PALVELLA THERAPEUTICS, INC.
2024 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
WHEREAS, Palvella Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”)
maintains the Palvella Therapeutics, Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which was previously adopted by
the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and approved by the Company’s stockholders;
WHEREAS, the Board believes that the number of
Shares (as defined in the Plan) remaining available for issuance under the Plan has become insufficient for the Company’s anticipated

and in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to amend the Plan to increase the aggregate number of Shares reserved for
issuance thereunder by 750,000 shares; and
WHEREAS, Section 11 of the Plan provides that
the Board may amend the Plan at any time, subject to certain conditions set forth therein.
NOW, THEREFORE:
1. Section 3(a) of the Plan is hereby deleted it in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“(a) Shares Subject to the Plan. Subject to
adjustment as provided in this Section 3(a), Section 3(d), and in Section 3(e) of the Plan, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued
in respect of Awards under the Plan is the sum of: (i) 4,090,639 Shares, minus (ii) the number of Shares subject to Prior Plan Awards
granted between September 12, 2024 and the Effective Date, plus (iii) up to 115,294 additional Shares subject to Prior Plan Awards to
the extent they become available for reissuance pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof. Any Shares issued hereunder may consist, in whole
or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares or treasury shares.”
2. Effective Date of Amendment. This Amendment to the Plan shall become effective upon the date that it is approved by the Company’s
stockholders in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
