Item
1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Merger
Agreement
On
July 23, 2026, Neuphoria Therapeutics Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Scancell Holdings plc, a public limited company incorporated under the
laws of England and Wales (“Parent”), and Scancell Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions
set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger as an indirect
wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement, the “Transactions”). All defined terms used in this summary of the Merger Agreement that are not otherwise
defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.
Subject
to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each
share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.00001 per share (“Company Common Stock”), issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than excluded shares, will be converted into the right to receive (i) a number of American
Depositary Shares of Parent (“Parent ADSs”) equal to the exchange ratio determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement
(the “Equity Consideration”) and (ii) one contingent value right (each, a “CVR” and, together with
the Equity Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”).
Pursuant
to the Merger Agreement, the exchange ratio (the “Exchange Ratio”) is calculated upon the Effective Time, on a pro
forma basis and based upon the number of Parent ADSs expected to be issued in connection with the Merger and the PIPE Financing. Pre-Merger
stockholders of the Company (other than Subscribers in the PIPE Financing) are expected to own approximately 11.1% of the combined company,
pre-Merger shareholders of Parent will own approximately 64.9% of the combined company and the Subscribers in the PIPE Financing are
expected to hold approximately 17.3% (assuming gross proceeds from the PIPE Financing of $38.6 million), in each case calculated on
a fully diluted basis, using the treasury stock method, and subject to certain assumptions, including (i) the Parent Valuation of $144,612,002,
(ii) the Company Valuation of $24,598,949, and (iii) the relative capitalization of Parent and the Company, as determined in accordance
with the Exchange Ratio formula set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Exchange Ratio and related share counts are subject to customary
anti-dilution adjustment for stock splits or similar events (including Parent’s planned reverse share split) between signing and
closing, and no fractional Parent ADSs will be issued, with fractional entitlements rounded to the nearest whole ADS.
The
Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties of the parties regarding their respective businesses. The Merger Agreement also
contains certain covenants made by each of the Company and Parent, including non-solicitation restrictions binding each party (and subject
to certain exceptions as further described in the Merger Agreement) and its representatives and restrictions on the operation of each
party’s business between the date of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time.
In
connection with the Merger, the parties will prepare and Parent will cause to be filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form
F-4, which will contain a proxy statement relating to the Company Stockholder Meeting (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”),
to register the Parent ADSs and the Parent Ordinary Shares represented thereby to be issued pursuant to the Merger (the “Form
F-4”). The Company will seek the approval of the Company’s stockholders at the Company Stockholder Meeting, which will
be called for the purpose of voting on the adoption of the Merger Agreement (the “Company Stockholder Approval”).
In addition, Parent will seek the approval of Parent’s shareholders at the Parent Shareholder Meeting, which will encompass resolutions
required under the Companies Act 2006 to implement the Merger and the Concurrent Financing, including, among other matters: (i) the allotment
of the Parent Consideration Shares to be issued to stockholders of the Company in connection with the Merger; (ii) the AIM Reverse Split
at a ratio to be mutually agreed upon by Parent and the Company, to be effected prior to the Closing; and (iii) the allotment of Parent
Ordinary Shares and Non-Voting Ordinary Shares in connection with the Concurrent Financing (the “Parent Shareholder Approval”).
1
In
the event the Company Board of Directors makes a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change (as defined in the Merger Agreement) as
a result of a Superior Offer (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the Company will remain obligated to hold the stockholder meeting
to seek the Company vote on the Company Stockholder Approval under the terms of the Merger Agreement and may not terminate the Merger
Agreement in order to enter into an agreement with respect to such Superior Offer.
The
completion of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, (i) the Company Stockholder Approval and
the Parent Shareholder Approval; (ii) approval of the Nasdaq listing of the Parent ADSs (and the Parent Ordinary Shares represented thereby);
(iii) Subscription Agreements remaining in full force and effect and Parent receiving not less than $75.0 million in gross cash proceeds
from the concurrent financing prior to or substantially simultaneously with the closing; (iv) effectiveness of the Form F-4; (v) circulation
of the Parent Circular to Parent’s shareholders; (vi) Closing Net Cash of at least $10,000,000 as of December 31, 2026 or at the
Closing, whichever occurs earlier; (vii) receipt by Parent of certain required third-party consents; and (viii) execution and delivery
by the applicable signatories of the Company Lock-Up Agreements and the Parent Lock-Up Agreements, each of which shall be in full force
and effect as of immediately following the Effective Time.
The
Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for the Company and Parent, including termination by mutual written agreement, by
either party if the Merger has not been consummated by February 28, 2027, subject to a 60-day extension if the SEC has not declared the
Form F-4 effective, by either party if a final and non-appealable governmental order permanently enjoins or prohibits the Merger, by
either party if the Company stockholder approval or Parent Shareholder Approval is not obtained, by Parent in certain circumstances involving
a Company adverse recommendation change or material breach of the Company’s no-solicitation obligations, and by either party for
certain uncured breaches by the other party.
If
the Merger Agreement is terminated due to the failure to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval at the Company Stockholder Meeting,
the Company may be required to pay to Parent a Company No Vote Payment, equal to Parent’s aggregate fees and expenses reasonably
incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Similarly, if the Merger Agreement is terminated due
to the failure to obtain the Parent Shareholder Approval at the Parent Shareholder Meeting, Parent may be required to pay to the Company
a Parent No Vote Payment, equal to the Company’s aggregate fees and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
Voting
and Lock-Up Agreements
Concurrently
with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain stockholders of the Company, including all directors and officers and certain other
significant holders of common stock, entered into voting and support agreements with Parent and Merger Sub (the “Company Voting
Agreements”).
Under
the Company Voting Agreements, each securityholder agreed, among other things, not to transfer covered securities or enter into voting
trusts or similar arrangements with respect to covered securities, subject to customary permitted transfers, and to appear at stockholder
meetings for quorum purposes and vote the covered securities in favor of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions and any related adjournment
proposal, and against competing acquisition proposals and other actions, proposals, transactions or agreements that could reasonably
be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect or inhibit the timely consummation of the Transactions. Each
such securityholder also granted Parent an irrevocable proxy to vote the Subject Securities (as defined below) consistent with these
obligations, agreed to customary non-solicitation, confidentiality, no-litigation and further-assurances covenants, and made customary
representations and warranties regarding its ownership of and authority over the Subject Securities.
The
Company Voting Agreements terminate automatically upon the earliest of the Effective Time, termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance
with its terms, certain amendments, waivers, supplements or changes to the Merger Agreement made without the applicable securityholder’s
prior written consent that decrease or change the form of consideration or otherwise materially and adversely affect such securityholder,
a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, or the date and time set forth in a written agreement of Parent and the applicable securityholder.
2
Concurrently
with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain shareholders and all directors of Parent entered into a voting and support deed with
Parent, Merger Sub and the Company (the “Parent Voting and Support Deed”), covering the ordinary shares of Parent
held by such shareholder together with any additional Parent or Company securities acquired during the term of the deed (the “Subject
Securities”).
Under
the Parent Voting and Support Deed, each securityholder agreed, among other things, not to transfer the Subject Securities or enter into
voting trusts, proxies, or similar arrangements with respect to them, subject to customary permitted transfers to estate-planning or
charitable transferees, affiliated entities, or other transferees who agree to be bound by the deed. Each such securityholder also agreed
to appear (in person or by proxy) at Parent shareholder meetings for quorum purposes and to vote the Subject Securities in favor of the
Parent Shareholder Approval and any related adjournment proposal, and against any action that could reasonably be expected to breach
Parent’s or each such securityholder’s obligations under the Merger Agreement or the deed, and any other action, proposal,
transaction or agreement that could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect, or inhibit
the timely consummation of the transactions or change the voting rights of Parent’s shares. Each such securityholder also granted
Parent an irrevocable proxy to vote the Subject Securities consistent with these obligations, agreed to customary non-solicitation, confidentiality,
no-litigation and further-assurances covenants, and made customary representations and warranties regarding its ownership of and authority
over the Subject Securities.
The
Parent Voting and Support Deed terminates automatically upon the earliest of the Effective Time, termination of the Merger Agreement
in accordance with its terms, as to a given securityholder, any amendment, waiver, supplement or change to the Merger Agreement made
without that securityholder’s prior written consent that materially and adversely affects such securityholder, a Parent Adverse
Recommendation Change, or the date and time set forth in a written agreement between Parent and the applicable securityholder.
At
the Effective Time, certain directors, officers and stockholders of the Company and Parent, are expected to enter into lock-up agreements
(the “Lock-Up Agreements”). Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreements, subject to specified exceptions, the applicable signatories
are expected to accept restrictions on transfers of Parent ADSs and any Parent ordinary shares represented thereby that are beneficially
owned by such persons or received in connection with the Merger for the restricted period specified in the applicable Lock-Up Agreement.
Contingent
Value Rights Agreement
At
or prior to the Effective Time, Parent is expected to enter into a Contingent Value Rights Agreement (the “CVR Agreement”)
with a rights agent (the “Rights Agent”). Pursuant to the CVR Agreement, the initial holders will be the holders of
Company Common Stock as of the close of business on the last business day prior to the day on which the Effective Time occurs, and one
CVR will be issued with respect to each share of Company Common Stock outstanding as of such record date.
Each
CVR represents a contractual right to receive a pro rata share of CVR payments, if any, equal to 100% of the net proceeds actually received
by Parent or its affiliates (i) under the Company’s research collaboration and licence agreement with Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.
for a period of 15 years from Completion; (ii) under the Participants Agreement and associated CRC Commercialisation License Agreements
(including the existing licence agreement with Pfizer relating to KAT6), for a period of 15 years from Completion; (iii) pursuant to
any monetization of certain of the Company’s intellectual property rights within the applicable timeframe as set out in the CVR
Agreement; and (iv) in respect of an Australian R&D tax credit of the Company in respect of the year ended June 30, 2026. The CVR
Agreement defines gross proceeds to include upfront, milestone, royalty and other payments received under the applicable Partner Agreements
(as defined in the CVR Agreement), subject to the exclusions and deductions described in the CVR Agreement.The CVRs will not be evidenced
by certificates or other instruments, will not have voting or dividend rights, will not bear interest, will not represent any equity,
loan capital or ownership interest in Parent or any of its affiliates and will not be listed on any quotation system or traded on any
securities exchange. The CVRs will be non-transferable except through limited permitted transfers, and there can be no assurance that
any CVR holder will receive any payment pursuant to the CVR Agreement.
3
Subscription
Agreements
In
connection with the Merger Agreement, Parent entered into subscription agreements (each, a “Subscription
Agreement” and collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (each, a “Subscriber”),
pursuant to which each Subscriber agreed to purchase, and Parent agreed to issue and sell, Parent ADSs and/or voting and/or
non-voting ordinary shares of Parent, par value £0.001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”, “Non-Voting Ordinary
Shares” and, together with the Parent ADSs, the “PIPE
Securities”), at a purchase price of $0.1205 per PIPE Security (the “Placement
Price”), in a private placement (the “PIPE Financing”) to
be consummated prior to or concurrently with the closing of the Merger. The closing of the PIPE Financing is contingent upon, and
will occur on the date of, the closing of the Merger, and is subject to customary closing conditions.
Parent
has agreed, within thirty (30) calendar days after the closing of the Merger, to file with the SEC a registration statement registering
the resale of the PIPE Securities and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause it to become effective as soon as practicable thereafter.
Each Subscription Agreement will automatically terminate, and the related PIPE Securities will not be issued, upon the earliest of the
mutual written agreement of the parties to terminate, the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, the failure
of the applicable closing conditions to be satisfied or waived as of the closing date, or written notice of termination by either party
if the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement have not been consummated by the End Date.
UK
Placing and Retail Offer
Concurrently
with the signing of the Merger Agreement, Parent has entered into a placing agreement with Panmure Liberum Limited (the “Placing
Agreement” and the “UK Placement Agent”) in connection with a proposed equity raise of approximately
$12.0 million (c.£9.0 million) via a placing of new Ordinary Shares via an accelerated bookbuild process with select
new and existing UK institutional investors at the GBP equivalent of the Placement Price (the “UK Placing”). In addition,
Parent has entered into a retail offer agreement with Winterflood, a division of Marex Financial, to conduct a retail offer (the “Retail
Offer”) via the Winterflood Retail Access Platform at the GBP equivalent of the Placement Price to raise up to a further $3.0 million
(c.£2.3 million), open to existing shareholders of Parent and new qualifying UK retail investors. The UK Placing and the
Retail Offer will each be effected pursuant to Parent’s existing share capital authorities. Neither the UK Placing nor the Retail
Offer is conditional upon completion of the Merger and the PIPE Financing. The UK Placing and the Retail Offer are expected to complete,
and the new Ordinary Shares will be admitted to trading on AIM, a market of the London Stock Exchange, on July 28, 2026.
Warrant
Amendment Letter Agreement
On
July 20, 2026, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Warrant Letter Agreement”) with Armistice Capital
Master Fund Ltd. (“Armistice”), the holder of a Common Stock Purchase Warrant issued by the Company to Armistice on
December 24, 2024 (the “Warrant”).
Pursuant
to the Warrant Letter Agreement, the parties agreed that, if the “Black Scholes Value” (as defined in the Warrant) otherwise
payable to Armistice upon exercise of the “Cash-Out Right” (as defined in the Warrant) in connection with the Merger exceeds
$3,500,000, the amount of such excess (the “Excess Amount”) will be payable to Armistice, at its option and in lieu
of cash, in the form of Parent ordinary shares, Parent ADSs, warrants to purchase Parent ordinary shares or Parent ADSs, or a combination
thereof (the “Warrant Equity Consideration”). The number of Parent ordinary shares constituting or underlying the
Warrant Equity Consideration will equal the Excess Amount (or the portion thereof paid as Warrant Equity Consideration) divided by the
Parent Per Share Price (as defined in the Merger Agreement), multiplied by 125%. Except as expressly modified by the Warrant Letter Agreement,
all other terms and conditions of the Warrant remain unmodified and in full force and effect.

5
Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 8-K contains “forward-looking
statements”. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this report are forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E
of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements are often
identified by the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,”
“foresee,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “may,” “estimate,” “outlook”
and similar expressions, including the negative thereof. The absence of these words, however, does not mean that the statements are not
forward-looking. These statements include: express or implied statements regarding the structure, timing and completion of the Merger;
the listing of Parent’s ADSs on Nasdaq after the closing of the Merger; expectations and timing regarding Parent’s entry into
the CVR Agreement; the anticipated timing of the closing of the PIPE Financing, UK Placing and Retail Offer; and other statements that
are not statements of historical fact. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, beliefs and assumptions
concerning future developments and business conditions and their potential effect on us. While the Company’s management believes
that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting us
will be those that we anticipate.
Factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include failure to obtain applicable stockholder approvals in a
timely manner or otherwise; failure to satisfy other closing conditions to the Merger; failure to reach definitive agreements in
relation to the Debt Financing; failure to realize anticipated benefits of the Merger; risks relating to unanticipated costs,
liabilities or delays of the Merger; failure or delays in research and development programs; unanticipated changes relating to
competitive factors in the companies’ industry; risks relating to expectations regarding the capitalization, resources and
ownership structure of the combined company post-Merger; the availability of sufficient resources for the combined Company’s
operations and to conduct or continue planned clinical development programs; the outcome of any legal proceedings related to the
Merger; risks related to the ability to correctly estimate operating expenses and expenses associated with the Merger; risks related
to the ability to project future cash utilization and reserves needed for contingent future liabilities and business operations;
risks related to the changes in market prices of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock or Parent’s Ordinary Shares
relative to the exchange ratio; ability to hire and retain key personnel; the potential impact of announcement or consummation of
the proposed Transactions on relationships with third parties; changes in law or regulations affecting the Company or Parent;
international, national or local economic, social or political conditions that could adversely affect the companies and the
Company’s and Parent’s businesses; conditions in the credit markets; and risks associated with assumptions the parties
make in connection with the parties’ critical accounting estimates and other judgments.
All of our forward-looking statements involve
risks and uncertainties (some of which are significant or beyond our control) and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ
materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors
and the other risks and uncertainties that affect the parties’ businesses, including those described in the Company’s most
recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other documents filed from time to
time by the Company with the SEC and those described in Parent’s annual reports, relevant reports and other documents published
from time to time by Parent. We wish to caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as
of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any of our forward-looking statements after the date
they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law.

Closing shall take place remotely via electronic exchange of required Closing documentation in lieu of an in-person Closing as soon as
practicable, but no later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the date the conditions set forth in Article VIII (other than
conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by Applicable
Law, waiver of such conditions by the Party or Parties entitled to the benefit thereof at the Closing) have been satisfied or, to the
extent permitted by Applicable Law, waived by the Party or Parties entitled to the benefit thereof, or at such other place, at such other
time or on such other date as Parent and the Company may mutually agree (the date on which the Closing occurs, the “Closing Date”).
Section 2.02 The Merger.
(a) At
the Closing, (i) the Company shall file a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Delaware Secretary
of State and make all other filings or recordings required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”)
in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time (the “Effective Time”) as the Certificate
of Merger is duly filed with the Delaware Secretary of State (or at such later time as Parent and the Company shall agree and is specified
in the Certificate of Merger).
(b) At
the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company in accordance with the DGCL (the “Merger”),
whereupon the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall be the surviving corporation (the “Surviving
Corporation”), such that immediately following the Merger, the Surviving Corporation shall be an indirect wholly owned subsidiary
of Parent. From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all the rights, powers, privileges and franchises
and be subject to all of the obligations, liabilities, restrictions and disabilities of the Company and Merger Sub, all as provided under
the DGCL.
Section 2.03 Conversion
and Cancellation of Shares in the Merger. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent,
Merger Sub, the Company or any holder of Company Common Stock, the common stock of Merger Sub:
(a) other
than shares of Company Common Stock to be cancelled or converted pursuant to Section 2.03(b) (the “Excluded Shares”),
each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into, and shall thereafter represent
only, the right to receive (i) a number of Parent ADSs equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Equity Consideration”) and
(ii) one contingent value right (each, a “CVR”) ((i) and (ii) together, the “Merger Consideration”),
subject to Section 2.08 with respect to fractional Parent ADSs, and immediately following such conversion, shall be automatically
cancelled and cease to exist (the “Cancellation”);
(b) (i)
each share of Company Common Stock held by the Company as treasury stock or owned by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective
Time (other than any such shares owned by Parent or Merger Sub in a fiduciary, representative or other capacity on behalf of other Persons,
whether or not held in a separate account) shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be paid with respect
thereto and (ii) each share of Company Common Stock held by any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective
Time shall be converted into a number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Parent ADSs equal to the Exchange Ratio;
(c) each
share of common stock of Merger Sub, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be
converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving
Corporation; and
(d) all
outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease
to exist, and (i) each share of Company Common Stock that was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented by a certificate (each,
a “Certificate”) and (ii) each uncertificated share of Company Common Stock that, immediately prior to the Effective
Time, was registered to a holder on the stock transfer books of the Company (an “Uncertificated Share”) shall (in each
case, other than with respect to Excluded Shares) thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration and the right
to receive any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.04(f), to be issued or paid in accordance with Section
2.04, without interest.
18
Section 2.04 Surrender
and Payment.
(a) Prior
to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange
Agent”) and enter into an exchange agent agreement with the Exchange Agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange
Agent Agreement”) for the purpose of exchanging (i) Certificates or (ii) Uncertificated Shares for the Equity Consideration
payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock. As of the Effective Time, in consideration of and in exchange for the Cancellation,
Parent shall issue to the ADS Depositary Parent Ordinary Shares underlying the Parent ADSs issuable pursuant to Section 2.03(a).
As of the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of shares
of Company Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Section 2.04 through the Exchange Agent, the Parent ADSs issuable
pursuant to Section 2.03(a) in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. Parent agrees to make available, directly
or indirectly, to the Exchange Agent from time to time as needed additional cash sufficient to pay any dividends or other distributions
to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 2.04(f). Promptly after the Effective Time (and in no event later than
five (5) Business Days thereafter), Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each holder of shares of Company
Common Stock at the Effective Time a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company
and substantially finalized prior to the Effective Time and which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and
title shall pass, only on proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent) for use
in such exchange. All certificates (or evidence of Parent ADSs in book-entry form) and cash deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant
to this Section 2.04 shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund.” Parent shall cause the
Exchange Agent to deliver the Equity Consideration contemplated to be issued or paid pursuant to this Article II out of the Exchange
Fund. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund
as directed by Parent; provided, that such cash shall only be invested in the manner provided in the Exchange Agent Agreement.
Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be the property of, and paid to, Parent on termination of the Exchange
Fund.
(b) Each
holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled
to receive, within five (5) Business Days of the later to occur of (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with
a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange
Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer
of Uncertificated Shares, the Equity Consideration in respect of each share of the Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate
or Uncertificated Share (including any dividends and distributions with respect to the Equity Consideration as contemplated by Section
2.04(f)). The Parent ADSs constituting the Equity Consideration, at Parent’s option, shall be in uncertificated book-entry form,
except that a physical American depositary receipt evidencing such Parent ADSs will represent all unrestricted ADSs.
(c) If
any portion of the Equity Consideration (or any dividends and distributions with respect to the Equity Consideration as contemplated by
Section 2.04(f) and Section 2.09, respectively) is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered
Certificate or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate
shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred
and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax, transfer or similar
Taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or
establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax, transfer or similar Taxes have been
paid or are not payable.
(d) From
and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock thereafter on the
records of the Company. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to Parent, the Surviving Corporation
or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Equity Consideration (and any dividends and distributions
with respect to the Equity Consideration as contemplated by Section 2.04(f)) with respect thereto in accordance with the procedures
set forth in, or as otherwise contemplated by, this Article II (including this Section 2.04).
19
(e) Any
portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock twelve (12) months following the
Closing Date shall be delivered to Parent or as otherwise instructed by Parent, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company
Common Stock for the Equity Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.04 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to
Parent for payment of the Equity Consideration (and any dividends and distributions with respect to the Equity Consideration as contemplated
by Section 2.04(f)), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving
Corporation and its Subsidiaries) shall not be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amounts properly paid to
a public official in compliance with applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders
of shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any
Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or
interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.
(f) Following
the surrender of any Certificates, along with the delivery of a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, or the transfer
of any Uncertificated Shares, in each case as provided in this Section 2.04, Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, without interest,
to the Person in whose name the Parent ADSs constituting the Equity Consideration have been registered, (i) in connection with the payment
of the Equity Consideration, the aggregate amount of all dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such Parent ADSs, with
a record date on or after the Effective Time that were paid prior to the time of such surrender or transfer, and (ii) at the appropriate
payment date after the payment of the Equity Consideration, the amount of all dividends or other distributions payable with respect to
whole Parent ADSs constituting the Equity Consideration with a record date on or after the Effective Time and prior to the time of such
surrender or transfer and with a payment date subsequent to the time of such surrender or transfer. No dividends or other distributions
with respect to Parent ADSs constituting the Equity Consideration shall be paid to the holder of any Certificates not surrendered or of
any Uncertificated Shares not transferred until such Certificates are surrendered and the holder thereof delivers a properly completed
and duly executed letter of transmittal or such or Uncertificated Shares are transferred, as the case may be, as provided in this Section
2.04.
Section 2.05 Dissenters’
Rights. No dissenters’ or appraisal rights shall be available with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated
hereby.
Section 2.06 Company
Equity Awards; Company Warrants.
(a) Company
Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option that is then outstanding shall be automatically cancelled for no consideration
and the holder thereof shall have no further rights with respect thereto.
(b) Company
Restricted Stock Units. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Time (but subject to the occurrence of the Effective
Time), each restricted stock unit award with respect to shares of Company Common Stock outstanding under any Company Stock Plan that vests
solely based on the passage of time (each, a “Company RSU Award”) that is then outstanding but not vested shall become
immediately vested in full and shall be settled by issuing to the holder of the Company RSU Award a number of shares of Company Common
Stock equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company RSU Award immediately prior to such settlement (subject
to applicable withholdings for Taxes, which may be satisfied by net share settlement) (the “Settled RSU Company Common Stock”).
The Settled RSU Company Common Stock shall be treated at the Effective Time in the same manner as other shares of Company Common Stock,
including for the avoidance of doubt as set forth in Section 2.03. Following the settlement of the Company RSU Awards into Settled
RSU Company Common Stock as provided herein, no holder thereof shall have any rights with respect to such award (or the shares of Company
Common Stock underlying such award) other than the right to receive the consideration specified in this Section 2.06.
(c) Board
Actions. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering any Company Stock
Plan) shall adopt such resolutions or take such action by written consent in lieu of a meeting, providing for the transactions contemplated
by this Section 2.06. The Company shall provide that, on and following the Effective Time, no holder of any Company Equity Awards
shall have the right to acquire any equity interest in the Company or the Surviving Corporation in respect thereof and each Company Stock
Plan shall terminate as of the Effective Time.
20
(d) Company
Warrants. That certain Common Stock Purchase Warrant issued on December 24, 2024 by the Company to Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd.,
which constitutes the only outstanding warrant to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company Warrant”),
shall be treated at the Closing in accordance with the Armistice Agreement, including with respect to the payment of the first $3,500,000
of Black Scholes Value (as defined in the Company Warrant) in cash and the payment of any Excess Amount (as defined in the Armistice Agreement),
at the option of the holder, in the form of Equity Consideration (as defined in the Armistice Agreement), in each case subject to the
proviso set forth in the definition of Company Merger Consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, any Parent Ordinary Shares, Parent ADSs
or other Parent equity issued or issuable to Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. (or its designee) under the Armistice Agreement shall
form part of the Company Merger Consideration and shall not constitute additional issuances of Parent Ordinary Shares outside of the Exchange
Ratio mechanics.
Section 2.07 Contingent
Value Right. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent will authorize and duly adopt, execute and deliver, and will ensure that a
duly qualified rights agent with respect to the CVRs mutually agreeable to Parent and the Company (a “Rights Agent”)
executes and delivers, a contingent value rights agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit D, subject to any revisions to
the CVR Agreement that are requested by such Rights Agent (provided that such revisions are (i) reasonably acceptable to the Company and
Parent and (ii) not, individually or in the aggregate, materially detrimental to any holder of CVRs).
Section 2.08 Adjustments;
Closing Statements.
(a) Without
limiting or affecting any of the provisions of Section 6.01 or Section 6.02, if, during the period between the date of this
Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding Parent ADSs or outstanding Parent Ordinary Shares in respect thereof shall
occur as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or sub-division (including reverse share split or consolidation),
merger, offer (as defined in the U.K. Takeover Code), combination, scheme of arrangement, exchange or readjustment of shares or other
similar transaction, or any stock dividend or distribution thereon with a record date during such period, the Equity Consideration and
any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the holders of shares of Company Common
Stock and/or Company Equity Awards with the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.
(b) Except
as otherwise contemplated in this Section 2.08, on the tenth (10th) Business Day before the Closing, the Company shall deliver
to Parent a schedule (the “Closing Cash Schedule”) setting forth, in reasonable detail, a balance sheet of the Company
as of the Cash Determination Time and, on the basis of the foregoing, the Company’s good faith, estimated calculation of Closing
Net Cash, including each component thereof (the “Closing Cash Calculation”), as of immediately prior to the Closing
(the “Cash Determination Time”). The Company shall make available to Parent, as reasonably requested by Parent, the
work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Closing Cash Schedule, including close-out memos or other forms of written affirmation
from vendors that either no more money is due or an amount of money is due that is reflected on the Closing Cash Schedule. If reasonably
requested by Parent, reasonable access to the Company’s accountants and counsel at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice
will be provided by the Company in order to permit Parent to review the Closing Cash Calculation.
(c) Parent
shall have the right to dispute any part of the Closing Cash Calculation by delivering a written notice (for which email will suffice)
(a “Dispute Notice”) to that effect to the Company on or prior to 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on the fifth (5th) Business
Day following Parent’s receipt of the Closing Cash Schedule (the “Response Time”), which Dispute Notice shall
identify in reasonable detail the nature and amounts of any proposed revisions to the proposed Closing Cash Calculation and shall be accompanied
by a reasonably detailed explanation for the basis for such revisions.
(d) If,
on or prior to the Response Time, Parent notifies the Company in writing that it has no objections to the Closing Cash Calculation or
if Parent fails to deliver a Dispute Notice as provided in Section 2.08(c) prior to the Response Time, then the Closing Cash Calculation
as set forth in the Closing Cash Schedule shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and shall represent
the Closing Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement.
21
(e) If
Parent delivers a Dispute Notice on or prior to the Response Time, then Representatives of the Company and Parent shall promptly (and
in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter) meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the disputed item(s) and negotiate an
agreed-upon determination of the Closing Net Cash, which agreed upon Closing Net Cash amount shall be deemed to have been finally determined
for purposes of this Agreement and shall represent the Closing Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement.
(f) If
Representatives of the Company and Parent are unable to negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Closing Net Cash as of the Cash Determination
Time pursuant to Section 2.08(e) within three (3) Business Days after delivery of the Dispute Notice (or such other period as the
Company and Parent may mutually agree upon), then any remaining disagreements as to the calculation of Closing Net Cash shall be referred
to for resolution to an impartial nationally or regionally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants other than the
Company’s accountants or Parent’s accountants which is jointly selected by the Company and Parent (the “Accounting
Firm”). The Company and Parent shall promptly deliver to the Accounting Firm the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing
the Closing Cash Schedule and the Dispute Notice, and the Company and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting
Firm to make its determination within three (3) Business Days of accepting its selection. The Company and Parent shall be afforded the
opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any materials related to the unresolved disputes and to discuss the issues with the Accounting
Firm; provided that no such presentation or discussion shall occur without the presence of a Representative of each of the Company and
Parent. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be limited to the disagreements submitted to the Accounting Firm. The Accounting
Firm’s determination of Closing Net Cash shall be within the range of values for Closing Net Cash asserted by the Company and Parent
in the dispute. The determination of the amount of Closing Net Cash made by the Accounting Firm shall be made in writing delivered to
each of the Company and Parent, shall be final and binding on the Company and Parent and shall (absent manifest error) be deemed to have
been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Closing Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time for purposes
of this Agreement. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between the Company and Parent in the same proportion
that the disputed amount of the Closing Net Cash that was unsuccessfully disputed by such party (as finally determined by the Accounting
Firm) bears to the total disputed amount of the Closing Net Cash amount and the Company’s portion of such fees and expenses shall
be included in the calculation of its transaction expenses. If this Section 2.08(f) applies as to the determination of the Closing
Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time, upon resolution of the matter in accordance with this Section 2.08(f), the parties shall
not be required to determine Closing Net Cash again.
Section
2.09 Fractional ADSs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no fractional Parent ADSs shall be
issued in the Merger. Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock who would otherwise have been entitled to receive as a result of
the Merger a fraction of a Parent ADS (after aggregating all shares represented by the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares
delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, in the aggregate that number of whole Parent ADSs resulting from the
application of the Exchange Ratio as described in Section 2.03 or Section 2.06 as is rounded to the nearest whole
Parent ADS, with no cash being paid for any fractional Parent ADSs eliminated by such rounding.
Section 2.10 Withholding
Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and the Company shall be entitled to deduct and
withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld
with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax law. To the extent amounts so
deducted and withheld are paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority (including in circumstances where an equivalent amount of cash
is paid over in connection with the deduction or withholding of any non-cash consideration), such amounts shall be treated for all purposes
of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the deduction and withholding were made.
Section 2.11 Lost Certificates.
If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, on the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate
to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person
of a customary bond issued for lost, stolen or destroyed stock certificates, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation or
the Exchange Agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent,
with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall, if such holder has otherwise delivered a properly completed and duly executed
letter of transmittal, issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect
of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article II (including Section
2.04).

individually or in the aggregate, (a) have a Parent Material Adverse Effect or (b) prevent, materially delay or materially impair the
ability of Parent or Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the Merger. Each of Parent and Merger
Sub is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where such qualification is necessary, except for those jurisdictions where

of outstanding Parent Ordinary Shares at a duly convened and held meeting of Parent’s shareholders at which a quorum is present
approving the resolution granting the Parent Shareholder Approval is the only vote of Parent’s shareholders necessary in connection
with the consummation of the Merger. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each of Parent and Merger Sub and (assuming
due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company) constitutes, and at the Closing the CVR Agreement will constitute in relation
to Parent, a valid, legal and binding agreement of each of Parent and Merger Sub enforceable against Parent and Merger Sub in accordance
with its terms (subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions).

a meeting duly convened and held, the Board of Directors of Parent unanimously resolved (i) that this Agreement, the CVR Agreement and
the Merger would be most likely to promote the success of Parent for the benefit of its shareholders as a whole, (ii) that the Parent
Shareholder Approval be put to Parent’s shareholders at a meeting of Parent’s shareholders, and (iii) to recommend that Parent’s

Filings the absence of which (i) has not had, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect or (ii) individually
or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of Parent or Merger
Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the Merger.

had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect or (ii) individually

that has not resulted from a violation of this Section 6.03 and the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith,
after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Company Acquisition Proposal is or is reasonably likely
to lead to a Company Superior Proposal and, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to take the actions referred
to in clause (A) or (B) below would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, then the Company
may (A) subject to compliance with this Section 6.03, engage in negotiations or discussions with such Third Party and (B) furnish
to such Third Party and its Representatives non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to an Acceptable

(e) The
Company shall notify Parent as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than 48 hours after receipt) by the Company (or any of its
Representatives) of any Company Acquisition Proposal or any Company Inquiry, which notice shall be provided in writing and shall identify

a copy of any written proposal, offer or draft agreement provided by such Person. The Company shall thereafter (i) keep Parent informed,
on a timely basis, of any material changes in the status and details (including of any amendment, development, discussion or negotiation)
of any such Company Acquisition Proposal or Company Inquiry and (ii) as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than 48 hours after
receipt) provide to Parent copies of any material written proposals, indications of interest or draft documentation (or, in the case of
proposals or indications of interest delivered orally, shall provide to Parent a written summary of the material terms thereof) relating
to the terms and conditions of such Company Acquisition Proposal or Company Inquiry provided to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
(as well as written summaries of any material oral communications relating to the terms and conditions of any Company Acquisition Proposal).
55
(f) Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the Company Approval Time, in response to a bona fide Company Acquisition
Proposal that has not resulted from a violation of this Section 6.03 that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good
faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, constitutes a Company Superior Proposal and the Board
of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to do so would be
inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, the Board of Directors of the Company may, subject to compliance
with this Section 6.03(f), make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change; provided, that (A) the Company shall first notify
Parent in writing at least five (5) Business Days before taking such action of its intention to take such action, which notice shall include
an unredacted copy (if any) of the acquisition agreement and all other transaction documents relating thereto, (B) the Company shall,
and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate with Parent and its Representatives during such five (5)-Business Day notice period

(C) upon the end of such notice period, the Board of Directors of the Company shall have considered in good faith any revisions to the
terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent, and shall have determined, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal
counsel, that the Company Superior Proposal would nevertheless continue to constitute a Company Superior Proposal if the adjusted terms
of this Agreement proposed by Parent were to be given effect and (D) in the event of any change, from time to time, to any of the financial
terms or any other material terms of such Company Superior Proposal, the Company shall, in each case, have delivered to Parent an additional
notice consistent with that described in clause (A) of this proviso and a new notice period under clause (A) of this proviso shall commence
each time (except that such notice period shall be reduced to two (2) Business Days), during which time the Company shall be required
to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.03(f) anew with respect to each such additional notice.
(g) Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the Company Approval Time, subject to compliance with this Section 6.03(g),
the Board of Directors of the Company may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response or relating to a Company Intervening
Event if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure
to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law; provided, that (i) the Company shall
first notify Parent in writing at least five (5) Business Days before taking such action of its intention to take such action, which notice
shall include a reasonably detailed description of such Company Intervening Event, (ii) during such five (5)-Business Day period following
such notice, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate in good faith with Parent (to the extent Parent seeks
to negotiate) regarding any adjustments proposed by Parent to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (iii) the Board of Directors
of the Company shall not effect any Company Adverse Recommendation Change involving or relating to a Company Intervening Event unless,
after the five (5)-Business Day period described in the foregoing clause (ii), the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good
faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and taking into account any written commitment by Parent to amend the terms of
this Agreement during such five (5)-Business Day period, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary
duties under Applicable Law.
(h) The
Company’s obligation to call, give notice of and hold the Company Stockholder Meeting in accordance with Section 7.03(a)
shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission of any Superior Proposal, Acquisition
Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, or by any Company Adverse Recommendation Change.

Section 6.04 No Solicitation
by Parent.
(a) Parent
shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives
to, cease immediately and cause to be terminated any and all existing discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Third Party conducted
prior to or ongoing as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any actual or potential (including if such discussions or negotiations
were for the purpose of soliciting any) Parent Acquisition Proposal or Parent Inquiry and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause
any such Third Party (and any of its Representatives) in possession of confidential information about Parent or any of its Subsidiaries
that was furnished by or on behalf of Parent in connection with such discussions or negotiations to return or destroy all such information.
(b) From
the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement, except as otherwise set forth
in this Section 6.04, Parent shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and its Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives
to not, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing information)

or a Parent Inquiry, (iii) approve, recommend or enter into, or propose to approve, recommend or enter into, any letter of intent or similar
document, agreement, commitment, or agreement in principle (whether written or oral, binding or nonbinding) with respect to a Parent Acquisition
Proposal, (iv) grant any waiver, amendment or release under any standstill or confidentiality agreement with respect to a Parent Acquisition
Proposal or any Parent Inquiry (provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall restrict Parent from waiving or releasing a standstill
or similar obligation if the Board of Directors of Parent determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel,
that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under Applicable Law), (v) (A) withdraw
or qualify, amend or modify in any manner adverse to the Company the Parent Board Recommendation, (B) fail to include the Parent Board
Recommendation in the Parent Circular or (C) recommend, adopt or approve or publicly propose to recommend or declare advisable, adopt
or approve any Parent Acquisition Proposal (any of the foregoing in this clause (v), a “Parent Adverse Recommendation Change”)
or (vi) take any action to make any Takeover Laws inapplicable to any Third Party or any Parent Acquisition Proposal.
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if at any time prior to the receipt of the Parent Shareholder Approval (the “Parent Approval Time”),
the Board of Directors of Parent receives a bona fide written Parent Acquisition Proposal made after the date of this Agreement
that has not resulted from a violation of this Section 6.04 and the Board of Directors of Parent determines in good faith, after
consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Parent Acquisition Proposal is or is reasonably likely to
lead to a Parent Superior Proposal, and, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to take the actions referred
to in clause (A) or (B) below would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under Applicable Law or inconsistent with
the application of the U.K. Takeover Code, then Parent may (A) subject to compliance with this Section 6.04, engage in negotiations
or discussions with such Third Party and (B) furnish to such Third Party and its Representatives non-public information relating to Parent
or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; provided, that all such non-public information
(to the extent that such information has not been previously provided or made available to the Company) is provided or made available
to the Company, as the case may be, substantially concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to such Third Party.
(d) Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall prevent Parent or the Board of Directors of Parent from (x) complying with either Rule 14e-2(a) under
the 1934 Act or the U.K. Takeover Code, in each case, with regard to a Parent Acquisition Proposal, or (y) making any disclosure to the
shareholders of Parent, if required by the U.K. Takeover Code, the UK Panel on Takeovers and Mergers, or otherwise if the Board of Directors
of Parent determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably
likely to be inconsistent with Applicable Law or inconsistent with the application of the U.K. Takeover Code; provided, that any such
action or disclosure that constitutes a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change shall be made only in compliance with the applicable provisions
of this Section 6.04. A “stop, look and listen” disclosure pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the 1934 Act (or similar
disclosure made pursuant to the U.K. Takeover Code) shall not constitute a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change or its equivalent under
Applicable Laws.

Acquisition Proposal or Parent Inquiry and (ii) as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than forty-eight (48) hours after receipt)
provide to the Company copies of any material proposals, indications of interest or draft documentation (or, in the case of proposals

as written summaries of any material oral communications relating to the terms and conditions of any Parent Acquisition Proposal).
(f) Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the Parent Approval Time, in response to a bona fide Parent Acquisition Proposal
that has not resulted from a violation of this Section 6.04 that the Board of Directors of Parent determines in good faith, after
consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, constitutes a Parent Superior Proposal and the Board of Directors of
Parent determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to do so would be inconsistent with the

of such Parent Superior Proposal, Parent shall, in each case, have delivered to the Company an additional notice consistent with that
described in clause (A) of this proviso and a new notice period under clause (A) of this proviso shall commence each time (except that
such notice period shall be reduced to two (2) Business Days), during which time Parent shall be required to comply with the requirements
of this Section 6.04(f) anew with respect to each such additional notice. It is understood and agreed that the Board of Directors
of Parent (or any committee thereof charged with applicable authority) and its outside legal counsel shall be entitled to deem applicable
to Parent and its board of directors the Applicable Law applicable to corporations incorporated in Delaware for purposes of making the
conclusions contemplated by this Section 6.04(f) relating to the fiduciary obligations of such person, it being understood that
this sentence is intended only to govern the contractual rights of the parties to this Agreement and that nothing in this Agreement is
intended to modify any fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of Parent or any committee thereof under Applicable Law.

after consultation with its outside legal counsel and taking into account any written commitment by the Company to amend the terms of
this Agreement during such five (5)-Business Day period, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary
duties under Applicable Law.

Agreement.

anything to the contrary in this Section 6.05, Section 7.01 or Section 7.02, none of the Company, Parent, nor any
of their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to, disclose information to or assist or cooperate with the other
Party, in each case if such access, disclosure, assistance or cooperation (i) would constitute a waiver of or, as reasonably determined
based on the advice of outside counsel, jeopardize any attorney-client, attorney-work product or other similar privilege with respect
to such information or (ii) would contravene any Applicable Law or Contract to which the applicable Party is a subject or bound; provided,
that the Company and Parent shall, and each shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute
disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which such restrictions apply (including redacting such information as necessary to comply
with any such Contract or to address reasonable attorney-client, work-product or other privilege concerns) and to provide such information
as to the applicable matter as can be conveyed. Each of the Company and Parent may, as each reasonably deems advisable and necessary,
designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 6.05 or Section 7.01 as “Outside

Section 7.13 Director
and Officer Liability.
(a) From
and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) in each case to the
fullest extent permissible by applicable Law, (i) indemnify and hold harmless each individual who at the Effective Time is, or at any
time prior to the Effective Time was, a director or officer of the Company or of a Subsidiary of the Company (each, an “Indemnitee”
and, collectively, the “Indemnitees”) with respect to all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, fines, penalties,
costs (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise) and expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with
any Action based on or arising out of (A) the fact that an Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Company or such Subsidiary
or (B) acts or omissions by an Indemnitee in the Indemnitee’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company or such Subsidiary
or taken at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary (including in connection with serving at the request of the Company or such
Subsidiary as a representative of another Person (including any employee benefit plan)), in each case of clauses (A) and (B), at, or at
any time prior to, the Effective Time (including any Action relating in whole or in part to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement)
and (ii) assume (in the case of the Surviving Corporation, in the Merger without any further action) all obligations of the Company and
such Subsidiaries to the Indemnitees in respect of indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liabilities for acts
or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time as provided in the Company Organizational Documents and the organizational documents
of such Subsidiaries as in effect on the date of this Agreement or in the agreements in effect as of the date of this Agreement providing
for indemnification between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any Indemnitee. Without limiting the foregoing, from and after
the Effective Time, Parent shall cause, unless otherwise required by Law, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving
Corporation to contain provisions no less favorable to the Indemnitees with respect to limitation of liabilities of directors and officers
and indemnification than are in the Company Organizational Documents as in effect as of the date of this Agreement, which provisions shall
not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnitees. In addition,
from the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) advance any expenses (including
fees and expenses of legal counsel) of any Indemnitee under this Section 7.13 as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under
applicable Law; provided that the Indemnitee to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such expenses if it
is ultimately determined that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification under this Section 7.13.
68
(b) Each
of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Indemnitees shall cooperate to the extent reasonably practicable in the defense of any claim
and shall provide access to properties and individuals as reasonably requested and furnish or cause to be furnished records, information
and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection
therewith.
(c) For
the six (6)-year period commencing immediately after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect the Company’s
current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time
with respect to those individuals who are covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies
on terms and scope with respect to such coverage, and in amount, no less favorable to such individuals than those of such policy in effect
on the date of this Agreement (or Parent may substitute therefor policies, issued by reputable insurers, of at least the same coverage
with respect to matters existing or occurring prior to the Effective Time, including a “tail” policy); provided that
in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in any one (1) year an amount in excess of three hundred percent (300%)
of the aggregate annual amounts currently paid by the Company and its Subsidiaries for such insurance (such amount being the “Maximum
Premium”); provided, further, that if such tail policy cannot be obtained or can be obtained only by paying aggregate
annual premiums in excess of the Maximum Premium, the Company or the Surviving Corporation shall only be required to obtain as much coverage
as can be obtained by paying an annual premium equal to the Maximum Premium. The Company shall have the right prior to the Effective Time
to purchase a six (6)-year prepaid “tail policy” on terms and conditions providing at least substantially equivalent benefits
as the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with
respect to matters existing or occurring prior to the Effective Time, covering without limitation the transactions contemplated hereby,
so long as the effective annual premium under such policy does not exceed the Maximum Premium. If such prepaid “tail policy”
has been obtained by the Company, it shall be deemed to satisfy all obligations to obtain insurance pursuant to this Section 7.13
and the Surviving Corporation shall cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and to honor all of
its obligations thereunder.

to indemnification or contribution that any such individual may have under the Company Organizational Documents, by contract or otherwise.

advanced provides an undertaking to repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification
under this Section 7.13.

any of Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges with or into
any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company, partnership or other Person of such consolidation or merger or

insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their
respective directors or officers, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.13 is
not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

to such party or that are within such party’s control and, with respect to Parent, consummate the Concurrent Financing or prior

(c) by
Parent:
(i) prior
to the Company Approval Time, if (A) a Company Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred (whether or not permitted by this Agreement)
or the Company publicly proposes, states its intention or delivers notice of its intention to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation
Change in accordance with Section 6.03(f) or Section 6.03(g), (B) a tender or exchange offer subject to Regulation 14D under

a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this

covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach by the Company would cause any condition set forth in Section 8.02(a)
(“Performance of Company Covenants”) or Section 8.02(b) (“Accuracy of Company Reps”) not
to be satisfied.

subject to Section 9.03(c), neither Parent nor the Company shall be released from any liabilities or damages arising out of any

(“Confidentiality”), the Confidentiality Agreement, Section 7.04 (“Public Announcements”),
this Section 9.02, Section 9.03 (“Termination Payment”) and Article X (“Miscellaneous”)
shall survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.
Section 9.03 Termination
Payments.
(a) If
this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent: (i) pursuant to Section 9.01(b)(iii) (“No Company Stockholder Approval”),
the Company shall pay to Parent (or its designee), in cash and by way of compensation upon termination of this Agreement, a payment in
an amount equal to the sum of Parent’s aggregate fees and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated
in this Agreement (the “Company No Vote Payment”); provided, that such amount shall be payable only if the condition
to termination under Section 9.01(b)(iv) (“No Parent Shareholder Approval”) has not been satisfied at the time
of such termination; or (ii) pursuant to Section 9.01(b)(iv) (“No Parent Stockholder Approval”), Parent shall
pay to the Company (or its designee), in cash and by way of compensation upon termination of this Agreement, a payment in an amount equal
to the sum of Company’s aggregate fees and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated in this
Agreement (the “Parent No Vote Payment” and collectively with the Company No Vote Payment, the “No Vote Payments”);
provided, that such amount shall be payable only if the condition to termination under Section 9.01(b)(iii) (“No
Company Shareholder Approval”) has not been satisfied at the time of such termination.
(b) Any
payment of a No Vote Payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Parent
or the Company, as applicable, as promptly as practicable when due.
(c) The
Parties agree and understand that (x) in no event shall either the Company or Parent be required to pay a No Vote Payment on more than
one occasion, and (y) except in the case of fraud or any willful and material breach by the other Party of any covenant or agreement set
forth in this Agreement, in no event shall either Parent or the Company be entitled, pursuant to this Section 9.03, to receive
an amount greater than the applicable No Vote Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except in the case
of fraud or any willful and material breach by the other Party of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement, if Parent or
the Company receives a No Vote Payment pursuant to this Section 9.03, such payment shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the
receiving Party against the paying Party and its Subsidiaries and their respective former, current or future partners, equityholders,
managers, members, Affiliates and Representatives, and none of the paying Party, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective former,
current or future partners, equityholders, managers, members, Affiliates or Representatives shall have any further liability or obligation,
in each case relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Parties acknowledge that the agreements
contained in this Section 9.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, that, without these agreements, the
Parties would not enter into this Agreement and that any amount payable pursuant to this Section 9.03 does not constitute a penalty.
Accordingly, if the Company or Parent fails to promptly pay the applicable No Vote Payment due pursuant to this Section 9.03, the
Company or Parent shall also pay any out-of-pocket costs and expenses (together with any irrecoverable VAT incurred thereon, and including
reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by the Party entitled to such payment in connection with a legal action to enforce this Agreement
that results in a judgment for such amount against the Party failing to promptly pay such amount. Any No Vote Payment not paid when due
pursuant to this Section 9.03 shall bear interest from the date such amount is due until the date paid at a rate equal to the prime
rate as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition in effect on the date of such payment.
75
(d) Any
Company No Vote Payment or Parent No Vote Payment shall be VAT exclusive.
(e) Without
prejudice to Section 9.03(d), the Parties hereto intend that any payment of a Company No Vote Payment or a Parent No Vote Payment, being
in each case compensatory in nature, shall not be treated (in whole or in part) as consideration for a supply for the purposes of VAT
and, accordingly, the Parties shall file their relevant VAT returns on the basis that the payment of any such Company No Vote Payment
or Parent No Vote Payment falls outside the scope of VAT.

of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such a determination, the
Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible
in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent

Change. The Parties further agree that by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 10.13, a Party shall not in any respect

to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 9.01 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that
may be available then or thereafter. In no event shall the Company or Parent be entitled to both (i) specific performance to cause the
other Party to consummate the Closing and (ii) the payment of the applicable No Vote Payment.

Exhibit 10.1
COMPANY VOTING
AND Support AGREEMENT
THIS COMPANY VOTING AND SUPPORT
AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of July 23, 2026, by and among Scancell Holdings plc,
a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (“Parent”), Scancell Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware
corporation and an indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the stockholder(s) of Neuphoria
Therapeutics Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) listed on Schedule A hereto (“Securityholder”).
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are used as they are defined in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, Securityholder is
the record or beneficial owner of the securities of the Company (including options, warrants and convertible securities) as set forth
opposite Securityholder’s name on Schedule A hereto (such securities, together with any other securities of the Company
or Parent acquired by Securityholder after the date hereof and during the term of this Agreement, being collectively referred to herein
as the “Subject Securities”).
WHEREAS, Upon the satisfaction
or waiver of the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Parent, Merger Sub and the Company, dated as of
the date hereof (as amended, restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), Merger Sub will
be merged with and into the Company, with the Company to be the surviving corporation of such merger (the “Merger”).
WHEREAS, In order to induce
Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement and in consideration of the execution thereof by Parent and Merger Sub and to
enhance the likelihood that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”)
will be consummated, Securityholder, solely in Securityholder’s capacity as holder of the Subject Securities, has entered into
this Agreement and agrees to be bound hereby.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises
and the covenants and agreements set forth below, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. No
Transfer of Subject Securities. During the term of this Agreement, Securityholder shall not cause or permit any Transfer (as defined
below) of any of the Subject Securities or enter into any agreement, option or arrangement with respect to a Transfer of any of the Subject
Securities. Following the date hereof and except as required by this Agreement, Securityholder shall not deposit (or permit the deposit
of) any Subject Securities in a voting trust or grant any proxy or enter into any voting agreement or similar agreement with respect
to any of the Subject Securities or in any way grant any other Person any right whatsoever with respect to the voting or disposition
of the Subject Securities. For purposes hereof, a Person shall be deemed to have effected a “Transfer” of Subject
Securities if such Person directly or indirectly: (a) sells, pledges, encumbers, grants an option with respect to, transfers, assigns,
or otherwise disposes of any Subject Securities, or any interest in such Subject Securities; or (b) enters into an agreement or commitment
providing for the sale of, pledge of, encumbrance of, grant of an option with respect to, transfer of or disposition of such Subject
Securities or any interest therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Securityholder may make (i) solely for Securityholders who are individuals,
transfers by will or by operation of law or other transfers for estate-planning purposes or charitable purposes, in which case this Agreement
shall bind the transferee, (ii) with respect to Securityholder’s Company Stock Options which expire on or prior to the termination
of this Agreement, transfers, sale, or other disposition of Subject Securities to the Company as payment for or to fund the payment of
the (x) exercise price of Securityholder’s Company Stock Options and (y) taxes applicable to the exercise of Securityholder’s
Company Stock Options, (iii) if Securityholder is a partnership or limited liability company, a transfer to one or more partners or members
of Securityholder or to an Affiliated corporation, trust or other entity under common control with Securityholder, or if Securityholder
is a trust, a transfer to a beneficiary, provided that in each such case the applicable transferee has signed a voting agreement
in substantially the form hereof, (iv) transfers to a transferee that has signed a voting agreement in substantially the form hereof
or (v) pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan in effect as of the date hereof; provided that, in each of (i), (iii)
and (iv) above, as a condition to such transfer the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. If any voluntary or involuntary transfer of any Subject Securities covered hereby shall occur (including a transfer or disposition
permitted by Section 1(i) through Section 1(v), sale by a Securityholder’s trustee in bankruptcy, or a sale to a
purchaser at any creditor’s or court sale), the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and
subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Subject Securities subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities
and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding that such transferee is not a Securityholder
and has not executed a counterpart hereof or joinder hereto.
2. Agreement
to Vote Shares. At any meeting of stockholders of the Company or at any adjournment thereof, in any action by written consent or
in any other circumstances upon which Securityholder’s vote, consent or other approval is sought, Securityholder shall (a) appear
(in person or by proxy) at each such meeting or otherwise cause all of the Subject Securities that such Securityholder is entitled to
vote to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum and (b) vote (or cause to be voted, in person or by proxy),
as applicable, all of the Subject Securities that are then entitled to be voted (i) in favor of: (1) the Merger Agreement and the Transactions,
and (2) any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting of stockholders of the Company to a later date if there are not sufficient votes
to approve the Merger Agreement and the Transactions; and (ii) against (1) any Company Acquisition Proposal, or any of the transactions
contemplated thereby, (2) any action, proposal, transaction, or agreement which could reasonably be expected to result in a
breach of any covenant, representation or warranty, or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or
of Securityholder under this Agreement, and (3) any action, proposal, transaction, or agreement that could reasonably
be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect, or inhibit the timely consummation of the Transactions or
the fulfillment of the Company’s conditions under the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights
of any class of shares of the Company (including any amendments to the Company Organizational Documents). Securityholder agrees that
the Subject Securities that are entitled to be voted shall be voted (or caused to be voted) as set forth in the preceding sentence whether
or not such Securityholder’s vote, consent or other approval is sought on only one or on any combination of the matters set forth
in this Section 2 and at any time or at multiple times during the term of this Agreement.
2
3. Irrevocable
Proxy. The Securityholder hereby revokes (or agrees to cause to be revoked) any proxies that the Securityholder has heretofore granted
with respect to the Subject Securities. The Securityholder hereby irrevocably appoints Parent as attorney-in-fact and proxy for and on
behalf of the Securityholder, for and in the name, place and stead of the Securityholder, to: (a) attend any and all meetings of the
Company’s stockholders, (b) vote, express consent or dissent or issue instructions to the record holder to vote the Subject Securities
in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 at any and all meetings of the Company’s stockholders or in connection with
any action sought to be taken by written consent of the Company’s stockholders without a meeting and (c) grant or withhold, or
issue instructions to the record holder to grant or withhold, consistent with the provisions of Section 3, all written consents
with respect to the Subject Securities at any and all meetings of the Company’s stockholders or in connection with any action sought
to be taken by written consent of the Company’s stockholders without a meeting. Parent agrees not to exercise the proxy granted
herein for any purpose other than the purposes described in this Agreement. The foregoing proxy shall be deemed to be a proxy coupled
with an interest, is irrevocable (and as such shall survive and not be affected by the death, incapacity, mental illness or insanity
of the Securityholder, as applicable) until the termination of this Agreement and shall not be terminated by operation of law or upon
the occurrence of any other event other than the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9. The Securityholder authorizes
such attorney and proxy to substitute any other Person to act hereunder, to revoke any substitution and to file this proxy and any substitution
or revocation with the secretary of the Company. The Securityholder hereby affirms that the proxy set forth in this Section 3
is given in connection with and granted in consideration of and as an inducement to Parent, the Company and the Merger Sub to enter into
the Merger Agreement and that such proxy is given to secure the obligations of the Securityholder under Section 2. The proxy set
forth in this Section 3 is executed and intended to be irrevocable, subject, however, to its automatic termination upon the termination
of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9. With respect to any Subject Securities that are owned beneficially by the Securityholder
but are not held of record by the Securityholder (other than shares beneficially owned by the Securityholder that are held in the name
of a bank, broker or nominee), the Securityholder shall take all action necessary to cause the record holder of such Subject Securities
to grant the irrevocable proxy and take all other actions provided for in this Section 3 with respect to such Subject Securities.
4. Opportunity
to Review. Securityholder acknowledges receipt of the Merger Agreement and represents that he, she, or it has had (a) the opportunity
to review, and has read, reviewed and understands, the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and this Agreement, and (b) the opportunity
to review and discuss the Merger Agreement, the Transactions and this Agreement with his, her or its own advisors and legal counsel.
5. No
Inconsistent Agreements. Each Securityholder hereby represents, covenants and agrees that, except for this Agreement, such Securityholder
(a) has not entered into any voting agreement, voting trust or similar agreement or understanding with respect to any of the Subject
Securities, and shall not enter into any other voting agreement, voting trust or similar agreement or understanding with respect to any
of the Subject Securities, (b) has not granted, and shall not grant at any time prior to the Expiration Date, a proxy, consent or
power of attorney with respect to any of the Subject Securities (other than pursuant to Section 2), (c) has not given, and
shall not give, prior to the Expiration Date, any voting instructions or authorities in any manner inconsistent with Section 2,
with respect to any of the Subject Securities and (d) has not taken and shall not take any action that would reasonably be expected
to constitute a breach hereof or make any representation or warranty of such Securityholder contained herein untrue or incorrect or have
the effect of preventing such Securityholder from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement.
3
6. Confidentiality;
Further Assurances and Public Disclosure. From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, Securityholder shall not make any public
announcements regarding this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; provided, however,
that nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit such public announcement (a) that the Company and Parent agree upon in writing, or (b)
required by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or stock market or Applicable Law. From
time to time and without additional consideration, each Securityholder shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered,
such additional instruments, and shall take such further actions, as the Company or Parent may reasonably request for the purpose of
carrying out the intent of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, each Securityholder hereby severally as to itself only, but
not jointly with any other Securityholder, authorizes Parent and the Company to publish and disclose in any public filing made in connection
with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and in any other announcement or disclosure required by applicable
Law, such Securityholder’s identity and ownership of the Subject Securities and the nature of such Securityholder’s obligations
under this Agreement and authorizes the Company and Parent to include this Agreement as an exhibit to any filing required to be made
by the Company or Parent, as applicable, with the SEC in connection with the Merger Agreement and the Transactions.
7. Waiver
of Appraisal Rights. In connection with the Transactions, the Securityholder hereby expressly (a) waives, to the extent permitted
under applicable Law, any and all rights under Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, a copy of which is attached hereto
as Appendix I, with respect to any Subject Securities and any and all rights under any other applicable Law granting the Securityholder
the right to have any Subject Securities appraised in connection with the Transactions or to otherwise dissent from the Transactions,
(b) agrees that the Securityholder will not, under any circumstances in connection with the Transactions, exercise any dissenters’
or appraisal rights in respect of any Subject Securities, and (c) agrees that the Securityholder will not bring, commence, institute,
maintain, prosecute, participate in or voluntarily aid any action, claim, suit or cause of action, in law or in equity, in any court
or before any governmental body, which (i) challenges the validity of or seeks to enjoin the operation of any provision of this Agreement
or (ii) alleges that the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Securityholder, or the approval of the Merger Agreement by the
board of directors of the Company, breaches any fiduciary duty of the board of directors of the Company or any member thereof; provided
that the Securityholder may defend against, contest or settle any such action, claim, suit or cause of action brought against the Securityholder
that relates solely to the Securityholder’s capacity as a director, officer or securityholder of the Company.
8. Representations
and Warranties of Securityholder. Securityholder hereby represents and warrants as follows:
(a) Securityholder
(i) is the record or beneficial owner of the Subject Securities, free and clear of any liens, adverse claims, charges or other encumbrances
of any nature whatsoever (other than pursuant to (x) restrictions on transfer under applicable securities laws, or (y) this Agreement),
and (ii) does not beneficially own any securities of the Company (including options, warrants or convertible securities) other than the
Subject Securities set forth opposite its name on Schedule A.
4
(b) Except
with respect to obligations under the bylaws of the Company, as applicable, Securityholder has the sole right to Transfer, to vote (or
cause to vote) and to direct (or cause to direct) the voting of the Subject Securities, and none of the Subject Securities are subject
to any voting trust or other agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to the Transfer or the voting of the Subject Securities
(other than restrictions on transfer under applicable securities laws), except as set forth in this Agreement.
(c) Securityholder
(i) if not a natural person, is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization,
and (ii) has the requisite corporate, company, partnership or other power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to consummate
the transactions contemplated hereby and to comply with the terms hereof. The execution and delivery by Securityholder of this Agreement,
the consummation by Securityholder of the transactions contemplated hereby and the compliance by Securityholder with the provisions hereof
have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, company, partnership or other action on the part of Securityholder, and no other
corporate, company, partnership or other proceedings on the part of Securityholder are necessary to authorize this Agreement, to consummate
the transactions contemplated hereby or to comply with the provisions hereof.
(d) This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Securityholder, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Securityholder and, assuming
due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, is enforceable against Securityholder in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or
other similar laws affecting or relating to creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) the availability of injunctive relief and other
equitable remedies.
(e) As
of the date hereof, there is no Action pending against Securityholder or, to the knowledge of Securityholder, threatened against Securityholder
or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of the Securityholder’s properties or assets (including the Subject Shares), or
any Order to which Securityholder or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates is subject that could reasonably be expected to prevent, delay
or impair the ability of the Securityholder to perform the Securityholder’s obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby.
(f) The
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and compliance with the provisions
hereof do not and will not conflict with, or result in (i) any violation or breach of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of
time, or both) under, any provision of the organizational documents of Securityholder, if applicable, (ii) any material violation or
breach of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under any (x) statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation or
(y) judgment, order or decree, in each case, applicable to Securityholder or its properties or assets, or (iii) any material violation
or breach of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under any material contract, trust, commitment, agreement,
understanding, arrangement or restriction of any kind to which Securityholder is a party or by which Securityholder or Securityholder’s
assets are bound.
5
(g) The
Securityholder has had the opportunity to review the Merger Agreement, including the provisions relating to the payment and allocation
of the consideration to be paid to the stockholders of the Company, and this Agreement with counsel of the Securityholder’s own
choosing. The Securityholder has had an opportunity to review with its own tax advisors the tax consequences of the Merger and the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Securityholder understands that it must rely solely on its advisors and not on any statements
or representations made by Parent, the Company or any of their respective agents or representatives. The Securityholder understands that
such Securityholder (and not Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation) shall be responsible for such Securityholder’s tax
liability that may arise as a result of the Merger or the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Securityholder understands
and acknowledges that the Company, Parent and Merger Sub are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Securityholder’s
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.
9. Termination.
This Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the earliest of (a) the Effective Time, (b) such date and time as the Merger Agreement
shall be terminated in accordance with its terms, (c) as to Securityholder, such date and time as (i) any amendment or change to the
Merger Agreement is effected without Securityholder’s prior written consent that decreases the amount, or changes the form, of
consideration payable under the Merger Agreement (provided, that any decrease in the amount of or change to the form of consideration
payable under the Merger Agreement that is effected in accordance with Section [2] of the Merger Agreement shall not constitute an amendment
or change to the Merger Agreement for purposes of this Section 9(c)(i)), (ii) any waiver, supplement, amendment or change to the
Merger Agreement is effected without Securityholder’s prior written consent that otherwise materially and adversely affects Securityholder,
or (iii) upon a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and (d) as to Securityholder, at such date and time as may be set forth in a written
agreement of Parent and Securityholder (each of (a) through (d), the “Expiration Date”). In the event of the termination
of this Agreement, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void, there shall be no liability on the part of any of the parties,
and all rights and obligations of each party hereto shall cease; provided, however, that (i) no such termination of this
Agreement shall relieve any party hereto from any liability for any breach of any provision of this Agreement prior to such termination,
and (ii) Section 6 and Section 10 through Section 21 hereof shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
10. No
Solicitation. Subject to Section 11, Securityholder shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (if any) not to, and
shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Affiliates and Representatives (if any) not to: (a) directly or indirectly solicit,
seek, initiate, knowingly encourage, or knowingly facilitate any inquiries regarding, or the making of, any submission or announcement
of a proposal or offer that constitutes, or is reasonably likely to lead to, any Company Acquisition Proposal; (b) directly or indirectly
engage in, continue, or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish or afford access to any other
Person any information in connection with or for the purpose of encouraging or facilitating, any proposal or offer that constitutes,
or is reasonably likely to lead to, any Company Acquisition Proposal; (c) enter into any agreement, agreement in principle,
letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, or similar arrangement with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal; (d) solicit proxies
with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal (other than the Transactions and the Merger Agreement) or otherwise encourage
or assist any Person in taking or planning any action that is reasonably likely to compete with, restrain, or otherwise serve to interfere
with or inhibit the timely consummation of the Transactions in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement; or (e) initiate
a stockholders’ vote or action by written consent of the Company’s stockholders with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal.
6
11. No Agreement as
Director or Officer. To the extent Securityholder is a director or an officer of the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries,
Securityholder makes no agreement or understanding in this Agreement in Securityholder’s capacity as such director
or officer, and nothing in this Agreement: (a) will limit or affect any actions or omissions taken by Securityholder in Securityholder’s
capacity as such a director or officer, including in exercising rights under the Merger Agreement, and no such actions or omissions
shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement; or (b) will be construed to prohibit, limit, or restrict Securityholder from exercising
Securityholder’s fiduciary duties as an officer or director of the Company, any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any of their
respective stockholders.
12. No
Securityholder Litigation. Securityholder agrees not to commence or participate in, and to take all actions necessary to opt out
of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, that may be brought against the Company, Parent,
Merger Sub or any of their respective successors and assigns relating to the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement, the
Merger Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; provided that this Section 12
shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights of Securityholder or its Affiliates for any breach of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement
by Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates.
13. Voluntary
Execution of Agreement. This Agreement is executed voluntarily and without any duress or undue influence on the part or behalf of
the parties. Each of the parties hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants that (a) it has read and fully understood the Merger Agreement,
including the provisions relating to the payment and allocation of the consideration to be paid to Securityholders of the Company, this
Agreement and the implications and consequences thereof; (b) it has been represented in the preparation, negotiation, and execution of
this Agreement by legal counsel of its own choice, or it has made a voluntary and informed decision to decline to seek such counsel;
and (c) it is fully aware of the legal and binding effect of this Agreement. The Securityholder has had an opportunity to review with
its own tax advisors the tax consequences of the Transactions. The Securityholder understands that it must rely solely on its advisors
and not on any statements or representations made by Parent, the Company or any of their respective agents or representatives. The Securityholder
understands that such Securityholder (and not Parent, or the Company) shall be responsible for such Securityholder’s tax liability
that may arise as a result of the Transactions. The Securityholder understands and acknowledges that Parent, the Company and Merger Sub
are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Securityholder’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.
7
14. Successors,
Assigns and Transferees Bound. Without limiting Section 1 hereof in any way, each Securityholder agrees that this Agreement
and the obligations hereunder shall attach to the Subject Securities from the date hereof through the termination of this Agreement and
shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, be binding upon any Person to which legal or beneficial ownership of the Subject Securities
shall pass, whether by operation of law or otherwise, including Securityholder’s heirs, guardians, administrators or successors,
and Securityholder further agrees to take all reasonable actions necessary to effectuate the foregoing.
15. Remedies.
Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred
hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other
remedy. Securityholder acknowledges that money damages would be both incalculable and an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement
by it, and that any such breach would cause Parent irreparable harm. Accordingly, Securityholder agrees that in the event of any breach
or threatened breach of this Agreement, Parent, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity each may have, shall be entitled
to seek immediate equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy
of money damages as a remedy and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and
to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction.
16. Notices.
All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing (including electronic mail) and shall be deemed to have been duly
given in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and addressed to the respective parties as follows: if to Company, Parent
or Merger Sub, to the address or electronic mail address set forth in Section 10.01 of the Merger Agreement and if to Securityholder,
to the address or electronic mail address set forth on Schedule A hereto or to such other address or electronic mail address as
such party may hereafter specify for the purpose of providing notice to the other party hereto.
17. Severability.
Any provision hereof that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability
in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, each party hereby waives any provision of Applicable Law that renders any such provision prohibited or unenforceable

APPENDIX I
Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law
§ 262. Appraisal rights
(a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this
State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such
shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication
or continuance, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger, consolidation,
conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to § 228 of this title shall be entitled
to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder’s shares of stock under the circumstances described
in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word “stockholder” means a holder of record of stock
in a corporation; the words “stock” and “share” mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words; the
words “depository receipt” mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in 1 or more
shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository; the words “beneficial
owner” mean a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of stock held either in voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such
person; and the word “person” means any individual, corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity.
(b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the
shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation in a merger,
consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance to be effected pursuant to § 251 (other than a merger effected
pursuant to § 251(g) of this title), § 252, § 254, § 255, § 256, § 257, § 258, § 263, §
264, § 266 or § 390 of this title (other than, in each case and solely with respect to a converted or domesticated corporation,
a merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance authorized pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions
of § 265 or § 388 of this title):
(1) Provided, however, that no appraisal
rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect
thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting of stockholders, or at the
record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to consent pursuant to § 228 of this title, to act upon the agreement of
merger or consolidation or the resolution providing for the conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance (or, in the case of a
merger pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, as of immediately prior to the execution of the agreement of merger), were either: (i)
listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights
shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval
the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in § 251(f) of this title.
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(1)
of this section, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent,
converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of
merger or consolidation, or by the terms of a resolution providing for conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, pursuant to
§ 251, § 252, § 254, § 255, § 256, § 257, § 258, § 263, § 264, § 266 or § 390
of this title to accept for such stock anything except:
a. Shares of stock of the corporation
surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or of the converted entity or the entity resulting from a transfer, domestication
or continuance if such entity is a corporation as a result of the conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, or depository receipts
in respect thereof;
b. Shares of stock of any other corporation,
or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at
the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance will be either listed on a national
securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;
c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares
or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a. and b. of this section; or
d. Any combination of the shares of stock,
depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a.,
b. and c. of this section.
(3) In the event all of the stock of
a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under § 253 or § 267 of this title is not owned by the parent
immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.
(4) [Repealed.]
(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate
of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a
result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation,
the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation or a conversion effected pursuant to § 266 of this title or
a transfer, domestication or continuance effected pursuant to § 390 of this title. If the certificate of incorporation contains
such a provision, the provisions of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d), (e), and (g) of this section, shall apply
as nearly as is practicable.
(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:
(1) If a proposed merger, consolidation,
conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval
at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was
such on the record date for notice of such meeting (or such members who received notice in accordance with § 255(c) of this title)
with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this section that appraisal rights
are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations or the converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing
corporation, and shall include in such notice either a copy of this section (and, if 1 of the constituent corporations or the converting
corporation is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title) or information directing the stockholders to a publicly available
electronic resource at which this section (and, § 114 of this title, if applicable) may be accessed without subscription or cost.
Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking
of the vote on the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder’s
shares; provided that a demand may be delivered to the corporation by electronic transmission if directed to an information processing
system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in such notice. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation
of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares.
A proxy or vote against the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance shall not constitute such a demand.
A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective
date of such merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, the surviving, resulting or converted entity shall
notify each stockholder of each constituent or converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation who has complied with
this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance,
and any beneficial owner who has demanded appraisal under paragraph (d)(3) of this section, of the date that the merger, consolidation
or conversion has become effective; or
(2) If the merger, consolidation, conversion,
transfer, domestication or continuance was approved pursuant to § 228, § 251(h), § 253, or § 267 of this title, then
either a constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation before the effective date of the merger, consolidation,
conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, or the surviving, resulting or converted entity within 10 days after such effective
date, shall notify each stockholder of any class or series of stock of such constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing
corporation who is entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or
continuance and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent, converting,
transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation, and shall include in such notice either a copy of this section (and, if 1 of the
constituent corporations or the converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation is a nonstock corporation, a copy of
§ 114 of this title) or information directing the stockholders to a publicly available electronic resource at which this section
(and § 114 of this title, if applicable) may be accessed without subscription or cost. Such notice may, and, if given on or after
the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, shall, also notify such stockholders
of the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal
rights may, within 20 days after the date of giving such notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this
title, within the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days after the date of giving
such notice, demand in writing from the surviving, resulting or converted entity the appraisal of such holder’s shares; provided
that a demand may be delivered to such entity by electronic transmission if directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly
designated for that purpose in such notice. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs such entity of the identity of the
stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder’s shares. If such notice did not notify
stockholders of the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, either (i) each
such constituent corporation or the converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation shall send a second notice before
the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance notifying each of the holders of
any class or series of stock of such constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation that are entitled
to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance or (ii) the
surviving, resulting or converted entity shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective
date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice or, in the case
of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, later than the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by §
251(h) of this title and 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder
who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder’s shares in accordance with this subsection and
any beneficial owner who has demanded appraisal under paragraph (d)(3) of this section. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary
or of the transfer agent of the corporation or entity that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in
the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive
either notice, each constituent corporation or the converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation may fix, in advance,
a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or
after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, the record date shall be such
effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of
business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.
(3) Notwithstanding subsection (a)
of this section (but subject to this paragraph (d)(3)), a beneficial owner may, in such person’s name, demand in writing an appraisal
of such beneficial owner’s shares in accordance with either paragraph (d)(1) or (2) of this section, as applicable; provided that
(i) such beneficial owner continuously owns such shares through the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer,
domestication or continuance and otherwise satisfies the requirements applicable to a stockholder under the first sentence of subsection
(a) of this section and (ii) the demand made by such beneficial owner reasonably identifies the holder of record of the shares for which
the demand is made, is accompanied by documentary evidence of such beneficial owner’s beneficial ownership of stock and a statement
that such documentary evidence is a true and correct copy of what it purports to be, and provides an address at which such beneficial
owner consents to receive notices given by the surviving, resulting or converted entity hereunder and to be set forth on the verified
list required by subsection (f) of this section.
(e) Within 120 days after the effective date
of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, the surviving, resulting or converted entity, or any
person who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence
an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such
stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion,
transfer, domestication or continuance, any person entitled to appraisal rights who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined
that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such person’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered
upon the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger,
consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, any person who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a)
and (d) of this section, upon request given in writing (or by electronic transmission directed to an information processing system (if
any) expressly designated for that purpose in the notice of appraisal), shall be entitled to receive from the surviving, resulting or
converted entity a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger, consolidation, conversion,
transfer, domestication or continuance (or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, the aggregate number
of shares (other than any excluded stock (as defined in § 251(h)(6)d. of this title)) that were the subject of, and were not tendered
into, and accepted for purchase or exchange in, the offer referred to in § 251(h)(2) of this title)), and, in either case, with
respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of stockholders or beneficial owners holding or owning
such shares (provided that, where a beneficial owner makes a demand pursuant to paragraph (d)(3) of this section, the record holder of
such shares shall not be considered a separate stockholder holding such shares for purposes of such aggregate number). Such statement
shall be given to the person within 10 days after such person’s request for such a statement is received by the surviving, resulting
or converted entity or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this
section, whichever is later.
(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by any
person other than the surviving, resulting or converted entity, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon such entity, which shall
within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list
containing the names and addresses of all persons who have demanded appraisal for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value
of their shares have not been reached by such entity. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving, resulting or converted entity,
the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice
of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving, resulting or converted
entity and to the persons shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall
be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving, resulting or converted entity.
(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court
shall determine the persons who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require
the persons who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates
of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any person fails to comply
with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such person. If immediately before the merger, consolidation, conversion,
transfer, domestication or continuance the shares of the class or series of stock of the constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating
or continuing corporation as to which appraisal rights are available were listed on a national securities exchange, the Court shall dismiss
the proceedings as to all holders of such shares who are otherwise entitled to appraisal rights unless (1) the total number of shares
entitled to appraisal exceeds 1% of the outstanding shares of the class or series eligible for appraisal, (2) the value of the consideration
provided in the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance for such total number of shares exceeds $1
million, or (3) the merger was approved pursuant to § 253 or § 267 of this title.
(h) After the Court determines the persons entitled
to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules
specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive
of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication
or continuance, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair
value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause
shown, and except as provided in this subsection, interest from the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer,
domestication or continuance through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the
Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date
of the merger, consolidation or conversion and the date of payment of the judgment. At any time before the entry of judgment in the proceedings,
the surviving, resulting or converted entity may pay to each person entitled to appraisal an amount in cash, in which case interest shall
accrue thereafter as provided herein only upon the sum of (1) the difference, if any, between the amount so paid and the fair value of
the shares as determined by the Court, and (2) interest theretofore accrued, unless paid at that time. Upon application by the surviving,
resulting or converted entity or by any person entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion,
proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the persons entitled to an appraisal. Any person whose name appears
on the list filed by the surviving, resulting or converted entity pursuant to subsection (f) of this section may participate fully in
all proceedings until it is finally determined that such person is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.
(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the
fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving, resulting or converted entity to the persons entitled thereto.
Payment shall be so made to each such person upon such terms and conditions as the Court may order. The Court’s decree may be enforced
as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving, resulting or converted entity be an entity of this
State or of any state.
(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined
by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a person whose name appears
on the list filed by the surviving, resulting or converted entity pursuant to subsection (f) of this section who participated in the
proceeding and incurred expenses in connection therewith, the Court may order all or a portion of such expenses, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorney’s fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled
to an appraisal not dismissed pursuant to subsection (k) of this section or subject to such an award pursuant to a reservation of jurisdiction
under subsection (k) of this section.
(k) Subject to the remainder of this subsection,
from and after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, no person who has
demanded appraisal rights with respect to some or all of such person’s shares as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall
be entitled to vote such shares for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on such shares (except dividends
or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger, consolidation,
conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance). If a person who has made a demand for an appraisal in accordance with this section
shall deliver to the surviving, resulting or converted entity a written withdrawal of such person’s demand for an appraisal in
respect of some or all of such person’s shares in accordance with subsection (e) of this section, either within 60 days after such
effective date or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such person to an appraisal of the shares
subject to the withdrawal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall not be dismissed
as to any person without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just, including
without limitation, a reservation of jurisdiction for any application to the Court made under subsection (j) of this section; provided,
however that this provision shall not affect the right of any person who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding
as a named party to withdraw such person’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger, consolidation,
conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance within 60 days after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion,
transfer, domestication or continuance, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section. If a petition for an appraisal is not filed within
the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, the right to appraisal with respect to all shares shall cease.
(l) The shares or other equity interests of the
surviving, resulting or converted entity to which the shares of stock subject to appraisal under this section would have otherwise converted
but for an appraisal demand made in accordance with this section shall have the status of authorized but not outstanding shares of stock
or other equity interests of the surviving, resulting or converted entity, unless and until the person that has demanded appraisal is
no longer entitled to appraisal pursuant to this section.

Exhibit 10.2
PARENT VOTING
AND Support DEED
THIS PARENT VOTING AND SUPPORT
DEED (this “Deed”) is made and entered into as of 23 July 2026, by and among Scancell Holdings plc, a public
limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (“Parent”), Scancell Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware
corporation and an indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), Neuphoria Therapeutics Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”) and the shareholder(s) of Parent listed on Schedule A hereto (“Securityholder”).
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are used as they are defined in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, Securityholder is
the record or beneficial owner of the ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the capital of the Parent as set forth opposite Securityholder’s
name on Schedule A hereto (such securities, together with any other securities of the Company or Parent acquired by Securityholder
after the date hereof and during the term of this Deed, being collectively referred to herein as the “Subject Securities”).
WHEREAS, Upon the satisfaction
or waiver of the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Parent, Merger Sub and the Company, dated as of
the date hereof (as amended, restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), Merger Sub will
be merged with and into the Company, with the Company to be the surviving corporation of such merger (the “Merger”).
WHEREAS, In order to induce
Parent, Merger Sub and the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement and in consideration of the execution thereof by Parent, Merger
Sub and the Company and to enhance the likelihood that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (collectively,
the “Transactions”) will be consummated, Securityholder, solely in Securityholder’s capacity as holder of the
Subject Securities, has entered into this Deed and agrees to be bound hereby.
NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. No
Transfer of Subject Securities. During the term of this Deed, Securityholder shall not cause or permit any Transfer (as defined below)
of any of the Subject Securities or enter into any agreement, option or arrangement with respect to a Transfer of any of the Subject
Securities. Following the date hereof and except as required by this Deed, Securityholder shall not deposit (or permit the deposit of)
any Subject Securities in a voting trust or grant any proxy or enter into any voting agreement or similar agreement with respect to any
of the Subject Securities or in any way grant any other Person any right whatsoever with respect to the voting or disposition of the
Subject Securities. For purposes hereof, a Person shall be deemed to have effected a “Transfer” of Subject Securities
if such Person directly or indirectly: (a) sells, pledges, encumbers, grants an option with respect to, transfers, assigns, or otherwise
disposes of any Subject Securities, or any interest in such Subject Securities; or (b) enters into an agreement or commitment providing
for the sale of, pledge of, encumbrance of, grant of an option with respect to, transfer of or disposition of such Subject Securities
or any interest therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Securityholder may make (i) solely for Securityholders who are individuals, transfers
by will or by operation of law or other transfers for estate-planning purposes or charitable purposes, provided that in each such
case the applicable transferee has signed a voting agreement in substantially the form hereof; (ii) if Securityholder is a partnership
or limited liability company, a transfer to one or more partners or members of Securityholder or to an Affiliated corporation, trust
or other entity under common control with Securityholder, or if Securityholder is a trust, a transfer to a beneficiary, provided
that in each such case the applicable transferee has signed a voting agreement in substantially the form hereof; and (iii) transfers
to a transferee that has signed a voting agreement in substantially the form hereof; provided that, in each of (i), (ii)
and (iii) above, as a condition to such transfer the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this
Deed.
2. Agreement
to Vote Shares. At any meeting of the shareholders of the Parent or at any adjournment thereof, the Securityholder shall (a) appear
(in person or by proxy) at each such meeting or otherwise cause all of the Subject Securities that such Securityholder is entitled to
vote to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum and (b) vote (or cause to be voted, in person or by proxy),
as applicable, all of the Subject Securities that are then entitled to be voted (i) in favor of: (1) the Parent Shareholder Approval,
and (2) any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting of shareholders of the Parent to a later date if there are not sufficient votes
to approve the Parent Shareholder Approval; and (ii) against (1) any Parent Acquisition Proposal, or any of the transactions contemplated
thereby, (2) any action, proposal, transaction, or agreement which could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any
covenant, representation or warranty, or any other obligation or agreement of the Parent under the Merger Agreement or
of Securityholder under this Deed, and (3) any action, proposal, transaction, or agreement that could reasonably be expected
to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect, or inhibit the timely consummation of the Transactions or the fulfillment
of the Parent’s conditions under the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any
class of shares of the Parent (including any amendments to the Parent Organizational Documents (save for such amendments to the Parent
Organizational Documents as are required in order to effect the Transactions and as are described in the Parent Circular). Securityholder
agrees that the Subject Securities that are entitled to be voted shall be voted (or caused to be voted) as set forth in the preceding
sentence whether or not such Securityholder’s vote, consent or other approval is sought on only one or on any combination of the
matters set forth in this Section 2 and at any time or at multiple times during the term of this Deed.
3. Irrevocable
Proxy. The Securityholder hereby revokes (or agrees to cause to be revoked) any proxies that the Securityholder has heretofore granted
with respect to the Subject Securities. The Securityholder hereby irrevocably appoints Parent as attorney-in-fact and proxy for and on
behalf of the Securityholder, for and in the name, place and stead of the Securityholder, to: (a) attend any and all meetings of the
Parent’s shareholders and (b) vote, express consent or dissent or issue instructions to the record holder to vote the Subject Securities
in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 at any and all meetings of the Parent’s shareholders. Parent agrees not to
exercise the proxy granted herein for any purpose other than the purposes described in this Deed. The foregoing proxy shall be deemed
to be a proxy coupled with an interest, is irrevocable (and as such shall survive until the termination of this Deed and shall not be
terminated upon the occurrence of any other event other than the termination of this Deed pursuant to Section 19. The Securityholder
authorizes such attorney and proxy to substitute any other Person to act hereunder, to revoke any substitution and to file this proxy

Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement and that such proxy is given to secure the obligations of the Securityholder under Section
2. The proxy set forth in this Section 3 is executed and intended to be irrevocable, subject, however, to its automatic termination
upon the termination of this Deed pursuant to Section 9. With respect to any Subject Securities that are owned beneficially by
the Securityholder but are not held of record by the Securityholder (other than shares beneficially owned by the Securityholder that
are held in the name of a bank, broker or nominee), the Securityholder shall take all action necessary to cause the record holder of
such Subject Securities to grant the irrevocable proxy and take all other actions provided for in this Section 3 with respect
to such Subject Securities.

to review and discuss the Merger Agreement, the Transactions and this Deed with his, her or its own advisors and legal counsel.
5. No
Inconsistent Agreements. Each Securityholder hereby represents, covenants and agrees that, except for this Deed, such Securityholder

the effect of preventing such Securityholder from performing any of its obligations under this Deed.
6. Confidentiality;
Further Assurances and Public Disclosure. From the date of this Deed until the Closing, Securityholder shall not make any public
announcements regarding this Deed, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; provided, however,
that nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit such public announcement (a) that the Company and Parent agree upon in writing, or (b)
required by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or stock market or Applicable Law. From
time to time and without additional consideration, each Securityholder shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered,

commence, institute, maintain, prosecute, participate in or voluntarily aid any action, claim, suit or cause of action, in law or in
equity, in any court or before any governmental body, which (i) challenges the validity of or seeks to enjoin the operation of any provision
of this Deed or (ii) alleges that the execution and delivery of this Deed by the Securityholder, or the approval of the Merger Agreement
by the board of directors of the Parent, breaches any fiduciary duty of the board of directors of the Parent or any member thereof; provided
that the Securityholder may defend against, contest or settle any such action, claim, suit or cause of action brought against the Securityholder
that relates solely to the Securityholder’s capacity as a director, officer or shareholder of the Parent.

liability that may arise as a result of the Merger or the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Securityholder understands

5

a vote of the Company’s shareholders at a general meeting with respect to a Parent Acquisition Proposal.
11. No Agreement as
Director or Officer. To the extent Securityholder is a director or an officer of the Parent or any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries,
Securityholder makes no agreement or understanding in this Deed in Securityholder’s capacity as such director
or officer, and nothing in this Deed: (a) will limit or affect any actions or omissions taken by Securityholder in Securityholder’s
capacity as such a director or officer, including in exercising rights under the Merger Agreement, and no such actions or omissions
shall be deemed a breach of this Deed; or (b) will be construed to prohibit, limit, or restrict Securityholder from exercising Securityholder’s
fiduciary duties as an officer or director of the Parent, any of the Parent’s Subsidiaries or any of their respective shareholders.
12. No
Securityholder Litigation. Securityholder agrees not to commence or participate in, and to take all actions necessary to opt out
of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, that may be brought against the Company, Parent,
Merger Sub or any of their respective successors and assigns relating to the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Deed, the Merger
Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; provided that this Section 12 shall not
be deemed a waiver of any rights of Securityholder or its Affiliates for any breach of this Deed or the Merger Agreement by Parent, the
Company or any of their respective Affiliates.
13. Voluntary
Execution of Agreement. This Deed is executed voluntarily and without any duress or undue influence on the part or behalf of the
parties. Each of the parties hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants that (a) it has read and fully understood the Merger Agreement,
this Deed and the implications and consequences thereof; (b) it has been represented in the preparation, negotiation, and execution of
this Deed by legal counsel of its own choice, or it has made a voluntary and informed decision to decline to seek such counsel; and (c)

advisors the tax consequences of the Transactions. The Securityholder understands that it must rely solely on its advisors and not on

understands that such Securityholder (and not Parent, or the Company) shall be responsible for such Securityholder’s tax liability
that may arise as a result of the Transactions. The Securityholder understands and acknowledges that Parent, the Company and Merger Sub
are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Securityholder’s execution, delivery and performance of this Deed.
6
14. Successors,
Assigns and Transferees Bound. Without limiting Section 1 hereof in any way, each Securityholder agrees that this Deed and
the obligations hereunder shall attach to the Subject Securities from the date hereof through the termination of this Deed and shall,
to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, be binding upon any Person to which legal or beneficial ownership of the Subject Securities
shall pass, whether by operation of law or otherwise, including Securityholder’s heirs, guardians, administrators or successors,
and Securityholder further agrees to take all reasonable actions necessary to effectuate the foregoing.
15. Remedies.
Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred
hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other
remedy. Securityholder acknowledges that money damages would be both incalculable and an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Deed
by it, and that any such breach would cause Parent irreparable harm. Accordingly, Securityholder agrees that in the event of any breach
or threatened breach of this Deed, Parent, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity each may have, shall be entitled to
seek immediate equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy
of money damages as a remedy and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security, to prevent breaches of this Deed and to
enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts of England and Wales.
16. Notices.
All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing (including electronic mail) and shall be deemed to have been duly
given in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and addressed to the respective parties as follows: if to Company, Parent
or Merger Sub, to the address or electronic mail address set forth in Section 10.01 of the Merger Agreement and if to Securityholder,
to the address or electronic mail address set forth on Schedule A hereto or to such other address or electronic mail address as
such party may hereafter specify for the purpose of providing notice to the other party hereto.
17. Severability.
Any provision hereof that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability
in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, each party hereby waives any provision of Applicable Law that renders any such provision prohibited or unenforceable
in any respect.
18. Entire
Agreement/Amendment. This Deed (including the provisions of the Merger Agreement referenced herein) represent the entire agreement
of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral,
among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Deed may not be amended, modified, altered or supplemented except by
means of a written instrument executed and delivered by the parties hereto.
7
19. Third
Party Rights. Except for as otherwise stated in this Deed, a person that is not party to this Deed shall have no right pursuant to
the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to rely upon or enforce any term of this Deed. This Section 19 shall not affect
any right or remedy of a third party which exists or is available apart from that Act.
20. Applicable
Law and Jurisdiction. The validity, construction and performance of this Deed and any claim, dispute or matter (whether contractual
or non-contractual) arising under or in connection with this Deed or its enforceability shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the law of England. Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England over any claim, dispute
or matter arising under or in connection with this Deed or its enforceability or the legal relationships established by this Deed (including
non-contractual disputes or claims) and waives any objection to proceedings being brought in such courts on the grounds of venue or on
the grounds that proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party further irrevocably agrees that a judgment in any
proceedings brought in the courts of England shall be conclusive and binding upon each party and may be enforced in the courts of any
other jurisdiction.
21. Agent
for Service of Process. The Securityholder undertakes to ensure that at all times a person with an address in England is appointed
as its process agent to receive on its behalf service of any proceedings in respect of any dispute or claim that arises out of or in
connection with this Deed or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) (the “Process Agent”).
Such service shall be deemed completed on delivery to the Process Agent, whether or not it is forwarded to or received by the corresponding
party. At the date of this Deed, the Securityholder has appointed [●] of [●] as its Process Agent. If such person ceases
to be able to act as process agent or no longer has an address in England, the Securityholder shall immediately appoint a replacement
Process Agent and deliver to the Parent and the Company a notice setting out the new Process Agent’s name and address together
with a copy of the new Process Agent’s acceptance of its appointment. Any proceedings or document served on the Process Agent will
be validly served if delivered in accordance with this Section 21. Nothing in this Deed shall affect the right to serve process
in any manner permitted by law.
22. Counterparts.
This Deed may be executed by delivery of electronic signatures and in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original,
and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Deed or the terms hereof to produce or account for more than one of such counterparts.

that in each case of clauses (i)-(vii), (a) other than with respect to clauses (i), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vii), no filing by any party
(including any donor, donee, transferor or transferee, distributor or distributee) under the Exchange Act or other public announcement

provides Parent with a copy of such agreement promptly upon consummation of any such transfer.
Notwithstanding
the restrictions imposed by this letter agreement, the Stockholder may (a) exercise or settle an option to purchase Shares or other equity
award (including a net or cashless exercise of such option) and provided further, that the underlying Shares shall continue to
be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this letter agreement, (b) transfer Shares to Parent to cover tax withholding

of such a plan, (d) transfer Shares to Parent pursuant to arrangements under which Parent has the option to repurchase such Shares, or
(e) transfer or dispose of Shares acquired on the open market following the Effective Time.
Notwithstanding
any provision of this letter agreement, the Stockholder may not Sell, or Offer to Sell Shares in breach of any restrictions on dealings
in securities of the Parent pursuant to the Parent’s Share Dealing Code (adopted in compliance with AIM Rule 21), if the Stockholder
is a director or employee of the Parent or a person who is otherwise subject to the Share Dealing Code, or pursuant to other applicable
law or regulation, including but not limited to, the Criminal Justice Act 1993, the FSMA, MAR or otherwise imposed by the AIM Rules.
Any
attempted transfer in violation of this letter agreement will be of no effect and null and void, regardless of whether the purported
transferee has any actual or constructive knowledge of the transfer restrictions set forth in this letter agreement, and the directors
of the Parent shall refuse to register such transfer on the register of members of the Parent. To ensure compliance with the restrictions
referred to herein, the Stockholder agrees that Parent and any duly appointed transfer agent or ADS Depositary may issue appropriate
“stop transfer” certificates or instructions. Parent may cause the legend set forth below, or a legend substantially equivalent
thereto, to be placed upon any certificate(s) or other documents or instruments evidencing ownership of the Shares:
THE
SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO AND MAY ONLY BE TRANSFERRED IN COMPLIANCE WITH A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, A COPY OF WHICH
IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE PARENT.
The
Stockholder hereby represents and warrants that the Stockholder has full power, capacity and authority to enter into this letter agreement.
All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred and any obligations of the Stockholder under this letter agreement will be binding
upon the successors, assigns, heirs or personal representatives of the Stockholder.
In
the event that any holder of Parent’s securities that is subject to a substantially similar agreement entered into by such holder,
other than the Stockholder, is granted a release or waiver of the foregoing restrictions by Parent with respect to any Shares for value
other than as permitted by this or a substantially similar agreement entered into by such holder, the same percentage of Shares held
by the Stockholder shall be immediately and fully released on the same terms from any remaining restrictions set forth herein (the “Pro-Rata
Release”); provided, however, that such Pro-Rata Release shall not be applied unless and until permission
has been granted by Parent, to an equity holder or equity holders to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of all or a portion of such
equity holders’ Shares in an aggregate amount in excess of 1% of the number of Shares outstanding immediately following the Effective
Time. In addition, if Parent enters into, or amends, any lock-up or similar agreement with any other holder of Parent’s securities
that contains terms or restrictions (economic or otherwise) more favorable to such holder than the terms of this letter agreement, then
the Stockholder shall be entitled to the benefit of such more favorable terms, and this letter agreement shall be deemed automatically
amended to give the Stockholder the benefit thereof.
3
Upon
the release of any Shares from this letter agreement, Parent will cooperate with the Stockholder to facilitate the timely preparation
and delivery of certificates or the establishment of book entry positions at the ADS Depositary or Parent’s transfer agent, as
applicable, representing the Shares without the restrictive legend above and the withdrawal of any stop transfer instructions at the
ADS Depositary or Parent’s transfer agent, as applicable.
The
Stockholder understands that each of Parent and the Company is relying upon this letter agreement in proceeding toward consummation of
the Merger. The Stockholder further understands that this letter agreement is irrevocable and is binding upon the Stockholder’s
heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
If

restrict any further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

Article

CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS
2.1 Holders
of CVRs; Appointment of Rights Agent.
(a) The
CVRs represent the contractual rights of Holders to receive the aggregate CVR Payments from Parent pursuant to this Agreement. The initial
Holders shall be the holders of Company Common Stock as of the close of business on the last Business Day prior to the day on which the
Effective Time occurs (the “Record Date”). One CVR will be issued with respect to each share of Company Common
Stock that is outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date.
(b) Parent
hereby appoints the Rights Agent to act as rights agent for Parent in accordance with the express terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, and the Rights Agent hereby accepts such appointment.
2.2 No
Certificate; Registration; Registration of Transfer; Change of Address.
(a) Holders’
rights and obligations in respect of the CVRs derive solely from this Agreement. The CVRs will not be evidenced by a certificate or other
instrument.
(b) The
Rights Agent will create and maintain a register (the “CVR Register”) for the purposes of (i) identifying the
Holders of CVRs, (ii) determining the Holders’ entitlement to CVRs and (iii) registering the CVRs and Permitted Transfers thereof.
The CVR Register will be created, and CVRs will be distributed, pursuant to the written instructions to the Rights Agent from Parent
that are consistent with the terms set out in this Agreement. Except for the obligations to the Rights Agent and the Holder Representative
set forth herein, neither Parent nor its Subsidiaries will have any responsibility or liability whatsoever to any Person other than the
Holders.
(c) Subject
to the restrictions on transferability set forth in Section 2.6, every request made to transfer CVRs must be in writing and accompanied
by a written instrument of transfer reasonably acceptable to the Rights Agent, together with other requested documentation
in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Rights Agent, duly executed and properly completed, as applicable, by the Holder or Holders
thereof, or by the duly appointed legal representative, personal representative or survivor of such Holder or Holders, setting forth
in reasonable detail the circumstances relating to the transfer. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Rights Agent will, subject
to its reasonable determination in accordance with its own internal procedures, that the transfer instrument is in proper form and otherwise
complies on its face with the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the provisions in Section 2.6), register
the transfer of the applicable CVRs in the CVR Register. All transferred CVRs registered in the CVR Register will be the valid obligations
of Parent, evidencing the same right, and entitling the transferee to the same benefits and rights under this Agreement, as those held
by the transferor. Parent and the Rights Agent may each require payment by the applicable Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp
or other Tax or governmental charge that is imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer (or evidence from the applicable
Holder that such Taxes and charges are not applicable). No transfer of CVRs shall be valid until registered in the CVR Register and unless
such transfer would not violate the Securities Act. Any putative transfer not duly registered in the CVR Register or in violation of
the Securities Act shall be void.
7
(d) A
Holder may make a written request to the Rights Agent to change such Holder’s address of record in the CVR Register. Such written
request must be duly executed by such Holder. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Rights Agent shall promptly record the change
of address in the CVR Register. The Holder Representative or the Acting Holders may, without duplication, make a written request to the
Rights Agent for a list containing the names, addresses and number of CVRs of the Holders that are registered in the CVR Register. Upon
receipt of such written request from the Acting Holders, the Rights Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such list to the Holder Representative
or the Acting Holders, as appropriate.
2.3 Payment
Procedures.
(a) No
later than forty-five (45) days following the end of each CVR Payment Period during the CVR Term, Parent shall deliver to the Rights
Agent a Payment Statement for such CVR Payment Period. Concurrent with the delivery of each Payment Statement, on the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, Parent shall pay the Rights Agent in U.S. dollars an amount equal to the CVR Payment for the applicable CVR Payment
Period; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate CVR Payment on any Payment Statement is less than $250,000, no CVR Payment
shall be due and instead such CVR Payment shall be added to subsequent CVR Payments until: (i) the aggregate CVR Payments shall be at
least $250,000 or (ii) the final CVR Payment Period. Parent will cause an amount equal to such CVR Payment to be transferred by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Rights Agent (for further distribution to the Holders
in accordance with the terms hereof) not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the applicable payment.
(b) Upon
receipt of the wire transfer referred to in Section 2.3(a), the Rights Agent will promptly (and in any event within 10 Business
Days) pay, by check mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the address of each Holder set forth in the CVR Register at such time or
by other method of delivery as specified by the applicable Holder in writing to the Rights Agent, an amount in cash equal to such Holder’s
Pro Rata Share of the applicable CVR Payment.
(c) With
respect to any Net Proceeds that are paid to Parent or its Affiliates, Parent shall have no further liability in respect of the respective
CVR Payment upon delivery of the relevant funds to the Rights Agent in accordance with Section 2.3(a).
(d) Parent
and the Rights Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from any amounts required to be paid
or distributed under this Agreement (including any CVR Payment payable pursuant to this Agreement), such amounts as Parent and the Rights
Agent reasonably determine they are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment or distribution (including
in respect of the distribution of CVRs) under any provision of applicable Law relating to Taxes. To the extent that amounts are so deducted
and withheld, such deducted and withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid or distributed
to the Holder in respect of which such deduction and withholding were made. The Rights Agent will solicit from each Holder a properly
completed IRS Form W-9 or the appropriate version of IRS Form W-8, as applicable, at or prior to any distribution or other payment to
such Holder under this Agreement.
8
(e) Any
portion of a CVR Payment that remains undistributed to the Holders on the date that is twelve months after the Rights Agent’s receipt
of the applicable Payment Statement (including by means of uncashed checks or invalid addresses on the CVR Register) will be delivered
by the Rights Agent to Parent or a Person nominated in writing by Parent (with written notice thereof from Parent to the Rights Agent),
and any Holder will thereafter look only to Parent for payment of such CVR Payment (which shall be without interest).
(f) If
any CVR Payment (or portion thereof) remains unclaimed by a Holder on the date that is six years after the Rights Agent’s receipt
of the applicable Payment Statement or the CVR Payment (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which such CVR Payment would otherwise
escheat to or become the property of any governmental authority), then: (i) such CVR Payment (or portion thereof) will, to the extent
permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent and will be transferred to Parent or a Person nominated in writing by Parent
(with written notice thereof from Parent to the Rights Agent), free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled
thereto, and no consideration or compensation shall be payable therefor, (ii) the CVRs to which such payment relates shall be deemed
abandoned in accordance with Section 2.5 and shall no longer be deemed outstanding for any purpose (including for purposes of
calculating each Holder’s Pro Rata Share) and (iii) the amount equal to the amount of the unclaimed CVR Payment will be applied
as a reduction to Permitted Deductions. Neither Parent nor the Rights Agent will be liable to any Person in respect of a CVR Payment
delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar legal requirement under applicable Law.
In addition to and not in limitation of any other indemnity obligation herein, Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Rights
Agent with respect to any liability, penalty, cost or expense the Rights Agent may incur or be subject to in connection with transferring
such property to Parent or a public official. Prior to any CVR Payment (or portion thereof) becoming the property of Parent pursuant
to this Section 2.3(f), Parent shall take commercially reasonable steps to locate any Holder to whom such payment is owed, including
by sending written notice(s) to the last known address of such Holder.
2.4 No
Voting, Dividends or Interest; No Equity or Ownership Interest.
(a) CVRs
will not have any voting or dividend rights, and interest will not accrue on any amounts payable in respect of CVRs.
(b) CVRs
will not represent any equity, loan capital or ownership interest in Parent or any of its Affiliates. The sole right of the Holders to
receive property hereunder is the right to receive CVR Payments, if any, in accordance with the terms hereof.
(c) Neither
Parent nor its Affiliates owe, by virtue of their obligations under this Agreement, a fiduciary duty or any implied duties to the Holders
and the parties hereto intend solely the express provisions of this Agreement to govern their contractual relationship with respect to
the CVRs, nor does Parent or its Affiliates guarantee that Holders will receive any payments under this Agreement or in connection with
the CVRs. This Section 2.4(c) is an essential and material term of this Agreement.
9
2.5 Ability
to Abandon CVR. A Holder may at any time, at such Holder’s option or upon the failure to claim payment under Section 2.3(f),
abandon all of such Holder’s remaining rights represented by CVRs by transferring such CVR to Parent or a Person nominated in writing
by Parent (with written notice thereof from Parent to the Rights Agent) without consideration in compensation therefor, and such rights
will be cancelled, with the Rights Agent being promptly notified in writing by Parent of such transfer and cancellation. No such notice
to the Rights Agent shall be required in the case of abandonment due to the failure to claim payment under Section 2.3(f). Nothing
in this Agreement is intended to prohibit Parent or its Affiliates from offering to acquire or acquiring CVRs, in private transactions
or otherwise, for consideration in its sole discretion.
2.6 Non-transferable.
The CVRs may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in
part, other than through a Permitted Transfer. The CVRs will not be listed on any quotation system or traded on any securities exchange.
Any purported transfer of a CVR other than through a Permitted Transfer shall be null and void ab initio.
2.7 Tax
Matters. Except to the extent any portion of a CVR Payment is required to be treated as interest pursuant to applicable Law, Parent,
its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) and the Holder Representative intend that, for all U.S. federal and applicable
state and local income tax purposes, (i) the CVRs received in respect of Company Common Stock will be treated as additional consideration
paid with respect to such Company Common Stock in the Merger, (ii) any CVR Payments received in respect of such CVRs are treated as payments
with respect to the applicable CVRs, and (iii) any CVR Payment paid in respect of any Company Equity Award will be treated as compensation
in the year in which the CVR Payment is made (and not upon the receipt of such CVR). Parent and its Affiliates (including the Company
and its Subsidiaries) shall (and shall instruct the Rights Agent to) report to the extent required by applicable Law for all Tax purposes
in a manner consistent with the foregoing, and none of the parties will take any position to the contrary on any U.S. federal, state
and local Tax returns or for other U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, unless otherwise required by changes
in applicable Law or a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or a similar determination under
applicable state or local Law).

THE RIGHTS AGENT
3.1 Certain
Duties and Responsibilities.
(a) The
Rights Agent will not have any liability for any actions taken or not taken in connection with this Agreement, except to the extent such
liability arises as a result of the willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or gross negligence of the Rights Agent (in each case as determined
by a final non-appealable judgment of court of competent jurisdiction). Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event will the
Rights Agent be liable for special, punitive, indirect, incidental or consequential loss or damages of any kind whatsoever (including,

Rights Agent will not have any duty or responsibility in the case of the receipt of any written demand from any Holder with respect to
any action or default by any Person or entity, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any duty or responsibility
to initiate or attempt to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise or to make any demand upon Parent. Without prejudice to the rights
of the Holder Representative and Acting Holders pursuant to this Agreement, all rights of action under this Agreement may be enforced
(but shall not be required to be enforced) by the Rights Agent, any claim, action, suit, audit, investigation or proceeding instituted
by the Rights Agent will be brought in its name as the Rights Agent and any recovery in connection therewith will be for the proportionate
benefit of all the Holders, as their respective rights or interests may appear on the CVR Register.

Rights Agent undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants
or obligations will be read into this Agreement against the Rights Agent.
(b) The
Rights Agent may rely and will be protected by Parent in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order or other paper or document believed by it in the absence of bad

the Rights Agent deems it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or omitting any action hereunder, the Rights
Agent may (i) rely upon an Officer’s Certificate and (ii), in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct
on its part, incur no liability and be held harmless by Parent for or in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under
the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon such Officer’s Certificate.
(d) The
Rights Agent may engage and consult with counsel of its selection, and the written advice or opinion of such counsel will, in the absence
of bad faith, gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct on the part of the Rights Agent, be full and complete authorization and protection
in respect of any action taken or not taken by the Rights Agent in reliance thereon.

permissive rights of the Rights Agent hereunder will not be construed as a duty.

Rights Agent will not be required to give any note or surety in respect of the execution of its powers or otherwise under this Agreement.

fine, penalty, cost, indebtedness, obligation, claim, deficiency, guaranty, endorsement or expense (each, a “Loss”)
suffered or incurred by the Rights Agent and arising out of or in connection with the Rights Agent’s performance of its obligations
under this Agreement, including the reasonable and documented costs and expenses of defending the Rights Agent against any claims, charges,
demands, actions or suits arising out of or in connection with the execution, acceptance, administration, exercise and performance of
its duties under this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability arising therefrom, directly
or indirectly, or enforcing its rights hereunder, except to the extent such Loss has been determined by a final non-appealable decision
of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Rights Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct;
provided that this Section 3.2(g) shall not apply to (i) income, receipt, franchise or similar Taxes, (ii) any Taxes imposed due
to the Rights Agent’s connection with the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes (other than any connection caused solely by this Agreement
or the Rights Agent performing, enforcing or receiving payments under this Agreement), or (iii) any Taxes imposed due to the failure
of the Rights Agent to provide any form, document or certificate that would have reduced or eliminated the amount of withholding taxes
(“Excluded Taxes”).
(h) In
addition to the indemnification provided under Section 3.2(g), Parent agrees (i) to pay the fees of the Rights Agent in connection
with the Rights Agent’s performance of its obligations hereunder, as agreed upon in writing by the Rights Agent and Parent on or
prior to the date of this Agreement, and (ii) to reimburse the Rights Agent for all reasonable and properly documented out-of-pocket
expenses, including all stamp and transfer Taxes (excluding any Excluded Taxes) and governmental charges, incurred by the Rights Agent
in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except that Parent will have no obligation to pay the fees of the Rights
Agent or reimburse the Rights Agent in connection with any lawsuit initiated by the Rights Agent on behalf of itself or the Holders,

provision of this Agreement shall require the Rights Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it believes that repayment of
such funds or adequate indemnification against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(j) The
Rights Agent will not be deemed to have knowledge of any event of which it was supposed to receive notice hereunder but has not received
written notice of such event, and the Rights Agent will not incur any liability for failing to take action in connection therewith, in
each case, unless and until it has received such notice in writing.
(k) Subject
to applicable Law, (i) the Rights Agent and any shareholder, affiliate, director, officer or employee of the Rights Agent may buy, sell
or deal in any securities of Parent or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which Parent may be interested, or contract
with or lend money to Parent or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not the Rights Agent under this Agreement, and (ii)
nothing herein will preclude the Rights Agent from acting in any other capacity for Parent or for any other Person.
(l) The
Rights Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or
by or through its attorney or agents and the Rights Agent shall not be answerable or accountable for any act, default, neglect or misconduct
of any such attorney or agents or for any loss to Parent resulting from any such act, default, neglect or misconduct, absent gross negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct (each as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) in the selection
and continued employment thereof.

instruments and assurances as may be reasonably required by the Rights Agent for the carrying out or performing by the Rights Agent of

Rights Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement (except its
countersignature thereof) or be required to verify the same, and all such statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to have been
made by Parent only.
(o) The
Rights Agent shall act hereunder solely as agent for Parent and shall not assume any obligations or relationship of agency or trust with
any of the owners or holders of the CVRs. The Rights Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility in the case of the receipt of any
written demand from any Holders with respect to any action or default by Parent, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
any duty or responsibility to initiate or attempt to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise or to make any demand upon Parent.

obligations of Parent under this Section 3.2 shall survive the expiration of the CVRs and the termination of this Agreement and
the resignation, replacement or removal of the Rights Agent.
3.3 Resignation
and Removal; Appointment of Successor.
(a) The
Rights Agent may resign at any time by written notice to Parent. Any such resignation notice shall specify the date on which such resignation
will take effect (which shall be at least 30 days following the date that such resignation notice is delivered), and such resignation
will be effective on the earlier of (x) the date so specified and (y) the appointment of a successor Rights Agent.
12
(b) Parent
will have the right to remove the Rights Agent at any time by written notice to the Rights Agent, specifying the date on which such removal
will take effect. Such notice will be given at least 30 days prior to the date so specified (or, if earlier, the appointment of the successor
Rights Agent).
(c) If
the Rights Agent resigns, is removed or becomes incapable of acting, Parent will promptly appoint a qualified successor Rights Agent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Parent fails to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after giving notice of such removal
or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent, then the incumbent
Rights Agent may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent at the cost of Parent, which
cost shall be deducted from the Gross Proceeds. The successor Rights Agent so appointed will, upon its acceptance of such appointment
in accordance with this Section 3.3(c) and Section 3.4, become the Rights Agent for all purposes hereunder.

will give notice to the Holders of each resignation or removal of the Rights Agent and each appointment of a successor Rights Agent in
accordance with Section 6.2. Each notice will include the name and address of the successor Rights Agent. If Parent

Agent will cause the notice to be mailed at the expense of Parent.

Rights Agent will reasonably cooperate with Parent and any successor Rights Agent in connection with the transition of the duties and

additional liability in connection with the foregoing.

trusts and duties of the Rights Agent; provided, that upon the request of Parent or the successor Rights Agent, such resigning
or removed Rights Agent will execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Rights Agent all the rights, powers and
trusts of such resigning or removed Rights Agent.

COVENANTS
4.1 List

(or other agent performing similar services for Parent), the names and addresses of the Holders within 21 calendar days following the
Effective Date.
4.2 Audit
Rights. Until the Termination Date and for a period of one year thereafter, Parent shall keep, and shall require its Affiliates to
keep, complete and accurate books and records that may be necessary for the purpose of calculating the CVR Payments payable under this
Agreement. The Holder Representative shall have the right to appoint an independent accounting firm to perform, on behalf of all Holders,
an inspection of such books and records for the sole purpose of determining the CVR Payments payable hereunder, subject to the prior
execution and delivery of a reasonable confidentiality agreement by such accounting firm. Upon at least ten Business Days’ prior
written notice from the Holder Representative, such audit shall be conducted during regular business hours in such a manner as to not
unnecessarily interfere with Parent’s normal business activities. Such audit shall not be performed more frequently than once per
calendar year. If the audit reveals an overpayment, Parent shall be entitled to withhold such amount from future payments of CVR Payments.
If the audit reveals an underpayment, Parent shall promptly (and in any event within 30 days) remit such amount to the Rights Agent for
distribution to the Holders. Parent shall pay the audit costs if the audit reveals an underpayment; otherwise, the cost of such audit
shall be a Permitted Deduction.
4.3 Covenants
of Parent.
(a) Maintenance
of Partner Agreements. Subject to Section 4.3(b), Parent shall, and shall procure that its Affiliates shall, maintain in good
standing throughout the shorter of (i) the CVR Term and (ii) the term of the applicable Partner Agreement, all licenses, permits, registrations,
and intellectual property rights relating to such Partner Agreement. Parent shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, maintain
and use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce Parent’s and such Affiliate’s rights under, and comply with all of Parent’s
or such Affiliate’s contractual obligations under, such Partner Agreement, save that Parent shall not be required to take any enforcement
action to the extent that the Parent board of directors determines in good faith, that such enforcement action may reasonably be considered
to constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Parent board of directors. Any costs incurred by Parent or such Affiliate pursuant
to this Section 4.3(a) will constitute Permitted Deductions.
(b) Maintenance
for the purposes of a Disposition Agreement. Following any termination or expiration of the Merck Research and Collaboration Agreement,
Parent shall and shall procure that its Affiliates shall, use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain in good standing for the longer
of (i) 9 months after the date of such termination or expiration of the Merck Research and Collaboration Agreement (such 9 month period
the “Merck Disposition Period”) and (ii) six (6) months after the date on which a negotiation in respect of a potential
Disposition Agreement that commenced during the Merck Disposition Period began, all licenses, permits, registrations and intellectual
property rights relating to the Merck IP.
(c) Enforcement
of terms of Merck Research and Collaboration Agreement. Following termination of the Merck Research and Collaboration Agreement,
Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce its rights under the Merck Research and Collaboration Agreement relating
to consequences of termination, save that Parent shall not be required to take any enforcement action to the extent that the Parent board
of directors determines in good faith, that such enforcement action may reasonably be considered to constitute a breach of the fiduciary
duties of the Parent board of directors.
14
(d) No
Negative Acts. Parent shall not, and shall procure that its Affiliates shall not, take any action (or deliberately omit to take any
action) with the specific intention of minimizing, reducing or delaying CVR Payments to Holders; and
(e) Reporting
and Information Rights. To the extent reasonably requested by the Holder Representative, and subject to the terms of the applicable
Partner Agreement, Parent and each of its Affiliates shall exercise its rights under a Partner Agreement in order to obtain any notices,
records, files, documents, reports, correspondence, studies, or other information to which it is entitled under the terms of a Partner
Agreement and will share such information with the Holder Representative, subject to the receipt of appropriate confidentiality undertakings
from the Holder Representative.
(f) Cooperation
with Holder-Proposed Disposition. Where the Holder Representative or any Holder or Holders holding more than 5% of the CVRs outstanding
at such time has identified a bona fide potential counterparty in respect of a proposed Disposition during the Merck Disposition Period
and has notified Parent during the Merck Disposition Period thereof in writing, setting out in reasonable detail the identity of the
proposed counterparty and the proposed principal commercial terms of the Disposition, Parent shall use good faith efforts to facilitate
the negotiations and the execution of a commercially reasonable Disposition Agreement for up to six (6) months after such notification
has been provided to Parent, which efforts shall include:
(i) making
available to the proposed counterparty, subject to the prior execution and delivery by such counterparty of a customary non-disclosure
agreement in favour of Parent on terms satisfactory to Parent (acting reasonably) and any ongoing obligations of confidentiality owed
by Parent or any of its Affiliates to Merck, such information relating to the Merck IP as is reasonably necessary for the proposed counterparty
to conduct an evaluation of the proposed Disposition;
(ii) making
suitably qualified and experienced internal personnel reasonably available to engage with the proposed counterparty in connection with
negotiation of the Disposition Agreement and requiring such personnel to engage in good faith negotiation and Disposition Agreement drafting
activities;
(iii) responding
in good faith and within a reasonable time to any written questions or requests for information from the Holder Representative, the relevant
Holder(s) or the proposed counterparty in connection with the proposed Disposition, to the extent Parent is reasonably able to do so;
and
(iv) entering
into a commercially reasonable Disposition Agreement reached with the proposed counterparty provided that Parent shall not be required
to provide any representations and warranties in respect of the Merck IP, other than the absence of Encumbrances having been created
with the agreement of Parent or its Affiliates following the Effective Date,
15
Provided
that, for the avoidance of doubt (i) any reasonable and documented costs and expenses, including any costs of Parent and its Affiliates’
personnel, incurred by Parent or any of its Affiliates in connection with its performance of this Section 4.3(f) shall constitute
Permitted Deductions pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of Permitted Deductions and (ii) to the extent more than one proposal for
a Disposition is received before any Disposition Agreement is executed during the Merck Disposition Period or the six (6) month negotiation
period referred to above, Parent will be entitled determine which Disposition to proceed with based on its reasonable assessment of which
Disposition is likely to be more beneficial for Holders as a whole.
4.4 From
and after the Effective Time, except as the Holder Representative shall otherwise consent in writing (in the Holder’s Representative’s
sole discretion), Parent shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to, during the CVR Term:
(a) terminate
any Partner Agreement;
(b) amend
or modify, unless any such amendment or modification does not materially adversely affect the interests of the Holders, any Partner Agreement;

always to the fiduciary duties of the Parent board of directors, commence a voluntary case under any foreign, federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar Law now or hereafter in effect with respect to Parent, Merger Sub or Bionomics;

always to the fiduciary duties of the Parent board of directors, consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary bankruptcy
or similar case, or to the conversion of an involuntary case to a voluntary case, under any such Law with respect to Parent, Merger Sub
or Bionomics; or
(e) subject
always to the fiduciary duties of the Parent board of directors, consent to the appointment of, or the taking of possession by, a receiver,
trustee or other custodian for all or a substantial part of the properties of Parent, Merger Sub or Bionomics.
4.5 No
Conflict. Parent will not, and will cause each of its Affiliates not to, enter into any agreement with any Person that is, or otherwise
take any actions or inactions, in conflict with this Agreement in any material respect or materially adversely affect the performance
of its obligations under this Agreement.

6.3 Entire
Agreement. As between Parent and the Rights Agent, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect
to the subject matter of this Agreement, notwithstanding the reference to any other agreement herein, and supersedes all prior agreements
and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.
6.4 Successor
Substituted. Upon any consolidation of or merger by Parent with or into any other Person, or any conveyance, transfer or lease of
substantially all of the properties and assets of Parent to any Person, the surviving Person or acquiring Person (as applicable) shall

this Agreement with the same effect as if such Person had been named as Parent herein.

or with which it may be consolidated, or Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Rights Agent or any successor

or any successor Rights Agent, shall be the successor to the Rights Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided, that such Person would be eligible for appointment
as a successor Rights Agent under the provisions of Section 3.3. The purchase of all or substantially all of the Rights Agent’s
assets employed in the performance of transfer agent activities shall be deemed a merger or consolidation for purposes of this Section
6.5.
6.6 Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon, and will be enforceable by and inure solely to the benefit of, the Holders, Parent
and the Rights Agent and their respective successors and assigns. Except for assignments to its Affiliates and as provided in Section

and Section 6.4 hereof, Parent may assign, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any other party, any or all of its
rights, interests and obligations hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates or to any Person with whom Parent is merged or consolidated,

provided, however, that in connection with any assignment to an Assignee, Parent shall agree to remain liable for the performance
by Parent of its obligations hereunder (to the extent Parent exists following such assignment). Parent or an Assignee may not otherwise
assign this Agreement without the prior consent of the Acting Holders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
Any attempted assignment of this Agreement in violation of this Section 6.6 will be void ab initio and of no effect.
6.7 Benefits
of Agreement; Action by Acting Holders. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, will give to any Person (other than Parent,
the Rights Agent, the Holder Representative, the Holders and their respective permitted successors and assigns hereunder) any benefit
or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement or under any covenant or provision herein contained, all such covenants
and provisions being for the sole benefit of Parent, the Rights Agent, the Holders and their permitted successors and assigns. The Holders
are intended third-party beneficiaries under this Agreement, but will have no rights hereunder except as are expressly set forth herein.
Except for the rights of the Rights Agent set forth herein, the Acting Holders will have the sole right, on behalf of all Holders, by
virtue of or under any provision of this Agreement, to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity with respect to the performance
of this Agreement by Parent, and no individual Holder or other group of Holders will be entitled to exercise such rights.

6.8 Governing
Law. This Agreement and the CVRs will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware (without
giving effect to any rule or principle that would result in application of the law of any other jurisdiction) and for all purposes shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of such State applicable to contracts to be made and performed entirely within
such State.
6.9 Specific
Enforcement; Jurisdiction. Parent and Holder Representative acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event
that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and
that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that Parent and Holder Representative
shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, or any other appropriate form of equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement
and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without proof of damages or otherwise (and
each party hereto hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in
addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. Parent and Holder Representative further agree not to assert
that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a
remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy. Parent and Holder Representative acknowledge and agree that the right of
specific enforcement is an integral part of this Agreement and without such right, none of the parties hereto would have entered into
this Agreement.
6.10 Jurisdiction.
In any action or proceeding between any of the parties hereto arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby, each of the parties hereto: (a) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the Federal

Ladies
and Gentlemen:
In
connection with the proposed merger (the “Transaction”) among Scancell Holdings plc, a public limited company
incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (the “Company”), Scancell Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation
and an indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Neuphoria Therapeutics Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“Neuphoria”, and together with the Company and Merger Sub, the “Parties”
and each a “Party”), in connection with that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Neuphoria, the
Company and Merger Sub, dated as of July 23, 2026 (as it may be amended, restated and/or supplemented from time to time in accordance
with its terms, the “Transaction Agreement”), the Company is seeking commitments to purchase (i) the Company’s
ordinary shares of £0.001 in the capital of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”) (ii) the Company’s
American Depositary Shares (the “ADS”), representing Ordinary Shares (with the Ordinary Shares representing
such ADSs being the “Underlying Ordinary Shares”); and / or (iii) the Company’s non-voting ordinary shares,
£0.001 per non-voting ordinary share (the “Non-Voting Ordinary Shares” and, together with the Ordinary
Shares and the ADSs, the “Securities”), for a purchase price of $0.1205 per Security (the “Purchase
Price”), in a private placement to be consummated by the Company prior to or concurrently with the closing of the Transaction
(the “Offering”) in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement. The Company expects that it will
effect a reverse share split or consolidation of its Ordinary Shares prior to the Closing. For the effects of any such changes, please
refer to Section 2(b). For purposes of the Purchase Price, the parties assume that each ADS represents one Ordinary Share at the time
of the Closing (such ratio of Ordinary Shares per ADS, the “Assumed ADS Ratio”), which is subject to adjustment
pursuant to Section 2(c).
In
accordance with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction Closing”)
and in accordance with the Transaction Agreement, among other matters, (i) Merger Sub will merge with and into Neuphoria, with Neuphoria
being the surviving corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company; (ii) the Company shall cause a sponsored American depositary
receipt facility to be established with a reputable bank (such bank or any successor depositary bank, the “Depositary Bank”)
for the purpose of issuing the ADSs; (iii) the ADSs offered and sold pursuant to this Agreement will not be registered and will be issued
as restricted securities (“RADRs”) pursuant to (i) the deposit agreement to be entered into by and among the
Company, the Depositary Bank, and holders and beneficial owners of the ADSs (the “Deposit Agreement”) and (ii)
a letter agreement (the “RADR Letter Agreement”) between the Company and the Depositary Bank that supplements
the Deposit Agreement to establish procedures with respect to the RADRs; and (iv) following effectiveness of a resale registration statement
as contemplated by Section 6 herein and compliance with the procedures in the RADR Letter for, among other things, removal of restrictions
that attach to the RADRs, the RADRs will be cancelled and the Depositary Bank will issue freely transferable ADSs in respect thereof,
which will be listed for trading on the Nasdaq Global Market (the “Nasdaq”).
References
in this subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) to (1) the Company issuing and selling ADSs to
the undersigned subscriber (“Subscriber”), and similar or analogous expressions, shall be understood to include
references to the Company allotting and issuing the new Underlying Ordinary Shares to the Depositary Bank and procuring the issue of
ADSs representing such Underlying Ordinary Shares by the Depositary Bank or its nominee to the relevant Subscriber; and (2) the purchase
of, or payment for, any ADSs, and similar or analogous expressions, shall be understood to refer to the subscription for the Underlying
Ordinary Shares underlying those ADSs, as well as deposit of the Underlying Ordinary Shares for ADSs, and the payment of the subscription
monies in respect of such ADSs.
References

and/or to the Subscriber purchasing, or paying for, Ordinary Shares and/or Non-Voting Ordinary Shares, and similar or analogous expressions,
shall be understood to refer to the Company allotting and issuing the new Ordinary Shares and/or Non-Voting Ordinary Shares to the Subscriber
or its nominees and (2) the purchase price for an Ordinary Share or a Non-Voting Ordinary Share shall be understood to refer to the subscription
price per Ordinary Share or Non-Voting Ordinary Share.
In
connection with the Transaction, and in consideration of the agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Subscriber and the Company agree in this Subscription Agreement as
follows:
1. Subscription.
As of the date hereof, Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company agrees to
issue and sell to Subscriber upon payment of the Purchase Price, (i) such number of Ordinary Shares set forth opposite the name of such
Subscriber under the heading “Number of Ordinary Shares”, (ii) such number of ADSs set forth opposite the name of such Subscriber
under the heading “Number of ADSs” and/or (iii) such number of Non-Voting Ordinary Shares set forth opposite the name of
such Subscriber under the heading “Number of Non-Voting Ordinary Shares” as is set forth on the signature page of this Subscription
Agreement, at the Purchase Price per Security and on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for herein. The Company acknowledges
and agrees that the Subscriber reserves the right, by notice in writing to the Company no later than 3 business days prior to Closing,
to adjust the “Number of ADSs” and “Number of Non-Voting Ordinary Shares”, in each case, as set forth opposite
the name of such Subscriber, provided that the aggregate number of Securities shall remain the same. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees
that the Company reserves the right to accept or reject Subscriber’s subscription for the Securities for any reason or for no reason,
in whole or in part, at any time prior to its acceptance by the Company, and the same shall be deemed to be accepted by the Company only
when this Subscription Agreement is signed by a duly authorized person by or on behalf of the Company. If this Subscription Agreement
is terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, Subscriber and each beneficial purchaser, if any, for whom Subscriber is acting as
agent or trustee, understands that any funds, certified checks, or bank drafts delivered by Subscriber representing the Purchase Price
for the Securities will be promptly returned to Subscriber without deduction, and this Subscription Agreement shall have no force or
effect.
2. Closing;
Delivery of Securities.
(a) The
closing of the issuance and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby (the “Closing” and the date on which
the Closing actually occurs, the “Closing Date”) is contingent upon the consummation of the Transaction Closing.
The Closing shall occur on the date of, and simultaneously with, the Transaction Closing.
(b) If,
after the date of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date, the Company effects a reverse share split or consolidation of the
Ordinary Shares (the “AIM Reverse Split”), then, with effect from the effective date of the AIM Reverse Split:
(i) the
aggregate number of Securities to be subscribed for by each Subscriber shall be reduced by dividing that number by the number of existing
Ordinary Shares being consolidated into one new Ordinary Share pursuant to the AIM Reverse Split (as determined by the board of
directors of the Company and announced via a UK Regulatory Information Service announcement) (the “Share Consolidation Ratio”),
rounded down to the nearest whole number; and
(ii) the
Purchase Price shall be increased to an amount equal to the Purchase Price multiplied by the Share Consolidation Ratio, in each case
such that the aggregate purchase price for the Securities subscribed for by each Subscriber (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”)
remains unchanged. The Company shall notify each Subscriber in writing of the adjusted number of Securities and adjusted Purchase Price
per Security promptly following the effectiveness of the AIM Reverse Split.
(c) If,
at the time of the Closing, the ratio of ADS per Ordinary Share is not the Assumed ADS Ratio (an “ADS Ratio Adjustment”),
then:
(i) the
aggregate number of ADSs to be subscribed for by each Subscriber that is acquiring ADSs shall be adjusted by dividing (A) the number
of Underlying Ordinary Shares such Subscriber would have received (after giving effect to any AIM Reverse Split) by (B) the ADS ratio
as revised pursuant to the ADS Ratio Adjustment (the “Adjusted ADS Ratio”), rounded down to the nearest whole
number of ADSs; and
2
(ii) the
Purchase Price per ADS shall be adjusted to an amount equal to the Purchase Price per Ordinary Share (after giving effect to any AIM
Reverse Split) multiplied by the Adjusted ADS Ratio, in each case such that the Aggregate Purchase Price remains unchanged. The Company
shall notify each Subscriber in writing of the adjusted number of ADSs and adjusted Purchase Price per ADS promptly following the effectiveness
of the ADS Ratio Adjustment.
(d) The
Company shall provide written notice (via email) to Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”) that the Company reasonably
expects the Transaction Closing to be completed on a date specified in the Closing Notice (the “Scheduled Closing Date”)
that is not less than seven (7) business days after the date of the Closing Notice, which Closing Notice shall contain the Company’s
wire instructions for an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) established by the Company with a third-party
escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) to be identified in the Closing Notice. At least two (2) business days prior
to the Scheduled Closing Date (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company), Subscriber shall deliver to the Escrow Account
the Aggregate Purchase Price by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds. The wire transfer shall identify
Subscriber, and unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Escrow Agent, the funds shall be wired from an account in Subscriber’s
name. Upon the Closing, the Company shall provide instructions to the Escrow Agent to release the funds in the Escrow Account to the
Company against the issuance of and delivery to Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) of (i) a number
of Ordinary Shares, registered in the name of the Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions), equal to
the number of Ordinary Shares set forth opposite the name of such Subscriber under the heading “Number of Ordinary Shares”
as is set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement, (ii) a number of ADSs, registered in the name of the Subscriber
(or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions), equal to the number of ADSs set forth opposite the name of such Subscriber
under the heading “Number of ADSs” as is set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement, and/or (iii) a number
of Non-Voting Ordinary Shares, registered in the name of the Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions),
equal to the number of Non-Voting Ordinary Shares set forth opposite the name of such Subscriber under the heading “Number of Non-Voting
Ordinary Shares” as is set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement, if any. The Securities shall be delivered
free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those arising under U.S. state or federal securities laws or
those incurred by Subscriber). The RADRs shall be separately identified in uncertificated form on the books of the Depositary Bank and
the Underlying Ordinary Shares so deposited shall, to the extent required by law, be held separate and distinct from the other ADSs held
under the Deposit Agreement. The RADRs may become eligible for inclusion in an applicable book-entry settlement system upon compliance
with the procedures set forth in the RADR Letter Agreement. The Non-Voting Ordinary Shares shall be held in certificated form or in CREST
(at the Subscriber’s election) as set forth in Section 2(g) with respect to the Ordinary Shares, and in certificated form as set
forth in Section 2(h) below with respect to the Non-Voting Ordinary Shares.
(e)
Prior to the Transaction Closing, the Company shall cause a sponsored American depositary receipt facility to be established with a reputable
bank (such bank or any successor depositary bank, the “Depositary Bank”) for the purpose of issuing the ADSs. Once such facility
is established, the Company shall deposit, on behalf of the Subscriber, the Underlying Ordinary Shares in respect of the ADSs with the
Depositary Bank, which shall issue and deliver the ADSs to the Subscribers.
(f) Promptly
after the Closing, the ADSs shall be issued in the form of uncertificated securities identified on the books of the Depositary Bank.
(g) The
Ordinary Shares shall be delivered either in uncertificated form in CREST or in certificated form, at each Subscriber’s election:
(i) Uncertificated
Form. If the Ordinary Shares are to be delivered in uncertificated form, the Company shall procure that its registrar allots
and issues the Ordinary Shares promptly following Closing to the CREST account designated by the relevant Subscriber by written notice
to the Company prior to Closing, on a “free of payment” basis.
3
(ii)
Certificated Form. If the Ordinary Shares are to be delivered in certificated form, the Company shall procure that its registrar
shall register the relevant Subscribers (or their nominee(s), as applicable) as holders of the relevant Ordinary Shares on the Closing
Date and send share certificates in respect of the Ordinary Shares to the relevant Subscribers (at the addresses advised in writing by
each such Subscriber to the Company prior to the Closing Date) within fourteen days of the Closing Date.
(h) The
Non-Voting Ordinary Shares shall be delivered in certificated form and the Company shall procure that its registrar shall register the
relevant Subscribers (or their nominee(s), as applicable) as holders of the relevant Non-Voting Ordinary Shares on the Closing Date and
send share certificates in respect of the Non-Voting Ordinary Shares to the relevant Subscribers (at the addresses advised in writing
by each such Subscriber to the Company prior to the Closing Date) within fourteen days of the Closing Date.
(i) In
connection with the entry into the Deposit Agreement, the RADR Letter Agreement and issuance of Securities, the Subscriber shall provide
to the Company and the Depositary Bank the following documents:
(i) Information
required by the Company in connection with its instruction letter to the Depositary Bank, including applicable tax IDs or social security
numbers;
(ii) Forms
W-8 or W-9, as applicable;
(iii) Any
information required under the “know your customer” policies of the Depositary Bank, the Company or any of their respective
agents; and
(iv) Any
other information and documentation reasonably requested by the Company and the Depositary Bank, including any documentation required
by the Depositary Bank in connection with the Deposit Agreement and RADR Letter Agreement that is reasonably necessary to comply with
applicable law or reasonably necessary for the issuance or delivery of the Securities or applicable tax reporting or withholding requirements.
(j) The
failure of the Closing to occur on the Scheduled Closing Date shall not terminate this Subscription Agreement or otherwise relieve any
party of any of its obligations hereunder, and any such termination will occur solely pursuant to Section 7 below. If (i) this
Subscription Agreement is terminated according to its terms prior to the Closing or (ii) the Closing Date does not occur within two (2)
business days after the Scheduled Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company
and Subscriber, and in either case, any funds have already been sent by Subscriber to the Escrow Account, then the Company shall or shall
instruct the Escrow Agent to promptly (but not later than, in the case of the preceding clause (i), two (2) business days after such
termination or, in the case of the preceding clause (ii), four (4) business days after the Scheduled Closing Date specified in the Closing
Notice), return the funds delivered by Subscriber for payment of the Securities by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the
account specified in writing by Subscriber (provided, that the failure of the Closing Date to occur within such two (2) business day
period and the return of the relevant funds shall not relieve Subscriber from its obligations under this Subscription Agreement for a
subsequently rescheduled Closing Date determined by the Company in good faith).
(k) Simultaneously
with the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement, each Subscriber shall deliver to the Company a duly completed and executed
U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or appropriate Form W-8, as applicable.

that are the subject of this Subscription Agreement (including the issuance of the Ordinary Shares (including the Underlying Ordinary
Shares), the issuance and sale of the ADSs and the issuance and sale of the Non-Voting Ordinary Shares) and the Transaction Agreement
in compliance herewith will be done in accordance with Nasdaq rules and the AIM Rules for Companies (the “AIM Rules”),
and none of the foregoing will result in (i) a material breach or material violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute
a material default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, license, lease
or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its
subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject, which would be a Company Material Adverse
Effect or materially affect the validity of the Non-Voting Ordinary Shares, the ADSs and the Ordinary Shares (including the Underlying
Ordinary Shares) or the legal authority or ability of the Company to perform in all material respects its obligations under this Subscription
Agreement or the Transaction Agreement; (ii) any material violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of the Company;
or (iii) any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic
or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties that would be a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(g) Other
than with Leerink Partners LLC, TD Securities (USA) LLC and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, in their capacity as placement agents (each,
a “Placement Agent” and collectively, the “Placement Agents”), the Company has not
entered into any agreement or arrangement entitling any agent, broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other person to any broker’s
or finder’s fee or any other commission or similar fee in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement,
including for which Subscriber would be reasonably expected to become liable (it being understood that Subscriber will effectively bear
its pro rata share of any such expense indirectly as a result of its investment in the Company).
(h) The
Company is not, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Securities, will not be, an “investment company” within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(i) Assuming
the accuracy of Subscriber’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 in all material respects, in connection
with the offer, sale and delivery of the Securities in the manner contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, it is not necessary to
register the Non-Voting Ordinary Shares, the ADSs or the Ordinary Shares (including the Underlying Ordinary Shares) under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Securities (i) were not offered to Subscriber by any form
of general solicitation or general advertising, including methods described in Section 502(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act
and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act,
or any state securities laws.
(j) The
offer, sale and delivery of the Securities in the manner contemplated by this Subscription Agreement will not require the publication
of a prospectus by the Company under the UK Public Offers and Admissions to Trading Regulations 2024 (the “UK POATRs”)
or Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 14, 2017 on the prospectus to be published when securities
are offered to the public or admitted to trading on a regulated market (the “EU Prospectus Regulation”).
(k) On
or after the date hereof, the Company or its affiliates may enter into other subscription agreements, side letters or similar agreements
or understandings (collectively, “Other Subscription Agreements”) with any other subscribers (collectively,
“Other Subscribers”) for Securities (or other securities). Other than the Other Subscription Agreements and
the Transaction Agreement, the Company has not entered into any similar agreement with any Other Subscriber in connection with the Offering.
The Other Subscription Agreements reflect (or will reflect in the future) the same Purchase Price, and no Other Subscription Agreement
includes (or will include in the future) terms and conditions that are materially more advantageous to any such Other Subscriber than
Subscriber hereunder, unless Subscriber has been offered the substantially similar benefits, and such Other Subscription Agreements have
not been amended, modified or waived (and will not be in the future) in any material respect following the date of this Subscription
Agreement unless Subscriber has been offered a substantially similar amendment. It is acknowledged that, separate from the Offering,
(i) the Company will launch a placing of Ordinary Shares to certain institutional investors effected by way of an accelerated book build
in the United Kingdom contemporaneously with the announcement of the Transaction Agreement and the Offering at the GBP equivalent of
the Purchase Price which placing will not be conditional upon closing of the Transaction Agreement or this Offering and (ii) the Company
intends to offer Ordinary Shares to existing and/or new retail investors outside of the United States prior to closing of the Transaction
Agreement and this Offering in a separate retail offer at the GBP equivalent of the Purchase Price.
8
(l) Except
for such matters as have not had and would not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse
Effect or materially affect the validity of the Non-Voting Ordinary Shares, the ADSs, the Ordinary Shares (including the Underlying Ordinary
Shares) or the legal authority or ability of the Company to perform in all material respects its obligations under this Subscription
Agreement or the Transaction Agreement, as of the date hereof, there is no (i) action, suit, claim or other proceeding by or before any
governmental or other regulatory or self-regulatory agency, entity or body with authority or jurisdiction over the Company, pending,
or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing against the Company, or (ii) judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order
of any governmental entity or arbitrator outstanding against the Company.
(m) The
Company is not required to obtain any material consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or
registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or other person
in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription Agreement, including the issuance of the Securities (other
than (i) filings required by the Securities Act or the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”),
(ii) filings required by applicable state securities laws, the U.K. Companies Act 2006, Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament
and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on market abuse as it forms part of retained EU law in the United Kingdom by virtue of the European
Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (“UK MAR”) or the AIM Rules, (iii) application for admission of the Ordinary Shares
(including the Underlying Ordinary Shares) to trading on AIM, a market of the London Stock Exchange plc (“AIM”)
prior to Closing (iv) the filings required in accordance with Section 6, (v) consents or notices required for the consummation
of the Transaction as contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, (vi) those required by Nasdaq, (vii) compliance with and filings pursuant
to applicable antitrust or other competition laws, and (viii) consents or other approvals, waivers or authorizations required for the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement that the Company reasonably expects to receive on or prior
to the Closing), in each case, other than those the failure of which to obtain would not reasonably be expected to result in, individually
or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.
(n) Neither
the Company nor any person acting on its behalf has, directly or indirectly, at any time within the past 30 calendar days, made any offer
or sale of any security or solicitation of any offer to buy any security under circumstances that would (i) eliminate the availability
of the exemption from registration under Regulation D under the Securities Act in connection with the offer and sale by the Company as
contemplated hereby or the other securities as contemplated by the Other Subscription Agreements or (ii) cause the offering of the Securities
pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or the other securities pursuant to the Other Subscription Agreements to be integrated with any
prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions. Neither the Company
nor any person acting on its behalf (other than the Placement Agents and their respective persons acting on their behalf in such capacity),
has offered or sold or will offer or sell any securities, or has taken or will take any other action, which would reasonably be expected
to subject the offer, issuance or sale of the Securities or the other securities, as contemplated pursuant to this Subscription Agreement
to the registration provisions of the Securities Act.
(o) [Reserved].
(p) The
Company is in compliance with all applicable laws, except where such non-compliance would not be reasonably likely to be a Company Material
Adverse Effect. The Company has not received any written communication from a governmental authority that alleges that the Company is
not in compliance with or is in default or violation of any applicable law, except where such non-compliance, default or violation would
not reasonably be expected to be, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.
(q) Upon
consummation of the Transaction and filing of the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, it is intended that
the ADSs will be registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”) and approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance.
(r) Neither
the Company nor any of its controlled affiliates (i) is, or will be at or immediately after the Closing, a person of a country of concern,
as such term is defined in 31 C.F.R. § 850.221 (a “Covered Person”), (ii) directly or indirectly hold,
or will hold at or immediately after the Closing, a board seat on, a voting or equity interest in, or any contractual power to direct
or cause the direction of the management or policies of, any Covered Person or (iii) is engaged, or has plans to engage, or will be engaged
at or immediately after the Closing, directly or indirectly, in a “covered activity,” as such term is defined in 31 C.F.R.
§ 850.208.
9
(s) Neither
the Company nor any person acting on its behalf has engaged in any “directed selling efforts” (as defined in Rule 902(c)
of Regulation S) with respect to the Securities offered to non-U.S. investors pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.
(t) The
Company understands that the foregoing representations and warranties shall be deemed material to and have been relied upon by Subscriber.
5. Subscriber
Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company and each of the Placement Agents
as follows, and makes the following covenants:
(a) Subscriber
is either a U.S. investor or non-U.S. investor as set forth under its name on the signature page hereto, and accordingly represents the
applicable additional matters under clause (i) or (ii) below:
(i) Applicable
to U.S. investors: At the time Subscriber was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof, Subscriber is (A) (i) a “qualified
institutional buyer” (within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an institutional “accredited investor”
(within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), (7), (8), (9) and (12) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) as indicated in the
questionnaire attached as Exhibit A hereto and (ii) a “qualified investor” as defined under Article 2 of the EU Prospectus
Regulation, and (B) is not an underwriter (as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act) and is acquiring the Securities only
for its own account and not for the account of others, and not on behalf of any other account or person or with a view to, or for offer
or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act. Subscriber is not an entity formed for the specific
purpose of acquiring the Securities.
(ii) Applicable
to non-U.S. investors (including investors from the United Kingdom): Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the sale of the Securities
is made pursuant to and in reliance upon Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”).
Subscriber is not a U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S), it is acquiring the Securities only for its own account in an offshore
transaction in reliance on Regulation S, and it has received all the information that it considers necessary and appropriate to decide
whether to acquire the Securities hereunder outside of the United States. If the Subscriber is a person in a member state of the European
Economic Area, the Subscriber is a “qualified investor” as defined under Article 2 of the EU Prospectus Regulation. If the
Subscriber is a person in the United Kingdom, such investor is a “qualified investor” as defined in paragraph 15 of Schedule
1 of the UK POATRs who (i) has professional experience in matters relating to investments falling within the definition of “investment
professionals” in Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (the “Order”)
and/or (ii) is a high net worth body corporate, unincorporated association and partnership and trustee of high value trusts as described
in Article 49(2)(a) to (d) of the Order.
(iii)
Subscriber is not relying on any statements or representations made in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby other than
the representations contained in this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that securities sold pursuant to Regulation
S may be subject to restrictions thereunder, including compliance with the distribution compliance period provisions therein.
10
(b) Subscriber
acknowledges and agrees that the Securities are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of
the Securities Act and that the Securities delivered at the Closing will not have been registered under the Securities Act. No prospectus
will be produced in connection with the Offering in the United Kingdom or in any member state of the European Economic Area. Subscriber
acknowledges and agrees that Securities sold to Subscribers that are U.S. investors shall be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration
under the Securities Act may not be resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by such Subscriber absent an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act except (i) to the Company or a subsidiary thereof or (ii) pursuant to an applicable exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states
and other jurisdictions of the United States, and that any certificates (if any) or any uncertificated or book-entry shares representing
the Securities delivered at the Closing to Subscribers that are U.S. investors may contain a legend or restrictive notation to such effect.
Subscriber acknowledges that such Securities will not immediately be eligible for resale pursuant to an effective resale registration
statement or Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”). Subscriber acknowledges and agrees
that such Securities, until registered under an effective registration statement, will be subject to transfer restrictions (regardless
of whether or not the Securities contain a restrictive legend) and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, Subscriber may not be
able to readily resell the Securities and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in such Securities for an indefinite
period of time. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale,
pledge or transfer of any of such Securities. Subscriber understands that the Offering of the Securities hereunder meets the exemptions
from filing under FINRA Rule 5123(b)(1)(C) or (J). Subscriber (i) is an institutional account as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c), (ii)
is a sophisticated investor, experienced in investing in private placements of equity securities and capable of evaluating investment
risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities
and (iii) has exercised independent judgment in evaluating its participation in the purchase of the Securities. Accordingly, Subscriber
understands that the Offering meets (i) the exemptions from filing under FINRA Rule 5123(b)(1)(A) and (ii) the institutional customer
exemption under FINRA Rule 2111(b).
(c) If,
in the future, the Subscriber decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Securities, or any economic interest therein,
Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that such Securities or any economic interest therein may be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred
only: (i) in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act; (ii) to a person whom the beneficial owner and/or any person acting
on its behalf reasonably believes is a qualified institutional buyer in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A under the
Securities Act; or (iii) in accordance with Rule 144 (if available), in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of
any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction. The Subscriber (i) understands that none of the Company, the Placement Agents,
any of their affiliates or other persons acting on their behalf makes any representation to the Subscriber as to the availability of
any exemption under the Securities Act for the reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer of the Securities and (ii) agrees to notify any transferee
to whom the Subscriber subsequently offers, sells, pledges or otherwise transfers any of the Securities pursuant to Rule 144A of the
restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 5(c). The Company acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the Securities may be pledged by Subscriber, e.g., in connection with a bona fide margin agreement, and the Subscriber
effecting a pledge of Securities shall not be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery
to the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement. The Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee
of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with such pledge of Securities by the Subscriber.
(d) Subscriber
acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber is purchasing Securities directly from the Company. Subscriber further acknowledges that, other
than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company included in this Subscription Agreement, there have been
no representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made to Subscriber by the Company, Neuphoria, the Placement Agents, the Company’s
AIM Nominated Adviser, Panmure Liberum Limited, or their respective officers or directors and/or their respective advisors (including,
without limitation, attorneys, accountants, bankers, consultants and financial advisors), agents, control persons, representatives, affiliates,
managers, members, and/or employees, and/or the representatives of such persons, or any other party to the Transaction, person or entity,
expressly or by implication. Except for the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company expressly set forth in this Subscription
Agreement, Subscriber is relying exclusively on its own sources of information, investment analysis and due diligence (including professional
advice it deems appropriate) with respect to the Transaction, the Securities and the business, condition (financial and otherwise), management,
operations, properties and prospects of the Company, including all business, legal, regulatory, accounting, credit and tax matters; provided,
that neither the due diligence investigation conducted by Subscriber in connection with making its decision to acquire the Securities
nor any representations and warranties made by Subscriber herein shall modify, amend or affect Subscriber’s right to rely on the
truth, accuracy and completeness of the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein.
11
(e) In
connection with money laundering and terrorist financing, the Subscriber has complied with its obligations under the Proceeds of Crime
Act 2002, the Terrorism Act 2000, the Terrorism Act 2006, the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information
on the Payer) 2017 Regulations, and any other applicable law.
(f) Neither
the Subscriber nor any of its officers, directors, managers, managing members, general partners or any other person acting in a similar
capacity or carrying out a similar function, is (i) a person named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons
administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive
Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person prohibited
by any OFAC sanctions program, or any similar list of sanctioned persons administered by the European Union or the United Kingdom (collectively,
“Sanctions Lists”), (ii) directly or indirectly 50% or more owned or otherwise controlled by, or acting on
behalf of, one or more persons that are named on the Sanctions Lists, (iii) organized, incorporated, established, located, resident or
born in, or a citizen, national, or the government, including any political subdivision, agency, or instrumentality thereof, of, Cuba,

or subject to substantial trade restrictions by the United States, the European Union or the United Kingdom, (iv) a Designated National
as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, or (v) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly
to a non-U.S. shell bank (collectively, a “Prohibited Subscriber”). Subscriber agrees to provide law enforcement
agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that Subscriber is permitted to do so under applicable
law. If Subscriber is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.), as amended by
the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), Subscriber
maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. To the extent
required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the Sanctions Lists. To
the extent required, it maintains procedures that it reasonably believes to be in compliance with sanctions programs administered by
the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom, and it shall comply with such sanctions programs to which it is legally
subject and with which it is legally obligated to comply. To the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed
to ensure that the funds held by Subscriber and used to purchase the Securities were legally derived and were not obtained, directly
or indirectly, from a Prohibited Subscriber.
(g) Subscriber
acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber has received such information as Subscriber deems necessary in order to make an investment decision
with respect to the Securities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber acknowledges that it has received and reviewed
(to the extent that Subscriber deems it necessary) the following items (collectively, the “Disclosure Documents”):
(i) all information the Company has been required to publish or make available via a UK Regulatory Information Service pursuant to the
AIM Rules and/or UK MAR since April 30, 2021 through the date of this Subscription Agreement, (ii) each report, form, statement, schedule,
prospectus, proxy, registration statement and other document required to be filed or furnished by Neuphoria with the SEC since its initial
registration of securities with the SEC through the date of this Subscription Agreement, (iii) the Transaction Agreement, and (iv) the
investor presentation by the Company dated June 2026 (the “Investor Presentation”). Subscriber understands
the significant extent to which certain of the disclosures contained in items (i) and (ii) above shall not apply following the Transaction
Closing. Subscriber represents and agrees that Subscriber and Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity
to ask the Company’s management questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as Subscriber and such Subscriber’s
professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Securities. Subscriber has
conducted its own investigation of the Company and the Securities and Subscriber has made its own assessment and has satisfied itself
concerning the relevant tax and other economic considerations relevant to its investment in the Securities. Subscriber acknowledges that
Subscriber shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on Subscriber by reason of Subscriber’s acquisition, ownership or disposition
of the Securities, and that none of the Company, Neuphoria, the Placement Agents or their respective affiliates or advisors have provided
any tax advice or any other representations or guarantee regarding the tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription
Agreement. In particular, Subscriber shall pay, and shall reimburse or indemnify (as appropriate) the Company for, any amounts in respect
of United Kingdom stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax arising in connection with (i) the redesignation of Non-Voting Ordinary Shares
held by Subscriber to Ordinary Shares, and (ii) the deposit by or on behalf of Subscriber of any Non-Voting Ordinary Shares (or of any
Ordinary Shares following a redesignation of Non-Voting Ordinary Shares) with the Company’s Depositary Bank in exchange for ADSs.
Subscriber acknowledges that it has reviewed the documents made available to Subscriber by the Company to the extent that Subscriber
deems it necessary. Subscriber further acknowledges that the information contained in the Disclosure Documents is subject to change,
and that any changes to the information contained in the Disclosure Documents, including any changes based on updated information or
changes in terms of the Transaction, shall in no way affect Subscriber’s obligation to purchase the Securities hereunder, except
as otherwise provided herein, and that, in purchasing the Securities, Subscriber is not relying upon any projections contained in the
Investor Presentation.
12
(h) Subscriber
acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber is purchasing the Securities directly from the Company. Subscriber became aware of the Offering
of the Securities solely by means of direct contact from the Placement Agents or directly from the Company or Neuphoria as result of
a pre-existing, substantive relationship with the Company, Neuphoria or the Placement Agents, and/or their respective advisors (including,
without limitation, attorneys, accountants, bankers, consultants and financial advisors), agents, control persons, representatives, affiliates,
directors, officers, managers, members, and/or employees, and/or the representatives of such persons. Subscriber acknowledges that the
Company represents and warrants that the Securities (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and
(ii) to the Company’s knowledge, are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation
of, the UK POATRs, the EU Prospectus Regulation, the Securities Act or any state securities laws. Subscriber has a pre-existing relationship
with the Company, Neuphoria or one or more of their respective affiliates or advisors, including the Placement Agents and/or their respective
representatives. The Securities were offered to Subscriber solely by direct contact between Subscriber and the Company, Neuphoria, the
Placement Agents and/or their respective representatives. Subscriber did not become aware of this Offering of the Securities, nor were
the Securities offered to Subscriber, by any other means, and none of the Company, Neuphoria, the Placement Agents and/or their respective
representatives acted as investment advisor, broker or dealer to Subscriber. The Subscriber is not purchasing the Securities as a result
of any general or public solicitation or general advertising, or publicly disseminated advertisement, article, notice or other communication
regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television, radio or the internet or
presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement, including any of the methods described in Section
502(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
(i) Reserved.
(j) Subscriber
acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Securities, including those
set forth in the Disclosure Documents. Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable
of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities, and Subscriber has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice
as Subscriber has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision. Subscriber (i) is a sophisticated investor, experienced
in investing in private placement transactions and capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard
to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities, and (ii) has exercised independent judgment in evaluating
its participation in the purchase of the Securities. Subscriber has determined based on its own independent review and such professional

applicable to Subscriber, (iii) have been duly authorized and approved by all necessary action, (iv) do not and will not materially violate

the Placement Agents for all or part of any such loss or losses Subscriber may suffer, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not
limit any claims Subscriber may have against the Company or Neuphoria for fraud, willful misconduct, or intentional misrepresentation.
Subscriber represents that: (i) it is able to sustain a complete loss on its investment in the Securities; (ii) has no immediate need
for liquidity with respect to its investment in the Securities; and (iii) has no reason to anticipate any change in circumstances, financial
or otherwise, which may cause or require any sale or distribution of all or any part of the Securities.
13
(k) Alone,
or together with any professional advisor(s), Subscriber has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the
Securities and determined that the Securities are a suitable investment for Subscriber and that Subscriber is able at this time and in
the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of Subscriber’s investment in the Company. Subscriber acknowledges
specifically that the possibility of total loss of the Aggregate Purchase Price exists.
(l) In
making its decision to purchase the Securities, Subscriber has relied solely upon independent investigation made by Subscriber and the
representations and warranties of the Company expressly set forth in Section 4 hereof. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that

or determination as to the fairness of this investment or the accuracy or adequacy of the Disclosure Documents. Subscriber acknowledges
that none of the Placement Agents has prepared any of the Disclosure Documents.
(n) If
an entity, Subscriber has been duly formed or incorporated and is validly existing in good standing (or the equivalent thereof if and
to the extent that “good standing” is not recognized under the laws of such jurisdiction) under the laws of its jurisdiction
of incorporation or formation. Subscriber has the power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform Subscriber’s obligations
under this Subscription Agreement.
(o) The
execution, delivery and performance by Subscriber of this Subscription Agreement are within the powers of Subscriber, have been duly
authorized and will not constitute or result in a breach or default under or conflict with any law, statute, rule or regulation applicable
to Subscriber, any order, ruling or regulation of any court or other tribunal or of any governmental commission or agency, or any agreement
or other undertaking, in any material respects, to which Subscriber is a party or by which Subscriber is bound, and, if Subscriber is
not an individual, will not violate any provisions of Subscriber’s organizational documents. The signature on this Subscription
Agreement, whether original, electronic, or transmitted electronically, is valid and binding, and the signatory, if Subscriber is an
individual, has legal competence and capacity to execute the same or, if Subscriber is not an individual the signatory has been duly
authorized to execute the same, and, upon its due execution by the parties hereto, this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid
and binding obligation of Subscriber, enforceable against Subscriber in accordance with its terms.
(p) [Reserved].

acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of equity securities of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1)
under the Exchange Act).
(t) If,
solely for purposes of clause (i) below, Subscriber is an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement

a non-U.S. plan (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the foregoing but may be subject to provisions
under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code,
or an entity whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement (each,
a “Plan”) subject to the fiduciary or prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code,
Subscriber represents and warrants that (i) neither the Company, nor any of its respective affiliates has acted as the Plan’s fiduciary,
or has been relied on for advice, with respect to its decision to acquire and hold the Securities, and none of the Company or any of
its respective affiliates shall at any time be relied upon as the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire, continue
to hold or transfer the Securities and (ii) the acquisition and holding of the Securities by Subscriber or any affiliate thereof will
not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code, or any applicable
similar law.
(u) Subscriber
understands that the foregoing representations and warranties shall be deemed material to and have been relied upon by the Company.
(v) Subscriber
acknowledges that Leerink Partners LLC is acting as financial advisor to the Company in connection with the Transaction. Subscriber further
acknowledges that no Placement Agent is acting as an underwriter or will otherwise be construed as a fiduciary for Subscriber in connection
with the Transaction.
(w) Subscriber
is not under any binding obligation, either on the date hereof or on the Closing, to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of the Securities
acquired pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, other than binding commitments it may have to transfer and/or pledge such Securities
to a prime broker under and in accordance with its prime brokerage agreement with such broker.
(x) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Subscription Agreement shall prohibit Subscriber from (i) entering into hedging transactions
with respect to the securities of the Company or Neuphoria, including, but not limited to, purchasing put options, entering into swap
agreements, or engaging in short sales with respect to any securities other than the specific securities to be acquired in this Offering
(i.e., for the avoidance of doubt, Subscriber may engage in short sales or other hedging transactions with respect to securities of the
same class or type as the Securities), or (ii) lending any securities to third parties, provided that, in each case, Subscriber shall
remain obligated to deliver the Aggregate Purchase Price and consummate the Closing in accordance with the terms hereof.
(y) Subscriber
understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch
as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable
regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the 1933 Act only in certain limited circumstances. Subscriber understands
that such Ordinary Shares (including Underlying Ordinary Shares) shall not be deposited in any depositary facility established or maintained
by a depositary bank unless it is a restricted depositary facility.
15
(z) It
is understood that, except as provided below, the RADRs shall contain a legend in the form set forth in the RADR Letter and certificates
of Ordinary Shares or Non-Voting Ordinary Shares or book-entry positions evidencing the Securities may bear the following or any similar
legend:
“THESE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY
STATE BUT HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND, ACCORDINGLY,
MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (I) SUCH SECURITIES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED FOR SALE PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, (II)
SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144, (III) THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT
THAT SUCH TRANSFER MAY LAWFULLY BE MADE WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (IV) THE SECURITIES ARE
TRANSFERRED WITHOUT CONSIDERATION TO AN AFFILIATE OF SUCH HOLDER OR A CUSTODIAL NOMINEE (WHICH FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT SHALL REQUIRE
NEITHER CONSENT NOR THE DELIVERY OF AN OPINION).
NO
REPRESENTATION CAN BE MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF THE EXEMPTION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 OR ANY OTHER EXEMPTION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OR OF ANY EXEMPTIONS UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE REOFFER, RESALE,
PLEDGE OR OTHER TRANSFER OF THE AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES REPRESENTING ORDINARY SHARES BY THE HOLDER. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE
CONTRARY IN THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE DEPOSITED INTO ANY UNRESTRICTED DEPOSITARY RECEIPT FACILITY IN
RESPECT OF THE SECURITIES ESTABLISHED OR MAINTAINED BY A DEPOSITARY BANK. THE HOLDER, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF SECURITIES, REPRESENTS THAT
IT UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES TO THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.”
16
6. Registration
Rights.
(a) The
Company agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days after the Transaction Closing (the “Filing Deadline”),
it will file or confidentially submit with the SEC a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”)
registering the resale of ADSs, Ordinary Shares and Non-Voting Ordinary Shares (and any ADSs issued by the Depositary Bank following
a redesignation of such Non-Voting Ordinary Shares as Ordinary Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Company’s articles
of association then in force) (“Registrable Securities”) that are not eligible for resale without an effective
registration statement covering the resale of such Securities or without an available exemption from registration under the Securities
Act allowing the resale of such Securities without limitation, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration
Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof but in any event no later than (i) the sixtieth (60th)
calendar day following the Transaction Closing, or (ii) the ninetieth (90th) calendar day following the Transaction Closing
if the SEC notifies the Company that it will review the Registration Statement. For the avoidance of doubt, all Securities issued and
sold to U.S. Subscribers pursuant to this Agreement shall be Registrable Securities. The Company will use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such Registration Statement or another registration statement (which may be a “shelf” registration statement)
to remain effective and free of any material misstatement or omission with respect to the Registrable Securities until the earliest of
(i) two years from the issuance of the Securities, (ii) the date on which Subscriber ceases to hold the Registrable Securities covered
by such Registration Statement, or (iii) the first date on which Subscriber can sell all of its Registrable Securities under Rule 144
without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold and without any current public information
requirements. For as long as the Registration Statement shall remain effective pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company
shall use its best efforts to file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the undersigned
to resell Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act (when resales under Rule
144 under the Securities Act become available with respect to the Securities), as applicable, qualify Registrable Securities for listing
on the Nasdaq, and update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include the Registrable Securities. Subscriber agrees to
disclose its beneficial ownership, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of securities of the Company to
the Company (or its successor) upon reasonable request to assist the Company in making the determination described above. The Company’s
obligations to include the Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing
such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Company held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of Registrable
Securities as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities, and shall
execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling Security
holder in similar situations, provided that Subscriber shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up
or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Registrable Securities. Not
less than two (2) Business Days prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto with the SEC,
the Company shall provide Subscriber and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such Registration Statement
or amendment or supplement, and any related prospectus or supplement thereto, including, at minimum, the portions of any such Registration
Statement or prospectus describing Subscriber or the plan of distribution of the Registrable Securities. If the SEC prevents the Company
from including any or all of the Registrable Securities proposed to be registered for resale under the Registration Statement due to
limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Company securities by the applicable Security holders
or otherwise, (A) such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of the Company securities which is equal to the maximum
number of securities as is permitted by the SEC and (B) the number of the Company securities to be registered for each selling Security
holder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling Security holders and as promptly as practicable
after being permitted to register additional Securities under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Company shall amend the Registration
Statement or file a new Registration Statement (such amendment or new Registration Statement shall also be deemed to be a “Registration
Statement” hereunder) to register Registrable Securities not included in the initial Registration Statement and cause such Registration
Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable consistent with the terms of this Section 6. In no event shall Subscriber
be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the SEC; provided, that if the SEC requests
that Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, Subscriber will have an opportunity to withdraw
from the Registration Statement. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Company to file the Registration Statement by the
Filing Deadline shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to cause the Company to file the Registration Statement or
effect the registration of Registrable Securities set forth in this Section 6. For as long as Subscriber holds Registrable
Securities issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Company will use its best efforts to (A) make and keep public information
available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, (B) file in a timely manner all reports and other documents with the
SEC required under the Exchange Act, as long as the Company remains subject to such requirements, and (C) provide all customary and reasonable
cooperation necessary, in each case, to enable Subscriber to resell the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement
or Rule 144 (when Rule 144 becomes available to Subscriber), as applicable.
17
(b) During
a period of 90 days from the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Company will not issue any equity securities other than
(i) any Ordinary Shares issued by the Company upon the exercise of an option or warrant or the conversion of a security outstanding
on the effective date of the Registration Statement, (ii) any Ordinary Shares issued or options to purchase Ordinary Shares or other
equity awards covering Ordinary Shares granted pursuant to employee benefit plans of the Company, (iii) any Ordinary Shares issued
pursuant to any non-employee director stock plan or dividend reinvestment plan, (iv) the filing of a registration statement on Form
S-8 or any successor form thereto with respect to the registration of securities to be offered under any employee benefit or equity incentive
plans of the Company, (v) the issuance of Ordinary Shares, equity awards or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable
for Ordinary Shares in connection with (A) the acquisition of the securities, business, property or other assets of another person
or pursuant to any employee benefit plan assumed in connection with any such acquisition, (B) joint ventures, (C) commercial
relationships, (vi) any redesignation of Non-Voting Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement as Ordinary Shares,
by a Subscriber pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to any other exemption under the Securities Act such that the Subscriber acquires freely
tradable ADSs or (vii) other strategic transactions with a bona fide business purpose, provided that the aggregate number of Ordinary
Shares, equity awards and Ordinary Shares issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of securities (on an as converted or as
exercised basis, as the case may be) issued pursuant to this clause (vii) shall not exceed 10% of the total number of Ordinary Shares
issued and outstanding on the effective date of the Registration Statement. For purposes of this Section 6(b), references to Ordinary
Shares shall be deemed to include ADSs representing such underlying Ordinary Shares.
(c) The
Company shall, at its sole expense, advise Subscriber as promptly as practicable, and in any event, within five (5) business days: (i)
when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment thereto has become effective; (ii) after it shall have received notice or obtained knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the
SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;
(iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities
included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iv) subject to
the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration
Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein do not include any untrue statements of a material fact and
do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
to disclose the details of such event. Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in the foregoing clause (iv), except for such times
as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement,
the Company agrees that it shall, as soon as practicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare a post-effective amendment
to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter
delivered to purchasers of Registrable Securities included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading.
(d) The
Company may delay filing or suspend the use of any such registration statement if it determines in good faith that in order for the registration
statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, or if such filing or use could materially
affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company or would require premature disclosure of information that could materially
adversely affect the Company (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, that the Company shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to make such registration statement available for the sale by Subscriber of Registrable Securities
as soon as practicable thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) no Suspension Event shall continue for more than sixty (60) consecutive
calendar days, (y) the aggregate number of days during which Suspension Events are in effect shall not exceed ninety (90) calendar days
in any twelve (12)-month period, and (z) the Company may invoke a Suspension Event no more than three (3) times in any twelve (12)-month
period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration
Statement is effective, or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that it will
(i) immediately discontinue offers and sales of Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until Subscriber receives (A)
(x) copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or
omission(s) referred to above and (y) notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or (B) notice from the Company that
it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered
by the Company except (A) for disclosure to Subscriber’s affiliates, employees, agents and professional advisers who need to know
such information and are obligated to keep it confidential, (B) for disclosures to the extent required in order to comply with reporting
obligations to its limited partners who have agreed to keep such information confidential and (C) as otherwise required by applicable
law or subpoena. If so directed by the Company, Subscriber will deliver to the Company or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering
Registrable Securities in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of
the prospectus covering Registrable Securities shall not apply to (i) the extent Subscriber is required to retain copies of such prospectus
(A) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (B) in accordance with a bona
fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.
18
(e) Subscriber
may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that Subscriber not receive notices
from the Company otherwise required by Section 6; provided, however, that Subscriber may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice
in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from Subscriber (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Company shall not deliver any
such notices to Subscriber and Subscriber shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time
prior to Subscriber’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, Subscriber will notify the Company in writing at least
two business days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been
delivered but for the provisions of this Section 6(e)) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Company will so
notify Subscriber, within one (1) business day of Subscriber’s notification to the Company, by delivering to Subscriber a copy
of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide Subscriber with the related notice of the conclusion of such
Suspension Event immediately upon its availability.
(f) From
and after the Closing, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold Subscriber, each person, if any, who controls Subscriber within the meaning
of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of Subscriber within the meaning of
Rule 405 under the Securities Act, and each broker, placement agent or sales agent to or through which Subscriber effects or executes
the resale of any Registrable Securities (collectively, the “Subscriber Indemnified Parties”), harmless against
any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including any reasonable out-of-pocket legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by
Subscriber Indemnified Parties directly that are (i) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in the Registration Statement or any other registration statement which covers the Registrable Securities (including, in each case, the
prospectus contained therein) or any amendment thereof (including the prospectus contained therein) or (ii) caused by any omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading, except, in the cases of both (i) and (ii), to the extent
insofar as the same are (A) caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by Subscriber
for use therein, (B) in connection with any failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus in a timely manner,
(C) as a result of offers or sales effected by or on behalf of any person by means of a freewriting prospectus (as defined in Rule 405
under the Securities Act) that was not authorized in writing by the Company, or (D) in connection with any offers or sales effected by
or on behalf of Subscriber in violation of this Subscription Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company’s indemnification
obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent
of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). The Company shall notify Subscriber promptly
of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section
6 of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or
on behalf of an indemnified party.
(g) [Reserved]
(h) To
the extent Subscriber is identified as a selling stockholder in the Registration Statement or any other registration statement which
covers the Registrable Securities, Subscriber agrees to, severally and not jointly with any Other Subscriber in the Offering contemplated
hereby or any other selling Security holders using the applicable registration statement, indemnify and hold the Company, and the officers,
employees, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents of the Company, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of the Company within the meaning
of Rule 405 under the Securities Act (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”), harmless against any
and all Losses incurred by Company Indemnified Parties directly that are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any other registration statement which covers the Registrable Securities (including,
in each case, the prospectus contained therein) or any amendment thereof (including the prospectus contained therein) or caused by any
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading, in each case to the extent insofar as the same are caused
by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by Subscriber expressly for use therein. In no
event shall the liability of Subscriber under this Section 6(h) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds
received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Notwithstanding the
forgoing, Subscriber’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement
is effected without the prior written consent of Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).
19
7. Termination.
This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties
hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof (save for any obligations of the
Company in respect of the return of any monies paid by the Subscriber in connection herewith), upon the earliest to occur of: (a) the
mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement; (b) such date and time as the Transaction
Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; (c) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3 are not satisfied
or waived as of the Closing Date and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement will not be and
are not consummated as of the date of the Transaction Closing; or (d) written notice by either (x) the Company to Subscriber or (y) Subscriber
to the Company, if the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated on or prior to the End Date (as defined
in the Transaction Agreement); provided that (i) nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior
to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages
arising from such breach, and (ii) the provisions of Sections 7 through 10 of this Subscription Agreement will survive
any termination of this Subscription Agreement and continue indefinitely. The Company shall notify Subscriber of the termination of the
Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement. Upon the termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance
with this Section 7, any monies paid by Subscriber to the Company for the Aggregate Purchase Price hereunder shall be promptly
(and in any event within two business days) returned to Subscriber.
8. Reliance
by and Exculpation of Placement Agents.
(a) Each
Subscriber agrees for the express benefit of the Placement Agents, its affiliates and its representatives that (i) it is not relying
upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by the Placement Agents, any of its affiliates or any of
its or its representatives, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company, (ii) each Placement Agent is acting solely
as placement agent in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and is not acting as an underwriter, initial purchaser, dealer
or in any other such capacity and is not and shall not be construed as a fiduciary for such Subscriber, (iii) the Placement Agents, their
respective affiliates and representatives have not made, and will not make any representations or warranties with respect to the Company,
Neuphoria or the offer and sale of the Securities or any other matter concerning the Company, Neuphoria or the transactions contemplated
hereby, and Subscriber will not rely on any statements made by the Placement Agents, orally or in writing, to the contrary, (iv) Subscriber
will be responsible for conducting its own due diligence investigation with respect to the Company, Neuphoria and the offer and sale
of the Securities, (v) Subscriber will be purchasing Securities based on the results of its own due diligence investigation of the Company
and Neuphoria and the Placement Agents and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, and controlling
persons have made no independent investigation with respect to the Company, Neuphoria, the Securities, or the accuracy, completeness,
or adequacy of any information supplied to Subscriber by the Company or Neuphoria, (vi) Subscriber has negotiated the offer and sale
of the Securities directly with the Company, and the Placement Agents will not be responsible for the ultimate success of any such investment
and (vii) the decision to invest in the Company will involve a significant degree of risk, including a risk of total loss of such investment.
Each Subscriber further represents and warrants to the Placement Agents that it, including any fund or funds that it manages or advises
that participates in the offer and sale of the Securities, is permitted under its constitutive documents (including, without limitation,
all limited partnership agreements, charters, bylaws, limited liability company agreements, all applicable side letters with investors,
and similar documents) to make investments of the type contemplated by this Agreement. This Section 5(g) shall survive any termination
of this Subscription Agreement. This Section 8 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
20
(b) The
Company agrees and acknowledges that the Placement Agents may rely on its representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained
in this Agreement and each Subscriber agrees that the Placement Agents may rely on such Subscriber’s representations and warranties
contained in this Agreement as if such representations and warranties, as applicable, were made directly to the Placement Agent.
(c) Neither
the Placement Agents nor any of their respective affiliates or representatives (1) shall be liable for any improper payment made in accordance
with the information provided by the Company or Neuphoria; (2) make any representation or warranty, or have any responsibilities as to
the validity, enforceability, accuracy, value or genuineness of any information, certificates or documentation delivered by or on behalf
of the Company or Neuphoria pursuant to the Subscription Agreement or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated therein;
or (3) shall be liable (x) for any action taken, suffered or omitted by any of them in good faith and reasonably believed to be authorized
or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by the Subscription Agreement or (y) for anything which any of them may
do or refrain from doing in connection with the Subscription Agreement, except in each case for such party’s own gross negligence
or willful misconduct.
(d) The
Company agrees that the Placement Agents, their respective affiliates and representatives shall be entitled to (1) rely on, and shall
be protected in acting upon, any certificate, instrument, notice, letter or any other document or security delivered to any of them by
or on behalf of the Company, and (2) be indemnified by the Company for acting as the Placement Agents hereunder pursuant to the indemnification
provisions set forth in the applicable letter agreement between the Company and the Placement Agents.
9. Miscellaneous.
(a) All
payments and deliveries under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of withholding or deduction unless required by applicable law.
(b) The
Company shall not consent or agree to amend, alter, waive or otherwise modify the terms of any of the Lock-Up Agreements (as
defined in the Transaction Agreement) without the consent of the Placement Agents.
(c) Neither
this Subscription Agreement nor any rights or obligations that may accrue to Subscriber hereunder (other than the Securities acquired
hereunder, if any, subject to applicable securities laws) may be transferred or assigned by Subscriber without the prior written consent
of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and any purported transfer or assignment without such
consent shall be null and void ab initio. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscriber may assign its rights and obligations under
this Subscription Agreement to one or more funds or accounts managed by the investment manager or investment advisor that manages Subscriber
(or an affiliate that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such investment manager or investment advisor), provided,
in each case, that any assignee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms hereof as if it were an original party hereto and that no
such assignment shall relieve Subscriber of its obligations hereunder if any such assignee fails to perform such obligations.
(d) The
Company may request from Subscriber such additional information as the Company may reasonably deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility
of Subscriber to acquire the Securities, and Subscriber shall provide such information to the Company promptly upon such request, it
being understood by Subscriber that the Company may without any liability hereunder reject Subscriber’s subscription prior to the
Closing Date in the event Subscriber fails to provide such additional information requested by the Company to evaluate Subscriber’s
eligibility or the Company determines that Subscriber is not eligible. The Company agrees to keep any such additional information confidential
(except as may be required by applicable law or administrative or legal proceeding). On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company and
Subscriber shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional actions as the parties reasonably may deem to
be practical and necessary in order to consummate the subscription as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.
21
(e) Subscriber
acknowledges that the Company, Neuphoria, the Placement Agents and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements,
representations and warranties of Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement as if they were made directly to them. Prior to
the Closing, Subscriber agrees to promptly notify the Company and the Placement Agents if any of the acknowledgments, understandings,
agreements, representations and warranties set forth herein are no longer accurate such that the conditions set forth in Sections
3(b)(i) and 3(b)(ii) would not be satisfied as of the Closing Date. Subscriber agrees that the purchase by Subscriber of Securities
from the Company will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein
(as modified by any such notice) by Subscriber as of the time of such purchase, unless such acknowledgments, understandings, agreements,
representations and warranties herein have been given as of a certain date. Each of the Company and Subscriber acknowledges and agrees
that Neuphoria and each Placement Agent are intended third-party beneficiaries of the representations, warranties and covenants of the
Company contained in Section 4 and Subscriber contained in Section 5 of this Subscription Agreement and its express rights
set forth in Section 10, and that Neuphoria is otherwise an express third-party beneficiary of this Subscription Agreement, entitled
to enforce the terms hereof against Subscriber as if it was an original party hereto. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Subscription
Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successor and assigns.
Prior to the Closing, the Company agrees to promptly notify Subscriber and the Placement Agents if any of the acknowledgments, understandings,
agreements, representations and warranties set forth herein are no longer accurate in a manner that would have or would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.
(f) Each
of the Company, Neuphoria, and each Placement Agent is entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and is irrevocably authorized
to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official
inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby. Subscriber shall not issue any press release or make any other similar public statement
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the Company (which may be given via email by
authorized Representatives) (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(g) All
the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.
(h) This
Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified, waived or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against
whom enforcement of such modification, waiver, or termination is sought; provided, however, that no modification or waiver by the Company
of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement prior to the Transaction Closing shall be effective without the prior written consent
of Subscriber (other than modifications or waivers that are solely ministerial in nature or otherwise immaterial and do not affect any
economic or any other material term of this Subscription Agreement). The Company shall notify Subscriber of any such amendments, modifications,
waivers or terminations. No failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof,
nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or other exercise of any right, power
or privilege hereunder. Section 4, Section 5, Section 8, Section 9(d) and this Section 9(g) may not be amended, modified, terminated
or waived in any manner that is material and adverse to the Placement Agents without the written consent of each Placement Agent.
(i) This
Subscription Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and
warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof (other than any confidentiality agreement
entered into by the Company and Subscriber in connection with the Offering).
(j) This
Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators,
successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments
contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives
and permitted assigns.
22
(k) If
any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of
the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full
force and effect. Upon such determination that any provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties will substitute for any
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable,
the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.
(l) This
Subscription Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different
parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed

and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts seated in New

claim, legal action or other legal proceeding based hereon, or arising out of, under, or in connection with, this Subscription Agreement
or the transactions contemplated hereby.

to Subscriber or any of its affiliates, attorneys, agents or representatives contains MNPI, the Company shall, prior to the delivery

related to the Transaction via a Regulatory Information Service as required by UK MAR, and file or cause to be filed such reports or
documents with the SEC as shall be necessary to publicly disclose, to the extent legally permissible, any MNPI previously provided to
Subscriber or its representatives by the Company or its representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii) “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”)
means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding or succeeding such term and shall be deemed in each case
to be followed by the words “without limitation”; and (iii) the words “herein,” “hereto” and “hereby”
and other words of similar import in this Subscription Agreement shall be deemed in each case to refer to this Subscription Agreement
as a whole and not to any particular portion of this Subscription Agreement. As used in this Subscription Agreement, the term: (A) “trading

10. Independent
Nature of Investment. The obligations of Subscriber under this Subscription Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations
of any Other Subscriber under the Other Subscription Agreements, and Subscriber shall not be responsible in any way for the performance
of the obligations of any Other Subscriber under the Other Subscription Agreements. The decision of Subscriber to purchase Securities
pursuant to this Subscription Agreement has been made by Subscriber independently of any Other Subscriber and independently of any information,
materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition
(financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company, Neuphoria or any of their respective subsidiaries which may have been made or given
by any Other Subscriber or by any agent, employee or other representative of any Other Subscriber, and neither Subscriber nor any of
its agents, employees or other representatives shall have any liability to any Other Subscriber (or any other person) relating to or
arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Other Subscription Agreement,
and no action taken by Subscriber or Other Subscriber pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Subscriber and Other
Subscribers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that Subscriber and
Other Subscribers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by
this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements. Subscriber acknowledges that no Other Subscriber has acted as agent
for Subscriber in connection with making its investment hereunder and no Other Subscriber will be acting as agent of Subscriber in connection
with monitoring its investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under this Subscription Agreement. For administrative convenience
only, each Subscriber and its respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through the legal counsel of a Placement
Agent. The legal counsel of each Placement Agent does not represent any of the Subscribers and only represents such Placement Agent.
Subscriber shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights under this Subscription Agreement, and it shall not be necessary
for any Other Subscriber to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

INDIVIDUAL SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
July 23, 2026
Scancell Holdings plc
Bellhouse Building
Sanders Road
Oxford Science Park
Oxford OX 4 4GD
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with the proposed
merger (the “Transaction”) among Scancell Holdings plc, a public limited company incorporated under the laws
of England and Wales (the “Company”), Scancell Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly
owned Subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Neuphoria Therapeutics Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Neuphoria”,
and together with the Company and Merger Sub, the “Parties” and each a “Party”), in
connection with that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Neuphoria, the Company and Merger Sub, dated as of July 23, 2026
(as it may be amended, restated and/or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Transaction Agreement”),
the Company is seeking commitments to purchase (i) the Company’s ordinary shares of £0.001 in the capital of the Company (the
“Ordinary Shares”) (ii) the Company’s American Depositary Shares (the “ADS”),
representing Ordinary Shares (with the Ordinary Shares representing such ADSs being the “Underlying Ordinary Shares”);
and / or (iii) the Company’s non-voting ordinary shares, £0.001 per non-voting ordinary share (the “Non-Voting
Ordinary Shares” and, together with the Ordinary Shares and the ADSs, the “Securities”), for a
purchase price of $0.1205 per Security (the “Purchase Price”), in a private placement to be consummated by the
Company prior to or concurrently with the closing of the Transaction (the “Offering”) in accordance with the
terms of the Transaction Agreement. The Company expects that it will effect a reverse share split or consolidation of its Ordinary Shares
prior to the Closing. For the effects of any such changes, please refer to Section 2(b). For purposes of the Purchase Price, the parties
assume that each ADS represents one Ordinary Share at the time of the Closing (such ratio of Ordinary Shares per ADS, the “Assumed
ADS Ratio”), which is subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2(c).
In accordance with the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction Closing”) and in accordance
with the Transaction Agreement, among other matters, (i) Merger Sub will merge with and into Neuphoria, with Neuphoria being the surviving
corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company; (ii) the Company shall cause a sponsored American depositary receipt facility
to be established with a reputable bank (such bank or any successor depositary bank, the “Depositary Bank”)
for the purpose of issuing the ADSs; (iii) the ADSs offered and sold pursuant to this Agreement will not be registered and will be issued
as restricted securities (“RADRs”) pursuant to (i) the deposit agreement to be entered into by and among the
Company, the Depositary Bank, and holders and beneficial owners of the ADSs (the “Deposit Agreement”) and (ii)
a letter agreement (the “RADR Letter Agreement”) between the Company and the Depositary Bank that supplements
the Deposit Agreement to establish procedures with respect to the RADRs; and (iv) following effectiveness of a resale registration statement
as contemplated by Section 6 herein and compliance with the procedures in the RADR Letter for, among other things, removal of restrictions
that attach to the RADRs, the RADRs will be cancelled and the Depositary Bank will issue freely transferable ADSs in respect thereof,
which will be listed for trading on the Nasdaq Global Market (the “Nasdaq”).
References in this Individual
Subscription Agreement (the “Individual Subscription Agreement”) to (1) the Company issuing and selling ADSs
to the undersigned subscriber (“Subscriber”), and similar or analogous expressions, shall be understood to include
references to the Company allotting and issuing the new Underlying Ordinary Shares to the Depositary Bank and procuring the issue of ADSs
representing such Underlying Ordinary Shares by the Depositary Bank or its nominee to the relevant Subscriber; and (2) the purchase of,
or payment for, any ADSs, and similar or analogous expressions, shall be understood to refer to the subscription for the Underlying Ordinary
Shares underlying those ADSs, as well as deposit of the Underlying Ordinary Shares for ADSs, and the payment of the subscription monies
in respect of such ADSs.
References in this Individual
Subscription Agreement to (1) the Company issuing and selling Ordinary Shares and/or Non-Voting Ordinary Shares to the Subscriber and/or
to the Subscriber purchasing, or paying for, Ordinary Shares and/or Non-Voting Ordinary Shares, and similar or analogous expressions,
shall be understood to refer to the Company allotting and issuing the new Ordinary Shares and/or Non-Voting Ordinary Shares to the Subscriber
or its nominees and (2) the purchase price for an Ordinary Share or a Non-Voting Ordinary Share shall be understood to refer to the subscription
price per Ordinary Share or Non-Voting Ordinary Share.
In connection with the Transaction,
and in consideration of the agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the Subscriber and the Company agree in this Individual Subscription Agreement as follows:
1. Subscription.
As of the date hereof, Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company agrees to
issue and sell to Subscriber upon payment of the Purchase Price, (i) such number of Ordinary Shares set forth opposite the name of such
Subscriber under the heading “Number of Ordinary Shares”, (ii) such number of ADSs set forth opposite the name of such Subscriber
under the heading “Number of ADSs” and/or (iii) such number of Non-Voting Ordinary Shares set forth opposite the name of such
Subscriber under the heading “Number of Non-Voting Ordinary Shares” as is set forth on the signature page of this Individual
Subscription Agreement, at the Purchase Price per Security and on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for herein. The Company
acknowledges and agrees that the Subscriber reserves the right, by notice in writing to the Company no later than 3 business days prior
to Closing, to adjust the “Number of ADSs” and “Number of Non-Voting Ordinary Shares”, in each case, as set forth
opposite the name of such Subscriber, provided that the aggregate number of Securities shall remain the same. Subscriber acknowledges
and agrees that the Company reserves the right to accept or reject Subscriber’s subscription for the Securities for any reason or
for no reason, in whole or in part, at any time prior to its acceptance by the Company, and the same shall be deemed to be accepted by
the Company only when this Individual Subscription Agreement is signed by a duly authorized person by or on behalf of the Company. If
this Individual Subscription Agreement is terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, Subscriber and each beneficial purchaser, if
any, for whom Subscriber is acting as agent or trustee, understands that any funds, certified checks, or bank drafts delivered by Subscriber
representing the Purchase Price for the Securities will be promptly returned to Subscriber without deduction, and this Individual Subscription
Agreement shall have no force or effect.
2. Closing;
Delivery of Securities.
(a) The
closing of the issuance and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby (the “Closing” and the date on which
the Closing actually occurs, the “Closing Date”) is contingent upon the consummation of the Transaction Closing.
The Closing shall occur on the date of, and simultaneously with, the Transaction Closing.
(b) If,
after the date of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date, the Company effects a reverse share split or consolidation of the
Ordinary Shares (the “AIM Reverse Split”), then, with effect from the effective date of the AIM Reverse Split:
(i) the
aggregate number of Securities to be subscribed for by the Subscriber shall be reduced by dividing that number by the number of existing
Ordinary Shares being consolidated into one new Ordinary Share pursuant to the AIM Reverse Split (as determined by the board of directors
of the Company and announced via a UK Regulatory Information Service announcement) (the “Share Consolidation Ratio”),
rounded down to the nearest whole number; and
(ii) the
Purchase Price shall be increased to an amount equal to the Purchase Price multiplied by the Share Consolidation Ratio, in each case such
that the aggregate purchase price for the Securities subscribed for by the Subscriber (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”)
remains unchanged. The Company shall notify the Subscriber in writing of the adjusted number of Securities and adjusted Purchase Price
per Security promptly following the effectiveness of the AIM Reverse Split.
(c) If,
at the time of the Closing, the ratio of ADS per Ordinary Share is not the Assumed ADS Ratio (an “ADS Ratio Adjustment”),
then:
(i) the
aggregate number of ADSs to be subscribed for by the Subscriber that is acquiring ADSs shall be adjusted by dividing (A) the number of
Underlying Ordinary Shares such Subscriber would have received (after giving effect to any AIM Reverse Split) by (B) the ADS ratio as
revised pursuant to the ADS Ratio Adjustment (the “Adjusted ADS Ratio”), rounded down to the nearest whole number
of ADSs; and
2
(ii) the
Purchase Price per ADS shall be adjusted to an amount equal to the Purchase Price per Ordinary Share (after giving effect to any AIM Reverse
Split) multiplied by the Adjusted ADS Ratio, in each case such that the Aggregate Purchase Price remains unchanged. The Company shall
notify the Subscriber in writing of the adjusted number of ADSs and adjusted Purchase Price per ADS promptly following the effectiveness
of the ADS Ratio Adjustment.
(d) The
Company shall provide written notice (via email) to Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”) that the Company reasonably
expects the Transaction Closing to be completed on a date specified in the Closing Notice (the “Scheduled Closing Date”)
that is not less than seven (7) business days after the date of the Closing Notice, which Closing Notice shall contain the Company’s
wire instructions for an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) established by the Company with a third-party
escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) to be identified in the Closing Notice. At least two (2) business days prior
to the Scheduled Closing Date (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company), Subscriber shall deliver to the Escrow Account the
Aggregate Purchase Price by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds. The wire transfer shall identify Subscriber,
and unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Escrow Agent, the funds shall be wired from an account in Subscriber’s name.
Upon the Closing, the Company shall provide instructions to the Escrow Agent to release the funds in the Escrow Account to the Company
against the issuance of and delivery to Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) of (i) a number of Ordinary
Shares, registered in the name of the Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions), equal to the number of
Ordinary Shares set forth opposite the name of such Subscriber under the heading “Number of Ordinary Shares” as is set forth
on the signature page of this Individual Subscription Agreement, (ii) a number of ADSs, registered in the name of the Subscriber (or its
nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions), equal to the number of ADSs set forth opposite the name of such Subscriber under
the heading “Number of ADSs” as is set forth on the signature page of this Individual Subscription Agreement, and/or (iii)
a number of Non-Voting Ordinary Shares, registered in the name of the Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions),
equal to the number of Non-Voting Ordinary Shares set forth opposite the name of such Subscriber under the heading “Number of Non-Voting
Ordinary Shares” as is set forth on the signature page of this Individual Subscription Agreement, if any. The Securities shall be
delivered free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those arising under U.S. state or federal securities
laws or those incurred by Subscriber). The RADRs shall be separately identified in uncertificated form on the books of the Depositary
Bank and the Underlying Ordinary Shares so deposited shall, to the extent required by law, be held separate and distinct from the other
ADSs held under the Deposit Agreement. The RADRs may become eligible for inclusion in an applicable book-entry settlement system upon
compliance with the procedures set forth in the RADR Letter Agreement. The Non-Voting Ordinary Shares shall be held in certificated form
or in CREST (at the Subscriber’s election) as set forth in Section 2(g) with respect to the Ordinary Shares, and in certificated
form as set forth in Section 2(h) below with respect to the Non-Voting Ordinary Shares.
(e)
Prior to the Transaction Closing, the Company shall cause a sponsored American depositary receipt facility to be established with a reputable
bank (such bank or any successor depositary bank, the “Depositary Bank”) for the purpose of issuing the ADSs. Once such facility
is established, the Company shall deposit, on behalf of the Subscriber, the Underlying Ordinary Shares in respect of the ADSs with the
Depositary Bank, which shall issue and deliver the ADSs to the Subscriber.
(f) Promptly
after the Closing, the ADSs shall be issued in the form of uncertificated securities identified on the books of the Depositary Bank.
(g) The
Ordinary Shares shall be delivered either in uncertificated form in CREST or in certificated form, at the Subscriber’s election:
(i) Uncertificated
Form. If the Ordinary Shares are to be delivered in uncertificated form, the Company shall procure that its registrar allots
and issues the Ordinary Shares promptly following Closing to the CREST account designated by the Subscriber by written notice to the Company
prior to Closing, on a “free of payment” basis.
3
(ii) Certificated
Form. If the Ordinary Shares are to be delivered in certificated form, the Company shall procure that its registrar shall register
the Subscriber (or their nominee(s), as applicable) as holders of the relevant Ordinary Shares on the Closing Date and send share certificates
in respect of the Ordinary Shares to the Subscriber (at the addresses advised in writing by the Subscriber to the Company prior to the
Closing Date) within fourteen days of the Closing Date.
(h) The
Non-Voting Ordinary Shares shall be delivered in certificated form and the Company shall procure that its registrar shall register the
Subscriber (or their nominee(s), as applicable) as holders of the relevant Non-Voting Ordinary Shares on the Closing Date and send share

(g) The
Company has not entered into any agreement or arrangement entitling any agent, broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other person
to any broker’s or finder’s fee or any other commission or similar fee in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Individual Subscription Agreement, including for which Subscriber would be reasonably expected to become liable (it being understood
that Subscriber will effectively bear its pro rata share of any such expense indirectly as a result of its investment in the Company).
(h) The
Company is not, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Securities, will not be, an “investment company” within the
meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(i) Assuming
the accuracy of Subscriber’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 in all material respects, in connection
with the offer, sale and delivery of the Securities in the manner contemplated by this Individual Subscription Agreement, it is not necessary
to register the Non-Voting Ordinary Shares, the ADSs or the Ordinary Shares (including the Underlying Ordinary Shares) under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Securities (i) were not offered to Subscriber by any form
of general solicitation or general advertising, including methods described in Section 502(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act
and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act,
or any state securities laws.
(j) The
offer, sale and delivery of the Securities in the manner contemplated by this Individual Subscription Agreement will not require the publication
of a prospectus by the Company under the UK Public Offers and Admissions to Trading Regulations 2024 (the “UK POATRs”)
or Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 14, 2017 on the prospectus to be published when securities
are offered to the public or admitted to trading on a regulated market (the “EU Prospectus Regulation”).
(k) On
or after the date hereof, the Company or its affiliates may enter into other subscription agreements, side letters or similar agreements
or understandings (collectively, “Other Subscription Agreements”) with any other subscribers (collectively,
“Other Subscribers”) for Securities (or other securities). Other than the Other Subscription Agreements and
the Transaction Agreement, the Company has not entered into any similar agreement with any Other Subscriber in connection with the Offering.
The Other Subscription Agreements reflect (or will reflect in the future) the same Purchase Price, and no Other Subscription Agreement
includes (or will include in the future) terms and conditions that are materially more advantageous to any such Other Subscriber than
Subscriber hereunder, unless Subscriber has been offered the substantially similar benefits, and such Other Subscription Agreements have
not been amended, modified or waived (and will not be in the future) in any material respect following the date of this Individual Subscription
Agreement unless Subscriber has been offered a substantially similar amendment. It is acknowledged that, separate from the Offering, (i)
the Company will launch a placing of Ordinary Shares to certain institutional investors effected by way of an accelerated book build in
the United Kingdom contemporaneously with the announcement of the Transaction Agreement and the Offering at the GBP equivalent of the
Purchase Price which placing will not be conditional upon closing of the Transaction Agreement or this Offering and (ii) the Company intends
to offer Ordinary Shares to existing and/or new retail investors outside of the United States prior to closing of the Transaction Agreement
and this Offering in a separate retail offer at the GBP equivalent of the Purchase Price.
(l) Except
for such matters as have not had and would not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse
Effect or materially affect the validity of the Non-Voting Ordinary Shares, the ADSs, the Ordinary Shares (including the Underlying Ordinary
Shares) or the legal authority or ability of the Company to perform in all material respects its obligations under this Individual Subscription
Agreement or the Transaction Agreement, as of the date hereof, there is no (i) action, suit, claim or other proceeding by or before any
governmental or other regulatory or self-regulatory agency, entity or body with authority or jurisdiction over the Company, pending, or,
to the knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing against the Company, or (ii) judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order of any
governmental entity or arbitrator outstanding against the Company.

(m) The
Company is not required to obtain any material consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration
with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or other person in connection
with the execution, delivery and performance of this Individual Subscription Agreement, including the issuance of the Securities (other
than (i) filings required by the Securities Act or the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”),
(ii) filings required by applicable state securities laws, the U.K. Companies Act 2006, Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament
and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on market abuse as it forms part of retained EU law in the United Kingdom by virtue of the European
Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (“UK MAR”) or the AIM Rules, (iii) application for admission of the Ordinary Shares

of the Transaction as contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, (vi) those required by Nasdaq, (vii) compliance with and filings pursuant
to applicable antitrust or other competition laws, and (viii) consents or other approvals, waivers or authorizations required for the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Individual Subscription Agreement that the Company reasonably expects to receive
on or prior to the Closing), in each case, other than those the failure of which to obtain would not reasonably be expected to result
in, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.
(n) Neither
the Company nor any person acting on its behalf has, directly or indirectly, at any time within the past 30 calendar days, made any offer
or sale of any security or solicitation of any offer to buy any security under circumstances that would (i) eliminate the availability
of the exemption from registration under Regulation D under the Securities Act in connection with the offer and sale by the Company as
contemplated hereby or the other securities as contemplated by the Other Subscription Agreements or (ii) cause the offering of the Securities
pursuant to this Individual Subscription Agreement or the other securities pursuant to the Other Subscription Agreements to be integrated
with any prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions. Neither
the Company nor any person acting on its behalf, has offered or sold or will offer or sell any securities, or has taken or will take any
other action, which would reasonably be expected to subject the offer, issuance or sale of the Securities or the other securities, as
contemplated pursuant to this Individual Subscription Agreement to the registration provisions of the Securities Act.
(o) [Reserved].
(p) The
Company is in compliance with all applicable laws, except where such non-compliance would not be reasonably likely to be a Company Material
Adverse Effect. The Company has not received any written communication from a governmental authority that alleges that the Company is
not in compliance with or is in default or violation of any applicable law, except where such non-compliance, default or violation would
not reasonably be expected to be, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.
(q) Upon
consummation of the Transaction and filing of the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, it is intended that
the ADSs will be registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”) and approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance.

the Company nor any of its controlled affiliates (i) is, or will be at or immediately after the Closing, a person of a country of concern,
as such term is defined in 31 C.F.R. § 850.221 (a “Covered Person”), (ii) directly or indirectly hold,

at or immediately after the Closing, directly or indirectly, in a “covered activity,” as such term is defined in 31 C.F.R.

the Company nor any person acting on its behalf has engaged in any “directed selling efforts” (as defined in Rule 902(c) of
Regulation S) with respect to the Securities offered to non-U.S. investors pursuant to this Individual Subscription Agreement.
(t) The
Company understands that the foregoing representations and warranties shall be deemed material to and have been relied upon by Subscriber.

is either a U.S. investor or non-U.S. investor as set forth under its name on the signature page hereto, and accordingly represents the
applicable additional matters under clause (i) or (ii) below:
(i) Applicable
to U.S. investors: At the time Subscriber was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof, Subscriber is (A) an “accredited
investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, as indicated in the questionnaire attached

(ii) Applicable
to non-U.S. investors (including investors from the United Kingdom): Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the sale of the Securities
is made pursuant to and in reliance upon Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”).
Subscriber is not a U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S), it is acquiring the Securities only for its own account in an offshore transaction
in reliance on Regulation S, and it has received all the information that it considers necessary and appropriate to decide whether to

(b) Subscriber
acknowledges and agrees that the Securities are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of
the Securities Act and that the Securities delivered at the Closing will not have been registered under the Securities Act. No prospectus

under the Securities Act may not be resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by such Subscriber absent an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act except (i) to the Company or a subsidiary thereof or (ii) pursuant to an applicable exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states
and other jurisdictions of the United States, and that any certificates (if any) or any uncertificated or book-entry shares representing

statement or Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”). Subscriber acknowledges and agrees
that such Securities, until registered under an effective registration statement, will be subject to transfer restrictions (regardless

able to readily resell the Securities and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in such Securities for an indefinite
period of time. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale,
pledge or transfer of any of such Securities. Subscriber (i) is a sophisticated investor, experienced in investing in private placements

on its behalf reasonably believes is a qualified institutional buyer in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A under the
Securities Act; or (iii) in accordance with Rule 144 (if available), in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of
any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction. The Subscriber (i) understands that none of the Company or any of its affiliates
or other persons acting on their behalf makes any representation to the Subscriber as to the availability of any exemption under the Securities
Act for the reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer of the Securities and (ii) agrees to notify any transferee to whom the Subscriber subsequently
offers, sells, pledges or otherwise transfers any of the Securities pursuant to Rule 144A of the restrictions on transfer set forth in
this Section 5(c). The Company acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Securities may
be pledged by Subscriber, e.g., in connection with a bona fide margin agreement, and the Subscriber effecting a pledge of Securities shall
not be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Individual
Subscription Agreement. The Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably
request in connection with such pledge of Securities by the Subscriber.

matters; provided, that neither the due diligence investigation conducted by Subscriber in connection with making its decision to acquire
the Securities nor any representations and warranties made by Subscriber herein shall modify, amend or affect Subscriber’s right
to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein.
(e) In
connection with money laundering and terrorist financing, the Subscriber has complied with its obligations under the Proceeds of Crime
Act 2002, the Terrorism Act 2000, the Terrorism Act 2006, the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information

if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that Subscriber is permitted to do so under applicable law,
and it shall comply with such sanctions programs to which it is legally subject and with which it is legally obligated to comply. To the
extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by Subscriber and used to purchase
the Securities were legally derived and were not obtained, directly or indirectly, from a Prohibited Subscriber.

acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber has received such information as Subscriber deems necessary in order to make an investment decision
with respect to the Securities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber acknowledges that it has received and reviewed
(to the extent that Subscriber deems it necessary) the following items (collectively, the “Disclosure Documents”):

AIM Rules and/or UK MAR since April 30, 2021 through the date of this Individual Subscription Agreement, (ii) each report, form, statement,
schedule, prospectus, proxy, registration statement and other document required to be filed or furnished by Neuphoria with the SEC since
its initial registration of securities with the SEC through the date of this Individual Subscription Agreement, (iii) the Transaction
Agreement, and (iv) the investor presentation by the Company dated June 2026 (the “Investor Presentation”).
Subscriber understands the significant extent to which certain of the disclosures contained in items (i) and (ii) above shall not apply
following the Transaction Closing. Subscriber represents and agrees that Subscriber and Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if
any, have had the full opportunity to ask the Company’s management questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as
Subscriber and such Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect
to the Securities. Subscriber has conducted its own investigation of the Company and the Securities and Subscriber has made its own assessment
and has satisfied itself concerning the relevant tax and other economic considerations relevant to its investment in the Securities. Subscriber
acknowledges that Subscriber shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on Subscriber by reason of Subscriber’s acquisition, ownership
or disposition of the Securities, and that none of the Company, Neuphoria, or their respective affiliates or advisors have provided any
tax advice or any other representations or guarantee regarding the tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Individual
Subscription Agreement. In particular, Subscriber shall pay, and shall reimburse or indemnify (as appropriate) the Company for, any amounts
in respect of United Kingdom stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax arising in connection with (i) the redesignation of Non-Voting Ordinary
Shares held by Subscriber to Ordinary Shares, and (ii) the deposit by or on behalf of Subscriber of any Non-Voting Ordinary Shares (or
of any Ordinary Shares following a redesignation of Non-Voting Ordinary Shares) with the Company’s Depositary Bank in exchange for
ADSs. Subscriber acknowledges that it has reviewed the documents made available to Subscriber by the Company to the extent that Subscriber
deems it necessary. Subscriber further acknowledges that the information contained in the Disclosure Documents is subject to change, and
that any changes to the information contained in the Disclosure Documents, including any changes based on updated information or changes
in terms of the Transaction, shall in no way affect Subscriber’s obligation to purchase the Securities hereunder, except as otherwise
provided herein, and that, in purchasing the Securities, Subscriber is not relying upon any projections contained in the Investor Presentation.
12
(h) Subscriber
acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber is purchasing the Securities directly from the Company. Subscriber became aware of the Offering
of the Securities solely by means of direct contact from the Company or Neuphoria as result of a pre-existing, substantive relationship
with the Company or Neuphoria and/or their respective advisors (including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, bankers, consultants
and financial advisors), agents, control persons, representatives, affiliates, directors, officers, managers, members, and/or employees,
and/or the representatives of such persons. Subscriber acknowledges that the Company represents and warrants that the Securities (i) were
not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) to the Company’s knowledge, are not being offered
in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the UK POATRs, the EU Prospectus Regulation, the
Securities Act or any state securities laws. Subscriber has a pre-existing relationship with the Company, Neuphoria or one or more of
their respective affiliates or advisors. The Securities were offered to Subscriber solely by direct contact between Subscriber and the
Company and Neuphoria and/or their respective representatives. Subscriber did not become aware of this Offering of the Securities, nor
were the Securities offered to Subscriber, by any other means, and none of the Company and Neuphoria and/or their respective representatives
acted as investment advisor, broker or dealer to Subscriber. The Subscriber is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any general
or public solicitation or general advertising, or publicly disseminated advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding
the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television, radio or the internet or presented
at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement, including any of the methods described in Section 502(c) of
Regulation D under the Securities Act.
(i) [Reserved].
(j) Subscriber
acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Securities, including those
set forth in the Disclosure Documents. Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable
of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities, and Subscriber has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice
as Subscriber has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision. Subscriber (i) is a sophisticated investor, experienced
in investing in private placement transactions and capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard
to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities, and (ii) has exercised independent judgment in evaluating
its participation in the purchase of the Securities. Subscriber has determined based on its own independent review and such professional
advice as it deems appropriate that its purchase of the Securities and participation in the Offering (i) are consistent with its financial
needs, objectives and condition, and (ii) are a fit, proper and suitable investment for Subscriber, notwithstanding the substantial risks
inherent in investing in or holding the Securities. Subscriber acknowledges that each of Guggenheim Securities, LLC, Cantor Fitzgerald
& Co. and LifeSci Capital LLC, in their capacity as placement agents (each, a “Placement Agent” and collectively,
the “Placement Agents”), are acting in connection with the purchase of Securities by certain Other Subscribers
that qualify as “qualified institutional buyers” (within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or institutional
“accredited investors” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), (7), or (9) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
Subscriber further acknowledges that none of the Placement Agents or any of their respective affiliates is acting as placement agent to
Subscriber and that no solicitation or recommendation of any type has been made by any Placement Agent to Subscriber, provided, however,
that the foregoing shall not limit any claims Subscriber may have against the Company or Neuphoria for fraud, willful misconduct, or intentional
misrepresentation. Subscriber represents that: (i) it is able to sustain a complete loss on its investment in the Securities; (ii) has
no immediate need for liquidity with respect to its investment in the Securities; and (iii) has no reason to anticipate any change in
circumstances, financial or otherwise, which may cause or require any sale or distribution of all or any part of the Securities.
(k) Alone,
or together with any professional advisor(s), Subscriber has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the
Securities and determined that the Securities are a suitable investment for Subscriber and that Subscriber is able at this time and in
the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of Subscriber’s investment in the Company. Subscriber acknowledges
specifically that the possibility of total loss of the Aggregate Purchase Price exists.
(l) In
making its decision to purchase the Securities, Subscriber has relied solely upon independent investigation made by Subscriber and the
representations and warranties of the Company expressly set forth in Section 4 hereof. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that
Subscriber has (i) received, reviewed and understood the offering materials made available to Subscriber in connection with the Offering,
(ii) had access to, and an adequate opportunity to review, financial and other information as Subscriber deems necessary in order to make
an investment decision with respect to the Securities, (iii) had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company,
and (iv) conducted and completed Subscriber’s own independent due diligence with respect to the Transaction.
13
(m) Subscriber
understands and agrees that no federal, state, or other agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the Offering or made any findings
or determination as to the fairness of this investment or the accuracy or adequacy of the Disclosure Documents.
(n) The
Subscriber is of full age and has full legal capacity to enter into and perform this Individual Subscription Agreement. The Subscriber
is acting on its own behalf and not as nominee, agent or trustee for any other person.
(o) The
execution, delivery and performance by Subscriber of this Individual Subscription Agreement will not constitute or result in a breach
or default under or conflict with any law, statute, rule or regulation applicable to Subscriber, any order, ruling or regulation of any
court or other tribunal or of any governmental commission or agency, or any agreement or other undertaking, in any material respects,
to which Subscriber is a party or by which Subscriber is bound. The signature on this Individual Subscription Agreement, whether original,
electronic, or transmitted electronically, is valid and binding, and Subscriber has legal competence and capacity to execute the same,
and, upon its due execution by the parties hereto, this Individual Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation
of Subscriber, enforceable against Subscriber in accordance with its terms.
(p) [Reserved].
(q) Subscriber
acknowledges its obligations under applicable securities laws with respect to the treatment of non-public information relating to the
Company.
(r) Subscriber
has, and on each date any portion of the Aggregate Purchase Price would be required to be funded to the Company pursuant to this Individual
Subscription Agreement will have, sufficient immediately available funds to pay the Aggregate Purchase Price.
(s) Other
than with respect to its affiliates, Subscriber is not currently (and at all times through Closing will refrain from being or becoming)
a member of a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act or any successor provision)
acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of equity securities of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1)
under the Exchange Act).
(t) Subscriber
understands that the foregoing representations and warranties shall be deemed material to and have been relied upon by the Company.
(u) Subscriber
acknowledges that Leerink Partners LLC is acting as financial advisor to the Company in connection with the Transaction. Subscriber had
no contact with any Placement Agent with respect to the Securities.
(v) Subscriber
is not under any binding obligation, either on the date hereof or on the Closing, to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of the Securities
acquired pursuant to this Individual Subscription Agreement, other than binding commitments it may have to transfer and/or pledge such
Securities to a prime broker under and in accordance with its prime brokerage agreement with such broker.
(w) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Individual Subscription Agreement shall prohibit Subscriber from (i) entering into hedging
transactions with respect to the securities of the Company or Neuphoria, including, but not limited to, purchasing put options, entering
into swap agreements, or engaging in short sales with respect to any securities other than the specific securities to be acquired in this
Offering (i.e., for the avoidance of doubt, Subscriber may engage in short sales or other hedging transactions with respect to securities
of the same class or type as the Securities), or (ii) lending any securities to third parties, provided that, in each case, Subscriber
shall remain obligated to deliver the Aggregate Purchase Price and consummate the Closing in accordance with the terms hereof.
14
(x) Subscriber
acknowledges and agrees that it has not received any recommendation with respect to the Securities or the Transaction from the Placement
Agents and thus will not be deemed to form a relationship with the Placement Agents in connection with Subscriber’s purchase of
the Securities that would require the Placement Agents to treat Subscriber as a “retail customer” for purpose of Form CRS
pursuant to Rule 17a-14 of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it is not entitled to the protections
or disclosures required by Regulation Best Interest or Form CRS with respect to the purchase of the Securities.
(y) Subscriber
understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch
as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations
such securities may be resold without registration under the 1933 Act only in certain limited circumstances. Subscriber understands that
such Ordinary Shares (including Underlying Ordinary Shares) shall not be deposited in any depositary facility established or maintained
by a depositary bank unless it is a restricted depositary facility.
(z) It
is understood that, except as provided below, the RADRs shall contain a legend in the form set forth in the RADR Letter and certificates
of Ordinary Shares or Non-Voting Ordinary Shares or book-entry positions evidencing the Securities may bear the following or any similar
legend:
“THESE SECURITIES
REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE BUT
HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT
BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (I) SUCH SECURITIES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED FOR SALE PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, (II) SUCH
SECURITIES MAY BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144, (III) THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH
TRANSFER MAY LAWFULLY BE MADE WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (IV) THE SECURITIES ARE TRANSFERRED
WITHOUT CONSIDERATION TO AN AFFILIATE OF SUCH HOLDER OR A CUSTODIAL NOMINEE (WHICH FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT SHALL REQUIRE NEITHER CONSENT
NOR THE DELIVERY OF AN OPINION).
NO REPRESENTATION CAN BE
MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF THE EXEMPTION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 OR ANY OTHER EXEMPTION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OF ANY EXEMPTIONS
UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE REOFFER, RESALE, PLEDGE OR OTHER TRANSFER
OF THE AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES REPRESENTING ORDINARY SHARES BY THE HOLDER. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THE FOREGOING,
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE DEPOSITED INTO ANY UNRESTRICTED DEPOSITARY RECEIPT FACILITY IN RESPECT OF THE SECURITIES
ESTABLISHED OR MAINTAINED BY A DEPOSITARY BANK. THE HOLDER, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF SECURITIES, REPRESENTS THAT IT UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES
TO THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.”
15
6. Registration
Rights.
(a) The
Company agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days after the Transaction Closing (the “Filing Deadline”),
it will file or confidentially submit with the SEC a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering
the resale of ADSs, Ordinary Shares and Non-Voting Ordinary Shares (and any ADSs issued by the Depositary Bank following a redesignation
of such Non-Voting Ordinary Shares as Ordinary Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Company’s articles of association
then in force) (“Registrable Securities”) that are not eligible for resale without an effective registration
statement covering the resale of such Securities or without an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act allowing
the resale of such Securities without limitation, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement
declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof but in any event no later than (i) the sixtieth (60th) calendar
day following the Transaction Closing, or (ii) the ninetieth (90th) calendar day following the Transaction Closing if the SEC
notifies the Company that it will review the Registration Statement. For the avoidance of doubt, all Securities issued and sold to the
Subscriber pursuant to this Agreement, if applicable, and the Other Subscription Agreements shall be Registrable Securities. The Company
will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement or another registration statement (which may be a “shelf”
registration statement) to remain effective and free of any material misstatement or omission with respect to the Registrable Securities
until the earliest of (i) two years from the issuance of the Securities, (ii) the date on which Subscriber ceases to hold the Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement, or (iii) the first date on which Subscriber can sell all of its Registrable Securities
under Rule 144 without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold and without any current public
information requirements. For as long as the Registration Statement shall remain effective pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence,
the Company shall use its best efforts to file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable
the undersigned to resell Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act (when resales
under Rule 144 under the Securities Act become available with respect to the Securities), as applicable, qualify Registrable Securities
for listing on the Nasdaq, and update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include the Registrable Securities. Subscriber
agrees to disclose its beneficial ownership, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of securities of the
Company to the Company (or its successor) upon reasonable request to assist the Company in making the determination described above. The
Company’s obligations to include the Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing
in writing such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Company held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition
of Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities,
and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling
Security holder in similar situations, provided that Subscriber shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any
lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Registrable Securities.
Not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto with the
SEC, the Company shall provide Subscriber and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such Registration Statement
or amendment or supplement, and any related prospectus or supplement thereto, including, at minimum, the portions of any such Registration
Statement or prospectus describing Subscriber or the plan of distribution of the Registrable Securities. If the SEC prevents the Company
from including any or all of the Registrable Securities proposed to be registered for resale under the Registration Statement due to limitations
on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Company securities by the applicable Security holders or otherwise,
(A) such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of the Company securities which is equal to the maximum number of
securities as is permitted by the SEC and (B) the number of the Company securities to be registered for each selling Security holder named
in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling Security holders and as promptly as practicable after being
permitted to register additional Securities under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement
or file a new Registration Statement (such amendment or new Registration Statement shall also be deemed to be a “Registration Statement”
hereunder) to register Registrable Securities not included in the initial Registration Statement and cause such Registration Statement
to become effective as promptly as practicable consistent with the terms of this Section 6. In no event shall Subscriber be
identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the SEC; provided, that if the SEC requests that
Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, Subscriber will have an opportunity to withdraw from
the Registration Statement. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Company to file the Registration Statement by the Filing
Deadline shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to cause the Company to file the Registration Statement or effect
the registration of Registrable Securities set forth in this Section 6. For as long as Subscriber holds Registrable Securities
issued pursuant to this Individual Subscription Agreement, the Company will use its best efforts to (A) make and keep public information
available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, (B) file in a timely manner all reports and other documents with the
SEC required under the Exchange Act, as long as the Company remains subject to such requirements, and (C) provide all customary and reasonable
cooperation necessary, in each case, to enable Subscriber to resell the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement
or Rule 144 (when Rule 144 becomes available to Subscriber), as applicable.
16
(b) During
a period of 90 days from the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Company will not issue any equity securities other than
(i) any Ordinary Shares issued by the Company upon the exercise of an option or warrant or the conversion of a security outstanding
on the effective date of the Registration Statement, (ii) any Ordinary Shares issued or options to purchase Ordinary Shares or other
equity awards covering Ordinary Shares granted pursuant to employee benefit plans of the Company, (iii) any Ordinary Shares issued
pursuant to any non-employee director stock plan or dividend reinvestment plan, (iv) the filing of a registration statement on Form
S-8 or any successor form thereto with respect to the registration of securities to be offered under any employee benefit or equity incentive
plans of the Company, (v) the issuance of Ordinary Shares, equity awards or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable
for Ordinary Shares in connection with (A) the acquisition of the securities, business, property or other assets of another person
or pursuant to any employee benefit plan assumed in connection with any such acquisition, (B) joint ventures, (C) commercial
relationships, (vi) any redesignation of Non-Voting Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to this Individual Subscription Agreement as Ordinary
Shares, by the Subscriber pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to any other exemption under the Securities Act such that the Subscriber acquires
freely tradable ADSs or (vii) other strategic transactions with a bona fide business purpose, provided that the aggregate number
of Ordinary Shares, equity awards and Ordinary Shares issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of securities (on an as converted
or as exercised basis, as the case may be) issued pursuant to this clause (vii) shall not exceed 10% of the total number of Ordinary
Shares issued and outstanding on the effective date of the Registration Statement. For purposes of this Section 6(b), references
to Ordinary Shares shall be deemed to include ADSs representing such underlying Ordinary Shares.
(c) The
Company shall, at its sole expense, advise Subscriber as promptly as practicable, and in any event, within five (5) business days: (i)
when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment thereto has become effective; (ii) after it shall have received notice or obtained knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the
SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;
(iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities
included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iv) subject to
the provisions in this Individual Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any
Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein do not include any untrue statements of a material
fact and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of
a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to disclose the details of such event. Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in the foregoing clause (iv), except
for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration
Statement, the Company agrees that it shall, as soon as practicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare a post-effective
amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter
delivered to purchasers of Registrable Securities included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.
17
(d) The
Company may delay filing or suspend the use of any such registration statement if it determines in good faith that in order for the registration
statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, or if such filing or use could materially
affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company or would require premature disclosure of information that could materially
adversely affect the Company (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, that the Company shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to make such registration statement available for the sale by Subscriber of Registrable Securities
as soon as practicable thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) no Suspension Event shall continue for more than sixty (60) consecutive
calendar days, (y) the aggregate number of days during which Suspension Events are in effect shall not exceed ninety (90) calendar days
in any twelve (12)-month period, and (z) the Company may invoke a Suspension Event no more than three (3) times in any twelve (12)-month
period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration
Statement is effective, or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement
of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that it will (i) immediately
discontinue offers and sales of Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until Subscriber receives (A) (x) copies of a
supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred
to above and (y) notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or (B) notice from the Company that it may resume such
offers and sales, and (ii) maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company except
(A) for disclosure to Subscriber’s affiliates, agents and professional advisers who need to know such information and are obligated
to keep it confidential, (B) for disclosures to the extent required in order to comply with reporting obligations to its limited partners
who have agreed to keep such information confidential and (C) as otherwise required by applicable law or subpoena. If so directed by the
Company, Subscriber will deliver to the Company or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering Registrable Securities in Subscriber’s
possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering Registrable Securities
shall not apply to (i) the extent Subscriber is required to retain copies of such prospectus (A) in order to comply with applicable legal,
regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (B) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy
or (ii) copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.
(e) Subscriber
may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that Subscriber not receive notices
from the Company otherwise required by Section 6; provided, however, that Subscriber may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in
writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from Subscriber (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Company shall not deliver any such
notices to Subscriber and Subscriber shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior
to Subscriber’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, Subscriber will notify the Company in writing at least two
business days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered
but for the provisions of this Section 6(e)) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Company will so notify Subscriber,
within one (1) business day of Subscriber’s notification to the Company, by delivering to Subscriber a copy of such previous notice
of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide Subscriber with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event immediately
upon its availability.
(f) From
and after the Closing, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold Subscriber, and each affiliate of Subscriber within the meaning of Rule
405 under the Securities Act, and each broker, placement agent or sales agent to or through which Subscriber effects or executes the resale
of any Registrable Securities (collectively, the “Subscriber Indemnified Parties”), harmless against any and
all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including any reasonable out-of-pocket legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection
with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by Subscriber Indemnified
Parties directly that are (i) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement or any other registration statement which covers the Registrable Securities (including, in each case, the prospectus contained
therein) or any amendment thereof (including the prospectus contained therein) or (ii) caused by any omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made), not misleading, except, in the cases of both (i) and (ii), to the extent insofar as the same are (A) caused
by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by Subscriber for use therein, (B) in connection
with any failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus in a timely manner, (C) as a result of offers or sales
effected by or on behalf of any person by means of a freewriting prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that was
not authorized in writing by the Company, or (D) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of Subscriber in violation
of this Individual Subscription Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company’s indemnification obligations shall not apply
to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). The Company shall notify Subscriber promptly of the institution, threat or
assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 6 of which the Company
is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified
party.
18
(g) [Reserved]
(h) To
the extent Subscriber is identified as a selling stockholder in the Registration Statement or any other registration statement which covers
the Registrable Securities, Subscriber agrees to, severally and not jointly with any Other Subscriber in the Offering contemplated hereby
or any other selling Security holders using the applicable registration statement, indemnify and hold the Company, and the officers, employees,
directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents of the Company, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of the Company within the meaning of Rule
405 under the Securities Act (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”), harmless against any and all
Losses incurred by Company Indemnified Parties directly that are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in the Registration Statement or any other registration statement which covers the Registrable Securities (including, in
each case, the prospectus contained therein) or any amendment thereof (including the prospectus contained therein) or caused by any omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading, in each case to the extent insofar as the same are caused
by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by Subscriber expressly for use therein. In no
event shall the liability of Subscriber under this Section 6(h) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds
received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Notwithstanding the
forgoing, Subscriber’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement
is effected without the prior written consent of Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).
7. Termination.
This Individual Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations
of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof (save for any obligations
of the Company in respect of the return of any monies paid by the Subscriber in connection herewith), upon the earliest to occur of: (a)
the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Individual Subscription Agreement; (b) such date and time
as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; (c) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section
3 are not satisfied or waived as of the Closing Date and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Individual Subscription
Agreement will not be and are not consummated as of the date of the Transaction Closing; or (d) written notice by either (x) the Company
to Subscriber or (y) Subscriber to the Company, if the transactions contemplated by this Individual Subscription Agreement are not consummated
on or prior to the End Date (as defined in the Transaction Agreement); provided that (i) nothing herein will relieve any party from liability
for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to
recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach, and (ii) the provisions of Sections 7
through 10 of this Individual Subscription Agreement will survive any termination of this Individual Subscription Agreement and
continue indefinitely. The Company shall notify Subscriber of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination
of such agreement. Upon the termination of this Individual Subscription Agreement in accordance with this Section 7, any monies
paid by Subscriber to the Company for the Aggregate Purchase Price hereunder shall be promptly (and in any event within two business days)
returned to Subscriber.
8. Reliance
by and Exculpation of Placement Agents.
(a) The
Subscriber agrees for the express benefit of the Placement Agents, its affiliates and its representatives that (i) it is not relying upon,
and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by the Placement Agents, any of its affiliates or any of its or
its representatives, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company, (ii) each Placement Agent is acting solely as placement
agent in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and is not acting as an underwriter, initial purchaser, dealer or in any
other such capacity and is not and shall not be construed as a fiduciary for such Subscriber, (iii) the Placement Agents, their respective
affiliates and representatives have not made, and will not make any representations or warranties with respect to the Company, Neuphoria
or the offer and sale of the Securities or any other matter concerning the Company, Neuphoria or the transactions contemplated hereby,

of Subscriber contained in this Individual Subscription Agreement as if they were made directly to them. Prior to the Closing, Subscriber

herein are no longer accurate such that the conditions set forth in Sections 3(b)(i) and 3(b)(ii) would not be satisfied
as of the Closing Date. Subscriber agrees that the purchase by Subscriber of Securities from the Company will constitute a reaffirmation
of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein (as modified by any such notice) by Subscriber

given as of a certain date. Each of the Company and Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Neuphoria is an intended third-party beneficiary
of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company contained in Section 4 and Subscriber contained in Section 5

and do not affect any economic or any other material term of this Individual Subscription Agreement). The Company shall notify Subscriber
of any such amendments, modifications, waivers or terminations. No failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder

(i) This
Individual Subscription Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations
and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof (other than any confidentiality agreement

any provision of this Individual Subscription Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability
of the remaining provisions of this Individual Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue
in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties will substitute

(l) This
Individual Subscription Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf) and

in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree: (A) to waive

of specific enforcement pursuant to this Section 9(l) is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable law or inequitable
for any reason; and (C) to waive any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would
be adequate.
(n) Each
party shall pay all of its own expenses in connection with this Individual Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein.

by the Company or Neuphoria with the SEC, except to the extent required by the AIM Rules, UK MAR and federal securities laws, rules or
regulations and to the extent such disclosure is required by other laws, rules or regulations, at the request of the staff of the SEC,

(p) This
Individual Subscription Agreement, and all actions or matters based hereon, or arising out of, under or in connection herewith, or any
transaction contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard

irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts seated

Subscriber nor any of its agents, employees or other representatives shall have any liability to any Other Subscriber (or any other person)
relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Other Individual
Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by Subscriber or Other Subscriber pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute
Subscriber and Other Subscribers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption
that Subscriber and Other Subscribers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions
contemplated by this Individual Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements. Subscriber acknowledges that no Other Subscriber

(WITHDRAWAL) ACT 2018 (“UK MAR”). UPON THE PUBLICATION OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT, THIS INSIDE INFORMATION IS NOW CONSIDERED TO

Scancell and Neuphoria Therapeutics Announce Merger
Agreement and Financing
● All-share transaction creating a combined company to operate
as Scancell advancing a pipeline of targeted, off-the-shelf, active immunotherapies
● Combined company to be listed on Nasdaq, in addition to
Scancell’s existing AIM listing
● Agreed pro forma merger ownership split: existing Scancell
shareholders to own 85.5 per cent. of the combined company, with Neuphoria existing shareholders owning 14.5 per cent.1
● Financing to fund the global registrational Phase 3 trial
for lead programme, iSCIB1+ active immunotherapy in advanced melanoma
OXFORD, UK and BURLINGTON, MASS., 23 July 2026 –
Scancell Holdings plc (AIM: SCLP) (“Scancell”) and Neuphoria Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: NEUP) (“Neuphoria”)
today announce an all-share merger in which Scancell will acquire Neuphoria. Upon completion of the Transaction, the combined company
plans to operate under the name Scancell and will apply to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “SCLT”.
Alongside the Merger, Scancell expects to secure up to $89 million
of financing through a combination of equity and debt. It has secured commitments from new and existing shareholders for a Private Placement
of $39.1 million (c.£29.2 million) and intends to launch today a UK Placing to raise approximately $12.0 million (c.£9.0 million)
and a Retail Offer to raise up to $3.0 million (c.£2.3 million). In addition, Scancell has entered into a non-binding term sheet
with certain funds and accounts managed by BlackRock for Debt Financing of up to $25 million (c.£18.7 million). Completion of the
Merger is also expected to provide the combined company with a minimum of $10 million (c.£7.5 million) of additional cash as a result
of Neuphoria’s cash balances.
The Transaction has been unanimously approved by the
Board of Directors of each company. Completion of the Transaction is conditional upon approval by shareholders of both companies.
Unless otherwise stated, defined terms are included
in the Appendix.
Strategic Rationale for the Merger
and Financing
Scancell’s lead asset, iSCIB1+, has a defined
regulatory path with fast-track designation from the US Food and Drug Administration and continues to demonstrate a potent and durable
efficacy of 77 per cent Progression Free Survival at 22 months, in combination with ipilimumab and nivolumab, with expected further Progression
Free Survival and Overall Survival data from the Phase 2 SCOPE study to be released in the next 12 months.
On the basis of this dataset, a Nasdaq listing unlocks
access to US investors and the broader US life sciences sector. The equity and debt financing will provide the required capital to conduct
the registrational Phase 3 study for iSCIB1+ through key clinical milestones, including the Phase 3 iSCIB1+ primary readout (H2 2028)
and is expected to extend the Group’s cash runway into 2029.
Commenting on the announcement, Scancell’s
Chief Executive Officer, Dr Phil L’Huillier, said:
“This transaction will establish Scancell
on Nasdaq and enables access to US investors and the broader US life sciences sector for the capital we need to execute the registrational
Phase 3 study for iSCIB1+ in advanced melanoma. We believe the compelling data from our Phase 2 SCOPE study demonstrating benefit to patients
across multiple clinical endpoints warrants pressing forward to evaluate the product in a registrational randomized study. We strongly
believe this transaction creates meaningful near- and long-term value for shareholders of both companies.”
Commenting on the announcement, Neuphoria’s
Chairman, Alan Fisher, said:
“We believe this transaction offers Neuphoria
stockholders a compelling opportunity to participate in the future value creation of Scancell’s differentiated oncology pipeline,
while preserving potential upside from Neuphoria’s partnered assets through the CVRs.”
About the Transaction
Together, the Merger, Private Placement, Debt Financing
and Nasdaq Listing are the “US Listing Transactions”. The UK Placing and Retail Offer are the “UK Financing
Transactions” and when taken together with the Private Placement and the Debt Financing, constitute the “Financing”.
All together form the “Transaction”.
● All-share Merger: The share consideration for the
Merger consists of 20,414,065 ADSs (representing an aggregate of 204,140,654 Consideration Shares) which are expected to represent approximately
13.7 per cent. of Scancell’s enlarged issued Ordinary Share capital following Completion (the “Completion Ordinary Share
Capital”)2;
● Contingent Value Rights (CVRs): Neuphoria stockholders
will also receive contingent value rights representing the right to receive future conditional cash payments (if any) based on the achievement
of certain milestones relating to Neuphoria’s partnered assets, any monetisation of certain of Neuphoria’s intellectual property
rights and upon receipt of payment of an Australian R&D tax credit in respect of the year ended 30 June 2026;
● Financing: subject to completion of the US Listing Transactions (expected to occur
in late Q4 2026), the Group is expected to have a pro forma net cash balance of approximately $79.1 million (£59.2 million) (before
transaction costs), taking into account the proceeds of the Financing and inclusive of the closing cash in Neuphoria:
o Private Placement: Private Placement to raise $39.1 million (£29.2 million) through
the issue of 324,190,865 new Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares to be represented by ADSs) and Non-Voting Ordinary Shares. Placement
Price of $0.1205 (£0.09) per ADS, Ordinary Share or Non-Voting Ordinary Share;3
o UK Placing and Retail Offer: UK Placing to raise approximately
$12.0 million (c.£9.0 million) and a Retail Offer to raise up to approximately a further $3.0 million (c.£2.3 million) at
9 pence per Ordinary Share, being the GBP equivalent of the Placement Price, neither being conditional on the US Listing Transactions;
and
o Debt Financing: non-binding term sheet entered into
with certain funds and accounts managed by BlackRock for up to $25 million (c.£18.7 million) of new Debt Financing.
● Scancell shareholders, together with the investors in the
Private Placement, the UK Placing and the Retail Offer, are expected to own approximately 86.3 per cent. of the Completion Ordinary Share
Capital and approximately 88.9 per cent. of the total outstanding issued share capital of Scancell including Ordinary Shares and the
Non-Voting Ordinary Shares (together the “Completion Total Share Capital”). Neuphoria stockholders are expected to
own approximately 13.7 per cent. of the Completion Ordinary Share Capital and 11.1 per cent. of the Completion Total Share Capital.
The US Listing Transactions are all inter-conditional
and are expected to complete concurrently in late Q4 2026 subject to customary closing conditions. These include, among others, approval
of the required shareholder resolutions at a general meeting of Scancell’s shareholders (the “EGM”), approval
of the Merger at a special meeting of Neuphoria’s stockholders, the listing of the Scancell ADSs on Nasdaq (which is subject to
Nasdaq listing process and SEC review) and the submission of the application for the admission to trading of the Consideration Shares
on AIM. Further details are set out below.
2
To ensure the ADS price aligns with US market expectations,
it is expected that each ADS will initially represent ten (10) Consolidated Ordinary Shares. Additionally, Scancell plans a 10:1 share
consolidation, subject to Scancell shareholder approval (the “Share Consolidation”), to occur before closing of the
US Listing Transactions.
Principal Terms of the Merger, Financing and associated
transactions
1) Merger
Exchange Ratio and Merger Consideration
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each
share of Neuphoria common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive:
● a number of Scancell ADSs equal to the Exchange Ratio of
37.77199; and
● a CVR representing the right to receive potential cash payments
relating to Neuphoria’s partnered assets, any monetisation of certain of Neuphoria’s intellectual property rights and upon
receipt of payment of an Australian R&D tax credit in respect of the year ended 30 June 2026.
The Exchange Ratio represents the number of Scancell
ADSs that will be received by Neuphoria stockholders per Neuphoria share of common stock. Closing is conditional upon Neuphoria’s
net cash at 31 December 2026 or at Completion, if earlier, being at least $10 million.
Based on current assumptions, it is anticipated that
204,140,654 Consideration Shares (represented by 20,414,065 ADSs at the ADS Ratio) will be issued to Neuphoria stockholders.
Upon Completion, Neuphoria will become an indirect
wholly owned subsidiary of Scancell.
Other than in relation to de-minimis
maintenance and enforcement costs relating to agreements to maintain Neuphoria’s intellectual property, Scancell does not intend
to develop Neuphoria’s non-partnered assets and the Group will focus on the development of Scancell’s lead asset iSCIB1+ and
Scancell’s other pipeline opportunities.
Contingent Value Rights (CVRs)
Each Neuphoria stockholder will also receive a CVR
for each share of Neuphoria common stock held immediately prior to Completion, representing the right to receive a pro rata share of 100
per cent. of net proceeds received by Scancell: (i) under its research collaboration and licence agreement with Merck Sharp & Dohme
Corp. for a period of 15 years from Completion; (ii) under the Participants Agreement and associated CRC Commercialisation License Agreements
(including the existing licence agreement with Pfizer relating to KAT6), for a period of 15 years from Completion; (iii) pursuant to any
monetisation of certain of Neuphoria’s intellectual property rights within the applicable timeframe as set out in the CVR Agreement;
and (iv) in respect of an Australian R&D tax credit of Neuphoria in respect of the year ended 30 June 2026. The CVRs will be non-transferable
and will not be listed.
Conditions and Termination Rights
Completion also requires: (i) Neuphoria stockholder
approval of the Merger; (ii) Scancell shareholder approval of the requisite EGM resolutions; (iii) effectiveness of the Form F-4 Registration
Statement; (iv) the listing of the Scancell ADSs on Nasdaq (which is subject to the Nasdaq listing process and SEC review); (v) an application
having been made for the admission to trading of the Private Placement Ordinary Shares and Consideration Shares on AIM following closing;
(vi) securing a minimum of $75 million (c.£56 million) through the Financing; and (vii) the Subscription Agreements being in full
force and effect.
3
The Merger Agreement may be terminated prior to Completion
by mutual consent, or by either party if (i) a governmental authority has permanently restrained or prohibited the Merger; (ii) the requisite
shareholder approvals are not obtained; (iii) the other party has breached its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements such
that the relevant closing conditions would not be satisfied; or (iv) the Merger has not completed by 28 February 2027 (the “End
Date”). The End Date may be extended by a further 60 days if the SEC has not by the End Date declared the F-4 Registration Statement
effective. Scancell may also terminate the Merger Agreement if the Neuphoria board changes or proposes to change its recommendation, fails
to reaffirm it following a request from Scancell in certain circumstances, or Neuphoria materially breaches its non-solicitation obligations,
in each case prior to the obtaining of Neuphoria stockholder approval. If the Merger Agreement is terminated because the requisite approval
of either Scancell or Neuphoria is not obtained, the relevant party is required to reimburse the other party’s aggregate fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction.
Voting and Support Agreements and Lock-Up Agreements
Scancell has obtained customary agreements to support the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement and vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the EGM from Scancell’s directors and
certain shareholders in respect of holdings totalling, in aggregate, 443,249,106 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 42.7 per
cent. of Scancell’s existing Ordinary Shares as of the date of this announcement (prior to completion of the UK Placing and the
Retail Offer). Neuphoria has also obtained customary agreements to support and vote in favour of the transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement from certain of its directors and officers in respect of holdings totalling, in aggregate, 10,453 Neuphoria shares of
common stock, representing less than 1 per cent. of Neuphoria’s outstanding shares of common stock.
The Directors and certain shareholders of Scancell
and Neuphoria will also enter into lock-up agreements at Completion, pursuant to which, subject to specified exceptions, they will accept
certain restrictions on transfers of Ordinary Shares (or other securities) they beneficially hold for the 180-day period following
Completion.
Leerink Partners is acting as financial advisor to Scancell in connection
with the Merger. H.C. Wainwright & Co. and WG Partners LLP are acting as financial advisors to Neuphoria in connection with the Merger.
2) Private
Placement
Concurrently with signing the Merger Agreement, Scancell has entered
into the Private Placement by executing Subscription Agreements with certain existing and new accredited investors. The Private Placement
is expected to raise approximately $39.1 million (c.£29.2 million). Subscribers in the Private Placement can elect to receive Ordinary
Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) or Non-Voting Ordinary Shares at the Placement Price. The Placement Price is subject
to pro rata adjustment upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective and for the final ADS Ratio. The Private Placement is expected
to result in the issue of up to 279,377,587 new Ordinary Shares and 44,813,278 Non-Voting Shares (excluding the impact of the proposed
Share Consolidation).
The closing of the Private Placement is conditional
upon the passing of certain resolutions at the EGM, the closing of the Merger and the Nasdaq Listing and is also subject to customary
closing conditions.
Leerink Partners, TD Cowen and H.C. Wainwright
& Co. are acting as placement agents for the Private Placement.
3) UK Placing
and Retail Offer
Scancell intends to raise approximately $12.0 million (c.£9 million)
through the placing of new Ordinary Shares via an accelerated bookbuild process with select new and existing UK institutional investors
of Scancell at 9 pence per Ordinary Share, being the GBP equivalent of the Placement Price.
Scancell also intends to launch the Retail Offer at
9 pence per Ordinary Share, to raise up to approximately a further $3.0 million (c.£2.3 million) in order to allow existing shareholders
of Scancell and new qualifying UK retail investors to participate in the Financing. The Retail Offer will be conducted via the Winterflood
Retail Access Platform (“WRAP”).
4
Separate announcements regarding the launch of (i)
the UK Placing; and (ii) the launch of the Retail Offer, including their respective terms, will be made shortly.
Neither the UK Placing nor the Retail Offer are
conditional on the US Listing Transactions and both will be completed within Scancell’s existing share capital authorities.
Panmure Liberum Limited is acting as sole placement
agent for the UK Placing and as joint Corporate Broker to Scancell. WG Partners LLP is acting as joint Corporate Broker to Scancell.
4) Debt
Financing
Scancell has signed a non-binding term sheet for secured
interest-bearing debt facilities of up to $25 million (the “Debt Financing”) to be provided by certain funds and accounts
managed by BlackRock, to be drawn in four tranches through December 2027. A portion may convert into equity at the Placement Price. The
lender would receive warrants pro rata to drawdowns, which are expected to represent a single digit percentage of borrowed amounts and
to carry an exercise price equal to the Placement Price.
Subject to due diligence and binding agreement, Scancell
expects to draw the first tranche of $7 million prior to completion of the US Listing Transactions. Scancell expects to have the ability
to draw down a further tranche on or around completion of the US Listing Transactions and could draw down further tranches if additional
conditions are met. Each tranche is expected to have an initial interest-only period, followed by repayments of the principal and interest.
The Debt Financing is subject to shareholder approval
at the EGM.
A further announcement will be made upon finalisation
of the Debt Financing, which is expected to be during Q3 2026.
5) Non-Voting Ordinary Shares
The Redmile Funds have agreed to the conversion of
all of the outstanding CLNs issued by Scancell to the Redmile Funds into (at the Redmile Funds’ election) 15,986,515 restricted
ADSs and/or a new class of non-voting ordinary shares in the capital of Scancell (“Non-Voting Ordinary Shares”) representing
159,865,155 Ordinary Shares (subject to adjustment of the conversion price under the CLNs for the dilutive impact of the Financing and
exclusive of any payment of accrued interest under the CLNs in shares), subject to passing of the requisite resolutions at the EGM and
immediately following Completion (“CLN Conversion”). It is also proposed that, subject to passing of the requisite
resolutions at the EGM, a number of the existing Ordinary Shares held by the Redmile Funds will be re-designated as Non-Voting Ordinary
Shares (the “Redmile Funds Redesignation”) such that, following Completion, the Redmile Funds will hold no more than
9.99 per cent. of the voting share capital of Scancell.2
The Non-Voting Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu
with Scancell’s existing Ordinary Shares in all respects (including economic rights) save that they will carry no voting rights.
The Non-Voting Ordinary Shares will not be admitted to trading on AIM.
Further details of the CLN Conversion, the Redmile
Funds’ Redesignation and the Non-Voting Ordinary Shares will be included in the Circular.
6) Related Party Transactions
The Redmile Funds, which currently hold 28.6 per cent. of Scancell’s
Ordinary Shares, have conditionally agreed to subscribe for 44,813,278 Non-Voting Ordinary Shares as part of the Private Placement. Upon
the CLN Conversion and the Redmile Funds Redesignation described above, the Redmile Funds are expected to hold up to 147,777,048 Ordinary
Shares representing 9.9 per cent. of the expected Completion Ordinary Share Capital and, together with the 354,089,750 Non-Voting Ordinary
Shares, 27.1 per cent. in aggregate of the Completion Total Share Capital. The Transaction will not result in the Redmile Funds being
interested in shares carrying 30 per cent. or more of the voting rights of Scancell.
5
Vulpes, which currently holds 13.8 per cent. of Scancell’s Ordinary
Shares, has agreed to conditionally subscribe for 9,128,630 ADSs pursuant to the Private Placement at the Placement Price (representing
91,286,307 Ordinary Shares), such that upon Completion, Vulpes is expected to beneficially own 234,823,344 Ordinary Shares (including
through ADSs) representing approximately 15.7 per cent. of the expected Completion Ordinary Share Capital and 12.7 per cent. of the Completion
Total Share Capital.
Dr Phil L’Huillier has agreed to subscribe for 24,896 ADSs pursuant
to the Private Placement at the Placement Price, such that upon completion of the Transaction, he is expected to hold 248,962 Ordinary
Shares representing 0.02 per cent. of the expected Completion Ordinary Share Capital and 0.01 per cent. of the Completion Total Share
Capital.
The Redmile Funds, Vulpes and Dr Phil L’Huillier
are each related parties under Rule 13 of the AIM Rules (as substantial shareholders or, in Dr Phil L’Huillier’s case, as
CEO of Scancell and as a participant in the Private Placement). The CLN Conversion, the Redmile Funds Redesignation and the related parties’
participation in the Private Placement together constitute the “Related Party Transactions”.
Dr Jean-Michel Cosséry, Professor Lindy Durrant,
Susan Clement Davies, and Dr Ursula Ney, being the Directors independent of the Related Party Transactions, having consulted with Scancell’s
nominated adviser, Panmure Liberum, consider the terms of the Related Party Transactions to be fair and reasonable insofar as Scancell’s
shareholders are concerned.
7) Shareholder Circular, Notice of EGM and Certain
Other Information
Subject to announcement of the results of the UK Placing
and the Retail Offer, application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for admission to trading on AIM of the UK Placing Shares and
the Retail Offer Shares to trading on AIM with Admission expected to be on or around 28 July 2026.
Application is expected to be made at the time of Completion
to the London Stock Exchange for the Consideration Shares and the Private Placement Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM which
is expected to occur in late Q4 2026. Further updates as to timing will be made in due course.
Scancell expects to publish the Circular in connection
with the EGM in due course, a further announcement will be made at the time of publication.
Scancell also expects to file with the SEC a Registration
Statement on Form F-4, which will include a proxy statement of Neuphoria that also constitutes a prospectus of Scancell under SEC filing
rules.
The Merger constitutes a substantial transaction for
Scancell for the purposes of Rule 12 of the AIM Rules. Accordingly, Scancell has disclosed certain information in relation to Schedule
Four of the AIM Rules under the section “About Neuphoria” below.
Following Completion, it is anticipated that the Group
will enter into a new service contract with a current director of Neuphoria, who will join the board of Scancell as a new non-executive
director. The terms of this service contract are subject to completion of the requisite AIM due diligence and verification checks. A further
announcement will be made regarding the appointment in due course.

About Neuphoria
Neuphoria Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: NEUP) is a public
company incorporated in Delaware. Neuphoria is a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to developing therapies that address the
complex needs of individuals affected by neuropsychiatric disorders. Neuphoria is advancing the lead drug candidate, BNC210, an oral,
proprietary, selective negative allosteric modulator of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor for the treatment of post-traumatic
stress disorder (“PTSD”). BNC210 is a first-of-its-kind, well tolerated, broad spectrum anti-anxiety experimental therapeutic,
designed to restore neurotransmitter balance in relevant brain areas, providing rapid relief from stress and anxiety symptoms without
the common pitfalls of sedation, cognitive impairment, or addiction. Following the announcement from the AFFIRM-1 Phase 3 clinical trial
on October 20, 2025, in which Neuphoria announced that the trial missed its primary and secondary endpoints, Neuphoria has halted development
of BNC210 in social anxiety disorder and is conducting a strategic review.
As at 31 March 2026, Neuphoria had total cash resources
of US$19.4 million. Other than its cash resources, Neuphoria has no material assets from which Scancell is expected to benefit, no ongoing
revenue and one employee. Neuphoria may be entitled to receive future milestone payments in connection with its existing partnerships
for the future potential benefit of existing Neuphoria stockholders pursuant to the CVRs. For the three months ended 31 March 2026, Neuphoria
incurred a net loss of $0.5 million.
Further information about Neuphoria’s historical
business and financial performance is available in its SEC filings.
For the purposes of UK MAR, the person responsible
for arranging for the release of this announcement on behalf of Scancell is Alex Hayward, Finance Director and Company Secretary.
