 RULES OF THE 

GW PHARMACEUTICALS PLC 2020 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 
  

	1.	 INTRODUCTION 



The Plan is a discretionary benefit offered by GW Pharmaceuticals plc for the benefit of employees, directors and consultants of its group. Its
main purpose is to increase the interest of such people in GW Pharmaceuticals plc’s long-term business goals and performance through share ownership. The Plan is an incentive for their future performance and commitment to the goals of the GW
Pharmaceuticals group. 
 The Plan allows for the grant of Awards in the form of: 

 

	 	(a)	 Conditional Awards, which are rights to receive Shares for free automatically to the extent the Award Vests;
and 


  

	 	(b)	 Options, which are Awards under which the Participant can buy Shares, to the extent the Award has Vested,
during the Exercise Period at a price (which may be zero) set when the Option is granted. 


 The Plan also provides (in
Rule 3 (Investment Shares) for invitations to be made to Participants to acquire Investment Shares. Where a Participant acquires Investment Shares, he will also be granted a Matching Award (which may be either a Conditional Award or an
Option). 
 Awards which are not Matching Awards are termed Incentive Awards. 

Share-based Awards may be settled in cash under Rule 9 (Cash Alternative), and Awards which may only be settled in cash may be granted
under Schedule 1 (Cash Conditional Awards). 
 Options may be granted to eligible US Taxpayers that qualify ISO Options, to the extent
permitted or desirable. Only employees of the Company and any “subsidiary” of the Company (as such term is defined in Section 424(f) of the IRS Code, respectively), shall be eligible to receive ISO Options on such terms established by
the Committee in compliance with the requirements of Section 422 of the IRS Code.

	 	(c)	 by such other method as the Committee decides that will enable it to monitor ownership of the Investment
Shares.


  

	3.4	 Variation of share capital – Investment Shares 



Unless the Committee decides otherwise, if: 
  

	 	(a)	 a Participant acquires any further Shares by virtue of his holding of Investment Shares under a variation of
share capital of the Company then he may add those Shares to his holding of Investment Shares; 


  

	 	(b)	 a Participant receives a special dividend by virtue of his holding of Investment Shares, he may purchase
further Shares with the dividend and add those Shares to his holding of Investment Shares; 


  

	 	(c)	 a Participant receives securities other than Shares by virtue of his holding of Investment Shares, he may sell
(or where appropriate redeem) those securities and use the proceeds to purchase further Shares which may be added to his holding of Investment Shares

	3.5	 Voting and dividend rights 



While a Participant’s Investment Shares are held for the purposes of the Plan, he shall be entitled to exercise full voting rights in
respect of those Investment Shares and receive any dividends declared by reference to the dividend record dates falling after the date of acquisition of the Investment Shares.

On or as soon as practicable after the Vesting or lapse of a Matching Award, the Committee shall transfer or procure the transfer of: 

 

	 	(a)	 the legal title for the Investment Shares related to the Award; and/or 



 

	 	(b)	 any documents of title relating to those Investment Shares 



to the Participant (or his nominee). 
  

	4.	 GRANT OF AWARDS 



 

	4.1	 Terms of grant 



Subject to Rule 4.6 (Timing of grant), Rule 4.7 (Approvals and consents) and Rule 5 (Limits), the Committee may
resolve to grant an Award on: 
  

	 	(a)	 the terms set out in the Plan; and 



 

	 	(b)	 such additional terms (whether a Performance Condition and/or any other terms) as the Committee may specify



 to, in the case of an Incentive Award, such Eligible Persons as it decides and, in the case of a Matching Award, to
those Eligible Persons who have acquired Investment Shares. 

  
 -7- 














	4.2	 Type of Award 



On or before the Grant Date, the Committee shall determine whether an Award shall be: 

 

	 	(a)	 granted in relation to Ordinary Shares or ADSs; 



 

	 	(b)	 an Incentive Award or a Matching Award; 



 

	 	(c)	 in the form of a Conditional Award or an Option; 



 

	 	(d)	 if granted as an Option, whether it is a Regular Option (and if granted to a US Taxpayer, whether it is
intended to be an ISO Option), a Short-Term Option or an RSU-style Option; 


 If
the Committee does not specify the type of an Award on or before the Grant Date then an Award shall be an Option to acquire ADSs with an Option Price equal to twelve times the nominal value of an Ordinary Share (1.2p per ADS). Any Option granted to
a US Taxpayer with an Option Price that is less than Fair Market Value on the Grant Date that is not granted as an RSU-style Option shall be deemed a Short-Term Option. 

 

	4.3	 Method of grant 



An Award shall be granted as follows: 
  

	 	(a)	 by deed executed by the Company; and 



 

	 	(b)	 if an Award is an Option, the Committee shall determine the Option Price (if any) on or before the Grant Date
provided that, except in the case of an Option granted to a US Taxpayer, the Committee may reduce or waive such Option Price on or prior to the exercise of the Option. In the case of a Regular Option granted to a US Taxpayer, the Option Price per
Share shall, subject to any adjustments permitted by Section 409A of the IRS Code and its regulations for corporate transactions, never be less than the Fair Market Value of such Share on the Grant Date. 



In the case of an Option granted to a US Taxpayer, for the avoidance of doubt, the following actions shall have occurred as of the Grant Date:
(i) the recipient of the grant of the Option shall have been identified, (ii) the maximum number of Shares that can be purchased under the Option shall have been established, (iii) the Option Price shall have been established;
(iv) whether the Option is granted in relation to Ordinary Shares or ADSs shall have been established (all Options not designated otherwise shall be Options to acquire ADSs); and (v) the recipient of the grant shall have acquired a legally
binding right to the Option (which may, however, be subject to lapse or forfeiture). 
  

	4.4	 Acceptance of RSU-style Options 



An RSU-style Option is subject to the requirement that the Participant accepts the Award in such manner
as the Board may specify agreeing to be bound by the terms of the Award, and undertaking to pay the Option Price for the Award upon its exercise in accordance with Rule 8.4 (Method of exercise: RSU-style
Option). If the Participant has not duly accepted the Award by midnight on the date 30 days after the Grant Date the Company may, at any time before the Award has been duly accepted determine that the Award has lapsed. The undertaking to pay the
Option Price shall be deemed an undertaking to pay the subscription price for the Ordinary Shares, or underlying Ordinary Shares, as appropriate, subject to the Award. 

  
 -8- 














	4.5	 Treatment of dividends 



The Committee may, but is not obliged to, decide on or before the grant of an Award that either:- 

 

	 	(a)	 a Participant (or his nominee) shall be entitled to receive a benefit determined by reference to the value of
the dividends that would have been paid on the Vested Shares in respect of dividend record dates occurring during the period between the Grant Date and the date of Vesting. The Committee shall decide the basis on which the value of such dividends
shall be calculated which may assume the reinvestment of dividends. The Committee may also decide at this time whether the Dividend Equivalent shall be provided to the Participant in the form of cash and/or Shares. The Dividend Equivalent shall be
provided in accordance with Rule 7.3; or 


  

	 	(b)	 it shall grant an Award on terms where the number of Shares comprised in an Award shall increase by deeming
dividends that would have been paid on such Shares in respect of dividend record dates occurring within the period between the Grant Date and the date of Vesting to have been reinvested in additional Shares on such terms (as to the price at which
any such additional Shares shall be deemed to have been purchased or otherwise) as the Committee shall decide on or before the Grant Date of an Award. 


  

	4.6	 Method of satisfying Awards 



Unless specified to the contrary by the Committee on the Grant Date, an Award may be satisfied: 

 

	 	(a)	 by the issue of new Shares; and/or 



 

	 	(b)	 by the transfer of existing Shares. 



The Committee may decide to change the way in which it is intended that an Award may be satisfied after it has been granted, having regard to
the provisions of Rule 5 (Limits). 
  

	4.7	 No grants after expiry of seven-year grant period 



No Awards may be granted after 26 May 2027 (that is, the expiry of the period of 7 years beginning with the Effective Date). The Plan
shall remain in effect after that date in relation to any Awards granted before that date which are still outstanding. 
  

	4.8	 Approvals and consents 



The grant of any Award shall be subject to obtaining any approval or consent required under any applicable rules of any exchange on which
Shares or securities of the Company are listed or traded, any relevant share dealing code of the Company, the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, or any other relevant UK or overseas regulation or enactment. 

 

	4.9	 Non-transferability and bankruptcy 



An Award granted to any person: 
  

	 	(a)	 shall not be transferred, assigned, encumbered, pledged, charged or otherwise disposed of (save as expressly
permitted below in this Rule 4.9 and except on his death to his personal representatives) and shall lapse immediately on any attempt to do so; and 


  

	 	(b)	 shall lapse immediately if he is declared bankrupt. 



  
 -9- 













 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participants resident in the United States of America may
with the permission of the Committee transfer an Award to family members by gift or pursuant to a domestic relations order, within the parameters permitted for registration of the Shares on a Form S-8
Registration Statement under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended and other applicable securities rules. In no event may any Award be transferred for consideration. 
  

	5.	 LIMITS 


  

	5.1	 Overall Plan Limit 



No Award may be granted if it would cause the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares (including as part of the process for the issue of new ADSs)
allocated (as defined in Rule 5.2) pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan since its adoption to exceed 22,200,000 plus: 
  

	 	(a)	 a number of Ordinary Shares (including as part of the process for the issue of new ADSs) equal to the 2017
LTIP’s Available Reserve; and 


  

	 	(b)	 a number of Ordinary Shares (including as part of the process for the issue of new ADSs) equal to the number of
Returning Shares, if any, that become available from time to time as and when such shares become Returning Shares under Rule 5.4 below, up to a maximum of 12,749,175 Ordinary Shares. 



The overall limit in this Rule 5.1 will be subject to such other adjustment as the Board may determine to be appropriate upon any change that
is made in, or other events that occur with respect to, the Shares without the receipt of consideration by the Company through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, share dividend, dividend in property other than
cash, large nonrecurring cash dividend, share split, reverse share split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or any similar equity restructuring transaction. 

Upon the Effective Date, (1) no further new awards may be granted over Shares under the 2017 LTIP and (2) the number of Ordinary
Shares subject to the 2017 LTIP’s Available Reserve shall cease to be available for grant under the 2017 LTIP and shall become available for grant hereunder pursuant to Rule 5.1(a) above. 

 

	5.2	 Meaning of “allocated” 



For the purposes of Rule 5.1: 
  

	 	(a)	 Ordinary Shares are allocated: 



 

	 	(i)	 when an option, award or other contractual right to acquire Shares which may result in the issue of new
Ordinary Shares (including as part of the process for the issue of new ADSs) is granted; 


  

	 	(ii)	 where Ordinary Shares are issued (including as part of the process for the issue of new ADSs) otherwise than
pursuant to an option, award or other contractual right to acquire Shares, when those Ordinary Shares are issued; 


  

	 	(b)	 any Ordinary Shares which have been issued or which may be issued to any trustees to satisfy the exercise of
any option, award or other contractual right granted under any arrangement falling within Rule 5.1 shall count as allocated unless they are already treated as allocated under this Rule; and 



 

	 	(c)	 for the avoidance of doubt, existing Ordinary Shares that are transferred or over which options, awards or
other contractual rights are granted shall not count as allocated. 



  
 -10- 














	5.3	 Post-grant events affecting numbers of “allocated” Ordinary Shares 



For the purposes of Rule 5.2: 
  

	 	(a)	 where: 


  

	 	(i)	 any option, award or other contractual right to acquire unissued Shares is released or lapses (whether in whole
or in part); or 


  

	 	(ii)	 after the grant of an option, award or other contractual right the Committee determines that:



  

	 	(aa)	 it shall be satisfied by the payment of cash equal to the gain made on its vesting or exercise; or



  

	 	(bb)	 it shall be satisfied by the transfer of existing Shares 



the unissued Ordinary Shares which consequently cease to be subject to the option, award or other contractual right (whether directly or as
the Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) shall not count as allocated; and 
  

	 	(b)	 the number of Ordinary Shares allocated in respect of an option, award or other contractual right shall be such
number as the Board shall reasonably determine from time to time. 


  

	5.4	 2017 LTIP 



Where any option, award or other contractual right to acquire unissued Shares that was granted under the 2017 LTIP and that is outstanding as
of the Effective Date is, on or after the Effective Date released or lapses (whether in whole or in part), the overall Plan limit specified in Rule 5.1 shall be increased by the number of unissued Ordinary Shares which consequently cease to be
subject to the option, award or other contractual right under the 2017 LTIP (whether directly or as the Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) (such shares that may increase the number of unissued Ordinary Shares, the “Returning
Shares”). 
  

	5.5	 ISO Option limit 



The aggregate maximum number of Ordinary Shares which have been and may be acquired by Participants (including the underlying Ordinary Shares
in relation to ADSs) pursuant to the exercise of ISO Options granted under the Plan since its adoption shall be 5,000,000 (the “ISO Limit”), subject to such adjustment as the Board may determine to be appropriate upon any change
that is made in, or other events that occur with respect to, the Shares without the receipt of consideration by the Company through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, share dividend, dividend in property other
than cash, large nonrecurring cash dividend, share split, reverse share split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or any similar equity restructuring transaction. For clarity, the ISO Limit
shall not permit any Award to be granted if it would cause the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares which may be acquired pursuant to all Awards granted under the Plan to exceed the overall plan limit described in Rule 5.1 above. 

 

	5.6	 Effect of limits 



Any Award shall be limited and take effect so that the limits in this Rule 5 are complied with.

	 	(b)	 permitted by any other term imposed on the Vesting of the Award, or pursuant to a separate written plan or
agreement approved by the Committee; and 


  

	 	(c)	 in relation to Vesting before the Normal Vesting Date, as permitted by Rules 11.5 and 12.5 (Reduction in
number of Vested Shares), or, in the case of Discretionary Vesting to the extent determined by the Committee in its discretion. 



Where, under Rule 11 (Leavers) or Rule 12 (Takeovers and other corporate events) or in the case of Discretionary Vesting, an
Award would (subject to the satisfaction of any Performance Condition) Vest before the end of the full period over which performance would be measured under Performance Condition then, unless provided to the contrary by the Performance Condition,
the extent to which the Performance Condition has been satisfied in such circumstances shall be determined by the Committee on such reasonable basis as it decides. 
  

	6.3	 Restrictions on Vesting: tax issues  



An Award shall not Vest unless and until the following conditions are satisfied: 

 

	 	(a)	 if, on the Vesting of the Award, a Tax Liability would arise by virtue of such Vesting and the Board decides
that such Tax Liability shall not be satisfied by the sale of Shares pursuant to Rule 6.5 (Payment of Tax Liability) then the Participant must have entered into arrangements acceptable to the Board that the relevant Group Member will receive
the amount of such Tax Liability; and 


  

	 	(b)	 where the Committee requires, the Participant has entered into, or agreed to enter into, a valid election under
Part 7 of ITEPA (Employment income: elections to disapply tax charge on restricted securities) or any similar arrangement in any overseas jurisdiction. 



For the purposes of this Rule 6.3, references to Group Member include any former Group Member. 

  
 -12- 













 In the case of a Participant who is a US Taxpayer, any delay in the Vesting of an Award for
the satisfaction of the conditions in Rule 6.3(a) or (b) shall not delay the distribution of Shares or cash in lieu of Shares beyond the Short-Term Deferral Period in relation to the Award, and if any of those conditions is not satisfied by the
end of that Short-Term Deferral Period the Award shall lapse without any further obligation of the Company, the Participant’s employer, or any other Group Member to the Participant with respect thereto. 

 

	6.4	 Tax Liability before Vesting 



If any Tax Liability will or is likely to arise before the Vesting of an Award then the Participant must enter into arrangements acceptable to
any relevant Group Member to ensure that it receives the amount of such Tax Liability. If no such arrangement is made then the Participant shall be deemed to have authorised the Company to sell or procure the sale of sufficient of the Shares subject
to his Award on his behalf to ensure that the relevant Group Member receives the amount required to discharge the Tax Liability and the number of Shares subject to his Award shall be reduced accordingly. 

For the purposes of this Rule 6.4, references to Group Member include any former Group Member. 

 

	6.5	 Payment of Tax Liability 



The Participant authorises the Company to: 
  

	 	(a)	 sell or procure the sale of sufficient Vested Shares on or following the Vesting of his Award on his behalf to
ensure that any relevant Group Member or former Group Member receives the amount required to discharge the Tax Liability which arises on Vesting; or 


  

	 	(b)	 to withhold from the number of Shares deliverable on the Vesting of the Award such number of Shares as has a
Fair Market Value on the date the Tax Liability is to be determined equal to the Tax Liability in satisfaction of the Participant’s obligations in relation to that Tax Liability, 



except to the extent that the Board decides that all or part of the Tax Liability shall be funded in a different manner. 

 

	7.	 CONSEQUENCES OF VESTING 



 

	7.1	 Conditional Awards 



On or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Vesting of a Conditional Award, the Company shall, subject to Rule 6.5 (Payment of Tax
Liability) and any arrangement made under Rules 6.3(a) and 6.3(b) (Restrictions on Vesting: tax issues), transfer or procure the transfer of the Vested Shares to the Participant (or a nominee for him). 

 

	7.2	 Options 



An Option shall, subject to Rule 8.1 (Restrictions on the exercise of an Option: regulatory and tax issues), be exercisable in respect
of Vested Shares at any time prior to: 
  

	 	(a)	 in relation to a Regular Option, the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date; and 



 

	 	(b)	 in relation to a Short-Term Option, the end of the Short-Term Deferral Period in relation to that Option,




  
 -13- 













 unless, in each case, it lapses earlier under Rule 11.2 (Good Leavers: unvested
Awards), Rule 11.3 (Good Leavers: Vested Awards), Rule 11.4 (Other leavers), Rule 12.1 (General offers), Rule 12.2 (Schemes of arrangement and winding up) or Rule 12.3 (Demergers and similar events). 

For purposes of clarity, an RSU-style Option shall be automatically exercised upon Vesting in
accordance with the provisions of Rule 8.4 (Method of exercise: RSU-style Option) and therefore there is no period where the Participant may exercise it. 

 

	7.3	 Dividend Equivalent 



If the Committee decided under Rule 4.4 (Treatment of dividends) that a Participant would be entitled to a Dividend Equivalent in
relation to Shares under their Award but did not decide at that time whether the Dividend Equivalent would be provided in the form of cash and/or Shares, then the Committee shall make such decision on or as soon as practicable after Vesting. 

The Committee, acting fairly and reasonably, may decide to exclude the value of all or part of a special dividend or any other dividend from
the amount of the Dividend Equivalent. 
 The provision of the Dividend Equivalent to the Participant shall be made as soon as practicable
after the issue or transfer of Vested Shares and: 
  

	 	(a)	 in the case of a cash payment, shall be subject to such deductions (on account of tax or similar liabilities)
as may be required by law or as the Board may reasonably consider to be necessary or desirable; and 


  

	 	(b)	 in the case of a provision of Shares, Rule 6.3 (Restrictions on Vesting: tax issues) and Rule 6.5
(Payment of Tax Liability) shall apply as if such provision was the Vesting of an Award. 


  

	8.	 EXERCISE OF OPTIONS 



 

	8.1	 Restrictions on the exercise of an Option: regulatory and tax issues 



An Option which has Vested may not be exercised unless the following conditions are satisfied: 

 

	 	(a)	 the exercise of the Option and the issue or transfer of Shares after such exercise would be lawful in all
relevant jurisdictions and in compliance with any applicable rules of any exchange on which Shares or securities of the Company are listed or traded, any relevant share dealing code of the Company, the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers and any
other relevant UK or overseas regulation or enactment; 


  

	 	(b)	 if, on the exercise of the Option, a Tax Liability would arise by virtue of such exercise and the Board decides
that such Tax Liability shall not be satisfied by the sale of Shares pursuant to Rule 8.5 (Payment of Tax Liability) then the Participant must have entered into arrangements acceptable to the Board that the relevant Group Member will receive
the amount of such Tax Liability; and 


  

	 	(c)	 where the Committee requires, the Participant has entered into, or agreed to enter into, a valid election under
Chapter 2, Part 7, ITEPA (Employment income: elections to disapply tax charge on restricted securities) or any similar arrangement in any overseas jurisdiction. 



  
 -14- 













 In no event shall any restrictions under this Rule 8.1 on the exercise of a Vested Option
extend the Exercise Period beyond the limit of Rule 7.2(a) (for a Regular Option) and Rule 7.2(b) (for an RSU-style Option or a Short-Term Option). For the purposes of this Rule 8.1, references to Group Member
include any former Group Member. 
  

	8.2	 Exercise in whole or part 



An Option must be exercised over at least 2,000 Shares on any occasion unless the Committee decides that a Participant may exercise the Option
in respect of such fewer number of Shares as it decides or there are fewer than 2,000 Shares (or such other number as the Committee may decide) in respect of which the Option may be exercised at the relevant time, in which case the Option must be
exercised to the maximum extent possible at that time. 
  

	8.3	 Method of exercise: Options other than RSU-style Options



 The exercise of any Option other than an RSU-style Option shall be effected in
the form and manner prescribed by the Board. Unless the Board, acting fairly and reasonably determines otherwise, any notice of exercise shall, subject to Rule 8.1 (Restrictions on the exercise of an Option: regulatory and tax issues), take
effect only when the Company receives it, together with payment of any relevant Option Price (or, if the Board so permits, an undertaking to pay that amount). An RSU-style Option shall be automatically
exercised in accordance with the provisions of Rule 8.4. 
  

	8.4	 Method of exercise: RSU-style Options 



An RSU-style Option shall be automatically exercised to the full extent of the Vested Shares on the day
it becomes exercisable in relation to those Vested Shares (taking account of any restrictions on exercise pursuant to Rule 8.1), and the Participant’s undertaking to pay the Option Price shall satisfy the obligation to pay the Option Price. By
accepting the RSU-style Option the Participant shall: 
  

	 	(a)	 authorise the Company to sell or procure the sale of sufficient Vested Shares on or following exercise of his RSU-style Option on his behalf to ensure that the Company receives the amount required to discharge that undertaking to pay (and authorises the Company to apply that amount in discharging the undertaking);



  

	 	(b)	 if the Company does not so sell or procure the sale of Vested Shares, authorise the Company to recover a
sufficient amount to discharge the undertaking to pay from any amounts payable to the Participant by any Group Member whether by way of salary or otherwise; and 



 

	 	(c)	 otherwise agree to be bound by all provisions of the Plan in relation to the
RSU-style Option, including, without limitation, in relation to its exercise. 


  

	8.5	 Payment of Tax Liability 



The Participant authorises the Company to: 
  

	 	(a)	 sell or procure the sale of sufficient Vested Shares on or following exercise of his Option on his behalf to
ensure that any relevant Group Member receives the amount required to discharge the Tax Liability which arises on such exercise; or 


  

	 	(b)	 to withhold from the number of Shares deliverable on exercise of the Option such number of Shares as has a Fair
Market Value on the date the Tax Liability is to be determined equal to the Tax Liability in satisfaction of the Participant’s obligations in relation to that Tax Liability, 



except to the extent that he and the Company agree that all or part of the Tax Liability is to be funded in a different manner. 

  
 -15- 














	8.6	 Transfer or allotment timetable 



As soon as reasonably practicable after an Option has been exercised, the Company shall, subject to Rule 8.5 (Payment of Tax Liability)
and any arrangement made under Rules 8.1(b) and 8.1(c) (Restrictions on exercise: regulatory and tax issues), transfer or procure the transfer to him (or a nominee for him) or, if appropriate, allot to him (or a nominee for him) the number of
Shares in respect of which the Option has been exercised. 
  

	8.7	 Lapse of Options 



An Option which has become exercisable shall, subject to Rule 11.2 (Cessation of employment in other circumstances), Rule 12.1
(General offers), Rule 12.2 (Schemes of arrangement and winding up) or Rule 12.3 (Demergers and similar events), lapse at the end of the Exercise Period to the extent it has not been exercised. 

 

	9.	 CASH ALTERNATIVE 



 

	9.1	 Committee determination 



Where a Conditional Award Vests or where an Option has been exercised and Vested Shares have not yet been allotted or transferred to the
Participant (or his nominee), the Committee may determine that, in substitution for his right to acquire such number of Vested Shares as the Committee may decide (but in full and final satisfaction of his right to acquire those Shares), he shall be
paid by way of additional employment income a sum equal to the cash equivalent (as defined in Rule 9.3) of that number of Shares in accordance with the following provisions of this Rule 9. 

 

	9.2	 Limitation on the use of this Rule 



Rule 9.1 shall not apply in relation to an Award made to a Participant in any jurisdiction where the presence of Rule 9.1 would cause: 

 

	 	(a)	 the grant of the Award to be unlawful or for it to fall outside any applicable securities law exclusion or
exemption; or 


  

	 	(b)	 adverse tax or social security contribution consequences for the Participant or any Group Member as determined
by the Board 


 provided that this Rule 9.2 shall only apply if its application would prevent the occurrence of a
consequence referred to in (a) or (b) above. 
  

	9.3	 Cash equivalent 



For the purpose of this Rule 9, the cash equivalent of a Share is: 
  

	 	(a)	 in the case of a Conditional Award, the Fair Market Value of a Share on the day when the Award Vests;



  

	 	(b)	 in the case of an Option, the Fair Market Value of a Share on the day when the Option is exercised reduced by
the Option Price. 



  
 -16- 














	9.4	 Payment of cash equivalent 



Subject to Rule 9.5 (Share alternative), as soon as reasonably practicable after the Committee has determined under Rule 9.1 that a
Participant shall be paid a sum in substitution for his right to acquire any number of Vested Shares: 
  

	 	(a)	 the Company shall pay to him or procure the payment to him of that sum in cash; and 



 

	 	(b)	 if he has already paid the Company for those Shares, the Company shall return to him the amount so paid by him.



  

	9.5	 Share alternative 



If the Committee so decides, the whole or any part of the sum payable under Rule 9.4 shall, instead of being paid to the Participant in cash,
be applied on his behalf: 
  

	 	(a)	 in subscribing for Shares at a price equal to the market value by reference to which the cash equivalent is
calculated; or 


  

	 	(b)	 in purchasing such Shares; or 



 

	 	(c)	 partly in one way and partly in the other 



and the Company shall allot or transfer to him (or his nominee) or procure the transfer to him (or his nominee) of the Shares so subscribed for
or purchased. 
  

	9.6	 Deductions 



There shall be deducted from any payment under this Rule 9 such amounts (on account of tax or similar liabilities) as may be required by law or
as the Board may reasonably consider to be necessary or desirable and permitted by law. 
  

	10.	 LAPSE OF AWARDS 



 

	10.1	 General 



An Award shall lapse: 
  

	 	(a)	 in accordance with the Rules; or 



 

	 	(b)	 to the extent it does not Vest under these Rules. 



 

	10.2	 Dealings in Investment Shares 



A Matching Award shall lapse on the date on which the Participant: 
  

	 	(a)	 does any act in breach of any of the terms relating to his Investment Shares unless the Committee decides
otherwise; or 


  

	 	(b)	 loses his entitlement to, transfers, charges, or otherwise disposes of the Investment Shares to which the
relevant Matching Award relates 


 and such lapse shall be pro-rata to the number
of Investment Shares in respect of which such act or event occurs. 

  
 -17- 














	10.3	 Short-Term Options 



A Short-Term Option shall lapse at the end of the Short-Term Deferral Period in relation to that Option (or such shorter period set forth in
the grant documentation or as specified in by the Committee in order to avoid adverse tax consequences), if not exercised. 
  

	11.	 LEAVERS 


  

	11.1	 Good Leavers 


  


	 	(a)	 If a Participant who is a UK resident at the Grant Date of an Award ceases to be a Connected Person by reason
of: 


  

	 	(i)	 death; 


  

	 	(ii)	 retirement with the agreement of the Committee (in the case of Participants who are executive directors of the
Company or members of senior management) or the employer or company to whom the Participant provides services (in the case of all other UK Participants), determined on a
case-by-case basis in the absolute discretion of the Committee, employer or company, as applicable; 



 

	 	(iii)	 ill health, injury or disability evidenced to the satisfaction of the Committee; 



 

	 	(iv)	 redundancy (within the meaning of the UK Employment Rights Act 1996) or any overseas equivalent;



  

	 	(v)	 his office, employment or consultancy contract being with either a company which ceases to be a Group Member or
relating to a business or part of a business which is transferred to a person who is not a Group Member; or 


  

	 	(vi)	 for any other reason, if the Committee so decides, 



then he shall be a “Good Leaver” in relation to that Award. 

 

	 	(b)	 If a Participant who is resident outside of the UK at the Grant Date of an Award ceases to be a Connected
Person, then he shall be a “Good Leaver” in relation to that Award if: 


  

	 	(i)	 he is required to be so treated to comply with applicable local law; 



 

	 	(ii)	 he is to be so treated in accordance with an agreement approved by the Committee, or 



 

	 	(iii)	 the Committee otherwise in its complete discretion determines that he is to be so treated.



  

	 	(c)	 Where the Committee decides in accordance with Rule 11.1(a)(vi) or Rule 11.1(b)(iii) that the Participant is to
be a Good Leaver, they may so decide in relation to all Awards held by the Participant or certain Awards only. In the latter case, the Participant shall only be treated as a Good Leaver in relation to the relevant Awards. 



  
 -18- 














	11.2	 Good Leavers: unvested Awards 



Where a Participant ceases to be a Connected Person as a Good Leaver before the Normal Vesting Date of an Award, then: 

 

	 	(a)	 subject to Rule 6.3 (Restrictions on Vesting: tax issues) and Rule 12 (Takeovers and other corporate
events), his Award shall Vest on the Normal Vesting Date; unless 


  

	 	(b)	 the Committee decides that, subject to Rule 6.3 (Restrictions on Vesting: tax issues), his Award shall
Vest on the date of cessation or such later date (before the Normal Vesting Date) that the Committee may determine, 


 and,
in both cases, Rule 11.5 (Leavers: reduction in number of Vested Shares) shall apply. 
 If the Participant ceasing to be a Connected
Person as a Good Leaver is a US Taxpayer, then only Rule 11.2(b) shall apply to that Participant. 
 If the Award is an Option other than a RSU-style Option, it may, subject to Rule 8.1 (Restrictions on the exercise of an Option: regulatory and tax issues) and Rule 10.3 (Short-Term Options), be exercised within six months of the date of
Vesting (if Rule 11.2(a) applies), or within six months of the date of cessation (if Rule 11.2(b) applies, but in no event shall it become exercisable at any time after then end of the otherwise applicable Exercise Period. To the extent that the
Option is not exercised within the permitted exercise period, it shall (regardless of any other provision of the Plan) lapse at the end of that period. 
  

	11.3	 Good Leavers: Vested Awards 



Where a Participant ceases to be a Connected Person as a Good Leaver after the Normal Vesting Date of an Award, the Vested Award (other than a RSU-style Option) may, subject to Rule 8.1 (Restrictions on the exercise of an Option: regulatory and tax issues) and Rule 10.3 (Short-Term Options), be exercised within six months of the date of
cessation, but in no event shall it become exercisable at any time after then end of the otherwise applicable Exercise Period. To the extent that the Option is not exercised within the permitted exercise period, it shall (regardless of any other
provision of the Plan) lapse at the end of that period. 
  

	11.4	 Other leavers 



If a Participant ceases to be a Connected Person other than as a Good Leaver in relation to an Award held by him then that Award shall lapse
immediately on such cessation. 
  

	11.5	 Leavers: reduction in number of Vested Shares 



Where an Award Vests on or after a Participant ceasing to be a Connected Person, the Committee shall determine the number of Vested Shares of
that Award by the following steps: 
  

	 	(a)	 applying any Performance Condition and any other condition imposed on the Vesting of the Award in accordance
with Rule 6.2 (Extent of Vesting); and 


  

	 	(b)	 if the Committee so decides, applying such reduction to the number of Shares determined under Rule 11.5(a) as
it sees fit (such reduction to be, unless it decides otherwise, on such pro-rata basis as it may determine). 



If an Award Vests under any of Rules 12.1 to 12.3 when the holder of that Award has ceased to be a Connected Person then this Rule 11.5 shall
take precedence over Rule 12.5. 
  

	11.6	 Meaning of ceasing to be a Connected Person 



A Participant shall not be treated for the purposes of this Rule 11 as ceasing to be a Connected Person until such time as he is no longer a
director or employee of, or a Consultant to, any Group Member. If any Participant ceases to be such a director or employee before the Vesting of his Award in circumstances where he retains a statutory right to return to work then he shall


  
 -19- 













 
be treated as not having ceased to be such a director or employee until such time (if at all) as he ceases to have such a right to return to work while not acting as an employee or director. In
the case of a US Taxpayer, a Participant shall not be treated for the purposes of this Rule 11 as ceasing to be a Connected Person unless and until the Participant has also had a “separation from service” for purposes of Section 409A.

 The reason for the termination of office or employment of a Participant, or the relevant consultancy contract, shall be determined by
reference to Rules 11.1 and 11.4 regardless of whether such termination was lawful or unlawful. 
  

	12.	 TAKEOVERS AND OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS  



 

	12.1	 General offers 



If any person (or group of persons acting in concert): 
  

	 	(a)	 obtains (or, in the reasonable opinion of the Committee, is expected to obtain) Control of the Company as a
result of making a general offer to acquire Shares; or 


  

	 	(b)	 having obtained Control of the Company makes such an offer and such offer becomes unconditional in all respects



 the Committee shall within 7 days of becoming aware of that event or forming such opinion (as applicable) notify every
Participant accordingly and, subject to Rule 12.4 (Internal reorganisations), the following provisions shall apply: 
  

	 	(i)	 subject to Rule 6.3 (Restrictions on Vesting: tax issues), all Awards shall Vest on such date as the
Committee may determine (being no later than the date of the change in Control of the Company or the offer becoming unconditional in all respects, as applicable) (such date being the Early Vesting Date) if they have not then Vested and Rule 12.5
(Corporate events: reduction in number of Vested Shares) shall apply; and 


  

	 	(ii)	 any Option may, subject to Rule 8.1 (Restrictions on the exercise of an Option: regulatory and tax
issues), be exercised within one month of the Early Vesting Date (or such shorter period of time approved by the Committee, not to be less than five days), except for RSU-style Options, which shall be
automatically exercised to the full extent of the Vested Shares upon the Early Vesting Date, but to the extent that an Option is not exercised within that period, that Option shall (regardless of any other provision of the Plan) lapse at the end of
that period. 


  

	12.2	 Schemes of arrangement and winding up 



In the event that: 
  

	 	(a)	 a compromise or arrangement is sanctioned by the Court under section 899 of the Companies Act 2006 in
connection with or for the purposes of a change in Control of the Company; or 


  

	 	(b)	 the Company passes a resolution for a voluntary winding up of the Company; or 



 

	 	(c)	 an order is made for the compulsory winding up of the Company 



or, in the reasonable opinion of the Committee, any of the above events is expected to occur, all Awards shall, subject to Rule 6.3
(Restrictions on Vesting: tax issues) and Rule 12.4 (Internal reorganisations), Vest on such date as the Committee may determine (being no later than the date of such event) (such date being the Early Vesting Date) if they have not
then Vested and Rule 12.5 (Corporate events: reduction in number of Vested Shares) shall apply. 

  
 -20- 













 If an event as described in this Rule 12.2 occurs (or, in the reasonable opinion of the
Committee, is expected to occur) then an Option may, subject to Rule 8.1 (Restrictions on the exercise of an Option: regulatory and tax issues) and Rule 12.4 (Internal reorganisations), be exercised within one month of the Early
Vesting Date (except for RSU-style Options, which shall be automatically exercised to the full extent of the Vested Shares upon the Early Vesting Date), but to the extent that the Option is not exercised
within that period, it shall (regardless of any other provision of the Plan) lapse at the end of that period. 
  

	12.3	 Demergers and similar events  



If a demerger, special dividend or other similar event (the “Relevant Event”) is proposed which, in the opinion of the
Committee, would affect the market price of Shares to a material extent, then the Committee may, at its discretion, decide that the following provisions shall apply: 
  

	 	(a)	 the Committee shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after deciding to apply these provisions, notify a
Participant that, subject to earlier lapse under Rule 11 (Leavers), his Award Vests and, if relevant, his Option may be exercised on such terms as the Committee may determine and during such period preceding the Relevant Event or on the
Relevant Event as the Committee may determine and shall lapse at the end of that period to the extent unexercised; 


  

	 	(b)	 if an Award Vests, or an Option is exercised, conditional upon the Relevant Event and such event does not occur
then the conditional Vesting or exercise shall not be effective and the Award shall continue to subsist; and 


  

	 	(c)	 if the Committee decides that an Award Vests under this Rule 12.3 then the date of that Vesting shall be the
Early Vesting Date and the provisions of Rule 12.5 (Corporate events: reduction in number of Vested Shares) shall apply. 


  

	12.4	 Internal reorganisations 



In the event that: 
  

	 	(a)	 a company (the “Acquiring Company”) is expected to obtain Control of the Company as a result
of an offer referred to in Rule 12.1 (General offers) or a compromise or arrangement referred to in Rule 12.2(a) (Schemes of arrangement and winding up); and 



 

	 	(b)	 at least 75% of the shares in the Acquiring Company are expected to be held by substantially the same persons
who immediately before the obtaining of Control of the Company were shareholders in the Company 


 then the Committee, with
the consent of the Acquiring Company, may decide before the obtaining of such Control that an Award shall not Vest under Rule 12.1 or Rule 12.2 but shall be automatically surrendered in consideration for the grant of a new award which the Committee
determines is equivalent to the Award it replaces except that it will be over shares in the Acquiring Company or some other company. 
 The
Rules will apply to any new award granted under this Rule 12.4 as if references to Shares were references to shares over which the new award is granted and references to the Company were references to the company whose shares are subject to the new
award. 

  
 -21- 













 In the case of an Award granted to a US Taxpayer, Rule 12.4 shall be administered in a
manner that either complies with Section 409A of the IRS Code, or in a manner that does not result in the Award becoming subject to Section 409A. 
  

	12.5	 Corporate events: reduction in number of Vested Shares  



If an Award Vests under any of Rules 12.1 to 12.3, the Committee shall determine in its absolute discretion, including by way of an agreement
approved by the Committee, the number of Vested Shares of that Award. Without limitation to the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may determine that number by the following steps: 

 

	 	(a)	 applying any Performance Condition and any other condition imposed on the Vesting of the Award; and



  

	 	(b)	 subject to Rule 11.5 (Leavers: reduction in number of Vested Shares), and if the Committee so decides,
by applying such reduction to the number of Shares determined under Rule 12.5(a) as it sees fit (such reduction to be, unless it decides otherwise, on such pro-rata basis as it may determine).



 If an Award Vests under any of Rules 12.1 to 12.3 after the holder of that Award has ceased to be a Connected Person
then Rule 11.5 shall take precedence over this Rule 12.5. 
  

	13.	 ADJUSTMENT OF AWARDS 



 

	13.1	 General rule 



In the event of: 
  

	 	(a)	 any variation of the share capital of the Company; or 



 

	 	(b)	 a demerger, special dividend or other similar event which affects the market price of Shares to a material
extent 


 the Committee may make such adjustments as it considers appropriate under Rule 13.2 (Method of adjustment)
taking into account, where relevant, any adjustment to the related holding of Investment Shares under Rule 3.4 (Variation of share capital – Investment Shares). 
  

	13.2	 Method of adjustment 



An adjustment made under this Rule shall be to one or more of the following: 

 

	 	(a)	 the number of Shares comprised in an Award; 



 

	 	(b)	 subject to Rule 13.3 (Adjustment below nominal value), the Option Price; and 



 

	 	(c)	 where any Award has Vested or Option has been exercised but no Shares have been transferred or allotted after
such Vesting or exercise, the number of Shares which may be so transferred or allotted and (if relevant) the price at which they may be acquired. 



In the case of any Award granted to a US Taxpayer, any adjustment under this Rule 13.2 shall be made in a manner that complies with Sections
409A and, in the case of ISO Options, 424 of the Code. 

  
 -22- 














	13.3	 Adjustment below nominal value 



An adjustment under Rule 13.2 may have the effect of reducing the price at which Shares may be subscribed for on the exercise of an Option to
less than their nominal value, but only if and to the extent that the Board is authorised: 
  

	 	(a)	 to capitalise from the reserves of the Company a sum equal to the amount by which the nominal value of the
Shares in respect of which the Option is exercised and which are to be allotted after such exercise exceeds the price at which the Shares may be subscribed for; and 



 

	 	(b)	 to apply that sum in paying up such amount on such Shares 



so that on exercise of any Option in respect of which such a reduction shall have been made the Board shall capitalise that sum (if any) and
apply it in paying up that amount.

States or establish sub-plans or procedures under the Plan to address differences in laws, rules, regulations or customs of such international jurisdictions with respect to tax, securities, currency, employee
benefit or other matters.

	 	(b)	 the overall limits on the issue of Shares or the transfer of treasury Shares; and 



the terms of this Rule 14.2 without the prior approval by ordinary resolution of the members of the Company in general meeting. 

In addition, the Company shall not have the authority to: (i) reduce the Option Price of any outstanding Options under the Plan, or
(ii) cancel any outstanding Option that has an Option Price greater than the current Fair Market Value of the Shares in exchange for cash or other Awards under the Plan, unless the shareholders of the Company have approved such an action within
twelve (12) months prior to such an event. 
  

	14.3	 Exceptions to shareholder approval 



Rule 14.2 (Shareholder approval) shall not apply to:

	 	(a)	 the Board shall have invited every relevant Participant to indicate whether or not he approves the alteration;
and 


  

	 	(b)	 the alteration is approved by a majority of those Participants who have given such an indication.

to bring the Award into compliance with, Section 409A; or to comply with other applicable laws, regulations, ruling, judicial decision or listing requirements.

same basis, or at all, in any future year.

This Rule 15.4(b) shall be interpreted in accordance with the NASDAQ Listing Rules, save that “independent director” shall mean a
person who is both an independent director within the meaning of the NASDAQ Listing Rules and a non-employee director within the meaning of Rule16b-3 under the

	15.9	 Data Protection 



 

	 	(a)	 As a condition for receiving any Award, each Participant acknowledges that the Company and any Subsidiary of
the Company may collect, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, personal data as described in this section by and among the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates exclusively for implementing, administering and managing the
Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Company (as above) may hold certain personal information about a Participant, including the Participant’s name, address and telephone number; birthdate; social security, insurance number or
other identification number; salary; nationality; job title(s); any Shares held; and Award details, to implement, manage and administer the Plan and Awards (the “Data”). The Company (as above) may transfer the Data amongst
themselves as necessary to implement, administer and manage a Participant’s participation in the Plan, and the Company (as above) may transfer the Data to third parties assisting the Company with Plan implementation, administration and
management. These recipients may be located in the Participant’s country, or elsewhere, and the Participant’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the recipients’ country. By accepting an Award, each
Participant acknowledges that such recipients may receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any required Data
transfer to a broker or other third party with whom the Company or the Participant may elect to deposit any Shares. The Data related to a Participant will be held only as long as necessary to implement, administer, and manage the Participant’s
participation in the Plan. A Participant may, at any time, view the Data that the Company holds regarding such Participant, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data regarding such Participant and recommend any
necessary corrections to the Data regarding the Participant in writing, without cost, by contacting the local human resources representative. 


  

	 	(b)	 For the purpose of operating the Plan in the European Union and the United Kingdom, the Company will collect
and process information relating to Participants in accordance with the privacy notice which is provided to each Participant. 


  

	15.10	 Governing law 



The Plan and all Awards shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales and the Courts of England and Wales
have exclusive jurisdiction to hear any dispute. 
  

	15.11	 Section 409A 



Although neither the Company, the Committee nor any Group Member guarantees any particular tax treatment to a US Participant, all Awards
granted to US Taxpayers are intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, the application of Section 409A of the IRS Code: 

  
 -26- 














	 	(a)	 in the case of Awards other than Regular Options, pursuant to the short-term deferral exception set forth
Treas. Regs. §1.409A-1(b)(4)); and 


  

	 	(b)	 in the case of Regular Options, as options which are exempt from Section 409A; 



and this Plan shall be limited, construed and administered consistent with that intent. Accordingly, notwithstanding any Rule in the Plan to
the contrary, in the case of Awards granted to US Taxpayers: 
  

	 	(c)	 in any instance in which a new Regular Option is substituted for an outstanding Option pursuant to a corporate
transaction or in any instance in which an outstanding Regular Option is assumed pursuant to a corporate transaction, the number of Shares and the Option Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the principles set forth in Sections 1.424-1(a)(5) and 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D) of the Treasury Regulations. The instances in which there may be a substitution of a new Regular Option for an outstanding Option
pursuant to a corporate transaction shall be limited to those corporate transactions authorized by the Plan but shall be further limited to only those corporate transactions described in Section 1.424(a)(3) of the Treasury Regulations. In the
case of a stock split (including a reverse stock split), or stock dividend involving the Shares where the only effect of the stock split or stock dividend is to increase or decrease on a pro rata basis the number of Shares owned by each shareholder,
the Option Price and the number of Shares subject to an Option shall be proportionally adjusted to reflect such stock split or stock dividend; 


  

	 	(d)	 The Shares underlying any Regular Option granted to a US Taxpayer shall in all instances constitute
“service recipient stock” and shall be issued by a Group Member that is, with respect to such US Taxpayer, an “eligible issuer of service recipient stock” for purposes of IRS Code Section 409A; 



 

	 	(e)	 To the extent that any amount payable under the Plan constitutes
non-exempt “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A and would otherwise be payable or distributable under the Plan by reason of the occurrence of a corporate transaction, such amount
or benefit will not be payable or distributable to the Participant who is a US Taxpayer by reason of such corporate transaction unless the circumstances giving rise to such corporate transaction constitutes a “change in control event” in
Section 409A of the IRS Code. If this provision prevents the payment or distribution of any amount, such payment or distribution shall be made on the next earliest payment or distribution date or event specified in the Plan that is permissible
under Section 409A; and 


  

	 	(f)	 If any amount or benefit that constitutes non-exempt “deferred
compensation” for purposes of Section 409A would otherwise be payable or distributable under this Plan by reason of a Participant’s separation from service during a period in which the Participant is a Specified Employee (as defined
below), then, subject to any permissible acceleration of payment by the Committee under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A -3(j)(4)(ii) (domestic relations order), (j)(4)(iii) (conflicts of interest), or
(j)(4)(vi) (payment of employment taxes), the Participant’s right to receive payment or distribution of such non-exempt deferred compensation will be delayed until the earlier of the Participant’s
death or the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s separation from service. For purposes of this Plan, the term “Specified Employee” has the meaning given such term in Section 409A, provided, however, that,
as permitted thereunder, the Company’s Specified Employees and its application of the six-month delay rule of IRS Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) shall be determined in accordance with rules adopted by
the Committee, which shall be applied consistently with respect to all nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements of the Company applicable to US Taxpayers, including this Plan.

 SCHEDULE 1 

CASH CONDITIONAL AWARDS 
 The Rules of the
GW Pharmaceuticals plc 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan shall apply to a right (a “Cash Conditional Award”) to receive a cash sum granted or to be granted under this Schedule as if it was a Conditional Award, except as set out in this
Schedule. Where there is any conflict between the Rules and this Schedule, the terms of this Schedule shall prevail. 
  

	1.	 The Committee may grant or procure the grant of a Cash Conditional Award. 



 

	2.	 Each Cash Conditional Award shall relate to a given number of notional Shares. 



 

	3.	 On the Vesting of the Cash Conditional Award the holder of that Award shall be entitled to a cash sum which

	4.	 The cash sum payable under paragraph 3 above shall be paid by the employer of the Participant as soon as

 SCHEDULE 2 

ITALIAN AWARDS 
 This schedule
(“Schedule 2”) modifies the provisions of the GW Pharmaceuticals plc 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”) with respect to Awards made to a Participant who is employed in Italy. The provisions
of this Schedule 2 apply automatically to those Awards. 
  

	1.	 Indirect pay 



By accepting an Award, the Participant agrees and accepts that any economic benefits deriving from the Award or the Plan shall not be
considered part of normal or expected compensation, and accordingly shall not be included in the calculation of indirect pay for any purpose (including, without limitation, for the purpose of severance payments, TFR (trattamento di fine rapport),
payment in lieu of notice and bonus payments). 
  

	2.	 Statutory right to return to work 



The sentence “If any Participant ceases to be such a director or employee before the Vesting of his Award in circumstances where he
retains a statutory right to return to work then he shall be treated as not having ceased to be such a director or employee until such time (if at all) as he ceases to have such a right to return to work while not acting as an employee or
director.” in Rule 11.6 (Meaning of ceasing to be a Connected Person) shall not apply in circumstances where the Participant ceases to be a Connected Person by reason of the relevant relationship being terminated by a Group Member.

 SCHEDULE 3 

FRENCH SUB PLAN 

FRENCH-QUALIFIED FREE SHARES 

Preamble 
 The
Board of Directors of GW Pharmaceuticals plc (the “Company”) has established the 2020 Long-term Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for the benefit of certain eligible persons, including employees of the Company and
its Subsidiaries, including its Subsidiaries in France of which the Company holds directly or indirectly at least 10% of the share capital (each, a “French Entity”). 

Rule 14.1 (General rule on alterations) of the Plan specifically authorises the Committee to adopt
sub-plans and/or special terms applicable to any Award made under the Plan to the benefit of participants outside the United Kingdom and United States. 

The Committee has determined that it is appropriate and desirable to establish a sub-plan for the
purposes of permitting RSU-style Options granted to employees of a French Entity that qualify for specific tax and social security treatment in France (“Free Share Awards”). The Committee,
therefore, decided to establish a sub-plan to the Plan for the purpose of granting Free Share Awards that qualify for the specific tax and social security treatment in France applicable to free shares granted
under Sections L. 225-197-1 to L. 225-197-6 of the French Commercial Code, as amended
(referred to herein as “French-qualified Free Shares”), to employees of a French Entity who are resident in France for French tax purposes and/or subject to the French social security regime (the “French
Participants”). 
 The Free Share Awards shall be RSU-style Options governed by the terms of
the Plan applicable to RSU-style Options, subject to the provisions set forth in this Schedule, and those terms together shall constitute the “French
Sub-Plan”. 
 Fundamental characteristics of the
RSU-Style Options granted as Free Share Awards to French Participants under the French Sub-Plan: 

 

	 	•	 	 the beneficiaries will receive Ordinary Shares or ADSs when the Free Share Awards Vest. Save as provided in this
Schedule, the Free Share Awards shall not Vest before the second anniversary of the Grant Date (and, accordingly, the Normal Vesting Date shall not be before that second anniversary). 



 

	 	•	 	 the exercise of the Free Share Awards will be automatic as provided for by Rule 8.4 of the Plan



  

	 	•	 	 the delivery of the Shares pursuant to the Free Share Awards is subject to the payment by the beneficiaries of
the nominal value of 0.1p for each Ordinary Share subject to the Free Share Award. In accordance with position of the French tax authorities, the payment of this consideration does not exceed 5% of the Fair Market Value of the Share at the Grant
Date and does not prevent that the Free Share Award qualifying as French-qualified Free Shares (BOI-RSA-ES-20-20-10-20, n°390). 



  
 -30- 













 Specific provisions of the French Sub Plan which supersede Rules of the Plan.  

Definitions. Capitalised terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Plan. 

Accelerated vesting: Takeovers etc. A Free Share Award may not be exercised before the Normal Vesting Date pursuant to Rule 12 (Takeovers and other
corporate events) unless the Committee specifically determines that the Award may be so exercised, in which case the provisions of Rule 12 shall apply in relation to the relevant transaction. 

Accelerated vesting: Good Leavers: Except in the case of the death of a French Participant, the Committee shall not make any determination under Rule
11.2(b) (Good Leavers: unvested Awards) that would result in a Free Share Award Vesting before the second anniversary of the Grant Date. 
 Death
of a French Participant. If a French Participant ceases to be a Connected Person by reason of death before the Normal Vesting Date of a Free Share Award the Committee shall determine that the French Participant is a Good Leaver pursuant to Rule
11.1(b) (Good Leavers). If a French Participant so ceases to be a Connected Person or, following ceasing to be a Connected Person as a Good Leaver, dies before the Normal Vesting Date, his or her rightful heirs can request, within a 6-month period following the date of death, the immediate delivery of the Shares subject to the Free Share Awards held by that French Participant, in accordance with Article L. 225-197-3 of the French Commercial Code. Upon receiving any such request, the Committee shall determine that the Free Share Award shall Vest immediately in accordance with Rule 11.2(b) (Good Leavers:
unvested Awards), and the Award shall vest in full (so the Committee shall not apply any reduction pursuant to Rule 11.5(b) (Leavers: reduction in number of Vested Shares). If no such request is made within the aforementioned 6-month period, the Award will automatically lapse at the end of that period. 
 Limits regarding percentage of holding
of the Company’s capital by a French Participant. Free Share Awards may not be issued under the French Sub-Plan to French Participants who own more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s
share capital. 
 Grants of Free Share Awards may not result in any French Participant’s owning more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s share
capital. 
 Delivery of Shares only. Only Shares, and not the cash equivalent in lieu of such Shares, may be delivered to any French Participant
pursuant to Free Share Awards. Accordingly, Rule 9 (Cash alternative) of the Plan does not apply to Free Share Awards. 
 Disqualification of Free Share
Awards as French-qualified Free Shares. If, following the grant, changes are made to the terms and conditions of the Free Share Awards due to any applicable legal requirements or a decision of the Company’s shareholders, the Board or the
Committee, the Free Share Awards may no longer qualify as French-qualified Free Shares. If the Free Share Awards no longer qualify as French-qualified Free Shares, the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, to lift, shorten or terminate
certain restrictions applicable to the vesting of the Free Share Awards or to the sale of the Shares delivered pursuant to the Free Share Awards, which restrictions have been imposed under this French
Sub-Plan. 
 Adjustment of Free Share Awards. The Committee may only make adjustments to a Free Share Award
pursuant to Rule 13 (Adjustment of Awards) in the case of transactions mentioned in Article L. 225-181 of the French Commercial Code. Any such adjustment shall be in order to guarantee the neutrality of
the relevant transaction on the rights of the French Participants, such adjustments not being mandatory upon the Company. 

  
 -31- 













 Employment Rights. The adoption of this French Sub-Plan
(a) shall not confer any employment rights upon the French Participants or any employees of a French Entity, and (b) shall not be construed as a part of any employment contracts that a French Entity has with its employees. 

Amendments. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee reserves the right to amend or terminate this French
Sub-Plan at any time in accordance with applicable French law. 
 Interpretation. The Free Share Awards are
intended to qualify for the specific tax and social security treatment applicable to free shares granted under Sections L. 225-197-1 to L.
225-197-6 of the French Commercial Code, as amended, and in accordance with the relevant provisions set forth by French tax and social security laws. Nevertheless, the
Company does not undertake to maintain this status. The terms of this French Sub-Plan shall be interpreted accordingly and in accordance with the relevant provisions set forth by French tax and social security
laws and relevant guidelines published by French tax and social security administrations and subject to the fulfilment of certain legal, tax, and reporting obligations, to the extent applicable. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of
this French Sub-Plan and the Plan, the provisions of this French Sub-Plan shall control for any grants of Free Share Awards made hereunder to French Participants.
