The Vir Biotechnology, Inc. Change in Control and Severance Benefit Plan (the “Plan”) is hereby established effective
March 11, 2019 (the “Effective Date”). The purpose of the Plan is to provide for the payment of severance benefits to eligible employees of Vir Biotechnology, Inc. (the “Company”) in
the event that such employees become subject to involuntary employment terminations, including in connection with a Change in Control. Except as otherwise provided in an individual Participation Agreement, this Plan shall supersede any severance
benefit plan, policy or practice previously maintained by the Company, including any severance benefits set forth in any individually negotiated employment contract or agreement between the Company and any eligible employee. This Plan document also
is the Summary Plan Description for the Plan. 
 For purposes of the Plan, the following terms are defined as follows: 

(a) “Affiliate” means any corporation (other than the Company) in an “unbroken chain of corporations”

corporations in such chain. 
 (b) “Base Salary” means base pay (excluding incentive pay, premium pay,
commissions, overtime, bonuses and other forms of variable compensation) as in effect immediately prior to a Covered Termination and prior to any reduction that would give rise to an employee’s right to resign for Good Reason. 

(c) “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company; provided, however, that if the Board has delegated
authority to administer the Plan to the Compensation Committee of the Board, then “Board” shall also mean the Compensation Committee.

(i) the employee’s commission of any felony or any crime involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude under the laws of the United States or any state thereof; (ii) the employee’s attempted commission of, or participation in, a
fraud or act of dishonesty against the Company; (iii) the employee’s intentional, material violation of any contract or agreement between the employee and the Company or of any statutory duty owed to the Company; (iv) the

of a merger, consolidation or similar transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur (i) on account of the acquisition of securities of the Company by any institutional investor, any affiliate
thereof or any other Exchange Act Person that acquires the Company’s securities in a transaction or series of related transactions that are primarily a private financing transaction for the Company or (ii) solely because

the level of ownership held by any Exchange Act Person (the “Subject Person”) exceeds the designated percentage threshold of the outstanding voting securities as a result
of a repurchase or other acquisition of voting securities by the Company reducing the number of shares outstanding, provided that if a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition of voting
securities by the Company, and after such share acquisition, the Subject Person becomes the owner of any additional voting securities that, assuming the repurchase or other acquisition had not occurred, increases the percentage of the then
outstanding voting securities owned by the Subject Person over the designated percentage threshold, then a Change in Control shall be deemed to occur; 

(2) There is consummated a merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving, directly or indirectly, the Company if, immediately
after the consummation of such merger, consolidation or similar transaction, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior thereto do not own, directly or indirectly, either (i) outstanding voting securities representing more than fifty
percent (50%) of the combined outstanding voting power of the surviving entity in such merger, consolidation or similar transaction or (ii) more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined outstanding voting power of the parent of the
surviving entity in such merger, consolidation or similar transaction; or 
 (3) There is consummated a sale, lease, license or other

Employee, if there is a cash bonus plan applicable to such Eligible Employee for the year in which such Covered Termination occurs (“Cash Bonus Plan”), the cash bonus payable to such Eligible Employee under such Cash Bonus

such Eligible Employee’s then-effective employment agreement or offer letter with the Company, as if all of the applicable performance goals for such year were attained at a level of 100%. 

Section 2. ELIGIBILITY FOR BENEFITS. 

(a) Eligible Employee. An employee of the Company is eligible to participate in the Plan if (i) the employee is at the level of
Vice President or higher; (ii) the Plan Administrator has designated such employee as eligible to participate in the Plan by providing such person with a Participation Agreement; (iii) such employee has signed and returned such
Participation Agreement to the Company within the period specified therein; (iv) such employee’s employment with the Company terminates due to a Covered Termination; and (v) such employee meets the other Plan eligibility requirements
set forth in this Section 2. The determination of whether an employee is an Eligible Employee shall be made by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, and such determination shall be binding and conclusive on all persons. 

(b) Release Requirement. In order to be eligible to receive benefits under the Plan, the employee also must execute a general waiver and
release in the form provided by the Company (the “Release”), within the applicable time period set forth therein, but in no event more than fifty (50) days following the date of the applicable Covered Termination, and
such Release must become effective in accordance with its terms. 
 (c) Exceptions to Benefit Entitlement. An employee who otherwise
is an Eligible Employee will not receive benefits under the Plan in the following circumstances, as determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion: 

(1) The employee voluntarily terminates employment with the Company without Good Reason, or terminates employment due to the
employee’s death or disability. Voluntary terminations include, but are not limited to, resignation, retirement or failure to return from a leave of absence on the scheduled date. “Good Reason” for an employee’s resignation means
the occurrence of any of the following events, conditions or actions taken by the Company without Cause and without such employee’s consent: (i) a material reduction of such employee’s annual base salary, which is a reduction of at
least 20% of such employee’s base salary (unless pursuant to a salary reduction program applicable generally to the Company’s similarly situated employees); (ii) a material reduction in such employee’s authority, duties or
responsibilities; (iii) a relocation of such employee’s principal place of employment with the Company (or successor to the Company, if applicable) to a place that increases such employee’s
one-way commute by more than fifty (50) miles as compared to such employee’s then-current principal place of employment immediately prior to such relocation (excluding regular travel in the ordinary
course of business); provided that if such employee’s principal place of employment is his or her personal residence, this clause (iii) shall not apply; or (iv) a material breach by the Company of any material agreement between the
employee and the Company; provided, however, that in each case above, in order for the employee’s resignation to be deemed to have been for Good Reason, the employee must first give the Company written notice of the action or omission
giving rise to “Good Reason” within thirty (30) days after the first occurrence thereof; the Company must fail to reasonably cure such action or omission within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice (the “Cure
Period”), and the employee’s resignation must be effective not later than thirty (30) days after the expiration of such Cure Period. 

  
 4. 













 (2) The employee voluntarily terminates employment with the Company in order to
accept employment with another entity that is wholly or partly owned (directly or indirectly) by the Company or an Affiliate. 
 (3)
The employee is offered an identical or substantially equivalent or comparable position with the Company or an Affiliate. For purposes of the foregoing, a “substantially equivalent or comparable position” is one that provides the
employee substantially the same level of responsibility and compensation and would not give rise to the employee’s right to resign for Good Reason. 

(4) The employee is offered immediate reemployment by a successor to the Company or an Affiliate or by a purchaser of the
Company’s assets, as the case may be, following a Change in Control and the terms of such reemployment would not give rise to the employee’s right to resign for Good Reason. For purposes of the foregoing, “immediate reemployment”
means that the employee’s employment with the successor to the Company or an Affiliate or the purchaser of its assets, as the case may be, results in uninterrupted employment such that the employee does not incur a lapse in pay or
benefits as a result of the change in ownership of the Company or the sale of its assets. 
 (5) The employee is rehired by the
Company or an Affiliate and recommences employment prior to the date benefits under the Plan are scheduled to commence. 
 Section 3.
AMOUNT OF BENEFIT. 
 (a) Tiers. Benefit amounts under this Plan will be determined
based on Tiers, as follows: 
 Tier 1 = CEO 

Tier 2 = Employees at or above the level of SVP (not including Tier 1) 

Tier 3 = Employees at the VP Level (not including Tier 1 or Tier 2) 

(b) Regular Termination. Subject to the terms of the Plan, including, without limitation, execution of the required Release within the
applicable time period set forth herein and provided that such Release becomes effective in accordance with its terms, an Eligible Employee shall receive the following severance benefits upon a Regular Termination: 

(1) Cash Severance Benefit. 

(i) The employee will be entitled to a lump sum cash severance payment which shall be payable within ten (10) business days
following the effective date of the Release for the applicable amount indicated below (such period of months, the “Severance Period”): 
  

			
	 Tier
	  	 Severance Period

	Tier 1	  	12 months
	Tier 2	  	9 months
	Tier 3	  	6 months


  
 5. 













 (ii) Tier 1 and 2 employees will additionally be entitled to a portion of such
employee’s Target Bonus, if any, established for the employee by the Board for the year in which the Regular Termination occurs, in an amount equal to the employee’s annual Target Bonus for such year, if any,
pro-rated for the number of days in which the employee provided services to the Company in the year in with the Regular Termination occurs, which shall be payable in a lump sum payment within ten
(10) business days following the effective date of the Release. For the avoidance of doubt, Tier 3 employees will not be eligible for this benefit. 

(2) Payment of Continued Group Health Plan Benefits. If the employee timely elects continued group health plan continuation
coverage under COBRA the Company shall pay the full amount the employee’s COBRA premiums, or shall provide coverage under any self-funded plan, on behalf of the employee for his or her continued coverage under the Company’s group health
plans, including coverage for the employee’s eligible dependents, for the Severance Period (the “COBRA Payment Period”). Upon the conclusion of such period of insurance premium payments made by the Company, or the
provision of coverage under a self-funded group health plan, the employee will be responsible for the entire payment of premiums (or payment for the cost of coverage) required under COBRA for the duration of the employee’s eligible COBRA
coverage period. For purposes of this Section, (i) references to COBRA shall be deemed to refer also to analogous provisions of state law and (ii) any applicable insurance premiums that are paid by the Company shall not include any amounts
payable by the employee under an Internal Revenue Code Section 125 health care reimbursement plan, which amounts, if any, are the employee’s sole responsibility. 

(c) Change in Control Termination. Subject to the terms of the Plan, including, without limitation, execution of the required Release
within the applicable time period set forth herein and provided that such Release becomes effective in accordance with its terms, an Eligible Employee shall receive the following severance benefits upon a Change in Control Termination. For the
avoidance of doubt, in no event shall an employee be entitled to benefits under both Section 3(b) and this Section 3(c). If the employee is eligible for severance benefits under both Section 3(b) and this Section 3(c), the
employee shall receive the benefits set forth in this 3(c) and such benefits shall be reduced by any benefits previously provided to the employee under Section 3(b). 

(1) Cash Severance Benefit. 

(i) The employee will receive the cash severance benefit described in Section 3(b)(1)(i) above, except that the Severance Period
will be the applicable number of months provided below, and a lump sum payment shall be made within ten (10) business days following the later of (i) the effective date of the Release, or (ii) the effective date of the Closing. 

 

			
	 Tier
	  	 Severance Period

	Tier 1	  	18 months
	Tier 2	  	12 months
	Tier 3	  	9 months

 (ii) In addition, Tier 1 and 2 employees will be entitled to a payment equal to the Target Bonus, if
any, established for the employee by the Board for the year in which the Change in Control Termination occurs multiplied by the applicable multiple provided below (the “Bonus Multiple”), which shall be payable in a lump sum
payment within ten (10) business days following the later of (i) the effective date of the Release, or (ii) the effective date of the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, Tier 3 employees will not be eligible for this benefit. 

 

			
	 Tier
	  	Bonus Multiple
	Tier 1	  	1.5
	Tier 2	  	1


  
 6. 













 (2) Payment of Continued Group Health Plan Benefits. The employee will
receive the payment for continued group health plan benefits described in Section 3(b)(2) above, except that the COBRA Payment Period will be equal to the Severance Period applicable to a Change in Control Termination as set forth in
Section 3(c)(1)(i) above. 
 (3) Equity Vesting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the applicable
equity plans, the vesting and exercisability (if applicable) of all outstanding unvested time-based equity awards granted under the Company’s equity incentive plans that are held by the employee on the date of the Change in Control Termination
will be accelerated in full. With respect to any performance-based vesting equity award, such award shall continue to be governed in all respects by the terms of the applicable equity award documents. 

(d) Additional Benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole discretion, provide benefits to employees or
consultants who are not Eligible Employees (“Non-Eligible Employees”) chosen by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, and the provision of any such benefits to a Non-Eligible Employee shall in no way obligate the Company to provide such benefits to any other Non-Eligible Employee, even if similarly situated. If benefits under the Plan
are provided to a Non-Eligible Employee, references in the Plan to “Eligible Employee” (and similar references) shall be deemed to refer to such Non-Eligible
Employee. 
 (e) Certain Reductions. The Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the authority to reduce an Eligible
Employee’s severance benefits, in whole or in part, by any other severance benefits, pay and benefits provided during a period following written notice of a plant closing or mass layoff, pay and benefits in lieu of such notice, or other similar
benefits payable to the Eligible Employee by the Company or an Affiliate that become payable in connection with the Eligible Employee’s termination of employment pursuant to (i) any applicable legal requirement, including, without
limitation, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act or any other similar state law, (ii) any individually negotiated employment contract or agreement or any other written employment or severance agreement with the Company, or
(iii) any Company policy or practice providing for the Eligible Employee to remain on the payroll for a limited period of time (not to exceed sixty (60) days) after being given notice of the termination of the Eligible Employee’s
employment, and the Plan Administrator shall so construe and implement the terms of the Plan. Any such reductions that the Company determines to make pursuant to this Section 3(e) shall be made such that any benefit under the Plan shall be
reduced solely by any similar type of benefit under such legal requirement, agreement, policy or practice (i.e., any cash severance benefits under the Plan shall be reduced solely by any cash payments or severance benefits under such legal
requirement, agreement, policy or practice, and any continued insurance benefits under the Plan shall be reduced solely by any continued insurance benefits under such legal requirement, agreement, policy or practice). The Company’s decision to
apply such reductions to the severance benefits of one Eligible Employee and the amount of such reductions shall in no way obligate the Company to apply the same reductions in the same amounts to the severance benefits of any other Eligible
Employee, even if similarly situated. In the Company’s sole discretion, such reductions may be applied on a retroactive basis, with severance benefits previously paid being re-characterized as payments
pursuant to the Company’s statutory obligation. 

  
 7. 













 (f) Parachute Payments. 

(1) Any provision of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, if any payment or benefit an Eligible Employee would receive from the
Company pursuant to the Plan or otherwise (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the
excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment will be equal to the Reduced Amount (defined below). The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest
portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal,
state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in the Eligible Employee’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater
economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount,
reduction shall occur in the manner that results in the greatest economic benefit for the Eligible Employee. If more than one method of reduction will result in the same economic benefit, the items so reduced will be reduced pro rata. 

(2) In the event it is subsequently determined by the Internal Revenue Service that some portion of the Reduced Amount as determined
pursuant to clause (x) in the preceding paragraph is subject to the Excise Tax, the Eligible Employee agrees to promptly return to the Company a sufficient amount of the Payment so that no portion of the Reduced Amount is subject to the Excise
Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Reduced Amount is determined pursuant to clause (y) in the preceding paragraph, the Eligible Employee will have no obligation to return any portion of the Payment pursuant to the preceding sentence. 

(3) Unless the Eligible Employee and the Company agree on an alternative accounting firm, at the Company’s election, the
accounting firm engaged by the Company for general tax compliance purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the a change in ownership or control shall perform the foregoing calculations. If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company
is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the change in ownership or control, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall
bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder. 
 Section 4. RETURN
OF COMPANY PROPERTY. 
 An Eligible Employee will not be entitled to any severance benefit
under the Plan unless and until the Eligible Employee returns all Company Property. For this purpose, “Company Property” means all Company documents (and all copies thereof) and other Company property which the Eligible Employee had in his
or her possession at any time, including, but not limited to, Company files, notes, drawings, records, plans, forecasts, reports, studies, analyses, proposals, agreements, financial information, research and development information, sales and
marketing information, operational and personnel information, specifications, code, software, databases, computer-recorded information, tangible property and equipment (including, but not limited to, computers, facsimile machines, mobile telephones,
servers), credit cards, entry cards, identification badges and keys; and any materials of any kind which contain or embody any proprietary or confidential information of the Company (and all reproductions thereof in whole or in part). 

Section 5. TIME OF PAYMENT AND FORM OF
BENEFIT. 
 All severance payments under the Plan will be subject to applicable withholding for federal, state and local
taxes. If an Eligible Employee is indebted to the Company on his or her termination date, the Company reserves the right to offset any severance payments under the Plan by the amount of such indebtedness. All severance benefits provided under the
Plan are intended to satisfy the requirements for an exemption from application of Section 409A of the Code to the maximum extent that an exemption is available and any ambiguities herein shall be interpreted accordingly; provided, however,
that to the extent such an exemption is not available, the severance benefits provided under the Plan are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A to the extent necessary to avoid adverse personal tax consequences and any
ambiguities herein shall be interpreted accordingly. 

  
 8. 













 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any payments and benefits
provided under the Plan that constitute “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively
“Section 409A”) shall not commence in connection with an Eligible Employee’s termination of employment unless and until the Eligible Employee has also incurred a “separation from
service,” as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(h) (“Separation from Service”), unless the Company reasonably determines that such amounts may be
provided to the Eligible Employee without causing the Eligible Employee to incur the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A. 

It is intended that (i) each installment of any benefits payable under the Plan to an Eligible Employee be regarded as a separate
“payment” for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i), (ii) all payments of any such benefits under the Plan satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the
application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4) and 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), and (iii) any such benefits consisting of
COBRA premiums also satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemption from the application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v). However, if the Company
determines that any such benefits payable under the Plan constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A and the Eligible Employee is a “specified employee” of the Company, as such term is defined in
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, (A) the timing of such benefit payments shall be delayed until the earlier of
(1) the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day after the Eligible Employee’s Separation from Service and (2) the date of the Eligible Employee’s death (such applicable date, the “Delayed Initial Payment
Date”), and (B) the Company shall (1) pay the Eligible Employee a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the benefit payments that the Eligible Employee would otherwise have received through the Delayed Initial Payment Date if
the commencement of the payment of the benefits had not been delayed pursuant to this paragraph and (2) commence paying the balance, if any, of the benefits in accordance with the applicable payment schedule. 

In no event shall payment of any benefits under the Plan be made prior to an Eligible Employee’s termination date or prior to the
effective date of the Release. If the Company determines that any payments or benefits provided under the Plan constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A, and the Eligible Employee’s Separation from Service occurs at a
time during the calendar year when the Release could become effective in the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Eligible Employee’s Separation from Service occurs, then regardless of when the Release is returned to the
Company and becomes effective, the Release will not be deemed effective any earlier than the latest permitted effective date (the “Release Deadline”). If the Company determines that any payments or benefits provided under the
Plan constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A, then except to the extent that payments may be delayed until the Delayed Initial Payment Date pursuant to the preceding paragraph, on the first regular payroll date following
the effective date of an Eligible Employee’s Release, the Company shall (1) pay the Eligible Employee a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the benefit payments that the Eligible Employee would otherwise have received through such payroll
date but for the delay in payment related to the effectiveness of the Release and (2) commence paying the balance, if any, of the benefits in accordance with the applicable payment schedule. 

All severance payments under the Plan shall be subject to applicable withholding for federal, state and local taxes. If an Eligible Employee
is indebted to the Company at his or her termination date, the Company reserves the right to offset any severance payments under the Plan by the amount of such indebtedness.     

  
 9. 













 Section 6. REEMPLOYMENT. 

In the event of an Eligible Employee’s reemployment by the Company during the period of time in respect of which severance benefits
pursuant to the Plan have been paid, the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, may require such Eligible Employee to repay to the Company all or a portion of such severance benefits as a condition of reemployment. 

Section 7. RIGHT TO INTERPRET AND ADMINISTER PLAN;
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. 
 (a) Interpretation and Administration. Prior to the
Closing, the Board, or a duly authorized committee thereof, shall be the Plan Administrator and shall have the exclusive discretion and authority to establish rules, forms, and procedures for the administration of the Plan and to construe and
interpret the Plan and to decide any and all questions of fact, interpretation, definition, computation or administration arising in connection with the operation of the Plan, including, but not limited to, the eligibility to participate in the Plan
and amount of benefits paid under the Plan. The rules, interpretations, computations and other actions of the Board shall be binding and conclusive on all persons. Upon and after the Closing, the Plan will be interpreted and administered in good
faith by the Representative who shall be the Plan Administrator during such period. All actions taken by the Representative in interpreting the terms of the Plan and administering the Plan upon and after the Closing will be final and binding on all
Eligible Employees. Any references in this Plan to the “Board” or “Plan Administrator” with respect to periods following the Closing shall mean the Representative. 

(b) Amendment. The Plan Administrator reserves the right to amend this Plan at any time; provided, however, that any amendment of
the Plan will not be effective as to a particular employee who is or may be adversely impacted by such amendment or termination and has an effective Participation Agreement without the written consent of such employee. Any action amending the Plan
shall be in writing and executed by the Company’s Chairman of the Board (prior to the Closing) or the Representative (following the Closing). 

(c) Termination. The Plan shall have an initial term of five (5) years from the date of Board approval of the Plan and shall
automatically renew for successive two (2) year terms thereafter unless notice of termination of the Plan is given to all participants at least six (6) months in advance of any such renewal date; provided, however, that no such
termination shall occur once a Change in Control Period has commenced. In addition, no such termination may materially impair the rights of an Eligible Employee whose Covered Termination occurred prior to such termination, without the written
consent of such Eligible Employee.
