The Management Board may also authorize one or more employees of the Company to select individuals to participate in this Plan and to determine the number and amount of Awards to be granted to such Participants. Any reference in this Plan to the Management Board shall include such authorized officer or officers.

The determinations of the Management Board shall be made in accordance with its judgment as to the best interests of the Company and Evotec and its shareholders and in accordance with the purposes of this Plan.

EVOTEC US RSU PLAN TERMS 2023

All Stock issued under this Plan may be either authorized and unissued Stock (from a capital increase against contribution in kind) or issued Stock reacquired by Evotec (including treasury shares). If the Restricted Share Units are to be settled with newly issued Stock from a capital increase against contribution in kind, Participants may be required to participate in the capital increase in accordance with German law which may, inter alia, entail entering into a contribution agreement with Evotec and signing a subscription certificate.

The Stock reserved for issuance and the other limitations set forth above shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 9(a) hereof.

6. Types of Awards, Payments, and Limitations. Awards shall consist of Restricted Share Units as described in Section 7. Payment of Awards may be in the form of cash, Stock, or combinations thereof as the Management Board shall determine, and with the expectation that any Award of Stock shall be styled to preserve such restrictions as it may impose. The Management Board may require the execution of any such agreement by a Participant. Acceptance of the Award by the applicable Participant shall constitute agreement by the Participant to the terms and conditions of the Award.

The Management Board may (but need not) provide that any Awards earn dividends or dividend equivalents and interest on such dividends or dividend equivalents. Such dividends or dividend equivalents may be paid currently or may be credited to a Participant’s Plan account and are subject to the same terms and conditions as the underlying Award. Any crediting of dividends or dividend equivalents may be subject to such terms and conditions as the Management Board may establish, including reinvestment in additional Stock or Stock equivalents.

Awards shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that sets forth the terms, conditions and limitations of such Award. Such terms may include, but are not limited to, the term of the Award, the provisions applicable in the event the Participant’s employment terminates, and the Evotec’s authority (subject to the provisions of Section 14 hereof) to unilaterally or bilaterally amend, modify, suspend, cancel or rescind any Award, including, without limitation, the ability to amend such Awards to comply with changes in applicable law. An Award may also be subject to other provisions (whether or not applicable to similar Awards granted to other Participants) as the Management Board determines appropriate, including provisions intended to comply with applicable securities laws, stock exchange and other regulatory requirements, understandings or conditions as to the Participant’s employment, requirements or inducements for continued ownership of Stock after vesting of Awards, or forfeiture of Awards in the event of termination of employment shortly after vesting, or breach of noncompetition, non-solicitation, confidentiality or other covenants following termination of employment.

Restricted Share Units shall be subject to vesting conditions and such other terms and conditions as the Management Board determines, including, without limitation, any of the following:

(a) a prohibition against sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other encumbrance for a specified period; and

(b) a requirement that the holder forfeit the Restricted Share Units in the event of termination of employment during the period of restriction.

All restrictions shall expire and the Award shall vest at such times as the Management Board shall specify in the Award Agreement.

8. Change of Control.

(a) Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, or otherwise determined by the Management Board, unless Awards are not assumed, converted or replaced in connection with a transaction that constitutes a Change of Control (in which case such Awards shall vest immediately prior to the Change of Control), notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, in the event that the employment of the Participant is involuntarily terminated by the Company, or the applicable Subsidiary or Joint Venture, (or the applicable successor to such entity) other than for Cause within a twelve (12) month period following the effective date of a Change of Control (a “Termination Event”):

(i) all Restricted Share Units shall be considered to be earned and vested and payable in full, and such Awards shall be settled in cash or shares, or in any combination thereof, as determined by the Management Board in its discretion, as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than 60 days following the Termination Event); and

(ii) subject to the terms of this Plan, the Management Board may also make additional adjustments and/or settlements of outstanding Awards as it deems appropriate and consistent with this Plan’s purposes and applicable law.

(b) In the event of a Change of Control, the Management Board may in its discretion and upon at least ten (10) days’ advance notice to the affected Participants, cancel any outstanding Awards and pay to the holders thereof, in cash or shares, or any combination thereof, the value of such Awards based upon the price per share received or to be received by other shareholders of Evotec in the event.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Award is subject to Section 409A, this Section 8 shall be applicable only to the extent specifically provided in the Award Agreement and in accordance with Section 409A.

(d) To the extent the effect of a Change of Control on any Award granted under this Plan is not otherwise addressed in this Section 8 or the applicable Award Agreement, the Management Board may, in its sole discretion, as to any such Award, take any one or more of the following actions: (i) provide for the acceleration of any time periods relating to the vesting or realization of any such Award so that such Award may be realized in full on or before a date fixed by the Management Board; (ii) provide for the purchase of any such Award; (iii) make such adjustment to any such Award then outstanding as the Management Board deems appropriate to reflect such Change of Control; (iv) cause any such Award then outstanding to be assumed, or new rights substituted therefor, by the successor company (or a subsidiary or affiliate of such successor company, as applicable) after such Change of Control; or (v) take any other action with respect to such Award as the Management Board may determine is appropriate, in its sole discretion.

EVOTEC US RSU PLAN TERMS 2023

19. Section 409A. Awards generally are intended to be exempt from Section 409A; provided, however, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Plan or any agreement or notice governing any Award, the following provisions shall apply if and to the extent any payment made pursuant to an Award is subject to (and not exempt from) Section 409A:

(a) Such payment shall comply with Section 409A and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Plan shall be interpreted, and such payment shall be made under such other conditions determined by the Management Board that cause such payment, to be in compliance with Section 409A.

(b) A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Plan or an Award providing for the payment of any amounts upon or following a Participant’s termination date unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, applying the default rules thereof.

(c) With respect to any payment that is otherwise payable upon a Participant’s separation from service, in the event the Participant is a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A), any such payment that would otherwise have been payable in the first six (6) months following the Participant’s separation from service date will not be paid to the Participant until the date that is six (6) months and one day following the Participant’s separation from service date (or, if earlier, the Participant’s date of death), with any such deferred payments being paid in a lump sum; provided that, thereafter, the remainder of any such payments shall be payable in accordance with the terms of this Plan or the Award Agreement, as the case may be.

Evotec shall have no liability for any tax imposed on a Participant under Section 409A, and if any tax is imposed on a Participant, the Participant shall have no recourse against Evotec for payment of any such tax.
