APPENDIX A

Employee Stock Option Agreement

Under the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan

This Appendix A contains supplemental terms and conditions for awards of nonqualified stock options (“Options”) granted as of the Date of Grant set forth in the Agreement under the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to Participants who reside outside the United States or who are otherwise subject to the laws of a country other than the United States.

Participant has also received the Agreement applicable to the Award set forth therein. The Agreement, together with this Appendix A and the Plan are the terms and conditions of the grant of Options set forth in the Agreement. To the extent that this Appendix A amends, deletes or supplements any terms of the Agreement, this Appendix A shall control. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

Section I of this Appendix A contains special terms and conditions that govern the Options outside of the United States. Section II of this Appendix A contains special terms and conditions that govern the Options in all countries, excluding Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. Section III of this Appendix A contains special terms and conditions that govern the Options in Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. Section IV of this Appendix A includes special terms and conditions in the specific countries listed therein.

This Appendix A may also include information regarding exchange controls, taxation of awards and certain other issues of which Participant should be aware with respect to participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control, tax and other laws concerning Options in effect as of July 1, 2024. Such laws are often complex and change frequently; the information may be out of date at the time Participant vests in or exercises the Options or sells shares acquired under the Plan. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Participant should not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of Participant's participation in the Plan.

In addition, this Appendix A is general in nature, does not discuss all of the various laws, rules and regulations which may apply to Participant's particular situation and the Company does not assure Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, Participant is strongly advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in Participant's country apply to Participant's specific situation.

Finally, if Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which Participant is currently working, transferred employment after the Award was granted or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the information contained herein may not be applicable to Participant in the same manner. In addition, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein will apply under these circumstances.

(1)the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

(11)in consideration of the grant of the Options, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Options resulting from termination of Participant's employment with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and Participant irrevocably release the Company and the Subsidiaries and Affiliates from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, Participant will be deemed irrevocably to have waived Participant's entitlement to pursue such claim;

(12)in the event of termination of Participant's employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), Participant's right to vest in the Options under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that Participant is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); the Compensation Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Participant is no longer actively employed for purposes of Participant's Award;

(13)the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Participant's participation in the Plan, or Participant's acquisition or sale of Common Stock;

(16)neither the Company, any Subsidiary nor any Affiliate of the Company shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant's local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Options or of any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the exercise of the Options or the subsequent sale of any shares acquired upon exercise.

2. Payment of Taxes. The following provisions supplement Section 7 of the Agreement entitled “Taxes.”

(5)To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, Participant shall be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Options, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of Participant’s participation in the Plan.

(6)Participant shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may

Participant may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in Participant’s country of residence (and country of employment, if different).

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. Foreign property, including Shares and other rights to acquire Shares (e.g., Options), of a non-Canadian company held by a Canadian resident employee must generally be reported annually on a Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement), if the total cost of Participant’s foreign assets exceeds C$100,000 at any time during the year.

In the event that Participant is a director or executive officer and income taxes are not collected from or paid by Participant within ninety (90) days after the end of the tax year in which the event giving rise to the income tax obligation arose, the amount of any uncollected income tax may constitute a benefit to Participant on which additional income tax and national insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable. Participant acknowledges that Participant will be responsible for reporting any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for paying the Company or the Employer (as applicable) for any employee NICs due on this additional benefit which may be recovered from Participant by the Company or the Employer at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to herein.
