Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 10, 2025, COMPASS Pathways plc (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with TD Securities (USA) LLC (“TD Cowen”), Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, as representatives (the “Representatives”) of the underwriters listed therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to the issuance and sale in an underwritten offering (the “Offering”) of (i) 24,014,728 American Depositary Shares, each representing one ordinary share, nominal value £0.008 each, of the Company (“ADSs”) and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 24,014,728 ADSs (the “ADS Warrants”), and (ii) in lieu of ADSs, to certain investors, pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 11,044,720 ADSs (the “Pre-Funded Warrants” and together with the ADS Warrants, the “Warrants”) and accompanying ADS Warrants to purchase up to 11,044,720 ADSs. The offering price is $4.2750 per ADS and accompanying ADS Warrant, and $4.2649 per Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying ADS Warrant. All of the ADSs and Warrants in the Offering are being sold by the Company.
Gross proceeds from the Offering before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses are expected to be approximately $150 million and up to approximately $353 million if the ADS Warrants are fully exercised for cash. The Offering is expected to close on January 13, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-282522), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 7, 2024, and declared effective by the SEC on October 17, 2024.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by such parties. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, the Company, its officers and directors have agreed not to offer, sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any ADSs, ordinary shares or similar securities during the 60-day period following the date of the Underwriting Agreement, without first obtaining the written consent of the Representatives.
The Pre-Funded Warrants will have an exercise price of $0.0001 per ADS and be exercisable immediately upon the closing of the Offering. The Pre-Funded Warrants may be exercised by delivery of the aggregate exercise price or by means of a cashless exercise. The Pre-Funded Warrants expire when exercised in full.
The ADS Warrants will have an exercise price of $5.7960 per ADS, representing a 40% premium to the last sale price of the ADSs, and are exercisable following a specified data milestone. The ADS Warrants will expire three years after issuance. The ADS Warrants are exercisable for cash, provided however, that if, at the time a holder of ADS Warrants exercises its ADS Warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance of the ADSs representing ordinary shares underlying the ADS Warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available for the issuance of such ADSs, then in lieu of making the cash payment, the holder may elect to cashless exercise.
Once the ADS Warrants become exercisable, the Company may force the exercise of the ADS Warrants (by way of cash or cashless exercise, at the Company’s option), in whole or in part, by delivering a notice of forced exercise to the holders, provided that the closing price for the Company’s ADSs on Nasdaq exceeded the ADS Warrant exercise price for the three consecutive trading days prior to the date on which the notice of forced exercise is delivered. In the event that the Company forces the exercise of the ADS Warrants, to the extent that the holder would own more than the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (defined below), the holder would receive a Pre-Funded Warrant for those number of ADSs which would cause the holder to exceed than the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.
Under the terms of the Warrants, a holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of such holder’s Warrants to the extent that the holder would own more than 9.99% of the number of the Company’s ordinary shares



outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, which percentage may be increased up to 19.99% or decreased at the holder’s election upon at least 61 days’ notice to the Company (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). The exercise price of the Warrants and the number of ADSs representing ordinary shares upon exercise of the Warrants are subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting the Company’s ordinary shares and ADSs and any adjustment to the ADS ratio of ordinary shares per ADS.
In the event of certain fundamental transactions, the Warrants will be automatically exercised through a cashless exercise and, with respect to any ADSs underlying the Warrants for which the automatic exercise would cause the aggregate number of ADSs representing ordinary shares beneficially owned by the holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, for the cash value equal to the Black-Scholes Value to be paid.
The foregoing descriptions of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the Warrants do not purport to be complete and are each qualified in their entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, the Form of Pre-Funded Warrant and Form of ADS Warrant, respectively, which are filed as Exhibit 1.1, Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 4.2 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference. 
Item 7.01Regulation FD Disclosure.
On January 10, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the Offering. A copy of the press release announcing the Offering is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
The information contained under Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act except as may be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Item 8.01Other Events.
On January 9, 2025, the Company delivered written notice to the placement agent that it was suspending and terminating the sales agreement prospectus, dated October 18, 2024 (the “ATM Prospectus”) relating to up to $93,512,230 of the Company’s ADSs that may be issued and sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement, dated October 8, 2021, as amended, by and between the Company and TD Cowen (the “Sales Agreement”). The Company will not make any sales of its ADSs pursuant to the Sales Agreement, unless and until a new prospectus, prospectus supplement or registration statement is filed.
The Sales Agreement remains in full force and effect.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Any statements, other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding the expected timing for the closing of the Offering and the anticipated proceeds to be received in the Offering (including, without limitation, the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Warrants) and any other statements containing the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates” and similar expressions, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current intentions, beliefs and expectations regarding future events. The Company cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be accurate. Investors should realize that if underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could differ materially from the Company’s expectations, including market risks and other market conditions; the risk that the conditions to the closing of the Offering are not satisfied; and the risk that investors will not exercise the Warrants and those risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K or quarterly report on Form 10-Q and in other reports the Company has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Investors are, therefore, cautioned not to place undue



reliance on any forward-looking statement. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this Form 8-K, and, except as required by law, the Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement to reflect new information, events or circumstances.

Dear Sirs and Madams:
1.INTRODUCTORY. COMPASS Pathways plc, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales with registered number 12696098 (the “Company”), proposes to sell, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Agreement”), to the several underwriters named in Schedule A hereto (the “Underwriters,” or, each, an “Underwriter”), an aggregate of (a) 24,014,728



American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing one (1) ordinary share, nominal value £0.008 each, of the Company (each, an “Ordinary Share”), (b) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 11,044,720 ADSs, each ADS representing one (1) Ordinary Share (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), and (c) warrants to purchase up to 35,059,448 ADSs, each ADS representing (1) Ordinary Share (the “Ordinary Warrants” and together with the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Warrants”). The 24,014,728 ADSs to be sold by the Company are hereinafter referred to as the “Offered ADSs” and together with the Warrants, the “Offered Securities.” Each Offered ADS is being sold together with one Ordinary Warrant exercisable for one ADS representing one Ordinary Share and each Pre-Funded Warrant is being sold together with one Ordinary Warrant exercisable for one ADS representing one Ordinary Share. The Ordinary Shares represented by the Offered ADSs are hereinafter called the “Shares.” As used herein, “Warrant Shares” means the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and “Warrant ADSs” means the ADSs representing such Warrant Shares. Unless context otherwise requires, each reference to the Offered ADSs, and the Warrant ADSs herein also includes the Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs. The Offered ADSs, the Warrants, the Warrant ADSs, the Shares, and the Warrant Shares are collectively herein referred to as the “Securities.” TD Securities (USA) LLC, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and RBC Capital Markets, LLC are acting as representatives of the several Underwriters and in such capacity are hereinafter referred to as the “Representatives.”
The ADSs, including (for the avoidance of doubt) any Warrant ADSs, will be issued pursuant to a deposit agreement dated September 22, 2020 (the “Deposit Agreement”), among the Company and Citibank N.A., as depositary (the “Depositary”), and the holders from time to time of the American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) evidencing the ADSs issued thereunder. The Shares will, following subscription by the Underwriters, and the Warrant Shares will, following subscription by the Underwriters and as and when the applicable holder exercises Warrants, be deposited pursuant to the Deposit Agreement with Citibank N.A., as custodian (the “Custodian”) for the Depositary or its nominee and each holder and beneficial owner from time to time of the ADRs issued by the Depositary and evidencing the ADSs. Each ADS will initially represent the right to receive one Ordinary Share deposited pursuant to the Deposit Agreement.

(a)Indemnification of Underwriters by the Company. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless: (i) each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors, officers, managers, members, employees, representatives and agents and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively the “Underwriter Indemnified Parties,” and each, an “Underwriter Indemnified Party”) against any loss, claim, damage, expense or liability whatsoever (or any action, investigation or proceeding in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Underwriter Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding arises out of or is based upon (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Testing-the-Waters Communication, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Rules and Regulations, the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by reference therein or in any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Company in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Offered Securities, including any roadshow or investor presentations made to investors by the Company (whether in person or electronically) (“Marketing Materials”) or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Testing-the-Waters Communication, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Rules and Regulations, the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by reference therein, or in any Marketing Materials, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, and shall reimburse each Underwriter Indemnified Party promptly upon demand for any legal fees or other expenses reasonably incurred by that Underwriter Indemnified Party in connection with investigating, or preparing to defend, or defending against, or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with, any such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding, as such fees and expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in, or omission or alleged omission from any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Marketing Materials made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through the Representatives by or on behalf of any Underwriter specifically for use therein, which information the parties hereto agree is limited to the Underwriters’ Information.
(b)Indemnification by the Underwriters. Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement or the ADS Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the
35



Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively the “Company Indemnified Parties” and each a “Company Indemnified Party”) against any loss, claim, damage, expense or liability whatsoever (or any action, investigation or proceeding in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Rules and Regulations, the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Rules and Regulations, the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through the Representatives by or on behalf of that Underwriter specifically for use therein, which information the parties hereto agree is limited to the Underwriters’ Information, and shall reimburse the Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as third party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, investigation or proceeding, as such fees and expenses are incurred.
(c)Notice and Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 7 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; and, provided, further, that the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7. If any such proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof: (1) in the case of a civil proceeding (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any governmental, regulatory or non-civil proceeding), the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in such civil proceeding and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such civil proceeding, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such civil proceeding, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation; and (2) in case any governmental, regulatory or non-civil proceeding, upon request of the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such governmental, regulatory or non-civil proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such governmental, regulatory or non-civil proceeding. Subject to this Section 7(c), the amount payable by an indemnifying party under Section 7 shall include, but not be limited to, (x) reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses of counsel to the indemnified party and any other expenses in investigating, or preparing to defend or defending against, or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with, any action, investigation, proceeding or claim, and (y) all amounts paid in
36



settlement of any of the foregoing. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to any pending or threatened action or any claim whatsoever, in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 7 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. Subject to the provisions of the following sentence, no indemnifying party shall be liable for settlement of any pending or threatened action or any claim whatsoever that is effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with such written consent or if there be a judgment for the plaintiff in any such matter, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. In addition, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested that an indemnifying party reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 7(a) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than thirty (30) days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the request for reimbursement, and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.
(d)If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 7(a) or 7(b), then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid, payable or otherwise incurred by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or any action, investigation or proceeding in respect thereof), as incurred, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Offered Securities, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) of this Section 7(d) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) of this Section 7(d), but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to the statements, omissions, acts or failures to act which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or any action, investigation or proceeding in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Offered Securities subscribed for under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to the Offered Securities subscribed for under this Agreement, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement, omission, act or failure to act; provided that the parties hereto agree that the written information furnished to the Company through the Representatives by or on behalf of the Underwriters for use in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, consists solely of the Underwriters’ Information.
(e)The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to Section 7(d) above were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the
37



Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to Section 7(d) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding referred to in Section 7(d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with, any such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Offered Securities exceeds the amount of any damages which the Underwriter has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission, act or alleged act or failure to act or alleged failure to act. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.
8.TERMINATION. The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated by the Representatives, in their absolute discretion by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Sections 6(m) or 6(o) have occurred or if the Underwriters shall decline to subscribe for the Offered Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement.
9.REIMBURSEMENT OF UNDERWRITERS’ EXPENSES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if (a) this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 8 or 10, (b) the Company shall fail to tender the Offered Securities for delivery to the Underwriters for any reason not permitted under this Agreement, (c) the Underwriters shall decline to subscribe for the Offered Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement or (d) the sale of the Offered Securities is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth herein is not satisfied or because of the refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or to satisfy any condition or to comply with the provisions hereof, then, in addition to the payment of amounts in accordance with Section 5, the Company shall reimburse the Underwriters for the reasonable fees and expenses of Underwriters’ counsel and for such other out-of-pocket expenses as shall have been reasonably incurred by them in connection with this Agreement and the proposed subscription for the Offered Securities, including, without limitation, travel and lodging expenses of the Underwriters, and upon demand the Company shall pay the full amount thereof to the Representatives; provided that if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10 by reason of the default of one or more Underwriters, the Company shall not be obligated to reimburse any defaulting Underwriter on account of expenses to the extent incurred by such defaulting Underwriter, provided further that the foregoing shall not limit any reimbursement obligation of the Company to any non-defaulting Underwriter under this Section 9.
10.SUBSTITUTION OF UNDERWRITERS. If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall default in its or their obligations to subscribe for the Offered Securities hereunder on the Closing Date, and the aggregate number of Offered Securities for which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to subscribe does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total number of Offered Securities to be subscribed for by all Underwriters on the Closing Date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated
38



severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to subscribe for the Offered Securities for which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to subscribe on the Closing Date. If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall so default and the aggregate number of Offered Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur is more than ten percent (10%) of the total number of Offered Securities to be subscribed for by all Underwriters on the Closing Date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the subscription for such Offered Securities by other persons are not made within forty-eight (48) hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate.
If the remaining Underwriters or substituted Underwriters are required hereby or agree to take up all or part of the Offered Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters on the Closing Date as provided in this Section 10, (i) the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Dates for a period of not more than five (5) full business days in order that the Company may effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees promptly to file any amendments to the Registration Statement or supplements to the Prospectus which may thereby be made necessary, and (ii) the respective numbers of Offered Securities to be subscribed for by the remaining Underwriters or substituted Underwriters shall be taken as the basis of their underwriting obligation for all purposes of this Agreement. Nothing herein contained shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability to the Company or the other Underwriters for damages occasioned by its default hereunder. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except that the representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities, agreements and other statements set forth in Section 2, the obligations with respect to expenses to be paid or reimbursed pursuant to Sections 5 and 9 and the provisions of Section 7 and Sections 11 through 21, inclusive, shall not terminate and shall remain in full force and effect.
11.ABSENCE OF FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP. The Company acknowledges and agrees that:
(a)each Underwriter’s responsibility to the Company is solely contractual in nature, the Representatives have been retained solely to act as underwriters in connection with the sale of the Offered Securities and no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Company the Representatives has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, irrespective of whether any of the Representatives has advised or is advising the Company on other matters;
(b)the Underwriters owe the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement, any contemporaneous written agreements and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company, and none of the activities of the Underwriters in connection with the transactions contemplated herein constitutes a recommendation, investment advice, or solicitation of any action by the Underwriters with respect to any entity or natural person;
(c)the price of the Offered Securities set forth in this Agreement was established by the Company following discussions and arms-length negotiations with the Representatives, and the Company is capable of evaluating and understanding, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
39



(d)it has been advised that the Representatives and their affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Company and that the Representatives have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Company by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and
(e)it waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Representatives for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that the Representatives shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company, including shareholders, employees or creditors of the Company.
12.SUCCESSORS; PERSONS ENTITLED TO BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the several Underwriters, the Company and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, other than the persons mentioned in the preceding sentence, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement, or any provisions herein contained, this Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive benefit of such persons and for the benefit of no other person; except that the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and indemnities of the Company contained in this Agreement shall also be for the benefit of the Underwriter Indemnified Parties, and the indemnities of the several Underwriters shall be for the benefit of the Company Indemnified Parties. It is understood that each Underwriter’s responsibility to the Company is solely contractual in nature and the Underwriters do not owe the Company, or any other party, any fiduciary duty as a result of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Offered Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.
13.SURVIVAL OF INDEMNITIES, REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, ETC. The respective indemnities, covenants, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by them respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Company or any person controlling any of them and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities.

Dear Sirs and Madams:

This letter agreement (this “Agreement”) is being delivered to you in connection with the proposed Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) by and among COMPASS Pathways plc, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales with registered number 12696098 (the “Company”) and TD Securities (USA) LLC, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and RBC Capital Markets, LLC as representatives (the “Representatives”) of a group of underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriters”), to be named therein, and the other parties thereto (if any), relating to the proposed public offering (the “Offering”) of American depositary shares (the “ADSs”) representing ordinary shares, nominal value £0.008 per share, of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares” and, together with the ADSs, the “Securities”), pre-funded warrants to purchase ADSs and warrants to purchase ADSs.

In order to induce the Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement, and in light of the benefits that the Offering will confer upon the undersigned in his, her or its capacity as a securityholder and/or an officer, director or employee of the Company, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with each Underwriter

The undersigned represents and warrants that the undersigned is currently not, and has not caused or directed any of its affiliates to be or become, a party to any agreement or arrangement that is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in any Prohibited Activities during the Lock-Up Period.

The restrictions set forth in the second paragraph shall not apply to:

(10) the entry into, by the undersigned, at any time on or after the date of the Underwriting Agreement, of any trading plan providing for the sale of Securities by the undersigned, which trading plan meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) (a “10b5-1 Trading Plan”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), provided, however, that (i) such plan does not provide for, or permit, the sale of any Securities during the Lock-Up Period and (ii) no public announcement or filing is voluntarily made during the Lock-Up Period, and any required announcement or filing under the Exchange Act includes a statement to the effect that no transfer of Securities shall be made under such plan during the Lock-Up Period.

provided, however, that in the case of any transfer described in clause (1), (2), (3), (4) or (5) above, it shall be a condition to the transfer that (A) the transferee executes and delivers to the Representatives, acting on behalf of the Underwriters, not later than one (1) business day prior to such transfer, a written agreement, in substantially the form of this Agreement (it being understood that any references to “immediate family” in the agreement executed by such transferee shall expressly refer only to the immediate family of the undersigned and not to the immediate family of the transferee) and otherwise satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives, and (B) in the case of any transfer described in clause (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6) and (7) above, no public announcement or filing is voluntarily made regarding such transfer during the Lock-Up Period and if the undersigned is required to file a report under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Securities or Beneficially Owned Securities or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Securities or Beneficially Owned Securities during the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned shall include a statement in such report to the effect that, (A) in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (1) above, such transfer is being made as a gift or by will or intestate succession, (B) in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (2) above, such transfer is being made to a securityholder, partner or member of, or owner of a similar equity interest in, the undersigned and is not a transfer for value, (C) in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (3) above, such transfer is being made to trust beneficiaries and is not a



transfer for value, (D) in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (4) above, such transfer is being made either (a) in connection with the sale or other bona fide transfer in a single transaction of all or substantially all of the undersigned’s share capital, partnership interests, membership interests or other similar equity interests, as the case may be, or all or substantially all of the undersigned’s assets or (b) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity that is an affiliate of the undersigned and such transfer is not for value, (E) in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (5) above, such transfer is being made by operation of law, (F) in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (6) above, such transfer is being made in connection with the termination of the undersigned’s employment and (G) in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (7) above, such transfer is being made to satisfy tax withholding obligations. For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean a spouse, child, grandchild or other lineal descendant (including by adoption), father, mother, brother or sister of the undersigned; and “affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement prohibits the undersigned from exercising any options or warrants to purchase Securities (which exercises may be effected on a cashless basis to the extent the instruments representing such options or warrants permit exercises on a cashless basis), it being understood that any Securities issued upon such exercises will be subject to the restrictions of this Agreement and provided, however, that no public announcement or filing is voluntarily made regarding such exercise during the Lock-Up Period and provided that if the undersigned is required to file a report under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of such options or warrants during the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned shall include a statement in such report to the effect that the disposition relates to the exercise of an option or warrant, as applicable, and that the Securities received upon exercise are subject to the restrictions of this Agreement.

In order to enable this covenant to be enforced, the undersigned hereby consents to the placing of legends or stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent with respect to any Securities or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Securities.
The undersigned further agrees that it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand or request for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration under the Securities Act, of any Securities or other Beneficially Owned Securities or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Securities or other Beneficially Owned Securities.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and that this Agreement has been duly authorized (if the undersigned is not a natural person), executed and delivered by the undersigned and is a valid and binding agreement of the undersigned. This Agreement and all authority herein conferred are irrevocable and shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned (if a natural person) and shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

The undersigned hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that (i) it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, (ii) the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, or (iii) the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. The undersigned hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by receiving a copy thereof sent to the undersigned at the address on the signature page below, and such service shall constitute good



and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. The undersigned hereby waives any right to a trial by jury. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.

The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that whether or not any public offering of Securities actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions.

Section 2. Exercise.

(a)Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within one Business Day following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver to the Company (i) the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant ADSs thereby purchased and specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise and (ii) any documentation required by the Depositary or the Company’s transfer agent from the holder (such date when the Company has received each of the Notice of



Exercise, the Exercise Price and any documentation required by the Depositary or the Company’s transfer agent, the “Exercise Date”). No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender or cause the physical surrender of this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant ADSs available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender or cause the surrender of this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within one Business Day of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant ADSs available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant ADSs purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant ADSs purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant ADSs purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant ADSs hereunder, the number of Warrant ADSs available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

This Warrant may (if permitted by applicable law and the Company’s articles of association) also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant ADSs equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

(B)= the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

(X)= the number of Warrant ADSs that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

If Warrant ADSs are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant ADSs shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and for purposes of Rule 144 the holding period of the Warrant ADSs being issued may



be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).

Bid Price” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the ADSs are then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the ADSs for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the ADSs are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P.

VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the ADSs are then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the ADSs for such date if a Trading Day (and if not, the nearest preceding Trading Day) on the Trading Market on which the ADSs are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the ADSs for such date if a Trading Day (and if not, the nearest preceding Trading Day) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the ADSs are not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the ADSs are then reported on the Pink Open Market published by OTC Markets Group, Inc.

Trading Market” means any of the following markets or exchanges on which the ADSs are listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange (or any successors to any of the foregoing).

(d)Mechanics of Exercise.
(i) Delivery of Warrant ADSs Upon Exercise. The Company shall or shall cause its agent to deposit the Warrant Shares subject to such exercise with the depositary for the ADSs (the “Depositary”) by way of (a) issuance
directly to the nominee of the Depositary or (b) a transfer to the nominee of the Depositary that constitutes an
“exempt capital-raising transfer” or “exempt listing transfer” within the meaning of sections 97AB and 97AC
of the UK Finance Act 1986, and instruct the Depositary to credit the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company (other than a failure to deposit or credit, as the case may be, caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by the Holder) through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Depositary is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement with a current prospectus registering the issuance of the Warrant ADSs to the Holder or (B) the Warrant ADSs are eligible for resale by the Holder without the current information requirements, or the volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by electronic (registered in book-entry format) or physical delivery of an ADR (as defined in that certain Deposit Agreement by and among the Company, the Depositary, and the holders and beneficial owners of American Depositary Shares issued thereunder, dated as of September 22, 2020 (the “Deposit Agreement”)) for the number of Warrant ADSs to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise, in each case (provided that the whole Exercise Price payable has been received by the Company, it being understood and agreed that in the



case of either an exercise pursuant to Section 2(a) or a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c), the original Holder (i) has paid the nominal value of the Warrant Shares to be used in the event of such exercise on the date of issue of this Warrant as a part of the purchase price paid by the original Holder to the Company in exchange for the issue of this Warrant by the Company; (ii) such amount shall be held by the Company and no additional consideration for the nominal value shall be required to be paid by the Holder to effect an exercise of this Warrant; (iii) each Warrant Share shall be issued at nominal value and no share premium shall be payable thereon; and (iv) the Holder shall not be entitled to the return or refund of all, or any portion, of such pre-funded nominal value under any circumstance or for any reason whatsoever, including in the event this Warrant shall not have been exercised prior to the Termination Date) by the date that is one Business Day after the Exercise Date (such date, the “Warrant ADS Delivery Date”). If the Warrant ADSs can be delivered via DWAC, then in addition to the delivery of the Warrant Shares to the Depositary in the manner contemplated above, within one Business Day of the Exercise Date, the Depositary shall have received any legal opinions and instructions from the Company, representations from Holders or other documentation required by the Depositary to deliver such ADSs without a restrictive legend. The Holder (or other person named in the Notice of Exercise as recipient of the Warrant ADSs) shall be treated by the Company as if it were the beneficial owner of the Warrant Shares represented by the Warrant ADSs subject to a Notice of Exercise for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the applicable Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi), prior to the issuance of such Warrant ADSs having been made. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver, or cause the Depositary to deliver, to the Holder the Warrant ADSs subject to a Notice of Exercise in the manner contemplated above by the Warrant ADS Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $2,000 of Warrant ADSs subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the ADSs on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Business Day (increasing to $20 per Business Day on the fifth Business Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Business Day after such Warrant ADS Delivery Date until such Warrant ADSs are delivered in the manner contemplated above or the Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a depositary and transfer agent (if applicable) that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means (I) if the ADSs are then listed on a Trading Market, the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the ADSs as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise, (II) if the ADSs are listed on OTCQB or OTCQX, then the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the OTCQB or OTCQX, as the case may be or (III) if the ADSs are not then listed on a Trading Market, OTCQB or OTCQX, and prices for the ADSs are then reported in The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), then two Trading Days.

(ii) Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant, at the time of delivery of the Warrant ADSs, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant ADSs called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

(iii) Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Depositary to transmit to the Holder the Warrant ADSs pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant ADS Delivery Date (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by the Holder to the Company), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise in respect of the untransmitted Warrant ADSs (with the effect that the Holder’s right to acquire such Warrant ADSs pursuant to this Warrant shall be restored) and the Company shall promptly return to the Holder the aggregate Exercise Price paid to the Company for such Warrant ADSs.

(iv) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant ADSs Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Depositary to deliver to the Holder the Warrant ADSs in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant ADS Delivery Date (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by the Holder to the Company), and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, ADSs to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant ADSs which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the



Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the ADSs so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant ADSs that the Company failed to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue by (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant in respect of the equivalent number of Warrant ADSs for which such exercise was not honored and return any amount received by the Company in respect of the Exercise Price for those Warrant ADSs promptly (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder (in a manner which does not give rise to any UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax) the number of ADSs that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases ADSs having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Warrants with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver ADSs in accordance with Section 2(d)(i) upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(v) No Fractional Shares or Warrant ADSs. No fractional Warrant Shares or Warrant ADSs or scrip representing fractional Warrant Shares or Warrant ADSs shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of an ADS which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round down to the next whole ADS.

(vi) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Each Holder shall pay any fees charged by the Depositary under the terms of the Deposit Agreement in connection with the Warrants or Warrant ADSs. The Company shall pay any United Kingdom stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (“Transfer Taxes”) payable in connection with the issuance and delivery of the Warrants to the Holders. The Holder shall pay any stamp taxes and other similar transfer taxes and duties (including for the avoidance of doubt any United Kingdom stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax) payable in connection with the exercise of the Warrants and/or exchange of Ordinary Shares for Warrant ADSs in accordance with Section 2(d)(i), and shall indemnify the Company against any liability for or in respect of any such Transfer Taxes (excluding Transfer Taxes for which the Company is liable pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 2(d)(vi)) and any interest or penalties in respect thereof that the Company may incur upon or in connection with the same (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where the Company is liable to the Depositary to pay any such Transfer Taxes or any amount in respect thereof, but excluding any interest and/or penalties arising from the default or delay of any person other than the Holder). Warrant ADSs shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant ADSs are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, the Company shall not be required to pay any additional tax that may be payable in respect of such assignment and this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any tax incidental thereto.

(vii) Closing of Books. The Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

(e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that immediately prior to or after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any person that is deemed to beneficially own Ordinary Shares as a result of beneficial ownership thereby by the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates, including without limitation any group that includes the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such persons, collectively, the “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own Ordinary Shares



in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Ordinary Shares underlying such Warrant ADSs issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Ordinary Shares underlying Warrant ADSs which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other any securities of the Company or the Subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Ordinary Shares or ADSs ) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report or other public filings filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally or in writing to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding Ordinary Shares was reported. Any Warrant ADSs issued in breach of the terms of this Section 2(e) shall be null and void ab initio and shall remain issuable upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to its terms. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 19.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
Section 3.Certain Adjustments.

(a) Share Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a share dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on its ADSs or Ordinary Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in ADSs or Ordinary Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Ordinary Shares or ADSs issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding Ordinary Shares or ADSs into a larger number of Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as applicable, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse share split or consolidation) outstanding ADSs or Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as applicable or (iv) issues by reclassification of ADSs, Ordinary Shares or any shares in the capital of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares, outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of ADSs issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification. Notwithstanding Section 3(d) hereof, if the Company



engages in a transaction, including, but not limited to, a reorganization or amalgamation of the Company, where the surviving entity has substantially the same shareholders (with substantially the same proportionate shareholdings) as the Company immediately before such transaction (a “Reorganization”), and the Board decides (before the relevant event) that the Warrants will be exchanged automatically in consideration of the grant of new warrants for the subscription of shares in such surviving entity (“Surviving Entity Warrants”) which, in the opinion of the Board, are equivalent to the Warrants save that they relate to shares in such surviving entity, the Warrants will not (unless the Board determines otherwise) become exercisable or otherwise and will be exchanged automatically for such Surviving Entity Warrants in accordance with such Board determination.
(b) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the beneficial owners of any class of ADSs (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of ADSs acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the beneficial owners of ADSs are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such ADSs as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

(c) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, shares or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares or ADSs acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the beneficial owners of ADSs are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any Ordinary Shares or ADSs as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

(d) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another person (other than in connection with a Reorganization as defined in Section 3(a) above), (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, exclusive license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Ordinary Shares (including any Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs) are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Ordinary Shares (including any Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs), (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Ordinary Shares (including any Ordinary Shares underlying ADSs) or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Ordinary Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a share purchase agreement or



other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger, amalgamation or scheme of arrangement) with another person or group of persons whereby such other person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares (including any Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), to the extent any portion of this Warrant remains unexercised, then immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised for Warrant ADSs in accordance with the “cashless exercise” provisions of Section 2(c) hereof and the procedures of Section 2(d)(i) and the Warrant shall terminate and be of no further force and effect; provided, however, in the event the automatic exercise would result in Warrant ADSs issued in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (such excess, the “Excess Warrant ADSs”), the Company or any successor entity will additionally purchase this Warrant with respect to the Excess Warrant ADSs from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant with respect to the Excess Warrant ADSs based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to 100% obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration) on or before the date of consummation of the Fundamental Transaction.

(e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of an ADS, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of Ordinary Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares underlying ADSs, but excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

(f) Notice to Holder.

(i) Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant ADSs and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

(ii) Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Ordinary Shares or ADSs, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Ordinary Shares are converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by email to the Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Ordinary Shares, Warrant Shares underlying Warrant ADSs or Warrant ADSs (as the case may be) of record shall be



entitled to exchange their Ordinary Shares or Warrant ADSs for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Report on Form 6-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

(iii) Change in ADS Ratio. If after the Original Issuance Date the ADS ratio is increased or reduced, then the number of Warrant ADSs to be provided on exercise of a Warrant will be reduced or increased (respectively) in inverse proportion to the change in the ADS ratio of Ordinary Shares per ADS and the Exercise Price per Warrant will be increased or reduced (respectively) in proportion to the change in Ordinary Shares per ADS, so that the total number or Warrant Shares underlying the Warrants and the aggregate Exercise Price for all Warrants remain unchanged.

Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.

(a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within one Trading Day of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant ADSs without having a new Warrant issued.

(b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Initial Exercise Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant ADSs issuable pursuant thereto.

(c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company’s transfer agent (or an alternate agent upon notice to the Holder) for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

(d) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, provide to the Company an opinion of counsel, to the effect that the transfer of this Warrant does not



require registration under the Securities Act and such other documentation as the Company’s counsel deems necessary and appropriate.

Section 5. Miscellaneous.

(a) No Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant ADSs on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.

(b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any ADR (as defined in the Deposit Agreement) relating to the Warrant ADSs, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or ADR, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or ADR of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or ADR.

(c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

(d) Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, its directors will have sufficient authority to allot a sufficient number of shares on a non-preemptive basis to provide for the issuance of the Warrant ADSs and the underlying Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute sufficient authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the Warrant Shares needed for the Depositary to issue the necessary Warrant ADSs upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such commercially reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant ADSs may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the applicable Trading Market upon which the ADSs may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant ADSs which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant ADSs in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than any transfer restrictions and taxes in respect of such issue or any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue). Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its articles of association or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the nominal value of any Warrant ADSs above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in nominal value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant ADSs and the underlying Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant. Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant ADSs for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.




(e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of New York for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Warrant, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

(f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant ADSs acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by U.S. state and federal securities laws.

(g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of the Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

(h) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice of Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered by e-mail and addressed to the Company, at Warrantnotices@compasspathways.com with a copy to info@nevilleregistrars.co.uk and ryan.everett@citi.com, or such other email address or address as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder at the e-mail address or address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (ii) the next Business Day after the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section on a day that is not a Business Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, (iii) the second Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.

(i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant ADSs, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any ADSs or Ordinary Shares or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

(j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Warrant, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of monetary damages as a remedy or the posting of a bond. The Company



agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of the Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant ADSs.

(l) Company Acknowledgement. The Company acknowledges that the Company has received the aggregate nominal amount of the Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrant ADSs upon issue of this Warrant and the Company shall hold such aggregate nominal amount and shall apply it as applicable in connection with exercises of this Warrant pursuant to Section 2(c) herein.

(m) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

(n) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

(o) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

The purchase price of one Warrant ADS under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).

Section 2. Exercise.

(a)Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within one Business Day following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver to the Company (i) the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant



ADSs (or Pre-Funded Warrant) thereby purchased and specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise and (ii) any documentation required by the Depositary or the Company’s transfer agent from the holder (such date when the Company has received each of the Notice of Exercise, the Exercise Price and any documentation required by the Depositary or the Company’s transfer agent, the “Exercise Date”). No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender or cause the physical surrender of this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant ADSs available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender or cause the surrender of this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within one Business Day of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant ADSs available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant ADSs purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant ADSs purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant ADSs (or Pre-Funded Warrants) purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant ADSs hereunder, the number of Warrant ADSs available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

(b)Exercise Price. Subject to Section 2(c) hereof, the exercise price per ADS (or Pre-Funded Warrant) under this Warrant shall be US$5.796, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

(c)Cashless Exercise. If at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective or available registration statement registering, with a current prospectus available for, the issuance of the Warrant ADSs to the Holder or as described in Section 3(d) in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, then this Warrant may (if permitted by applicable law and the Company’s articles of association) also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant ADSs equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A)= as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(88) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price of the ADSs on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;

(B)= the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

(X)= the number of Warrant ADSs that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

If Warrant ADSs are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant ADSs shall take on the characteristics of the



Warrants being exercised, and for purposes of Rule 144 the holding period of the Warrant ADSs being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).

Bid Price” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the ADSs are then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the ADSs for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the ADSs are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the ADSs for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the ADSs are not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the ADSs are then reported on the Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per ADS so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of an ADS as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the holders of a majority in interest of the Pre-Funded Warrants issued on [•] and the Warrants then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the ADSs are then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the ADSs for such date if a Trading Day (and if not, the nearest preceding Trading Day) on the Trading Market on which the ADSs are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the ADSs for such date if a Trading Day (and if not, the nearest preceding Trading Day) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the ADSs are not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the ADSs are then reported on the Pink Open Market published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per ADS so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of an ADS as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the holders of a majority in interest of the Pre-Funded Warrants issued on [•] and the Warrants then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
    
Trading Market” means any of the following markets or exchanges on which the ADSs are listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange (or any successors to any of the foregoing).

(d)Mechanics of Exercise.
(i) Delivery of Warrant ADSs Upon Exercise. The Company shall or shall cause its agent to deposit the Warrant Shares subject to such exercise with the depositary for the ADSs (the “Depositary”) by way of (a) issuance directly to the nominee of the Depositary or (b) a transfer to the nominee of the Depositary that constitutes an “exempt capital-raising transfer” or “exempt listing transfer” within the meaning of sections 97AB and 97AC of the UK Finance Act 1986, and instruct the Depositary to credit the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company (other than a failure to deposit or credit, as the case may be, caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by the Holder) through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Depositary is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement with a current prospectus registering the issuance of the Warrant ADSs to the Holder or (B) the Warrant ADSs are eligible for resale by the Holder without the current information requirements, or the volume or manner-of-sale limitations, pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by electronic (registered in book-entry format) or physical delivery of an ADR (as defined in that certain Deposit Agreement by and among the Company, the Depositary, and the holders and beneficial owners of American Depositary Shares issued thereunder, dated as of September 22, 2020 (the “Deposit Agreement”)) for the number of Warrant ADSs to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise, in each case (provided that the whole



Exercise Price payable has been received by the Company, it being understood and agreed that in the case of either an exercise pursuant to Section 2(a) or a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c), the original Holder (i) has paid the nominal value of the Warrant Shares to be used in the event of such exercise on the date of issue of this Warrant and such amount shall be held by the Company and no additional consideration for the nominal value shall be required to be paid by the Holder to effect an exercise of this Warrant as each Warrant Share shall be issued at nominal value and no share premium shall be payable thereon and (ii) the Holder shall not be entitled to the return or refund of all, or any portion, of such pre-funded nominal value under any circumstance or for any reason whatsoever, including in the event this Warrant shall not have been exercised prior to the Termination Date) by the date that is one Business Day after the Exercise Date (such date, the “Warrant ADS Delivery Date”). If the Warrant ADSs can be delivered via DWAC, then in addition to the delivery of the Warrant Shares to the Depositary in the manner contemplated above, within one Business Day of the Exercise Date, the Depositary shall have received any legal opinions and instructions from the Company, representations from Holders or other documentation required by the Depositary to deliver such ADSs without a restrictive legend. The Holder (or other person named in the Notice of Exercise as recipient of the Warrant ADSs) shall be treated by the Company as if it were the beneficial owner of the Warrant Shares represented by the Warrant ADSs (or Pre-Funded Warrant) subject to a Notice of Exercise for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the applicable Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi), prior to the issuance of such Warrant ADSs (or Pre-Funded Warrant) having been made. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver, or cause the Depositary to deliver, to the Holder the Warrant ADSs (or Pre-Funded Warrant) subject to a Notice of Exercise in the manner contemplated by this Agreement by the Warrant ADS Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $2,000 of Warrant ADSs subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the ADSs on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Business Day (increasing to $20 per Business Day on the fifth Business Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Business Day after such Warrant ADS Delivery Date until such Warrant ADSs are delivered in the manner contemplated above or the Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a depositary and transfer agent (if applicable) that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means (I) if the ADSs are then listed on a Trading Market, the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the ADSs as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise, (II) if the ADSs are listed on OTCQB or OTCQX, then the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the OTCQB or OTCQX, as the case may be or (III) if the ADSs are not then listed on a Trading Market, OTCQB or OTCQX, and prices for the ADSs are then reported in The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), then two Trading Days.

(ii) Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant, at the time of delivery of the Warrant ADSs, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant ADSs called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

(iii) Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Depositary to transmit to the Holder the Warrant ADSs pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant ADS Delivery Date (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by the Holder to the Company), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise in respect of the untransmitted Warrant ADSs (with the effect that the Holder’s right to acquire such Warrant ADSs pursuant to this Warrant shall be restored) and the Company shall promptly return to the Holder the aggregate Exercise Price paid to the Company for such Warrant ADSs.

(iv) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant ADSs Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Depositary to deliver to the Holder the Warrant ADSs in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant ADS Delivery Date (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by the Holder to the Company), and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, ADSs to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant ADSs which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the



Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the ADSs so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant ADSs that the Company failed to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue by (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant in respect of the equivalent number of Warrant ADSs for which such exercise was not honored and return any amount received by the Company in respect of the Exercise Price for those Warrant ADSs promptly (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder (in a manner which does not give rise to any UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax) the number of ADSs that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases ADSs having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Warrants with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver ADSs in accordance with Section 2(d)(i) upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(v) No Fractional Shares or Warrant ADSs. No fractional Warrant Shares or Warrant ADSs or scrip representing fractional Warrant Shares or Warrant ADSs shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of an ADS which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round down to the next whole ADS.

(vi) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Each Holder shall pay any fees charged by the Depositary under the terms of the Deposit Agreement in connection with the Warrants or Warrant ADSs. The Company shall pay any United Kingdom stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (“Transfer Taxes”) payable in connection with the issuance and delivery of the Warrants and/or Pre-Funded Warrants to the Holders. The Holder shall pay any stamp taxes and other similar transfer taxes and duties (including for the avoidance of doubt any United Kingdom stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax) payable in connection with the exercise of the Warrants and/or exchange of Ordinary Shares for Warrant ADSs in accordance with Section 2(d)(i) and shall indemnify the Company against any liability for or in respect of any such Transfer Taxes (excluding Transfer Taxes for which the Company is liable pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 2(d)(vi)) and any interest or penalties in respect thereof that the Company may incur upon or in connection with the same (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where the Company is liable to the Depositary to pay any such Transfer Taxes or any amount in respect thereof, but excluding any interest and/or penalties arising from the default or delay of any person other than the Holder). Warrant ADSs shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant ADSs are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, the Company shall not be required to pay any additional tax that may be payable in respect of such assignment and this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any tax incidental thereto.

(vii) Closing of Books. The Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

(e)Holder’s Exercise Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant for Warrant ADSs, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant for Warrant ADSs, pursuant to this Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that immediately prior to or after giving effect to such issuance of Warrant ADSs after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any person that is deemed to beneficially own Ordinary Shares as a result of beneficial ownership thereby by the Holder or any of the



Holder’s Affiliates, including without limitation any group that includes the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such persons, collectively, the “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own Ordinary Shares in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below); provided, however, the Holder must request in the Notice of Exercise to be issued a Pre-Funded Warrant for the number of Warrant ADSs that would result in the Holder beneficially owning Ordinary Shares in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation instead of Warrant ADSs. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Ordinary Shares underlying such Warrant ADSs issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Ordinary Shares underlying Warrant ADSs which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other any securities of the Company or the Subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Ordinary Shares or ADSs ) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report or other public filings filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally or in writing to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding Ordinary Shares was reported. Any Warrant ADSs issued in breach of the terms of this Section 2(e) shall be null and void ab initio and shall remain issuable upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to its terms. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 19.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
(f) Forced Exercise. Subject to the terms set forth herein, on or after the Initial Exercise Date and so long as the closing price of the Company’s ADSs on each of the three Trading Days prior to the date of the Forced Exercise Notice (as defined below) is above the Exercise Price, the Company may force exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, for cash or, at the Company’s discretion, by cashless exercise as specified in Section 2(c) by delivering to the Holder a notice of forced exercise (“Forced Exercise Notice”). Within one Business Day of the Forced Exercise Notice, the Holder shall deliver to the Company a Notice of Exercise specifying the number of Warrant ADSs and, if subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the number of Warrant ADSs subject to a Pre-Funded Warrant, to be purchased based on the amount required in the Forced Exercise Notice. Within one Business Day following the receipt by the Company of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall deliver to the Company the aggregate Exercise



Price for the Warrant ADSs and Pre-Funded Warrants, if applicable, thereby purchased and specified in the applicable Forced Exercise Notice by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank. The Company and Holder shall otherwise follow the procedures in Section 2(d).
Section 3.Certain Adjustments.

(a) Share Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a share dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on its ADSs or Ordinary Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in ADSs or Ordinary Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Ordinary Shares or ADSs issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding Ordinary Shares or ADSs into a larger number of Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as applicable, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse share split or consolidation) outstanding ADSs or Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of Ordinary Shares or ADSs, as applicable or (iv) issues by reclassification of ADSs, Ordinary Shares or any shares in the capital of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares, outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of ADSs issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification. Notwithstanding Section 3(d) hereof, if the Company engages in a transaction, including, but not limited to, a reorganization or amalgamation of the Company, where the surviving entity has substantially the same shareholders (with substantially the same proportionate shareholdings) as the Company immediately before such transaction (a “Reorganization”), and the Board decides (before the relevant event) that the Warrants will be exchanged automatically in consideration of the grant of new warrants for the subscription of shares in such surviving entity (“Surviving Entity Warrants”) which, in the opinion of the Board, are equivalent to the Warrants save that they relate to shares in such surviving entity, the Warrants will not (unless the Board determines otherwise) become exercisable or otherwise and will be exchanged automatically for such Surviving Entity Warrants in accordance with such Board determination.

(b) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the beneficial owners of any class of ADSs (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of ADSs acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the beneficial owners of ADSs are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such ADSs as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

(c) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, shares or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares or ADSs acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution,



or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the beneficial owners of ADSs are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any Ordinary Shares or ADSs as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

(d) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another person (other than in connection with a Reorganization as defined in Section 3(a) above), (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, exclusive license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Ordinary Shares (including any Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs) are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Ordinary Shares (including any Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs), (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Ordinary Shares (including any Ordinary Shares underlying ADSs) or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Ordinary Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger, amalgamation or scheme of arrangement) with another person or group of persons whereby such other person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares (including any Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), to the extent any portion of this Warrant remains unexercised, then immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised for Warrant ADSs in accordance with the “cashless exercise” provisions of Section 2(c) hereof and the procedures of Section 2(d)(i) and the Warrant shall terminate and be of no further force and effect; provided, however, in the event the automatic exercise would result in Warrant ADSs issued in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (such excess, the “Excess Warrant ADSs”), the Company or any successor entity will additionally purchase this Warrant with respect to the Excess Warrant ADSs from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant with respect to the Excess Warrant ADSs based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to 100% obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration) on or before the date of consummation of the Fundamental Transaction.

(e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of an ADS, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of Ordinary Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares underlying ADSs, but excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

(f) Notice to Holder.




(i) Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant ADSs and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

(ii) Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Ordinary Shares or ADSs, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Ordinary Shares are converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by email to the Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Ordinary Shares, Warrant Shares underlying Warrant ADSs, or Warrant ADSs (as the case may be) of record shall be entitled to exchange their Ordinary Shares or Warrant ADSs for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Report on Form 6-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

(iii) Change in ADS Ratio. If after the Original Issuance Date the ADS ratio is increased or reduced, then the number of Warrant ADSs to be provided on exercise of a Warrant will be reduced or increased (respectively) in inverse proportion to the change in the ADS ratio of Ordinary Shares per ADS and the Exercise Price per Warrant will be increased or reduced (respectively) in proportion to the change in Ordinary Shares per ADS, so that the total number or Warrant Shares underlying the Warrants and the aggregate Exercise Price for all Warrants remain unchanged.

Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.

(a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within one Trading Day of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in



accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant ADSs without having a new Warrant issued.

(b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Initial Exercise Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant ADSs issuable pursuant thereto.

(c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company’s transfer agent (or an alternate agent upon notice to the Holder) for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

(d) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, provide to the Company an opinion of counsel, to the effect that the transfer of this Warrant does not require registration under the Securities Act and such other documentation as the Company’s counsel deems necessary and appropriate.

Section 5. Miscellaneous.

(a) No Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant ADSs on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.

(b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any ADR (as defined in the Deposit Agreement) relating to the Warrant ADSs, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or ADR, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or ADR of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or ADR.

(c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

(d) Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, its directors will have sufficient authority to allot a sufficient number of shares on a non-preemptive basis to provide for the issuance of the Warrant ADSs and the underlying Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute sufficient authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the Warrant Shares needed for the Depositary to issue the necessary Warrant ADSs upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such commercially reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant ADSs may be issued as



provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the applicable Trading Market upon which the ADSs may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant ADSs which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant ADSs in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than any transfer restrictions and taxes in respect of such issue or any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue). Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its articles of association or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the nominal value of any Warrant ADSs above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in nominal value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant ADSs and the underlying Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant. Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant ADSs for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

(e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of New York for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Warrant, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

(f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant ADSs acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by U.S. state and federal securities laws.

(g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of the Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.




(h) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice of Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered by e-mail and addressed to the Company at Warrantnotices@compasspathways.com with a copy to info@nevilleregistrars.co.uk and ryan.everett@citi.com, or such other email address or address as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder at the e-mail address or address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (ii) the next Business Day after the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section on a day that is not a Business Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, (iii) the second Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.

(i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant ADSs, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any ADSs or Ordinary Shares or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

(j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Warrant, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of monetary damages as a remedy or the posting of a bond. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of the Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant ADSs.

(l) Company Acknowledgement. The Company acknowledges that the Company has received the aggregate nominal amount of the Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrant ADSs upon issue of this Warrant and the Company shall hold such aggregate nominal amount and shall apply it as applicable in connection with exercises of this Warrant pursuant to Section 2(c) herein.

(m) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

(n) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

(o) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

London and New York, January 10, 2025
Compass Pathways plc (Nasdaq: CMPS), a biotechnology company dedicated to accelerating patient access to evidence-based innovation in mental health, today announced the pricing of an underwritten offering of 24,014,728 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) and in lieu of ADS, to certain institutional investors, pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 11,044,720 ADSs. Each ADS and pre-funded warrant shall be accompanied by a warrant (“ADS Warrant”) to purchase one ADS, which has an exercise price of $5.796 per ADS, representing a 40% premium to the last sale price and will be exercisable following a specified data milestone. The offering price is $4.275 per ADS and accompanying ADS Warrant, and $4.2649 per pre-funded warrant and accompanying ADS Warrant. All of the securities are to be sold by Compass. The offering is expected to close on or about January 13, 2025, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The offering was led by Deep Track Capital and included participation from high quality new and existing investors.
The gross proceeds to Compass from the offering, before deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses, are expected to be approximately $150 million, and up to approximately $353 million if the ADS Warrants are fully exercised for cash.
Compass intends to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with its existing cash and cash equivalents, to fund its ongoing COMP005 and COMP006 Phase 3 trials in treatment-resistant depression with data expected in the second quarter of 2025 and second half of 2026, respectively. Net proceeds will also be used to accelerate a late-stage development program in PTSD, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
TD Cowen, Cantor, Stifel and RBC Capital Markets are joint book running managers for the offering.
The securities are being offered by Compass Pathways pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File no. 333-282522) previously filed on October 7, 2024 and declared effective by the SEC on October 17, 2024, and Compass Pathways will also file a final prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus relating to and describing the terms of the offering with the SEC.
