Consideration”), and (ii)(A) one Milestone 1 CVR and (B) one Milestone 2 CVR (together, the “Per Share CVR Consideration” and, together
with the Per Share Cash Consideration, the “Per Share Consideration”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set out herein and the Scheme of
Arrangement and (b) accordingly, immediately following the Effective Time and as an indirect consequence of the Scheme of Arrangement, the holders of Company ADSs shall cease to have any rights with respect to the Company ADSs except for the
right to receive, in exchange for each Company ADS, (i) an amount of cash equal to $14.50 (the “Per ADS Cash Consideration”) and (ii) (A) five Milestone 1 CVRs and (B) five Milestone 2

declared it advisable to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Transaction, and (ii) approved the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, including the Transaction;

WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement to the willingness of Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, certain of the Company
Shareholders are entering into voting and transaction support agreements with Purchaser (each, a “Support Agreement”) pursuant to which, on the terms and
subject to the conditions therein, such Company Shareholders have agreed to vote their Company ADSs and/or Company Ordinary Shares in favor of the approval of the Scheme of Arrangement at the Scheme Meeting and the passing of the Company

ARTICLE I
THE TRANSACTION
THE TRANSACTION
Section 1.1 The Transaction. At the Effective Time, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement,
the Scheme of Arrangement will become effective, pursuant to which Purchaser shall acquire the Scheme Shares. The Scheme Shares will be acquired fully paid, with full title guarantee, free from all Liens (other than transfer restrictions arising
under applicable securities laws) and together with all rights at the Effective Time or thereafter attached or relating thereto, including voting rights and the right to receive and retain all dividends and other distributions (if any) and any
other return of capital (whether by way of reduction of share capital or share premium account or otherwise) thereon.
Section 1.2 Closing. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing
between Purchaser and Company, the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”) shall occur as promptly as practicable (and in any event within three Business Days)
following the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or
waiver of such conditions). The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to as the “Closing Date”. To the extent that documents and signatures are
required to be executed or provided at the Closing, such matters shall be dealt with by way of a virtual closing through electronic exchange of documents and signatures.
Section 1.3 Delivery of Court Order. On the Closing Date, in connection with the Closing, Company
shall (i) deliver, or cause to be delivered, the order of the Court sanctioning the Scheme of Arrangement (such order, the “Court Order”) to the Registrar of
Companies in England and Wales and the Scheme of Arrangement shall become effective upon such delivery in accordance with its terms (the date and time of such delivery being the time that the Scheme of Arrangement shall become effective, herein
referred to as the “Effective Time”) and (ii) deliver a copy of the Court Order to Purchaser together with appropriate evidence of the Effective Time.

ARTICLE II
TRANSFER OF SCHEME SHARES
TRANSFER OF SCHEME SHARES
Section 2.1 Transfer of Scheme Shares.
(a) At the Effective Time, the Scheme of Arrangement will become effective, pursuant to which Purchaser (and/or its nominee(s)) will acquire the Scheme Shares
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Depositary Shares) from the Scheme Shareholders in accordance with the provisions of the Scheme of Arrangement, and the Scheme Shareholders shall cease to have any rights with respect to the Scheme
Shares, except their rights, in accordance with the terms of the Scheme of Arrangement, to receive, in exchange for each Scheme Share, the Per Share Consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that, although the holders of
Company ADSs are not Scheme Shareholders by virtue of their holdings of Company ADSs, the Depositary Shares are Scheme Shares subject to the Scheme of Arrangement and accordingly, immediately following the Effective Time and as an indirect
consequence of the Scheme of Arrangement, the holders of Company ADSs shall cease to have any rights with respect to the Company ADSs except for the right to receive (in the case of certificated Company ADSs, in exchange for surrendering each
Company ADS to the Depositary (or the Depositary Custodian)) the Per ADS Consideration, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in the Scheme of Arrangement and in the Deposit Agreement. As soon as reasonably
practicable after the Effective Time, and subject to the stamping of the relevant instrument of transfer, the Register of Members of Company will be updated in accordance with the Scheme of Arrangement to reflect the transfer of the Scheme
Shares, as contemplated hereby and thereby.
(b) Prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall appoint a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to Company (the “Paying Agent”) and enter into a paying agent agreement with the Paying Agent reasonably acceptable to Company. At or prior to the Effective Time, Purchaser shall procure the deposit with the
Paying Agent, for the benefit of the Scheme Shareholders, of cash in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Per Share Cash Consideration. All cash deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall hereinafter be
referred to as the “Company Payment Fund”. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue for the benefit of Scheme Shareholders on the Per Share Consideration.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1(b), all obligations of Purchaser with respect to consideration required to be provided by Purchaser to the Paying Agent in respect of the Depositary Shares shall be satisfied to the
extent Purchaser provides such consideration directly to the Depositary (or, to the extent that the Depositary is not itself the registered holder of the relevant Scheme Shares that underly the Company ADSs, whichever nominee, custodian or other
entity is the Scheme Shareholder in respect of such Scheme Shares (the “Depositary Custodian”)) pursuant to the procedures contemplated by Section
2.1(c).
(c) Prior to the Closing, Company and Purchaser shall establish procedures with the Depositary that are reasonably acceptable to Company and Purchaser to ensure that
(i) the Depositary (or the Depositary Custodian) shall promptly deliver the Per ADS Consideration to each holder of a Company ADS (in the case of certificated Company ADSs, that has duly surrendered Company ADSs to the Depositary (or the
Depositary Custodian)), (ii) any funds unclaimed by holders of Company ADSs shall be treated, as closely as reasonably possible, in the same manner as provided under Section 2.1(d), and (iii) if reasonably practicable, the Per Share Consideration
in respect of the Depositary Shares will be delivered directly by Purchaser to the Depositary (or the Depositary Custodian) rather than through the Paying Agent. If reasonably deemed necessary by the Parties in furtherance of the establishment of
such procedures, Company shall enter into one or more amendments to the Deposit Agreement that are reasonably acceptable to the Depositary, Company and Purchaser, and the Parties shall deliver any certificates and opinions of counsel reasonably
requested by the Depositary in connection therewith. Purchaser will bear the fees, charges and expenses that the Company ADS holders are required to bear under the Deposit Agreement in connection with the Transaction and the other transactions
contemplated hereby, the cancellation of the Company ADSs and the receipt of the Per ADS Consideration, but in no event will be required to bear more than $0.05 per Company ADS pursuant to this sentence. No interest will be paid or accrued on
any amount payable in respect of the Company ADSs.
(d) Any portion of the Company Payment Fund which has not been transferred to the holders of Scheme Shares within twelve months of the Closing Date shall be delivered
to Purchaser or its designee(s) promptly upon demand by Purchaser (it being understood that no such delivery shall affect any legal right that a Scheme Shareholder may have to receive the Per Share Consideration), and thereafter such Scheme
Shareholders shall be entitled to look only to Purchaser for, and Purchaser shall remain liable for, payment of their claims for the Per Share Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.
3
(e) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, none of Purchaser, any member of the Purchaser Group, Company, the Paying Agent, the Depositary (or the
Depositary Custodian) or any other Person acting as agent for, or otherwise at the direction of, any of the foregoing Persons, including any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers or employees, will be liable to Company, Scheme
Shareholders or any other Person in respect of the Per Share Consideration from the Company Payment Fund or any other cash or property delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable
Laws.
Section 2.2 Changes to Company Ordinary Shares. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding
Company Ordinary Shares shall have been changed to, or exchanged for, a different number or class of shares or securities by reason of any share dividend, bonus issue, scrip dividend, subdivision, reorganization, merger, consolidation,
reclassification, redesignation, recapitalization, share split, reverse share split, combination or exchange of shares, or a share or scrip dividend shall be declared with a record date within such period, or any similar event shall have occurred
(or if the number of Company Ordinary Shares represented by each Company ADS shall have been changed pursuant to the Deposit Agreement), then the amount of the Per Share Consideration (and/or the Per ADS Consideration), as applicable, shall be
appropriately adjusted to provide to Purchaser and the Scheme Shareholders the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided that nothing in this Section 2.2 shall
be construed to permit Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by Section 6.1 or the other terms of this Agreement.
(a) Each Company Share Option that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, whether vested or unvested, be deemed to be
fully vested, and, other than the Irish Company Share Options, shall be automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive at the Effective Time (i) a lump sum amount in cash, without interest, equal to the
product of (A) the excess, if any, of (1) the Per Share Cash Consideration (for any Company Share Option exercisable into Company Ordinary Shares) or the Per ADS Cash Consideration (for any Company Share Option exercisable into Company ADSs), as
applicable, over (2) the exercise price of such Company Share Option (expressed on a per share or per Company ADS basis, as applicable), multiplied by (B) the total number of Company Ordinary Shares or Company ADSs, as applicable, subject to such
Company Share Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) for each Company Ordinary Share or Company ADS, as applicable, underlying such Company Share Option, the Per Share CVR Consideration or Per ADS CVR Consideration, as
applicable, in each case less any applicable withholding Taxes required by Applicable Law to be withheld; provided, that, if the per share exercise price of any such Company Share Option (other than the
Specified Company Share Options) that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (expressed on a per share or per Company ADS basis, as applicable) is equal to or greater than the Per Share Cash Consideration or
the Per ADS Cash Consideration, as applicable, such Company Share Option shall, whether vested or unvested, be automatically canceled without any payment being made in respect thereof.
4
(b) Prior to Closing, the Company shall cause each holder of an Irish Company Share Option to exercise, or shall
deem that each such holder of an Irish Company Share Option will exercise, such Irish Company Share Option, effective as of immediately prior to the Scheme Record Time (as such term is defined in the Scheme of Arrangement), and in any case,
conditional upon the sanction of the Court of the Scheme of Arrangement. The Company shall cause each such holder that elects or is deemed to exercise such Irish Company Share Options to (i) execute and deliver (or cause to be delivered, or be
deemed to have delivered) to Company documents in relation to the exercise of such Irish Company Share Options (the “Option Exercise Documents”),
(ii) acknowledge such holder’s obligation to pay to the Company the aggregate exercise price due on the exercise of such Irish Company Share Options prior to Closing and any applicable withholding Taxes required by Applicable Law (if any) and
(iii) become a Scheme Shareholder for all purposes hereunder and under the Scheme of Arrangement. As a consequence thereof, each such holder shall sell the Scheme Shares received as a result of such exercise (and if any Irish Company Share
Options are subject to Company ADSs, shall receive the corresponding number of Company Ordinary Shares at a conversion ratio of one ADS to five Company Ordinary Shares) to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and the Scheme of Arrangement. Each
such holder shall irrevocably and unconditionally authorize and direct Purchaser to retain (or to instruct the Paying Agent to retain) for the benefit of the Company on such holder’s behalf acting as their agent, such amount from the Per Share
Cash Consideration or the Per ADS Cash Consideration, as applicable, payable to such holder as is equal to (x) the aggregate exercise price of such Irish Company Share Options owing from
them to the Company (unless such amount has already been remitted by such holder to, and has been received by, the Company) and (y) any amount equal to the any applicable withholding Taxes required by Applicable Law (if any) in connection with
the exercise of such Irish Company Share Options and/or the issuance of the Scheme Shares in respect thereof, in satisfaction of their obligation to pay the aggregate exercise price and satisfy any such withholding Taxes. The retention of an
amount equal to the aggregate exercise price and any applicable withholding Taxes (if any) for the benefit of the Company on such holder’s behalf pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) shall fully satisfy Purchaser’s obligation to pay such corresponding
amount of the consideration to such holder. As soon as practicable following the Effective Time (but in no event later than five Business Days following the Effective Time), Purchaser shall or shall cause the Paying Agent to pay any net amount of
Per Share Cash Consideration to the holders of the Irish Company Share Options pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement. Effective as of the Scheme Record Time (as such term is defined in the Scheme of Arrangement), any Irish Company Share Options
not exercised prior to, or conditional on, the sanction of the Court of the Scheme of Arrangement shall lapse and cease to be exercisable in accordance with the rules of the relevant Company Equity Plan.
(c) Each Specified Company Share Option that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall, whether vested or unvested, become fully vested, and shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive at the Effective Time, for each Specified Company Share Option, the Per ADS CVR Consideration subject to such
Specified Company Share Option; it being acknowledged and agreed that the CVR Agreement shall provide that for any CVR issued in respect of a Specified Company Share Option, if the applicable milestone is achieved for such CVR, the payment in
respect thereof shall be reduced by the Option Deficit Amount (as defined in the CVR Agreement).
(d) Each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, whether vested or
unvested, become fully vested, and, other than the Irish Company RSUs, shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive at the Effective Time (i) a lump-sum amount in cash, without interest, equal to the
product of (A) the Per Share Cash Consideration (for any Company RSU subject to Company Ordinary Shares) or the Per ADS Cash Consideration (for any Company RSU subject to Company ADSs) and (B) the number of Company Ordinary Shares or Company
ADSs, as applicable, subject to such Company RSU and (ii) the Per Share CVR Consideration per Company Ordinary Share or the Per ADS CVR Consideration per Company ADS, as applicable, subject to such Company RSU, less any applicable withholding
Taxes required by Applicable Law to be withheld. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any payment in respect of any Company RSU which immediately prior to such cancellation was treated as “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of
the Code shall be converted as described above and paid on the applicable settlement date for such Company RSU as required in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code. Each Irish Company RSU that is outstanding
immediately prior to the Scheme Record Time (as such term is defined in the Scheme of Arrangement) shall, conditional upon the sanction of the Court of the Scheme of Arrangement, whether vested or unvested, become fully vested, and the holder
thereof shall receive the corresponding number of Company Ordinary Shares (and if any Irish Company RSUs are subject to Company ADSs, shall receive the corresponding number of Company Ordinary Shares at a conversion ratio of one Company ADS to
five Company Ordinary Shares) subject to such Irish Company RSUs immediately prior to the Scheme Record Time (as such term is defined in the Scheme of Arrangement), which shall be Scheme Shares for all purposes hereunder and under the Scheme of
Arrangement.
5
(e) Each Company PSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, whether vested or
unvested, become vested (with the number of Company PSUs that so vest determined based on the terms of such Company PSU), and, other than the Irish Company PSUs, shall be canceled and converted into the right to
receive (i) a lump-sum amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (A) the Per Share Cash Consideration and (B) the number of Company Ordinary Shares subject to such Company PSU and (ii) the Per Share CVR Consideration per Company
Ordinary Share subject to such Company PSU, less any applicable withholding Taxes required by Applicable Law to be withheld; provided that, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), the number of
Company Ordinary Shares subject to such Company PSU shall be determined based on the greater of target performance and actual performance as determined by the Company Board (or appropriate committee thereof) in its
reasonable discretion as soon as practicable prior to the Closing Date based on the terms of such Company PSU. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any payment in respect of any Company PSU which immediately prior to such cancellation was
treated as “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be converted as described above and paid on the applicable settlement date for such Company PSU as required in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code. Each Irish Company PSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Scheme Record Time (as such term is defined in the Scheme of Arrangement) shall, conditional upon the sanction of the Court to the Scheme of
Arrangement, whether vested or unvested, become vested (with the number of Company PSUs that so vest determined based on the greater of target performance and actual performance as determined by the Company Board (or appropriate committee
thereof) in its reasonable discretion as soon as practicable prior to the Closing Date based on the terms of such Company PSU), and the holder thereof shall receive the corresponding number of Company Ordinary Shares subject to the Irish Company
PSUs, which shall be Scheme Shares for all purposes hereunder and under the Scheme of Arrangement.
(f) As soon as practicable following the Effective Time (but in no event later than five Business Days following the Effective Time),
Purchaser shall, or shall cause Company or the applicable Subsidiary to, satisfy through its payroll systems (to the extent required by Applicable Law, or to the extent not required by Applicable Law (for the avoidance of doubt any payments to
holders of Irish Company Share Options in accordance with Section 2.3(b) are not required by Applicable Law to be subject to withholding, unless there is a change in Applicable Law after the date of this Agreement that requires such withholding),
Purchaser shall cause the Paying Agent to pay to the applicable recipient) all amounts in respect of the Per Share Cash Consideration and Per ADS Cash Consideration, as applicable, payable pursuant to the foregoing in Section 2.3 to the
applicable recipients thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, unless there is a change in Applicable Law after the date of this Agreement that requires such withholding, Applicable Law does not require that any employee employed under the laws of
Ireland be subject to Tax withholding with respect to their Company Share Options or that payments in respect of such Company Share Options be paid via payroll; accordingly, anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the CVR Agreement or the
Scheme of Arrangement notwithstanding, any amounts payable to employees employed under the laws of Ireland in respect of Company Share Options in connection with the Transaction shall be paid through the Paying Agent and shall not be subject to
Tax withholding unless there is a change in Applicable Law after the date of this Agreement that requires such withholding.
(g) Prior to the Effective Time, Company shall deliver written notice to each holder of Company Share Options, Company RSUs and Company PSUs informing such holder of

Closing).
Section 2.6 Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Scheme of Arrangement, at any
time before or after the Effective Time, Purchaser and Company shall each execute any further instruments, deeds, documents, conveyances, assignments or assurances and do all other things reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the

Purchaser) to appear on its behalf at the Court hearing to sanction the Scheme of Arrangement, and undertake to the Court to be bound by the terms of the Scheme of Arrangement insofar as it relates to Purchaser, it being understood, for the
avoidance of doubt, that this shall not oblige Purchaser to waive any of the conditions to Closing or treat them as satisfied;
(b) subject to the terms of this Agreement, afford all such prompt cooperation and assistance and provide all such documentation and information, and procure that each
member of the Purchaser Group affords all such prompt cooperation and assistance and provides all such documentation and information, as may reasonably be requested by Company in respect of the preparation and verification of any document

disclosure (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned);

satisfied or (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) waived (other than (A) those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing (but subject to those conditions being able to be satisfied or having been waived) and (B)
the condition set forth in Section 8.1(b)), use reasonable best efforts to give written notice to Company of such satisfaction and/or waiver by 9.00 a.m. (London Time) on the date of the hearing of the Court to sanction the Scheme of Arrangement;
and
11
(f) to the extent not covered by the foregoing clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 3.2 (which specific clauses shall control over this clause (f)), upon the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, use reasonable best efforts to cooperate in good faith with Company and its Representatives in: (i) preparing the Transaction Documentation and Court Documentation, and (ii) obtaining the
sanction of the Court to the Scheme of Arrangement.
Section 3.3 Mutual Provisions in Relation to the Scheme of Arrangement and the Company Shareholder Meetings.
(a) If Purchaser or Company acting reasonably considers that an amendment should be made to the provisions of the Scheme of Arrangement in order to implement the
Transaction in as efficient manner as practicable, to comply with Applicable Law, or to address any technical or structural defect, it may notify the other Parties and the Parties shall be obliged to consider implementing, acting reasonably and
in good faith, such amendment; provided that no Party shall be required to consider or negotiate any amendment that would (i) prevent, materially delay or materially impede the Closing, (ii) alter or
change the amount or nature of the Per Share Consideration or Per ADS Consideration or (iii) adversely affect it or its shareholders in any material respect.
(b) If, at any time Company or Purchaser discovers that any of the Transaction Documentation contains any misstatement of a material fact or omits to state any
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, the Party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Parties, and, if such discovery is made
prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approvals, and Company, having first consulted with Purchaser and Counsel deems it necessary to do so, shall as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter file with the Court any necessary
amendment of, or supplement to, the Transaction Documentation and, to the extent required by Applicable Law, disseminate the information contained in such amendment or supplement to the Company Shareholders.

in compliance with its terms and all Applicable Laws of each jurisdiction in which such Non-U.S. Plan is maintained; (vi) as of the date of this Agreement, there are no pending investigations by any Governmental Authority involving such Non-U.S.
Plan, and no pending claims (except for claims for benefits payable in the normal operation of such Non-U.S. Plan), or proceedings against such Non-U.S. Plan and (vii) the consummation of the Transaction will not create or otherwise result in any

require the prior written consent of Purchaser under this Section 6.1 to the extent that Company reasonably deems such action to be necessary to prevent the occurrence of, or mitigate the existence of, emergency situations or as may be reasonably
necessary to address (A) significant risks to human health or safety or (B) material damage to the environment, material equipment or other material assets of Company and its Subsidiaries and (ii) Company and its Subsidiaries may take

6.2, Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its directors and executive officers not to, and shall direct its external advisors not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, participate in, knowingly facilitate,

within 10 Business Days after Purchaser so requests in writing (provided that (x) Purchaser may only make such request once per Acquisition Proposal and once if no Acquisition Proposal has been publicly disclosed and (y) Company shall not be
required to do so to the extent it will contravene Applicable Law, including the fiduciary duties of the Company Board) or (viii) resolve or agree to do any of the foregoing (any of the foregoing clauses (iv)-(vii) or clause (viii) (to the extent
relating to clauses (iv)-(vii), a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”)); provided, that,
anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, Company or any of its Representatives may, in response to an Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer or request from a Third Party (1) seek to clarify the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer or request (including by requesting that an oral communication be made in writing), (2) inform such Third Party or its Representative of the restrictions imposed by the provisions of this Section 6.2 or (3) grant waivers, amendments or releases under any standstill restriction in effect on the date
hereof to the extent necessary to allow such Third Party to make a confidential Acquisition Proposal, in the case of this clause (3), if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal
counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law. Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall direct its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives to, (x) promptly
cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Third Party ongoing as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and (y) promptly instruct any such Third Party in possession of confidential
information about Company or any of its Subsidiaries that was furnished by or on behalf of Company in connection with such discussions or negotiations for such Third Parties and its Representatives to return or destroy all such information

(b) The foregoing notwithstanding, if at any time prior to receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval (the “Company Approval Time”), the Company Board receives a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal made after the date of this Agreement that has not resulted from a Willful
Breach of Section 6.2(a), the Company Board, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, may, if the Company Board (or any committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal
counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal is or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, (A) engage in negotiations or
discussions with such Third Party and its Representatives and financing sources and (B) furnish to such Third Party and its Representatives and financing sources information relating to Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to an Acceptable
Confidentiality Agreement; provided, that all such information (to the extent that such information is material and non-public and has not been previously provided or made available to Purchaser) is
provided or made available to Purchaser, as the case may be, substantially concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to such Third Party. An “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement” means a confidentiality agreement (1) that (I) does not contain any provision that would prevent Company from complying with its obligation to provide disclosure to Purchaser
pursuant to this Section 6.2 and (II) contains provisions that, in each case, are not materially less favorable to Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (provided that no such
confidentiality agreement shall be required to contain any standstill or similar provisions) or (2) that is in effect as of the date of this Agreement.
41
(c) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Company shall notify Purchaser as promptly as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than 24 hours) after receipt
by Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of Company, any of its or their external advisors of any bona fide Acquisition Proposal, which notice shall be provided in writing and shall
identify the material terms and conditions of, any such Acquisition Proposal and the Person(s) making such proposal. Company shall thereafter (i) keep Purchaser reasonably informed, on a reasonably current basis, of any material developments or
changes in the status and details (including any changes to the type and amount of consideration) of any such Acquisition Proposal and (ii) as promptly as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than 24 hours after receipt) provide to
Purchaser unredacted copies of any written proposals, indications of interest, draft agreements and other written materials relating to the financial terms or other material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal exchanged between
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives and the Person(s) making such Acquisition Proposal or any of its Affiliates or its or their Representatives.
(d) Anything in this Section 6.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, prior to the Company Approval Time, if the Company Board receives a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal made after the date of this Agreement that has not resulted from a Willful Breach of Section 6.2(a) and the Company Board (or any committee thereof) determines in good faith, after
consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and that the failure to take such action in response to such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its
fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, the Company Board (or any committee thereof) may, subject to compliance with this Section 6.2(d), (i) make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or (ii) terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section
9.1(d)(ii); provided, that (A) Company shall first notify Purchaser in writing at least four Business Days before taking such action that Company intends to take such action, which notice shall include an
unredacted copy of such proposal relating thereto (and, to the extent not in writing, the material terms and conditions thereof and the identity of the Person(s) making any such Acquisition Proposal), (B) Company and its Representatives shall
negotiate in good faith with Purchaser, and its Representatives during such four Business Day notice period, to the extent Purchaser affirmatively seeks to negotiate and make itself reasonably available to negotiate, to enable Purchaser to
propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement, (C) upon the end of such notice period, the Company Board (or any committee thereof) shall have considered in good faith any revisions to the terms of this Agreement committed to in a binding
written proposal by Purchaser and shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Superior Proposal would nevertheless continue to constitute a Superior Proposal if such
revisions proposed by Purchaser were to be given effect and that the failure to take such action in response to such Superior Proposal would continue to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law and (D) in the event of any
change, from time to time, to any of the material financial terms or any other material terms of such Superior Proposal, Company shall, in each case, have delivered to Purchaser an additional notice consistent with that described in clause (A) of
this proviso and a new notice period under clause (A) of this proviso shall commence each time, except each such notice period shall be two Business Days (instead of four Business Days), during which time Company shall be required to comply with
the requirements of this Section 6.2(d) anew with respect to each such additional notice, including clauses (A) through (D) above of this proviso. In no event shall Company’s compliance with its obligations pursuant to this Section 6.2(d)
constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change.
(e) Anything in Section 6.2(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, at any time prior to Company Approval Time, the Company Board (or any committee thereof) may make a
Company Adverse Recommendation Change of the type described in clauses (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii) (to the extent relating to the foregoing clauses (v), (vi) or (vii)) of the definition thereof in response to an Intervening Event if the Company
Board (or any committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel that the failure to make such Company Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties
under Applicable Law; provided, that, prior to taking either such action (i) Company shall first notify Purchaser in writing at least four Business Days before taking such action that Company intends to
take such action, which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of such Intervening Event (including the facts and circumstances providing the basis for the determination by the Company Board (or any committee thereof) to effect
such Company Adverse Recommendation Change), (ii) Company and its Representatives shall negotiate in good faith with Purchaser and its Representatives during such four Business Day period, to the extent Purchaser affirmatively seeks to negotiate
and make itself reasonably available to negotiate, to enable Purchaser to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement, (iii) Company and its Representatives shall provide to Purchaser and its Representatives all applicable information with
respect to such Intervening Event reasonably requested by Purchaser to permit it to propose revisions to the terms of the Agreement, and (iv) upon the end of such notice period, the Company Board (or any committee thereof) shall have considered
in good faith any such revisions to the terms of this Agreement committed to in a binding written proposal by Puxxxxxxx, and shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that the
failure to make such Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening Event would continue to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.
42
(f) Nothing contained in this Section 6.2 shall prevent the Company Board (or any committee thereof) from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company Shareholders a
position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the 1934 Act, (ii) making any required disclosure to the Company Shareholders if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation
with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, (iii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to Company Shareholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f)
promulgated under the 1934 Act, or (iv) making honest and complete disclosure to the Court or SEC at the hearing to sanction the Scheme of Arrangement as required by Applicable Law, and none of the actions in the foregoing clauses (i) through
(iv) shall, in and of itself, constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change.
Section 6.3 Transaction Litigation. Company shall promptly (and in any event, within two Business
Days) notify Purchaser of any shareholder demands or Proceedings (including derivative claims) commenced against Company, its Subsidiaries and/or its or its Subsidiaries’ respective directors or officers relating to this Agreement or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, “Transaction Litigation”) and shall keep Purchaser informed on a reasonably current basis regarding
any Transaction Litigation (including by promptly furnishing to Purchaser and its Representatives such information relating to such Transaction Litigation as may reasonably be requested by Puxxxxxxx xnd that would not reasonably be expected to
result in the waiver of attorney client or other applicable legal privilege); provided, that Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate
substitute disclosure arrangements. Other than to the extent such Transaction Litigation relates to an Acquisition Proposal in respect of which Company determines Company and Purchaser have adverse interests, Company shall give Purchaser the
opportunity to consult with it regarding the defense and settlement of any Transaction Litigation, shall consider in good faith Purchaser’s advice with respect to such Transaction Litigation and shall give Purchaser the opportunity to participate
(at Purchaser’s expense) in (but not control) the defense or settlement of such Transaction Litigation. Prior to the Effective Time, neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall settle or offer to settle any Transaction Litigation without
the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
Section 6.4 Takeover Statutes. Company shall (a) take all action within its control necessary, if any, so that no “moratorium,”
“control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “supermajority,” “affiliate transactions” or “business combination statute or regulation” or other similar anti-takeover laws or regulations, or any similar provision of the Company Organizational
Documents is or becomes applicable to the Transaction or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) if any such anti-takeover law, regulation or provision is or becomes applicable to the Transaction or any other transactions
contemplated hereby, cooperate and grant such approvals and take such actions within its control as are reasonably necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated
hereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the transactions contemplated hereby. Company shall not take (or omit to take) any action which would reasonably be expected to result in (i) the
United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers applying to Company, the Transaction or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) the Transaction or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement becoming subject to
the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom Panel on Takeovers and Mergers.

and records all other information concerning its businesses, properties and personnel (other than any of the foregoing to the extent specifically related to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, or, except as expressly provided in
Section 6.2, to any Acquisition Proposal), in each case, as any member of the Purchaser Group or its relevant Representatives (as applicable) reasonably requests solely to the extent such request (i) is made in furtherance of the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) relates to Company’s communications with, or inquiries from, Company Regulatory Agencies, in each case in a manner so as to not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of Company or
any of its Subsidiaries. During such period described in the immediately preceding sentence, on reasonable notice and subject to Applicable Law and during normal business hours, Company shall instruct its pertinent Representatives to reasonably
cooperate with the Purchaser Group in their review of any such information provided or made available pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.
(b) Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding:
(i) Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to provide such access or disclosure of information if it (A) would, as reasonably determined based on the
advice of outside counsel, jeopardize any attorney-client, attorney-work product or other similar privilege with respect to such information, (B) would contravene any Applicable Law or confidentiality agreement with a third party entered into
prior to the date hereof or after the date hereof in the ordinary course of business, (C) would result in the disclosure of any valuations of Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other strategic
alternatives or (D) would be for the purpose of disclosure of such information in any Proceeding between the Parties; provided, that, in the case of clauses (A) through (C), Company shall, and shall cause
its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements;
(ii) any physical access to the properties, offices, personnel or other information of Company and its Subsidiaries shall be subject to Company’s reasonable security
measures and insurance requirements and may be limited to the extent Company in good faith determines, in light of COVID-19 or any COVID-19 Measures, that such access would reasonably be expected to jeopardize the health or safety of any employee
of Company or its Subsidiaries (provided, that Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such access as can be provided (or otherwise convey such
information regarding the applicable matter as can be conveyed) in a manner without jeopardizing the health and safety of such employees or violating such COVID-19 Measures);
(iii) Purchaser shall not use any information obtained pursuant to this Section 6.5 for any purpose unrelated to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and the CVR Agreement; and
(iv) nothing in this Section 6.5 shall be construed to require Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Representatives to prepare any financial statements,
projections, reports, analyses, appraisals or opinions that are not readily available or permit any invasive testing.
(c) All information furnished pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement.

Indenture, in each case, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The foregoing notwithstanding, nothing in this Section 6.6 shall require Company to (A) pay any fees,
incur or reimburse any costs or expenses, or make any payment in connection with the Indenture prior to the occurrence of the Effective Time (other than to the extent expressly required under the Indenture), (B) enter into or effect any
settlement, termination, instrument or agreement, or agree to any settlement, termination or any other change or modification to any instrument or agreement, in each case with respect to the Indenture, that is effective prior to the occurrence of

paying or causing to be paid any amounts payable thereunder, (2) Purchaser and Company shall, and shall cause their applicable Subsidiaries, to calculate the Share Price (as defined in the Indenture) with regard to the Transaction by reference to

settle such conversion solely in Company Ordinary Shares using Physical Settlement (as defined in the Indenture) (it being understood that, as a consequence thereof, such holder shall be entitled to receive the applicable Per Share Consideration
under the articles of association of Company, as amended by the Company Shareholder Resolution, in lieu of receiving such Company Ordinary Shares). Purchaser and Company agree not to, and to cause their applicable
Subsidiaries not to, exercise any rights under Section 4.03(B) of the Indenture to redeem or cause the redemption of all or any portion of the convertible notes issued pursuant to the Indenture prior to the earliest to occur of (1) the end of
the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Period (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to the Transaction and (2) the End Date.
(b) Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Purchaser customary payoff letters and lien termination documentation in respect of the Company

information is readily available to Company, (iii) provide any guarantees or grant any security interests on any of their equity interests or assets prior to the Effective Time, (iv) take any action that would reasonably be expected to give rise
to a breach of any representation and warranty or covenant in this Agreement or failure of any closing condition set forth in Article VIII to be satisfied, (v) incur any expense or liability that is not promptly reimbursed by Purchaser upon
written demand by Company and (vi) adopt resolutions or consents, or deliver any opinion of legal counsel, relating to the Debt Financing prior to the Effective Time.

Confidentiality Agreement, except that Purchaser shall be permitted to disclose such information as applicable to any number of Financing Parties as would be reasonable and customary in connection with the Debt Financing; provided, that all confidential information shared with Financing Parties shall be kept confidential and otherwise treated in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold
harmless Company and its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, reasonable out-of-pocket costs, reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines,
penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of any thereof), including any VAT (but only to the extent that such VAT is not recoverable by the
indemnified party or by an Affiliate of such party), suffered or incurred in connection with any action taken by Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective Representatives pursuant to this Section 6.7 (other than the use
of any information provided by Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective Representatives in writing for use in connection with the Debt Financing) whether or not the Transaction is consummated or this Agreement is
terminated, except in the event such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, reasonable out-of-pocket costs, reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments
and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of any thereof) and such VAT arise out of or result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Company or its Subsidiaries in fulfilling their obligations pursuant to this
Section 6.7.
(c) Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, the condition set forth in Section 8.2(a), as it applies to the obligations of Company under this
Section 6.7, will be deemed to be satisfied unless the Debt Financing is not obtained and Company’s Willful Breach, if any, of its obligations under this Section 6.7 was the primary cause of the failure of the Debt Financing to be obtained.

Section 7.2 Employee Matters.
(a) From the Closing Date through the 12 month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Benefits Continuation Period”), Purchaser shall provide, or shall cause a Purchaser Subsidiary or Company to provide, to each individual who is employed by Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the
Effective Time, while such individual continues to be employed by Company, Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Subsidiaries (including Subsidiaries of Company) during the Benefits Continuation Period (collectively, the “Affected Employees”) (i) an annual base salary or wage rate that is not less than the annual base salary or wage rate provided to such Affected Employee immediately prior to the Effective
Time, (ii) short-term and long-term incentive compensation opportunities (including the value of equity or equity-based incentives, which value may be provided in the form of non-equity based incentives, but excluding any change in control,
retention, sale bonus or other special or non-recurring plans, programs and arrangements) and other employee benefits (excluding any equity or equity-based compensation, change in control, retention, sale bonus or any special or non-recurring
plans, programs and arrangements and any retiree or post-termination health or welfare benefits or defined benefit pension benefits) that are, in each case, substantially comparable in the aggregate to such incentive compensation opportunities
and such employee benefits that were provided to such Affected Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, which obligation may be satisfied with respect to any particular compensation or benefit through the maintenance of the Company
Employee Plan that provides such compensation or benefits (e.g., commission plans). During the Benefits Continuation Period, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries or Company to, provide severance benefits to any Affected Employee that
are no less favorable than the severance benefits provided to similarly-situated employees of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries.
(b) Purchaser shall, or shall cause a Purchaser Subsidiary or Company to, pay, in accordance with the terms of any Company Employee Plan
or the relevant contract of employment, to each Affected Employee who participates in an annual incentive plan or similar incentive plan in respect of fiscal year in which the Closing occurs a cash bonus in respect of such fiscal year based on
actual performance, prorated based on the number of calendar days elapsed during such fiscal year through the Closing Date, payable at the time such bonus would otherwise have been paid (or, if earlier, upon such service provider’s termination
from service).
49
(c) With respect to any employee benefit plan in which any Affected Employee first becomes eligible to participate on or after the Effective Time (the “New Company Plans”), Purchaser shall provide, or shall cause a Purchaser Subsidiary or Company to use its commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) waive all
pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such Affected Employee under any New Company Plan that is a health or welfare plan in which such Affected Employee may
be eligible to participate after the Effective Time to the extent satisfied or waived under a comparable Company Employee Plan, (ii) recognize service of Affected Employees (to the extent credited by Company or its Subsidiaries in any comparable
Company Employee Plan) accrued prior to the Effective Time for all purposes under (but not for the purposes of benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan) any New Company Plan in which such Affected Employees may be eligible to
participate after the Effective Time, provided, however, that in no event shall any credit be given to the extent it would result in the duplication of benefits for the same period of service, and (iii) if applicable, cause to be credited, in any
New Company Plan that is a health or welfare plan in which Affected Employees participate, any deductibles or out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Affected Employee and such Affected Employee’s beneficiaries and dependents during the portion
of the calendar year in which such Affected Employee first becomes eligible for the New Company Plan that occurs prior to such Affected Employee’s commencement of participation in such New Company Plan with the objective that there be no double
counting during the first year of eligibility of such deductibles or out-of-pocket expenses. To the extent applicable, upon any transition to New Company Plans or any employee benefit plans of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates that provide for
severance benefits that are based on service credit, Affected Employees shall be credited with service accrued prior to the Effective Time for all relevant purposes under such plan(s).
(d) Nothing contained in this Section 7.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement, express or implied (i) shall cause either Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or Company, to

Employee Plan, any employee benefit plan of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any other employee benefit plan, program or policy in effect from time to time, (iii) shall be construed as an amendment of any Company Employee Plan, any employee
benefit plan of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any other employee benefit plan, program or policy in effect from time to time, (iv) shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any director, officer, employee or individual Person,
including any present or former employee, officer, director or individual independent contractor of Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including any beneficiary or dependent of such individual) or (v) shall prejudice or limit the operation of
any Applicable Laws or contractual obligations in relation to the terms and conditions of employment of the Affected Employees.
Section 7.3 Public Announcements. The initial press release concerning this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby
shall be a joint press release to be in the form agreed on by Company and Purchaser prior to the execution of this Agreement. Following such initial press release, Purchaser and Company shall consult with each other before issuing any additional
press release, making any other public statement or scheduling any press conference, conference call or meeting with investors or analysts with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and, except as may be required by
Applicable Law or any listing agreement with or rule of any national securities exchange or association, shall not issue any such press release, make any such other public statement or schedule any such press conference, conference call or
meeting before such consultation (and, to the extent applicable, shall provide copies of any such press release, statement or agreement to the other Party and shall consider in good faith the comments of the other Party); provided, that the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.3 shall not apply to any release or public statement (a) in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and
matters related thereto, (b) in connection with any dispute between the Parties regarding this Agreement, the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated hereby or (c) to the extent the information contained therein substantially

50
Section 7.4 Director and Officer Liability.
(a) Purchaser agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law, all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses for acts or
omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, existing as at the date of this Agreement in favor of the current or former directors and officers of Company or its
Subsidiaries as provided in their respective articles of association or other organizational documents or in any agreement or deed of indemnity shall survive the Transaction and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their
terms. For a period of six years from the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law, Purchaser shall cause Company and its Subsidiaries to maintain in effect any and all exculpation, indemnification and advancement of
expenses provisions of the articles of association or similar organizational documents of Company and its Subsidiaries in effect as at the date of this Agreement or in any indemnification agreements of Company or its Subsidiaries with any of
their respective current or former directors or officers in effect as at the date of this Agreement, and to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law shall not permit Company or any of its Subsidiaries to amend, repeal or otherwise modify
any such provisions or any such indemnification agreements or the exculpation, indemnification or advancement of expenses provisions of the organizational documents of Company or its Subsidiaries in any manner that would adversely affect the
rights thereunder of any individuals who immediately before the Effective Time were current or former directors or officers of Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement
of expenses in respect of any Proceeding pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Proceeding or resolution of such claim. Following the Closing Purchaser shall cause Company to comply
with the terms of this Section 7.4(a).
(b) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless (and advance funds in respect of each of the foregoing) each current or former director or
officer of Company or any of its Subsidiaries or each person who has served as a manager, director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or
enterprise if such service was at the request or for the benefit of Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, together with such person’s heirs, executors or administrators, an “Indemnified Party”), in each case to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law against any costs or expenses (including advancing attorneys’ fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any claim,
suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking consistent with Applicable Law and
the Company Organizational Documents, as applicable, to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined by a court that such person is not entitled to indemnification), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in
settlement (including, in each case, any VAT, but only to the extent that such VAT is not recoverable) in connection with any actual or threatened Proceeding, arising out of, relating to or in connection with any action or omission by them in
their capacities as such occurring or alleged to have occurred at or before the Effective Time (including acts or omissions in connection with (x) such Indemnified Party serving as an officer, director, employee or other fiduciary of any entity
if such service was at the request or for the benefit of Company or (y) any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).
(c) Company shall, prior to the Effective Time, purchase a six-year prepaid “tail policy” providing insurance coverage, benefits and terms
no less favorable to the Indemnified Parties than the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance with respect to acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred prior to the
Effective Time; provided that in no event shall the cost of such policy exceed 300% of the last annual premium paid by Company prior to the date hereof in respect of its directors and officers insurance policy (the “Maximum Amount”) (it being understood and agreed that Company shall, if the quoted premium for the “tail policy” exceeds the Maximum Amount, purchase as much coverage as reasonably
practicable for the Maximum Amount).
51
(d) In the event that after the Effective Time (i) Purchaser, Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (A) consolidates with or merges into any other
Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (B) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, or (ii) Purchaser or any of their respective
successors or assigns dissolves Company, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Purchaser or Company, as applicable, shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section
7.4.
(e) The obligations of Purchaser under this Section 7.4 shall not be terminated, amended or modified in any manner so as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party
(including their successors, heirs and legal representatives) to whom this Section 7.4 applies without the consent of such Indemnified Party. It is expressly agreed that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement that may be to the
contrary, (i) the Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 7.4 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 7.4, and (ii) this Section 7.4 shall survive consummation of the Transaction and shall be enforceable by such Indemnified
Parties and their respective successors, heirs and legal representatives against Purchaser and its successors and assigns.
Section 7.5 Notices of Certain Events. Company shall give prompt notice to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall give prompt notice to
Company, (i) of any notice or other communication received by such Party from any Governmental Authority or from any other Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transaction, the Scheme of
Arrangement or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, if the failure of such Party to obtain such consent would reasonably expected to be material to Company or Purchaser, (ii) of any legal Proceeding commenced or, to any Party’s
knowledge, threatened against, such Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Transaction, the Scheme of Arrangement, the CVR Agreement or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (iii) the occurrence or existence of
any fact, event or circumstance that is reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII not being able to be satisfied prior to the End Date; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall not cure any breach of any representation or warranty requiring disclosure of such matter in the Company Disclosure Schedule or
Purchaser Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to any Party. The failure to deliver any such notice shall not affect any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII or give rise to any
right to terminate under Article IX.
Section 7.6 Stock Exchange Delisting. Each of Company and Purchaser agrees to cooperate with the other Party in taking, or
causing to be taken, all actions necessary to delist each Company ADS from the Nasdaq and terminate its registration under the 1934 Act; provided, that such delisting and termination shall not be
effective until the Effective Time.
Section 7.7 Switching. Purchaser may not elect to implement the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Company as
contemplated by this Agreement by means of a takeover offer within the meaning of Section 974 of the Companies Act at any time without Company’s prior written consent.
Section 7.8 Tax Matters.
(a) Company and Purchaser shall (and shall, in the case of Company, procure that each of its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives shall and, in the case of
Purchaser, procure that any other member of the Purchaser Group and its and their respective Representatives shall) provide such assistance and information as such other Party may reasonably request in connection with any matters relating to Tax
in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including in respect of any Tax rulings, clearances or consents that any such Party may consider necessary or desirable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement (including in connection with any UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax). Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties, Purchaser shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof and in any event prior to the Closing,
obtain confirmation from His Majesty’s Revenue & Customs that the Court Order shall not be subject to United Kingdom stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax on the basis that the Court Order will not be the principal instrument of transfer (and
in connection therewith, will provide an undertaking to His Majesty’s Revenue & Customs that Purchaser will pay all applicable UK stamp duty on the relevant instrument of transfer).
52
(b) Except to the extent any portion of the Per Share CVR Consideration is required to be treated as imputed interest pursuant to Applicable Law, the Parties intend,
for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes to treat (i) any payments made with respect to the CVRs issued in exchange for the Scheme Shares or the Company ADSs (as applicable) pursuant to this Agreement as additional
consideration for such Scheme Shares or Company ADSs and (ii) each of Milestone 1 and Milestone 2 (each, as defined in the CVR Agreement) as covered by separate CVRs. Company and Purchaser shall report imputed interest on the CVRs as required by
Applicable Law. The Parties further agree, for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, and otherwise to the extent consistent with Applicable Law, to treat the payments with respect to the CVRs received with respect to
the Company Share Options, the Company RSUs and Company PSUs as compensation payments (subject to withholding Taxes to the extent required by Applicable Law) in the year in which the payment is made (and not to treat the receipt of any such CVR
as a payment itself). None of the Parties will take any position contrary to this Section 7.8(b) on any Tax Return or for other Tax purposes except as required by Applicable Law.
(c) Except to the extent otherwise specified, and in particular except in connection with the Termination Fee (in respect of which the provisions of Sections
9.3(e)-(f) shall apply exclusively in relation to all matters relevant to VAT, and this Section 7.8(c) shall not apply), all sums payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be exclusive of any VAT.
(d) To the extent requested by Company prior to the Effective Time, Purchaser and Company shall engage in good faith discussions to mutually agree on amendments to the
form of CVR Agreement in the manner provided in Section 7.8(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

Section 9.1(d)(i) if Company is then in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach by Company would cause any condition set forth in Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b) not to
be satisfied; or
(ii) prior to the Company Approval Time, if (A) the Company Board (or any committee thereof) shall have authorized the termination of this Agreement in accordance in
all material respects with the terms set forth in Section 6.2(d) in order to enter into a definitive agreement providing for a Superior Proposal and (B) substantially concurrently with such termination, Company enters into such definitive
agreement; provided that, at or prior to, and as a condition to the effectiveness of, such termination, Company pays (or causes to be paid) Purchaser the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 9.3(a).
Section 9.2 Notice and Effect of Termination. The Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 (other
than pursuant to Section 9.1(a)) shall give written notice of such termination to the other Parties, which notice shall specify the relevant section and subsection of this Agreement pursuant to which such termination is made. If this Agreement is
validly terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect without liability of any Party (or any of its Affiliates or its or their respective shareholders or Representatives) to the other Parties, except as
provided in Section 9.3; provided, that, subject to Section 9.3(c), neither Purchaser nor Company shall be released from any liabilities or damages arising out of any Fraud by such Party or a Willful
Breach of this Agreement by such Party. The provisions of Section 4.30, Section 5.10, Section 6.6(a), Section 6.7(b), Section 7.4, this Section 9.2, Section 9.3, Article X (other than Section 10.12, except to the extent that Section 10.12 relates
to the specific performance of the provisions of this Agreement that survive termination) and Annex A (to the extent related to the foregoing) shall survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1. In addition, the termination
of this Agreement shall not affect the respective obligations of Company and Purchaser under the Confidentiality Agreement.
Section 9.3 Termination Payment; Expense Reimbursement.
(a) (i) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to (A) Section 9.1(c)(i) (Company Adverse Recommendation Change) or
(B) Section 9.1(d)(ii) (Superior Proposal), or
(ii) if this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser or Company pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(iii) (No Company Shareholder Approval) or by
Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(ii) (Material Breach); provided, that in the case of this clause (ii), (A) a bona fide Acquisition Proposal from a Third
Party shall have been publicly announced or made publicly known after the date of this Agreement and shall not have been publicly withdrawn without qualification at least five Business Days prior to the Company GM and the Scheme Meeting and (B)
within 12 months of the date this Agreement is so terminated, (1) Company enters into a definitive agreement providing for an Acquisition Proposal with a Third Party (which transaction is ultimately consummated, regardless of whether such
consummation is within such 12 month period), or (2) a transaction representing an Acquisition Proposal with a Third Party is consummated; provided, that for purposes of this Section 9.3(a)(ii), all
references to “20%” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50%”,
then, in either the case of clause (i) or clause (ii) of this Section 9.3(a), Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Purchaser, in cash, a payment in an amount equal to $14,000,000 (the “Termination Fee”) (x) in the case of Section 9.3(a)(i), substantially concurrently with the termination of this Agreement in the case of a termination by
Company or as promptly as practicable (and, in any event, within two Business Days following such termination) in the case of a termination by Purchaser and (y) in the case of Section 9.3(a)(ii), at or prior to the consummation of the transaction
representing an Acquisition Proposal referred to therein.
56
(b) Any payment of the Termination Fee shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (in U.S. dollars) to an account designated in writing by
Purchaser.
(c) The parties agree and understand that in no event shall Company be required to pay the Termination Fee or the Company Expense Reimbursement on more than one
occasion. The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 9.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement and that any amounts
payable pursuant to this Section 9.3 do not constitute a penalty and that Company will not be entitled to argue that the Termination Fee is unenforceable or should be reduced in any manner. Accordingly, if Company fails to promptly pay any
Termination Fee due pursuant to this Section 9.3, Company shall also pay any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses) incurred by Purchaser in
connection with a legal action to enforce this Agreement that results in a judgment for such amount against Company. Any Termination Fee not paid when due pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall bear interest from the date such amount is due until the
date paid at an annual rate equal to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition in effect on the date of such payment. Other than in the case of Fraud, the amounts payable by
Company pursuant to Section 9.3(a), together with any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 9.3(c), Section 9.3(e) or Section 9.3(g), shall constitute liquidated damages and shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of Purchaser and its
Affiliates and their respective Representatives, in the event of a termination of this Agreement in connection with which the Termination Fee or a Company Expense Reimbursement is payable by Company pursuant to Section 9.3(a) or Section 9.3(g),
as applicable, and the Termination Fee or Company Expense Reimbursement, as applicable, and any such additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 9.3(c) and Section 9.3(e) are actually paid to Purchaser, for any and all losses and damages
suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated or for any breaches or failures to perform by Company of its covenants and agreements hereunder.
(d) The Parties intend that any payment of any Termination Fee, being compensatory in nature, shall not be treated (in whole or in part) as
consideration for a supply for the purposes of VAT and, accordingly, the Parties shall, and shall procure that the representative member of any VAT group of which it is a member shall, use reasonable best efforts to secure that the Termination
Fee will not be subject to any VAT.
(e) If a Taxing Authority (or, following an appeal to a court or tribunal, such court or tribunal) finally determines that any payment of the
Termination Fee constitutes all or part of the consideration for a supply made for VAT purposes in respect of which either (A) Purchaser (or the representative member of the VAT group of which it is a member) is liable to account for VAT or (B)
Company (or the representative member of the VAT group of which it is a member) is liable to account for VAT under the reverse charge mechanism, then:
(i) in the case of Section 9.3(e)(A), to the extent that such VAT is recoverable by Company (or the representative member of the VAT group of
which it is a member) by way of repayment or credit as input tax, the amount of the sum payable by Company pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall be increased to such amount so that the amount of the sum (including any amount in respect of VAT), less
the amount of such repayment or credit in respect of input tax, equals the amount of the sum had no such VAT arisen; and
(ii) in the case of Section 9.3(e)(B), to the extent that any VAT chargeable on the supply is not recoverable by Company (or the
representative member of the VAT group of which it is a member) by way of repayment or credit as input tax, the amount of the sum payable by Company to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall be reduced to such amount so that the aggregate
of the sum (as so reduced) and such irrecoverable reverse charge VAT equals the amount of the sum had no such irrecoverable reverse charge VAT arisen.
57
(f) Any adjusting payment as may be required between the Parties to give effect to Section 9.3(e) shall be made fifteen Business Days after the
date on which the determination by the Taxing Authority (or court or tribunal, following an appeal) has been communicated to the relevant Party (together with such other evidence as it is reasonable in the circumstances to provide and the
provision of a valid VAT invoice where appropriate) or, if later, five Business Days (y) in the case of Section 9.3(e)(A) (where relevant VAT is recoverable by Company) after the date on which such VAT is so recovered or (z) in the case of
Section 9.3(e)(B) before the date on which the irrecoverable VAT is required to be accounted for by Company. Company shall (or shall procure that the representative member of the VAT group of which it is a member shall) use its reasonable best
efforts to obtain any available repayment or credit in respect of VAT (as referred to in this Section 9.3).
(g) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(ii) (Material Breach), then Company shall pay (or
cause to be paid) to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds (in U.S. dollars) to an account designated in writing by Purchaser an amount equal to all of the reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by
Purchaser in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction (including in each case any VAT on such expenses, but only to the extent such VAT is not recoverable) (such amount, the “Company Expense Reimbursement”) up to a maximum amount of $10,000,000. Purchaser shall send Company a written notice within two Business Days of such termination specifying the amount of the Company Expense
Reimbursement calculated in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, including reasonable supporting detail therefor. Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Purchaser the Company Expense Reimbursement within two Business Days of
Purchaser duly delivering such notice in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. To the extent the Company Expense Reimbursement is paid by Company to Purchaser, such amount paid shall be deducted from the amount of any Termination
Fee owed or payable.
(h) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Company pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(i) (Material Breach), then Purchaser shall pay (or
cause to be paid) to Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds (in U.S. dollars) to an account designated in writing by Company an amount equal to all of the reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by
Company in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction (including in each case any VAT on such expenses, but only to the extent such VAT is not recoverable) (such amount, the “Purchaser Expense Reimbursement”) up to a maximum amount of $10,000,000 (it being understood that any amounts otherwise reimbursable by Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.7(b) shall not count towards such
limitation). Company shall send Purchaser a written notice within two Business Days of such termination specifying the amount of the Purchaser Expense Reimbursement calculated in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, including
reasonable supporting detail therefor. Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to Company the Purchaser Expense Reimbursement within two Business Days of Company duly delivering such notice in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.
To the extent the Purchaser Expense Reimbursement is paid by Purchaser to Company, such amount shall be deducted from the amount of any damages awarded to Company by any court of competent jurisdiction; provided,
that the payment of the Purchaser Expense Reimbursement shall not limit Company’s ability to seek damages from Purchaser pursuant to the first sentence of Section 9.2.

Section 10.3 Amendments and Waivers.
(a) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment,
by each party to this Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided, that after the Company Shareholder Approvals have been obtained,

(b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial

doubt, in connection with the Court Order and any instrument of transfer executed in connection with or pursuant to the Court Order (“Transfer Taxes”)
shall be borne by Purchaser, and Purchaser shall, at its own expense, pay such Transfer Taxes and file all necessary documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes as soon as reasonably practicable.
Section 10.5 Third-Party Beneficiaries; Benefit; Assignment.
(a) Except as provided in this Section 10.5(a) or in Section 7.4 (and, following the Effective Time, the right of Company Shareholders and holders of Company
Share Options, Company RSUs or Company PSUs to receive the applicable amounts payable to them under Article II, which such Persons shall be specifically permitted to enforce), nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to

any Company Shareholder) may seek damages on behalf of the Company Shareholders, which may include damages based on a decrease in share or Company ADS value or lost premium to the extent that recovery of damages is otherwise permitted by
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of the convertible notes issued pursuant to the Indenture shall be express third-party beneficiaries of, and specifically permitted to enforce, the provisions of Section 6.6(a) (other

Section 10.8 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTION OR THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED,
EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER
VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.8.
Section 10.9 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, including by
facsimile, by email with .pdf attachments, or by other electronic signatures (including, DocuSign and AdobeSign), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same
instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each Party shall have received a counterpart hereof signed and delivered (by electronic communication, facsimile or otherwise) by all of the other Parties. Until and unless each Party
has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Parties, this Agreement shall have no effect, and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).
61
Section 10.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Support Agreements, the CVR Agreement and the Confidentiality
Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter
thereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Exclusivity Agreement, which will terminate pursuant to its terms).
Section 10.11 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be
affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in
good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the
fullest extent possible.
Section 10.12 Specific Performance. The Parties’ rights in this Section 10.12 are an integral part of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable harm would occur and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at law (a) for any breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (b) in the
event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened
breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement (this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement or under Applicable Law), without proof of actual
damages, and each Party further agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. The Parties agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid,
contrary to Applicable Law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the Parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. Nothing contained in this Section
10.12 shall require any Party to institute any Proceeding for (or limit any Party’s right to institute any Proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 10.12 before exercising any termination right under Section 9.1 (or pursuing
the Termination Fee or damages), nor shall the commencement of any Proceeding pursuant to this Section 10.12 or anything contained in this Section 10.12 restrict or limit any Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the
terms of Section 9.1 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter. In the event that, prior to the End Date, any Party brings an action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and
provisions hereof by any other Party, the End Date shall automatically be extended by such other time period established by the court presiding over such action.
62

Purchaser Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, that such items are material to Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or Purchaser and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as the case may be, or that such items have resulted in a
Material Adverse Effect or a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect. The headings, if any, of the individual sections of each of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule and the Company Disclosure Schedule are inserted for convenience only and shall
not be deemed to constitute a part thereof or a part of this Agreement. The Company Disclosure Schedule and Purchaser Disclosure Schedule are arranged in sections corresponding to the Sections of this Agreement merely for convenience, and
the disclosure of an item in one section of the Company Disclosure Schedule or Purchaser Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, as an exception to a particular representation or warranty, shall be deemed adequately disclosed as an exception
with respect to all other representations or warranties to the extent that the relevance of such item to such representations or warranties is reasonably apparent on its face, notwithstanding the presence or absence of an appropriate
section of the Company Disclosure Schedule or Purchaser Disclosure Schedule with respect to such other representations or warranties or an appropriate cross reference thereto.

5.3 All cash deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to paragraph 5.2 for the benefit of Scheme Shareholders (other than

the CVR Consideration) will also form part of the Exchange Fund.

5.8 All cheques delivered by the Paying Agent pursuant to this Scheme shall be in U.S. dollars and drawn on
a United States of America clearing bank and shall be made payable to the person to whom, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 5, the cheque is sent (save that, in the case of joint holders, Purchaser and
the Paying Agent reserve the right to make the cheque payable to the holder whose name stands first in the register of Members of the Company), and the encashment of any such cheque shall be a complete
discharge of Purchaser’s obligations under this Scheme to pay (or procure the payment of) the monies represented thereby. In respect of any payments to Scheme Shareholders by bank transfer, Purchaser shall transfer, or procure the
transfer of, the relevant sums in U.S. dollars to such bank account as may be (or have been) nominated by the relevant Scheme Shareholder, and such transfer shall be a complete discharge of Purchaser’s obligations under this
Scheme to pay (or procure the payment of) such monies. The creation of an appropriate assured payment obligation as set out in paragraph 5.4.2 shall be a complete discharge of Purchaser’s obligations under this Scheme with
reference to cash payments through CREST.
5.9 Any portion of the Exchange Fund which has not been transferred to the Scheme Shareholder to which it is due within twelve months of the Effective
Date shall be delivered to Purchaser or its designee(s) promptly upon demand by Purchaser (it being understood that no such delivery shall affect any legal right that a Scheme Shareholder may have to receive the Transaction
Deliverables), and thereafter such Scheme Shareholders shall be entitled to look only to Purchaser for, and Purchaser shall remain liable for, delivery of any outstanding Transaction Deliverables.

shall inform Purchaser of in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Effective Date. Such transfer shall be a complete discharge of Purchaser’s obligations under this Scheme to pay (or procure the payment of) such monies.
Neither Purchaser nor any member of Purchaser’s Group nor the Paying Agent nor the Company shall have any responsibility or liability under this Scheme for the onward distribution or transmission to the holders of Company ADSs, or
to any other person, of the Transaction Deliverables due to the Depositary Shareholder (it being understood that this sentence does not affect the Company’s obligations under the Deposit Agreement).
6.5 [In respect of the CVR Consideration to be delivered to the Depositary Shareholder, Purchaser shall issue or procure the issue of such CVRs to the
Depositary Shareholder on the Effective Date. In accordance with the Deposit Agreement and the terms of the CVR Agreement, the Depositary will distribute the CVRs pro rata to the holders of
record of the Company ADSs as of the close of trading on the Business Day immediately prior to the Effective Date (the “Eligible Company ADS Holders”) as soon as reasonably
practicable thereafter. Purchaser shall procure that the Rights Agent shall update the CVR Register to reflect the issue of the relevant CVRs to the Depositary and their distribution by the Depositary to the Eligible Company ADS
Holders.5]

Withholding rights and overseas shareholders

7.1 The provisions of paragraphs [2, 3, 4, 5 and 6] shall be subject to any prohibition or condition imposed by Applicable Law. Without prejudice to the
generality of the foregoing:
7.1.1 the provisions of Section 2.4 of the Transaction Agreement (Withholding Rights) shall apply in respect of the payment of the Cash Consideration
and the delivery of the CVR Consideration to Scheme Shareholders; and
7.1.2 if, in respect of any Scheme Shareholder with a registered address in a jurisdiction outside [the United Kingdom or the United States]6,
Purchaser, any member of the Purchaser Group or the Paying Agent is advised that the delivery of the CVR Consideration pursuant to paragraph[s] [5 and 6] would or might infringe the laws of such jurisdiction or would require
Purchaser, any member of the Purchaser Group, the Paying Agent or the Company to observe any governmental or other consent or any registration, filing or other formality with which Purchaser, any member of Purchaser Group, the
Paying Agent or the Company (as the case may be) is unable to comply, or compliance with which by such person is regarded by such person or by Purchaser (in the case of Purchaser, acting reasonably) as unduly onerous:
7.1.2.1 such holders of Scheme Shares shall not have any entitlements to CVR Consideration under the Scheme; and
7.1.2.2 in lieu of the entitlement to CVR Consideration under the Scheme under paragraph 7.1.2.1, Purchaser will pay to such Scheme Shareholder an
amount per Scheme Share that is equal to the amount per Scheme Share paid to Scheme Shareholders that hold CVR Consideration pursuant to the terms of the CVRs and on the same date as such payment is made to Scheme Shareholders that
hold the CVR Consideration.

Cessation of rights
|
With effect from and on the Effective Time, the Scheme Shareholders shall in accordance with this Scheme cease to have any rights with respect to the Scheme Shares, except the right

All mandates relating to the payment of dividends on any Scheme Shares and other instructions (including communications preferences) given to the Company by Scheme Shareholders in
force at the Scheme Record Time relating to Scheme Shares shall, as from the Effective Date, cease to be valid.

Effective Time
|
10.1 This Scheme shall become effective as soon as a copy of the Court Order shall have been delivered to the Registrar of
Companies in England and Wales for registration.
10.2 Unless this Scheme shall have become effective on or before the End Date (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) or such later date as the Company
and Purchaser may agree and the Court may allow, this Scheme shall never become effective.
11.

Modification
|
The Company and Purchaser may jointly consent on behalf of all persons concerned to any modification of or addition to this Scheme or to any condition which the Court may think fit
to approve or impose. For the avoidance of doubt, no modification of the Scheme shall be made once the Scheme has taken effect.
12.
|
Governing law
|
This Scheme, and all rights and obligations arising out of or in connection with it, are governed by the laws of England and Wales and are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.
6 Note: as a minimum we would expect the position to be clarified for Ireland and Portugal too ahead of sending the document out to shareholders.

|
“[180] Scheme of Arrangement
(i) In this article, references to the “Scheme” are to the Scheme of Arrangement under Part 26 of the Act between the Company and
the holders of Scheme Shares dated [●] 2023 in its original form or with or subject to any modification, addition or condition as may be agreed between the Company and [Purchaser] (the “Purchaser”) and which (if required) is approved by the Court, or which is otherwise imposed by the Court and is mutually acceptable to the Company and the Purchaser each
acting reasonably and in good faith and, save as defined in this article, expressions defined in the Scheme shall have the same meanings in this article.2
(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of these articles or the terms of any resolution, whether ordinary or special, passed by the Company in general meeting, if the Company issues any
shares (other than to any member of the Purchaser Group or a nominee of any such person (each such person, a “Purchaser Company”)) at or after the Voting Record Time
but before the Scheme Record Time, including without limitation, any shares issued as a result of conversion of any convertible loan note instrument or indenture to which the Company is a party, such shares shall be issued
subject to the terms of the Scheme (and shall be Scheme Shares for the purposes of the Scheme) and the original or any subsequent holder or holders of such shares shall be bound by the Scheme accordingly.
(iii) Subject to the Scheme becoming effective, and notwithstanding any other provision of these articles, if any shares in the Company are issued or transferred to any person other than a
Purchaser Company (a “New Member”) after the Scheme Record Time including without limitation, any shares issued as a result of conversion of any convertible loan note
instrument or indenture to which the Company is a party, (such shares the “Post-Scheme Shares”), such New Member (or any subsequent holder or any nominee of such New
Member or any such subsequent holder) will be obliged, upon the Scheme becoming effective (or, if later, upon the issue or transfer of the Post-Scheme Shares to such New Member), to transfer immediately all of its Post-Scheme
Shares free of all encumbrances to the Purchaser (or to such other person as may be nominated by the Purchaser) who shall be obliged to acquire (or procure the acquisition by such other person of) all of the Post-Scheme Shares.
In exchange for the transfer of the Post-Scheme Shares, the Purchaser (or such other person as has been nominated by the Purchaser) shall pay or procure the payment to the New Member of the same Cash Consideration and deliver or
procure the delivery to the New Member of the same CVRs that the New Member would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the Scheme had each Post-Scheme Share been a Scheme Share.

2 Note: defined terms to be reviewed once Scheme is in agreed form.
C-2
(iv) If, after the Effective Time, the Company Ordinary Shares shall have been changed to, or exchanged for, a different number or class of shares or securities by reason of any stock
dividend, bonus issue, scrip dividend, subdivision, reorganization, merger, consolidation, reclassification, redesignation, recapitalization, share split, reverse share split, combination or exchange of shares, or a stock or
scrip dividend shall be declared with a record date falling after the Effective Time, or any similar event shall have occurred, then the amount of any Cash Consideration and/ or CVR Consideration due to a New Member for each
Post-Scheme Share pursuant to Article [180](iii) above shall be adjusted by the directors of the Company in such manner as the auditors of the Company may determine to be appropriate to provide the Purchaser and the New Members
holding any Post-Scheme Share(s) with the same economic effect as contemplated by the Scheme prior to such event. References in this article to shares shall, following such adjustment, be construed accordingly.
(v) To give effect to any transfer of Post-Scheme Shares required by this article, the Company may appoint any person as attorney and/ or agent (the “agent”) for the New Member to execute
and deliver as transferor a form of transfer or other instrument or instruction of transfer on behalf of the New Member (or any subsequent holder or any nominee of such New Member or any such subsequent holder) in favour of the
Purchaser (or such other person as the Purchaser may nominate) and do all such other things and execute and deliver all such documents as may in the opinion of the agent be necessary or desirable to vest the Post-Scheme Shares
in the Purchaser (or such other person as the Purchaser may nominate) and pending such vesting to exercise all such rights attaching to the Post-Scheme Shares as the Purchaser may direct. If an agent is so appointed, the New
Member shall not thereafter be entitled to exercise any rights attaching to the Post-Scheme Shares unless so agreed in writing by the Purchaser, and the Company may send to the agent any notice, circular, warrant or other
document or communication which may otherwise be required to be sent to the New Member as a member of the Company.
(vi) The Company may give good receipt for the Cash Consideration and CVR Consideration for the Post-Scheme Shares and may register the Purchaser (or such other person as the Purchaser may
nominate) as holder of the Post-Scheme Shares and issue to it certificate(s) for the same. The agent shall be empowered to execute and deliver as transferor a form of transfer or other instrument or instruction of transfer on
behalf of the New Member (or any subsequent holder). The Company shall not be obliged to issue a certificate to the New Member for any Post-Scheme Shares.
(vii) The Purchaser shall settle (or procure the settlement) of the Cash Consideration and CVR Consideration within 14 days of the transfer of the Post-Scheme Shares by the New Member to
the Purchaser (or to such other person as the Purchaser may nominate).
(viii) Notwithstanding any other provision of these articles, neither the Company nor its directors shall register the transfer of any Scheme Shares effected between the Scheme Record Time
and the Effective Time (other than to a Purchaser Company or a nominee of a Purchaser Company pursuant to the Scheme).
(ix) If the Scheme shall not have become effective by the date referred to in paragraph [11.2] of the Scheme, this article shall be of no effect.”

either Purchaser or the Company on a consolidated basis (other than to any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Purchaser), (ii) a merger or consolidation involving either Purchaser or the Company in which Purchaser
or the Company, respectively, is not the surviving entity (other than in the case that the surviving entity is a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Purchaser), and (iii) any other transaction involving either
Purchaser or the Company in which Purchaser or the Company, respectively, is the surviving entity but in which the shareholders of Purchaser or the Company, respectively, immediately prior to such transaction own less than

whenever the context requires, the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa; (b) the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders; the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter
genders; and the neuter gender shall include masculine and feminine genders; (c) the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and does not simply mean “if”; (d)
the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation;” (e) the meaning assigned to each
capitalized term defined and used in this Agreement is equally applicable to both the singular and the plural forms of such term, and words denoting any gender include all genders; (f) where a word or phrase is defined in

CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS
|
2.1 CVRs. The CVRs represent the rights of Holders to receive contingent cash payments pursuant to
this Agreement. The Milestone 1 CVR represents the contingent rights of Holders to receive the Milestone 1 Payment, and the Milestone 2 CVR represents the contingent rights of Holders to receive the Milestone 2 Payment.
The initial Holders shall be determined pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement and this Agreement, and a list of the initial Holders shall be furnished to the Rights Agent by or on behalf of Purchaser in
accordance with Section 4.1 hereof and supplemented by Purchaser by written notice to the Rights Agent from time to time after the date hereof, including upon the issuance of additional CVRs following any conversion
of the Company Convertible Notes.
2.2 Non-transferable. The CVRs may not be sold,
assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, other than through a Permitted Transfer. Any such sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, encumbrance or
disposal that is not a Permitted Transfer shall be null and void ab initio and of no effect.
2.3 No Certificate; Registration; Registration of Transfer; Change of Address.
(a) The CVRs shall not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument.
(b) The Rights Agent shall keep a register (the “CVR Register”) for the purpose of registering CVRs (including issuances of CVRs after the date hereof) and transfers of CVRs as herein provided. [In the case of CVRs
to be received by the holders of Covered Equity Awards pursuant to the Transaction Agreement or CVRs to be received by registered holders of Scheme Shares (other than the Depositary Shares), such CVRs shall initially be
registered in the name and address of the holder of such Covered Equity Awards or Scheme Shares, as applicable, as set forth in the records of the Company at the Effective Time.] [In the case of CVRs to be received by the
Depositary Custodian in respect of the Depositary Shares, (i) the CVR Register shall be updated to reflect the distribution of such CVRs to the Eligible Company ADS Holders and such CVRs shall initially be registered in the
name and address of such Eligible Company ADS Holders as set forth in the records of the Depositary and (ii) the CVR Register will initially show one position for Cede & Co. representing all of the CVRs that are
distributed in respect of Company ADSs held through DTC on behalf of the Beneficial Owners (as defined in the Deposit Agreement) of such Company ADSs (“CVR Beneficial
Owners”). The Rights Agent will have no responsibility whatsoever directly to the CVR Beneficial Owners or DTC participants with respect to transfers of CVRs. The Rights Agent will have no responsibilities
whatsoever with regard to the distribution of payments by DTC to such CVR Beneficial Owners.]
D-7
(c) Subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in Section 2.2, every request made to
transfer a CVR must be in writing and accompanied by a written instrument of transfer and other documentation reasonably requested by the Rights Agent in form reasonably satisfactory to the Rights Agent pursuant to its
guidelines, duly executed by the Holder thereof, the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, the Holder’s personal representative or the Holder’s survivor, as applicable, and setting forth in reasonable detail the
circumstances relating to the transfer. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Rights Agent shall, subject to its reasonable determination that the transfer instrument is in proper form, notify Purchaser that it has
received such written notice. Upon receipt of such notice from the Rights Agent, Purchaser shall in good faith reasonably determine whether the transfer otherwise complies with the other terms and conditions of this
Agreement (including the provisions of Section 2.2), and if the Purchaser so reasonably determines that it does so comply, Purchaser shall reply to the Rights Agent in writing with instructions to register the
transfer of such CVR in the CVR Register and notify Purchaser of the same. Upon receiving such written reply from Purchaser, the Rights Agent shall register the transfer of the CVRs in the CVR Register and notify the
Purchaser of the same. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer of a CVR, but Purchaser and the Rights Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other Tax or charge that is
imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer. The Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any action under any section of this Agreement that requires the payment of applicable Taxes or charges
unless and until the Rights Agent is satisfied that all such Taxes or charges have been paid. All duly transferred CVRs registered in the CVR Register shall be the valid obligations of Purchaser and shall entitle the
transferee to the same benefits and rights under this Agreement as those held immediately prior to the transfer by the transferor. No transfer of a CVR shall be valid unless and until registered in the CVR Register.
(d) A Holder may make a written request to the Rights Agent to change such Xxxxxx’s address of record in the
CVR Register. The written request must be duly executed by the Holder. Upon receipt of such written request, the Rights Agent is hereby authorized to, and shall promptly, record the change of address in the CVR Register.
(a) Subject to the remainder of this Section 2.4(a),
if any Milestone is achieved prior to the relevant Milestone Deadline Date, Purchaser shall, within thirty (30) Business Days of the achievement of such Milestone, deliver to the Rights Agent a notice (a “Milestone Notice”) indicating the achievement of such Milestone and that the Holders are entitled to receive the applicable Milestone Payment.
(b) The Rights Agent shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of funds from
Purchaser as required pursuant to Section 4.2, (i) send each Holder at its registered address (or, in the case of Cede & Co., pursuant to the applicable procedures of DTC) a copy of such Milestone Notice and (ii)
pay, subject to receipt of cash from Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.2 and any letter of instruction reasonably required by the Rights Agent, the Milestone Payment (excluding certain Covered Milestone Payments
to be paid via payroll systems as contemplated by the next sentence) to each of the Holders (x) by check mailed to the address of such Holder reflected in the CVR Register as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the date of
the Milestone Notice, (y) with respect to any such Holder that is due an amount in excess of $5,000 in the aggregate who has provided the Rights Agent wiring instructions in writing as of the close of business on the date of
the Milestone Notice, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified on such instructions or (z) with respect to Cede & Co., by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the
applicable procedures of DTC. To the extent Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries is required under applicable law to deduct or withhold Taxes from any Covered Milestone Payment, Purchaser shall or shall cause one of its
Subsidiaries as an agent on its behalf to (A) promptly following the achievement of the applicable Milestone, notify the Rights Agent in writing of the Covered Milestone Payments it intends to satisfy in this manner and (B)
prior to or substantially concurrently with the payment of the Milestone Payments by the Rights Agent under this Section 2.4(b), pay, through its applicable payroll system, the applicable Covered Milestone Payments.
D-8
(c) If any funds delivered to the Rights Agent for payment to Holders as Milestone Payments remain
undistributed to the Holders on the date that is one year after the date of the applicable Milestone Notice, Purchaser shall be entitled to require the Rights Agent to deliver to Purchaser or its designee any funds which had
been made available to the Rights Agent in connection with such Milestone Payment and not disbursed to the Holders (including, all interest and other income received by the Rights Agent in respect of all funds made available
to it), and, thereafter, such Holders shall be entitled to look to Purchaser (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar Applicable Laws) only as general creditors thereof with respect to the Milestone Payments
that may be payable.
(d) Neither Purchaser, the Rights Agent nor any of their Affiliates shall be liable to any Holder for any
Milestone Payments delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar Applicable Laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such Holders at such time at which such amounts would
otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the property of Purchaser or its designee, free and clear of all claims or interest of any
Person previously entitled thereto. In addition to and not in limitation of any other indemnity obligation herein, Xxxxxxxxx agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Rights Agent with respect to any liability, penalty,
cost or expense the Rights Agent may incur or be subject to in connection with transferring such property to Purchaser.
(e) If a Milestone is not achieved prior to the relevant Milestone Deadline Date, Purchaser shall, within
thirty (30) Business Days of the relevant Milestone Deadline Date, deliver to the Rights Agent a notice (a “Milestone Non-Achievement Notice”) indicating that such
Milestone has not been achieved. The Rights Agent shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of receipt, deliver a copy of such Milestone Non-Achievement Notice to the Holders. The Rights Agent will
deliver to Purchaser a certificate certifying the date of delivery of such Milestone Non-Achievement Notice to the Holders. If the Rights Agent does not receive from the Acting Holders a written objection to a Milestone
Non-Achievement Notice within thirty (30) Business Days after the date of delivery of such Milestone Non-Achievement Notice by the Rights Agent to the Holders, the Holders will be deemed to have accepted such Milestone
Non-Achievement Notice, and neither Purchaser nor its Controlled Affiliates will have any further obligation hereunder with respect to such Milestone Payment or otherwise with respect to such Milestone; provided that the foregoing shall not limit any remedies available to the Holders under this Agreement with respect to any breach by Purchaser arising prior to the time such Milestone
Non-Achievement Notice is deemed to be accepted pursuant to this sentence.
2.5 U.S. Treatment. Except to the extent any portion of
any Milestone Payment is required to be treated as imputed interest pursuant to Applicable Law, the parties hereto intend, for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes, to treat (i) Milestone Payments
with respect to the CVRs received with respect to the Scheme Shares and Company ADSs, as applicable, pursuant to the Transaction Agreement and this Agreement as additional consideration paid at the Effective Time for the
Scheme Shares and Company ADSs pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, (ii) each of Milestone 1 and Milestone 2 as covered by separate CVRs (the Milestone 1 CVRs and Milestone 2 CVRs, respectively) and (iii) Covered Milestone
Payments, and not the receipt of any such CVR, for all U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes, as compensation (subject to withholding Taxes to the extent required by Applicable Law) in the year in
which the Covered Milestone Payment is made (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, treatment in any jurisdiction outside of the United States will be determined by Purchaser in
its good faith discretion following consultation with a reputable international tax accounting firm).
D-9
2.6 No Voting, Dividends or Interest; No Equity or Ownership Interest.
(a) The CVRs shall not have any voting or dividend rights, and interest shall not accrue on any amounts
payable on the CVRs to any Holder.
(b) The CVRs shall not represent any equity or ownership interest in Purchaser or in any constituent company
to the Transaction or any of their respective Affiliates.
2.7 Ability to Abandon CVR. A Holder may at any time,
at such Holder’s option, abandon all of such Xxxxxx’s remaining rights in a CVR by transferring such CVR to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates without consideration therefor. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit
Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from offering to acquire or acquiring any CVRs for consideration from the Holders, in private transactions or otherwise, in its sole discretion. Any CVRs acquired by Purchaser or any of
its Affiliates shall be automatically deemed extinguished and no longer outstanding for purposes of the definition of Acting Holders and Article 5 and Article 6.
2.8 Withholding. Purchaser, its Affiliates, and the Company (as applicable) shall be entitled to
deduct and withhold from the Milestone Payments or Covered Milestone Payments (as applicable), such amounts, if any, of Tax as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment or delivery
under Applicable Law. Purchaser will cooperate in good faith with the Holders to implement payment arrangements in respect of the settlement of the Milestone Payments and the Covered Milestone Payments (including through the
use of appropriate agents that will, to the extent legally permissible, minimize both the amount of, and the administrative burdens associated with, such deduction or withholding). To the extent that amounts of Tax are so
deducted and withheld, such deducted and withheld amounts (a) shall be remitted to the applicable Taxing Authority within the time limits imposed by Applicable Law and (b) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement
and the Scheme of Arrangement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

THE RIGHTS AGENT
|
3.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities. Purchaser
hereby appoints the Rights Agent to act as rights agent for Purchaser in accordance with the express terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (and no implied terms and conditions), and the Rights Agent hereby accepts
such appointment. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the Rights Agent shall not have any liability for any actions taken,
suffered or omitted to be taken in connection with this Agreement, except to the extent of its gross negligence, bad faith or willful or intentional misconduct. If an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured
or waived), the Rights Agent shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a reasonably prudent person would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.
D-10
3.2 Certain Rights of the Rights Agent. The Rights Agent undertakes to perform such duties and only
such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Rights Agent. In addition:

from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order or other paper or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed
or presented by the proper party or parties;
(b) whenever the Rights Agent shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to
taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Rights Agent may rely upon an Officer’s Certificate, which certificate shall be full authorization and protection to the Rights Agent, and the Rights Agent shall, in
the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful or intentional misconduct on its part, incur no liability and be held harmless by Purchaser for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it
under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon such certificate;
(c) the Rights Agent may engage and consult with counsel of its selection and the written advice of such
counsel or any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection and shall be held harmless by Purchaser in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in
reliance thereon;
(d) in the event of arbitration, the Rights Agent may engage and consult with regulatory experts, drug
development experts and other experts and third parties that it, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems appropriate or necessary to enable it to discharge its duties hereunder;
(e) the permissive rights of the Rights Agent to do things enumerated in this Agreement shall not be
construed as a duty;
(f) the Rights Agent shall not be required to give any note or surety in respect of the execution of such
powers or otherwise in respect of the premises;
(g) the Rights Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of, and shall be held harmless by Purchaser with
respect to any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement or be required to verify the same, but all such statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to have been made by Purchaser only;
(h) the Rights Agent shall have no liability and shall be held harmless by Purchaser in respect of the
validity of this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except the due execution and delivery hereof by the Rights Agent and the enforceability of this Agreement against the Rights Agent assuming the due execution
and delivery hereof by Purchaser), nor shall it be responsible for any breach by Purchaser of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement, except for any such breach resulting from the Rights Agent’s gross
negligence, bad faith or willful or intentional misconduct;
D-11
(i) Purchaser agrees to indemnify the Rights Agent for, and hold the Rights Agent harmless against, any
loss, liability, claim, demand, suit or expense arising out of or in connection with Rights Agent’s duties under this Agreement, including the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of defending Rights Agent against any
claim, charge, demand, suit or loss, unless such loss has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be a result of Rights Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful or intentional misconduct;
(j) The Rights Agent shall not be liable for consequential damages under any provision of this Agreement or
for any consequential damages arising out of any act or failure to act hereunder in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful or intentional misconduct on its part;
(k) Purchaser agrees (i) to pay the fees and expenses of the Rights Agent in connection with this Agreement
as agreed upon in writing by the Rights Agent and Purchaser on or prior to the date hereof (which shall not exceed $20,000 per year), and (ii) to reimburse the Rights Agent for all Taxes and governmental charges, reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses and other charges of any kind and nature incurred by the Rights Agent in the execution of this Agreement (other than Taxes imposed on or measured by the Rights Agent’s net income and franchise or
similar Taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income Taxes)). The Rights Agent shall also be entitled to reimbursement from Purchaser for all reasonable, necessary and documented out-of-pocket
expenses paid or incurred by it in connection with the administration by the Rights Agent of its duties hereunder (other than in connection with any proceeding initiated by the Rights Agent on behalf of itself or the
Holders); and
(l) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Rights Agent to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of its rights if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnification against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(a) The Rights Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to Purchaser specifying a date
when such resignation shall take effect, which notice shall be sent at least sixty (60) days prior to the date so specified but in no event shall such resignation become effective until a successor Rights Agent has been
appointed and accepted such appointment in accordance with Section 3.4. Purchaser has the right to remove the Rights Agent at any time by specifying a date when such removal shall take effect but no such removal
shall become effective until a successor Rights Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment in accordance with Section 3.4. Notice of such removal shall be given by Purchaser to the Rights Agent, which
notice shall be sent at least sixty (60) days prior to the date so specified.
(b) If the Rights Agent provides notice of its intent to resign, is removed or becomes incapable of acting,
Purchaser shall, as soon as is reasonably practicable, appoint a qualified successor Rights Agent who shall be a stock transfer agent of national reputation or the corporate trust department of a commercial bank.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser shall fail to make such appointment within a period of sixty (60) days after giving notice of such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or
incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent, then the incumbent Rights Agent may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent. The successor Rights Agent so appointed
shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with Section 3.4, become the successor Rights Agent.
D-12
(c) Purchaser shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of a Rights Agent and each appointment
of a successor Rights Agent [through the facilities of DTC in accordance with DTC’s procedures (in respect of CVRs registered in the name of Cede & Co. only)] or by mailing written notice of such event by first-class
mail to the Holders as their names and addresses appear in the CVR Register. Each notice shall include the name and address of the successor Rights Agent. If Purchaser fails to send such notice within ten (10) Business
Days after acceptance of appointment by a successor Rights Agent, the successor Rights Agent shall cause the notice to be transmitted at the expense of Purchaser. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 3.3,
however, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be.
(d) Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 3.3, unless consented to in writing by the Acting
Holders, Purchaser shall not appoint as a successor Rights Agent any Person that is not a stock transfer agent of national reputation or the corporate trust department of an international commercial bank.
(e) The Rights Agent will cooperate with Xxxxxxxxx and any successor Rights Agent as reasonably requested in
connection with the transition of the duties and responsibilities of the Rights Agent to the successor Rights Agent, including transferring the CVR Register to the successor Rights Agent.
3.4 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every
successor Rights Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Purchaser and to the retiring Rights Agent an instrument accepting such appointment and a counterpart of this Agreement, and thereupon such
successor Rights Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Rights Agent. On request of Purchaser or the successor Rights Agent,
the retiring Rights Agent shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to the successor Rights Agent all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Rights Agent.

(b) Without the consent of any Holders, Purchaser and the Rights Agent, at any time and from time to time,
may enter into one or more amendments thereto to reduce the number of CVRs, in the event any Holder agrees to renounce such Holder’s rights under this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.4 or to transfer CVRs to
Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.7.
(c) Promptly after the execution by Xxxxxxxxx and/or the Rights Agent of any amendment pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 5.1, Purchaser shall transmit or cause the Rights Agent to transmit a notice thereof [through the facilities of DTC in accordance with DTC’s procedures (in respect of CVRs registered in the

Holders, Purchaser and the Rights Agent may enter into one or more amendments hereto for the purpose of adding, eliminating or changing any provisions of this Agreement, even if such addition, elimination or change is
materially adverse to the interest of the Holders.
(b) Promptly after the execution by Xxxxxxxxx and the Rights Agent of any amendment pursuant to the

5.3 Execution of Amendments. Prior to executing any amendment permitted by this Section 5, the
Rights Agent shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an opinion of counsel selected by Xxxxxxxxx stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement.
The Rights Agent may, but is not obligated to, enter into any such amendment that affects the Rights Agent’s own rights, powers, trusts or duties under this Agreement or otherwise.
D-15
5.4 Effect of Amendments. Upon the execution of any amendment under this Section 5, this
Agreement shall be modified in accordance therewith, such amendment shall form a part of this Agreement for all purposes and every Holder shall be bound thereby.
6.1 Event of Default. “Event of Default” with respect to the CVRs, means each one of the following events which shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall
be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of Applicable Law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority):
(a) default in the payment by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement of all or any part of the
Milestone Payment after a period of ten (10) Business Days after the Milestone Payment shall become due and payable; or
(b) material default in the performance, or breach in any material respect, of any covenant or warranty of
Purchaser hereunder (other than a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section 6.1 specifically dealt with), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of ninety (90) days
after a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied is given, which written notice states that it is a “Notice of Default” hereunder and is sent by registered or certified mail to
Purchaser by the Rights Agent or to Purchaser and the Rights Agent by the Acting Holders.
If an Event of Default described above occurs and is continuing (and has not been cured or waived), then, and in each and every such case, (i) the Rights Agent by notice in
writing to Purchaser or (ii) the Rights Agent upon the written request of the Acting Holders by notice in writing to Purchaser (and to the Rights Agent if given by the Acting Holders), shall commence an arbitration proceeding
to protect the rights of the Holders, including to obtain payment for any amounts then due and payable.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1, however, are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the Rights Agent shall have commenced such arbitration
proceeding, and before any award shall have been obtained, Purchaser shall pay or shall deposit with the Rights Agent a sum sufficient to pay all amounts which shall have become due and such amount as shall be sufficient to
cover reasonable compensation to the Rights Agent, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all Events of Default under this Agreement shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein, then and in every
such case the Acting Holders, by written notice to Purchaser and to the Rights Agent, may waive all defaults that are the subject of such arbitration proceeding, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to
or shall affect any subsequent default.
6.2 Arbitration Proceedings for Enforcement. If an Event of Default has occurred, has not been waived
and is continuing, the Rights Agent may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Agreement by commencing arbitration proceedings pursuant to Section 7.6.
D-16
6.3 Limitations on Suits by Holders. Subject to the
last sentence of this Section 6.3, no Holder of any CVR shall have any right under this Agreement to commence arbitration proceedings under or with respect to this Agreement, or for the appointment of a Rights Agent,
receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, for any other remedy hereunder, unless (i) such Holder previously shall have given to the Rights Agent written notice of default, (ii) the Acting Holders shall have
made written request upon the Rights Agent to commence such arbitration proceeding in its own name as Rights Agent hereunder and shall have offered to the Rights Agent such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the
costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby and (iii) the Rights Agent for fifteen (15) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to commence any such
arbitration proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Rights Agent pursuant to Section 6.4; provided that in the event
of an insolvency, bankruptcy or similar proceeding of Purchaser or any of its controlled Affiliates, individual Holders shall be entitled to assert claims in such proceeding and take related actions in pursuit of such claims
with respect to any payment that may be claimed by or on behalf of Purchaser or by any creditor of Purchaser. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the right of any Holder of any CVR to receive payment of
the amounts that a Milestone Notice indicates are payable in respect of such CVR on or after the applicable due date, or to commence arbitration proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such due date,
shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
6.4 Control by Acting Holders. Subject to the last
sentence of this Section 6.4, the Acting Holders shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Rights Agent, or exercising any power conferred
on the Rights Agent by this Agreement, provided that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with Applicable Law and the provisions of this Agreement; provided, further that (subject to the provisions of Section 3.1) the Rights Agent shall have the right to decline to follow any such
direction if the Rights Agent, being advised by external counsel, shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Rights Agent (acting in good faith through its board of
directors, the executive committee, or a committee of directors of the Rights Agent) shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Rights Agent in personal liability or if the Rights Agent in
good faith shall so determine that the actions or forbearances specified in or pursuant to such direction would be unduly prejudicial to the interests of Holders not joining in the giving of said direction. Nothing in this
Agreement shall impair the right of the Rights Agent in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Rights Agent and which is not inconsistent with such direction or directions by the Acting Holders.

The Rights Agent or Purchaser may specify a different address or email address by giving notice in accordance with this Section 7.1.
7.2 Notice to Holders. Where this Agreement provides for notice to Holders, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and transmitted through the facilities of DTC in accordance with DTC’s procedures (in respect of CVRs registered in the name of Cede & Co.
only) or mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at the Holder’s address as it appears in the CVR Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, if any,
prescribed for the giving of such notice.
D-18
7.3 Purchaser Successors and Assigns. Purchaser may
not directly or indirectly assign any or all of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder to any person or entity without the prior written consent of the Acting Holders; provided,
that Purchaser may assign, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder (a) in its sole discretion and without the consent of any other Person, to one or more direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries of
Purchaser (but only so long as they remain wholly-owned Subsidiaries of Purchaser) (provided that such assignment would not be adverse to the Holders) and (b) to any other person or
entity with the prior written consent of the Acting Holders (each permitted assignee under clause (a) or (b) and any subsequent assignee under the next sentence, an “Assignee”);
provided that the Assignee agrees in writing to assume and be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any such Assignee may thereafter assign, in its sole
discretion and without the consent of any other party, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to one or more additional Assignees which agree to assume and be bound by all of the terms and conditions
of this Agreement; provided, however, that in connection with any assignment to an Assignee, Purchaser (or the other assignor) shall agree
to remain liable for the performance by each Assignee (and such other assignor, if applicable) of all covenants, agreements and obligations of Purchaser hereunder, with such Assignee substituted for Purchaser under this
Agreement. This Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Xxxxxxxxx’s successors and each Assignee. Subject to compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3
relating to assignments, this Agreement shall not restrict Purchaser’s, any Assignee’s or any of their respective successors’ ability to merge or consolidate with, or sell, issue, license or dispose of its stock or other
equity interests or assets to, any other Person, or spin-off or split-off. Each of Purchaser’s successors (including following a Change of Control) and each Assignee shall, by a supplemental contingent consideration payment
agreement or other acknowledgement executed and delivered to the Rights Agent, expressly assume payment of amounts on all of the CVRs and the performance of every obligation, agreement and covenant of this Agreement on the
part of Purchaser to be performed or observed. The Rights Agent may not assign this Agreement without Purchaser’s written consent. Any attempted assignment of this Agreement or any rights, interests or obligations in
violation of this Section 7.3 shall be void and of no effect.
7.4 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this
Agreement, express or implied, shall give to any Person (other than the Rights Agent, Purchaser, Purchaser’s successors and Assignees, each of whom is intended to be, and is, a third party beneficiary hereunder; provided that the Holders shall be considered third party beneficiaries solely to the extent set forth in Sections 2.8 and 6) any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy
or claim under this Agreement or under any covenant or provision herein contained, all such covenants and provisions being for the sole benefit of the Rights Agent, Purchaser, Purchaser’s successors and Assignees, and the
Holders (solely to the extent set forth in Sections 2.8 and 6). The Holders of CVRs shall have no rights except the contractual rights as are expressly set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, any Holder may at any time agree to renounce, in whole or in part, whether or not for consideration, such Xxxxxx’s rights under this Agreement by written notice to the Rights Agent and Purchaser,
which notice, if given, shall be irrevocable, and Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, at any time offer consideration to Holders in exchange for their agreement to irrevocably renounce their rights, in whole or in part,
hereunder.
D-19
7.5 Governing
Law. This Agreement, the CVRs and all actions arising under or in connection herewith and therewith (whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.
7.6 Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy or claim (including any claim for breach hereof) based upon,
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby (other than a dispute, controversy or claim asserted against or by the Rights Agent to the extent pertaining to the Rights Agent’s rights,
immunities, liabilities, duties, responsibilities or obligations hereunder) shall be resolved by binding arbitration conducted in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration (“Rules”) of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”). The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators, each of whom
shall be independent and a lawyer or retired judge with at least fifteen years’ experience in the pharmaceutical industry and with mergers and acquisitions. No later than fifteen days after an arbitration proceeding is
commenced under this Section 7.6, Purchaser shall nominate one arbitrator and the Holder (or, if more than one Holder is a party to the arbitration proceeding, all such Holders collectively) shall nominate one
arbitrator, and the two so nominated arbitrators shall select the third arbitrator. If the two arbitrators cannot or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator within fifteen days of their confirmation by the ICC, the third
arbitrator shall be appointed by the ICC in accordance with the Rules. The arbitration shall be administered by the ICC acting through its International Court of Arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in the
English language and the seat, or place, of the arbitration shall be the city of New York, New York. Hearings shall be conducted in New York, New York, or at such other location as mutually agreed by Purchaser and the
Holder or Holders that are party to the arbitration proceeding. The arbitration award shall be final, conclusive, binding and non-appealable and shall not be subject to further review by any court. The arbitrator shall
have no power to amend or supplement the terms of this Agreement or the Transaction Agreement or act ex aequo et xxxx. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party shall bear
his, her or its own costs of any such arbitration or investigation in respect of any dispute. Any award payable in favor of the Holders or the Rights Agent as a result of arbitration shall be distributed to the Holders on a
pro rata basis, based on the number of CVRs held by each Holder.
7.7 Severability. In the event that any provision of
this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and the
application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this
Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.
7.8 Termination. This Agreement shall be terminated
and of no force or effect, the parties hereto shall have no liability hereunder (other than with respect to monies due and owing by Purchaser to Rights Agent), and no payments shall be required to be made, upon the earliest
to occur of (a) the payment of the full amount of the potential Milestone Payments required to be paid under the terms of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.4, (b) the termination of the Transaction Agreement in
accordance with its terms prior to the occurrence of the Effective Time and (c) 90 days following the latest Milestone Deadline Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such termination shall affect any rights or obligations
accrued prior to the effective date of such termination (including in respect of breaches of this Agreement by Purchaser prior to such termination) or this Section 7, which shall survive the termination of this
Agreement, or the resignation, replacement or removal of the Rights Agent.
D-20
7.9 Entire Agreement; Counterparts. This Agreement,
the Support Agreements and the Transaction Agreement constitute the entire agreement and supersede all contemporaneous and prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the Parties, with
respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. If and to the extent that any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent or conflicts with the Transaction Agreement, this Agreement shall govern and be controlling. This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise)
by .PDF shall be sufficient to bind the Parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
