Jill Henrich

We entered into an executive employment agreement with Ms. Henrich in August 2020 (the “Henrich Employment Agreement”) in connection with her joining the Company as our Senior Vice President, Global Regulatory Affairs. Mr. Henrich was promoted to Executive Vice President, Global Head, Regulatory Affairs and Quality in May 2023. In March 2025, Ms. Henrich resigned from the Company and in connection with her resignation, we entered into a Separation Agreement (the “Henrich Separation Agreement”) which superseded and replaced the Henrich Employment Agreement, and pursuant to which she will provide consulting services to the Company from March 31, 2025 through December 31, 2025 at an hourly rate and receive severance payments and benefits consistent with a termination of employment without cause under the Henrich Employment Agreement. The Henrich Separation Agreement also provided for continued vesting during the consulting term of Ms. Henrich’s outstanding equity awards.

Under the Henrich Employment Agreement and the agreements governing her equity awards, she was entitled to certain benefits in the event of a termination of employment without cause or resignation for good reason. In the event Ms. Henrich’s employment was terminated by us without cause or she resigns for good reason, in either case, unrelated to a change in control (other than as a result of her death or disability), she was entitled to receive the following benefits:

Severance pay in the form of the continuation of her final annual base salary for 12 months following termination; and

Either (a) subject to Ms. Henrich’s timely election for continued coverage under COBRA, payment by us of her COBRA premiums for up to 12 months following her termination of employment or (b) if Ms. Henrich is not entitled to COBRA continuation coverage or if we determine that we cannot pay her COBRA premiums without potentially incurring financial costs or penalties under applicable law, payment by us to Ms. Henrich of a fully taxable cash payment equal to the applicable COBRA premiums on the first of each month for up to 12 months following her termination of employment.

In addition, in the event Ms. Henrich’s employment was terminated by us without cause (other than as a result of her death or disability) or as a result of a resignation for good reason, in either case, during the change in control period, she was entitled to receive the following payments and benefits:
