To the shareholders of NovoCure Limited:

**NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN** that the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders ("Annual Meeting") of NovoCure Limited, a Jersey (Channel Islands) corporation (the "Company", "Novocure", "we", "us" or "our"), will be held on June 3, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. U.S. Eastern Time ("ET"), at Second Floor, No. 4 The Forum, Grenville Street, St. Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands JE2 4UF.

The purpose of the Annual Meeting is to consider and take action on the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.To elect eleven directors named in the Proxy Statement to hold office for a one-year term expiring at our 2027 annual general meeting of shareholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until their offices are vacated;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.The approval and ratification of the appointment, by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors (the "Board"), of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global ("EY Global"), as the auditor and independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.A non-binding advisory vote to approve executive compensation; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.Approve the Amendment and Restatement of our 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan to increase the number of available Ordinary Shares for issuance thereunder.

The foregoing items of business will be proposed as ordinary resolutions. These proposals are more fully described in the Proxy Statement. Only shareholders who owned our Ordinary Shares at the close of business on April 6, 2026 (the "Record Date") can vote at this meeting or at any adjournments that take place or postponements thereof.

A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote in the place of such shareholder and such proxy or proxies need not also be a shareholder of the Company. We have elected to use the Internet as our primary means of providing our proxy materials to shareholders. Consequently, you will not receive paper copies of our proxy materials (including the proxy card), unless you specifically request such materials. We will send a notice regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials (the "Notice of Internet Availability") on or about April 20, 2026 to our shareholders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date. The Notice of Internet Availability contains instructions for accessing the proxy materials on the Internet, including the Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the "Annual Report"), and provides information on how shareholders may obtain paper copies free of charge. The Notice of Internet Availability also provides the date, time and location of the Annual Meeting, the matters to be acted upon at the meeting and the recommendation from our Board with regard to each matter, and information on how to attend the meeting. Electronic delivery of our proxy materials will significantly reduce our printing and mailing costs and the environmental impact of mailing these materials.

It is important that your shares be represented and voted whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting in person. Other than voting in person at the Annual Meeting, you may vote over the Internet, by telephone or by

completing and mailing a proxy card or voting instruction card forwarded by your bank, broker or other holder of record. Voting over the Internet, by telephone or by written proxy will ensure your shares are represented at the Annual Meeting. Please review the instructions on the proxy card or voting instruction card forwarded by your bank, broker or other holder of record regarding each of these voting options.

Our Board recommends that you vote **FOR** the election of the director nominees named in Proposal 1 of the Proxy Statement, **FOR** the approval and ratification of the appointment of EY Global as our auditor and independent registered public accounting firm for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 in Proposal 2 of the Proxy Statement, **FOR** the non-binding advisory vote to approve executive compensation in Proposal 3 of the Proxy Statement, and **FOR** approval of the Amendment and Restatement of our 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan to increase the number of available Ordinary Shares for issuance thereunder in Proposal 4 of the Proxy Statement.

**Increased adoption of Tumor Treating Fields ("TTFields") therapy** 

• As of December 31, 2025, 4,620 active patients were using Optune Gio<sup>®</sup> and Optune Lua<sup>®</sup>, an increase of 12% from year-end 2024.

• Received CE Mark for the use of Optune Lua for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer ("NSCLC") concurrent with immune checkpoint inhibitor or docetaxel who have progressed on or after a platinum-based regimen. Following receipt of CE Mark, Novocure received local registration and launched Optune Lua for the treatment of NSCLC in Germany.

• Received approval from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare for the use of Optune Lua concurrent with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable advanced or recurrent NSCLC who have progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy.

The PANOVA-3 trial met its primary endpoint as patients treated with TTFields therapy, gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel exhibited a statistically significant extension in overall survival compared to patients treated with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel alone. The results of the PANOVA-3 trial were simultaneously published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. Following publication of final data, a premarket approval application for the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer was submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA").

• Presented final data from the Phase 3 METIS clinical trial, which explored the efficacy and safety of TTFields therapy together with best supportive care for the treatment of brain metastases from NSCLC following stereotactic radiosurgery at the 2025 American Society for Radiation Oncology Annual Meeting. The METIS trial met its primary endpoint as patients treated with TTFields therapy and best supportive care demonstrated a statistically significant extension in time to intracranial progression compared to patients treated with best supportive care alone. The results of the METIS trial were simultaneously published in the International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology and Physics. Following publication of final data, a premarket approval application for the treatment of brain metastases from NSCLC was submitted to the FDA.

**Developed and expanded our talent pool**

• Announced the promotion of then President, Frank Leonard, to the role of Chief Executive Officer, effective December 1, 2025.

**Created shareholder value by building a profitable business**

However, to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee authorizing you to vote at the Annual Meeting. Contact your broker, bank or other nominee to request a proxy form.

**How does the Board recommend I vote on the Proposals?**

Our Board recommends that you vote:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **FOR** the election of each of the director nominees named in this Proxy Statement (Proposal 1);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **FOR** the approval and ratification of the appointment of EY Global as our auditor and independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 (Proposal 2);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **FOR** the non-binding advisory resolution to approve our executive compensation (Proposal 3); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **FOR** approval of the Amended and Restated NovoCure 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (Proposal 4).

**How many votes are needed to approve each proposal?**

With respect to Proposal 1, the election of each of the director nominees, each nominee who receives the affirmative vote of the simple majority of votes cast at the Annual Meeting will be elected. Abstentions and votes by a broker that have not been directed by the beneficial owner to vote ("broker non-votes") will not be counted for the purposes of determining the number of votes cast and will accordingly have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

With respect to Proposal 2, the approval and ratification of the appointment of EY Global as our auditor and independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, the affirmative vote of the simple majority of votes cast is required for approval. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted for the purposes of determining the number of votes cast and will accordingly have no effect on the outcome of this proposals.

With respect to Proposal 3, the non-binding advisory vote on our executive compensation, the affirmative vote of the simple majority of votes cast is required for approval. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted for the purposes of determining the number of votes cast and will accordingly have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

With respect to Proposal 4, approval of the Amended and Restated NovoCure 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan, the affirmative vote of the simple majority of votes cast is required for approval. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted for the purposes of determining the number of votes cast and will accordingly have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

**Who counts the votes?**

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. has been engaged as our independent agent, or "Inspector of Election," to tabulate shareholder votes.

**Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy vote?**

Yes. You can revoke your proxy vote at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are the record holder of your shares, you may revoke your proxy vote in any one of three ways:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• You may submit a new vote on the Internet or by telephone or submit a properly completed proxy card with a later date.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_10)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• You may send written notice that you are revoking your proxy to our General Counsel, NovoCure Limited, 1550 Liberty Ridge Drive, Suite 115, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087, USA, Attention: General Counsel. Such notice must be received by May 31, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• You may attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. Simply attending the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

If your shares are held by your broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by such broker, bank or other nominee to revoke an earlier vote.

**What are "broker non-votes"?**

Broker non-votes occur when a beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" does not give instructions to the broker, bank or other nominee holding the shares as to how to vote on matters deemed "non-routine." If the beneficial owner does not provide voting instructions, the broker or nominee can still vote the shares with respect to matters that are considered to be "routine," but not with respect to "non-routine" matters.

Proposal 2, the approval and ratification of the appointment of EY Global as our auditor and independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, is considered "routine" under applicable rules. A broker or other nominee may generally vote on routine matters without voting instructions from beneficial owners, and therefore no broker non-votes are expected to exist in connection with Proposal 2.

The remaining proposals are considered "non-routine" under applicable rules. A broker or other nominee cannot vote without instructions on non-routine matters, and therefore there may be broker non-votes on those proposals. Accordingly, if you own shares in street name through a broker, bank or other nominee, please be sure to provide voting instructions to your nominee to ensure that your vote is counted on each of the proposals.

**What if I return a proxy card but do not make specific choices?**

If we receive your signed and dated proxy card and the proxy card does not specify how your shares are to be voted, your shares will be voted "FOR" the election of each of the director nominees, "FOR" the approval and ratification of the appointment of EY Global as our auditor and independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026, "FOR" the non-binding advisory resolution to approve our executive compensation, and "FOR" approval of the Amended and Restated NovoCure 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan. If any other matter is properly presented at the Annual Meeting, your proxy (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares using his or her best judgment.

**Who will solicit proxies on behalf of the Board?**

Proxies may be solicited on behalf of the Board by Novocure's directors, officers and regular employees. Additionally, the Board has retained Alliance Advisors, LLC ("Alliance"), a proxy solicitation firm, to solicit proxies on the Board's behalf. We will pay Alliance an estimated fee of $32,000 plus costs and expenses. In addition, Alliance and certain related persons will be indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of or in connection with the engagement.

The original solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, facsimile, Internet and personal solicitation by Alliance, our directors, officers or other regular employees. Proxies may also be solicited by advertisements in periodicals, press releases issued by us and postings on our corporate website. Unless expressly indicated otherwise, information contained on our corporate website is not part of this proxy statement.

**Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?**

Novocure will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies, including the fees due to Alliance, as discussed above. In addition to the mailed proxy materials, our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. Directors, officers and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. Brokers, custodians and fiduciaries will be requested to forward proxy soliciting material to the beneficial owners of shares held in their names, and we will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of proxy materials.

**What if I receive more than one Notice of Internet Availability or more than one set of printed proxy materials?**

If you receive more than one Notice of Internet Availability or more than one set of printed proxy materials, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. In order to vote all of the shares you own, you must follow the instructions for voting on each Notice of Internet Availability or proxy card you receive, as applicable.

**How will voting on any business not described in this Proxy Statement be conducted?**

We are not aware of any business to be considered at the Annual Meeting other than the items described in this Proxy Statement. If any other matter is properly presented at the Annual Meeting, your proxy will vote your shares using his or her best judgment.

**What is the quorum requirement?**

A quorum of shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if the holders of a majority of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on the business being transacted are present in person or represented by proxy at the time when the Annual Meeting proceeds to business.

If you are a shareholder of record, your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy or vote in person at the Annual Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in "street name," your shares will be counted towards the quorum if your broker or nominee submits a proxy for your shares at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. If within half an hour from the time appointed for the Annual Meeting there is no quorum or if during the Annual Meeting a quorum ceases to be present, the Annual Meeting shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place or to such other time and place as the directors shall determine.

**How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?**

Voting results will be announced by the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting.

**PROPOSAL 1**

**ELECTION OF DIRECTORS**

Our Articles of Association ("Articles") provide that our Board may consist of between two (2) and thirteen (13) directors, as determined by our Board from time to time. As of the date of the meeting, our Board will have eleven (11) members.

Effective from their appointment at the Annual Meeting, directors serve one year terms expiring at the next annual general meeting of shareholders. Each director will hold office until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, or until such director's earlier death, resignation or removal as provided for in our Articles. If a vacancy arises on our Board during the term of a director's appointment as a result of death, resignation or removal, then a majority of our directors then in office (acting upon the recommendation of our independent directors or a committee thereof) shall have the power at any time and from time to time to appoint any person to be a director as a replacement to fill the vacancy and such person will serve for the remainder of the term of the director he or she has replaced.

Each person nominated for election at the Annual Meeting has agreed to serve if elected, and we have no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve. In the event that any nominee should be unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, such shares will be voted for the election of such substitute nominee as our Board may propose.

The following table sets forth, for our director nominees, information with respect to their ages, independence, and length of service on our Board:

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_10)</u>

**PROPOSAL 2**

**APPROVAL AND RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

The Audit Committee of our Board has engaged EY Global as our auditor and independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026, and is seeking ratification of such appointment by our shareholders at the Annual Meeting. EY Global has audited our financial statements since 2003. Representatives of EY Global are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Jersey company law requires us to appoint an auditor at each annual general meeting to hold office from the conclusion of that meeting to the conclusion of the next annual general meeting. It is therefore proposed that the shareholders approve and thereby ratify the reappointment of EY Global as our auditor and independent registered public accounting firm. If our shareholders fail to approve and ratify the selection, our Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain EY Global. Our Audit Committee will determine the fees to be paid to the auditors for the year ending December 31, 2026.

**Principal Accountant Fees and Services**

The following table provides information regarding the fees incurred to EY Global during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. All fees described below were pre-approved by our Audit Committee.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Audit Fees (1) | $962000 | $948000 |
| Tax Fees (2) | 175000 |  |
| Other | 58000 | 57551 |
| Total Fees | $1195000 | $1005551 |

---

(1)Audit Fees consist of fees billed for professional services performed by EY Global for the audit of our annual financial statements, the review of interim financial statements, and related services that are normally provided in connection with registration statements.

(2)Tax Fees consist of fees for professional services, including tax consulting and compliance services and transfer pricing services performed by EY Global.

**Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures**

Before an independent registered public accounting firm is engaged by the Company to render audit or non-audit services, our Audit Committee must review the terms of the proposed engagement and pre-approve the engagement.

**OUR BOARD AND OUR AUDIT COMMITTEE RECOMMEND A VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL AND RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF EY GLOBAL AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_10)</u>

**PROPOSAL 3**

**NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE ON THE APPROVAL OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION**

Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") enables our shareholders to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in "Compensation Discussion and Analysis," the 2025 Summary Compensation Table and the related compensation tables, notes, and narratives in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, known as a "Say-on-Pay" proposal, gives our shareholders the opportunity to express their views on our named executive officers' compensation as a whole. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation or any specific named executive officer, but rather the overall compensation of all of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement.

The Say-on-Pay vote is advisory and, therefore, it is not binding on us, our Board or our Compensation Committee. The Say-on-Pay vote will, however, provide information to us regarding investor sentiment about our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices, which our Compensation Committee and our Board will consider when determining executive compensation following the Annual Meeting. Consistent with the preference of our shareholders as determined by the last vote to approve the frequency of our Say-on-Pay vote, we intend to conduct a Say-on-Pay vote annually.

Our compensation programs are designed to support our business goals and promote our long-term profitable growth. Our equity programs are intended to align compensation with the long-term interests of our shareholders. We urge shareholders to read the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section of this Proxy Statement, which describes in more detail how our executive compensation policies and procedures operate and are designed to achieve our compensation objectives. We also encourage you to review the 2025 Summary Compensation Table and other related compensation tables and narratives, which provide detailed information on the compensation of our named executive officers. Our Board and our Compensation Committee believe that the policies and procedures described and explained in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" are effective in achieving our goals, and that the compensation of our named executive officers reported in this Proxy Statement has supported and contributed to the Company's recent and long-term success. Accordingly, we ask our shareholders to vote "FOR" the approval of our executive compensation on a non-binding advisory basis.

**OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE** "**FOR**" **THE FOLLOWING NON-BINDING RESOLUTION**

**RESOLVED, that the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in "Compensation**

**Discussion and Analysis," the 2025 Summary Compensation Table and the related compensation tables, notes, and narratives in this Proxy Statement is hereby APPROVED.**

**PROPOSAL 4**<br>

 **APPROVAL OF AMENDED AND RESTATED NOVOCURE LIMITED 2024 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN**

We are asking shareholders to approve the Amended and Restated NovoCure Limited 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Amended Plan") to increase the number of shares of Ordinary Shares of the Company (the "Shares") reserved for issuance under the current plan by an additional 9,000,000 Shares. If the Amended Plan is not approved by our shareholders, we will continue to operate the current plan under its existing terms until we deplete the available shares.

When we sought shareholder approval of the NovoCure Limited 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan") in 2024, we forecasted that the shares included in the Plan would be sufficient to cover our equity compensation program needs for two years, until 2026. We also noted that we anticipated seeking stockholder approval for an additional share increase in 2026. Shareholder approval of the Amended Plan will also extend the term of the Plan by an additional two (2) years, expiring in 2036 unless extended again.

The Amended Plan will also include two new features that we believe are in the best interests of shareholders. The first change removes liberal recycling of shares on both full-value and appreciation awards, by removing the ability of the Plan to reissue Shares that have been tendered or withheld for the purpose of exercising an award or for the payment of tax liabilities. The second change adds a new requirement that all share-based awards have a minimum one-year vesting period from the date of grant, except for awards to Non-Employee Directors that vest on the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of grant, subject to limited exceptions.

Our continuing ability to offer equity incentive awards under the Plan is critical to our ability to execute on our long-term strategy, as it enables us to attract, motivate and retain qualified personnel in the highly competitive market for employee talent in which we operate. Since our last share request, we have been executing on our business strategy, as discussed above under "Proxy Statement Summary — 2025 Corporate Achievements."

In determining the size of the requested share increase under the Amended Plan, our Board and Compensation Committee worked with management and our independent compensation consultant to evaluate a number of factors, including our corporate and talent strategies, compensation benchmarking, our recent and projected share usage, share usage at companies in our compensation peer group, total potential dilution level and criteria expected to be utilized by institutional investors and proxy advisory firms in evaluating this Proposal.

Our Board and Compensation Committee believe that approving an additional 9,000,000 million Shares for issuance under the Amended Plan is appropriate and in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders given our current expectations on hiring, the highly competitive environment in which we recruit and retain employees and our projected share usage.

Based on current forecasts, we anticipate that the additional shares we are seeking will cover our equity compensation program needs for approximately the next two years, until 2028, at which time we anticipate seeking shareholder approval for an additional share increase.

The Board has approved the Amended Plan, subject to shareholder approval, and the Board recommends that shareholders vote in favor of this Proposal at the Annual Meeting.

**<u>Why We are Asking our Shareholders to Approve the Amended Plan</u>**

Currently, we maintain the NovoCure Limited 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Current Plan") to grant share options, restricted share units, performance-based share units and other equity-based and cash-based awards in order to provide long-term incentives to our employees, executives and directors.

Approval of the Amended Plan by our shareholders will allow us to continue to grant share options, restricted share unit awards, performance-based share awards and other equity-based and cash-based awards in order to secure and retain the services of our employees, executive officers and directors, and to provide long-term incentives that are designed to align the interests of our employees and directors with the interests of our shareholders.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_10)</u>

**<u>Requested Shares</u>**

We are seeking shareholder approval of an additional 9,000,000 shares for issuance under the Amended Plan. If shareholders approve the Amended Plan, it will become effective on the date of the annual meeting (the "Effective Date"). If shareholders do not approve the Amended Plan, we will continue to have the authority to grant awards under the Current Plan under its existing terms until we deplete the available shares. As of the Record Date, 2,879,680 shares remained available for issuance under the Current Plan and 21,234,241 shares were subject to outstanding awards under the Current Plan.

Based on historic grant practices and our current share price, our Board has estimated that the aggregate number of shares requested to be approved should be sufficient to cover awards for the next one to two year(s).

**<u>Why You Should Vote to Approve the Amended Plan</u>**

**Equity awards are an important part of our compensation philosophy.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• All full-time employees and Non-Employee Directors are eligible to receive awards: approximately 56.3% of our outstanding equity awards are held by our broad employee population and approximately 43.7% of our outstanding equity awards are held by our executive officers and Non-Employee Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Amended Plan incentivizes long-term thinking to align with the interests of our shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Amended Plan underlies our ability to reward, retain and motivate key talent which we believe will result in building long-term shareholder value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We face strong competition for talent from our peers and equity awards allow us to effectively compete for talent.

**We believe we manage our equity award use carefully and dilution is reasonable.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We monitor our annual burn rate, dilution and equity expense to ensure we maximize shareholder value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We use industry benchmarks to competitively grant the appropriate number of equity awards necessary to attract, reward, and retain employees and Non-Employee Directors.

**We believe the size of our share reserve request is reasonable.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We have adapted our grant practices and guidelines to align with the requested share pool reserve and remain competitive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We anticipate the requested share pool is adequate to cover equity awards for the next one to two years.

**The consequences of the Amended Plan not being approved are significant.**

We compete for talent with many companies that offer equity incentives as a key element of their compensation programs. Without shareholder approval of the Amended Plan:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we will lose access to an important compensation tool that is key to our ability to attract, motivate, reward, and retain our key employees and Non-Employee Directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we may need to significantly increase the cash component of employee compensation to continue to attract and retain key talent; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the requested additional shares will not become available for issuance, and the Current Plan will continue as in effect subject to authorized share limits.

**<u>The Company believes that the following additional details are important for shareholders to consider.</u>**

*Equity Awards Are an Important Part of Our Compensation Philosophy*

We are a global oncology company with a proprietary platform technology called Tumor Treating Fields ("TTFields"), which are electric fields that exert physical forces to kill cancer cells via a variety of mechanisms. Our key priorities are to drive commercial adoption of Optune Gio<sup>®</sup> Optune Pax<sup>®</sup> and Optune Lua<sup>®</sup>, our commercial TTFields devices, and to advance clinical and product development programs intended to extend overall survival in some of the most aggressive forms of cancer.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_10)</u>

Our Board believes that the Amended Plan is necessary to ensure that the number of shares available for issuance is sufficient to allow us to continue to attract and retain the services of talented individuals essential to our long-term growth and financial success. Our Board strongly believes that the issuance of equity awards is a key element underlying our ability to attract, retain and motivate our employees, including our executive officers, and is a substantial contributing factor to our success and the growth of our business. To date, we have relied significantly on equity incentives in the form of share option and restricted share unit awards to attract and retain employees, plus performance-based share awards to attract, incentivize and retain senior officers. We believe that equity incentives are necessary for us to remain competitive in the marketplace for executive and other talent, as the offering of shares to all employees is a common practice in our industry. Because of the long-term nature of bringing clinical therapies to market, our Board believes that long-term incentive programs are vital to aligning our employees with our strategy. Therefore, our Board believes that the Amended Plan is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and recommends a vote in favor of this Proposal No. 4.

Our equity granting practices are broad-based and play an important role throughout the Company. We are especially proud that we grant all new employees an equity award when they join us, creating alignment with our shareholders from the very beginning. During the past three fiscal years (2023-2025), the number of awards we granted to non-Named Executive Officers was over 79% of the total grants made during the period.

Assuming approval of the Amended Plan, our fully-diluted overhang, including all awards outstanding and available for grant, will be equal to 22.2% of our total shares outstanding as of the Record Date. Based on our expected grant practices and our current share price, we believe that the adoption of the Amended Plan and the additional share reserve of 9,000,000 shares will provide the Board with flexibility to continue to make annual equity awards to employees and new hires through the next one to two years and will allow us to remain competitive in the marketplace with respect to attracting, retaining and motivating key personnel and Non-Employee Directors.

*We Believe We Manage Our Equity Incentive Award Use Carefully, and Dilution Is Reasonable*

Equity awards are a vital part of our overall compensation program. Our compensation philosophy reflects broad-based eligibility for equity incentive awards, and we grant awards to all of our full-time employees. However, we recognize that equity awards dilute existing shareholders, and, therefore, we must responsibly manage the growth of our equity compensation program. We are committed to effectively monitoring our equity compensation share reserve, including our "burn rate," to maximize shareholders' value by granting the appropriate number of equity incentive awards necessary to attract, reward, and retain employees and Non-Employee Directors. The tables below show our 2025 overhang and burn rate percentages.

*We Believe the Size of Our Share Reserve Request Is Reasonable*

If the Amended Plan is approved by our shareholders, we expect to have approximately 11,879,680 shares available for grant after our annual meeting (less any shares subject to awards made under the Current Plan after April 6, 2026 and prior to the Effective Date and subject to adjustment in the event of certain capitalization events and the share recycling provisions, each as described in the Amended Plan), which we anticipate (based on our expected grant practices and our current share price) being a pool of shares sufficient for grants through one to two years, and necessary to provide a predictable amount of equity for attracting, retaining, and motivating employees.

**<u>Outstanding Grants and Usage under the 2024 Plan</u>**

*Overhang*

The following table provides certain additional information regarding our use of equity awards:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| As of April 6, 2026 (except where noted) |  |
| Total number of common shares subject to outstanding options | 10976357 |
| Weighted-average exercise price of outstanding options | $28.93 |
| Weighted-average remaining term of outstanding stock options at March 31, 2026 | 5.5 years |
| Total number of shares of common stock subject to outstanding full value awards (RSUs and PSUs (at target)) | 10257884 |
| Total number of shares of common stock available for grant (1) | 2879680 |

---

(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Includes PSUs granted at maximum payout that are not included in shares subject to outstanding grants.

We have a broad-based equity award practice: approximately 53.2% of our outstanding equity awards are held by our broad employee population and approximately 46.8% of our outstanding equity awards are held by our executive officers and Non-Employee Directors.

Assuming approval of the Amended Plan, our total overhang, including all awards outstanding and available for grant, will be equal to 22.2% of our total shares outstanding as of the Record Date. The adoption of the Amended Plan will provide an additional 9,000,000 shares, which together with our existing reserve of 2,879,680 shares (for a total of 11,879,680 shares), will provide the Board with flexibility to continue to make annual equity awards to eligible employees and new hires through the next one to two years and allows us to remain competitive in the marketplace with respect to attracting, retaining and motivating key personnel and Non-Employee Directors.

*Burn Rate*

The Company monitors shareholder dilution by tracking the number of shares subject to equity awards that it grants annually, commonly referred to as the burn rate. Burn rate shows how rapidly a company is depleting its shares reserved for equity compensation awards and is defined for this purpose as the number of equity awards granted as incentives during the year divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. The Company has calculated the burn rate for the past three years, as set forth in the following table:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Total Number of Common Shares Subject to Options Granted** | **Total Number of Common Shares Subject to Full Value Awards Granted** | **Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding** | **Burn Rate** |
| Fiscal Year 2025 | 944888 | 3953161 | 111471991 | 4.39% |
| Fiscal Year 2024 | 3934564 | 8478083 | 107834368 | 11.51% |
| Fiscal Year 2023 | 1192916 | 1626223 | 106391178 | 2.65% |

---

The above burn rates cover fiscal years 2023-2025. In January 2024 (fiscal year 2024), following a reduction in workforce in November 2023, one-time retention awards were granted to our non-executive officer employees. These retention awards were granted to motivate and retain key talent and impacted the full fiscal year 2024 burn rate.

**<u>Amended Plan Highlights</u>**

The Amended Plan includes provisions that are designed to protect our shareholders' interests and to reflect corporate governance best practices. Except as noted, these provisions are not changed from the Current Plan. Highlights of the Amended Plan are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Governance*. The Compensation Committee, which is comprised solely of independent directors, will administer the Amended Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Fixed pool; No evergreen*. The total number of ordinary shares authorized for issuance under the Amended Plan is fixed (subject to adjustment in the event of certain capitalization events and the share recycling provisions, each as described in the Amended Plan).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Minimum Vesting Provisions* (**new to the Amended Plan**). All share-based awards have a minimum one-year vesting period from the date of grant, except for awards to Non-Employee Directors that vest on the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of grant or the next annual general meeting of shareholders (not

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_10)</u>

less than 50 weeks after grant), and other exceptions granted by the Compensation Committee up to a maximum of five percent (5%) of the available share pool.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Limits on Share Recycling* (**new to the Amended Plan**). The Amended Plan does not allow for the re-issuance of Shares that have been tendered or withheld for the purpose of exercising an award or for the payment of tax liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *No single trigger accelerated vesting upon change in control*. The Amended Plan does not provide for any automatic mandatory vesting of awards upon a change in control. The Compensation Committee has discretion to provide whether and how a change in control affects outstanding awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Prohibition on repricing.* Except as permitted in the event of certain equitable adjustments as set forth in the Amended Plan, or in connection with a change in control, the Amended Plan specifically prohibits us from repricing any outstanding share option or share appreciation right by reducing the exercise price or strike price of the share option or share appreciation right or canceling any outstanding share option or share appreciation right that has an exercise price or strike price in excess of the current fair market value in exchange for cash or other share awards without obtaining the approval of our shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Prohibition on the payment of dividends and dividend equivalents on unvested share options and share appreciation rights.* The Amended Plan prohibits the payment or crediting of dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to share options or share appreciation rights awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Prohibition on the payment of dividends and dividend equivalents prior to the vesting of awards*. The Amended Plan prohibits the payment or crediting of dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to awards (other than share options and share appreciation rights) prior to the vesting of the awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Awards subject to forfeiture/clawback*. In addition to the recoupment provisions set forth in the Amended Plan relating to recoupment/forfeiture upon defined detrimental activity, all awards are subject to our current clawback policy. (See "Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Compensation Policies and Practices" on page [58](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_148) below.)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Limits on awards to Non-Employee Directors*. The aggregate grant date fair value (computed as of the date of grant in accordance with applicable financial accounting rules) of all awards granted to any Non-Employee Director during any single calendar year, plus the total cash compensation paid to such director for services rendered for such calendar year, shall not exceed $750,000, or $1,500,000 for the first year providing such services (subject to certain exceptions).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *No discounted share options or share appreciation rights.* All share options and share appreciation rights granted under the Amended Plan must have an exercise price or strike price equal to or greater than the fair market value of our ordinary shares on the date the share option or share appreciation right is granted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Flexibility in designing equity compensation structure.* The Amended Plan allows us to provide a broad array of equity incentives, including traditional option grants, share appreciation rights, restricted share awards, restricted share unit awards, performance-based share awards and other equity-based and cash-based awards. By providing this flexibility, we can quickly and effectively react to trends in compensation practices and continue to offer competitive compensation arrangements to attract and retain the talent necessary for the success of our business.

**<u>Material Features of the Amended Plan</u>**

Below is a summary of the Amended Plan, which is qualified entirely by reference to the complete text of the Amended Plan, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement.

*Purpose of the Amended Plan*. The purpose of the Amended Plan is to enhance our profitability and value for the benefit of our shareholders by enabling us to offer eligible employees, consultants and Non-Employee Directors incentive awards in order to attract, retain and reward such individuals and strengthen the mutuality of interests between such individuals and our shareholders.

*Administration.* As noted above, the Amended Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee. In particular, the Compensation Committee will have the authority, among other items, to: (i) select participants to whom awards may from time to time be granted; (ii) determine, in its sole discretion, the number of ordinary shares to be covered by each award granted under the Amended Plan; (iii) determine, in its sole discretion, the terms and

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_10)</u>

conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Amended Plan, of any award granted under the Amended Plan (including, but not limited to, the exercise or purchase price (if any), any restriction, forfeiture or limitation, any vesting schedule or acceleration or waiver thereof); (iv) set the performance criteria and the performance period with respect to any award for which the grant, vesting or payment of such award is conditioned upon the attainment of specified performance criteria and to certify the attainment of any such performance criteria; (v) adopt, alter and repeal sub-plans or programs under the Amended Plan as it deems necessary or advisable; and (vi) construe and interpret the terms and provisions of the Amended Plan and any award (and any agreements relating thereto).

To the extent permitted by applicable law and applicable exchange rules, the Compensation Committee may (i) delegate to a committee of one or more directors any of the authority of the Compensation Committee under the Amended Plan, including the right to grant, cancel or suspend awards, and (ii) authorize one or more executive officers to do one or more of the following with respect to individuals who are not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act: (A) designate eligible employees and consultants to be recipients of awards and (B) determine the number of shares subject to such awards to be received by such eligible employees and consultants.

*Available Shares.* Subject to the capitalization adjustment provisions and the share recycling provisions, each as contained in the Amended Plan, as of the Effective Date, the maximum aggregate number of Ordinary Shares that may be issued or used for reference purposes or with respect to which awards may be granted under the Amended Plan, other than awards issued as substitute awards in connection with a corporate transaction, will be equal to 11,879,680 shares, less one share for every one share granted under the Amended Plan after April 6, 2026 and prior to the Effective Date, all of which may be granted as "incentive share options" under the Internal Revenue Code. The number of ordinary shares that remain available for future grants under the Amended Plan will be reduced by the sum of the aggregate number of ordinary shares which become subject to outstanding awards, other than substitute awards granted in connection with a corporate transaction. Shares issued under the Amended Plan may be either authorized and unissued ordinary shares or ordinary shares held in or acquired for the treasury of the Company, or both.

If, other than with respect to substitute awards granted in connection with a corporate transaction, (i) any ordinary shares subject to an award granted under the Amended Plan or any predecessor plan are forfeited, an award granted under the Amended Plan or any predecessor plan expires or otherwise terminates without issuance of ordinary shares, or an award granted under the Amended Plan or any predecessor plan is settled for cash (in whole or in part) or otherwise does not result in the issuance of all or a portion of the ordinary shares subject to such award, such ordinary shares will, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration, termination, cash settlement or non-issuance, be added to the ordinary shares available for grant under the Amended Plan.

All share-based awards must have a minimum one-year vesting period from the date of grant, except for awards to Non-Employee Directors that vest on the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of grant or the next annual general meeting of shareholders (not less than 50 weeks after grant), and other exceptions granted by the Committee up to a maximum of five percent (5%) of the available share pool.

On the Record Date, the closing sales price per share of our ordinary shares as reported on the NASDAQ Global Market was $10.55.

*Change in Control.* In the event of our "change in control", and except as otherwise provided in an award agreement or employment agreement, a participant's unvested award will not vest and a participant's award (or any part thereof) will be treated in accordance with one or more of the following methods as determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion: (i) awards may be continued, assumed, have new rights substituted therefor or terminated, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, and restrictions to which any restricted shares or any other award granted prior to the change in control are subject will not lapse upon a change in control and the restricted shares or other award will, where appropriate, receive the same distribution as other ordinary shares on such terms as determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion; (ii) the purchase of any awards for an amount of cash or other property equal to the price per share paid in connection with the change in control of ordinary shares covered by such awards, less, in the case of a share option or share appreciation right, the exercise price per ordinary share covered by such award; (iii) the cancellation of any share option or share appreciation award without payment, if the change in control price per ordinary share covered by such award is less than the exercise price per share of such award; or (iv) the acceleration of vesting or lapse of restrictions of an award at any time.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_10)</u>

Under the Amended Plan, a "change in control" is generally defined as (i) a change in beneficial ownership of 50% or more of the combined voting power of our then outstanding securities; (ii) a change in the majority composition of the Board; (iii) certain mergers or consolidations involving us; or (iv) our shareholders approve a plan of complete liquidation or the consummation of the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of our assets.

*No Repricing.* Except as permitted pursuant to the capitalization adjustment provisions set forth in the Amended Plan or in connection with a change in control, an outstanding share option or share appreciation right may not be modified to reduce the exercise or base price thereof nor may a share option or share appreciation award be surrendered (when the option or exercise price per share exceeds the fair market value of a share) in exchange for cash or another award, unless such action is approved by our shareholders.

*Detrimental Activity.* Awards granted under the Amended Plan are subject to recovery in the event the participant engages in "Detrimental Activity" within one year of the vesting or exercise of the award. Detrimental activity includes (i) the disclosure of confidential information, (ii) activity by the participant that would allow us to terminate the participant for cause or (iii) breach of any agreement between the participant and us or an Affiliate (including, without limitation, any written employment agreement or noncompetition or non-solicitation agreement).

*Effective Date, Termination and Amendment.* The Amended Plan will become effective on the date it is approved by our shareholders at the annual meeting. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Amended Plan, the Board or the Compensation Committee, to the extent permitted by law, may at any time, and from time to time, amend, in whole or in part, any or all of the provisions of the Amended Plan or suspend or terminate the Amended Plan entirely, retroactively or otherwise; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law or specifically provided in the Amended Plan, the rights of a participant with respect to awards granted prior to such amendment, suspension or termination, may not be substantially impaired without the consent of such participant. Without the approval of the holders of the ordinary shares entitled to vote in accordance with applicable law, no amendment may be made which would (i) increase the aggregate number of ordinary shares that may be issued under the Amended Plan (except in connection with the capitalization adjustment provisions of the Amended Plan); (ii) change the classification of individuals eligible to receive awards under the Amended Plan; (iii) modify the prohibition on repricing set forth in the Amended Plan; or (iv) require shareholder approval under the rules of any exchange or system on which the our securities are listed or traded at our the request.

*Eligibility.* Participants in the Amended Plan will consist of members of the Board as well as our employees and consultants if selected by the Compensation Committee for participation in the Amended Plan. As of the Record Date, approximately 1,695 employees and 8 non-employee directors would be eligible to participate in the Amended Plan if selected by the Compensation Committee. Consultants have received awards on occasion, with three consultants having received awards in the past year.

*Share Options and Share Appreciation Rights* The Amended Plan provides for the grant of share options and share appreciation rights. The Compensation Committee will determine the conditions to the exercisability of each share option and share appreciation right.

Each share option will be exercisable for no more than ten (10) years after its date of grant. If the share option is an incentive share option and the optionee owns greater than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all of our shares of capital stock (a "ten percent holder"), then the share option will be exercisable for no more than five years after its date of grant. Except in the case of substitute awards granted in connection with a corporate transaction, the exercise price of a share option will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of an ordinary share on the date of grant, unless the share option is an incentive share option and the optionee is a ten percent holder, in which case the exercise price will be the price required by the Internal Revenue Code.

Each share appreciation right will be exercisable for no more than ten (10) years after its date of grant. Other than in the case of substitute awards granted in connection with a corporate transaction, the base price of a share appreciation right will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of an ordinary share on the date of grant. A share appreciation right entitles the holder to receive upon exercise (subject to withholding taxes) ordinary shares or, to the extent provided in the award agreement, cash or a combination thereof, with an aggregate value equal to the difference between the fair market value of the ordinary shares on the exercise date and the base price of the share appreciation right.

All of the terms relating to the exercise, cancellation or other disposition of share options and share appreciation rights upon a termination of employment of a participant will be set forth in the award agreement.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_10)</u>

Notwithstanding anything in the award agreement to the contrary, the holder of a share option or share appreciation will not be entitled to receive dividend equivalents with respect to the ordinary shares subject to such share option or share appreciation right.

*Restricted Share Awards.* The Amended Plan provides for the grant of restricted share awards. Restricted share awards are subject to forfeiture if the holder does not remain continuously in our employment during the restriction period or if specified performance measures (if any) are not attained during the performance period. Unless otherwise set forth in a restricted share award agreement, the holder of restricted shares has rights as a shareholder, including the right to vote and receive dividends with respect to the restricted shares and to participate in any capital adjustments applicable to all holders of our ordinary shares; provided, however, that any divided or other distribution paid with respect to restricted shares will be deposited by us and will be subject to the same restrictions as the ordinary shares with respect to which such dividend or distribution was made.

All of the terms relating to the satisfaction of performance measures and the termination of a restriction period or performance period relating to a restricted share award, or the forfeiture and cancellation of a restricted share award upon a termination of employment will be set forth in the award agreement.

*Other Share-Based Awards.* The Amended Plan provides for the grant of other-share based awards, which are awards that are payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to ordinary shares, including but not limited to, ordinary shares awarded purely as a bonus and not subject to any restrictions or conditions, ordinary shares in payment of the amounts due under an incentive or performance plan sponsored or maintained by the us, share equivalent units, restricted share units, and awards valued by reference to book value of ordinary shares. The participant shall have the right to receive any dividends with respect any ordinary shares covered by other share-based awards, subject to and conditioned upon the full vesting of the awards, provided that the payment of dividends with respect to the number of ordinary shares covered by other share-based awards shall be deferred until, and conditioned upon, the expiration of the applicable vesting period with respect to the awards.

All of the terms relating to the satisfaction of performance measures and the termination of a restriction period or performance period relating to an other share-based award, or the forfeiture and cancellation of an other share-based award upon a termination of employment will be set forth in the award agreement.

*Performance-Based Cash Awards.* Under the terms of the Amended Plan, the Committee may grant performance-based cash awards. In granting a performance-based cash award, the Committee may specify a targeted award, which may be expressed as a fixed dollar amount, a percentage of the participant's base pay, as a percentage of a bonus pool funded by a formula as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion based on achievement of performance criteria, or an amount determined pursuant to an objective formula or standard. All of the terms relating to the satisfaction of performance measures and the termination of a restriction period or performance period relating to a performance cash award, or the forfeiture and cancellation of a performance cash award upon a termination of employment will be determined by the Committee.

**<u>New Plan Benefits</u>**

Grants of equity awards under the Amended Plan to our named executive officers, executive officers, Non-Employee Directors and other eligible participants have not yet been determined, and will be made at the discretion of our independent Compensation Committee. Accordingly, the future benefits that will be awarded or paid to these participants under the Amended Plan are not currently determinable, although we note that our Non-Employee Directors will be entitled to awards specified in our Directors' Compensation Policy. The annual equity award value for Non-Employee Director awards is $375,000 and they have the option to receive the awards equally in restricted share units and share options or 100% in share options, as described under "2025 Director Compensation - Director Compensation Program" beginning on page [42](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_103) of this proxy statement. Equity grants made to our named executive officers in 2025 under the Plan are set forth in the 2025 Grants of Plan-Based Awards table on page [62](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_166) of this proxy statement, and equity grants made to our non-executive directors in 2025 under the Plan are set forth in the 2025 Director Compensation Table on page [42](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_103) of this proxy statement. The approval of the Plan by our shareholders will have no effect on the terms and conditions of the outstanding awards previously granted under the Plan.

(1) Assumes PSU awards are issued at target

No awards have been granted under the Plan over its lifetime to the following categories of persons: (i) any associates of our non-employee directors, executive officers or nominees; or (ii) any other person who received or who is to receive 5% of such options, warrants or rights.

**<u>Federal Income Tax Consequences</u>**

The following is a brief summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences generally arising with respect to awards under the Amended Plan. This discussion does not address all aspects of the United States federal income tax consequences of participating in the Amended Plan that may be relevant to participants in light of their personal investment or tax circumstances and does not discuss any state, local or non-United States tax consequences of participating in the Amended Plan. Each participant is advised to consult his or her particular tax advisor concerning the application of the United States federal income tax laws to such participant's particular situation, as well as the applicability and effect of any state, local or non-United States tax laws before taking any actions with respect to any awards.

*Share Options*

A participant will not recognize taxable income at the time a share option is granted and we will not be entitled to a tax deduction at that time. A participant will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income (and subject to income tax withholding in respect of an employee) upon exercise of a non-qualified share option equal to the excess of the fair market value of the ordinary shares purchased over their exercise price, and we or the affiliate employer will be entitled to a corresponding deduction, subject to any deduction limits applicable to us or the affiliate employer. A participant will not recognize income (except for purposes of the alternative minimum tax) upon exercise of an incentive share option. If the ordinary shares acquired by exercise of an incentive share option are held for the longer of two years from the date the share option was granted and one year from the date it was exercised, any gain or loss arising from a subsequent disposition of those shares will be taxed as long-term capital

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_10)</u>

gain or loss, and we will not be entitled to any deduction. If, however, those shares are disposed of within the above-described period, then in the year of that disposition the participant will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income equal to the excess of (1) the lesser of the amount realized upon that disposition and the fair market value of those shares on the date of exercise over (2) the exercise price, and we or the affiliate employer will be entitled to a corresponding deduction, subject to any deduction limits applicable to us or the affiliate employer.

*Share Appreciation Rights* 

A participant will not recognize taxable income at the time share appreciation rights are granted and we will not be entitled to a tax deduction at that time. Upon exercise, the participant will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income (and subject to income tax withholding in respect of an employee) in an amount equal to the fair market value of any ordinary shares delivered and the amount of cash paid by us, and we or the affiliate employer will be entitled to a corresponding deduction, subject to any deduction limits applicable to the Company or the affiliate employer.

*Other Awards*

A participant will not recognize taxable income at the time restricted shares (i.e. shares subject to restrictions constituting a substantial risk of forfeiture) are granted and we will not be entitled to a tax deduction at that time, unless the participant makes an election to be taxed at that time. If such election is made, the participant will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income (and subject to income tax withholding in respect of an employee) at the time of the grant in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value for the shares at such time over the amount, if any, paid for those shares. If such election is not made, the participant will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income (and subject to income tax withholding in respect of an employee) at the time the restrictions constituting a substantial risk of forfeiture lapse in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the ordinary shares at such time over the amount, if any, paid for those shares. The amount of ordinary income recognized by making the above-described election or upon the lapse of restrictions constituting a substantial risk of forfeiture is deductible by us or the affiliate employer, subject to any applicable deduction limits. In addition, a participant receiving dividends with respect to restricted shares for which the above-described election has not been made and prior to the time the restrictions constituting a substantial risk of forfeiture lapse will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income (and subject to income tax withholding in respect of an employee), rather than dividend income, in an amount equal to the dividends paid and we or the affiliate employer will be entitled to a corresponding deduction, subject to any applicable deduction limits.

The tax consequences associated with other types of awards will depend on the particular structure of the award.

**<u>Board Recommendation</u>**

Our Board believes that approval of Proposal No. 4 is in our and our shareholders' best interests because approval of the Amended Plan will be an important factor in attracting, retaining, and motivating employees, consultants and directors in order to achieve our long-term growth and profitability objectives. Shareholder approval of the Amended Plan will enable us to continue to grant equity awards to key individuals and remain competitive with our industry peers. If this proposal is not approved, we believe we would be at a significant disadvantage relative to our competitors for recruiting, retaining and motivating those individuals who are critical to our success, and we could be forced to increase cash compensation, reducing resources available to meet our other business needs.

To be approved, Proposal 4 must receive a "For" vote from the majority of all shares present and entitled to vote on the matter, either in person or by proxy. An abstention will have the same effect as an "Against" vote. Broker non-votes will have no effect.

**OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE** "**FOR**" **THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION**

**RESOLVED, that the Amended and Restated NovoCure Limited 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan is hereby APPROVED.**

**REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS**

*The following Audit Committee Report does not constitute soliciting material and shall not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other filings by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or under the Exchange Act (the "Securities Act"), except to the extent we specifically incorporate this Report by reference.*

Our Audit Committee oversees the Company's corporate accounting and financial reporting process on behalf of our Board. Management has the primary responsibility for the consolidated financial statements and the reporting process, including the Company's systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, our Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management the audited consolidated financial statements filed in the Company's Annual Report, including a discussion of the quality, not just acceptability, of the accounting principles applied, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our Audit Committee is comprised entirely of independent directors as defined by applicable NASDAQ listing standards.

Our Audit Committee has discussed with EY Global, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC. Our Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from EY Global required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding EY Global's communications with our Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with EY Global its independence. Our Audit Committee also considered whether EY Global's provision of any non-audit services to the Company is compatible with maintaining EY Global's independence.

Based on the review and discussions described above, among other things, our Audit Committee recommended to our Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report for filing with the SEC. Our Audit Committee also approved the selection of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

**CORPORATE GOVERNANCE**

**Independence of the Board of Directors**

Our Board undertook a review of the independence of our directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships and all other facts and circumstances our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including beneficial ownership of our Ordinary Shares, our Board has determined that none of our nominees and directors, other than Messrs. Danziger, Doyle and Leonard have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is "independent" as that term is defined under the rules of NASDAQ. Mr. Doyle and Mr. Leonard are not considered independent because they are each employees of the Company. Mr. Danziger is not considered independent because he is an employee of the Company as a Senior Advisor and is the former Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

**Board Leadership Structure**

Given the unique nature of our business as the first commercialized oncology medical device company, we believe that our leadership structure positions our Company for continued long-term growth. We have an Executive Chairman, a separate Chief Executive Officer, and a Lead Independent Director. Our Executive Chairman, Mr. Doyle, and our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Leonard, work closely together, in consultation with our Lead Independent Director, Mr. Madden, to set the strategic direction of the Company. Mr. Doyle, who has been involved with our Company as either an investor or an employee since 2004, focuses on Board leadership, strategic initiatives, investor relations, business development, advocacy and public policy matters. Mr. Leonard, an industry veteran who has been with our Company since 2010, primarily focuses on strategically managing our growing global business, driving operational performance, leadership development, investor relations and other key business matters. The Board believes this separation of responsibilities is optimal for us at this time, enhancing our Board's oversight by leveraging the clearly defined responsibilities of our Executive Chairman and our Chief Executive Officer and permitting Mr. Leonard to focus on the day-to-day operation and management of our Company. Our leadership structure ensures a seamless flow of communication between management and our Board, particularly with respect to our Board's oversight of the Company's strategic direction, as well as our Board's ability to ensure management's focused execution of that strategy. Our Lead Independent Director balances our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer roles, providing independent leadership of our Board and exercising critical duties in the boardroom to ensure effective and independent Board decision-making.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that if the Chairman of our Board is not an independent director (as determined by our Board or our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee), our independent directors have the discretion to annually elect an independent director to serve as Lead Independent Director. Although elected annually, our Lead Independent Director is generally expected to serve for more than one year. To facilitate this decision-making, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee annually discusses our Board leadership structure, providing its recommendation on the appropriate structure for the following year to our independent directors. Our independent directors do not view any particular Board leadership structure as generally preferred; they make an informed annual determination taking into account our financial and operational strategies and any feedback received from our shareholders.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines clearly delineate the duties of our Lead Independent Director, which are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Preside over all meetings of our Board at which the Executive Chairman is not present, including executive sessions of the independent directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Have the authority to call meetings of the independent directors when necessary or appropriate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Serve as liaison between the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and our independent directors;

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_10)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Review matters such as meeting agendas, meeting schedules and to assure sufficient time for discussion of agenda items and, where appropriate, information sent to our Board; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If requested by significant shareholders, ensure that he or she is available, when appropriate, for consultation and direct communication.

In addition to these responsibilities, our Lead Independent Director regularly consults with our Executive Chairman and our Chief Executive Officer to guide management's ongoing engagement with our Board on strategies and related risks.

Supplementing our Lead Independent Director in providing independent Board leadership are our committee chairs, all of whom are independent. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates the performance of our Board, including its interactions with our executive management team, annually, and discusses its evaluation in executive session with our independent directors. Based on these evaluations, we believe our current Board leadership structure provides effective independent oversight of our Company.

**Role of Board in Risk Oversight Process**

Risk assessment and oversight are an integral part of our governance and management processes. Our Board as a whole and through various committees administers the risk management function, monitoring exposure to and mitigation of a variety of risks, including operational, financial, legal and regulatory, strategic and reputational risks. Our Board's approach to risk oversight is designed to support the achievement of organizational objectives, improve long-term organizational performance and enhance shareholder value. A fundamental part of our risk oversight is not only understanding the risks we face and what steps management is taking to manage those risks, but also understanding what level of risk is appropriate for us. In setting our business strategy, our Board assesses the various risks being mitigated by management and determines what constitutes an appropriate level of risk for our Company.

Our Board committees consider risks within their respective areas of oversight responsibility and advise the Board of any significant risks and management's response to those risks via periodic committee reports to the full Board. Our Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing our integrated enterprise risk management function as a whole, as well as overseeing our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor, as well as overseeing the performance of our internal audit function and considering and approving or disapproving any related party transactions. The Audit Committee also reviews and assesses information regarding cybersecurity risks and mitigation strategies (such as insurance, employee training and penetration testing) with management on a quarterly basis. Our Compensation Committee assesses and monitors risks relating to our compensation programs and policies. The results of the compensation risk assessment are described below under "*Risk Considerations in Our Compensation Program.*" Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers risks relating to our corporate governance and the marketing, promotion, safety and sale of our products.

While the Board oversees risk management, our management team is responsible for managing risk on a day-to-day basis. Our Board encourages management to promote a culture that incorporates risk management into our corporate strategy and day-to-day business operations. Management discusses strategic and operational risks at regular management meetings, and conducts specific strategic planning and review sessions during the year that include a focused discussion and analysis of the risks facing us. Throughout the year, senior management reviews these risks with our Board at regular board meetings as part of management presentations that focus on particular business functions, operations or strategies, and presents the steps taken by management to mitigate or eliminate such risks.

**Board Committees**

Our Board has three standing committees: Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance. The charters of each committee are available to shareholders in the "Corporate Governance" section of our investor relations website at www.novocure.com.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_10)</u>

All of our directors are expected to attend our annual general meetings of shareholders. Nine of our eleven directors attended our annual general meeting of shareholders held in June 2025.

**Director Nomination Process**

Our Board seeks members from diverse professional backgrounds who combine a broad spectrum of experience and expertise with a reputation for integrity. Although we do not have a formal diversity policy, in considering diversity of our Board, and consistent with our Policy on Consideration of Director Candidates, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will take into account various factors and perspectives, including differences of viewpoint, professional experience, education, skill and other individual qualities and attributes that contribute to Board heterogeneity. Directors should have experience in positions with a high degree of responsibility, be leaders in the companies or institutions with which they are affiliated, and be selected based upon contributions they can make.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for determining the appropriate skills and characteristics required of Board members in the context of its current make-up. In its assessment of the needs of our Board and its evaluation of director nominees, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider factors such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ability of the candidate to represent the best interests of all of the shareholders of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the candidate's commitment to enhancing long-term shareholder value;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the candidate's standards of integrity, ethics, commitment and independence of thought and judgment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the candidate's record of professional accomplishment in his/her chosen field;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the candidate's independence from a material personal, financial or professional interest in any present or potential competitor of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the candidate's ability to dedicate sufficient time, energy and attention to the diligent performance of his or her duties on the Board and its Committees, including the candidate's service on other public company boards;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the extent to which the candidate contributes to the range of talent, skill and expertise on the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the extent to which the candidate contributes to the diversity of the Board, including differences of viewpoint, professional experience, education, and skill;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the balance of management and independent directors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the need for Audit Committee expertise.

Our Board evaluates each individual in the context of our Board as a whole, with the objective of assembling a group that can best maximize the success of the business and represent shareholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience. Our directors' performance and qualification criteria are reviewed annually by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

**Identification and Evaluation of Nominees for Directors**

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies nominees for director by first evaluating the current members of our Board willing to continue in service. Current members with qualifications and skills that are consistent with the Committee's criteria for Board service and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination, balancing the value of continuity of service by existing members of our Board with that of obtaining a new perspective or expertise.

If any member of our Board does not wish to continue in service or if our Board decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may identify the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria above, in which case, they would generally poll our Board and members of management for their recommendations. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_10)</u>

also review the composition and qualification of the boards of directors of our competitors, and may seek input from industry experts or analysts. The Committee reviews the qualifications, experience and background of the candidates. Final candidates are interviewed by the members of the Committee and by certain of our other independent directors and executive management as appropriate. In making its determinations, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates each individual in the context of our Board as a whole, with the objective of assembling a group that can best contribute to the success of our Company and represent shareholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment. After review and deliberation of all feedback and data, the Committee makes its recommendation to our Board. To date, the Committee has not utilized third-party search firms to identify director candidates but may choose to do so in those situations where particular qualifications are required or where existing contacts are not sufficient to identify an appropriate candidate.

**Shareholder Recommendations and Nominations**

A shareholder or shareholders holding at least one tenth (1/10th) of the total voting rights of the members who have the right to vote at a general meeting of the shareholders of the Company may propose a person for election to the office of director at an annual meeting. Shareholders may recommend director candidates by written submissions containing the information required by our Articles (and further detailed in the next paragraph) to Novocure's company secretary at NovoCure Limited, Second Floor, No. 4 The Forum, Grenville Street, St. Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands JE2 4UF. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates nominees recommended by shareholders in the same manner as it evaluates other nominees.

For a shareholder to make a formal nomination for election to our Board at an annual meeting, the shareholder must provide advance notice to the Company, which notice must be received by NovoCure's company secretary at NovoCure Limited, Second Floor, No. 4 The Forum, Grenville Street, St. Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands JE2 4UF, not later than the 90th Clear Day (as defined in our Articles) nor earlier than the 120th Clear Day before the one-year anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting; provided, however, that if that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days prior to such anniversary date or delayed by more than 60 days after the anniversary date, then, it must be so received by the company secretary not earlier than the close of business on the 120th Clear Day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the 60th Clear Day prior to such annual meeting, or (ii) the tenth Clear Day following the day on which a public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made. As set forth in our Articles, submissions must include all information regarding the proposed nominee that is required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings in a contested election pursuant to Regulation 14(a) under the Exchange Act and a written and signed consent of the proposed nominee to be named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected. Our Articles also specify further requirements as to the form and content of a shareholder's notice. We recommend that any shareholder wishing to make a nomination for director review a copy of our Articles, as amended and restated to date, which is available, without charge, from Investor Relations, NovoCure Limited, at 1550 Liberty Ridge Drive, Suite 115, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087, USA.

**Code of Conduct**

We have adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics (the "Code of Conduct") that applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. A current copy of the Code of Conduct is posted in the "Corporate Governance" section of our investor relations website at <u>www.novocure.com</u>. We intend to disclose any amendment to the Code of Conduct, or any waivers of its requirements, on our website.

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

All of our directors, officers and employees are subject to our "Policy Statement on Securities Trades by Company Officers, Directors and Employees" (the "Insider Trading Policy"). The Insider Trading Policy prohibits the purchase or sale of our persons who possess material, nonpublic information, as well as the unauthorized disclosure of such information to others, and also sets forth our trading window limitations. In addition, as described below, the Insider Trading Policy sets forth our anti-hedging and anti-pledging policies.

We consider it inappropriate for any director, officer or employee to enter into speculative transactions in our securities. Hedging or monetization transactions can be accomplished through a number of possible mechanisms,

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_10)</u>

including through the use of financial instruments such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds, forward sales contracts and the purchase or sale of puts, calls, options or other derivative securities based on the our securities by our directors, officers or employees. Therefore, pursuant to the Insider Trading Policy, our directors, officers and employees are prohibited from engaging in any such transactions or similar transactions. Additionally, no director, officer or employee may pledge our securities individually owned or through a family trust as collateral for any loan, nor may any director, officer or employee hold our securities owned individually or through a family trust in an account in which securities are purchased on margin.

The provisions of the Insider Trading Policy also apply to family members, including spouses or domestic partners, any family members or other persons who live in the director's, officer's or employee's home, and any family members who do not live in the home but whose transactions in our securities are directed by, or subject to, the director's, officer's or employee's influence or control. For directors who are affiliated with any entity that is a holder of our securities, the Insider Trading Policy also applies to such entities. Our Insider Trading Policy is posted in the "Corporate Governance" section of our investor relations website at <u>www.novocure.com</u>.

**Corporate Governance Guidelines**

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines address Board composition, compensation, director qualifications, director independence, committee structure and roles, among other things. Our Board and our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee regularly review our governance policies and practices and developments in corporate governance and update our Corporate Governance Guidelines as they deem appropriate. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are posted in the "Corporate Governance" section of our investor relations website at <u>www.novocure.com</u>.

**Shareholder Communications with the Board of Directors**

Should shareholders or other interested parties wish to communicate with our Board or any specified individual directors, such correspondence should be sent to the attention of our General Counsel, NovoCure Limited, at 1550 Liberty Ridge Drive, Suite 115, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087, USA. Our General Counsel will forward the communication to the appropriate Board members. Communications that are not related to the duties and responsibilities of the Board, or are otherwise considered to be improper for submission to the intended recipient(s), as determined by our General Counsel, will not be forwarded.

**Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation**

None of the directors who served as members of our Compensation Committee during 2025 was also an officer or one of our employees. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board of directors) of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our Board or our Compensation Committee.

**Our Commitment to Corporate Responsibility and Governance**<br>

Corporate social responsibility is important to us and patients remain at the heart of the work we do every day. Our corporate mission is, together with our patients, to strive to extend survival in some of the most aggressive forms of cancer by developing and commercializing our innovative therapy. As part of this mission to serve patients, we take our responsibilities seriously with respect to the areas of environmental sustainability, social responsibility and corporate governance (ESG) and corporate responsibility. Additional details regarding our ESG and corporate responsibility efforts are included in our Novocure Corporate Responsibility Report, available on the investor relations page of our website at www.novocure.com.

**Patients**<br>

We believe it is imperative for patients to be the guiding light for our team as we strive to extend survival in some of the most aggressive forms of cancer. Our goal is to ensure our patients and their caregivers feel supported, secure, and valued throughout their use of our therapy.

We are committed to assisting those patients in financial need who have limited or no medical coverage to access our therapy. We provide financial assistance to patients who qualify based on financial and other criteria. Additionally, we bear the financial risk of securing payment from third-party payers and patients in most of our active markets. We strive to ensure that our therapy is financially accessible for each patient. We also provide a number of patient support and education programs.

**Employees**<br>

We are committed to supporting our employees through effective engagement and communication, talent development initiatives, and wellness programs and to cultivating an inclusive work environment.

We seek to retain our employees through competitive compensation and benefits packages, including a broad-based equity award program for employees, and our values-driven culture. We invest in our talent by providing our employees with training, mentoring, and career development opportunities, all of which enables us to hire and retain talented, high-performing employees. We have a robust employee wellness program that recognizes and supports the importance of personal health and work-life balance. We offer certain health and wellness programs to our employees and their family members, including financial wellness clinics, nutritional orientations, exercise programs and challenges, weight-loss programs, flu shots, and recreational activities.

Employee retention and turnover analytics are regularly reviewed by our Compensation Committee. We believe our employee engagement, robust benefits program, and educational and leadership programs contribute to our strong employee retention year over year.

**Communities**<br>

We believe the strength of our communities is paramount to our long-term success. In line with our mission and values, we strive to engage, strengthen and enrich the communities where we live and work. We sponsor and support numerous non-profits and patient advocacy groups and our employees donate their time. Our contributions and our hands-on volunteer work help to support the work of non-profit organizations of all sizes, working in areas such as cancer research, patient support, community wellness and equality, children in foster care, veterans needs, career development for women and teens, and scientific and technology education. In addition, we are dedicated to supporting independent organizations with shared goals and values related to advancing medical care and improving patient outcomes through education grants, career development awards, charitable contributions, sponsorships and investigator-sponsored trials.

We are committed to reducing the environmental impact of our operations. Although we lease the majority of our buildings, we utilize a variety of technology intended to increase the sustainability of our workspaces and are committed to improving our sustainability practices over time. We follow international guidelines for the disposal of electronic waste and, where applicable, we also follow more stringent local laws and regulations. We continue to increase our efforts to minimize our carbon footprint, reduce transportation and travel, and protect valuable natural resources while operating a global business.

**Governance and Ethics**<br>

We maintain high ethical standards in all that we do. Our comprehensive Code of Conduct applies to and sets expectations for our employees, officers and directors and anyone doing business on our behalf, including contractors, consultants and distributors. We will not attempt to influence a healthcare professional, patient or customer through improper inducement. Our adherence to ethical standards and compliance with applicable laws is critical to our ability to preserve our reputation and to continue collaborating with health care professionals to serve the interests of our patients.

We regularly solicit and evaluate input from our shareholders and consider their independent oversight of management and our long-term strategy. As part of our commitment to constructive engagement with investors, we evaluate and respond to the views voiced by our shareholders. This ongoing dialogue has led to enhancements in our corporate governance, corporate responsibility practices, and executive compensation activities, which we believe are in the best interests of our business and our shareholders.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for the oversight of our corporate responsibility policies and practices, as well as safety and compliance, and receives quarterly updates from management.

**Quality, Safety and Regulatory Compliance**<br>

We are committed to providing high quality products and to ensuring product integrity and patient safety during development, commercial manufacturing, distribution of our products and throughout the product lifecycle. We also are committed to providing a safe and secure work environment and maintaining environmental, health and safety policies that seek to promote the well being of our employees. We provide regular health and safety training programs for our employees.

As a medical device manufacturer that directly interacts with both healthcare providers and patients, we recognize data privacy and security as a fundamental imperative. We are externally audited and tested by top information security firms, including regular penetration testing. Our commitment to a strong cybersecurity culture is reinforced through security training and awareness programs.

In our efforts to be unsurpassed in patient safety, product quality and reliability, we are committed to complying with the laws, regulations, Company policies and procedures and standards for safety and efficacy in the research, design, manufacturing, distribution and monitoring of our products. In addition to holding ourselves accountable for the quality of our products and therapies, we also hold our suppliers and distributors accountable to ensure the quality of the products and services they provide. We work diligently to ensure the safety of the patients and volunteers who take part in our clinical studies, and to uphold the highest ethical, scientific and clinical standards in all of our research initiatives worldwide. Our clinical studies are designed to be conducted in accordance with applicable laws and regulations as well as recognized medical and ethical standards. Our policies and procedures are intended to ensure the health, well-being and safety of research participants as well as respect the culture, laws and regulations of the countries in which studies are conducted.

**CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

The Company has not entered into any transactions since January 1, 2025, to which we have been a party in which the amount involved exceeded $120,000 and in which any of our executive officers, directors, promoters or beneficial holders of more than 5% of our Ordinary Shares had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than compensation arrangements which are described under the sections of this Proxy Statement captioned "Director Compensation" and "Executive Compensation."

**Related Party Transaction Policy**

Our Board adopted a written related party transaction policy as set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, setting forth the policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of transactions involving us and related persons. For the purposes of this policy, related persons will include our executive officers, directors and director nominees or their immediate family members, or shareholders owning 5% or more of our outstanding Ordinary Shares and their immediate affiliates.

The policy covers, with certain exceptions set forth in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any transaction, arrangement or relationship, where the amount involved exceeds $120,000 per year and a related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, including, without limitation, purchases of goods or services by or from the related person or entities in which the related person has a material interest, indebtedness, guarantees of indebtedness and employment by us of a related person.

Our executive officers and directors are discouraged from entering into any transaction that may cause a conflict of interest. If such a transaction shall arise, they must report any potential conflict of interest, including related party transactions, to our General Counsel, who will then review and summarize the proposed transaction for our Audit Committee. In reviewing and approving any such transactions, our Audit Committee is tasked to consider all relevant facts and circumstances including, but not limited to, whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in an arm's-length transaction with an unrelated party and the extent of the related person's interest in the transaction. All related party transactions may only be consummated if our Audit Committee has approved or ratified such transaction in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the policy.

**2025 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION**<br>

**Director Compensation Program**

Our Compensation Committee, with the guidance of its independent compensation consultant, reviews our director compensation program annually to evaluate whether it remains in alignment with the compensation practices of our peers. Based on benchmarking and input from the Compensation Committee's independent advisor, for 2025 the Compensation Committee made no changes to the initial equity award value ($667,000), the annual equity award value ($375,000) or the base cash retainer for Non-Employee Directors for service on any Board committee. In 2024, the compensation program was amended to include the reimbursement to our Non-Employee Directors for up to $5,000 in tax preparation fees related to their service on the Board. The table below reflects the cash compensation for our Non-Employee Directors effective April 20, 2026.

Pursuant to our Director Education Policy, directors are encouraged to attend director education programs to stay abreast of developments in corporate governance and "best practices" relevant to their contribution to the Board generally as well as to their responsibilities in their specific Committee assignments and other roles. We reimburse directors for the reasonable costs of attending director education programs under the policy, including tuition, travel, lodging and meals. Directors serving on multiple boards are encouraged to obtain pro rata reimbursement of their director education expenses from each corporation that they serve, but we will nonetheless reimburse 100% of the costs if this is not practicable.

**Cash Compensation**

Our Non-Employee Directors receive an annual cash retainer for service on the Board, plus reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at Board and Board committee meetings, as well as additional retainers for service as our Lead Independent Director or service on committees of the Board. Accordingly, Messrs. Danziger and Doyle do not receive compensation from us for their service on our Board. For the 2025 compensation year, our Non-Employee Directors received the following cash retainers, which are paid in quarterly installments following the end of each quarter:

---

**Equity Compensation**

Our Non-Employee Directors are eligible to receive equity awards under our 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2024 Plan") or any other equity plan we maintain pursuant to our Non-Employee Director compensation program ("NEDP").

**Initial Awards:** Upon his or her initial election or appointment to our Board, each Non-Employee Director will receive a non-qualified share option (an "Initial Award") to purchase a number of our Ordinary Shares such that the award has an aggregate grant date fair value equal to $667,000 (subject to rounding to the nearest whole Ordinary Share). If the Non-Employee Director is appointed between Annual Meetings, the Initial Award will be granted on the last trading day of the month following such election or appointment or, if such date falls during a company-wide closed trading window, then on the first day on which such trading window opens. If the Non-Employee Director is elected at an Annual Meeting, the Initial Award will be granted on the date of such Annual Meeting.

Each Initial Award will vest in equal installments over three years on the anniversary of the date of grant (the "Grant Anniversary Date"), subject to the Non-Employee Director's continued service to us through the applicable Grant Anniversary Date. In the case of Initial Awards granted on the date of our Annual Meeting, if a subsequent Annual

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_10)</u>

Meeting is held prior to the Grant Anniversary Date, the annual vesting for such year will occur the day immediately preceding the date of the Annual Meeting in such year, subject to the Non-Employee Director's continued service to us on such date.

**Annual Awards:** A Non-Employee Director who has served as a member of our Board for at least six months prior to the date of our Annual Meeting will be granted an equity award under the 2024 Plan consisting of non-qualified share options and/or restricted shares units (collectively, the "Annual Awards"). Our Non-Employee Directors may elect to receive their Annual Awards as follows (i) fifty percent of the value of the equity award allocated to restricted share units ("RSUs") and the remainder to non-qualified share options or (ii) one hundred percent in non-qualified share options. The total aggregate grant date fair value of the equity award(s) will equal $375,000 (subject to rounding to the nearest whole Ordinary Share).

Each Annual Award will vest in full on the earlier of (a) the first Grant Anniversary Date or (b) the day immediately preceding the date of the next Annual Meeting, subject to the Non-Employee Director's continued service to us through such date. In addition, any outstanding equity awards made pursuant to the Non-Employee Director compensation program will vest in full immediately prior to a Change in Control (as defined in the 2024 Plan), subject to the Non-Employee Director's continued service to us on such date.

**Share Ownership Guidelines**

Pursuant to the NovoCure Limited Share Ownership Guidelines, adopted in 2017 and amended in 2020 and 2024, Non-Employee Directors are expected to own Ordinary Shares of our Company having a value equal to at least three times the annual cash retainer. Our Non-Employee Directors are required to achieve the Share Ownership Guidelines within five years of joining our Board or, in the case of directors serving at the time the guidelines were initially adopted, within five years of the date of adoption of the guidelines. As of the Record Date, all of our Non-Employee Directors are in compliance with our Share Ownership Guidelines or are expected to be in compliance within the required timeframe.

**COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

**Executive Summary**

This section discusses and analyzes the decisions we made concerning the compensation of our NEOs for 2025. It also describes the process for determining executive compensation and the factors considered in determining the amount of compensation awarded to our NEOs. Mr. Danziger, our Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Doyle, our Executive Chairman, have been critical to Novocure's success and have collaborated for nearly 20 years to advance our therapy from the preclinical stage through clinical studies to regulatory approvals and ultimately to commercial sales in the United States, Europe, Japan, and Greater China. They have recruited, engaged, and retained an exceptional senior leadership team. Because we know of no precedent for our business model and cancer therapy, we believe it is vital to our current and future success, and to the continued creation of value for our shareholders, that we retain our experienced leadership team with a proven track record of innovation and success.

Our NEOs for 2025 are:

**2025 Performance Highlights**<br>

**•** Over the course of 2025, our management team, the Compensation Committee and its independent compensation consultant monitored our performance and did not make any significant changes to our compensation philosophy. Our 2025 notable achievements include:

**Increased adoption of Tumor Treating Fields ("TTFields") therapy** 

• As of December 31, 2025, 4,620 active patients were using Optune Gio<sup>®</sup> and Optune Lua<sup>®</sup>, an increase of 12% from year-end 2024.

• In 2025, 7,035 total prescriptions were received, an increase of 9% compared to 2024.

• Received CE Mark for the use of Optune Lua for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer ("NSCLC") concurrent with immune checkpoint inhibitor or docetaxel who have progressed on or after a platinum-based regimen. Following receipt of CE Mark, Novocure received local registration and launched Optune Lua for the treatment of NSCLC in Germany.

• Received approval from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare for the use of Optune Lua concurrent with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable advanced or recurrent NSCLC who have progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy.

• Received a positive coverage determination from Spain's Ministry of Health for the use of Optune Gio to treat adult patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma through the Spanish National Health System.

**Advanced our clinical and product development pipelines**

• Presented final data from the Phase 3 PANOVA-3 clinical trial, which explored the efficacy and safety of TTFields therapy together with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel for the treatment of unresectable, locally-advanced pancreatic cancer at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting. The PANOVA-3 trial met its primary endpoint as patients treated with TTFields therapy, gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel exhibited a statistically significant extension in overall survival compared to patients treated with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel alone. The results of the PANOVA-3 trial were simultaneously published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. Following publication of final data, a premarket approval application for the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer was submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA").

• Presented final data from the Phase 3 METIS clinical trial, which explored the efficacy and safety of TTFields therapy together with best supportive care for the treatment of brain metastases from NSCLC following stereotactic radiosurgery at the 2025 American Society for Radiation Oncology Annual Meeting. The METIS trial met its primary endpoint as patients treated with TTFields therapy and best supportive care demonstrated a statistically significant extension in time to intracranial progression compared to patients treated with best supportive care alone. The results of the METIS trial were simultaneously published in the International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology and Physics. Following publication of final data, a premarket approval application for the treatment of brain metastases from NSCLC was submitted to the FDA.

**Developed and expanded our talent pool**

• Announced the promotion of then President, Frank Leonard, to the role of Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), effective December 1, 2025.

**Created shareholder value by building a profitable business**

• Generated $655 million in annual net revenues, an increase of 8% compared to 2024.

• Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $448 million as of December 31, 2025.

Our Board and Compensation Committee determined that the Company met most of the predetermined targets in furtherance of our corporate objectives in 2025. Based on the level of achievement, upon the recommendation of our Compensation Committee, our Board determined that our NEOs earned incentive bonuses at 100% of target for 2025 (as described further in the section entitled "Annual Incentives"), demonstrating alignment between actual performance results and pay outcomes.

**Our Pay Practices**

We believe that our compensation practices are reasonable and competitive with the market and our peers. Our compensation program is designed to attract, motivate, reward and retain our highly qualified executives in order to achieve our strategic objectives. We believe our pay practices are aligned with our pay for performance philosophy and emphasize our commitment to sound compensation and governance practices. Our policies and practices include:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|<br>✔ | **WHAT WE DO**<br>**Pay for performance** - A significant percentage of each NEO's target total direct compensation is performance-based compensation and at-risk |
| ✔ | **Pay competitively** - Our Compensation Committee selects our peers from companies that are similar to us with respect to business characteristics, market capitalization, revenue and headcount, while also taking into account a number of qualitative criteria |
| ✔ | **Align compensation with shareholder interests** - A significant portion of compensation is tied to achievement of our corporate objectives and financial performance |
| ✔ | **Double trigger change in control provisions** - We use double-trigger accelerated vesting of equity awards in the event of a change in control |
| ✔ | **Independent compensation consultant** - The Compensation Committee engages its own compensation consultant to assist with making compensation decisions |
| ✔ | **Robust stock ownership and retention guidelines** - We maintain a policy that requires minimum ownership of our Ordinary Shares by our CEO and other executive officers |
| ✔ | **Clawback and recoupment policy** - We have a robust and compliant policy for the recoupment of incentive compensation that applies to all executive officers |
| ✔ | **Anti-hedging and anti-pledging policy** - Our executives, directors and other insiders are prohibited from entering into hedging and pledging transactions related to our shares |
| ✔ | **Annual say-on-pay vote** - We value the regular feedback from our shareholders on our executive compensation program and hold an annual say-on-pay vote |
| ✔ | **Design plans to mitigate excessive risk taking** - We set performance goals that consider our publicly-announced Company goals, which we believe encourages appropriate risk-taking |

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **WHAT WE DON'T DO** |

**2025 Say-on-Pay Vote and Shareholder Engagement**<br>

At our 2025 Annual Meeting, our shareholders expressed support for our executive compensation program, with 97.5% of the votes cast (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes) voting in favor of the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in the 2025 proxy statement. The Compensation Committee considered this result to illustrate strong support of the Company's NEO compensation philosophy and practices. Although our compensation program was overwhelmingly approved, the Compensation Committee considers ongoing shareholder feedback a valuable tool in determining and evaluating our executive compensation practices. In 2025, as part of our ongoing shareholder outreach efforts, we reached out to the top twenty of our largest shareholders and engaged in discussion with each of those shareholders who expressed an interest in meeting with us. The Chair of our Compensation Committee (who is also our Lead Director) and the Chair of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee were made available to these shareholders if they wished to include them in these discussions. Our Chief Human Resources Officer and General Counsel led the discussions, with members of our legal and corporate responsibility teams also participating. The opinions of our shareholders are important to us and we are committed to taking investor feedback into account when designing our executive compensation programs. A common theme we have heard from our investors is that a focus on long-term performance-based equity awards is desirable, along with awards that are aligned to delivering long-term total shareholder return. In keeping with our commitment to consider the feedback we receive through these shareholder discussions and in consultation with our independent executive compensation consultant (see below), our long-term incentive program continues to include time-based restricted share units ("RSUs") with three-year vesting, share options with four year vesting, and performance-based share units with at least a three-year measurement period as a meaningful part of our NEO annual equity award allocations. We implemented this equity program for our NEOs in response to feedback from key investors and we continue to maintain the design in order to align our long-term pay incentives with our shareholders' interests.

In prior years, shareholders expressed their opposition to the annual 4% automatic increase in share availability that was included in our 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan and 1% automatic increase in share availability that was included in our Employee Share Purchase Plan, each of which was adopted prior to our initial public offering. The Compensation Committee and our management took this feedback under advisement and in response removed the automatic increase from our 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which replaced the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan and from our 2025 Employee Share Purchase Plan, which replaced the Employee Share Purchase Plan. Both plans were ultimately approved by our shareholders.

The Compensation Committee will continue to consider shareholder input as well as the results of our say-on-pay votes when making future compensation decisions for our NEOs. We expect to continue our shareholder engagement efforts through further direct outreach to large institutional shareholders, as well as through regular investor relations channels, such as investor road shows, analyst meetings and other conferences and meetings, and welcome any feedback from shareholders throughout the year.

**Compensation Components**

Our executive compensation program includes the following key elements:

![Comp Elements 2.jpg](nvcr-20260420_g3.jpg)

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Element** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Design** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Purpose** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Key 2025 Actions** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Base Salary** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fixed compensation component. Reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Intended to attract and retain executives with proven skills and leadership abilities that will enable us to be successful. | &nbsp;&nbsp;Base salaries for all NEOs were reviewed and the base salary for one NEO was adjusted to align with the market and for individual performance. No other increases were provided. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Annual Incentive Award (Target Bonus)** | &nbsp;&nbsp;Variable, at risk performance-based compensation component. Payable based on business results (e.g. increased adoption of TTFields, regulatory achievements, financial performance, etc.) and individual performance. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Intended to motivate and reward executives for successful execution of strategic priorities. | &nbsp;&nbsp;Targets as a percentage of base salary were established at the beginning of 2025 for each NEO, with payments reflecting achievements of our key corporate goals and individual performance as determined by the Compensation Committee.  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Long-Term Incentive Awards (Target Equity)** | &nbsp;&nbsp;Variable or at-risk compensation component. Delivered in 2025 as time-vested RSUs, share options and performance-based restricted share unit awards, the value of which will depend on share price performance and achievement of predetermined targets. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Intended to motivate and reward executives for long-term Company financial performance and enhanced long-term shareholder value by balancing compensation opportunity and risk, while encouraging sustained performance and retention. | &nbsp;&nbsp;Equity awards granted in 2025 to NEOs were targeted at competitive levels commensurate with the high performance and experience of the executive team to encourage exceptional future performance and provide retention value. |

**Compensation Mix (CEO and other NEOs)**

The Compensation mix of our CEO and all other NEOs as a group, are presented below and represent the base salaries and annual and long-term incentive target amounts for 2025.

![image.jpg](nvcr-20260420_g4.jpg)

The information presented combines the compensation received by Ms. Cordova and Mr. Leonard in their roles as CEO for the duration in which they served in that role.

**Setting Compensation**

We have designed our executive compensation program to attract, retain and motivate superior executive talent by providing compensation, in the aggregate, that we believe is reasonable and competitive. We provide our executives with incentives that we believe will both reward the achievement of performance goals that directly correlate to the enhancement of shareholder and stakeholder value and facilitate executive retention. We strive to align our executives' interests with those of shareholders through long-term incentives, with a portion linked to specific performance metrics. Because we know of no precedent for our business model and cancer therapy, we believe it is vital to our current and future success, and to the continued creation of value for our shareholders, that we retain our experienced leadership team with a proven track record of innovation and success.

Our Compensation Committee's annual compensation review for 2025 included an analysis of data, comparing the Company's executive and director compensation levels and practices against a peer group of similarly-sized medical device and biopharmaceuticals companies. Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. ("FW Cook") provided our Compensation Committee with advice, counsel and recommendations with respect to the composition of the peer group and competitive data used for assessing our compensation program. Our Compensation Committee used this and other information provided by FW Cook to reach an independent recommendation regarding compensation to be paid to our Executive Chairman, CEO, directors and other executives. Our Compensation Committee's final recommendation was then given to the independent directors of our Board for review and final approval.

Our Compensation Committee reviewed the companies included in the prior year's peer group of publicly-traded companies with respect to revenue, market capitalization and research and development expense, each as compared to the same metrics for the Company, and determined that no adjustments were necessary for 2025, except for companies that were included in 2024 but were acquired in 2025.

The peer group of publicly-traded companies set forth below was used to analyze 2025 executive compensation:

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_10)</u>

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 10x Genomics, Inc. | Immunocore |
| Align Technology | Incyte Corporation |
| Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. |
| BeOne Medicines (1) | Insulet Corporation |
| Blueprint Medicines (2) | iRhythm Technologies |
| CRISPR Therapeutics AG | Teladoc Health, Inc. |
| Exact Sciences Corporation | TransMedics |
| Exelixis, Inc | Zai Lab Limited |
| Guardant Health |  |

---

(1) BeiGene, Ltd. changed its name to BeOne Medicines after our 2025 executive compensation was established.

(2) Blueprint Medicines was acquired after our 2025 executive compensation was established.

Our Compensation Committee selected these companies after reviewing publicly-held companies in the medical device and biopharmaceuticals industries offering products or services similar to ours, with annual revenues generally between one-third and three times our annual revenue and market capitalization within a reasonable range of our market capitalization.

For retention and competitive considerations, the Company evaluated each NEO's total cash compensation and total direct compensation levels against the 2025 peer group data or survey composite data applicable to each position. Because compensation decisions are complex, the Compensation Committee considers competitive market data as one factor in evaluating compensation decisions. Our Compensation Committee's final determinations with respect to base salary, target annual incentive compensation and target long-term incentive compensation also reflect consideration of the Company's and the NEO's performance, internal comparisons, potential, scope of position, retention needs and other factors our Compensation Committee deems appropriate. Our Compensation Committee made its specific compensation determinations in 2025, as described further below, with the intention to provide our executive officers with the ability to earn above-market compensation for superior performance in furtherance of the Company's long-term strategic goals.

**The Role and Philosophy of our Compensation Committee**

Our Compensation Committee is composed solely of independent directors and reports to the Board. The Committee has primary responsibility for making compensation decisions for our executives and operates under a charter approved by the Board. Our Compensation Committee retained FW Cook as its independent executive compensation consultant to advise on compensation matters. For 2025, our Compensation Committee used information from FW Cook and input from our CEO and our Executive Chairman (except for matters regarding their own pay) and assistance from our Chief Human Resources Officer and the executive compensation team to make compensation decisions and to conduct its annual review of our Company's executive compensation program.

Our executive compensation philosophy is to be reasonable and competitive with the market and our peers and pay for performance. The Committee uses many metrics to evaluate performance for purposes of setting executive compensation, including financial measures such as net revenue, total shareholder return, and Adjusted EBITDA (as described in our Annual Report), and non-financial measures, such as active patients, innovation milestones, and significant regulatory submissions. Our executive compensation program is designed to attract, motivate, reward and retain our highly qualified executives in order to achieve our strategic objectives. The Committee strives to grant long term incentives at the upper end of the market and to deliver a meaningful portion of annual compensation in performance-based equity.

The philosophy of our executive compensation program supports our efforts to provide a compelling, dynamic, market-based total compensation program tied to performance and aligned with our shareholders' interests. Our goal is to ensure our Company has the talent it needs to maintain sustained long-term performance for our shareholders and employees. We believe our pay practices are aligned with our pay for performance philosophy and emphasize our commitment to sound compensation and governance practices. The guiding principles that help us achieve these goals are:

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_10)</u>

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Recruit and retain | Our compensation program is designed to support recruitment in the highly competitive labor market in which we compete and retain top talent for our critical roles. In particular, given the unique nature of our business as the first commercialized oncology medical device company, we believe that it is critical that we recruit and retain very talented individuals to help us continue to grow and optimize our business model and cancer therapy. |
| Pay for performance | A significant portion of our executives' compensation is tied to the performance of our Company, rewarding executives for progress towards our strategic and operational goals and reducing pay earned to the extent goals are not achieved. |
| Aligned with strategy | Our compensation program is designed to be aligned with our Company strategies. |
| Aligned with shareholders | Our compensation program, through both design and payouts, is structured to be aligned with the long-term interests of our shareholders. |
| Reinforce succession planning | We believe that our compensation program plays a key role in making sure we have the talent we need for long-term success and to deliver against our strategic operating plan. |
| Data-driven decision making | We design our executive compensation program and make pay decisions considering a balance of information. Given the locations of our executives in Switzerland, Israel and the United States, we benchmark not only against our peers but also in consideration of customary executive compensation practices in Switzerland, Israel and the United States. |

**Compensation Consultant**

For 2025, our Compensation Committee retained FW Cook to assist with reviewing the Company's compensation peer group; conducting market research and analysis on annual and long-term incentive programs, salaries, and equity awards; assisting our Compensation Committee in developing target grant levels and annual salaries for executives and other key employees; advising our Compensation Committee on public company equity programs; providing our Compensation Committee with advice and ongoing recommendations regarding material executive compensation decisions; and reviewing compensation proposals of management. FW Cook regularly attends Compensation Committee meetings and holds executive sessions with the Compensation Committee members.

Based on the six factors for assessing independence and identifying potential conflicts of interest that are set forth in SEC Rule 10C-1(b)(4) under the Exchange Act, the NASDAQ listing standards and such other factors as were deemed relevant under the circumstances, our Compensation Committee has determined that FW Cook is independent and the work FW Cook performed on behalf of our Compensation Committee did not raise any conflict of interest.

In establishing compensation levels and awards for executive officers other than our CEO and Executive Chairman, our Compensation Committee takes into consideration the recommendations of FW Cook and Chief Human

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_10)</u>

Resources Officer and executive compensation team, Company performance and evaluations by our CEO of each executive's individual performance. FW Cook also provides peer group data to the Compensation Committee for the purpose of benchmarking director compensation.

**Base Salary**

Our Compensation Committee conducts an annual review of each executive officer's base salary, with input from our Executive Chairman (other than with respect to himself), our Chief Executive Officer (other than with respect to himself or the Executive Chairman), and Chief Human Resources Officer and makes adjustments as it determines appropriate to remain competitive and in furtherance of our compensation philosophy and Company performance, objectives and needs. Revisions generally become effective in April of each year. Our Compensation Committee approved a 2025 base salary increase for Mr. Leonard following the Committee's review and consideration of relevant factors including market data provided by FW Cook and individual performance. Except as described in the table below, the 2025 base salaries for the other NEOs did not change as compared to the prior year.

The 2025 annual base salaries of our NEOs are set forth below (expressed in U.S. dollars ("USD") as established by the Compensation Committee:

**Annual Incentives**

In general, the annual incentives, including the cash bonus opportunities of each executive officer, are determined by the achievement of pre-determined targets and personal objectives. Under their respective employment

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_10)</u>

agreements, the NEOs have pre-established target bonus amounts (expressed as a percentage of base salary) payable at the discretion of our Board and Compensation Committee based on actual performance.

Our Board-approved annual incentive plan targets for 2025 were tied to our corporate objectives, which are described below. These targets were intended to incentivize the achievement of our strategic operating plan and were designed to be attainable with strong coordinated performance by management. The achievement of each target is based on the Compensation Committee's assessment of performance, ranging from 0% to 200%, which the Compensation Committee may adjust in its discretion under appropriate circumstances. Each target is also weighted. The cumulative payout is determined by aggregating the weighted scores, which can then be modified up or down by up to 20% if the Compensation Committee determines that other corporate achievements warrant such adjustment. Achievement below the 50% level for any target would receive a zero score. No achievement can exceed a 200% score. Achievement between the target levels are extrapolated on a linear basis.

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Target** | **Weight** | **50% Target Score** | **100% Target Score** | **200% Target Score** |
| Optune Gio Active Patients as of December 31, 2025 | 20% | 4,100 Active Patients | 4,300 Active Patients | 4,400 Active Patients |
| Optune Lua Patients as of December 31, 2025 | 20% | 200 Active Patients | 350 Active Patients | 500 Active Patients |
| Adjusted EBITDA\* | 20% | Greater than or equal to ($87M) | Greater than or equal to ($72M) | Greater than or equal to ($57M) |
| Total Clinical Trial Enrollments for D58, LUNAR-2 and LUNAR -4 (1) | 10% | 345 Total Patients Enrolled | 405 Total Patients Enrolled | 435 Total Patients Enrolled |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Achieve Development Milestones: <br>–METIS and PANOVA-3 Published<br>–New Arrays Ready for Regulatory Review<br>–METIS PMA Submitted to FDA<br>–PANOVA-3 PMA Submitted to FDA | 30% | 2 of 4 Milestones Achieved | 3 of 4 Milestones Achieved | 4 of 4 Milestones Achieved |

---

\*Adjusted EBITDA means net income, plus net interest, tax, depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation expenses.

(1) Our LUNAR-4 trial was discontinued in August 2025. LUNAR-4 patients enrolled to the date of discontinuation are included and the Compensation Committee approved a reduction of the targets for the patients to have been enrolled over the remainder of 2025.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_10)</u>

Our actual achievement, score, weighted scores and adjustments were as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Target** | **Weight** | **Actual Achievement** | **Score** | **Weighted Score** |
| Optune Gio Active Patients | 20% | 4,464 Active Patients | 200% | 40% |
| Optune Lua Active Patients | 20% | 156 Active Patients | —% | —% |
| Adjusted EBITDA\* | 20% | ($25M) | 200% | 40% |
| Total Clinical Trial Enrollments for D58, LUNAR-2 and LUNAR -4 | 10% | 430 Patients Enrolled | 183% | 18% |
| Achieve Development Milestones | 30% | 3 of 4 (Array submission not achieved) | 100% | 30% |
|  |  | Modifier Adjustment | Modifier Adjustment | —% |
|  |  | Cumulative Achievement | Cumulative Achievement | 128% |

---

As shown above, our Board and Compensation Committee determined that the Company met expectations regarding achievement of certain objectives, but did not meet expectations regarding the achievement of others. With respect to the Optune Gio Active Patient, Adjusted EBITDA and Clinical Trial Enrollment objectives, our Board and Compensation Committee approved an above-target payout, as each of these goals significantly exceeded the target amount. Our Board and Compensation Committee also determined that it was appropriate under the circumstances to modify the aggregate achievement level by a downward adjustment of 28% to reflect that Optune Lua Active Patients significantly underperformed expectations and that the Company's share price was negatively impacted, notwithstanding the other achievements listed under "2025 Performance Highlights" above. Based on this level of achievement, upon the recommendation of our Compensation Committee, our Board determined that the executive team (including the NEOs) earned incentive bonuses at 100% of target for 2025.

The Compensation Committee may also assess the individual performance or achievements of each NEO and determine if a further adjustment (upward or downward) of their annual incentive award is warranted. No individual adjustments were made for any NEO in 2025.

**Long-term Incentives**

Our executive compensation program ties a substantial portion of each executive's overall compensation to the achievement of our key strategic, financial and operational goals, using a blend of time-based and performance-based equity awards to help align the interests of our executives with those of our shareholders.

Recognizing the importance of the continuity and continued dedication of the management team and other key employees to achieving our Company's key objectives, and after carefully considering the equity participation of such employees, the highly competitive labor market in which we compete to attract and retain employees, and our other near-term and long-term business objectives, our Compensation Committee granted time-based option awards, RSUs awards and PSUs to our NEOs in March 2025.

Our Compensation Committee believes that options, RSUs and PSUs have strong retention value and granting such awards to members of management and key employees, including our executive officers, is in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders given the importance of such personnel to achieving our short-term and long-term Company objectives. Our Compensation Committee recognizes that, given the unique nature of our business, the loss of any one of the executive officers may adversely impact the achievement of our objectives until a qualified replacement could be hired and become familiar with our Company's business. For 2025, we awarded our CEO a mix of one-quarter (1/4) options, one-quarter (1/4), RSUs and one-half (1/2) PSUs, and all other NEOs a mix of one-third (1/3) options, one-third (1/3), RSUs and one-third (1/3) PSUs, on average, based on the grant date target fair values.

Our Compensation Committee sets guidelines for the value of long-term incentives to be awarded based on competitive compensation data. For 2025, the award sizes for each NEO was determined following an analysis of benchmarking data provided by FW Cook comparing equity award types and levels granted by our peer group and consideration of the compensation philosophy factors discussed above. The grant date values and number of shares awarded to our NEOs are provided in the 2025 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table and corresponding footnotes.

**Share Options**

Share options are an important element of our long-term incentive program, enabling us to further align the interests of executives with those of shareholders. In general, share options are awarded annually to our executives as well as to other key employees. Because share options vest over time and only have value if the price of our Ordinary Shares increases, we believe they encourage efforts to enhance long-term shareholder value.

Share option awards to our NEOs were approved by the Committee to support our compensation philosophy, provide significant performance incentives and create retention value. The options granted in 2025 vest ratably over four years and were granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of our Ordinary Shares on the grant date.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_10)</u>

**Restricted Share Units**

The Committee granted our NEOs time-based RSU awards to support our compensation philosophy, provide significant performance incentives and create retention value, as presented in the 2025 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table. The RSUs granted in 2025 vest ratably over three years.

**Performance-based Restricted Share Units**

The Committee granted the NEOs PSUs to further align their interests with the interests of shareholders by rewarding them for attainment of certain key milestones.

The 2025 PSU awards are eligible to vest upon our attaining the milestones described below. To earn the 2025 PSU awards, the NEO must remain an employee of the Company through of the date of vesting, which is three years from the date of grant.

Half (50%) of a target number of 2025 PSUs are eligible to be earned on the vesting date subject to achieving the following targets ("Threshold"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net Revenue for the year ending December 31, 2027 as reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K ("2027 Net Revenue") is at least $692 million,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Adjusted EBITDA for the year ending December 31, 2027 as reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K ("2027 Adjusted EBITDA") is greater than ($40 million),

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the total cumulative number of all patients enrolled in our LUNAR-2 and D58 clinical trials ("Key Trials") is equal to at least 1,180 enrolled patients, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;at least one substantial innovation as determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion (a "Substantial Innovation") has passed through stage gate "Exit 1" as of December 31, 2027 as determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion, pursuant to our stage gating process for product development as in effect during the term of the PSU (the "Stage Gate Process").

No 2025 PSUs will vest if none of the above Threshold targets are achieved.

A number of target 2025 PSUs are eligible to be earned on the vesting date subject to achieving the following targets ("Target"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2027 Net Revenue is at least $865 million,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2027 Adjusted EBITDA is greater than zero,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the total cumulative number of all patients enrolled in our Key Trials is equal to at least 1,330 enrolled patients, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;at least one Substantial Innovation has passed through stage gate "Exit 2" as of December 31, 2027 pursuant to the Stage Gate Process.

A number of outperformance 2025 PSUs are eligible to be earned on the vesting date subject to achieving the following targets ("Outperformance"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2027 Net Revenue is at least $951.5 million,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2027 Adjusted EBITDA is greater than $35 million,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;both Key Trials are fully enrolled, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;at least two Substantial Innovations have passed through stage gate "Exit 2" as of December 31, 2027 pursuant to the Stage Gate Process.

If the Company's performance falls between any of the Threshold, Target or Outperformance targets, the number of 2025 PSUs paid will be adjusted by linear interpolation between the applicable levels.

Our Compensation Committee intends to continue to granting awards with performance-based vesting criteria in future years as a part of our ongoing compensation program.

**2020 Performance Awards to Executive Chairman**<br>

In March 2020, following consultation with FW Cook and careful consideration of analysis and advice on pay competitiveness, incentive plan design, performance measurement, design and use of equity compensation, relevant market practices and trends with respect to the compensation of our executive officers and feedback received from shareholders through our outreach efforts at that time, the Committee granted Mr. Doyle, our Executive Chairman, PSUs to further align his interests with the interests of shareholders by rewarding him for attainment of critical clinical and FDA achievements and share price performance. The award consisted of target shares and outperformance shares. The PSUs were granted in lieu of any future annual equity awards during the performance period, which ended on March 5, 2026 (the "Determination Date"). The PSUs vested upon achievement of the following targets in the following increments, and subject to Mr. Doyle's continued service through the Determination Date.

(1) Fifty percent (50%) of the target shares are earned for either (x) each successful completion of up to two specified clinical studies (twenty-five percent (25%) of the total target shares for each) or (y) the First FDA Approval and Second FDA Approval (each as defined below) (25% of total target shares for each). This objective was met prior to the Determination Date.

(2) Fifty percent (50%) of the target shares are earned each for either (x) up to two FDA acceptances of a PMA submission by the Company for a new indication (twenty-five percent (25%) of the total target shares for each) or (y) the First FDA Approval and Second FDA Approval (twenty-five percent (25%) of the total target shares for each). This objective was met prior to the Determination Date.

(3) Fifty percent (50%) of the outperformance shares are earned if the Company receives one PMA for a new indication (the "First FDA Approval") within six (6) years of the grant date so long as the Company's share price, as calculated in accordance with the award agreement, has increased by at least twenty-five percent (25%) from the grant date to a measurement date (the "TSR Vesting Condition"). This objective was not met prior to the Determination Date.

(4) Fifty percent (50%) of the outperformance Shares will vest if the Company receives a second PMA for an indication unrelated to the First FDA Approval (the "Second FDA Approval") within six (6) years of the grant date so long as the Company's TSR Vesting Condition is met. This objective was not met prior to the Determination Date.

Having met the service requirement on the Determination date, 100% of Mr. Doyle's target shares, equal to 200,284 PSUs, converted to Ordinary Shares.

The PSUs were in lieu of any future equity awards for Mr. Doyle from the date of grant until the Determination Date. These PSUs were also granted to our Chief Executive Officer at the time, Asaf Danziger, however upon Mr. Danziger's retirement in 2024, his PSUs terminated and did not convert to Ordinary Shares.

Our Compensation Committee believes that the PSUs awarded to Mr. Doyle in 2020 supported the creation of sustained shareholder value as we strive to achieve our most critical long-term objectives.

**Other Employee Benefits and Compensation**

We provide limited executive perquisites to some of our NEOs and limited change-in-control benefits as described further below. We generally provide our executives in the United States, Switzerland and Israel with the same benefits provided to all other employees in the United States, Switzerland and Israel, respectively.

In the United States, we sponsor a tax-qualified 401(k) defined contribution plan. Our 401(k) plan, which is generally available to all employees, allows participants to defer amounts of their annual compensation before taxes, up to the maximum amount specified by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). We currently match 50% of the first 6% of a participant's annual compensation that he or she contributes, up to the maximum permitted by law. In 2025, we did not provide any profit-sharing contributions to our 401(k) plan.

As a global company, we frequently require our employees to relocate internationally. When that happens, we provide relocation services and benefits to enable them to transition to their new locations. These expenses include but are not limited to visa application, moving and other necessary services.

In Israel, we generally provide our executives, including NEOs, with severance, pension, disability and education benefits in line with both Israeli law as well as customary compensation practices among technology companies,

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_10)</u>

including medical device companies. In accordance with certain exceptions under Israeli law, Israeli executive officers are entitled to contractual severance benefits rather than the amounts specified by statute. Such contractual arrangements are common for employees in Israel in the technology sector. For these employees we have contractually agreed to adhere to the provisions of the General Approval and to contribute on a monthly basis to a Managers Insurance Policy (*bituach menahalim*) on their behalf with respect to severance, pension and disability benefits. In addition, we contribute to an advance study fund/professional education fund (*keren hishtalmut*) for their benefit.

Except as described above, we do not currently sponsor or contribute to any qualified or non-qualified defined benefit plan or any non-qualified defined contribution plan, and we do not currently maintain (or have any outstanding obligation with respect to) any traditional non-qualified deferred compensation plan or other deferred compensation plans.

**Compensation Policies and Practices**

**Recoupment of Incentive Compensation ("Clawback")**

Our Policy on Recoupment of Incentive Compensation (the "Recoupment Policy") applies to all executive officers (as designated by the Board) and any individual who served as an executive officer in the three year period prior to the date of the event that triggered the Recoupment Policy (each, a "Covered Executive"). The Recoupment Policy requires the Board to recover from a Covered Executive, subject to limited exceptions, an amount of any annual or long-term incentive compensation payment or award made or granted to the Covered Executive during the three year period preceding the filing of our financial statements that we are required to prepare containing an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance 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 (a "Restatement"). The amount to be recovered is the amount of such payment exceeded the amount that otherwise would have been paid had it been determined based on the restated amounts.

Our Recoupment Policy is intended to comply with final rules adopted by NASDAQ in satisfaction of the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act. Our employment agreements with our executive officers and the terms of the 2024 Plan contain provisions that automatically incorporate by reference the compensation recovery terms of the Dodd-Frank Act. To the extent the terms of such plans or agreements are inconsistent with any future changes to the applicable rules and listing standards, the requirements of the rules and listing standards will apply.

The terms of our 2024 Plan also contain provisions that allow us to recover any award issued under the 2024 Plan. Awards granted under the 2024 Plan are subject to recovery in the event the participant engages in "Detrimental Activity" within one year of the vesting or exercise of the award. Detrimental activity includes (i) the disclosure of confidential information, (ii) activity by the participant that would allow us to terminate the participant for cause or (iii) breach of any agreement between the participant and us or an Affiliate (including, without limitation, any written employment agreement or noncompetition or non-solicitation agreement).

**Share Ownership Guidelines**

Our Board believes that requiring executive officers to hold significant amounts of our Ordinary Shares strengthens their alignment with the interest of our shareholders and promotes achievement of long-term business objectives. Accordingly, our share ownership guidelines are intended to align more closely the interests of our executive officers with the interests of our shareholders and to continue to promote our commitment to sound corporate governance. Under these guidelines, our executive officers are required to achieve ownership of our Ordinary Shares valued at three times their annual base salary (six times in the case of our CEO and our Executive Chairman) within five years of becoming an executive officer or, in the case of officers serving at the time the guidelines were initially adopted, within five years of the date of adoption of the guidelines. Outstanding but unvested PSUs and unvested share options do not count towards the ownership guidelines. The ownership levels of our executive officers and directors as of April 6, 2026 are set forth in the section entitled "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i7ac9b3ff976a4b648b2cc0758578bffd_10)</u>

and Management" below. Executive Officers and directors who are not in compliance with the ownership guidelines are expected to refrain from selling our shares until they come into compliance.

**Equity Grant Timing Practices**<br>

It is the Committee's practice to award share options and establish the exercise price as described above on a predetermined schedule - typically at the close of trading on the second trading day following our quarterly or annual earnings releases - so that the timing of disclosure of any material nonpublic information does not affect the value of executive compensation.

In 2025, we did not grant any share options to a named executive officer in the period beginning four business days before the filing of a periodic report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, or the filing or furnishing of a current report on Form 8-K that discloses material nonpublic information (other than a current report on Form 8-K disclosing a material new option award grant under Item 5.02(e) of that form), and ending one business day after the filing or furnishing of such report.

**Risk Considerations in our Compensation Program**

During 2025, at the direction of our Compensation Committee, FW Cook, with the assistance of our management, conducted a review of our compensation policies and practices and presented the findings to our Compensation Committee. After consideration of the information presented, our Compensation Committee concluded that our compensation programs are designed with an appropriate balance of risk and reward in relation to our overall business strategy and do not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk-taking behavior.

In making this determination, our Compensation Committee considered our pay mix, our base salaries, and the attributes of our incentive and other variable compensation programs, including our annual bonus plan, our equity compensation plans and our sales compensation plans. We also have in place numerous business controls such as quarterly reviews of sales compensation, the Recoupment Policy and other internal business and operational approval processes.

Our Compensation Committee believes that the design of our compensation programs as outlined in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" places emphasis on long-term incentives and competitive base salaries, while a portion of the total annual compensation is tied to short-term performance in the form of an annual bonus. Our Compensation Committee concluded that the mix and design of the elements of our compensation policies and practices do not motivate imprudent risk-taking. Consequently, we are satisfied that any potential risks arising from our compensation policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

**COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT**

We have reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis. Based on that review and discussion, we have recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report.

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

We have entered into written employment agreements with each of our NEOs. These employment agreements, as generally described below, were intended to acknowledge and set forth the terms and conditions of each executive's employment with us, including each executive's duties and responsibilities, initial base salary levels, bonus and equity grant eligibility, employee benefit entitlements and severance protection. In addition, each of the employment agreements includes certain restrictive covenants, including non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disclosure and/or non-disparagement covenants, which are intended to protect our interests as well as the interests of our shareholders, affiliates, directors, officers and employees.

We do not have any employment or other individual agreements with or in respect of any NEO that provide for an excise tax gross-up payment relating to a change in control. The employment agreement with Francis Leonard, our only NEO based in the U.S., provides that, in the event that the executive's receipt of payments or distributions would subject him to the golden parachute excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, the amount of parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code will be reduced to the greatest amount payable that would not result in such tax, but only if it is determined such reduction would cause the executive to be better off, on a net after-tax basis, if such payments were so reduced than without such reduction and payment of the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code.

Each of our NEOs is subject to an employment agreement that entitles the NEO to severance benefits, as follows:

**Leonard Employment Agreements**<br>

Effective of January 1, 2024, one of our subsidiaries entered into an employment agreement with Frank Leonard pursuant to which Mr. Leonard served as our Executive Vice President and President, Novocure prior to becoming Chief Executive Officer.

The following chart sets forth the relationship between Compensation Actually Paid ("CAP") to our PEO, the average of Compensation Actually Paid to our other NEOs, and our Cumulative TSR over the five most recently completed fiscal years.

The chart below illustrates the mostly positive correlation between Compensation Actually Paid and the TSR of our Ordinary Shares and of the Nasdaq Biotechnology index over the same period. The TSR amounts in the graph assume the investment of $100 on December 31, 2020 and the reinvestment of any dividends paid. This correlation is to be expected due to the significant value equity awards have as a percentage of our NEOs' total overall compensation packages. This relationship can be seen for both our PEO and our other NEOs as a group most notably in 2021. Our PEO did not receive significant equity awards from 2020 through 2024 (see "Long-Term Incentives - 2020 Performance Awards to Executive Chairman" on page <u>[57](#id55e1cdf127a4098902466d6b9cc5215_16473)</u>).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2025 PAY RATIO**<br>

As required by SEC rules, we are disclosing the median of the annual total compensation of our employees (excluding the CEO), the annualized total compensation of our CEO for the majority of 2025, Ms. Ashley Cordova, and the ratio of these two amounts. Ms. Cordova served as our CEO through November 30, 2025.

We have estimated the median of the 2025 annual total compensation of our employees, excluding our CEO, to be $148,799. The 2025 annualized total compensation of Ms. Cordova as reported in the Summary Compensation Table and annualized as if she were CEO for the entire year, is $12,501,658. The ratio of the total compensation of our CEO to the estimated median of the annual total compensation of our employees was 84 to 1. We believe this pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules.

The following paragraphs provide important context related to our employee population and describe the methodology and the material assumptions, adjustments, and estimates that we used to calculate this ratio.

We are a global company with both operations and executives located throughout the world. As of December 31, 2025, our workforce consisted of approximately 1,605 full-time and part-time employees, including hourly employees, who worked for our parent company and consolidated subsidiaries. In determining the employee population to be used to calculate the compensation of the median employee, we included employees in all countries and also approximately 200 former employees who worked for us during the measurement period but have since left.

We included all of our full-time and part-time employees globally, but excluded our CEO. We annualized the compensation of full-time and part-time employees who were hired during the measurement period but did not work for us for the entire period. Earnings of our employees outside the U.S. were converted to U.S. dollars using the currency exchange rates used for organizational planning purposes. We did not make any cost of living adjustments.

For purposes of this disclosure, the date used to identify the "median employee" was October 31, 2025. To identify the "median employee," we utilized the 2025 base salary, annual cash incentive and other cash compensation, and equity compensation for our consistently applied compensation measure because we believe that this measure reasonably reflects the annual compensation of our employees. We grant equity to most of our employee population, so including equity compensation is representative of our employee population.

Using this measure, we identified a "median employee" who is a full-time, salaried employee located in the United Kingdom. For 2025, the employee had an annual total compensation of $148,799, converted from GBP to USD and also calculated in accordance with the Summary Compensation Table disclosure rules and comprised of base salary, a cash bonus and the grant date fair value of equity compensation.

The SEC's rules for identifying the median of the annual total compensation of our employees and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee's annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. As a result, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to our pay ratio, as other companies have offices in different countries, have different employee populations and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their pay ratios.

**DELINQUENT SECTION 16(a) REPORTS**

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Ordinary Shares and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations that no other reports were required, during the year ended December 31, 2025, all officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners required to meet Section 16(a) filing requirements filed all such reports on a timely basis.

**ADDITIONAL INFORMATION**

**Householding of Proxy Materials**

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (*e.g*., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement and annual report addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as "householding," potentially means extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies.

Once you have received notice from the Company or your broker that it will be "householding" communications to your address, "householding" will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you notify the Company or your broker that you no longer wish to participate in "householding."

If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in "householding" and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report, you may notify your broker or direct your written request to: Investor Relations, NovoCure Limited, at 1550 Liberty Ridge Drive, Suite 115, Wayne, Pennsylvania, 19087, USA. Shareholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement and annual report at their address and would like to request "householding" of their communications should contact their broker. In addition, the Company will promptly deliver, upon written or oral request to the address or telephone number above, a separate copy of the proxy statement and annual report to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the documents was delivered.

**Presentation of Accounts**

Under Jersey law, the directors are required to present the accounts of the company and the reports of the directors and auditors before the shareholders at a general meeting. Therefore, our accounts for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 will be presented to the shareholders at the Annual Meeting.

**Shareholder Proposals and Nominations for the 2027 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders**<br>

To be considered for inclusion in our proxy materials for the 2027 annual general meeting of shareholders pursuant to the SEC's Rule 14a-8, shareholder proposals must be submitted in writing by December 21, 2026 to our company secretary at Second Floor, No. 4 The Forum, Grenville Street, St. Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands JE2 4UF. Otherwise, if you wish to submit a proposal to be considered at the 2027 annual general meeting of shareholders or nominate a director for election at such meeting, you must submit notice to NovoCure's company secretary at the address above between February 2, 2027 and March 6, 2027. You are also advised to review our Articles, which contain additional requirements related to our advance notice procedures. A copy of our Articles may be obtained by accessing our filings on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

To the extent permitted by applicable law and applicable exchange rules, the Committee may(i) delegate to a committee of one or more directors of the Company any of the authority of the Committee under the Plan, including the right to grant, cancel or suspend Awards and (ii) authorize one or more executive officers to do one or more of the following with respect to individuals who are not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act (A) designate Eligible Employees and Consultants to be recipients of Awards and (B) determine the number of shares subject to such Awards to be received by such Eligible Employees and Consultants; provided that (x) any resolution of the Committee authorizing such officer(s) must specify the total number of Ordinary Shares subject to Awards that such officer(s) may so award and (y) the Committee may not authorize any officer to designate himself or herself as the recipient of an Award.

&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;(b)The Committee may employ such legal counsel, consultants and agents as it may deem desirable for the administration of this Plan and may rely upon any opinion received from any such counsel or consultant and any computation received from any such consultant or agent. Expenses incurred by the Committee or the Board in the engagement of any such counsel, consultant or agent shall be paid by the Company. The Committee, its members and any person designated pursuant to subsection (a) above shall not be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to this Plan. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, no employee of the Company or any Affiliate or member or former member of the Committee or of the Board shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to this Plan or any Award granted under it.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Indemnification</u>**. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and the Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association of the Company, and to the extent not covered by insurance directly insuring such person, each officer or employee of the Company or any Affiliate and member or former member of the Committee or the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against any cost or expense (including reasonable fees of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Committee) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the approval of the Committee), and advanced amounts necessary to pay the foregoing at the earliest time and to the fullest extent permitted, arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the administration of this Plan, except to the extent arising out of such employee's, officer's, member's or former member's own fraud or bad faith. Such indemnification shall be in addition to any rights of indemnification the

------

employees, officers, directors or members or former officers, directors or members may have under applicable law or under the Memorandum of Association or Articles of Association of the Company or any Affiliate, any contractual indemnification obligations or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything else herein, this indemnification will not create or imply any right for indemnification by the Company against the loss of any erroneously awarded compensation pursuant to any clawback policy maintained by the Company or an Affiliate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>3.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Limitation on Vesting For Awards. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary including but not limited to this Section 3.8, share-settled Awards granted under the Plan shall not vest more quickly than annually beginning on the Award grant date, excluding, for this purpose, any Awards to Non-Employee Directors that vest on the earlier of the one year anniversary of the date of grant or the next annual general meeting of shareholders (provided that such vesting period may not be less than 50 weeks after grant); provided, that, the Company may grant share-settled Awards without regard to the foregoing minimum vesting requirement with respect to a maximum of five percent (5%) of the available share reserve authorized for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 4.1 (subject to adjustment under Section 4.2); and, provided further, for the avoidance of doubt, that the foregoing restriction does not apply to the Committee's discretion to provide for accelerated exercisability or vesting of any Award, including in cases of retirement, workforce reduction, death, disability or a Change in Control, in the terms of the Award or otherwise.</u>**

**ARTICLE IV**

**SHARE LIMITATION**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Shares</u>**.

&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;(a)<u>General Limitations</u>. The maximum aggregate number of Ordinary Shares that may be issued or used for reference purposes or with respect to which Awards may be granted under this Plan, other than Substitute Awards, shall (subject to adjustment pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 4.2) be equal to **<u>18</u>**,000,000 shares, less one share for every one share granted under the Prior Plan after April 2, 2024 and prior to the Effective Date, any of which may be granted as Incentive Share Options. After the Effective Date, no awards may be granted under the Prior Plan, but such Prior Plan shall remain outstanding with respect to awards granted under the Prior Plan prior to the Effective Date. The number of Ordinary Shares that remain available for future grants under the Plan shall be reduced by the sum of the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares which become subject to outstanding Awards, other than Substitute Awards. Shares issued under this Plan may be either authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares held in or acquired for the treasury of the Company, or both.

&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;(b)If, other than with respect to Substitute Awards, (i) any Ordinary Shares subject to an Award are forfeited, an Award expires or otherwise terminates without issuance of Ordinary Shares, or an Award is settled for cash (in whole or in part) or otherwise does not result in the issuance of all or a portion of the Ordinary Shares subject to such Award, such Ordinary Shares shall, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration, termination, cash settlement or non-issuance, be added to the Ordinary Shares available for grant under the Plan or (ii) after April 2, 2024 any Ordinary Shares subject to an award under the Prior Plan are forfeited, an award under the Prior Plan expires or otherwise terminates without issuance of such Ordinary

------

Shares, or an award under any Prior Plan is settled for cash (in whole or in part), or otherwise does not result in the issuance of all or a portion of the Ordinary Shares subject to such award, then in each such case the Ordinary Shares subject to the Award or award under the Prior Plan shall, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration, termination, cash settlement or non-issuance, be added to the Ordinary Shares available for grant under the Plan on a one-for-one basis.

In the event that (i) any Award granted hereunder (other than a Substitute Award) is exercised through the tendering of shares (either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of shares by the Company, or (ii) withholding tax liabilities arising from such Award (other than a Substitute Award) are satisfied by the tendering of shares (either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of shares by the Company, then in each such case the shares so tendered or withheld shall be added to the shares available for grant under the Plan on a one-for-one basis. In the event that after April 2, 2024 (i) any award the Prior Plan is exercised through the tendering of shares (either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of shares by the Company, or (ii) withholding tax liabilities arising from such awards are satisfied by the tendering of shares (either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of shares by the Company, then in each such case the shares so tendered or withheld shall be added to the shares available for grant under the Plan on a one-for-one basis.

&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;(c)<u>Individual Participant Limitations for Nonemployee Directors</u>. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the aggregate grant date fair value (computed as of the date of grant in accordance with applicable financial accounting rules) of all Awards granted to any Non-Employee Director during any single calendar year, plus the total cash compensation paid to such director for services rendered for such calendar year, shall not exceed $750, 0000, or $1,500, 0000 for the first year providing such services; provided, however, that the limitation described in this Section shall be determined without regard to amounts paid to a non-employee director during any period in which such individual was an employee or consultant (other than grants of awards paid for service in their capacity as a non-employee director), and any severance and other payments such as consulting fees paid to a non-employee director for such director's prior or current service to the Company or any Subsidiary other than serving as a director shall not be taken into account in applying the limit provided above. For the avoidance of doubt, any compensation that is deferred shall be counted toward this limit for the year in which it was first earned, and not when paid or settled if later.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Changes</u>**.

&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;(a)The existence of this Plan and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Board or the shareholders of the Company to make or authorize (i) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company's capital structure or its business, (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company or any Affiliate, (iii) any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference shares ahead of or <u>affecting</u> the Ordinary Shares, (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any Affiliate, (v) any sale or transfer of all or part of the assets or business of the Company or any Affiliate, (vi) any Acquisition Event or (vii) any other corporate act or proceeding.

&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;(b)Subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(d), if there shall occur any such change in the capital structure or business of the Company by reason of any share split, reverse share split, share dividend, combination or reclassification of shares that may be issued under the Plan, any recapitalization, any merger, any consolidation, any spin off, any reorganization or any partial or complete liquidation, issuance of rights or warrants to purchase any Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into Ordinary Shares, any sale or transfer of all or part of the Company's assets or business, or any other corporate transaction or event that would be considered an "equity restructuring" within the meaning of FASB ASC Topic 718 (each, a "**<u>Section 4.2 Event</u>**"), then (i) the aggregate number and/or kind of shares that thereafter may be issued under the Plan, (ii) the number and/or kind of shares or other property (including cash) to be issued upon exercise of an outstanding Award or subject to other outstanding Awards granted under the Plan, and/or (iii) the purchase price thereof, shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee as the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, to prevent substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, Participants under the Plan. In connection with any Section 4.2 Event, the Committee may provide for the cancellation of any outstanding Awards and payment in cash or other property in exchange therefore. In addition, subject to Section 4.2(d), if there shall occur any change in the capital structure or the business of the Company that is not a Section 4.2 Event (an "**<u>Other Extraordinary Event</u>**"), then the Committee may adjust any Award and make such other adjustments to the Plan as described in subsections (i) through (iv) above. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be consistent with the applicable Section 4.2 Event or the applicable Other Extraordinary Event, as the case may be, and shall be executed in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate to prevent substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, Participants under the Plan. Any such adjustment determined by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Company and all Participants and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly provided in this Section 4.2 or in the applicable Award agreement, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any Section 4.2 Event or any Other Extraordinary Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any adjustments made pursuant to Section 4.2 to Awards that are considered "non-qualified deferred compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code shall be made in a manner intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; and (ii) any adjustments made pursuant to Section 4.2 to Awards that are not considered "non-qualified deferred compensation" subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made in a manner intended to ensure that after such adjustment, the Awards either (A) continue not to be subject to Section 409A of the Code or (B) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

&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;(c)Notice of any adjustment shall be given by the Committee to each Participant whose Award has been adjusted and such adjustment (whether or not such notice is given) shall be effective and binding for all purposes of this Plan.

&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;(d)In the event of a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity or in the event of any transaction that results in the acquisition of substantially all of the Company's outstanding Ordinary Shares by a single person or entity or by a group of persons and/or entities acting in concert, or in the event of

------

the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company's assets (all of the foregoing being referred to as an "**<u>Acquisition Event</u>**"), then the Committee may terminate all outstanding and unexercised Share Options, or any Other Share-Based Award that is an Appreciation Award, effective as of the date of the Acquisition Event, by delivering notice of termination to each Participant at least 20 days prior to the date of consummation of the Acquisition Event, in which case during the period from the date on which such notice of termination is delivered to the consummation of the Acquisition Event, each such Participant shall have the right to exercise in full all of their Awards that are then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercisability otherwise contained in the Award agreements), but any such exercise shall be contingent on the occurrence of the Acquisition Event, and, provided that, if the Acquisition Event does not take place within a specified period after giving such notice for any reason whatsoever, the notice and exercise pursuant thereto shall be null and void and the applicable provisions of Section 4.2(b) and Article X shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of an Acquisition Event, the Committee may terminate any Appreciation Award for which the exercise price is equal to or exceeds the Fair Market Value without payment of consideration therefore. If an Acquisition Event occurs but the Committee does not terminate the outstanding Awards pursuant to this Section 4.2(d), then the provisions of Section 4.2(b) and Article X shall apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Minimum Purchase Price</u>**. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if authorized but previously unissued Ordinary Shares are issued under this Plan, such shares shall not be issued for a consideration that is less than as permitted under applicable law.

**ARTICLE V**

**ELIGIBILITY**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>General Eligibility</u>**. All Eligible Employees, Consultants, Non-Employee Directors and, subject to Section 5.3 below, prospective employees and prospective consultants of the Company and its Affiliates, are eligible to be granted Awards. Eligibility for the grant of Awards and actual participation in this Plan shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Award under which a Participant may receive Ordinary Shares may be granted under this Plan to an Eligible Employee, Consultant or Non-Employee Director of any Affiliate if such Ordinary Shares do not constitute "service recipient stock" for purposes of Section 409A of the Code with respect to such Eligible Employee, Consultant or Non-Employee Director unless such Award is structured in a manner intended to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Incentive Share Options</u>**. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, only Eligible Employees of the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Parent (if any) are eligible to be granted Incentive Share Options under this Plan. Eligibility for the grant of an Incentive Share Option and actual participation in this Plan shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>General Requirement</u>**. The grant, vesting and exercise of Awards granted to a prospective employee or prospective consultant of the Company and its Affiliates are conditioned upon such Person actually becoming an Eligible Employee or Consultant. Awards may be awarded in consideration for past services actually rendered to the Company or an Affiliate for its benefit; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that no Award may be granted to an Eligible Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director unless the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the Award will comply with applicable laws, including the securities laws of all relevant jurisdictions (and, in the case of an Award to be made to a new Eligible

------

Employee or Consultant who has not performed prior services for the Company, the Company may require payment for the Ordinary Shares by cash or check to the extent required or deemed advisable by the Committee, in its sole discretion, in order to ensure proper issuance of the shares in compliance with applicable law).

**ARTICLE VI**

**SHARE OPTIONS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Options</u>**. Share Options may be granted alone or in addition to other Awards granted under this Plan. Each Share Option granted under this Plan shall be of one of two types: (a) an Incentive Share Option or (b) a Non-Qualified Share Option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Grants</u>**. The Committee shall have the authority to grant to any Eligible Employee one or more Incentive Share Options, Non-Qualified Share Options, or both types of Share Options. The Committee shall have the authority to grant any Consultant or Non-Employee Director one or more Non-Qualified Share Options. To the extent that any Share Option does not qualify as an Incentive Share Option (whether because of its provisions or the time or manner of its exercise or otherwise), such Share Option or the portion thereof which does not qualify shall constitute a separate Non-Qualified Share Option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Incentive Share Options</u>**. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no term of this Plan relating to Incentive Share Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be so exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Terms of Options</u>**. Share Options granted under this Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall be in such form and contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable:

&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;(a)<u>Exercise Price</u>. The exercise price per Ordinary Share subject to a Share Option shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion at the time of grant, provided that the per share exercise price of a Share Option shall not be less than 100% (or, in the case of an Incentive Share Option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder, 110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Ordinary Shares at the time of grant.

&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;(b)<u>Share Option Term</u>. The term of each Share Option shall be fixed by the Committee, provided that no Share Option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date the Option is granted; and provided further that the term of an Incentive Share Option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder shall not exceed five years.

&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;(c)<u>Exercisability</u>. Share Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at grant. If the Committee provides that any Share Option is exercisable subject to certain limitations (including, without limitation, that such Share Option is exercisable only in installments or within certain time periods), the Committee may waive such limitations on the exercisability at any time at or after grant in whole or in part (including, without limitation, waiver of the installment exercise provisions or acceleration of the time at which such Share Option may be exercised), based on such factors, if any, as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion.

------

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at grant, the Share Option agreement shall provide that (A) in the event the Participant engages in Detrimental Activity prior to any exercise of the Share Option, all Share Options (whether vested or unvested) held by the Participant shall thereupon terminate and expire, (B) as a condition of the exercise of a Share Option, the Participant shall be required to certify (or shall be deemed to have certified) at the time of exercise in a manner acceptable to the Company that the Participant is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and that the Participant has not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, any Detrimental Activity, and (C) in the event the Participant engages in Detrimental Activity during the one-year period commencing on the date the Share Option is exercised, the Company shall be entitled to recover from the Participant, at any time within one year after such Detrimental Activity, and the Participant shall pay over to the Company, the Ordinary Shares received from such exercise, or, if such Ordinary Shares have been transferred, an amount equal to Fair Market Value of such Ordinary Shares on the date of such exercise, or such other appropriate lesser amount as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion. The foregoing provisions described in subsections (A), (B) and (C) shall cease to apply upon a Change in Control.

&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;(d)<u>Method of Exercise</u>. Subject to whatever installment exercise and waiting period provisions apply under subsection (c) above, to the extent vested, Share Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Share Option term, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company (or its designee) specifying the number of Ordinary Shares to be purchased. Such notice shall be in a form acceptable to the Company and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price as follows: (i) in cash or by check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company; (ii) solely to the extent permitted by applicable law, if the Ordinary Shares are traded on a national securities exchange or quoted on a national quotation system sponsored by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and the Committee authorizes, through a procedure whereby the Participant delivers irrevocable instructions to a broker reasonably acceptable to the Committee to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the purchase price; or (iii) on such other terms and conditions as may be acceptable to the Committee (including, without limitation, the relinquishment of Share Options or by payment in full or in part in the form of Ordinary Shares owned by the Participant (for which the Participant has good title free and clear of any liens and encumbrances) based on the Fair Market Value of the Ordinary Shares on the payment date as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion). No Ordinary Shares shall be issued until payment therefor, as provided herein, has been made or provided for. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may not use the cash proceeds it receives from Share Option exercises to repurchase Ordinary Shares on the open market for reuse under the Plan.

&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;(e)<u>Non-Transferability of Options</u>. No Share Option shall be Transferable by the Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all Share Options shall be exercisable, during the Participant's lifetime, only by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, at the time of grant, or if no rights of the Participant are substantially impaired, thereafter, that a Non-Qualified Share Option that is otherwise not Transferable pursuant to this Section is Transferable to a Family

------

Member in whole or in part and in such circumstances, and under such conditions, as specified by the Committee. A Non-Qualified Share Option that is Transferred to a Family Member pursuant to the preceding sentence (i) may not be subsequently Transferred otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and (ii) remains subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable Award agreement. Any Ordinary Shares acquired upon the exercise of a Non-Qualified Share Option by a permissible transferee of a Non-Qualified Share Option or a permissible transferee pursuant to a Transfer after the exercise of the Non-Qualified Share Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable Award agreement.

&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;(f)<u>Termination by Death or Disability</u>. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at the time of grant in an Award agreement, or if no rights of the Participant are substantially impaired, thereafter, if Participant's Termination is by reason of death or Disability, all Share Options that are held by such Participant that are vested and exercisable at the time of the Participant's Termination may be exercised by the Participant (or, in the case of death or incapacity, by the legal representative of the Participant or the Participant's estate) at any time within a period of one year from the date of such Termination, but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated term of such Share Options.

&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;(g)<u>Involuntary Termination Without Cause or Voluntary Termination</u>. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at grant in an Award agreement, or if no rights of the Participant are substantially impaired, thereafter, if a Participant's Termination is by involuntary termination without Cause or if a Participant's Termination is voluntary (other than a voluntary termination described in subsection (h)(y) below), all Share Options that are held by such Participant that are vested and exercisable at the time of the Participant's Termination may be exercised by the Participant at any time within a period of 90 days from the date of such Termination, but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated term of such Share Options.

&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;(h)<u>Termination for Cause</u>. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at grant in an Award agreement, or if no rights of the Participant are substantially impaired, thereafter, if a Participant's Termination (x) is for Cause or (y) is a voluntary Termination (as provided in subsection (g) above) after the occurrence of an event that would be grounds for a Termination for Cause, all Share Options, whether vested or not vested, that are held by such Participant shall thereupon terminate and expire as of the date of such Termination.

&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;(i)<u>Unvested Share Options</u>. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at grant in an Award agreement, or if no rights of the Participant are substantially impaired, thereafter, Share Options that are not vested as of the date of a Participant's Termination for any reason shall terminate and expire as of the date of such Termination.

&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;(j)<u>Incentive Share Option Limitations</u>. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the Ordinary Shares with respect to which Incentive Share Options are exercisable for the first time by an Eligible Employee during any calendar year under this Plan and/or any other share option plan of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Parent exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Share Options. In addition, if an Eligible

------

Employee does not remain employed by the Company, any Subsidiary or any Parent at all times from the time an Incentive Share Option is granted until three months prior to the date of exercise thereof (or such other period as required by applicable law), such Share Option shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Share Option. Should any provision of this Plan not be necessary in order for the Share Options to qualify as Incentive Share Options, or should any additional provisions be required, the Committee may amend this Plan accordingly, without the necessity of obtaining the approval of the shareholders of the Company.

&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;(k)<u>Form, Modification, and Prohibition on Repricing Share Options</u>. Subject to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of this Plan, Share Options shall be evidenced by such form of agreement or grant as is approved by the Committee, and the Committee may, subject to Section 11.1, modify or extend Share Options granted under this Plan (provided that (x) the rights of a Participant are not substantially impaired or adversely affected without their consent and (y) such action does not subject the Share Options to Section 409A of the Code or otherwise extend the Share Option beyond its stated term). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and except as permitted pursuant to Section 4.2, an outstanding Option or Appreciation Award may not be modified to reduce the exercise or base price thereof nor may an Option or Appreciation Award be surrendered (when the option or exercise price per share exceeds the Fair Market Value of one share) in exchange for cash or another Award (other than in connection with a Change in Control), unless such action is approved by the shareholders of the Company.

&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;(l)<u>Other Terms and Conditions</u>.

The Company shall not grant dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to any Share Option award.

------

been transferred, an amount equal to Fair Market Value of such Ordinary Shares on the date of such vesting, or such other appropriate lesser amount as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion. The foregoing provision shall cease to apply upon a Change in Control.

The Committee may condition the grant or vesting of Restricted Shares upon the attainment of specified performance criteria (including, the Performance Goals specified in <u>Exhibit A</u> attached hereto) or such other factors as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion.

The Committee may require, in its sole discretion, that Awards of Restricted Shares must be accepted within a period of 60 days after the grant date (or such shorter period as the Committee may specify at grant), by executing a Restricted Share Award agreement and by paying the purchase price of Restricted Shares (if any) the Committee has designated thereunder.

&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;(c)<u>Legend</u>. Each Participant receiving Restricted Shares shall be issued a share certificate in respect of such Restricted Shares, unless the Committee elects to use another system, such as book entries by the transfer agent, as evidencing ownership of Restricted Shares. Such certificate shall be registered in the name of such Participant, and shall, in addition to such legends required by applicable securities laws, bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Award, substantially in the following form:

determine in its sole discretion, the Committee may condition the grant or provide for the lapse of such restrictions in installments in whole or in part, or may accelerate the vesting of all or any part of any Restricted Share Award and/or waive the deferral limitations for all or any part of any Restricted Share Award.

&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;(b)<u>Performance Goals, Formulae or Standards</u>. If the grant of Restricted Shares or the lapse of restrictions is based on the attainment of performance goals, the Committee shall establish the performance goals and the applicable vesting percentage of the Restricted Shares applicable to each Participant or class of Participants. Such performance goals may incorporate (provisions for disregarding (or adjusting for) changes in accounting methods, corporate transactions (including, without limitation, dispositions and acquisitions) and other similar type events or circumstances.

&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;(d)<u>Termination</u>. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at grant or, if no rights of the Participant are substantially impaired, thereafter, subject to the applicable provisions of the Restricted Share Award agreement and this Plan, upon a Participant's Termination for any reason during the relevant Restriction Period, all Restricted Shares still subject to restriction will vest or be forfeited in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Committee at grant or thereafter.

&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;(e)<u>Detrimental Activity</u>.

**PERFORMANCE-BASED CASH AWARDS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Performance-Based Cash Awards</u>**. Performance-Based Cash Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem with other Awards granted under this Plan. Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Committee shall have authority to determine, in its sole discretion, the Eligible Employees and Consultants to whom, and the time or times at which, Performance-Based Cash Awards

------

shall be made, the dollar amount to be awarded pursuant to such Performance-Based Cash Award, and all other conditions for the payment of the Performance-Based Cash Award. The Committee may also provide for the payment of a dollar amount under a Performance-Based Cash Award upon the completion of a specified Performance Period.

The Committee may condition the right to payment of any Performance-Based Cash Award upon the attainment of specified performance criteria (including, the Performance Goals specified in <u>Exhibit A</u> attached hereto).

Subject to Section 9.2(c), for any Participant the Committee may specify a targeted Performance-Based Cash Award for a Performance Period (each an "**<u>Individual Target Award</u>**"). An Individual Target Award may be expressed as a fixed dollar amount, a percentage of the Participant's base pay, as a percentage of a bonus pool funded by a formula as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion based on achievement of performance criteria, or an amount determined pursuant to an objective formula or standard. The Committee's establishment of an Individual Target Award for a Participant for a Performance Period shall not imply or require that the same level or any Individual Target Award be established for the Participant for any subsequent Performance Period or for or any other Participant for that Performance Period or any subsequent Performance Period. At the time the performance criteria are established (as provided in Section 9.2(c)), the Committee may prescribe a formula to be used to determine the maximum and minimum percentages (which may be greater or less than one-hundred percent (100%), as applicable) of an Individual Target Award that may be earned or payable based upon the degree of attainment of the performance criteria during the Performance Period. Notwithstanding anything else herein, unless otherwise specified by the Committee with respect to an Individual Target Award, the Committee may elect to pay a Participant an amount that is less or more than the Participant's Individual Target Award (or attained percentages thereof) regardless of the degree of attainment of the performance criteria; provided that, except as otherwise specified by the Committee with respect to an Individual Target Award, no discretion to reduce a Performance-Based Cash Award earned based on achievement of the applicable performance criteria shall be permitted for any Performance Period in which a Change in Control occurs, or during such Performance Period with regard to the prior Performance Periods if the Performance-Based Cash Awards for the prior Performance Periods have not been paid by the time of the Change in Control, with regard to individuals who were Participants at the time of the Change in Control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Terms and Conditions</u>**. Performance-Based Cash Awards made pursuant to this Article IX shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

&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;(a)<u>Committee Certification</u>. At the expiration of the applicable Performance Period, the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, the extent to which the performance criteria are achieved and, if applicable, the percentage of the Participant's Individual Target Award that has been vested and earned.

&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;(b)<u>Performance Goals, Formulae or Standards</u>. The Committee shall establish the performance criteria for the earning of Performance-Based Cash Awards based on a Performance Period applicable to each Participant or class of Participants. Such performance criteria may incorporate provisions for disregarding (or adjusting for) changes in accounting methods, corporate transactions (including, without limitation, dispositions and acquisitions) and other similar type events or circumstances.

&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;(c)<u>Payment</u>. Following the Committee's determination, in its sole discretion, and certification in accordance with subsection (a) above, the Performance-Based Cash Award amount shall be paid to the Eligible Employee or their legal representative,

------

in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Performance-Based Cash Award agreement, but in no event, except as provided in the next sentence, shall such amount be paid by no later than the later of: (i) March 15 of the year following the year in which the applicable Performance Period ends; or (ii) two and one-half (2½) months after the expiration of the fiscal year of the Company in which the applicable Performance Period ends (or, if later, the year in which the Award is earned). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may place such conditions on the payment of the payment of all or any portion of any Performance-Based Cash Award as the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, and prior to the beginning of a Performance Period the Committee may (x) provide that the payment of all or any portion of any Performance-Based Cash Award shall be deferred and (y) permit a Participant to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of any Performance-Based Cash Award. To the extent applicable, any deferral under this Section 9.2(c) shall be made in a manner intended to comply with or be exempt from the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may award an amount less or more than the amount which otherwise would be payable pursuant to the Performance-Based Cash Award under the applicable Award agreement based on the level of attainment of the performance goals actually achieved.

&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;(d)<u>Termination</u>. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, no Performance-Based Cash Award or pro rata portion thereof shall be payable to any Participant who incurs a Termination prior to the date such Performance-Based Cash Award is paid.

&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;(a)Awards, whether or not then vested, may be continued, assumed, have new rights substituted therefor or be treated in accordance with Section 4.2(d) hereof, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, and restrictions to which any Restricted Shares or any other Award granted prior to the Change in Control are subject shall not lapse upon a Change in Control and the Restricted Shares or other Award shall, where appropriate, receive the same distribution as other Ordinary Shares on such terms as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; <u>provided</u> that, the Committee may decide to award additional Restricted Shares or other Awards in lieu of any cash distribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of Incentive Share Options, any assumed or substituted Share Option shall be structured in a manner intended to comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1 (and any amendments thereto).

&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;(b)The Committee may provide for the purchase of any Awards by the Company or an Affiliate for an amount of cash or other property equal to the Change in Control

&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;(c)The Committee may provide for the cancellation of any Appreciation Awards without payment if the Change in Control Price per Ordinary Share covered by such Appreciation Awards is less than the exercise price per share of such Appreciation Awards.

&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;(d)Notwithstanding anything else herein, the Committee may provide for accelerated vesting or lapse of restrictions, of an Award at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Change in Control</u>**. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, in the applicable Award agreement or other written agreement approved by the Committee, and subject to Section 13.14(a)(ii), a "<u>Change in Control</u>" shall be deemed to occur if (i) any "person" as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than the Company, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under any employee benefit plan of the Company, or any company owned, directly or indirectly, by the shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of Ordinary Shares), is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities; (ii) at any time, individuals who as of the Effective Date constitute the Board and any new director (other than a director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in paragraph (i), (iii), or (iv) of this section or a director initially elected or nominated as a director of the Company as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to directors or as a result of any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies by or on behalf of any person other than the Board) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company's shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (the "<u>Required Approval</u>") of the directors then still in office who either were directors as of the Effective Date or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; (iii) a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no "person" (other than those covered by the exceptions in (i) above) acquires more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities shall not constitute a Change in Control of the Company; or (iv) the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or the consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets (other than (x) the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a person or persons who beneficially own, directly or indirectly, at least 50% or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Company at the time of the sale or (y) pursuant to a spinoff type transaction, directly or indirectly, of such assets to the shareholders of the Company).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Unfunded Status of Plan</u>**. This Plan is an "unfunded" plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments as to which a Participant has a fixed and vested interest but which are not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.

**ARTICLE XIII** 

**GENERAL PROVISIONS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Legend</u>**. The Committee may require each person receiving Ordinary Shares pursuant to a Share Option or other Award granted under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that the Participant is acquiring the shares without a view to distribution thereof and such other securities law related representations as the Committee shall request. In addition to any legend required by this Plan, the certificates and/or book entry accounts for such shares may include any legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on Transfer.

All certificates and/or book entry accounts for Ordinary Shares delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the

------

rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Ordinary Shares are then listed or any national automated quotation system on which the Ordinary Shares are then quoted, any applicable national 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. If necessary or advisable in order to prevent a violation of applicable securities laws or to avoid the imposition of public company reporting requirements, then, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any share-settled Awards under the Plan shall be paid in cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Ordinary Shares otherwise payable in connection with the settlement of such Awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Other Plans</u>**. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to shareholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>No Right to Employment/Directorship/Consultancy</u>**. Neither this Plan nor the grant of any Option or other Award hereunder shall give any Participant or other employee, Consultant or Non-Employee Director any right with respect to continuance of employment, consultancy or directorship by the Company or any Affiliate, nor shall they be a limitation in any way on the right of the Company or any Affiliate by which an employee is employed or a Consultant or Non-Employee Director is retained to terminate their employment, consultancy or directorship at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Withholding of Taxes</u>**. The Company and its Affiliates, if applicable, shall have the right to deduct from any payment to be made pursuant to this Plan, or to otherwise require, prior to the issuance or delivery of any Ordinary Shares or the payment of any cash hereunder, payment by the Participant of, any national, state or local taxes required by law to be withheld. Upon vesting of Restricted Shares (or other Award that is taxable upon vesting), or upon making an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, a Participant shall pay all required withholding to the Company. Any statutorily required withholding obligation (or up to such other withholding rate that will not cause an adverse accounting consequence or cost) with regard to any Participant may be satisfied, subject to the consent of the Committee, by reducing the number of Ordinary Shares otherwise deliverable or by delivering Ordinary Shares already owned. Any fraction of an Ordinary Share required to satisfy such tax obligations shall be disregarded and the amount due shall be paid instead in cash by the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>No Assignment of Benefits</u>**. No Award or other benefit payable under this Plan shall, except as otherwise specifically provided by law or permitted by the Committee, be Transferable in any manner, and any attempt to Transfer any such benefit shall be void, and any such benefit shall not in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of any person who shall be entitled to such benefit, nor shall it be subject to attachment or legal process for or against such person.
