On March 9, 2023, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Arcus Biosciences, Inc. (the "Company") appointed Alexander Azoy to serve as the Company's Principal Accounting Officer. Concurrent with Mr. Azoy's appointment as the Company's Principal Accounting Officer, Robert C. Goeltz II, the Company's Chief Financial Officer (and in such role was the Company's Principal Financial Officer), ceased to function as the Company's Principal Accounting Officer. Mr. Azoy will continue to report to Mr. Goeltz.

Mr. Azoy, age 47, has served as the Company's Vice President of Finance since October 2020. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Azoy has held various roles with responsibility for finance, accounting and tax functions, serving companies in the life sciences, consumer products and media and entertainment sectors. Mr. Azoy was previously the Vice President of Finance, Controller at Unity Biotechnology, Inc., from February 2020 to September 2020 and held roles of increasing responsibility at Sienna Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., from December 2017 to December 2019, most recently as Chief Financial Officer, where he oversaw finance and accounting operations, financial planning and analysis, and investor relations. From March 2015 until December 2015, Mr. Azoy was the Corporate Controller for Kythera Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. which was acquired by Allergan plc., where he had responsibility for the company's accounting and reporting functions while preparing the company for its first commercial product launch. From 2003 to 2013, he was with Ernst & Young's audit practice, serving companies in the life sciences and consumer products sectors.

Mr. Azoy holds a B.S. in Accounting from California State University, Northridge. He is a certified public accountant in California and a member of the California Society of Certified Public Accountants.

Mr. Azoy has entered into the Company's standard form of severance and change of control agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Azoy will receive specified cash severance, medical premium payments and accelerated vesting of equity awards in the event his employment with the Company terminates under specified conditions within 12 months following a change of control of the Company. Mr. Azoy will also participate in the Company's severance program for terminations without cause that are not in connection with a change of control, pursuant to which, upon the occurrence of such an event, Mr. Azoy would receive specified cash severance and medical premium payments and may receive his pro-rata bonus based on the number of days that he was employed during the year of termination.
