 Exhibit 10.14 

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

This EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), made as of this 12th day of January 2014, is entered into by Civitas
Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business at 190 Everett Avenue Chelsea, MA 02150 (the “Company”), and Mark Iwicki, residing at [—] (the
“Executive”). 
 In consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained in this Agreement, and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties to this Agreement, the parties agree as follows: 

1. Employment/Duties. During the Employment Period (as defined below), the Executive shall serve as President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company and shall have all the duties, responsibilities and authority commensurate with such position and such additional duties as may be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board of Directors”).
The Executive shall be based at the Company’s principal place of business in the greater Boston, Massachusetts metropolitan area, or such place or places in the continental United States as the Board of Directors shall determine. The Executive
shall report to, and be subject to the general supervision of, the Board of Directors. 
 The Executive agrees to devote substantially all
of his business time, attention and energies to the business and interests of the Company during the Employment Period; provided, however, that the Executive may be permitted to engage in other activities, including membership on
boards of directors of other businesses or non-for-profit organizations, so long as such activities do not materially interfere with the performance of the Executive’s duties under this Agreement and have been disclosed to and approved in
advance by the Board of Directors. The Executive’s service as a member on the board of directors of Blend Therapeutics, Inc. and Wellesley Youth Hockey shall be deemed to have been disclosed and approved by the Board of Directors. The Executive
agrees to abide by the rules, regulations, personnel practices and policies of the Company, as adopted and amended from time to time by the Company, provided, that such rules, regulations, practices and policies are not inconsistent with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and have been disclosed to the Executive. 
 Further, during the Employment Period, the Executive
shall be a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. 
 2. Effective Date/Period of Employment. Executive’s employment is
contingent upon the Executive starting work with the Company on or before February 15, 2014 (the commencement of work date is referred to herein as the “Effective Date”). Employment under this Agreement will become effective on
the Effective Date and shall continue until terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 (the “Employment Period”), subject to Section 9.13. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, because of
the requirements of the Immigration Reform and Control Act, the Executive’s employment shall not commence unless and until the Executive signs an I-9 Employment Verification Form and provides the Company with appropriate documents to establish
the Executive’s eligibility to work in the United States 







 
(for example, Social Security Card, Drivers’ License, U.S. Passport), and this Agreement shall terminate and be deemed void ab initio if such verification has not been completed on or
before February 13, 2014. 
 3. Compensation and Benefits. 

3.1. Base Salary. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay the Executive a base salary of $435,000.00 calculated on an annual
basis (as increased, “Base Salary”), paid in periodic installments in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices. The Base Salary shall be reviewed for increase no less frequently than annually, beginning at the
end of calendar year 2014. 
 3.2. Additional Compensation. 

(a) Annual Bonus Opportunity. During the Employment Period, the Executive may be eligible to receive an annual cash bonus no later than
sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar year, as determined by the Board of Directors (or its Compensation Committee) in its good faith discretion. The bonus (if any) will be awarded based on objective or subjective criteria established
by the Board of Directors (or its Compensation Committee). The Executive’s target bonus will be equal to 40% of the Executive’s Base Salary (the “Annual Bonus”). 

(b) Retention Payment. If on the six-month anniversary of the Effective Date the Executive remains employed by the Company, the Company
shall pay Executive a lump sum in an amount equal to $170,000 less the amount of 2013 annual bonus paid to the Executive by his current employer, which amount shall payable on the date of the Company’s then next regular payroll date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment shall still be due and made on such anniversary in the event of the Executive’s earlier termination without Cause (as defined below) or Disability (as defined below) by the Company, termination for
Good Reason (as defined below) by the Executive or death. 
 3.3. Equity Compensation. 

(a) Promptly following the Effective Date, the Board of Directors (or its Compensation Committee) shall grant to the Executive a stock option
to purchase 3,476,972 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Starting Option”), which share number currently represents 4.75% of the fully-diluted share capital of the Company, at an exercise price per share equal to the
fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith and in a manner in compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”). Such option shares will be granted as an incentive stock option to the extent permissible under the Code, with the balance of such option shares granted as a non-qualified stock option. Upon the termination of
Executive’s service to the Company for reasons other than death, disability or Cause, the right to exercise the Starting Option shall terminate six months after such termination (but in no event after the ten-year term of such Starting Option).
As a condition to receiving the Starting Option, the Executive must sign an Adoption Agreement to become bound by the Voting Agreement by and among the Company, each of the holders of the Company’s preferred stock, and certain holders of the
Company’s common stock (as a “Key Holder” under such Voting Agreement) and 

  
 -2- 








 
by the Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement by and among the Company, each of the holders of the Company’s preferred stock, and certain holders of the Company’s common stock (as
a “Key Holder” under such Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement). The Starting Option shall be governed by a stock option agreement (in the standard form for new employees approved by the Board of Directors), and shall be subject to
the provisions of the Company’s then-current stock incentive plan. The stock option agreement shall describe the vesting of the Starting Option, which shall be as follows: vesting over a four-year period, with 25% of the shares subject to the
Starting Option vesting one year after the date of the commencement of the Executive’s employment with the Company, and the remainder of the shares subject to the Starting Option vesting in equal amounts on a monthly basis over the subsequent
three years, until 100% of the Starting Option has become vested, provided that the Executive remains employed by the Company on each such vesting date. The stock option agreement shall also describe (i) notwithstanding Section 8(b)(2)(ii)
of the Company’s 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), a provision for full acceleration if an Acquisition (as defined below) occurs during the Employment Period or Executive is terminated in contemplation of such Acquisition
and (ii) a provision for 12-months acceleration of vesting upon Executive’s termination without Cause or for Good Reason. For purposes clarity, if in connection with a Reorganization Event (as defined in the Plan), the Board of Directors
provides written notice to the Executive that Executive’s unexercised options will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such Reorganization Event unless exercised by the Executive within a specified period following the date of
such notice, then the Starting Option shall be deemed to fully accelerate. 
 (b) In the event the Company consummates a sale of its capital
stock pursuant to a bona fide equity financing round or rounds prior to the one year anniversary of the Effective Date from which the Company receives gross proceeds of not less than $5,000,000 in the aggregate (with a look back once such amount is
exceeded) which is not pursuant to a public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended), the Board of Directors (or its Compensation Committee) shall grant to the Executive a stock option to purchase that number of shares of
the Company’s common stock so that Executive shall maintain an ownership level equal to 4.75% of the Company on a fully diluted basis (the “Anti-dilution Option”). Such option shares will be granted as an incentive stock option
to the extent permissible under the Code, with the balance of such option shares granted as a non-qualified stock option. Upon the termination of Executive’s service to the Company for reasons other than death, disability or Cause, the right to
exercise the Anti-dilution Option shall terminate six months after such termination (but in no event after the ten-year term of such Anti-dilution Option). The Anti- dilution Option shall be granted at an exercise price per share equal to the fair
market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith and in a manner in compliance with Section 409A of the Code. The Anti-dilution Option shall be governed by a stock
option agreement (in the standard form for new employees approved by the Board of Directors), and shall be subject to the provisions of the Company’s then-current stock incentive plan. The stock option agreement shall describe the vesting of
the Anti-dilution Option, which shall be as follows: vesting over a four-year period, with 25% of the shares subject to the Anti-dilution Option vesting at the same times as the Starting Option. The stock option agreement shall also describe
(i) notwithstanding Section 8(b)(2)(ii) of the Plan, a provision for full acceleration if an Acquisition occurs during the Employment Period or Executive is terminated in contemplation of such Acquisition and (ii) a provision for
12-months acceleration of vesting upon Executive’s termination without Cause or for Good Reason. For purposes clarity, 

  
 -3- 








 
if in connection with a Reorganization Event (as defined in the Plan), the Board of Directors provides written notice to the Executive that Executive’s unexercised options will terminate
immediately prior to the consummation of such Reorganization Event unless exercised by the Executive within a specified period following the date of such notice, then the Anti- dilution Option shall be deemed to fully accelerate. 

3.4. Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all benefit programs that the Company
makes available to its employees, if any, to the extent that Executive’s position, tenure, health and other qualifications make the Executive eligible to participate. The Executive shall be entitled to take four weeks of paid vacation
consistent with the company’s employee benefits policy in addition to customary business holidays approved by the Board of Directors for the Company’s employees generally. 

3.5. Reimbursement of Expenses. 

(a) The Company shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable travel, entertainment and other expenses incurred or paid by the Executive in
connection with, or related to, the performance of the Executive’s duties, responsibilities or services on behalf of the Company under this Agreement, in accordance with policies and procedures, and subject to reasonable limitations, adopted by
the Company from time to time. 
 (b) The Company shall reimburse the Executive for the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of
Executive’s counsel incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, in an amount not to exceed $10,000. 

3.6. Withholding. All salary, bonus and other compensation payable to the Executive during the Employment Period shall be subject to
applicable required deductions for state and federal withholding tax, social security and all other employment taxes and payroll deductions. 

4. Termination of Employment Period. The employment of the Executive by the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate upon the
occurrence of any of the following: 
 4.1. By the Company for Cause. At the election of the Company, for Cause, provided that prior
to a termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant to subsection (iii), below, the Executive shall have thirty (30) days to cure in all material respects such Cause event(s) following the Executive’s receipt of written notice by
the Company, which notice shall specifically identify the Cause upon which the termination is based and after the Executive has been given such notice. For the purposes of this Section 4.1, “Cause” means (i) the
Executive’s conviction of, or guilty plea to, a felony, (ii) the Executive’s commission of a fraudulent or materially dishonest act in connection with the Executive’s employment by the Company, or (iii) the Executive’s
willful and repeated failure or refusal to attempt to perform the Executive’s duties to the Company or material breach of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Company and the Executive in each case after written notice to Executive
and the failure to cure within twenty (20) days thereafter (unless such act or omission, by its nature, may not be remedied, in which case such determination of Cause may be effective immediately). The


  
 -4- 








 
Executive shall be considered to have been discharged for “Cause” if (based on a final, unappealable judicial determination) the Executive has resigned from the Company without Good
Reason to avoid a termination for Cause based on an event that occurred prior to such resignation (but not an event about which the Board of Directors had actual knowledge for more than ninety (90) days prior to such resignation).

4.3. By the Executive for Good Reason. At the election of the Executive, for Good Reason, provided that the Company shall have thirty

Reason” for termination shall mean (i) a reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary, (ii) any material diminution or other adverse change in the Executive’s authority, responsibilities or duties without the prior written
consent of the Executive, (iii) a material breach by the Company of this Agreement or any other material agreement between the Company and the Executive, (iv) the relocation, without the written consent of the Executive, of the place of
business at which the Executive principally performs Executive’s duties hereunder to a location that is greater than 35 miles from place of business at which the Executive principally performs Executive’s duties hereunder immediately prior
to such relocation, or (v) an Acquisition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the Executive will be deemed to have given consent to the condition(s) described in this Section 4.3 if the Executive does not provide written notice to the
Company of such Good Reason event(s) within ninety (90) days from first occurrence of such Good Reason event(s) and (B) to the extent the Company has not cured such Good Reason event(s) during the 30-day cure period, the Executive must
terminate the Executive’s employment for Good Reason no later than one hundred and eighty (180) days following the occurrence of such Good Reason event(s) by providing the Company thirty (30) days prior written notice of termination,
which may run concurrently with the Company’s cure period.

mere reincorporation transaction), (B) the closing of the transfer from existing Company stockholder’s, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a Person or group of affiliated Persons, of the Company’s securities
if, after such closing, such Person or group of affiliated Persons would hold more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company or (C) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company by a Person not an Affiliate
of the Company; provided, however, that an “Acquisition” shall not include an initial public offering of the Company’s stock or a mere recapitalization transaction or the sale of equity by the Company through a private offering of
shares to venture capital, institutional, strategic or other equity security financing for the account of the Company.

 For purposes of this Agreement, an “Affiliate” means with respect to a specified Person, any Person
that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the specified Person (as used in this definition, the term “control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the

 For purposes
of this Agreement, a “Person” shall mean any individual, company, corporation, association, partnership (general or limited), joint venture, trust, estate, limited liability company or other legal entity or organization.

(ii) any unreimbursed expenses incurred through the last day of the Executive’s actual employment by the Company and reimbursable under Section 3.5; (iii) all other payments, benefits or fringe benefits to which the Executive
shall be entitled under the terms of any applicable compensation arrangement or benefit, equity or fringe benefit plan or program or grant or this Agreement; but, for clarity, shall have no obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 3.2;
and (iv) in the case of death, Disability termination, without Cause termination or Good Reason termination, a pro rata bonus paid sixty (60) days after termination based on the target Annual Bonus and the period of the year during which
the Executive was employed. 
 (b) In the event the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Sections 4.2, 4.3 or by the
Company pursuant to Section 4.4, then the Company shall pay to the Executive: (i) the Accrued Benefits; (ii) any unpaid annual bonus with respect to the calendar year ending on or preceding the date of termination, which shall be
payable at the time such bonuses would have been paid if the Executive was still employed with the Company and in accordance with Section 3.2(a); (iii) the Base Salary pursuant to Section 3.1 as in effect on the date of termination,
which amount shall be paid during the Severance Period (as defined below); (iv) the target Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which the Executive’s employment is terminated, which aggregate amount shall be payable in equal amounts in
accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures over the course of the Severance Period, and (v) reimbursement for COBRA continuation medical benefits for the Executive (and the Executive’s eligible dependents) during the
Severance Period. The payments under subparts (iii), (iv) and (v)

  
 -6-

avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise elected by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion and to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code, to make payments sooner, any payments made pursuant to this Section 5.1(b) shall be
subject to the Company’s standard payroll schedule during the Severance Period. For the purposes of this Section 5.1(b), “Severance Period” means the period beginning on the date of termination and continuing afterward for
twelve (12) months. 
 (c) The payments to be made or benefits to be provided to the Executive under paragraph (b) above other
than Accrued Benefits: (i) shall be contingent upon the execution (and non-revocation) within sixty (60) days following termination of employment by the Executive of a general release of the Company, its affiliates, stockholders,
directors, officers, employees and agents from all claims (other than claims for the payments to be made and benefits to be provided), together with a mutual agreement to not make any disparaging comments, statements or communications about the
Executive, the Company, its affiliates, stockholders, directors, officers, employees or agents, or its management or business practices for three (3) years following termination of the Executive’s employment, all in substantially the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit A; (ii) shall be contingent upon the Executive’s material compliance with all material continuing obligations under the Company’s standard Employee Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation, Confidentiality
and Assignment Agreement (the “Proprietary Rights Agreement”); and (iii) shall constitute the sole remedy of the Executive in the event of a termination of the Executive’s employment in the circumstances set forth in
Section 5.1(b). 
 5.2. Section 409A. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no severance pay or benefits to be paid or provided to the Executive, if any,
pursuant to this Agreement that, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits, are considered deferred compensation under Code Section 409A, and the final regulations and any guidance promulgated thereunder
(collectively, the “Deferred Payments”) will be paid or otherwise provided until the Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of
Code Section 409A at the time of the Executive’s termination (other than due to death), then the Deferred Payments that are payable within the first six months following the Executive’s separation from service, will become payable on
the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date six months and one day following the date of the Executive’s separation from service. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Executive dies following the Employee’s
separation from service, but prior to the six-month anniversary of the separation from service, then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of the
Executive’s death. Each payment and benefit payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. 

  
 -7- 








 (c) Any amount paid under this Agreement that satisfies the requirements of the “short-term
deferral” rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations will not constitute Deferred Payments. 
 (d) This
Agreement is intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A or compliant therewith so that none of the payments and benefits to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and
any ambiguities herein will be interpreted accordingly. The Company and the Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to
avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to the Executive under Section 409A. 
 6.
Restrictive Covenants. During the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive will be exposed to, and provided with, valuable confidential and/or trade secret information concerning the Company and its present and future
business plans and operations. As a result, in order to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests, the Executive shall, as a condition of commencing employment, execute and deliver to the Company the Company’s standard
Proprietary Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B. For clarity, the obligations and covenants of the Executive pursuant to the Proprietary Rights Agreement constitute material responsibilities of the
Executive to the Company pursuant to this Agreement. 
 7. Other Agreements. The Executive represents that the Executive’s
performance of all the terms of this Agreement and the performance of the Executive’s duties as an employee of the Company do not and will not breach any agreement with any prior employer or other party to which the Executive is a party
(including without limitation any nondisclosure or non- competition agreement), or violate or contravene any judgment, administrative order or other legal prohibition specifically naming the Executive. The Executive agrees that if the Executive,
during the Employment Period, becomes subject to any such agreement or prohibition, the Executive shall immediately notify the Company. The Company acknowledges that it is aware that the Executive may be subject to certain confidentiality and
non-disparagement covenants with respect to the Executive’s prior employers. 
 8. Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify
and hold harmless the Executive against any liability asserted against or incurred by the Executive in the Executive’s capacity as a director, officer and/or employee of the Company or an affiliate of the Company or as fiduciary of any Company
employee benefit plan to the fullest extent permitted by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall have no right to indemnification on account of: (a) acts or omissions of the Executive finally adjudged to be intentional
misconduct, gross negligence, fraud or a violation of law; or (b) any transaction with respect to which it is finally adjudged that the Executive personally received a benefit in money, property or services to which the Executive was not
legally entitled. In addition, the Company shall include the Executive within the coverage of any directors and officers liability insurance policy to the full extent that any other director or other executive officer of the Company, as applicable,
is so covered. The indemnification and insurance provisions of this paragraph shall survive the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company and while potential liability exists.

of both parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any corporation with which, or into which, the Company may be merged or which may succeed to the Company’s assets or business, provided, however, that the

9.13. Survival. The provisions of Sections 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

9.14. 280G. 
 (a) If any
payment or benefit (including payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement) that Executive would receive in connection with a Acquisition from the Company or otherwise (“Transaction Payment”) would (a) constitute a
“parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this Section 9.14, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the
Company shall cause to be determined, before any amounts of the Transaction Payment are paid to Executive, 

  
 -10- 








 
which of the following two alternative forms of payment would result in Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Transaction Payment notwithstanding that all
or some portion of the Transaction Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax: (1) payment in full of the entire amount of the Transaction Payment (a “Full Payment”), or (2) payment of only a part of the Transaction Payment
so that Executive receives the largest payment possible without the imposition of the Excise Tax (a “Reduced Payment”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at Executive’s election and in lieu of the foregoing, if Executive executes
a waiver of the portion of such excess parachute payment such that all non-waived payments would not be subject to the Excise Tax, the Company shall agree to seek approval of its stockholders in a manner that complies with Section 280G(b)(5)(B)
of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1 such that if such stockholder approval is obtained, the waived payments shall be restored. 

For purposes of determining whether to make a Full Payment or a Reduced Payment, the Company shall cause to be taken into account all
applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from a deduction of such state and
local taxes). If a Reduced Payment is made, (x) Executive shall have no rights to any additional payments and/or benefits constituting the Transaction Payment, and (y) reduction in payments and/or benefits shall occur in the manner that
results in the greatest economic benefit to Executive as determined in this paragraph. If more than one method of reduction will result in the same economic benefit, the portions of the Payment shall be reduced pro rata. 

(b) The independent registered public accounting firm engaged by the Company as of the day prior to the effective date of the Acquisition
shall make all determinations required to be made under this Section 9.14. If the independent registered public accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the
Acquisition, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized independent registered public accounting firm that is reasonably acceptable to Executive (and such acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld) to make the determinations required
hereunder. The Company shall bear all reasonable expenses with respect to the determinations by such independent registered public accounting firm required to be made hereunder. The independent registered public accounting firm engaged to make the
determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Company and Executive within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which Executive’s right to a Transaction Payment is
triggered or such other time as reasonably requested by the Company or Executive. If the independent registered public accounting firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable with respect to the Transaction Payment, either before or after the
application of the Reduced Amount, it shall furnish the Company and Executive with detailed supporting calculations of its determinations that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to such Transaction Payment. Any good faith determinations of
the accounting firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and Executive.

 General Release








 Exhibit 

FORM OF GENERAL RELEASE 

Mark Iwicki (“Employee”), in consideration for receiving the severance benefits described in Section 5.1(b) of that
certain Executive Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) between Employee and Civitas Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Employer”), does hereby fully release the Employer, including all of its past, present and
future directors, members, officers, stockholders, employees, agents, affiliates and representatives, from any and all claims of every kind and nature whatsoever, known or unknown, either at law or in equity, arising out of or related to his
employment with, service to, or engagement with the Employer and/or termination of employment or pursuant to any federal, state or local laws, regulations, executive orders or other requirements, including but not limited to claims regarding wages
and hours pursuant to the Massachusetts Wage Act, M.G.L. c. 149, §§148, et seq., the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, any claims arising out of any employment agreement entered into by Employee and Employer and any claims of
discrimination based upon race, color, sex, age, religion, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, disability, handicap, status as a Vietnam Era Veteran, or any other protected classification; provided, however, that nothing in this release
shall operate to limit or negate Employee’s rights, if any, (i) to indemnification (and advancement of legal fees) by the Company for any acts or omissions taken by Employee in good faith as an officer or director of the Company or as a
fiduciary of any benefit plan of the Company; (ii) to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance; (iii) to any vested equity and any rights set forth in agreements related thereto; or (iv) to post-termination compensation
and benefits to which Employee is entitled under his employment agreement with Employer. 
 Employee represents that he understands the
various claims he could have asserted under M.G.L. c. 151B, M.G.L. c. 149, the American with Disabilities Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination In Employment Act, and other such similar laws; that he has read this
Release carefully and understands all of its provisions; that he understands that he has the right to and is advised to consult an attorney concerning this Release and in particular the waiver of rights he might have under these laws; that to the
extent, if any, that he desired, he has availed himself of this right; that the consideration received by him is above and beyond the payments or benefits otherwise owed to him under the terms of him employment with the Employer or required by law;
that he has, pursuant to the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, been provided at least twenty-one (21) days to consider whether to sign this Release; and that he enters this Release and waives any claims knowingly and willingly. 

In addition to the foregoing, Employee hereby agrees he is waiving all rights under Paragraph 1542 of the California Civil Code (or any
analogous law of any other state), which reads as follow: 
 “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not
know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” 







 This Release will not affect the rights and responsibilities of the U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) to enforce the ADEA and other laws, but Employee understands that he is knowingly and voluntarily waiving all rights or claims arising prior to his execution of the Release to receive any payment,
benefit or remedial relief as a consequence of any charge filed with the EEOC and/or of any litigation concerning any facts alleged in any such charge. 

Employee acknowledges and agrees that, but for providing this general release, Employee would not be receiving the benefits described in
5.1(b) of the Employment Agreement. 
 Employee agrees that for three (3) years following his termination from the Employer, he will
not make any statements that are disparaging or adverse to the Employer, its affiliates, stockholders holding more than 5% of the Employer’s outstanding capital stock, directors, officers, or employees, or its management or business practices.

skills, work performance, capabilities or other aspect of Employee’s service as an employee of the Employer; provided, that these provisions shall not prohibit any party (A) from disclosing that Employee is no longer employed by the
Employer; (B) from responding truthfully to any governmental investigation, legal process or related inquiry; (C) from making reasonable competitive statements in the course of promoting a competing business, so long as any statements
described in this clause (C) do not violate the Invention, Non-Disclosure, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement between the Employee and Employer, dated January     , 2014, or (D) making a good faith
rebuttal of another person’s untrue or misleading statement. 
 This Release will become effective seven (7) days after it is
signed. Employee may revoke this Release within seven (7) days after it is signed, and it will not become effective or enforceable until this seven (7) day revocation period has expired. After the revocation period has expired, this
Release will be forever binding on the Employee. The Employee acknowledges that he may hereafter discover facts not now known to him relating to his hire, employment or termination of employment, and agrees that this Release will remain in effect
notwithstanding any such discovery of any such facts. The Employee will not bring any proceeding to challenge the validity of this Release.

Exhibit B 
 Proprietary
Rights Agreement 







 INVENTION, NON-DISCLOSURE, NON-COMPETITION 

AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT 

This Agreement (“Agreement”) is made by and between Civitas Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to
collectively with its subsidiaries as the “Company”), and Mark Iwicki (the “Employee”). 
 In consideration of the
continued employment of the Employee by the Employee agree as follows: 
 1. Condition of Employment. 

The Employee acknowledges that his/her employment and/or the continuance of that employment with the Company, the bonus or other monetary
consideration that the Employee will receive at the commencement of his/her employment and/or in connection with entering into this Agreement, any options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock- based awards granted at any time to
the Employee by the Company, and the Company’s receipt of funding from the Investors are contingent upon his/her agreement to sign and adhere to the provisions of this Agreement. The Employee further acknowledges that his employment will
require the Company share with him proprietary and confidential information of the Company and that the nature of the Company’s business is such that protection of its proprietary and confidential information is critical to the survival and
success of the Company’s business. This Agreement is intended to protect the Company’s proprietary and confidential information and business without unreasonably restricting the Employee’s ability to work elsewhere if his/her
employment with the Company ends. The Employee agrees to be bound by this Agreement in circumstances of both voluntary and involuntary termination of employment, and regardless of whether additional severance compensation is paid by the Company.

 2. Proprietary and Confidential Information. 

(a) The Employee agrees that all information and know-how, whether or not in writing, of a private, secret or confidential nature concerning
the Company’s business or financial affairs (collectively, “Proprietary Information”) is and shall be the exclusive property of the Company. By way of illustration, but not limitation, Proprietary Information may include discoveries,
inventions, products, product improvements, product enhancements, processes, methods, techniques, formulas, compositions, compounds, negotiation strategies and positions, projects, developments, plans (including business and marketing plans),
research data, clinical data, financial data (including sales costs, profits, pricing methods), personnel data, computer programs (including software used pursuant to a license agreement), customer, prospect and supplier lists, and contacts at or
knowledge of customers or prospective customers of the Company. The Employee will not disclose any Proprietary Information to any person or entity other than employees of the Company or use the same for any purposes (other than in the performance of
his/her duties as an employee of the Company) without written approval by an officer of the Company, either during or after his/her employment with the Company, unless and until such Proprietary Information has become public knowledge without fault
by the Employee. While employed by the Company, the Employee will use the Employee’s best efforts to prevent unauthorized publication or disclosure of any of the Company’s Proprietary Information. 







 (b) The Employee agrees that all files, documents, letters, memoranda, reports, records, data,
sketches, diagrams, drawings, models, laboratory notebooks, program listings, computer equipment or devices, formulations, manufacturing equipment and layouts, methods, computer programs or other written, electronic, photographic, or other tangible
or intangible material containing Proprietary Information, whether created by the Employee or others, which shall come into his/her custody or possession, shall be and are the exclusive property of the Company to be used by the Employee only in the
performance of his/her duties for the Company and shall not be copied or removed from the Company premises except in the pursuit of the business of the Company. All such materials or copies thereof and all tangible property of the Company in the
custody or possession of the Employee shall be delivered to the Company, upon the earlier of (i) a request by the Company or (ii) termination of his/her employment. After such delivery, the Employee shall not retain any such materials or
copies thereof or any such tangible property. The foregoing shall not cover contact information in Employee’s address books, which Employee may retain and utilize. 

(c) The Employee agrees that his/her obligation not to disclose or to use information and materials of the types set forth in paragraphs 2(a)
and 2(b) above, and his/her obligation to return materials and tangible property, set forth in paragraph 2(b) above, also extends to such types of information, materials and tangible property of customers of the Company or suppliers to the Company
or other third parties who may have disclosed or entrusted the same to the Company or to the Employee in the course of the Company’s business. 

(d) However, in the event that the Employee (i) is required, by court or administrative or regulatory order, or any governmental
regulator with jurisdiction over the Employee, to disclose any portion of the Proprietary Information or (ii) is asked to or seeks to enter into evidence or otherwise voluntarily disclose in any administrative, judicial, quasi- judicial or
arbitral proceeding, any portion of the Proprietary Information, the Employee shall provide the Company with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement prior to the disclosure of Proprietary Information, so the Company may, at the
Company’s expense, seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy to prohibit or to limit such disclosure. If, in the absence of a protective order, the Employee is nonetheless compelled to disclose any Proprietary Information, the
Employee shall as soon as practicable thereafter advise the Company of the Proprietary Information so disclosed and the persons to whom it was so disclosed, and thereafter, may disclose only such portions of the Proprietary Information that are
legally required to be disclosed. 
 3. Developments. 

(a) The Employee will make full and prompt disclosure to the Company of all discoveries, inventions, improvements, enhancements, processes,
methods, techniques, developments, designs, layouts, diagrams, prototypes, formulations, equipment, articles of manufacture, compositions of matter, software, and works of authorship, whether patentable or not, (i) which have been created,
made, conceived or reduced to practice by the Employee or under his/her direction or jointly with others prior to the date hereof and which relate directly or 

  
 -2- 








 
indirectly to the Company’s proposed business, products or research and development, (ii) which are created, made, conceived or reduced to practice by him/her or under his/her direction
or jointly with others during his/her employment by the Company, whether or not during normal working hours or on the premises of the Company, or (iii) which are created, made, conceived or reduced to practice by him/her or under his/her
direction or jointly with others using the Company’s tools, devices, equipment or Proprietary Information (all of which are collectively referred to in this Agreement as “Developments”). 

(b) The Employee agrees to assign and does hereby assign to the Company (or any person or entity designated by the Company) all his/her right,
title and interest in and to all Developments and all related patents, patent applications, copyrights and copyright applications and other intellectual property rights therein. However, this paragraph 3(b) shall not apply to Developments (described
in clauses 3(a)(ii) and 3(a)(iii) above) which do not relate to the business or research and development conducted or planned to be conducted by the Company at the time such Development is created, made, conceived or reduced to practice and which
are made and conceived by the Employee outside of normal working hours, off of the Company’s premises and without using the Company’s tools, devices, equipment or Proprietary Information. The Employee understands that, to the extent this
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of any state which precludes a requirement in an employee agreement to assign certain classes of inventions made by an employee, this paragraph 3(b) shall be interpreted not to apply to any
invention which a court rules and/or the Company agrees falls within such classes. The Employee also hereby waives all claims to moral rights in any Developments. 

(c) All Developments related to any patent, copyright, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights, and related to or useful in the
Company’s business, worked on by the Employee while the Employee is employed by the Company and for a period of one year after the termination or cessation of such employment for any reason shall be presumed to have been created, made,
conceived or reduced to practice during the Employee’s employment with the Company and shall therefore be deemed a Development; provided however that the Employee may overcome the presumption with respect to the period of one year after the
termination or cessation of employment by proving that such creation, making, conception or reduction to practice occurred only following termination of his or her employment with the Company and without the use of the Company’s tools, devices,
equipment or Proprietary Information. 
 (d) The Employee agrees to cooperate fully with the Company, both during and after his/her
employment with the Company, at the Company’s expense, with respect to the procurement, maintenance and enforcement of copyrights, patents and other intellectual property rights (both in the United States and foreign countries) relating to
Developments. The Employee shall sign all papers, including, without limitation, copyright applications, patent applications, declarations, oaths, formal assignments, assignments of priority rights, and powers of attorney, which the Company may deem
necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in any Development. 

  
 -3- 








 4. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. While the Employee is employed by the Company and
for a period of one year after the termination or cessation of such employment for any reason, the Employee will not directly or indirectly: 

(a) Engage or assist others in engaging in any Competing Organization (whether as owner, partner, officer, director, employee, consultant,
investor, lender or otherwise, except as the holder of not more than 1% of the outstanding stock of a publicly-held company). 
 The term “Competing
Organization” means any person, entity or organization engaged in, or about to become engaged in, research on or the acquisition, development, production, distribution, marketing, or providing of a product, process or service that competes or
is reasonably expected to compete with a material product, process or service of the Company or being developed by the Company, but specifically excludes pulmonary delivery therapies utilized in products, processes or services not substantially
similar to those produced, marketed, distributed or developed by the Company. However, this paragraph 4(a) shall not preclude the Employee from (i) becoming an employee of, consultant to, or from otherwise providing services to, a separate
division or operating unit of a multi-divisional business or enterprise (a “Division”) if (x) the Division by which the Employee is employed or engaged, or to which the Employee provides services, is not (if treated by itself as an
independent entity) a Competing Organization, and (y) the Employee does not provide services, directly or indirectly, to any other division or operating unit of such multi-divisional business or enterprise that is a Competing Organization (if
treated by itself as an independent entity) or (ii) becoming an employee in the capacity as a senior executive of a multi-divisional business or enterprise that includes within its organizational structure a business unit that is a Competing
Organization (a “Unit”), provided that Employee does not have day to day supervisory or first line decision-making authority with regard to such Unit. 

(b) Either alone or in association with others, solicit, divert or take away, or attempt to divert or take away, the business or patronage of
any of the clients, customers, or business partners of the Company that were materially contacted, solicited, or served by the Employee directly or the Company during the 12-month period prior to the termination or cessation of the Employee’s
employment with the Company; or 
 (c) Either alone or in association with others (i) solicit, induce or attempt to induce, any
employee or independent contractor of the Company to terminate his or her employment or other engagement with the Company, or (ii) solicit or attempt to solicit any person who was employed or otherwise engaged by the Company at any time during
the term of the Employee’s employment with the Company; provided, that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the solicitation of any individual whose employment or other engagement with the Company has been terminated for a period of
six months or longer or who was terminated by the Company involuntarily. However, this paragraph 4(c) shall not apply to (I) general advertising or solicitation not specifically targeted at the Company, its employees or independent contractors,
(II) the Employee serving as a reference, upon request, for any employee or independent contractor of the Company, and (III) actions taken by any person or entity with which the Employee is associated if the Employee is not personally involved in
any manner in the hiring, recruitment, solicitation or engagement of any such individual (including but not limited to identifying any such individual for hiring, recruitment, solicitation or engagement). 

  
 -4- 








 5. Other Agreements. 

The Employee represents that, except as the Employee has disclosed in writing to the Company, the Employee is not bound by the terms of any
agreement with any previous employer or other party to refrain from using or disclosing any trade secret or confidential or proprietary information in the course of his/her employment with the Company, to refrain from competing, directly or
indirectly, with the business of such previous employer or any other party or to refrain from soliciting employees, customers or suppliers of such previous employer or other party. The Employee further represents that his/her performance of all the
terms of this Agreement and the performance of his/her duties as an employee of the Company do not and will not conflict with or breach any agreement with any prior employer or other party to which the Employee is a party (including without
limitation any nondisclosure or non-competition agreement), and that the Employee will not disclose to the Company or induce the Company to use any confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any previous employer or others.

 6. United States Government Obligations. 

The Employee acknowledges that the Company from time to time may have agreements with other persons or with the United States Government, or
agencies thereof, which impose obligations or restrictions on the Company regarding inventions made during the course of work under such agreements or regarding the confidential nature of such work. The Employee agrees to be bound by all such
obligations and restrictions that are made known to the Employee and to take all action necessary to discharge the obligations of the Company under such agreements. 

7. Miscellaneous. 
 (a)
Equitable Remedies. The restrictions contained in this Agreement are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and are considered by the Employee to be reasonable for such purpose. The Employee agrees that any
breach of this Agreement is likely to cause the Company substantial and irrevocable damage that is difficult to measure. Therefore, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Employee agrees that the Company, in addition to such other
remedies which may be available, shall have the right to obtain an injunction from a court restraining such a breach or threatened breach and the right to specific performance of the provisions of this Agreement and the Employee hereby waives the
adequacy of a remedy at law as a defense to such relief. 
 (b) Obligations to Third Parties. The Employee acknowledges and
represents that this agreement and the Employee’s employment with the Company will not violate any continuing obligation the Employee has to any former employer or other third party. 

(c) Disclosure of this Agreement. The Employee hereby authorizes the Company to notify others, including but not limited to customers
of the Company and any of the Employee’s future employers or prospective business associates, of the terms and existence of this Agreement and the Employee’s continuing obligations to the Company hereunder. 

  
 -5- 








 (d) No Employment Contract and No License. The Employee acknowledges that this Agreement
does not constitute a contract of employment, does not imply that the Company will continue his/her employment for any period of time and does not change the at- will nature of his/her employment. The Employee further acknowledges that no license to
any of the Company’s trademarks, patents, copyrights or other proprietary rights is either granted or implied by the Employee’s access to and utilization of the Proprietary Information or Developments. 

(e) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of both parties and their respective
successors and assigns, including any corporation with which, or into which, the Company may be merged or which may succeed to the Company’s assets or business, provided, however, that the obligations of the Employee are personal and shall not
be assigned by him or her and the Company may assign its rights under Section 4 only to a successor to all or substantially all of its business. The Employee expressly consents to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement for the benefit of
the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof to whose employ the Employee may be transferred without the necessity that this Agreement be re-signed at the time of such transfer, provided that the provisions of Section 4 shall be limited
to the products, processes, services, clients, customers, business partners, employees, former employees, contractors and former contractors of the Company and not the acquiror. 

(f) Interpretation. If any restriction set forth in Section 4 is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable
because it extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it
may be enforceable. 
 (g) Severability. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or otherwise
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 (h)
Waivers. No delay or omission by the Company in exercising any right under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of that or any other right. A waiver or consent given by the Company on any one occasion is effective only in that instance and
will not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right on any other occasion. 
 (i) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (without reference to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof). Any action, suit, or other legal proceeding that is commenced to resolve any matter arising
under or relating to any provision of this Agreement shall be commenced only in a court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (or, if appropriate, a federal court located within Massachusetts), and the Company and the Employee each consents to the
jurisdiction of such a court. The Company and the Employee each hereby irrevocably waive any right to a trial by jury in any action, suit or other legal proceeding arising under or relating to any provision of this Agreement. 

(j) Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, between the Employee and the Company
relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified, changed or discharged in whole or in part, except by an agreement in writing signed by the Employee and the Company. The Employee agrees that any change or changes
in his/her duties, salary or compensation after the signing of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement.

 (k) Captions. The captions of the sections of this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and in no way define, limit or affect the scope or substance of any section of this Agreement. 
 (l) Application in
California. While the Employee is employed by the Company in California, and following the termination or cessation of such employment if the Employee is employed by the Company in California at the time of such termination or cessation,
(i) the post-employment aspects of paragraph 3(c) and paragraph 4(a) shall be disregarded, and shall not apply to the Employee, and (ii) the post-employment aspects of paragraph 4(b) shall be disregarded, and shall not apply to the
Employee, provided however that the Employee shall not directly or indirectly use Proprietary Information to engage in activities described in paragraph 4(b).
