous submission by our employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters. In addition, our audit committee has sole and direct responsibility for the appointment, retention, compensation and oversight of the work of our independent registered public accounting firm, including approving services and fee arrangements. Significant related party transactions will be approved by our audit committee before we enter into them, as required by applicable rules and listing standards. A more detailed description of the functions and responsibilities of the audit committee can be found in our audit committee charter, published on the Investor Relations portion of our website at www.theravance.com.
The audit committee oversees our financial reporting process on behalf of the board of directors. Management is responsible for our internal controls, financial reporting process, selection of accounting principles, determination of estimates and compliance with laws, regulations and ethical business conduct. Our independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for expressing an opinion as to the conformity of our consolidated financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles.
Review of Audited Financial Statements for the Year Ended December 31, 2025
The audit committee has reviewed and discussed with Theravance Biopharma’s management and Ernst & Young LLP the audited consolidated financial statements of Theravance Biopharma for the year ended December 31, 2025. The audit committee has also discussed with Ernst & Young LLP the matters required to be discussed by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC regarding communications between our independent registered public accounting firm and audit committee.
The audit committee has received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from Ernst & Young LLP required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP its independence.
In performing its functions, the audit committee acts in an oversight capacity and necessarily relies on the work and assurances of our management, which has the primary responsibility for financial statements and reports, and of the independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, who in their report express an opinion on the conformity of our annual financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. It is not the duty of the audit committee to plan or conduct audits, to determine that our financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Within this framework, the audit committee has reviewed and discussed with management our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025. The audit committee has also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 1301, “Communications with Audit Committees,” issued by the Public
