The Directors consider that each of the proposed resolutions set out in the Notice is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and most likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of members as a whole. Accordingly, my fellow Directors and I unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favor of those resolutions, as we each intend to do in respect of our own beneficial shareholdings in the Company (save in respect of
on Thursday, May 2, 2024. Shareholders are also encouraged to check the Company's website
those resolutions in which we are interested).
To authorize the Company and any UK registered company which is or becomes a subsidiary of the Company during the period to which this resolution relates and in accordance with sections 366 and 367 of the Companies Act 2006 to:
a. make political donations to political parties or independent election candidates, or both, up to a total aggregate amount of £50,000;
as such terms are defined in Part 14 of the Companies Act 2006 during the period beginning on the date of the passing of this resolution and ending on the date of the Company's AGM to be held in 2025, provided that the aggregate expenditure under paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) shall not exceed £50,000 in total. The authorized sum referred to in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above may be comprised of one or more amounts in different currencies which, for the purposes of calculating the said sum, shall be converted into Pounds Sterling at the exchange rate published in the London edition of the Financial Times on the day on which the relevant donation is made or expenditure incurred or, if earlier, on the day on which the Company enters into any contract or undertaking in relation to the same (or, if the relevant day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter).
a. the Indivior 2024 Savings-Related Share Option Plan (the '2024 SAYE'), the principal terms of which are summarized in the Appendix to this Notice on pages 19 to 20, and a copy of the rules of which is produced to the meeting and initialled by the Chair for the purposes of identification, be approved;
subject to any limits or restrictions or arrangements the Directors may impose which they consider necessary or appropriate to deal with treasury shares, fractional entitlements, record dates, legal, regulatory, or practical problems in, or laws of, any territory, the requirements of any stock exchange or by virtue of shares being represented by depositary receipts, or any other matter, such authority to apply until the close of business on June 30, 2025 or, if earlier, until the conclusion of the Company's AGM to be held in 2025, but during this period the Company may make offers, and enter into agreements, which would, or might, require equity securities to be allotted and rights to subscribe for, or to convert securities into, shares in the Company to be granted after the authority ends and the Directors may allot equity securities and grant rights under any such offer or agreement as if the authority had not expired.
and so that the Directors may impose any limits or restrictions and make any arrangements which they consider necessary or appropriate to deal with treasury shares, fractional entitlements, record dates, legal, regulatory or practical problems in, or under the laws of, any territory or any other matter arising in connection with such offer; and
by the Directors to be of a kind contemplated by paragraph 3 of section 2B of the Statement of Principles on Disapplying Pre-Emption Rights most recently published by the Pre-Emption Group prior to the date of the notice of the meeting; and
c. applies in relation to a sale of shares which is an allotment of equity securities by virtue of section 560(3) of the Companies Act 2006 as if in the first paragraph of this resolution the words 'pursuant to the authority conferred by Resolution 19' were omitted.
By order of the Board
March 28, 2024
Indivior PLC, 234 Bath Road, Slough, Berkshire, SL1 4EE Company registration number: 09237894
Resolutions 1 to 19 are to be proposed as Ordinary Resolutions. This means that for each of those resolutions to be passed, more than half of the total voting rights of members who vote must be in favor of the resolution. Resolutions 20 to 23 are to be proposed as Special Resolutions. This means that for each of those resolutions to be passed, not less than three-quarters of the total voting rights of members who vote must be in favor of the resolution. An explanation for each resolution is set out below.
Resolution 1 asks shareholders to receive the Company's reports and accounts for the financial year which ended on December 31, 2023. These include both the consolidated accounts and Indivior's stand-alone accounts, together with the strategic report and the other reports of the Directors and of the Auditor. These are all contained in the Annual Report and Accounts 2023.
Resolution 2 seeks shareholder approval of the Directors' Remuneration Report, other than the part containing the Directors' Remuneration Policy. The vote on Resolution 2 is advisory in nature, meaning that payments and benefits made or promised to Directors would not have to be repaid or withheld should the resolution not be passed. The Directors' Remuneration Report can be found on pages 116 to 144 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2023 and gives details of the Directors' remuneration for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The Company's Auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, has audited those parts of the Directors' Remuneration Report that are required to be audited and its report can be found on pages 152 to 162 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2023.
The Companies Act 2006 requires that the Directors' Remuneration Policy must be put to shareholders for approval whenever a new policy, or an amendment to an existing approved policy, is proposed. The Directors' Remuneration Policy must in any event be put to shareholders for approval at least every three years.
The Directors' Remuneration Policy was last approved by shareholders at the 2021 AGM. The Company is therefore seeking shareholder approval of a new policy at this year's AGM. The Remuneration Committee Chair's annual statement on pages 116 to 119 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2023 details the engagement undertaken in developing the policy and the proposed Directors' Remuneration Policy can be found on pages 120 to 123 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2023. It sets out the Company's future policy on Directors' remuneration, including Directors' pay and the grant of share-based incentives. If Resolution 3 is approved, the Directors' Remuneration Policy will be effective from the
conclusion of the AGM. Resolution 3 is a binding shareholder vote and, if passed, will mean that the Company can only make remuneration payments to Directors, or payments for loss of office to Directors, in accordance with the approved policy, unless an amendment to that policy authorising the Company to make such payments has been approved by a separate shareholder resolution. If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will, if and to the extent permitted by the Companies Act 2006, continue to make payments to its Directors in accordance with the current Directors' Remuneration Policy approved at the 2021 AGM.
Resolutions 4 to 13 relate to the election and re-election of each of the Company's Directors.
The Company's Articles of Association require any person who has been appointed as a Director by the Board of Directors since the date of the Company's last AGM to retire at the next AGM following their appointment. Dr Keith Humphreys was appointed as a Director in November 2023 and, consequently, he will retire from office at the 2024 AGM and will stand for election by the Company's shareholders. The Board unanimously recommends the election of Dr Keith Humphreys by shareholders at the AGM.
The Company's Articles of Association require any Director who held office at the time of the two preceding AGMs and who did not retire at either of them to retire at the next AGM. Additionally, any Non-Executive Director who has held office for nine years or more at the date of the meeting is required to retire.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the Company's Articles, the Board has determined that all Directors shall retire from office at the 2024 AGM in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code 2018. Each of the Directors intends to submit themselves for annual re-election by shareholders.
Each of the Directors who are seeking election or re-election has been, and continues to be, an effective member of the Board and demonstrates commitment to their role and responsibilities. The Board believes that the considerable and wide-ranging experience of its Directors will continue to be invaluable to the Company.

The Company is required to appoint an auditor at each general meeting at which accounts are presented, to hold office until the end of the next meeting of that type.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ('PwC') has acted as the Company's Auditor since 2014 and, accordingly, the year ended December 31, 2023 was the tenth consecutive year of its appointment. Pursuant to current regulatory provisions, the external audit contract would ordinarily be put out to tender at least every 10 years. During the year ended December 31, 2023, Indivior management, with oversight by the Audit & Risk Committee, sought to initiate a competitive tender process for the 2024 year-end audit. Following engagement with six accounting firms, only one, the incumbent firm, submitted a proposal in response to the audit tender. The Audit & Risk Committee was therefore unable to identify first and second choice candidates for appointment in respect of its 2024 audit. Accordingly, the Group applied to the Financial Reporting Council ('FRC') for a two-year extension to PwC's appointment for the years ending December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025. The FRC approved the Group's application in August 2023. As such, the Group intends to carry out a tender process for the 2026 year-end audit. The Audit & Risk Committee concluded that a competitive tender for the 2026 year-end audit is in the best interests of the Company's shareholders as it will allow the Company sufficient time to solicit, review, respond to, and appoint the audit firm that will provide the highest quality and most effective and efficient audit.
The Audit & Risk Committee has recommended to the Board the re-appointment of the Company's existing Auditor, PwC. The Audit & Risk Committee has confirmed that its recommendation is free from third party influence and that no restrictive contractual provisions have been imposed on
S Science Committee
the Company limiting the choice of auditor. Accordingly, the Board proposes as Resolution 14 an ordinary resolution to re-appoint PwC as the Auditor.
Resolution 15 follows best practice in corporate governance by separately seeking authority for the Audit & Risk Committee to determine the Auditor's remuneration.
Resolution 16 deals with the rules on political donations and expenditure contained in the Companies Act 2006. The definition of political donations and expenditure in this context is very wide and extends to donations and expenditure incurred in relation to bodies or activities concerned with policy review, law reform and the representation of the business community. It could also include special interest groups, such as those involved with the environment even though these activities are not designed to support or influence support for a particular political party. Whilst the Company and its UK subsidiaries do not intend to incur political expenditure nor make donations to political parties, political organizations or to independent election candidates, within the normal meaning of that expression, the Directors consider that it is in the best interests of the shareholders for the Company to participate in public debate and opinion-forming on matters which affect its business. To avoid inadvertently infringing the Companies Act 2006, the Directors are seeking authority for the Company and its UK subsidiaries to make political donations and to incur political expenditure during the period from the date of the AGM in 2024 to the end of the AGM in 2025 up to an aggregate amount of £50,000.
It is worth noting, however, that the Company's US subsidiaries may make political donations as defined under UK law. Donations by the Company's US subsidiaries are not permitted to exceed \$500,000.
These resolutions seek approval to adopt new plans on substantially the same terms as the existing Indivior Long-Term Incentive Plan and Indivior Savings-Related Share Option Plan, in each case for a further ten years. The rules of the new plans have been updated where necessary for changes in legislation, best practice and market developments.
A summary of the principal terms of the new plans is set out in the Appendix on pages 18 to 20.
Resolution 19 seeks authority under the Companies Act 2006 for the Directors to allot ordinary shares in the capital of the Company. The Directors' existing allotment authority is due to expire at the 2024 AGM. The UK Investment Association's Share Capital Management Guidelines 2023 state that its members will regard as routine resolutions seeking
authority to allot shares representing up to two-thirds of the Company's issued share capital, provided that any amount in excess of one-third of the Company's issued share capital is only used to allot shares in connection with a fully preemptive offer to existing shareholders.
In light of these guidelines, the Board considers it appropriate that the Directors be granted authority to allot shares in the capital of the Company up to a maximum nominal amount of \$45,492,174 representing approximately two-thirds or 67% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at March 1, 2024 (the latest practicable date prior to publication of this document (the 'Latest Practicable Date')).
Of this amount, a nominal amount of \$22,746,087 (representing approximately one-third or 33% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital) can only be allotted in connection with a pre-emptive offer to existing shareholders (with exclusions to deal with fractional entitlements to shares and overseas shareholders to whom the offer cannot be made due to legal and practical problems). The authority will last until the close of business on June 30, 2025 or, if earlier, until the conclusion of the Company's AGM in 2025. The Directors have no present intention to allot new ordinary shares other than to fulfil the Company's obligations under its executive and employee share plans. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company held no ordinary shares in treasury.
If the Directors wish to allot shares, or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert securities into, shares, or sell treasury shares, for cash (unless pursuant to an employees' share scheme), they must first offer them to existing shareholders in proportion to their holdings. There may be occasions when the Directors need the flexibility to finance business opportunities by allotting shares without a preemptive offer to existing shareholders, and this can be done if the shareholders have first given a limited waiver of their pre-emption rights.
Resolution 20 and Resolution 21 ask shareholders to grant this limited waiver. The resolutions will be proposed as special resolutions.
Resolution 20 contains a three-part waiver. The first part is limited to the allotment of shares for cash on a pre-emptive basis to allow the Directors to make appropriate exclusions and other arrangements to resolve legal or practical problems which, for example, might arise in relation to overseas shareholders. The second part is limited to the allotment of shares for cash up to an aggregate nominal value of \$6,824,508 (which includes the sale on a non-preemptive basis of any shares held in treasury), which represents approximately 10% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at the Latest Practicable Date.
The third part applies to the allotment of shares for cash for the purposes of a follow-on offer when an allotment of shares has been made under the second waiver. It is limited to the allotment of shares having an aggregate nominal value of up to 20% of the nominal value of any shares allotted under the second waiver. The follow-on offer must be determined by the Directors to be of a kind contemplated by the Pre-Emption Group's 2022 Statement of Principles. The Directors confirm that they will follow the shareholder protections in section 2B and the expected features of a follow-on offer in paragraph 3 of section 2B of the Pre-Emption Group's 2022 Statement of Principles.
The waiver granted by Resolution 21 is in addition to the waiver granted by Resolution 20 and itself has two parts. The first part is limited to the allotment of shares for cash up to an aggregate nominal value of \$6,824,508 (which includes the sale on a non-pre-emptive basis of any shares held in treasury), which represents a further 10% (approximately) of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at the Latest Practicable Date. The first part of the waiver may only be used for an allotment of shares for cash for the purposes of financing (or refinancing, if the waiver is used within twelve months of the original transaction) a transaction which the Directors determine to be an acquisition or specified capital investment of a kind contemplated by the Pre-emption Group's 2022 Statement of Principles. The second part of the waiver applies to the allotment of shares for cash for the purposes of a follow-on offer when an allotment of shares has been made under the first part of the waiver. It is limited to the allotment of shares having an aggregate nominal value of up to 20% of the nominal value of any shares allotted under the first waiver. The follow-on offer must be determined by the Directors to be of a kind contemplated by the Pre-Emption Group's 2022 Statement of Principles. The Directors confirm that they will follow the shareholder protections in section 2B and the expected features of a follow-on offer in paragraph 3 of section 2B of the Pre-Emption Group's 2022 Statement of Principles.
If the resolutions are passed, the waivers will expire at the conclusion of the AGM in 2025 or, if earlier, the close of business on June 30, 2025.
Resolution 22 will authorize the Directors to make market purchases of the Company's own ordinary shares pursuant to sections 693 and 701 of the Companies Act 2006. The authority limits the number of ordinary shares that could be purchased up to a maximum of 13,649,017 ordinary shares (equivalent to approximately 10% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at the Latest Practicable Date) and sets a minimum and maximum price for such market purchases. This authority will expire at the close of business on June 30, 2025 or, if earlier, at the conclusion of the Company's AGM in 2025.
The Company may consider holding any of its own ordinary shares which it purchases pursuant to the authority conferred by this resolution as treasury shares. This would allow the Company to sell ordinary shares out of treasury. No dividends will be paid on any ordinary shares held in treasury and no voting rights will attach to such shares. It will also be possible for the Company to transfer shares out of treasury pursuant to an employees' share scheme. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company held no ordinary shares in treasury.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were awards and options to subscribe for 4,887,595 ordinary shares in the capital of the Company representing 3.58% of the Company's issued share capital. If the authority to purchase the Company's ordinary shares (both existing and being sought in Resolution 22) were to be exercised in full, these awards and options would represent 4.36% of the Company's issued share capital.
On November 17, 2023, the Company announced a \$100m share repurchase program, which is being executed pursuant to a similar authority granted by the Company's shareholders at its AGM held on May 4, 2023. The Directors have no present intention of exercising the authority being sought in Resolution 22 to purchase additional shares of the Company but will keep the matter under review. The Directors will use this authority to purchase shares only after careful consideration (taking into account market conditions, other investment opportunities, appropriate gearing levels and the overall financial position of the Company). Further, the Directors intend to use this authority to buy back shares only if they believe that to do so would have a positive effect on earnings per share and would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders taken as a whole.
Resolution 23 is a special resolution to allow the Company to hold general meetings, other than AGMs, on not less than 14 clear days' notice. Under the Companies Act 2006 the minimum notice period for listed company general meetings is 21 clear days unless (i) shareholders approve a shorter notice period, which cannot be less than 14 clear days and (ii) the Company offers the facility for all shareholders to vote by electronic means. The current authority will expire at the Company's AGM in 2024 and the Company would like to renew this authority.
The Board is therefore proposing Resolution 23 as a special resolution to approve 14 clear days as the minimum period of notice for all general meetings of the Company other than AGMs. The approval will be effective until the Company's next AGM in 2025. The shorter notice period would not be routinely used. The Board will consider on a case by case basis whether the use of the flexibility offered by the shorter notice period is merited, taking into account the circumstances, including whether the business of the meeting is time-sensitive and whether it is thought to be to the advantage of shareholders as a whole.

All resolutions contained in this Notice will be put to a vote on a poll. A poll reflects the number of voting rights exercisable by each member and so the Board considers it a more democratic method of voting. Poll voting is in line with practice adopted by many UK public companies. Holders of Ordinary Shares who are entitled to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company have one vote in respect of each Ordinary Share on a poll. Members and proxies attending the AGM will be asked to complete a poll card to indicate how they wish to cast their votes. These cards will be collected at the end of the meeting. The results of the poll will be published on the Company's website and announced via a Regulatory Information Service once the votes have
Each member has the right to ask questions relating to the business being dealt with at the meeting which, in accordance with section 319A of the Companies Act 2006 and subject to some exceptions, the Company must cause to be answered. Members who wish to ask questions relating to the business of the AGM can do so by attending the AGM or by sending their questions in advance of the meeting by email to [email protected]. To ensure that a response is received before the proxy appointment deadline for the AGM, members should submit their questions by midday (UK time) on Thursday, 2 May, 2024.

The Company's website will include information on the total number of issued Ordinary Shares and voting rights after the date of the publication of this Notice.
Your Form of Proxy or electronic proxy appointment must be received by the Company's Registrar, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., by no later than 12.00pm (UK time) on Tuesday, May 7, 2024 or, if the meeting is adjourned, by no later than 48 hours (excluding any part of a day that is not a UK business day) before the time of the holding of the adjourned meeting, to be valid.
Shareholders who wish to appoint more than one proxy in respect of their shareholding should contact the Company's Registrar, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., on 1 (866) 644-4127 (in the US) or 1 (781) 575-2906 (outside of the US) for additional Forms of Proxy, or you may copy the Form of Proxy provided with this document indicating on each copy the name of the proxy you wish to appoint and the number of Ordinary Shares in respect of which the proxy is appointed. All Forms of Proxy should be returned together in the same envelope to the address specified in Note 19. Where you wish to appoint more than one proxy, failure to specify the number of Ordinary Shares in respect of which each proxy is appointed or specifying more Ordinary Shares than you hold will result in the proxy appointments being invalid.
The notes on the Form of Proxy explain how to direct your proxy to vote on the resolutions or withhold their vote. A vote withheld is not a vote in law, which means that the vote will not be counted in the calculation of votes for or against the resolution. If no voting indication is given, your proxy will vote or withhold the vote at their discretion. Your proxy will vote (or withhold the vote) as they think fit in relation to any other matter which is put before the AGM.
To appoint a proxy, the enclosed Form of Proxy, and any power of attorney or other authority under which it is executed (or a duly certified copy of any such power or authority), must be completed and returned to the Company's Registrar, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. at P.O. Box 43101, Providence, RI 02940-5067, USA. A pre-paid envelope is enclosed for the return of the Form of Proxy. In the case of a member which is a company, the Form of Proxy must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an officer of the company or an attorney for the company. This must be received by no later than 12.00pm (UK time) on Tuesday, May 7, 2024 or, if the meeting is adjourned, by no later than 48 hours (excluding any part of a day that is not a UK business day) before the time of the holding of the adjourned meeting.

If a member submits more than one valid proxy appointment, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence.
Where a member has appointed a proxy using the hard-copy Form of Proxy and would like to change their instructions, the member must send another hard-copy Form of Proxy to the Computershare address specified in Note 19. Such members may not submit amended proxy instructions electronically. Before sending another hard-copy Form of Proxy, members should first contact Computershare using the contact details set out in page 21, to inform Computershare of their intention to submit another hard-copy Form of Proxy with amended proxy instructions with a view to ensuring that their amended instructions are taken into account.
Where a member has appointed a proxy electronically, and would like to change their instructions, the member must register a new proxy appointment to the InvestorVote service as specified in Note 20 above. Such members may not submit amended proxy instructions using a hard-copy Form of Proxy.
A member may revoke a hard-copy or electronic proxy instruction by informing the Company in writing by sending a signed hard-copy notice clearly stating the member's intention to revoke the proxy appointment to the Company's Registrar, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. at P.O. Box 43101, Providence, RI 02940- 5067, USA. In the case of a member that is a company, the revocation notice must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an officer of the company or an attorney for the company. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the revocation notice is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the revocation notice.
The revocation notice must be received by Computershare Trust Company, N.A. by no later than 12.00pm (UK time) on Tuesday, May 7, 2024 or, if the meeting is adjourned, by no later than 48 hours (excluding any part of a day that is not a UK business day) before the time of the holding of the adjourned meeting. If a member attempts to revoke a proxy appointment but the revocation is received after the time specified, the original proxy appointment will remain valid.
Alternatively, if Nominated Persons do not have such a right, or do not wish to exercise it, they may have a right under such an agreement to give instructions to the person holding the shares as to the exercise of voting rights. The main point of contact in terms of the investment of Nominated Persons in the Company remains the member who holds shares on their behalf (or the custodian or broker of the Nominated Person). All queries relating to the personal details or investment of Nominated Persons should be directed to the relevant member and not the Company. The only exception is where the Company expressly requests a response to communications from a Nominated Person.
For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the CREST Voting Instruction by the CREST Applications Host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the CREST Voting Instruction by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. CREST members (and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers) should note that EUI does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the transmission of CREST Voting Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST Personal Member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider, to procure that his CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a CREST Voting Instruction is transmitted by means of the CREST service by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members (and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers) are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.
The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.

The Company currently operates the Indivior Long-Term Incentive Plan (the '2014 LTIP') which is due to expire on November 5, 2024. In order for the Company to continue to reward and incentivise employees, it is proposed that the Company adopt the Indivior 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the '2024 LTIP' or 'Plan'). The following summary sets out the principal provisions of the Plan rules, which remain substantively the same as those of the 2014 LTIP, save for minor updates to reflect changes in the legislative and regulatory requirements and market practices. A copy of the Plan rules will be available for inspection as set out in Note 8 on page 12.
Participation in the 2024 LTIP is at the discretion of the remuneration committee of the Board (the 'Committee'). Awards may be granted to any employee (including an executive director) of the Company or any subsidiary. No employee has a right to participate in the 2024 LTIP.
Awards may be granted within 42 days commencing on the date of:
No grants may be made under the 2024 LTIP after the Company's AGM in 2034.
An award under the Plan can take the form of a nil-cost option, a market value option, a conditional award, or free shares. No payment is required for the grant of awards.
Awards will be released on the vesting date, normally the third anniversary of the grant date, or the date on which the holding period ends, subject to certain Plan rules relating to cessation of employment and corporate events.
Award levels will be determined by the Committee. An award may not be granted to an individual if such grant would cause the total market value of the shares subject to the awards granted to them in respect of the same financial year (as measured at the respective grant dates) to exceed the limit set out in the Company's prevailing directors' remuneration policy.
In any 10 year period, the Committee may not grant awards under the 2024 LTIP if such grant would cause the number of shares that could be issued under any employees' share scheme adopted by the Company or any other company under the Company's control to exceed 10% of the Company's equity share capital at the proposed date of grant. The satisfaction of awards with treasury shares will be treated as an issue of shares for the purpose of the limit for so long as institutional shareholder guidelines recommend this.
Vesting may be (or, must be, in the case of executive directors) conditional on the satisfaction of one or more conditions determined by the Committee. Performance conditions will be objective and specified at the grant date and may provide that an award will lapse if the performance conditions are not satisfied. The Committee may waive or change the performance conditions if anything happens which causes the Committee reasonably to consider it appropriate, provided that any changed performance conditions will not be materially easier or more difficult to satisfy.
Awards may be subject to a holding period for two years following vesting, or such other period as the Committee may determine.
Awards are granted subject to the Company's malus and clawback policies under which the Company may operate malus and clawback (including a reduction of the number of shares under an award and forfeiture of shares delivered) if certain trigger events (including a material misstatement of the results, serious misconduct of the individual, or serious reputational damage to the Group) occur.
The Committee may determine that the number of shares under an award may be increased to account for dividends which were payable on the number of vested shares between grant and the date of release. This amount will be paid in shares unless the Committee decides it will be paid in cash.
Any outstanding award (whether vested or not) will lapse immediately on the date a participant ceases to be an employee or director by reason of dismissal for misconduct, unless the Committee decides otherwise.
Subject to the above, (i) a vested award which has not yet been released will not lapse on the date the participant ceases to be an employee but will instead continue and be released on the normal release date unless the Committee decides that it should be released at an earlier date; and (ii) a vested option which has been released will not lapse on the date the participant ceases to be an employee and will remain exercisable for a period as specified in the Plan rules.
An unvested award will lapse on the date the participant ceases to be an employee other than as a "good leaver". Good leaver circumstances include ill-health, injury or permanent disability, the participant's employer ceasing to be under the control of the Company, a transfer of the undertaking in which the participant works out of the Group, redundancy and other reason at the discretion of the Committee. A good leaver's award that is subject to performance conditions will vest after the end of the performance period and be released on the scheduled release date, or earlier at the Committee's discretion, normally subject to time pro-rating to reflect the period the participant remained in employment.
If the good leaver's award is not subject to performance conditions, the award will vest and be released on the date of cessation of the participant's employment, or any other date at the Committee's discretion, normally subject to time prorating to reflect the period the participant remained in employment.
If a person obtains control of the Company as a result of making an offer to acquire shares of the Company, or a court sanctions a compromise or arrangement in connection with the acquisition of shares of the Company, awards will vest and be released early, normally subject to the extent to which any performance conditions have been satisfied at that date and time pro-rating. The Committee may allow early vesting and release if it becomes aware of any demerger, distribution or other transaction which would affect the value of any award. Alternatively, an award may be exchanged for an equivalent award with the participant's consent.
The Committee may adjust the number or class of shares in an award or the exercise price of an option if there is a variation in the equity share capital of the Company, a demerger, an exempt distribution, a special dividend or distribution, or other circumstances which the Committee considers appropriate.
An award may be satisfied with newly issued shares, treasury shares or shares purchased in the market. All shares delivered under the 2024 LTIP will carry the same rights as any other issued ordinary shares in the Company, save in respect of free shares that remain unvested. The Committee may determine at the time of the grant date that free shares shall not be entitled to vote and receive dividends prior to vesting. Awards may not be transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed except on a participant's death.
Application will be made for the shares issued under the Plan to be listed and traded on such stock exchange as where the Company's shares may be traded at the time.
Benefits under the 2024 LTIP will not be pensionable.
The Committee administers and may amend the 2024 LTIP, provided that no amendments to the advantage of present or future participants may be made which relate to the persons to or for whom shares may be provided under the Plan, the limitations on the number of shares which may be issued under the Plan, the rights of a participant in the event of a capitalisation issue, rights issue, open offer, sub-division or consolidation of shares or reduction of capital or any other variation of capital of the Company. The Committee can amend the 2024 LTIP without shareholder approval for any minor changes to benefit the administration of the Plan, to comply with or take account of any legislation, or to obtain favourable tax, exchange control or regulatory treatment. The Committee may establish sub-plans to operate the 2024 LTIP outside the UK.
The Company currently operates the Indivior UK Savings Related Share Option Plan (the '2014 SAYE') which is due to expire on November 30, 2024. In order for the Company to continue to reward and incentivise employees, it is proposed that the Company adopt the Indivior 2024 Savings Related Share Option Plan (the '2024 SAYE' or 'Plan').
It is intended that the 2024 SAYE will comply with and be operated within the requirements of Schedule 3 to the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 so that the 2024 SAYE qualifies as a Schedule 3 Savings Related Share option scheme under UK tax rules. Eligible employees are entitled to apply for the grant of an option to acquire shares in the Company at a price determined shortly before invitations to apply for the options are issued. An option is granted over such number of shares that can be acquired using the proceeds of a related savings contract. The option price may be set at a discount (of up to 20 per cent or such percentage as maybe allowed from time to time by HM Revenue & Customs ('HMRC')) to the market value of the shares at that time. Employees are required to save monthly through a contractual savings arrangement over a period of either three or five years. A tax-free bonus at a rate as determined by HMRC is payable on completion of the relevant savings contract for UK employees. At the end of the savings period, the employee may either exercise the option using the savings and bonus for a period of six months or have the savings and bonus repaid.
The following summary sets out the principal provisions of the Plan rules, which remain substantively the same as those of the 2014 SAYE, save for minor updates to reflect changes in the legislative and regulatory requirements and market practices. A copy of the Plan rules will be available for inspection as set out in Note 8 on page 12.
Any person who is an employee or full-time director of participating group companies who have been employed for a minimum period, or any other director or employee of any participating company whom the Committee may select will be eligible to participate in the 2024 SAYE.
The invitation period for the grant of options will be within the 42 days after:
No option may be granted under the 2024 SAYE after the Company's AGM in 2034.
The maximum contribution which an optionholder may make under all savings contracts linked to options will be £500 per month (or such other amount as may be permitted from time to time by HMRC). The Committee may impose a lower savings limit.
In any 10 year period, the Committee may not grant awards under the 2024 SAYE if such grant would cause the number of shares that could be issued under any employees' share scheme adopted by the Company or any other company under the Company's control to exceed 10% of the Company's equity share capital at the proposed date of grant. The satisfaction of awards with treasury shares will be treated as an issue of shares for the purpose of the limit for so long as institutional shareholder guidelines recommend this.
Save in circumstances of cessation of employment and certain corporate events, an option may be exercised only during the six-month period following the maturity date of the related savings contract.
An optionholder who ceases to be an employee in certain circumstances (including due to injury, disability, redundancy, retirement, following a change in control of the employing company, transfer of the employing business, or following three years after grant date) may exercise an option within the period of six months following such cessation. If an optionholder dies, an option may be exercised by the personal representatives of the deceased optionholder during the period of one year following the earlier of the date of death or the maturity of the option. If an optionholder ceases to be an employee or director of a participating company for any other reason, an option will lapse.
If a person obtains control of the Company as a result of making a general offer to acquire shares of the Company, a court sanctions a compromise or arrangement in connection with the acquisition of shares of the Company, a person becomes bound or entitled to acquire shares under the relevant legislation, or if the Company passes a resolution for the voluntary winding up of the Company, then an option may be exercised early within a period of between 20 days and 6 months as specified in the Plan rules. Alternatively, where applicable, optionholders may agree to exchange their options for equivalent options over shares in a different company.
If there is a capitalisation (other than a scrip issue), rights issue, consolidation, subdivision, reduction or other variation of the share capital of the Company, the number of shares in an option or the exercise price may be adjusted.
An award may be satisfied with newly issued shares, treasury shares or shares purchased in the market. All shares delivered under the 2024 SAYE will carry the same rights as any other issued ordinary shares in the Company. Options may not be transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed except on an optionholder's death.
Application will be made for the shares issued under the Plan to be listed and traded on such stock exchange as where the Company's shares may be traded at the time.
Benefits under the 2024 SAYE will not be pensionable.
The Committee administers and may amend the 2024 SAYE, provided that no amendments to the advantage of present or future optionholders may be made relating to who can be an optionholder, the number of shares which can be allocated under the Plan, the basis for determining an optionholder's entitlement to and the terms of the shares and any adjustment in the event of a variation in the share capital of the Company. The Committee can make minor amendments to the 2024 SAYE without shareholder approval to benefit the administration of the Plan, to take account of a change in legislation or to obtain or maintain favourable tax, exchange control or regulatory treatment.
