## Exhibit 10.1

2025 NOVOCURE LIMITED

EMPLOYEE SHARE PURCHASE PLAN

(Effective June 4, 2025)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.**Purpose**.

The purpose of the 2025 NovoCure Limited Employee Share Purchase Plan (the "**Plan**") is to encourage and enable eligible employees of NovoCure Limited (the "**Company**") and certain designated affiliated companies to acquire proprietary interests in the Company through the ownership of Ordinary Shares of the Company. The Company believes that employees who participate in the Plan will have a closer identification with the Company by virtue of their ability as shareholders to participate in the Company's growth and earnings. It is the intention of the Company to have the Plan qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of the Code with respect to Offerings to employees of the Company's U.S. Subsidiaries. Accordingly, the provisions of the Plan shall be construed so as to extend and limit participation in Section 423 Offerings in a manner consistent with the requirements of that section of the Code. The Plan replaces the NovoCure Employee Share Purchase Plan effective as of September 16, 2015 the "**Prior Plan**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.**Definitions**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)**"Annual Pay"** means an amount equal to the annual basic rate of pay of an Eligible Employee as determined from the payroll records of the Company or Designated Subsidiary, including amounts contributed by an Eligible Employee under Section 401(k) or 125 of the Code, but excluding all other cash compensation paid to an Eligible Employee during a Purchase Period by the Company or Designated Subsidiary. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Annual Pay shall not include overtime, bonuses, any contributions by the Company or Designated Subsidiary, to, or benefits paid under, the Plan or any other pension, profit-sharing, fringe benefit, group insurance or other employee welfare plan or any deferred compensation arrangement (other than pursuant to Section 401(k) or 125 of the Code), expenses and reimbursements, and any other special or extraordinary compensation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to a Purchase Period, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may adjust the types of compensation constituting Annual Pay; provided that any such determination shall be applied on a uniform and consistent basis to all Eligible Employees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)**"Board of Directors"** means the Board of Directors of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.**<u>Administration of the Plan</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Plan shall be administered by the Committee and the Committee may select an administrator or any other person to whom its duties and responsibilities hereunder may be delegated. The Committee shall have full power and authority, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to promulgate such rules and regulations as it deems necessary for the proper administration of the Plan, to interpret the provisions and supervise the administration of the Plan, and to take all actions in connection therewith or in relation thereto as it deems necessary or advisable. The Committee may adopt special guidelines and provisions for persons who are residing in, or subject to the laws of, jurisdictions outside of the United States to comply with applicable laws, including, without limitation, tax and securities laws. The Committee may require that Ordinary Shares be retained with such brokers or agents for a designated period of time and/or may establish other procedures to permit tracking of disqualifying dispositions of such Ordinary Shares. All interpretations and determinations of the Committee shall be made in its sole and absolute discretion based on the Plan document and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Committee may employ such legal counsel, consultants, brokers and agents as it may deem desirable for the administration of the Plan and may rely upon any opinion received from any such counsel or consultant and any computation received from any such consultant, broker or agent. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, designate an Agent to administer the Plan, purchase and sell Ordinary Shares in accordance with the Plan, keep records, send statements of account to employees and to perform other duties relating to the Plan, as the Committee may request from time to time. The Agent shall serve as custodian for purposes of the Plan and Ordinary Shares purchased under the Plan shall be held by and in the name of, or in the name of a nominee of, the custodian for the benefit of each Participant, who shall thereafter be a beneficial shareholder of the Company. The Committee may adopt, amend or repeal any guidelines or requirements necessary for the custody and delivery of the Ordinary Shares, including, without limitation, guidelines regarding the imposition of reasonable fees in certain circumstances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law and the Articles of Association of the Company and, to the extent not covered by insurance, indemnify each director, officer or employee of the Employer (including the heirs, executors, administrators and other personal representatives of such person) and each member of the Committee against all expenses, costs, liabilities and losses (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid or to be paid in

------

settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or actual suit, action or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative in nature or otherwise) in which such person may be involved by reason of the fact that he or she is or was serving this Plan in any capacity at the request of the Company, except in instances where any such person engages in willful misconduct or fraud or as otherwise prohibited by applicable law. Such right of indemnification shall include the right to be paid by the Company for expenses incurred or reasonably anticipated to be incurred in defending any such suit, action or proceeding in advance of its disposition; provided, however, that the payment of expenses in advance of the settlement or final disposition of a suit, action or proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder. Such indemnification shall be in addition to any rights of indemnification the person may have as a director, officer or employee or under the Articles of Association of the Company. Expenses incurred by the Committee or the Board of Directors in the engagement of any such counsel, consultant or agent shall be paid by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.Participation in the Plan.**

All subscription agreements entered into pursuant to the Prior Plan shall be honored under the Plan and all Prior Plan "Participants" shall automatically be Participants under the Plan on the Effective Date unless they withdraw as a "Participant" under the terms of the Prior Plan before the Effective Date.

Options to purchase the Ordinary Shares under the Plan shall be granted to all Eligible Employees; provided, however, that solely to the extent allowable under Section 423 of the Code with respect to a Section 423 Offering, the Committee may determine that an Offering of Ordinary Shares under the Plan will not be extended to highly compensated employees (within the meaning of Code Section 414(q)) with compensation above a certain level or who are officers or subject to the disclosure requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, provided the exclusion is applied in an identical manner to all highly compensated employees of the Employer. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, persons who are highly compensated employees (within the meaning of Code Section 414(q) with compensation at any level or who are officers or who are subject to the disclosure requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be eligible to participate in the Plan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employees who are citizens or residents of a foreign jurisdiction (without regard to whether they are also citizens of the United States or resident aliens within the meaning of Code Section 7701(b)(1)(A)) may not participate in the Plan, unless otherwise permitted by the Committee, if the grant of an Option under the Plan to such Employee is prohibited under the laws of the applicable foreign jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.Purchase Price.**

The purchase price for Ordinary Shares purchased pursuant to the Plan shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and shall remain in effect unless modified at least thirty (30) days prior to the applicable Offering Date, but in no event

------

shall be less than the lesser of eighty-five percent (85%) of the Market Price of an Ordinary Share on either the Offering Date or the Purchase Date. Effective as of the Effective Date until modified by the Committee, the price per Ordinary Share subject to an Offering shall be eighty-five percent (85%) of the lesser of (a) the Market Price of an Ordinary Share on the Offering Date or (b) the Market Price of an Ordinary Share on the Purchase Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.Method of Payment.**

Payment for Ordinary Shares purchased pursuant to the Plan shall be made in installments through payroll deductions, with no right of prepayment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.Employee's Election to Purchase; Grants of Options.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)In order to enroll and participate in the Plan, an Eligible Employee must make an election on a form provided by the Committee (or designee) stating the Eligible Employee's desire to purchase Ordinary Shares under the Plan during the Purchase Period in an amount (on an after-tax basis) not less than 1% but not more than 10% of the Eligible Employee's Annual Pay which he or she elects to have withheld each payroll period during the Purchase Period. In order to be given effect, an Eligible Employee's election to purchase Ordinary Shares must be delivered on or before the last day of the Subscription Period to the person or office designated by the Company to receive and accept such elections. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, once enrolled in the Plan, a Participant's payroll deduction authorization indicating his or her election to purchase Ordinary Shares shall remain in effect for subsequent Purchase Periods unless and until modified or canceled by the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Subject to the provisions of Section 8(c) below, once enrolled in the Plan, a Participant may only increase or decrease an existing payroll deduction authorization at the times and in accordance with procedures, if any, implemented by the Committee or its designee. A Participant may cancel an existing payroll deduction authorization at any time pursuant to Section 14(a) hereof and thereby terminate participation in the Plan with respect to a Purchase Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in no event shall a Participant be permitted to increase the rate of his or her payroll deductions under the Plan to an amount which would result in non-compliance with the limitations stated in Sections 11(a) or (b) hereof. Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 11(a) or (b) hereof, a Participant's payroll deductions may be decreased to zero percent (0%) at any time during a Purchase Period. Payroll deductions shall recommence at the rate provided in such Participant's election form at the beginning of the first Purchase Period which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless terminated by the Participant as provided in Section 14(a) hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)All payroll deductions made by a Participant shall be credited, without interest, to such Participant's account under the Plan. A Participant may not make any additional payments into such account except as otherwise provided herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)In the event a Participant makes a hardship withdrawal of employee deferral (401(k)) contributions under a 401(k) profit sharing plan of the Company, a

------

Subsidiary, or a Parent or an affiliate or any other plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code that contains a Code Section 401(k) feature, to the extent required by such plan or applicable law, such Participant's payroll deductions and the purchase of Ordinary Shares under the Plan shall be suspended until the first payroll period following the Offering Date commencing six (6) months after the date the Participant obtained the hardship withdrawal. If a Participant who elects a hardship withdrawal under such a 401(k) profit sharing plan or such other plan has a cash balance accumulated in his or her account at the time of the withdrawal that has not already been applied to purchase Ordinary Shares, such cash balance shall be returned to the Participant, without interest, as soon as administratively practicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.Exercise of Option.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)A Participant's election to purchase Ordinary Shares shall be exercised automatically on each Purchase Date following a Participant's election, and the maximum number of whole Ordinary Shares subject to such Option shall be purchased for such Participant at the applicable Option price with the accumulated payroll deductions in such Participant's account. In no event shall certificates for any fractional Ordinary Shares be issued under the Plan. Ordinary Shares shall be credited to the Participant's account as soon as administratively feasible after the Purchase Date. Any funds available from payroll deductions not used to purchase Ordinary Shares on the Purchase Date because such amount is insufficient to purchase a whole Ordinary Share (a "Fractional Rollover") will be carried over to the following Purchase Period or returned, without interest, to the Participant if the Participant timely withdraws from the Plan. All other payroll deductions credited to the Participant's account and not used to purchase Ordinary Shares on a Purchase Date shall be distributed to the Participant, without interest. All Fractional Rollovers held on behalf a Participant with respect to the last Purchase Period under the Prior Plan upon its termination will be held for the benefit of such Participant under the Plan and used to fund the purchase of Ordinary Shares during the first Purchase Period following the Effective Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If all or any portion of the Ordinary Shares that would otherwise be subject to Options granted on any Offering Date exceeds the number of Ordinary Shares then available under the Plan (after deduction of all Ordinary Shares for which Options have been exercised or are then outstanding) or if all or any portion of the Ordinary Shares cannot reasonably be purchased on the Purchase Date in the sole discretion of the Committee because of any other reason, the Committee shall make a pro rata allocation of the Ordinary Shares remaining available for Option grant in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine to be equitable. In such event, the Committee shall give written notice to each Participant of the reduction in the number of Ordinary Shares affected thereby and shall similarly reduce the rate of each Participant's payroll deductions, if necessary, and return any remaining payroll deduction balance credited, without interest, to each Participant as soon as practicable thereafter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.Delivery of Ordinary Shares.**

All the Ordinary Shares purchased by a Participant on a Purchase Date shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have been issued and sold as of the close of business on such Purchase Date. A Participant shall have none of the rights or privileges of a

------

shareholder of the Company with respect to Ordinary Shares covered by an Option until such Option has been exercised and the Participant has become a holder of record of the Ordinary Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise.

All the Ordinary Shares purchased pursuant to the Plan shall be delivered by the Company in a manner as determined from time to time, by the Board of Directors, the Committee or their designee. The Board of Directors or its Committee, in its discretion, may determine that the shares shall be delivered by the Company to the Participant by issuing and delivering a certificate for the number of Ordinary Shares purchased by a Participant on a Purchase Date, or that the Ordinary Shares purchased by a Participant on a Purchase Date, be delivered to a securities brokerage firm, as selected by the Board of Directors or its Committee, and such Ordinary Shares shall be maintained by the securities brokerage firm in separate Plan accounts for Participants.

Each certificate or investment account, as the case may be, will be in the name of the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.Limitations of Number of Ordinary Shares That May Be Purchased.**

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee prior to the commencement of a Purchase Period, no Participant may purchase more than 4,000 Ordinary Shares during any Purchase Period. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, no individual shall be granted an Option under the Plan:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)if, immediately after the grant, such individual (or any other person whose shares would be attributed to such individual pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) would own shares and/or hold outstanding Options to purchase shares possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of shares of the Company or of any Subsidiary or Parent; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)which permits such individual's right to purchase shares under all employee stock purchase plans (as described in Section 423 of the Code) of the Company and any Subsidiary or Parent to accrue at a rate which exceeds twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000) of fair market value of such shares (determined at the time such Option is granted) for any calendar year in which such Option is outstanding at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.Shareholder Rights.**

The Ordinary Shares purchased upon exercise of an Option hereunder shall be credited to the Participant's account under the Plan. Only upon the Participant becoming a holder of record of the Ordinary Shares shall a Participant obtain the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Ordinary Shares purchased, including, without limitation, any right to vote the Ordinary Shares or receive any dividends or any other distributions thereon. The Ordinary Shares purchased will be issued as soon as practicable after the Purchase Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.Rights to Purchase Ordinary Shares Not Transferable.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Neither payroll deductions credited to a Participant's account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an Option or to receive Ordinary Shares under the

------

Plan may be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as a cancellation of a Participant's election to purchase shares in accordance with Section 14 hereof. During a Participant's lifetime, a Participant's Option is exercisable only by him or her.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)All rights of a Participant granted under this Plan, including but not limited to, the grant of an Option, the right to exercise an Option and the ability to authorize payroll deductions shall relate solely to a Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.Cancellation of Election to Purchase.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)A Participant who has elected to purchase Ordinary Shares during a Purchase Period may cancel his or her election to purchase Ordinary Shares with respect to such Purchase Period. Any such cancellation shall apply to all payroll deductions withheld (and any other amounts credited to his or her account) during the Purchase Period. A cancellation shall be effective as soon as administratively feasible after the delivery by the Participant of sufficient prior written notice of cancellation on a form provided by, or acceptable to, the Company for such purpose to the office or person designated by the Company to receive such elections. In order to be given effect with respect to a Purchase Period, a notice of cancellation must be so delivered no later than the date set by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)A Participant's rights, upon the cancellation of his or her election to purchase Ordinary Shares, shall be limited to receiving in cash, as soon as practicable after delivery of the notice of cancellation, the cash balance (without interest) then credited to his or her account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)A Participant's cancellation of his or her election to purchase Ordinary Shares in an Offering shall not have any effect upon such Participant's eligibility to participate in a subsequent Offering or in any similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company, subject to the Participant's satisfaction of the eligibility requirements under such subsequent Offering or other Plan and properly enrolling in such subsequent Offering or other plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**15.Leave of Absence.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Subject to Section 15(b), in the event that, during a Purchase Period, a Participant is granted a paid leave of absence (including a military leave), the Participant's election for payroll deductions (i) shall continue in accordance with the Participant's prior election until the earlier of the end of the three-month period that commences on the first date of the Participant's paid leave or the Participant's cessation of the paid leave of absence (other than due to reemployment as an Eligible Employee with the Employer), and (ii) shall be deemed to have been canceled at the end of such earlier period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)An individual is treated as an Employee for the purposes of the Plan while the individual is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of such leave does not exceed three months, or if longer, so long as the individual's right to reemployment with the Employer is provided either by statute or by

------

contract (including, without limitation, leave provided under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 ("FMLA") or the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act ("USERRA")). If the period of leave exceeds three months and the individual's right to reemployment is not provided either by statute or by contract, the employment relationship for the purposes of the Plan is deemed to terminate on the first day immediately following such three-month period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**16.Termination of Continuous Service; Other Involuntary Withdrawal.**

If a Participant's Continuous Service terminates for any reason, or if a Participant ceases to be an Eligible Employee, the entire payroll deduction amount to the credit of such Participant, without interest, shall be refunded to such Employee and the Participant's ability to continue to purchase Ordinary Shares in the Plan shall cease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**17.Interest.**

Except as required by law, no interest shall accrue on or be payable with respect to the payroll deductions of a Participant in the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**18.Application of Funds.**

All funds received by the Company in payment for Ordinary Shares purchased under the Plan and held by the Company at any time may be used for any valid corporate purpose.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**19.Amendment and Termination.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Company, by action of the Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee) or the Committee may at any time terminate, amend or suspend the Plan. No such termination shall materially impair Options previously granted and no amendment may make any change in any Option theretofore granted which materially impairs the rights of any Participant. No amendment shall be effective unless approved by the shareholders of the Company if shareholder approval of such amendment is required to comply with Section 423 of the Code or to comply with any other applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule. No Options shall be granted under the Plan, and the Plan will automatically terminate, on the date prior to the 10<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the Effective Date. Upon termination of the Plan, the Company shall return or distribute the payroll deductions credited, without interest, to a Participant's account (that have not been used to purchase Ordinary Shares) and shall distribute or credit Ordinary Shares credited to a Participant's account. Upon suspending the Plan, any payroll deductions credited to a Participant's account (that have not been used to purchase Ordinary Shares) shall be used to purchase Ordinary Shares in accordance with Section 9 hereof, substituting the term Purchase Date with the effective date of the suspension of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Without shareholder consent and without regard to whether any Participant rights may be considered to have been "materially impaired," the Board of Directors or the Committee shall be entitled to change the purchase price, Purchase Periods, limit or increase the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during a Purchase Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll withholding in an amount

------

less than or greater than the amount designated by a Participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company's processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Ordinary Shares for each Participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the Participant's Compensation, and establish such other limitations or procedures as the Board of Directors or the Committee determines in its sole discretion advisable which are consistent with the Plan; provided, however, that changes to (i) the purchase price, (ii) the Purchase Period, (iii) the maximum percentage of Compensation that may be deducted pursuant to Section 8(a) or (iv) the maximum number of Ordinary Shares that may be purchased in an Offering Period, shall not be effective until communicated to Participants in a reasonable manner, with the determination of such reasonable manner in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors or the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**20.Reports.**

Individual accounts shall be maintained for each Participant in the Plan. Statements of account shall be given to Participants at such times prescribed by the Company; such statements may set forth the amounts of payroll deductions, the purchase price per Ordinary Share, the number of Ordinary Shares purchased, the aggregate Ordinary Shares in the Participant's account and the remaining cash balance, if any, or any other information as designated by the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**21.Effective Date; Governmental Approvals or Consents.**

The Plan was originally adopted by the Board of Directors in its resolution adopting the Plan on February 26, 2025, subject to shareholder approval of the Plan in accordance with the requirements of the laws of the Jersey, Channel Islands. The Plan will be submitted for shareholder approval at the Company's 2025 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and, if approved, will become effective as of such date of shareholder approval. The Plan and any Offerings and sales to Eligible Employees under it are subject to any governmental approvals or consents that may be or become applicable in connection therewith. The Board of Directors or the Committee may make such changes in the Plan and include such terms in any Offering under the Plan as may be necessary or desirable, in the opinion of counsel, so that the Plan will comply with the rules and regulations of any governmental authority and so that Eligible Employees participating in the Plan will be eligible for tax benefits under the Code or the laws of any state.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**22.Notices.**

All notices or other communications by a Participant to the Company or the Committee under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company or Committee at the location, or by the person, designated for the receipt thereof and within the time period prescribed by the Company or Committee. Each Participant shall be responsible for furnishing the Company with the current and proper address for the mailing of notices and the delivery of other information. Any notices or communications by the Company to a Participant shall be deemed given if directed to such address and mailed by regular United States mail, first-class and prepaid. If any item mailed to such address is

------

returned as undeliverable to the addressee, mailing shall be suspended until the Participant furnishes the proper address.

The Company shall not be obligated to issue any Ordinary Shares to a Participant if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, the issuance of such Ordinary Shares will constitute a violation by the Participant or the Company of any provisions of any rule or regulation of any governmental authority or any national securities exchange.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)To the extent required, the Plan is intended to comply with exemptive conditions under Rule 16b-3 and the Committee shall interpret and administer the provisions of the Plan in a manner consistent therewith. Any provisions inconsistent with Rule 16b-3 shall be inoperative and shall not affect the validity of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)The Plan is not subject to any of the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, nor is it intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**24.Restrictions.**

All certificates for Ordinary Shares delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such share transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable to assist in the compliance with any applicable tax withholding laws or under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Ordinary Shares are then listed or any national securities association system upon whose system the Ordinary Shares are then quoted, any applicable federal or state securities law, and any applicable corporate law and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**25.No Employment Rights.**

The establishment and operation of this Plan shall not confer any legal rights upon any Participant or other person for a continuation of employment, nor shall it interfere with the rights of an Employer to discharge any employee and to treat him or

------

her without regard to the effect which that treatment might have upon him or her as a Participant or potential Participant under the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**26.Severability of Provisions.**

If any provision of the Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**27.Construction.**

The use of a masculine pronoun shall include the feminine, and the singular form shall include the plural form, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The headings and captions herein are provided for reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part of the Plan, and shall not be employed in the construction of the Plan.
