**EXPLANATORY NOTE**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (the "Amendment") amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Inotiv, Inc., ("we", "us", "our", or the "Company") for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on December 5, 2025 (the "Original Form 10-K"). We are filing this Amendment to include the information required by Part III, which was omitted from the Original Form 10-K in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, since we will not file our definitive proxy statement within 120 days after our fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Amendment amends and restates in their entirety Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Part III of the Original Form 10-K and Item 15 of Part IV of the Original Form 10-K and includes certain exhibits as noted therein. The cover page of the Original Form 10-K is also amended to delete the reference to the incorporation by reference of the Company's definitive proxy statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Form 10-K, and this Amendment does not modify, amend or update in any way any of the financial or other information contained in the Original Form 10-K. This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the date of the filing of the Original Form 10-K. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K and with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of our Original Form 10-K.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), this Amendment also contains certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which are attached hereto. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. Terms used but not defined herein are as defined in our Original Form 10-K.

**<u>Board Independence</u>**

The Board of Directors has determined that, with the exception of Robert W. Leasure and John E. Sagartz, each of our current directors (Nigel Brown, Ph.D., Terry Coelho, Michael J. Harrington, David Landman and R. Matthew Neff) has no relationship with the Company that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that such individuals meet the current independence requirements of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and the SEC.

**<u>Board Leadership Structure</u>**

The roles of Chair of Board and Chief Executive Officer are currently split into two positions, with Mr. Neff holding the position of Chair of the Board. The Board of Directors believes that separating these roles aligns the Company with best practices for corporate governance of public companies and accountability to shareholders. The Board also believes that this separation provides a leadership model that clearly distinguishes the roles of the Board of Directors and management. The separation of the Chair and Chief Executive Officer positions has historically allowed our Chief Executive Officer to direct his or her energy towards operational and strategic issues while the non-executive Chair focuses on governance and shareholders. The Company generally believes that separating the Chair and Chief Executive Officer positions enhances the independence of the Board of Directors, provides independent business counsel for our Chief Executive Officer, and facilitates improved communications between Company management and members of the Board of Directors. In addition, in connection with the proposed settlement of certain derivative lawsuits in January 2026, subject to final court approval, the Company agreed to maintain a separate Chair and Chief Executive Officer and a fully independent Chair, for a period of at least five years.

**<u>Oversight of Risk Management</u>**

It is management's responsibility to manage our enterprise risks on a day-to-day basis. The Board of Directors is responsible for risk oversight by focusing on our overall risk management strategy and the steps management is taking to manage our risks. While the Board of Directors as a whole maintains ultimate oversight responsibility, the Board of Directors has delegated certain risk management oversight responsibilities to its various committees. The Audit Committee oversees management of market and operational risks that could have a financial impact, such as those relating to internal controls or liquidity. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing risks related to our compensation programs, including structuring and reviewing our executive compensation programs, considering whether such programs are in line with our strategic objectives and incentivizing appropriate risk-taking. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee manages risks associated with governance issues, such as the independence of the Board of Directors and key executive succession.

In addition to its formal compliance programs, the Board of Directors encourages management to promote a corporate culture that understands risk management and incorporates it into the overall corporate strategy and day-to-day business operations of the Company. The Company's risk management structure also includes an ongoing effort to assess and analyze the most likely areas of future risk for the Company and to address them in its long-term planning process.

**<u>Committees and Meetings of the Board of Directors</u>**

The Board of Directors has established Compensation, Audit and Nominating/Corporate Governance Committees. Scheduled meetings are supplemented by frequent informal exchanges of information and actions taken by unanimous written consents without meetings.

During fiscal 2025, no member of the Board of Directors attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of the meetings of the Board of Directors and meetings of any committee of the Board of Directors of which he or she was a member. All of the members of the Board of Directors are encouraged, but not required, to attend the Company's annual meetings of shareholders. All of our directors at the time attended the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders (the "2025 Annual Meeting"), in person or via the webcast.

The following chart shows the current members of, and the number of meetings held in fiscal 2025 by, each of the committees of the Board of Directors and the number of meetings held in fiscal 2025 of the Board of Directors:

**Committee Independence and Audit Committee Financial Experts**

The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for each of the Compensation Committee, the Audit Committee and the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, each of which can be found under the Investors/Corporate Governance tab on our website at www.inotiv.com. Compensation Committee, Audit Committee and Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee members are not employees of the Company and, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, are "independent" (as defined by applicable Nasdaq and SEC rules and regulations, including those pertaining to committee members). The Board of Directors has determined that each of R. Matthew Neff and Terry Coelho is an "audit committee financial expert" (as defined by Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K) based upon, among other criteria, their professional experience.

**Recommended Candidates for Director**

The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates for director persons recommended by shareholders entitled to vote on the election of directors. Such recommendations must be made to the Board of Directors in writing and delivered to Inotiv, Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 2701 Kent Avenue, West Lafayette, Indiana 47906. There is no fixed process for identifying and evaluating potential candidates to be nominees for directors, and there is no fixed set of qualifications that must be satisfied before a candidate will be considered. Rather, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee has the flexibility to consider such factors as it deems appropriate. These factors may include education, diversity, experience with business and other organizations comparable with the Company, the interplay of the candidate's experience with that of other members of the Board of Directors, and the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable addition to the Board of Directors and to any of the committees of the Board of Directors. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee does not have a formal policy regarding the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees, but the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee does consider, among other things, a director nominee's potential contribution to the diversity of background and experience of our Board of Directors, including with respect to age, gender, international background, race and specialized experience. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate nominees for director submitted by shareholders in the same manner in which it evaluates other director nominees.

A shareholder who wishes to nominate an individual for director without the recommendation of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee must comply with the advance notice and informational requirements set forth in our Bylaws.

**Board Diversity**

Board composition is a critical area of focus for the Board, and the Board seeks representation across a range of attributes, including age, ethnicity, gender, international background, and race. The Board considers diversity in its review of Board composition and also takes into account industry knowledge, executive experience, operational experience, scientific and academic expertise, geography, and personal background of each member of the Board and potential nominees to join the Board. The emphasis throughout the process of identifying, evaluating, and

------

nominating candidates and continuing members of the Board is to ultimately produce a group of directors that functions effectively as a leadership team.

The Board currently includes one female director and one racially/ethnically diverse director.

**Family Relationships**

There are no family relationships among the directors and executive officers of the Company.

**Communications with the Board of Directors**

Any shareholder who desires to contact members of the Board of Directors, including the non-management members as a group, may do so by writing to:

Corporate Secretary

Inotiv, Inc.

2701 Kent Avenue

West Lafayette, IN 47906

<u>secretary@inotiv.com</u>

The Corporate Secretary will collect all such appropriate communications and organize them by subject matter. Thereafter, each appropriate communication will be promptly forwarded to the relevant board committee chairperson according to the subject matter of the communication. Appropriate communications addressed to the non-management members as a group will be forwarded to each non-management member of the Board.

**Communications with the Audit Committee**

Any person who would like to contact the Company for the purpose of submitting a complaint or concern regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters may do so via email, by writing to:

Chairman of the Audit Committee

<u>auditcommittee@inotiv.com</u>

Upon receipt of a complaint, the Chairman of the Audit Committee will follow a review process and actions provided for in the Audit Committee's procedures to review and address the complaint.

**Code of Business Conduct and Ethics**

The Company maintains a Global Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to all directors, officers and employees of the Company. The Global Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on the Company's website at <u>www.inotiv.com</u>. We intend to disclose any changes in, or waivers from, our code of ethics applicable to any relevant officer on our website or by filing a Form 8-K with the SEC.

**Insider Trading Policy; Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy**

We have an Insider Trading Policy governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by directors, officers, and employees of the Company. The Insider Trading Policy is designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules, and regulations and any applicable listing standards. The policy also requires the Company to comply with insider trading laws when transacting in its own securities.

Our Insider Trading Policy also prohibits our executive officers and directors from: pledging our stock; engaging in short sales of our stock; buying or selling put or call options or other derivative securities based on our stock; purchasing any financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds) or otherwise engaging in transactions that are designed to or have the effect of hedging or offsetting

------

any decrease in the market value of our stock; and engaging in limit orders or other pre-arranged transactions that execute automatically, except for same-day limit orders and approved 10b5-1 plans.

**Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports**

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder require directors and certain officers and persons who own more than ten percent of any class of our voting securities to file reports of their ownership of our common shares and changes in their ownership with the SEC. Based on a review of reports filed by these reporting persons and written representations by our directors and executive officers, we believe that all of our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of any class of our voting securities complied with all filing requirements applicable to them during fiscal 2025, except that Ms. Castetter filed one Form 4 late reporting the grant of stock options.

**ITEM 11 – EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.**

**Compensation Discussion and Analysis**

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis ("CD&A") section discusses the compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to our named executive officers ("Named Executive Officers" or "NEOs") for fiscal 2025, who were:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Robert W. Leasure, Jr., our President and Chief Executive Officer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Beth A. Taylor, our Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• John E. Sagartz, DVM, Ph.D., DACVP, our Chief Strategy Officer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Andrea M. Castetter, our Executive Vice President, General Counsel, Corporate Secretary and Chief Compliance Officer; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adrian P. Hardy, Ph.D., our Chief Commercial Officer.

*Compensation Committee and Process*

During fiscal 2025, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors was responsible for administering the compensation and benefit programs for the Company's team members, including its executive officers. The Compensation Committee annually reviews and evaluates cash compensation and stock option and other equity award recommendations from management along with the rationale for such recommendations, as well as summary information regarding the aggregate compensation provided to the Company's executive officers. The Compensation Committee examines these recommendations in relation to the Company's overall objectives.

In addition to reviewing market data as further described below, the Compensation Committee considers internal performance evaluations, strategic contributions, and each executive's role in advancing the Company's financial and operational priorities. No single factor is determinative, and the Compensation Committee exercises independent judgment in establishing compensation levels and performance objectives.

The Compensation Committee also considered the CEO's evaluations of each of the other NEOs' performance and his recommendations for any adjustments to their base salaries and incentive target award levels. It is important to note that the Compensation Committee retains full discretion to accept, reject, or modify the CEO's recommendations, and the NEOs did not participate in these discussions. No officer participates in the decisions of the Board as to his or her compensation package. In addition, the CEO is not present during any Compensation Committee deliberations or voting with respect to his compensation.

*Results of Prior Stockholder Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation*

------

In establishing executive compensation, the Compensation Committee considers, among other factors, the results of the votes on the say-on-pay proposal when applicable. At the Company's 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, such proposal received 96% approval of votes cast on that proposal.

*Compensation Philosophy and Objectives*

Our compensation program aims to motivate our executives and other salaried employees to implement our business strategies and achieve improved company performance, all while upholding our core values. Although our compensation program covers key salaried employees, this CD&A specifically focuses on how our compensation policies and practices relate to our NEOs.

The Company's executive compensation practices are affected by the highly competitive nature of the biotechnology industry. The Company has historically developed compensation packages for the Company's executive officers that meet each of the following three criteria: (1) market compensation levels competitive with companies of similar size, geographic characteristics and performance to the Company; (2) performance-based "at risk" pay; and (3) shareholder-aligned incentives that are structured to create alignment between the shareholders and executives with respect to short-term and long-term objectives.

*Use of Compensation Consultant* 

The Compensation Committee is authorized by its charter to retain independent compensation consultants and other advisors. For fiscal 2025 compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee engaged Meridian Compensation Partners LLC ("Meridian"), an independent compensation consulting firm, to serve as its independent consultant with respect to executive compensation programs. Meridian reports directly to the Compensation Committee.

Meridian provides various executive compensation consulting services to the Compensation Committee, which generally include advising the Compensation Committee on the principal aspects of our executive compensation program, advising on changing industry practices, and providing market information and analysis regarding the competitiveness of our program design.

To maintain the independence of the firm's advice, the compensation consultant does not provide services or products of any kind to the Company or its affiliates or to their management, other than in its capacity as an advisor to the Board and its committees. The Compensation Committee has assessed the independence of Meridian pursuant to Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules and concluded that no conflict of interest exists that would prevent Meridian from serving as an independent consultant to the Compensation Committee.

*Market Comparisons*

To assist in establishing the fiscal 2025 executive compensation, the Compensation Committee engaged Meridian to provide a market competitiveness analysis. These market assessments informed the Compensation Committee's decisions regarding appropriate compensation levels for fiscal 2025, consistent with the Company's compensation strategies, philosophies, and objectives. The Compensation Committee reviewed third-party compensation survey data, which generally reflected companies in similar sectors with revenue ranges comparable to the Company. When reviewing market analyses, the Compensation Committee typically references a range around the 50<sup>th</sup> percentile pay levels as a general point of comparison. However, the survey data is used as a directional reference rather than a prescriptive benchmark, and the Compensation Committee does not maintain a formal peer group or apply fixed percentile targets.

*Executive Compensation Components and Fiscal 2025 Determinations*

<u>Base Salary</u>. The base salary payable to each NEO is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive's level or responsibility, experience, knowledge, performance, and internal equity considerations. During fiscal 2025, the Compensation Committee approved base salary increases for each NEO,with

------

half of the increase effective in May 2025 and the other half of the increase effective in September 2025, resulting in the base salary amounts for each NEO as follows as of the end of the applicable fiscal year:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **Fiscal 2024 Base Salary** | **Fiscal 2025 Base Salary** |
| Robert W. Leasure, Jr. | $800000 | $850000 |
| Beth A. Taylor | $410000 | $434600 |
| John E. Sagartz, DVM, Ph.D., DACVP | $400000 | $418000 |
| Andrea M. Castetter | $385000 | $415800 |
| Adrian P. Hardy, Ph.D. | $378000 | $391986 |

---

<u>Cash Incentive Compensation</u>*.* For fiscal year 2025, the Compensation Committee recognized that because the Company faced challenging economic conditions, coupled with market uncertainties that were outside its control, it could not reasonably establish performance metrics and goals for fiscal 2025, and therefore, any cash bonus amounts would be discretionary. However, the Compensation Committee decided to approve a target annual incentive award amount for each NEO for fiscal year 2025 that would be utilized as part of the Compensation Committee's discretionary bonus determinations and that would constitute the "target annual incentive award amount" for purposes of the Company's Executive Change in Control Severance Plan for the NEOs. The following target annual incentive award amounts were approved for each NEO:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **2025 Target Annual Incentive Award Amount** |
| Robert W. Leasure, Jr. | $800000 |
| Beth A. Taylor | $100000 |
| John E. Sagartz, DVM, Ph.D., DACVP | $80000 |
| Andrea M. Castetter | $85000 |
| Adrian P. Hardy, Ph.D. | $80000 |

---

Following the end of fiscal 2025, the Compensation Committee reviewed Company and individual performance during fiscal 2025, and while it recognized the substantial contributions made by the NEOs in fiscal 2025, the Compensation Committee determined that no annual cash bonus amounts would be paid to any of the NEOs relative to fiscal 2025 performance.

<u>Long-Term Equity Awards</u>*.* The Board of Directors and Compensation Committee believe that aligning the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders is essential to fostering long-term growth and value creation. To this end, the Company may grant discretionary equity awards to key executives, designed with the following objectives:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Create Alignment with Stockholder Interests:* Equity awards are intended to link executive compensation directly to the Company's stock performance, encouraging a focus on long-term shareholder value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Promote Achievement of Long-Term Financial and Strategic Objectives:* Equity awards incentivize executives to execute strategies that enhance the Company's sustained financial health and strategic positioning over multiple years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Reward Long-Term Growth and Performance:* By providing equity-based incentives, the Company recognizes and rewards executives for delivering sustained growth and achieving key performance milestones.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Encourage Executive Retention:* The structure of these awards aims to motivate executives to remain committed to the Company over the long term, reducing turnover and promoting stability.

------

The discretionary nature of these awards allows the Compensation Committee to tailor grants based on individual performance, strategic contributions, and overall Company performance, aligning the incentives with our long-term vision and shareholder interests.

With respect to equity awards granted in 2025, the Compensation Committee approved discretionary equity awards, consisting of stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs"). The Compensation Committee believes that the mix of RSUs and stock options continues to promote sustained long-term performance and retention. When determining the amount of each equity award, the Compensation Committee considered factors including each NEO's position and scope of responsibility, the importance of retaining the services of the NEO, and the NEO's opportunity to drive Company performance and contributions to the long-term success of the Company.

*Executive Employment and Severance Arrangements*

The Company has an Executive Change in Control Severance Plan, in which all of the NEOs participate. The Company also has employment or offer letter arrangements with each of the NEOs. See "—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control" for additional information on these arrangements.

*Compensation Risks*

The Company has reviewed the elements of executive compensation to determine whether any portion of executive compensation encouraged excessive risk taking. It concluded that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The combination of base salary and incentive compensation, including annual incentive compensation and long-term incentive compensation, reduces the significance of any one particular compensation element.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Vesting periods for equity compensation awards, which historically have consisted of option grants and RSUs, encourages long-term perspectives among award recipients.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company's clawback policy provides for recovery of incentive-based compensation due to an accounting restatement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Compensation Committee approves all NEO awards to ensure oversight, accountability, and transparency, thereby mitigating risks related to financial, reputational, and regulatory issues.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company's performance goals are appropriately set in order to avoid targets that, if not met, result in a large percentage loss of compensation.

Based on the foregoing, we have concluded that our compensation policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

*Policies and Procedures Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards*

The Company has established processes designed to ensure that the timing of any option grants and other awards to executive officers is not influenced by material nonpublic information ("MNPI"), and grants are generally made at least two days after the issuance of an earnings release and the filing of a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, regardless of any upcoming announcements or events that could impact the Company's share price. The Compensation Committee carefully reviews any potential MNPI before granting options and will delay a grant if necessary to avoid any appearance of impropriety related to the timing of the award.

With respect to the option awards disclosed in the table below, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the voting results from the Company's 2025 annual meeting of shareholders on March 13, 2025, and the option award to Mr. Leasure that is disclosed below was made on March 14, 2025. The Company believes that a full trading day is sufficient time for the information in the Current Report on Form 8-K to be publicly disseminated and reflected in the price of the Company's common shares.

------

The following table contains information required by Item 402(x)(2) of Regulation S-K about the stock options granted to Mr. Leasure in fiscal 2025 during the period from four business days before to one business day after the filing of the Company's Current Report on 8-K described above.

| Robert W. Leasure, Jr. | 3/14/2025 | 429730 | $2.79 | $931588 | 2.4% |

---

*Clawback Policy*

We have a Compensation Recovery Policy as required by applicable Nasdaq listing standards (the "Clawback Policy"). The Clawback Policy applies to all incentive-based compensation, which is any compensation that is granted, earned, or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a financial reporting measure, received by officers of the Company, as defined under Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act ("executive officers").

The Clawback Policy applies in the case of an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period. The Clawback Policy provides that promptly following such an accounting restatement, the Compensation Committee will determine the amount of the erroneously awarded compensation, which is the excess of the amount of incentive-based compensation received by current and former executive officers during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the required restatement date over the amount of incentive-based compensation that otherwise would have been received had it been determined based on the restated amounts. The Company will provide each such executive officer with a written notice of such amount and a demand for repayment or return. If such repayment or return is not made within a reasonable time, the Clawback Policy provides that the Company will recover the erroneously awarded compensation in a reasonable and prompt manner using any lawful method, subject to limited exceptions as permitted by Nasdaq listing standards.

*Tax Matters*

Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation of more than $1 million paid in any taxable year to certain current and former named executive officers. As a general matter, while the Compensation Committee is mindful of the benefit to the Company of the full deductibility of compensation, it believes that it should maintain flexibility in compensating the Company's executive officers in a manner that can best promote our corporate objectives.

**Report of Compensation Committee**

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management. Based upon this review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Amendment.

**Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation**

None of the members of the Compensation Committee is or has been an employee of the Company or any of the Company's subsidiaries.

On January 25, 2022, the Board of Directors approved, and on March 14, 2025, the Compensation Committee approved amendments to, the Inotiv, Inc. Executive Change in Control Severance Plan for certain of its senior executives (as amended and restated, the "CIC Plan"). The CIC Plan provides for certain payments and the vesting of certain equity awards upon a termination of a participant's employment by the Company without Cause (as defined below) or by the participant for Good Reason (as defined below) (each a "Qualifying Termination") within 24 months following a Change in Control (as defined below) of the Company. The Compensation Committee of the Board determines which executives of the Company become participants in the CIC Plan.

------

"Cause" is defined in the CIC Plan as the meaning set forth in an employment or consulting agreement or, if no such agreement or definition, as: (a) the refusal or neglect of the participant to perform substantially his or her services; (b) the participant's personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct or breach of fiduciary duty; (c) the participant's indictment for, conviction of or entering a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a crime constituting a felony or his or her willful violation of any applicable law (other than a traffic violation or other offense or violation outside of the course of the provision of services which in no way adversely affects the Company or reputation or the ability of the participant to perform services; (d) the participant's failure to reasonably cooperate, following a request to do so by the Company, in any internal or governmental investigation of the Company; or (e) the participant's material breach of any written covenant or agreement with the Company.

"Good Reason" is defined in the CIC Plan as the occurrence of any of the following without the consent of the affected participant, subject to certain notice and cure rights: (i) a diminution of the participant's title, duties and responsibilities, (ii) a reduction in base salary or target bonus opportunity, and (iii) the relocation of the principal place of business where the participant provides services to the Company by more than 50 miles.

"Change in Control" is defined in the CIC Plan as the occurrence of any one of the following events: (a) any person or group becomes the Beneficial Owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing a majority of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities (assuming conversion of all outstanding non-voting securities into voting securities and the exercise of all outstanding options or other convertible securities); (b) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company with any other corporation, other than (i) a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent a majority of the combined voting power of the securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (ii) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no person is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing a majority of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities; or (c) the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or there is consummated an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, other than a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to an entity a majority of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which is owned by substantially all of the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such sale in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale.

The CIC Plan provides for the following benefits upon a Qualifying Termination of a participant within 24 months following a Change in Control: (i) cash severance to be paid in a lump sum within 45 days of a Qualifying Termination in an amount equal to 1.0 to 3.0 times (depending upon the CIC plan tier to which the participant is assigned) the sum of the participant's base salary and target incentive award amount for the year of termination, plus a pro rata bonus for the year of termination; (ii) a prorated annual bonus equal to the product of the participant's target annual incentive award amount for the year in which the termination occurs and a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the participant was employed during the applicable fiscal year and the denominator of which is the number of days in such fiscal year; (iii) continuation of participation in the Company's group health, dental and vision plans for 18 months following termination at the same cost to the participant as the participant paid prior to termination; and (iv) up to $50,000 of outplacement services for 12 months following termination. With respect to the cash severance described in clause (i), the multipliers assigned to Tier I, Tier II and Tier III are 3.0 times, 2.0 times and 1.0 times, respectively. Receipt of severance benefits is conditioned on the delivery of a release from the participant and the participant's agreement to certain non-competition, employee and customer non-solicitation, confidentiality and non-disparagement restrictive covenants. The amount of severance benefits is subject to reduction in the event that the reduction would result in a greater after-tax benefit than the participant would receive if the participant received the full amount of the severance benefits and paid any excise tax required by Section 280G of the Code. The CIC Plan provides that in the event of a CIC, the terms of the applicable equity plan and award agreements shall control with respect to the treatment of outstanding equity awards held by the participant. The Committee has designated Robert W. Leasure, Jr., the Company's President and Chief Executive

------

Officer, as a Tier I participant in the CIC Plan and has designated Ms. Taylor, Dr. Sagartz, Ms. Castetter and Dr. Hardy as Tier II participants in the CIC Plan.

All unvested portions of awards held by a participant on the date of the participant's death or separation from service due to the participant's disability shall vest immediately as of such date.

All vested portions of awards (other than vested portions of stock options) held by the participant on the date of the participant's death or separation from service (for reasons other than Cause (as defined in the 2018 Plan)), as the case may be, shall be paid in accordance with the payout schedule applicable to vested awards; and all vested portions of stock options held by the participant on the date of the participant's death or separation from service (for

------

reasons other than Cause), as the case may be, shall remain exercisable for 30 days following such separation from service (but not beyond the expiration of the term of the stock option) except as otherwise provided below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If the participant retires, he or she may exercise all outstanding, vested options (or portions thereof) as of the date of retirement for a period of three months thereafter (but not beyond the expiration of the term of the stock option);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If the participant becomes disabled, he or she may exercise all outstanding, vested options (or portions thereof) as of the date of disability for a period of 12 months thereafter (but not beyond the expiration of the term of the stock option); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If the participant dies, his or her beneficiary or estate, if no beneficiary, may exercise outstanding, vested options (or portions thereof) as of the date of the participant's death for a period of 12 months thereafter (but not beyond the expiration of the term of the stock option).

Unless otherwise provided pursuant to any written agreement, if a participant incurs a separation from service for Cause, all awards held by a participant on the date of such separation from service for Cause, whether vested or unvested, shall immediately be forfeited by such participant as of such date.

In the event of a Change in Control, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee at the time of grant or by amendment (with the award holder's consent) of such grant or as otherwise provided under the terms of any applicable agreement between the Company and an award recipient under the 2018 Plan or as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 4.4 of the 2018 Plan:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• With respect to any outstanding full value awards under the 2018 Plan, restrictions and vesting conditions applicable to the full value award that are based upon one or more performance factors shall lapse with respect to a pro-rata portion (based on the number of days from the beginning of the applicable performance period to and including the date of the Change in Control) of the number of shares subject to such full value award that would have been earned by the award holder (i) with respect to market-based goals, determined as the greater of the target goal or the transaction price with respect to the Company's common shares on the effective date of the Change in Control, and (ii) with respect to performance-based goals, determined as the greater of the target goal or as determined by actual performance in accordance with the underlying plan formula as of the date of the Change in Control; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the payment date of all vested RSUs.

**Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control**

The table below reflects the estimated value of compensation and benefits payable to each of our NEOs upon certain types of terminations or a change in control. The amounts in the table are based on a hypothetical termination of employment or change in control using a date of September 30, 2025, the last day of fiscal 2025. For purposes of the assumed bonus payments, the "target annual incentive award amount" approved by the Compensation Committee with respect to fiscal 2025 for each NEO, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis below, is utilized and referred to as "target bonus" below.

(a) Represents cash payments upon termination, determined as follows; Mr. Leasure Jr. = 3 times base salary, plus 3 times target bonus; Ms. Taylor = 2 times base salary, plus 2 times target bonus; Dr. Sagartz = 2 times base salary, plus 2 times target bonus; Ms. Castetter = 2 times base salary, plus 2 times target bonus; and Dr. Hardy = 2 times base salary, plus 2 times target bonus.

(b) Represents the target bonus amount for each NEO, which would have been pro-rated if the termination had occurred prior to the last day of the fiscal year

(c) Represents continuation of health and welfare benefits for 18 months following termination at the same cost to the participant as the participant paid prior to termination and 12 months of outplacement services.

(d) Amounts represent the value of any unvested RSUs and "in-the-money" stock options held by the NEO that would vest as a result of the specified termination event. With respect to RSUs, the value is calculated by multiplying the number of unvested RSUs that would vest by $1.45, the closing price of our common shares on September 30, 2025, and with respect to options, the value is calculated by multiplying the number of such unvested stock options that would vest by the difference between $1.45 and the exercise price of such stock options.

(e) Amounts determined as prescribed within Mr. Leasure's employment agreement, other than the value of accelerated equity awards which is determined by the applicable equity plan and award agreement.

(f) The value of accelerated equity awards in this row would also apply in the event of a change in control where another award that is substantially similar is not provided to the NEO to replace a then-outstanding award.

(g) Amounts determined as prescribed within Dr. Sagartz's employment agreement.

**CEO Pay Ratio Disclosure**

Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, we are required to disclose the ratio of the annual total compensation of our principal executive officer, our CEO, Mr. Leasure, to our median employee's annual total compensation.

We used the following material assumptions to identify the median employee, to determine the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees and to determine the annual total compensation of the "median employee" and our CEO for fiscal 2025:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)We determined, as of September 30, 2025, our gross employee population of individuals working at our parent company and consolidated subsidiaries. This population consisted of our full-time, part-time, temporary and seasonal employees. Our employee population consisted of 2,189 employees based in the U.S. and Europe.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)We determined our median employee based on each employee's base salary paid during fiscal 2025 as reflected in our payroll records. Once we identified our median employee, that employee's annual total compensation was calculated using the same methodology required for disclosure of the annual total compensation of the CEO, under the requirements established by the SEC, in the Summary Compensation Table.

The CEO pay ratio reported below (i.e., the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees, except the CEO) was determined using reasonable estimates as permitted by SEC's rules. This ratio should not be used as a comparison with pay ratios disclosed by other companies, as there may be material differences in the methodologies used by other companies to estimate their CEO pay ratios, as well as differences in worker populations, geographic locations, business strategies and compensation practices.

**Non-Employee Director Compensation and Benefits**

The Company's compensation package for non-employee directors is generally comprised of annual cash retainers and equity awards. The annual pay package is designed to attract and retain highly-qualified, independent professionals to represent the Company's shareholders and reflect the Company's position in the industry. There were no changes to the annual compensation package for non-employee directors for fiscal 2025. Actual annual pay varies among directors based on Board committee memberships and committee chair responsibilities. The Company

------

has not adopted guidelines with respect to non-employee director ownership of common shares. Directors who are employees receive no additional compensation for their service on the Board.

*Cash Compensation*

Cash compensation for non-employee directors during fiscal 2025 consisted of the following:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Type of Compensation** | **Annual Amount ($)** |
| Retainer for Board membership | 55000 |
| Retainer for Chairman of the Board | 50000 |

| Retainer for member of the Compensation Committee other than Chair | 7500 |
| Retainer for member of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee other than Chair | 5000 |

---

*Equity Awards*

In fiscal 2025, each non-employee director received a grant of 39,392 RSUs on March 14, 2025, with a value of approximately $110,000. These RSUs vest on March 14, 2026 (or immediately prior to the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders if stepping down from the Board), provided that the individual continues to serve as a director of the Company through that date.

Beginning in fiscal 2025, directors have the ability to defer the settlement of the annual award of RSUs that they receive. Each of Mr. Brown and Mr. Neff elected to defer the settlement of his fiscal 2025 annual award of RSUs.

*Business Expenses*

The directors are reimbursed for their business expenses related to their attendance at the Company meetings, including room, meals, and transportation to and from Board and committee meetings. Directors are also encouraged to attend educational programs related to Board issues and corporate governance, which are reimbursed by the Company.

*Non-Employee Directors' Compensation Table*

The following table shows information regarding the compensation of the Company's non-employee directors for fiscal 2025.

**ITEM 13 – CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.**

**Family Relationships**

There are no family relationships among the directors and executive officers of the Company.

**Certain Relationships and Transactions**

Since October 1, 2024, we have not been a party to any, and there are no currently proposed, transactions in which the amount exceeded or will exceed $120,000, and in which any director, executive officer or holder of more than 5% of any class of our voting stock, or any member of the immediate family of or entities affiliated with any of them, had or will have a material direct or indirect interest.

We maintain a written policy for the approval of any related person transactions. A "Related Person," for purposes of our policy, means all directors and executive officers of the Company, any nominee for director of the Company, any immediate family member of a director, nominee for director or executive officer of the Company, and any holder of more than five percent (5%) of the Company's common stock, or an immediate family member of such holder.

Under the Related Person Transaction Approval Policy, any transaction, arrangement or relationship or series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships in which the Company (including any of its subsidiaries) is or will be a participant and in which a Related Person has a direct or indirect interest (a "Related Persons Transaction") must be approved by the Audit Committee, except that the following transactions, arrangements or relationships are exempt under the policy:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• payment of compensation by the Company to a director or executive officer of the Company for such person's service to the Company in that capacity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• transactions available to all employees or all stockholders of the Company on the same terms; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• transactions that, when aggregated with the amount of all other transactions between the Company and the Related Person or any entity in which the Related Person has an interest, involve $120,000 or less in a fiscal year.

In determining whether to approve a Related Persons Transaction, the Audit Committee will consider the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether the terms are fair to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether the transaction is material to the Company;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the role the Related Person has played in arranging the Related Person Transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the structure of the Related Person Transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the interests of all Related Persons in the Related Person Transaction; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether the transaction has the potential to influence the exercise of business judgment by the Related Person or others.

A Related Person Transaction will only be approved by the Audit Committee if the Audit Committee determines that the Related Person Transaction is beneficial to the Company and the terms of the Related Person Transaction are fair to the Company.

**Director Independence**
