Proposal 1 – Election of Directors
Our Board has nominated these eight individuals based on its carefully considered judgment that the skills, contributions, backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences of our nominees qualify them to serve on our Board. As described in detail below, our nominees have considerable professional and business expertise. We know of no reason why any nominee would be unable to accept nomination or election. All nominees have consented to being named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected. To be elected, a director nominee must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, are not considered votes cast under our bylaws and will have no effect on the results of this vote. For additional information please see also “Broker Voting and Votes Required for Each Proposal” on page 6. If any nominee is unable to serve on our Board, the stock represented by your proxy will be voted for the election of such other person as may be nominated by our Board or alternatively, the number of directors may be reduced accordingly by our Board.

Director Nomination Process
Director Nomination Process
Identification and Evaluation of Nominees for Directors
Identification and Evaluation of Nominees for Directors Our Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee (“NCG Committee”) is responsible for identifying individuals qualified to become Board members consistent with the criteria approved by the Board and recommending such individuals to the Board. The Board’s policy is to encourage the selection of Directors who will contribute to the Company’s achievement of its overall corporate goals. If any member of our Board does not wish to continue in service or if our Board decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the NCG Committee will identify a new nominee that meets the criteria for membership on our Board. The NCG Committee may, in its sole discretion, solicit recommendations for nominees from persons the NCG Committee believes are likely to be familiar with qualified candidates. These persons may include members of our Board, including members of the NCG Committee, and our management team. The NCG Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine to engage a professional search firm to assist in identifying qualified candidates. If a search firm is engaged, the NCG Committee will set its fees and scope of engagement. The NCG Committee may, in its sole discretion, solicit the views of the Chief Executive Officer, other members of our senior management and other members of our Board regarding the qualifications and suitability of candidates to be nominated as directors. The NCG Committee may, in its sole discretion, designate one or more of its members (or the entire NCG Committee) or other members of our Board to interview any proposed candidate. Based on all available information and relevant considerations, the NCG Committee will select a candidate who, in the view of the NCG Committee, is most suited for membership on our Board. The NCG Committee has utilized professional search firms to identify candidates to serve on our Board, including, most recently, the identification of Tony Kingsley, who was appointed to our Board in July 2025. Shareholders wishing to suggest a candidate for director must write to our Company Secretary in accordance with our procedures detailed in the section entitled “Shareholder Communications with Our Board” on page 19 and should follow the provisions in our Bylaws regarding advance notice of shareholder nominations and proposals. Shareholder nominations should be made according to the procedures detailed in the section entitled “Shareholder Proposals and Director Nominations for 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders” on page 58. Such submissions must state (i) the nominee’s name, age, business address and residential address, (ii) a complete biography and statement of such person’s qualifications, (iii) the Specified Information (as defined in the Bylaws) for each nominee and any member of the immediate family of such nominee, Affiliate or Associate (each as defined in the Bylaws); (iv) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding of the type described in the Bylaws, as it relates to each such nominee; (v) a complete signed written questionnaire, representation and agreement to serve as a director if elected and to abide by all policies of the Board.
Compensation of Non-Employee Directors
Compensation of Non-Employee Directors During FY25, we were incorporated under the laws of England and Wales. In anticipation of redomiciling from the U.K. to the U.S., we had been working since 2024 to bring our approach to director compensation in line with U.S. market practices for U.S. listed companies of a similar size and profile. The largest differences between market practice in the two jurisdictions relate primarily to the amount of compensation and the U.S. practice of delivering a portion of non-employee director compensation in the form of equity. The U.K. regulatory environment creates complexity around awarding equity grants to non-employee directors. These complexities include provisions of English law with respect to pre-emption rights and allotment of shares under the U.K. Companies Act. As a result, the non-employee directors were not eligible to participate in our equity incentive plans while we were a U.K. company. As part of our transition to U.S. corporate governance and compensation practices, we implemented a program in FY25 to ensure that a meaningful amount of the fees paid to our non-employee directors were held in Company shares. To address the regulatory restrictions in the U.K. and achieve this objective, we established the Non-Employee Director Share Program (the “NED Share Program”). Effective following the Annual General Meeting on May 8, 2025, we restructured the non-employee director fees to mandate that a portion of the retainer would be invested in Company shares. For our five U.S. non-employee directors serving at that time, we entered into a Collective Purchase Plan between the Company, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and each of the five U.S. non-employee directors. The funds for purchase of shares were deposited directly by the Company, on behalf of each director, into a brokerage account for the purchase of Company shares. Because Ms. Thompson is a U.K. resident, she was not eligible to participate in the Collective Purchase Plan, so she purchased the equivalent number of shares in the open market and the Company reimbursed her. Mr. Kingsley joined the Board following the establishment of the Collective Purchase Plan, so the Company provided Mr. Kingsley with funds to purchase the equivalent number of shares, and he purchased the shares in the open market.

Compensation Objectives and Structure
| ● | Market Competitiveness: Compensation opportunities are designed to be competitive with peer companies to attract and retain executive talent. |
Our Compensation Process
| ● | Annual Performance Reviews. Our Chief Executive Officer conducts and presents an assessment of our corporate performance and the performance reviews of the other NEOs to the compensation committee after the end of each fiscal year. The compensation committee takes this into account in reviewing and determining the compensation of each NEO, along with consideration of individual factors, such as potential for future contributions to our growth, industry experience and retention concerns. |
Our Compensation Process
| ● | Peer and Industry Data. Our compensation committee considers peer and industry data provided by its independent compensation consultant, currently Mercer (US) LLC, as a reference in setting base salaries and target cash compensation, determining appropriate levels and mix of equity compensation and determining the type and portion of compensation tied to performance goals. |
Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant
Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant Our compensation committee believes that independent advice is critical in developing the Company’s executive compensation programs. The compensation committee was advised by Mercer, an independent compensation consultant, during the year ended December 31, 2025. Mercer provides guidance to the compensation committee on trends in executive and non-employee director compensation, the development of specific executive compensation programs and the composition of the Company’s compensation peer group. Mercer also engages in other matters as needed and as directed solely by our compensation committee. The Company pays the cost for Mercer’s services. However, the compensation committee retains the sole authority to direct, terminate or engage Mercer’s services. Mercer and its affiliates provided other advisory services to us in 2025, but the fees for those services did not exceed $120,000 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Mercer reports directly to the compensation committee. Our compensation committee assesses its compensation consultants’ independence annually and, in accordance with applicable SEC and Nasdaq rules, confirmed that Mercer’s work or relationships did not raise any conflicts of interest.
Peer Group Determination
Peer Group Determination Market practices are one of the considerations taken into account by our compensation committee when determining executive compensation levels and compensation program design. In evaluating market practices, we generally aim to be at the 50th percentile of the market, with adjustments based on overall individual and Company performance and a focus on retention of key talent. Our compensation committee uses a peer group to provide context for its executive compensation decision-making. Each year, the compensation committee’s independent compensation consultant reviews the external market landscape and evaluates the composition of our peer group for appropriateness. At the time our 2025 peer group was selected in September 2024, our compensation committee asked Mercer to develop a potential list of U.S. peers in alignment with the Company’s plans to redomicile to the U.S. The methodology used included:
Peer Group Determination
| ● | Industry and location: only companies in the pharmaceutical or biotech industries that are also U.S. headquartered or primarily listed on a major U.S. exchange and provide full U.S. SEC disclosures |
Peer Group Determination
| ● | Size and market cap: companies within a 0.4X to 2.5X range of our revenue and market capitalization at that time |
Peer Group Determination
| ● | Business fit: companies with comparable business descriptions and profitability |
Peer Group Determination
For each of the companies in our peer group, where available, we analyze the company’s Compensation Discussion and Analysis, Summary Compensation Table and other data publicly filed during the prior and current year to identify the executives at such companies whose positions are comparable to those held by our executive officers. We then compile and analyze the data for each comparable position. We may also supplement the data for our peer group with published compensation surveys, where appropriate. The peer group for determining our 2025 compensation decisions consisted of the following companies:
Peer Group Determination
| ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc. | Emergent BioSolutions Inc. | Novavax, Inc. | | Alkermes plc | Exact Sciences Corporation | Pacira BioSciences, Inc. | | Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | Exelixis, Inc. | PTC Therapeutics, Inc. | | Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. | | Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | Intra-Cellular Therapies, Inc. | Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | | BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. | Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. | Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc. | | Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated | | United Therapeutics Corporation |
Peer Group Determination
For 2025, the compensation committee removed Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC, Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB (publ), Almirall, S.A., Laboratorios Farmaceuticos Rovi, S.A., Myriad Genetics, Inc., and Ironwood Pharmaceuticals based on being headquartered in Europe, revenue range, or business fit.
Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”)
Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”) Our AIP provides for annual cash incentives which are based on revenue, profitability and strategic key performance indicators (“KPIs”). For FY25, the AIP was determined to be achieved at the maximum level based on the Company’s performance against these measures. The specific FY25 AIP performance goals and achievement levels are illustrated below.
Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”)
| Performance Measure | Weighting | Minimum / Threshold | Target | Maximum | FY25 Actual | | Global SUBLOCADE® Net Revenue ($M) | 60% | $727 | $765 | $803 | $856 | | Adjusted Operating Profit(3) ($M) | 30% | $195 | $217 | $239 | $418 | | KPIs | 10% | 3 | 6 | 8 | 8 | | Payout | | 50% | 100% | 200% | 200% |
Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”)
For FY25, the maximum performance levels were achieved with respect to Global SUBLOCADE® net revenue and Adjusted Operating Profit. Each of the remaining strategic KPIs were also achieved. (3) Adjusted Operating Profit is a Non-GAAP financial measure. For the FY25 AIP, it was determined by taking the operating profit or loss determined under U.S. GAAP, adjusting for significant expenses that do not reflect the Company’s ongoing operations and adding back any in-process research and development expenses. The KPIs that were achieved for FY25, which were each afforded 2 KPI points, included (i) completion of a multiple dose pharmacokinetics study related to INDV-6001, (ii) submission of materials to regulators and request for an end-of-Phase 2 regulatory meeting related to INDV-6001, (iii) completion of clinical proof-of-concept study related to INDV-2000, and (iv) development of chemistry, manufacturing and controls (“CMC”) to supply a Phase 3 program for INDV-2000. For FY25, the AIP also included an ESG modifier which would result in a downward adjustment to the AIP if not achieved. The ESG modifier included the following metrics: (i) executing on all Real-World Evidence studies, (ii) completing 2025 peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations, (iii) maintaining compliance with all government agreements and continuing to promote a “Speak Up” culture demonstrated through Ethisphere survey results at or above benchmark standards, and (iv) implementing key initiatives that will lead to long-term Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions reductions. All of the ESG metrics were determined to be achieved and therefore no downward adjustments were made to the AIP maximum payout. In setting the year-long performance goals for the AIP, the compensation committee sought to incentivize growth through both top-line and bottom-line goals as well as strategic KPIs. The compensation committee believes that AIP target levels should reflect goals which are rigorous yet reasonable and which take into account market conditions and prior performance. Revenue targets for SUBLOCADE® were set higher than prior year performance to reflect the importance of driving this critical growth area. The target for Adjusted Operating Profit was set below the prior year performance level consistent with the FY25 budget, reflecting reduced levels of SUBOXONE Film revenue and structural changes made during 2024 to refocus the Company on Opioid Use Disorder (“OUD”) and discontinue research and development of categories outside of OUD. Adjusted Operating Profit for the FY25 AIP was determined by taking the operating profit or loss determined under U.S. GAAP, adjusting for significant expenses that do not reflect the Company’s ongoing operations and adding back any in-process research and development expenses. At the outset of FY25, the AIP performance targets also included a goal related to OPVEE® net revenue. In August 2025, the Company eliminated the sales force and operational structure for OPVEE®. In addition, one of the strategic KPIs related to the Company’s SUBLOCADE® pipeline was determined to be no longer necessary or appropriate given regulatory approval received which no longer necessitated further regulatory submissions. As a result, the compensation committee removed the performance goal related to OPVEE® net revenue and reallocated the weighting of that goal toward the SUBLOCADE® net revenue goal. In addition, for purposes of measuring achievement of the strategic KPIs, the SUBLOCADE® pipeline KPI referenced above was determined to have been achieved. While the compensation committee generally does not intend to adjust performance targets during the course of the year, these adjustments were determined to be appropriate and aligned with pay-for-performance because the Company realized substantial cost savings by discontinuing the OPVEE® sales force and would have incurred substantial unnecessary costs to pursue regulatory approvals which were ultimately determined to be unnecessary. For the NEOs, the FY25 AIP targets, maximum amount and actual amounts paid to each NEO were as follows:
Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”)
| NEO | FY25 AIP Target (% Base Salary) | FY25 AIP Max (% Base Salary) | FY25 AIP Target ($) | FY25 AIP Actual ($) | FY25 AIP Actual (% Base Salary) | | Joe Ciaffoni | 100% | 200% | $1,050,000 | $2,100,000 | 200% | | Mark Crossley(1) | 100% | 100% | $902,261 | $1,804,522 | 200% | | Ryan Preblick | 60% | 120% | $335,292 | $670,584 | 120% | | Christian Heidbreder | 60% | 120% | $391,577 | $783,154 | 120% | | Pat Barry | 60% | 120% | $420,000 | $840,000 | 120% | | Jeff Burris | 50% | 100% | $284,500 | $569,000 | 100% | | Richard Simkin(2) | 70% | 140% | $546,057 | $448,778 | 140% |
Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”)
| (1) Mr. Crossley’s separation agreement provided that he would receive the annual amount calculated under the AIP for FY25 (without proration) based on delivering a smooth transition to Mr. Ciaffoni (as defined in the separation agreement), which is shown above. His separation agreement also provided for an additional bonus opportunity for FY25 of $250,000 based on achieving the Company’s Net Revenue and Adjusted Operating Profit targets for Q1 and Q2 2025, such amount being included in the “Non-equity incentive plan compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table that follows this CD&A. |
Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”)
| (2) Mr. Simkin’s actual FY25 AIP payment was prorated based on his retirement on May 30, 2025. |
Long-Term Incentive Plan
Long-Term Incentive Plan Long-term incentive compensation incentivizes and rewards long-term Company performance, aligns executives’ interests with those of our shareholders, and promotes retention in a highly competitive talent marketplace. Therefore, this element of our executive compensation program forms the largest portion of our NEOs direct compensation. Our long-term incentive compensation is delivered in the form of Performance Stock Units (PSUs) and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), each granted under our equity incentive plan.
FY25 Award Grants
FY25 Award Grants The compensation committee determined the FY25 awards in February 2025 and the grants were made in early March 2025. In setting the value of each long-term incentive award, the compensation committee considered U.S. market practices and a compensation review conducted by Mercer. In connection with the CEO transition, and in lieu of a long-term incentive award for 2025, the compensation committee granted Mr. Ciaffoni (i) PSUs with a grant-date value of 12 times his initial base salary, subject to a cap of 1.575 million shares, and (ii) RSUs with a grant-date value of four times the initial base salary, subject to a cap of 525,000 shares (together, the “On-Hire Award”). The shares underlying the PSU award granted to Mr. Ciaffoni vest, if at all, based on the achievement of certain volume weighted average price per share (“VWAP”), conditions during any 30 consecutive trading day period on or after May 8, 2026, subject to a 12-month holding period, as follows: 30% upon achievement of a $15.00 VWAP, 20% upon achievement of a $20.00 VWAP, 20% upon achievement of a $25.00 VWAP, 15% upon achievement of a $30.00 VWAP, and 15% upon achievement of a $35.00 VWAP. These performance targets were established at the time the Company entered into the employment agreement with Mr. Ciaffoni on March 3, 2025, at which time the Company’s closing stock price was $9.55. These performance targets are set forth in his employment agreement. The On-Hire Award to Mr. Ciaffoni was part of the Company’s U.K. Remuneration Policy that was approved by shareholders at the Company’s Annual General Meeting in May 2025. For the other NEOs, the target value and mix of long-term incentive awards were set at 400% of base salary with a mix of 70% PSUs and 30% RSUs, except that Mr. Barry’s mix was set at 50% PSUs and 50% RSUs. The mix of 70% PSUs and 30% RSUs had been established in 2024 as being market aligned. By the time Mr. Barry was hired in June 2025, however, the compensation committee was beginning to consider shifting to a mix of 50% PSUs and 50% RSUs. In fiscal year 2026 (“FY26”), the Company intends to continue that shift to 50% of each for the NEOs other than the CEO, who will remain at 70% PSUs and 30% RSUs.
FY25 Award Grants
| NEO | Total FY25 LTIP | Target PSUs | RSUs | | Joe Ciaffoni | $18,902,204 | $14,176,645 | $4,725,559 | | Mark Crossley(1) | - | - | - | | Ryan Preblick | $2,233,190 | $1,594,738 | $638,452 | | Christian Heidbreder | $2,660,623 | $1,862,439 | $798,184 | | Pat Barry | $3,247,376 | $1,623,688 | $1,623,688 | | Jeff Burris | $2,319,595 | $1,623,688 | $695,907 | | Richard Simkin | $3,120,076 | $2,184,053 | $936,023 |
FY25 Award Grants
| (1) Mr. Crossley did not receive an LTIP award for FY25 due to his separation from the Company. |
FY25 Award Grants
Both the PSUs and RSUs vest, subject to continued employment (and subject to performance in the case of the PSUs) on the third anniversary of the grant date. The PSUs granted in 2025 to each of the NEOs (other than Mr. Ciaffoni) were granted with the following performance goals:
FY25 Award Grants
| Performance Measure | Weighting | Vesting Level for Below Lower Quartile Performance | Vesting Level for Lower Quartile Performance | Vesting Level for Upper Quartile Performance | | rTSR Nasdaq Biotech Index | 50% | 0% | 25% | 100% | | rTSR FTSE 250 | 20% | 0% | 25% | 100% | | U.S. Sublocade® Share of Long- Acting Injectables (“LAI”) | 15% | 0% | 25% | 100% | | LAI Category Growth | 15% | 0% | 25% | 100% |
FY25 Award Grants
The performance targets for U.S. SUBLOCADE® Share of LAI and LAI Category Growth will be established every year over the three-year grant period during the first quarter and aligned with the Company’s budget for that year. At the end of each year, performance will be measured using a trailing three-month average for U.S. SUBLOCADE® Share of LAI and using a full year for LAI Category Growth. These category share and category growth measures were selected as a measurement of the Company’s ability to grow sales for U.S. SUBLOCADE®. Relative total shareholder return (“rTSR”) was selected as a performance measure because it aligns with increased shareholder value. The FTSE 250 and the Nasdaq Biotech Index were selected because, at the time, the Company was dual listed on the London Stock Exchange (“LSE”) and Nasdaq. Subsequent to making the PSU grants, the Company determined that it would delist from the LSE, which was completed in July 2025. In-flight PSU awards from the 2023, 2024 and 2025 grants each contained performance metrics that included rTSR for the FTSE 250. Based upon discussion with Mercer and external advisors from Willis Towers Watson and in consideration of the Company’s efforts to redomicile to the U.S., the compensation committee determined that it would remove the FTSE 250 rTSR measurement for the 2025 award and would instead measure 70% on the Nasdaq Biotech Index, 15% on U.S. SUBLOCADE® Share of LAI category and 15% on LAI Category Growth. For the PSUs awarded in 2024, the compensation committee determined that it would measure solely on the TSR for the S&P 1500 Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology Index. For the PSUs awarded in 2023, the compensation committee determined that the FTSE 250 TSR measurement would remain in place since most of the vesting period occurred while Indivior was listed on the LSE. In February 2025, the compensation committee reviewed the performance of the 2022 PSU Award, which was based 50% on rTSR versus the FTSE 250 and 50% on rTSR versus the S&P 1500 Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology Index. The Company did not achieve the 25th percentile threshold under either measure and, therefore, the 2022 PSU awards were forfeited.
Employment Agreements
Employment Agreements Each of the NEOs is a party to an employment agreement with the Company. These agreements are intended to promote retention of our key executive officers in light of the highly competitive market for talent in our industry and to clearly define each party’s rights and obligations. Additional discussion about the terms of the employment agreement with each NEO is included below under “Narrative disclosure to summary compensation table and grants of plan-based awards table.”
Equity Grant Timing Practices
Equity Grant Timing Practices We do not time the grant of equity awards in coordination with the release of material non-public information. Annual equity awards are granted as of the date of the compensation committee’s first quarter meeting for the applicable year. The compensation committee has delegated authority to the CEO to make additional equity grants to newly hired or promoted employees who are not his direct reports or an executive officer, effective on the fifteenth calendar day of the month following the month in which the CEO approves such grants. During FY25, we did not grant stock options, stock appreciation rights or similar option-like instruments to any NEO during any period beginning four business days before and ending one business day after the filing of any Form 10-Q or 10-K, or the filing or furnishing of a Form 8-K that discloses material nonpublic information.

No additional PSUs were granted as a result of the modification. See Grants of plan-based awards table below for more details. For a discussion of the assumptions relating to these valuations, see Note 15 – Stock-based compensation, included in Item 8 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026. The amounts for the performance-based stock awards included in the stock awards column reflect the grant date fair value computed in accordance with ASC 718 based upon the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the grant date (i.e., the target level of performance). Assuming the highest level of performance achievement as of the grant date, the aggregate grant date fair value of the performance stock units granted in 2025 would have been: Mr. Ciaffoni —$28,353,290; Mr. Preblick — $3,189,476; Dr. Heidbreder — $3,724,878; Mr. Barry — $3,247,376; Mr. Burris —$3,247,580; and Mr. Simkin — $4,451,950. |

Nonqualified deferred compensation
The DCP provides selected members of management and other highly compensated employees in the United States, including our named executive officers, with an opportunity to defer the receipt of portions of their compensation. The DCP is intended to comply with section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The DCP allows highly compensated employees who are unable, due to limits that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, imposes on 401(k) plans, to save a proportionate amount of their eligible compensation for retirement within the 401(k) plan, to defer compensation in excess of IRS limits. Under the DCP, for each financial year, participants may elect to defer up to 75% of their base salary and up to 100% of their bonus. Employees hired before January 1, 2011 are eligible for a Company match on 401(k) deferrals in excess of the annual IRS limit up to 4.5% of eligible compensation. Amounts contributed to the DCP are invested in one or more investment options as elected by a participant or, absent such election, the committee administering the DCP. Participants can elect to have the benefits associated with compensation deferred in a financial year paid on June 1 of a year at least two financial years after the financial year in which such compensation was deferred. Otherwise, and subject to certain exceptions, benefits under the DCP are paid in a lump sum or in a fixed amount annually over a period not to exceed 10 years starting 60 days (or for certain employees, six months) after termination of employment of the participant.

The severance period is eighteen months following the termination of employment, except that, in the case of a termination during the period beginning three months prior to the date of a change in control and ending twelve months following the date of a change in control, the severance period is twenty-four months following the termination of employment. If Mr. Ciaffoni’s employment is terminated on account of his death or disability, he will receive a pro-rata portion of the annual bonus to which he would have been entitled in the year of termination. Mr. Preblick, Dr. Heidbreder, Mr. Barry and Mr. Burris. Under their respective employment agreements, in the event of termination without cause or for good reason, each of Mr. Preblick, Dr. Heidbreder, Mr. Barry and Mr. Burris would be entitled to receive (i) continued payment of his base salary for the severance period, payable in accordance with regular payroll, (ii) an amount equal to his target annual bonus for the severance period, payable in substantially equal installments, and (iii) a pro-rata portion of the annual bonus that would have been received for the year of termination based on the number of days of employment from the start of the calendar year until the date of termination, payable at the same time bonuses are paid to other employees. Additionally, during the severance period, each executive would be entitled to continue participating in our health benefits, subject to the terms of his employment agreement. The severance period is twelve months following the termination of employment, except that, in the case of a termination without cause or for good reason on or within twelve months following the date of a change in control, the severance period is twenty-four months following the termination of employment. If any of the executive’s employment is terminated on account of their death or disability, they will receive a pro-rata portion of the annual bonus to which he would have been entitled in the year of termination. Mr. Crossley. In connection with his resignation as Chief Executive Officer on May 8, 2025, we entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Crossley, pursuant to which Mr. Crossley received his annual bonus of $1,804,544 for fiscal 2025, as well as an additional bonus of $250,000. Pursuant to the terms of the separation agreement, Mr. Crossley is also eligible to receive (i) reimbursement of up to $50,000 for the cost of outplacement services and materials, (ii) tax return support through the 2027 tax year (valued at approximately $2,500 per year), and (iii) reimbursement of up to $40,000 for reasonable legal fees incurred in connection with his counsel’s review and negotiation of the separation agreement. Mr. Crossley remains employed by the Company through August 1, 2026 (the “Termination Date”) and continues to receive his full salary and benefits through the Termination Date, provided he is not entitled to receive any new awards under the LTIP. Mr. Crossley’s outstanding 2023 and 2024 LTIP awards will vest subject to performance conditions, without any reduction for pro-ration, and be released according to their respective schedules. Mr. Simkin. In connection with his retirement on May 30, 2025, Mr. Simkin received $20,000 as a retirement gift. Mr. Simkin’s outstanding RSUs on that date vested on a pro-rated basis based on his period of employment. The following tables illustrate the potential payments described above. Because the disclosures in the tables assume the occurrence of a termination as of a particular date and under a particular set of circumstances and therefore make a number of important assumptions, the actual amount to be paid to each of our NEOs upon a termination may vary significantly from the amounts included herein. Factors that could affect these amounts include the timing during the year of any such event, the continued availability of benefit policies at similar prices and the type of termination event that occurs. The following table shows the value to our named executive officers of benefits that would have been provided upon a termination without cause or for good reason that is not in connection with a change in control as of December 31, 2025. Mr. Crossley and Mr. Simkin are not included as they were not serving as named executive officers as of December 31, 2025.

Pay ratio disclosure
Pay ratio disclosure In accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K promulgated thereunder and the related SEC guidance, we are providing the following information about the relationship of our annual total compensation of our median employee to the annual aggregate total compensation of our CEO, Mr. Ciaffoni. For 2025, our last completed fiscal year:
Pay ratio disclosure
| ● | The annual total compensation for Mr. Ciaffoni was $18,871,100. |
Pay ratio disclosure
| ● | The median of the annual total compensation for all of our employees, other than Mr. Ciaffoni, was $129,375. |
Pay ratio disclosure
| ● | Based on the information above, the ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Ciaffoni to the median of the annual total compensation for all of our employees is 146 to 1. |
Pay ratio disclosure
The methodology that we used and the material assumptions, adjustments and estimates that we used to identify the median employee, determine annual total compensation for 2025, and calculate the pay ratio is as follows:
Pay ratio disclosure
| ● | The annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer was calculated based on compensation earned by Mr. Ciaffoni during fiscal 2025, as reported in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table included in this proxy statement, with adjustments for base salary. Because Mr. Ciaffoni began serving as our Chief Executive Officer on May 8, 2025, the base salary amount disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table for fiscal 2025 reflects a pro-rated amount of Mr. Ciaffoni’s annual base salary. In accordance with SEC rules, we utilized the annualized amount of Mr. Ciaffoni’s salary, which is $1,050,000, for purposes of calculating his annual total compensation for purposes of the pay ratio disclosure, rather than the pro-rated amount. |
Pay ratio disclosure
| ● | As of December 15, 2025, our total employee population for purposes of calculating the pay ratio disclosure, including all of our U.S. and international employees, both full-time and part-time, excluding Mr. Ciaffoni, was 945. We identified the median employee by reviewing compensation information from our payroll records and providers for all employees that were employed on December 15, 2025, based on total earnings for fiscal 2025. We converted the amount of compensation paid to non-U.S. employees to U.S. dollars using average foreign currency exchange rates for 2025. We did not make any cost-of-living adjustments or adjustments for part-time employees to calculate what they would have been paid on a full-time basis, nor did we annualize compensation. |
Pay ratio disclosure
Due to the assumptions, adjustments and estimates used in calculating the pay ratio, our pay ratio disclosure may not be comparable to the pay ratio disclosure presented by other companies.
Pay versus performance
Pay versus performance The following tables and related disclosures provide information about (i) the “total compensation” of our principal executive officers (the “PEOs”) and our other named executive officers (the “non-PEO Named Executive Officers”) as presented in the Summary Compensation Table on page 38 (the “SCT Amounts”), (ii) the “compensation actually paid” to our PEOs and our non-PEO Named Executive Officers, as calculated pursuant to the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rules (the “CAP Amounts”), (iii) certain financial performance measures, and (iv) the relationship of the CAP Amounts to those financial performance measures. This disclosure has been prepared in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and does not necessarily reflect value actually realized by the executives or how our Compensation Committee evaluates compensation decisions in light of company or individual performance.

Valuation assumptions used to calculate fair values did not materially differ from those used to calculate fair values at the applicable time of grant. PSU fair values as of December 31, 2025 reflect the modification that took place in 2025, as described in note 1 to the Summary Compensation Table above. (3) Reflects Nasdaq Biotech Index. (4) Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated as GAAP net income adjusted to exclude interest expense, interest income, income tax expense or benefit, depreciation and amortization, as well as share-based compensation and other adjustments reflecting changes in our business that do not represent ongoing operations, including corporate initiative transition, manufacturing transition, discontinuation of OPVEE sales and marketing, discontinuation of PERSERIS, acquisition-related costs, U.S. listing costs, contract termination fee, restructuring-severance and other, debt refinancing costs, legal costs/provision, and impairment of equity investment. The following table lists the three financial performance measures that, in our assessment, represent the most important performance measures we use to link the CAP Amounts for our named executive officers for 2025 (our most recently completed fiscal year), to company performance.

Pay versus performance
The following charts present a graphical comparison of executive compensation actually paid to our PEOs and the average executive compensation actually paid to the other NEOs set forth in the Pay Versus Performance table above, as compared against the following performance measures: the Company's (1) cumulative total shareholder return (TSR), (2) peer group TSR (Nasdaq Biotech Index), (3) net income, and (4) adjusted EBITDA. As presented, the following charts also compare the Company's cumulative TSR and peer group TSR. For each of the fiscal years shown, we believe the CAP Amounts for our PEOs and non-PEO Named Executive Officers were generally consistent with the changes in our TSR, peer group TSR, and adjusted EBITDA, reflecting the pay-for-performance approach applied by our Compensation Committee as discussed above.
Indemnification Agreement with our Directors and Officers
Indemnification Agreement with our Directors and Officers We have entered into, and intend to continue to enter into, indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws. These agreements, among other things, require us to indemnify our directors and executive officers for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or executive officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of our directors and/or executive officers or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request. We believe that these charter and bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our shareholders. A shareholder’s investment may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
