I am pleased to enclose the notice of meeting for the annual general meeting ('AGM') of the Company. The AGM is to be held on Thursday, May 4, 2023 at 11.00am in the Marlborough Theatre No. 11 Cavendish Square, London W1G 0AN.
The formal notice of AGM ('Notice') and resolutions to be proposed are set out on pages 6 to 11 of this document. Explanatory notes to the business to be considered are set out on pages 12 to 15.
The business of this year's AGM comprises resolutions that are regularly brought to shareholders of listed public companies.
The Board recognizes the importance of the AGM to shareholders and is keen to ensure that you are able to engage with the business of the meeting. We encourage you to attend the AGM for an opportunity to communicate with the Directors and to vote on the proposed resolutions.
Should you be unable to attend the AGM in person, you can appoint another person as your proxy to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote at the meeting.
Details of how to appoint a proxy are set out in the notes to the Notice on pages 12 to 14. To be valid, your proxy appointment form or instruction must be received at the address specified in the notes to the Notice by no later than
11.00am on Tuesday May 2, 2023. If you appoint the Chair of the AGM as your proxy, the Chair will vote in accordance with your instructions. If the Chair is given discretion as to how to vote, they will vote in favor of each of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM. All proposed resolutions will be put to a vote on a poll.
Shareholders can submit any questions relating to the business of the AGM to the Board in advance of the meeting by sending an email to [email protected]. The Company will respond before the proxy appointment deadline to those questions received by midday on April 27, 2023. Shareholders are also encouraged to check the Company's website (www.indivior.com/en/investors/shareholder-information) where the answers to frequently asked questions will be posted.
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 those resolutions in which we are interested).
Yours faithfully,

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).
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, 2024 or, if earlier, until the conclusion of the Company's AGM to be held in 2024, 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.

By order of the Board

Indivior PLC, 234 Bath Road, Slough, Berkshire, SL1 4EE Company registration number: 09237894
Resolutions 1 to 18 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 19 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, 2022. 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 2022.
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 103 to 123 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2022 and gives details of the Directors' remuneration for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The Company's Auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, has audited those parts of the Directors' Remuneration Report that are required to be audited and their report can be found on pages 130 to 140 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2022.
Resolutions 3 to 14 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. Barbara Ryan was appointed as a Director in June 2022 and, consequently, she will retire from office at the 2023 AGM and will stand for election by the Company's shareholders. The Board unanimously recommends the election of Barbara Ryan 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 each of the remaining Directors shall also retire from office at the 2023 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 re-election have been, and continue to be, effective members of the Board and demonstrate 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.
Barbara was appointed a Non-Executive Director in June 2022. Prior to founding Barbara Ryan Advisors, a capital markets and communications firm in 2012, she covered the U.S. Large Cap Pharmaceutical Industry for more than 30 years as a Wall Street sell-side research analyst.

Other current appointments:
Board Committees:
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.
The Audit Committee has recommended to the Board the re-appointment of the Company's existing Auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The Audit Committee has confirmed that its recommendation is free from third party influence and that no restrictive contractual provisions have been imposed on the Company limiting the choice of auditor. Accordingly, the Board proposes as Resolution 15 an ordinary resolution to re-appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Auditor.
Resolution 16 follows best practice in corporate governance by separately seeking authority for the Audit Committee to determine the Auditor's remuneration.
Resolution 17 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 2023 to the end of the AGM in 2024 up to an aggregate amount of £50,000.
It is worth noting, however, that the Company's US subsidiaries do make political donations as defined under UK law. Donations by the Company's US subsidiaries are not permitted to exceed \$500,000.
Resolution 18 seeks authority under the Companies Act 2006 for Directors to allot ordinary shares in the capital of the Company. The Directors' existing allotment authority is due to expire at the 2023 AGM. The UK Investment Association's guidelines on Directors' authority to allot shares 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 pursuant to a fully pre-emptive rights issue.
In light of these guidelines, the Board considers it appropriate that Directors be granted authority to allot shares in the capital of the Company up to a maximum nominal amount of \$45,433,801 representing two-thirds or approximately 67% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at March 1, 2023 (the latest practicable date prior to publication of this document).
Of this amount, a nominal amount of \$22,716,901 (representing one-third or approximately 33% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital) can only be allotted pursuant to a rights issue. The authority will last until the close of business on June 30, 2024 or, if earlier, until the conclusion of the Company's 2024 AGM. 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 March 1, 2023 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 pre-emptive offer to existing shareholders, and this can be done if the shareholders have first given a limited waiver of their pre-emption rights.
Resolution 19 and Resolution 20 ask shareholders to grant this limited waiver. The resolutions will be proposed as special resolutions.
Resolution 19 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 \$6,815,752 (which includes the sale on a non-pre-emptive basis of any shares held in treasury), which represents less than/approximately 10% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at March 1, 2023 (the latest practicable date before the publication of this document). 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 waiver granted by Resolution 20 is in addition to the waiver granted by Resolution 19 and itself has two parts. The first part is limited to the allotment of shares for cash up to an aggregate nominal value of \$6,815,752 (which includes the sale on a nonpre-emptive basis of any shares held in treasury), which represents a further 10% (approximately) of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at March 1, 2023 (the latest practicable date before the publication of this document). 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.
If the resolutions are passed, the waivers will expire at the conclusion of the AGM in 2024 or, if earlier, the close of business on June 30, 2024.
Resolution 21 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 13,631,504 ordinary shares (equivalent to approximately 10% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at March 1, 2023, being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this document) and sets a minimum and maximum price for such market purchases. This authority will expire at the close of business on June 30, 2024 or, if earlier, at the conclusion of the Company's AGM in 2024.
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 prior to publication of this document, the Company held no ordinary shares in Treasury.
As at March 1, 2023 (the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this document), there were awards and options to subscribe for 8,039,510 ordinary shares in the capital of the Company representing 5.9% of the Company's issued share capital. If the authority to purchase the Company's ordinary shares (both existing and being sought in Resolution 21) were to be exercised in full, these awards and options would represent 6.55% of the Company's issued share capital.
The Directors have no present intention of exercising this authority to purchase the Company's shares 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 22 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 2023 and the Company would like to renew this authority.
The Board is therefore proposing Resolution 22 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 2024. 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.
Resolution 23 is a special resolution, which seeks approval to adopt new articles of association (the 'New Articles') in connection with (and conditional upon the effectiveness of) the Company's proposed additional listing of its ordinary shares on the NASDAQ Stock Market.
The following updates to the Company's existing articles of association are proposed to be made under the New Articles:
A copy of the New Articles marked up to show all the proposed changes to the existing articles of association are available for inspection, as noted on page 5 of this document.
Shareholders who wish to appoint more than one proxy in respect of their shareholding should contact the Company's Registrars, Computershare Investor Services PLC, on +44 (0) 370 707 1820 for additional Forms of Proxy, or you may photocopy 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 the Company in respect of which the proxy is appointed. All Forms of Proxy should be returned together in the same envelope. Where you wish to appoint more than one proxy, failure to specify the number of ordinary shares in the Company in respect of which each proxy is appointed or specifying more ordinary shares than you hold will result in the proxy appointments being invalid.
in each case so as to be received by no later than 11.00am on Tuesday May 2, 2023 or, if the meeting is adjourned, by no later than 48 hours (excluding any part of a day that is not a working day) before the time of the holding of the adjourned meeting. If lodging a proxy instruction electronically, there is no need to return a hard-copy Form of Proxy.
For security purposes, members will need to provide their Control Number, Shareholder Reference Number (SRN) and Personal Identification Number (PIN) to validate the submission of their proxy online. The Control Number, SRN and PIN numbers are shown on the printed Form of Proxy.
For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST.
After this time any change of instructions to a proxy appointed through CREST should be communicated to them by other means.
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.
Where a member has appointed a proxy using the hard-copy Form of Proxy and would like to change the instructions using another hard-copy Form of Proxy, the member should contact Computershare in any of the ways specified in Note 24 below.
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.
A member may revoke a 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 Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol, BS99 6ZY, UK. 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.

The Company's website will include information on the total number of issued shares and voting rights after the date of the publication of this document.
