Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
(a) On May 27, 2026, COMPASS Pathways plc (the “Company”) held its 2026 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “AGM”). Of the ordinary shares entitled to vote, there were 58,880,058 ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy at the AGM.

As a result, the proxy forms for holders of ADSs who did not provide voting instructions on or before the applicable voting cut-off time have been included in the “Broker Non-Vote” total.
