TABLE OF CONTENTS

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THESE PROXY MATERIALS AND VOTING
Why did I receive a notice regarding the availability of proxy materials on the Internet?
Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the Internet. Accordingly, we have sent you a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) because the Board of Directors of Roivant Sciences Ltd. (“Roivant,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is soliciting your proxy to vote at the 2023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”), including at any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting. All shareholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice or request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. You may find instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet or to request a printed copy in the Notice.
We intend to mail the Notice on or about July 31, 2023, to all shareholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
Will I receive any other proxy materials by mail?
We may send you a proxy card, along with a full set of materials, on or after August 1, 2023.
Where and when will the Annual Meeting be held?
The Annual Meeting will be on Tuesday, September 12, 2023, at 10:30 a.m. United Kingdom local time, at the Royal Lancaster London Hotel, Lancaster Terrace, London W2 2TY, United Kingdom. Information on how to vote in person at the Annual Meeting is discussed below.
Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?
Our Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on Monday, July 17, 2023 as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting, or at any adjournment of the Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”). Only shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 768,357,739 common shares outstanding and entitled to vote.
Shareholder of Record: Common Shares Registered in Your Name
If, on Monday, July 17, 2023, your common shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, then you are a shareholder of record. As a shareholder of record, you may vote by proxy as specified in the proxy materials or you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy over the Internet or by telephone, or vote by proxy by using a proxy card that you may request or that we may elect to deliver to you at a later time, to ensure your vote is counted.
Beneficial Owner: Common Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Bank, or Agent
If, on Monday, July 17, 2023, your common shares were held not in your name, but rather in an account at your broker, bank or other agent, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and the Notice is being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered to be the shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank, or other agent regarding how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote your common shares in person at the meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank, or other agent.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What am I voting on?
There are two matters scheduled for a vote:
1.
To elect two (2) directors, Daniel Gold and Meghan FitzGerald, DrPH, to serve as Class II directors to hold office until the date of the annual general meeting of shareholders following the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.
2.
To ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, and to appoint EY as our auditor for statutory purposes under the Bermuda Companies Act 1981, as amended (the “Companies Act”), for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2024.
In addition to the two matters scheduled for a vote, in accordance with the Companies Act and Section 73 of our Amended and Restated Bye-laws (the “Bye-laws”), our audited financial statements as of and for our fiscal year ended on March 31, 2023, will be laid before the Annual Meeting. These financial statements were audited by EY. The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have approved these financial statements. There is no requirement under Bermuda law that these financial statements be approved by our shareholders and no such approval will be sought at the Annual Meeting. Copies of these proxy materials have been provided to EY, our auditor for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, as required by the Companies Act.
What if another matter is properly brought before the Annual Meeting?
The Board of Directors knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named on the proxy card to vote all shares represented by valid proxies on those matters in accordance with their best judgment.
How do I vote?
For Proposal 1, you may vote “For” both of the nominees to the Board of Directors or you may “Withhold” your vote with respect to one or more nominees. “Withhold” votes will not be counted as votes in favor or votes against and, as such, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. For Proposal 2, you may vote “For” or “Against” or abstain from voting. Abstentions and withheld votes are not considered to be votes cast and therefore will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. For Proposal 2, this matter is considered “routine,” which means brokers may vote shares even if not instructed by the proxyholder. As a result, we do not expect broker non-votes on Proposal 2.
The procedures for voting are described below.
Shareholder of Record: Common Shares Registered in Your Name
If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting, vote by proxy over the Internet or by telephone, or vote by proxy by using a proxy card that you may request or that we may elect to deliver to you at a later time. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person even if you have already voted by proxy.
To vote in person, come to the Annual Meeting and we will give you a ballot when you arrive.
To vote using a proxy card, which you may request or we may elect to deliver to you, simply complete, sign and date the proxy card and return it promptly in the envelope provided with the proxy card. If you return your signed proxy card to us before the Annual Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct. If you vote over the Internet or telephone, you are not required to mail a proxy card.
To vote over the telephone, dial toll-free 1-800-690-6903 using a touch-tone phone and follow the recorded instructions. You will be asked to provide the vote control number from the Notice. Have your Notice in hand when you call and follow the instructions. Your vote must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on September 11, 2023, to be counted.
To vote over the Internet, go to http://www.proxyvote.com to complete an electronic proxy card. You will be asked to provide the vote control number from the Notice. Have your Notice in hand when you access the web site and follow the instructions to obtain your records and to create an electronic voting instruction form. Your vote must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on September 11, 2023, to be counted.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Beneficial Owner: Common Shares Registered in the Name of Broker, Bank, or Agent
If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you should have received a Notice containing voting instructions from that organization, rather than from Roivant. Simply follow the voting instructions in the Notice to ensure that your vote is counted. You may vote by telephone or over the Internet as instructed by your broker, bank, or other agent. To vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or other agent. Follow the instructions from your broker, bank or other agent included with these proxy materials, or contact your broker, bank or other agent to request a proxy form.
Internet proxy voting is provided to allow you to vote your shares online, with procedures designed to ensure the authenticity and correctness of your proxy vote instructions. However, please be aware that you must bear any costs associated with your Internet access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies.
How many votes do I have?
On each matter to be voted upon, you have one vote for each common share you owned as of the close of business on Monday, July 17, 2023.
What happens if I do not vote?
Shareholder of Record: Common Shares Registered in Your Name
If you are a shareholder of record and do not vote in person during the Annual Meeting, do not complete and deliver a proxy card or vote by proxy over the Internet or telephone, your shares will not be voted.
Beneficial Owner: Common Shares Registered in the Name of Broker, Bank or Agent
If you are a beneficial owner and do not instruct your broker, bank or other agent how to vote your shares, the question of whether your broker or nominee will still be able to vote your shares depends on whether the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (whose rules generally apply to all brokers or nominees) deems the particular proposal to be a “routine” matter. Brokers and nominees can use their discretion to vote “uninstructed” shares with respect to matters that are considered to be “routine,” but they may not do so with respect to “non-routine” matters. Under the rules and interpretations of the NYSE, “non-routine” matters are matters that may substantially affect the rights or privileges of shareholders, such as mergers, shareholder proposals, elections of directors (even if not contested) and certain corporate governance proposals (even if management-supported). Since the election of directors is not considered to be a routine matter, your broker, bank or other agent may not vote your shares on Proposal 1 without your instructions. Since the ratification of the appointment of EY as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2024 is generally considered to be a routine matter, we believe that your broker, bank or other agent may vote your shares on Proposal 2, even in the absence of your instructions.
What if I am a holder of record and return a proxy card or otherwise vote, but do not make specific choices?
If you are a holder of record and return a signed and dated proxy card or otherwise vote without marking voting selections, your shares will be voted, as applicable:
1.
“For” the election of each of the two (2) nominees for Class II director in Proposal 1; and
2.
“For” Proposal 2, to ratify the appointment of EY as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, and to appoint EY as our auditor for statutory purposes under the Companies Act for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2024.
If any other matter is properly presented at the meeting, your proxyholder (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares using his or her best judgment.
Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?
We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these proxy materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokers, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What does it mean if I receive more than one Notice or set of Proxy Materials?
If you receive more than one Notice or set of proxy materials, your shares may be registered in more than one name or in different accounts. Please follow the voting instructions on each Notice to ensure that all of your shares are voted.
Can I revoke my proxy or change my vote after submitting my proxy?
Shareholder of Record: Common Shares Registered in Your Name
Yes. You can revoke your proxy or change your vote at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are the record holder of your shares, you may revoke your proxy or change your vote in any one of the following ways:
1.
You may submit another properly completed proxy card with a later date.
2.
You may grant a subsequent proxy by telephone or over the Internet.
3.
You may send a timely written notice that you are revoking your proxy to Roivant Sciences Ltd., Attn: Secretary, at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda.
4.
You may attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. Simply attending the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.
If you do not vote at the Annual Meeting, your most current proxy card, or vote by proxy over the Internet or telephone, unless revoked, reflects the vote that will be counted.
Beneficial Owner: Common Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank
If your shares are held by your broker or bank as a nominee or agent, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker or bank.
When are shareholder proposals and director nominations due for next year’s annual general meeting of shareholders?
To be considered for inclusion in our proxy materials for next year’s annual general meeting of shareholders, your proposal must be submitted in writing by April 3, 2024, to our Secretary at Roivant Sciences Ltd., Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda. Any member submitting a shareholder proposal to be included in our proxy statement must comply with the provisions of SEC rule 14a-8.
If you wish to nominate an individual for election or bring other business before next year’s annual general meeting of shareholders that is not to be included in next year’s proxy materials pursuant to the shareholder proposal procedures under the rules and regulations of the SEC, you must deliver your notice to our Secretary at the address mentioned above no earlier than May 15, 2024, and no later than June 14, 2024; provided that if the date of the annual general meeting of shareholders is earlier than August 14, 2024, or later than October 11, 2024, you must submit your proposal to the address mentioned above not later than ten (10) days following the earlier of the date on which notice of the annual general meeting was posted to our shareholders or the date on which public disclosure of the date of the annual general meeting was made. Any such nomination by a shareholder or other business must comply with the provisions of Bye-law 26. In addition to complying with the advance notice provisions of our Amended and Restated Bye-laws, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of direct nominees other than the Company’s nominees must give timely notice that complies with the additional requirements of the SEC’s universal proxy rule, Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act, which must be received no later than July 12, 2024. If the date of next year’s annual general meeting of shareholders changes by more than 30 days from the date of the 2023 Annual Meeting, such notice must instead be provided by the later of 60 days prior to the date of such annual general meeting of shareholders or the 10th day following public announcement by the Company of the date of the 2024 annual general meeting of shareholders.
What are “broker non-votes”?
As discussed above, when a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” does not give instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares as to how to vote on matters deemed by the NYSE (whose rules generally apply to all brokers or nominees, regardless of the exchange on which a company is listed) to be

TABLE OF CONTENTS

“non-routine” (e.g., the election of directors), the broker or nominee cannot vote the shares. These unvoted shares are counted as “broker non-votes.” For matters deemed by the NYSE to be “routine” (e.g., the ratification of the independent registered public accounting firm), member firms have the discretionary authority vote shares for which their customers do not provide voting instructions.
How many votes are needed to approve each proposal?
The following table summarizes the minimum vote needed to approve each proposal and whether discretionary voting is permitted.
Proposal

Election of Directors
Plurality of Votes Cast (the two nominees who receive the most “For” votes cast will be elected as directors)
No
 
 
 
 
2.
Ratification of EY as our independent registered public accounting firm
Majority of Votes Cast (the affirmative votes of a majority of the votes cast)
Yes
What is the quorum requirement?
A quorum of shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if two or more persons present in person and representing in person or by proxy in excess of 50% of the total voting rights of all issued and outstanding shares of the common shares.
Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other agent) or if you vote in person at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement.
If, within half an hour from the time appointed for the Annual Meeting a quorum is not present, then the meeting will stand adjourned to the same day one week later, at the same time and place or to such other day, time or place as the Secretary may determine. Unless the meeting is adjourned to a specific date, place and time announced at the Annual Meeting being adjourned, new notice of the date, place and time for the resumption of the adjourned meeting will be given to each shareholder entitled to attend and vote thereat in accordance with our Bye-laws.
How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?
Preliminary voting results may be announced at the Annual Meeting. In addition, final voting results will be published in a Current Report on Form 8-K that we expect to file with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting, we intend to file a Current Report on Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and, within four business days after the final results are known to us, file an additional Current Report on Form 8-K to publish the final results.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Our Board of Directors currently has eight members, who are divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. At the Annual Meeting, the two (2) Class II directors will be nominated for election to a three-year term, to hold office until the date of the annual general meeting of shareholders following the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. Both of these nominees are Class II directors whose current term is expiring. Each director will continue in office until the election and qualification of a successor or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.
Nominees
Our Nominating and Governance Committee has recommended, and our Board of Directors has approved, Daniel Gold and Meghan FitzGerald, DrPH, as nominees for election as Class II directors at the Annual Meeting.
Mr. Gold has served on Roivant’s Board of Directors since 2020 and Ms. FitzGerald has served on Roivant’s Board of Directors since March 2023. For additional information regarding the director nominees’ backgrounds and experiences, see “Directors Standing for Election at this Annual Meeting” below.
If you are a shareholder of record and you sign your proxy card or vote over the Internet or by telephone but do not give instructions with respect to the voting of directors, your shares will be voted FOR the election of Mr. Gold and Ms. FitzGerald. We expect that the nominees will serve if elected. However, if a director nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the Annual Meeting, proxies will be voted for any nominee who is designated by our Board of Directors to fill the resulting vacancy (or, alternatively, the Board of Directors may reduce its size). If you own your common shares through a broker, bank or other nominee and you do not give voting instructions, then your shares will not be voted on this matter. For more information, please see “Questions and Answers About These Proxy Materials and Voting—What if I am a holder of record and return a proxy card or otherwise vote, but do not make specific choices?” on page 3.
Vote Required
The election of the Class II directors requires a plurality of the votes properly cast to be approved. Withheld votes and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and therefore will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.
Recommendation
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the election of each of the two nominees as a Class II director to serve a three-year term, to hold office until the date of the annual general meeting of shareholders following the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

Board of Directors’ Role in Risk Management
Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks, including risks relating to our financial condition, development and commercialization activities, strategic direction, clinical and regulatory matters, operations and intellectual property. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks we face, while our Board of Directors, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, our Board of Directors has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed.
The role of our Board of Directors in overseeing the management of our risks is conducted primarily through committees of the Board of Directors, as disclosed in the descriptions of each of the committees below and in the charters of each of the committees. The full Board of Directors (or the appropriate committee of the Board of
9

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Directors in the case of risks that are under the purview of a particular committee) discusses with management our major risk exposures, their potential impact on our company, and the steps we take to manage them. When a Board of Directors committee is responsible for evaluating and overseeing the management of a particular risk or risks, the chair of the relevant committee reports on the discussion to the full Board of Directors during the committee reports portion of the next Board of Directors meeting. This enables our Board of Directors and its committees to coordinate the risk oversight role, particularly with respect to risk interrelationships.
Board of Directors
Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors consists of eight members, with Ilan Oren serving as Chair. Our Bye-laws provide for a classified Board of Directors divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms as follows:
Class I directors are Ms. Epperly, Dr. Manchester and Mr. Gline, serving until our annual general meeting of shareholders in 2025;
Class II directors are Mr. Gold and Ms. FitzGerald, serving until this annual general meeting of shareholders; and
Class III directors are Mr. Nomura, Mr. Oren and Mr. Momtazee, serving until our annual general meeting of shareholders in 2024.
At each annual general meeting of shareholders, directors will be elected to succeed the class of directors whose terms have expired. This classification of our Board of Directors could have the effect of increasing the length of time necessary to change the composition of a majority of the Board of Directors. Our Bye-laws provide that the authorized number of directors (being no less than 5 directors and no more than 15 directors) may be changed only by resolution approved by a majority of our Board of Directors.
During our fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, our Board of Directors held a total of seven meetings. All directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the number of Board of Directors meetings and meetings of the Board of Directors committees on which each such director served during the time each such director served on the Board of Directors or such committees. Three directors attended our 2022 annual general meeting of shareholders. Members of our Board of Directors are expected to attend all meetings of the Board of Directors and all meetings of the committees on which they serve. We encourage but do not require directors to attend our annual general meetings of shareholders.
Director Independence
Our Board of Directors has undertaken a review of the independence of the directors and has considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. As a result of this review, our Board of Directors has determined that each of Mr. Oren, Ms. FitzGerald, Ms. Epperly, Dr. Manchester, Mr. Gold and Mr. Momtazee, representing six of the eight individuals serving as members of our Board of Directors, are independent, as that term is defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing rules of Nasdaq. We comply with the corporate governance requirements of the SEC and listing rules of Nasdaq. We also comply with the requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and the listing rules of Nasdaq, which rules require that our Audit Committee be composed of at least three members meeting the requirements specified thereunder.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Governance Committee, each of which has the composition and responsibilities described below. From time to time, our Board of Directors may establish other committees to facilitate the management of our business. The charters for each of the Board of Directors committees are available on our website at https://investor.roivant.com/corporate-governance.
Audit Committee

Ms. FitzGerald was appointed as a member of our Audit Committee on July 28, 2023.

In addition, our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Momtazee is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act. This designation will not impose any duties, obligations or liabilities that are greater than are generally imposed on members of our Audit Committee and our Board of Directors.
Our Audit Committee is directly responsible for, among other things:
selecting a firm to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements;
ensuring the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm;
discussing the scope and results of the audit with the independent registered public accounting firm and reviewing, with management and that firm, our interim and year-end operating results;

During our fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, our Audit Committee held four meetings.
Compensation Committee
The members of our Compensation Committee are Mr. Gold (Chair) and Mr. Oren. Mr. Machado also served as a member of our Compensation Committee until he stepped down from our Board of Directors on June 29, 2022. Each member of our Compensation Committee is a non-employee director, as defined by Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and meets the requirements for independence under the current listing standards of Nasdaq and SEC rules and regulations.

Board Leadership Structure
Currently, the role of Chair of the Board of Directors is separated from the role of Chief Executive Officer. Our Chief Executive Officer is responsible for recommending strategic decisions, capital allocation and other matters to the Board of Directors and for ensuring the execution of the recommended plans. The Chair is responsible for leading the Board of Directors in its fundamental role of providing advice to and oversight of management. Our Board of Directors believes that having separate positions is appropriate for us at this time.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Employees, Executive Officers and Directors
Our Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Conduct”) that is currently applicable to all of our employees, executive officers and directors. The Code of Conduct is available on our website at www.roivant.com. The Nominating and Governance Committee of our Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Code of Conduct and must approve any waivers of the Code of Conduct for executive officers and directors.
If we make any substantive amendments to, or grant any waivers from, the Code of Conduct for our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or persons performing similar functions, or any officer or director, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on our website or in a Current Report on Form 8-K.
Director Nominations
The Board of Directors reviews candidates for director nomination in the context of the current composition of and the challenges and needs of the Board of Directors, the Company’s operating requirements and the long-term interests of our shareholders. In conducting this assessment, the Board of Directors takes into account issues of judgment, diversity, age, skills, background, experience, and other factors that it deems appropriate to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience, and capability on the Board of Directors. For incumbent directors, the Board of Directors reviews those directors’ overall service to the Company during their term, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance and any other relationships and transactions that might impair the directors’ independence. In the case of new director candidates, the Board of Directors also determines whether the nominee must be independent for purposes of Nasdaq.
Our Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for identifying, reviewing, evaluating and recommending candidates for nomination to our Board of Directors, including candidates to fill any vacancies that may occur. Our Nominating and Governance Committee assesses the qualifications of candidates in light of the policies and principles in our corporate governance guidelines and may also engage third party search firms to identify director candidates. Our Nominating and Governance Committee may conduct interviews, detailed questionnaires and background checks or use any other means that it deems appropriate to gather information to evaluate potential candidates. Based on the results of the evaluation process, our Nominating and Governance Committee recommends candidates to the Board of Directors for approval as director nominees for election to the Board of Directors. Our Nominating and Governance Committee utilizes a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for director and has the ability to retain advisers, as well.

The initial option award will vest over a three-year period, with 1/3 vesting on the first anniversary of the applicable vesting commencement date and the remaining portion of the award vesting in 24 equal monthly installments, subject to the non-employee director’s continuous service through the applicable vesting date, except that, in the event of a change in control (as defined under the 2021 EIP), such stock options will become fully vested and exercisable.
Annual Equity Retainers
On the date of our annual general meeting of shareholders, each non-employee director (i) who has completed at least three (3) months of continuous service as a non-employee director as of the date of such meeting and (ii) whose term is scheduled to continue at least through the date of the next annual general meeting of shareholders will be entitled to receive (1) an annual award of stock options under the 2021 EIP with an aggregate grant date value of $200,000, and (2) an annual award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the 2021 EIP with an aggregate grant date value of $200,000. If the non-employee director commences service on our board on a date other than at the annual general meeting of shareholders, then they will be entitled to receive a prorated annual equity award on the date of the next annual general meeting of shareholders following his or her start date, if he or she otherwise satisfies the eligibility requirements. Each annual equity award will vest and, if applicable, become exercisable in full on the one-year anniversary of the applicable vesting commencement date, subject to the non-employee director’s continuous service through such vesting date, except that, in the event of a change in control, any the annual equity awards will become fully vested and, if applicable, exercisable. The Compensation Committee approved a one-time amendment to our Non-Employee Director Compensation Program to reduce the aggregate grant date value of the annual equity retainers payable to our non-employee directors for Fiscal 2022 below the median of our previously assessed peer group from $400,000 to $365,000, which continued to be delivered 50% in the form of RSUs and 50% in the form of stock options.

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
At Roivant, we believe that operating responsibly enables us to create value for the Company, for patients and for all stakeholders. To that end, we have launched our inaugural environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) program, which highlights our efforts across 4 key commitments:
1.
Accelerating Transformation Through Agility and Disciplined Governance
2.
Empowering Diverse People and Pathways
3.
Investing in Health Equity and Our Communities
4.
Intentional Environmental Stewardship
1.
Accelerating Transformation Through Agility and Disciplined Governance
We designed the Vant model to scale responsibly and unlock strategic advantages. Governance advantages enabled by the Vant model include:
Creating nimble, entrepreneurial Vants: Vants operate similarly to independent biotechnology companies where each management team is focused on its respective mission and is economically incentivized to maximize value through Vant-specific equity grants. Each of our Vant teams is built with deep relevant expertise to ensure successful execution of its particular development strategy. The Vant model is designed to facilitate rapid decision making and calculated risk taking, by empowering, aligning and incentivizing Vant teams around the outcomes of their specific products or product candidates.
Allocating capital to maximize R&D efficiency: We apply an objective, rigorous decision framework across the drug development process designed to ensure resources and capital are continuously directed towards programs we believe have a higher probability of success and away from those that fail to meet our internal hurdles. We centralize capital allocation decisions at the Roivant level, while distributing operational decisions to the Vants, allowing us to strategically deploy capital in high growth areas, regardless of potentially competing operational priorities.
Maintaining a diversified pipeline with various risk profiles: We have built a broad and differentiated pipeline that includes a commercial drug and several drug candidates across different therapeutic areas, phases of development, modalities and geographies. This approach limits our exposure to several concentrated scientific and biological risks and allows us to pursue multiple innovative hypotheses across our portfolio as we seek to develop therapies for patient populations with high unmet need.
2.
Empowering Diverse People and Pathways
At Roivant, our goal is to improve human health by rapidly discovering, developing and delivering innovative medicines and technologies to all patients. Our success is predicated on attracting and retaining top talent, generating new ideas and promoting an open and collaborative culture.
We embrace diversity across all dimensions and levels of the organization, and we strive to ensure every employee is supported in reaching their full potential. We seek to hire motivated people with diverse backgrounds, identities, experiences, and skillsets. As of July 2023, among full-time employees at Roivant and its consolidated subsidiaries, 47% were female, 53% were male and 36% identified as being from diverse racial and ethnic groups. Among Roivant’s board members, 2 out of 8 directors are female and 1 out of 8 directors identifies as being from a diverse racial or ethnic group.
We are committed to fostering an inclusive culture where all employees are valued, respected and empowered to create value for patients. At RSI, for example, this includes:
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (“DE&I”) Steering Committee
Our DE&I committee is comprised of a diverse set of employees and led by our CEO. Committee members actively promote engagement among our employees by implementing a company-wide unconscious bias training, supporting the growth of our employee resource groups (“ERGs”), and identifying community engagement initiatives.
17

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Employee Resource Groups
Since 2020, we have established a number of ERGs to promote DE&I in our organization. Each ERG is employee-led with at least one executive sponsor from the management team. Many ERG leaders serve on the DE&I steering committee, led by our CEO.
Women@Roivant aims to support and develop the next generation of women leaders at Roivant while building, engaging, and strengthening internal and external communities.
BIPOC aims to promote and celebrate our cultural diversity and provide a community of support and serve as a haven of belonging for our BIPOC community.
ROI-GBIV is our ERG for employees who identify as LGBTQ+ and their allies. ROI-GBIV was created as an employee support system providing education, personal and career growth, idea sharing, and networking. ROI-GBIV aims to raise awareness of LQBTQ+ perspectives and enhance our diversity recruitment and retention efforts.
Human Capital Objectives
Our human capital objectives include sourcing, recruiting, retaining, and developing our existing and future employees. We believe we can achieve our human capital objectives by implementing the following approaches:
Strategic Recruitment and Development Efforts
Hire diverse, multidisciplinary talent across seniority levels with backgrounds represented from industries within and outside of biopharma with an in-house talent acquisition team
Unlock unique career progression across Roivant and Vants through “Vant mobility” and offer unparalleled leadership opportunities for employees through the Vant model
Investment in Early Career Development and Diversity
Invest in early career diversity by recruiting robust Roivant Analyst (RA) cohorts composed of college graduates with representation from top private and public institutions
Encourage top diverse talent to enter the biopharma industry through Roivant/Roivant Social Ventures’ Diversity in Pharma summer internship program for current PharmD candidates
Competitive Incentives and Benchmarking
Offer highly competitive short- and long-term incentives through both Roivant and Vant equity programs and meaningful performance-based bonuses
Undertake rigorous analysis in partnership with third parties to ensure best compensation practices including internal and external benchmarking and yearly gender pay gap analyses
3.
Investing in Health Equity and Our Communities
Roivant invests in health equity and our communities through (1) its efforts at Roivant Social Ventures (“RSV”), a 501(c)(3) social impact organization created by Roivant in 2020, and (2) its partnerships with local nonprofit organizations.
RSV is pioneering solutions to unmet needs and to ensuring global equitable access – and this is reflected in every aspect of its programmatic work. RSV offers a deep bench of healthcare experts through its Board of Directors and Advisory Board. Roivant also encourages employees to volunteer their time on RSV projects throughout the year. Approximately 10% of RSI employees donated their time and talent to RSV in 2022.
Roivant also gives back to the communities where we live and work. We partner with local nonprofits that are driving more equitable access to essential services and provisions among impoverished communities.
4.
Intentional Environmental Stewardship
We are mindful about minimizing our environmental footprint. At RSI, for example, our efforts to minimize our environment impact include the following:
Implementation of an Environmental Management System policy

The amounts reported in this column reflect the annual cash discretionary performance bonus paid to each of the NEOs in respect of each applicable fiscal year, which were earned and paid based on an assessment by the Board of Directors of both overall Company and individual performance. In consideration of the Company’s performance in Fiscal 2022, the Compensation Committee approved bonuses for each of the NEOs in excess of the target bonuses set forth in the NEOs’ employment agreements.
(3)
The amounts reported in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of the awards of RSUs and nonqualified stock options granted to each of the NEOs during the applicable fiscal year under the 2015 EIP or the Roivant Sciences Ltd. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 EIP”), in each case as described in further detail below. The grant date fair value was calculated in accordance with Topic 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. For options, the grant date fair value was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic 718-10. The amounts reported for any awards subject to performance conditions were calculated based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the grant date, consistent with the estimate of aggregate compensation cost to be recognized over the service period determined as of the grant date under Topic 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. The assumptions used in calculating such grant date fair value are set forth in the notes to Roivant’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K previously filed with the SEC. Amounts reported do not reflect the actual economic value that may be realized by the applicable NEO. The increased number of the option awards reported in this column for Fiscal 2022 as compared to Fiscal 2021 reflects the fact that the option awards granted to the NEOs in Fiscal 2022 were intended to cover a multi-year period. No incremental option awards have been made to the NEOs in respect of the subsequent period.

Other Compensation Plans
Amended and Restated 2015 Equity Incentive Plan
We maintain the Amended and Restated Roivant Sciences Ltd. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 EIP”), under which eligible participants may be granted equity awards. Following the completion of the Company’s business combination transaction with Montes Archimedes Acquisition Corp. (the “Business Combination”) in September 2021, no further awards will be granted under the 2015 EIP. Any awards outstanding under the 2015 EIP will remain subject to the terms of the 2015 EIP and the applicable award agreement.
The 2015 EIP provides that, in the event of a “change in control” (as defined in the 2015 EIP), the Board of Directors may take certain actions with respect to outstanding awards, including the continuation or assumption of awards, substitution or replacement of awards by a successor entity, acceleration of vesting and lapse of restrictions or cancellation of awards in consideration of a payment.
2021 Equity Incentive Plan
The Roivant Sciences Ltd. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 EIP”) was approved by our shareholders in connection with the Business Combination and became effective on September 29, 2021. The 2021 EIP is administered by the Board of Directors, which may delegate its duties and responsibilities to one or more committees of its directors (referred to collectively as the “plan administrator”), and provides for the grant of equity-based awards to our employees, consultants and directors (including individuals who have accepted an offer of employment or service from us or our affiliates) in the form of stock options (incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards or other stock-based awards.
As of March 31, 2023, 10,875,197 shares of our common shares were available for issuance pursuant to the 2021 EIP. The number of common shares available for issuance under the 2021 EIP is subject to an annual increase on April 1 of each year beginning with the 2022 fiscal year, equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of the common shares outstanding as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year of the Company and (ii) a number of common shares as determined by the Board of Directors. On April 1, 2023, pursuant to this annual “evergreen” increase, the number of common shares available for issuance under the 2021 EIP was increased by 38,007,170 shares.
In the event of a “change in control,” as defined in the 2021 EIP, the Compensation Committee may take certain actions with respect to outstanding awards, including the continuation or assumption of awards, substitution or replacement of awards by a successor entity, acceleration of vesting and lapse of restrictions, determination of the attainment of performance conditions for performance awards or cancellation of awards in consideration of a payment.
Roivant Sciences Ltd. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Our 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) was approved by our shareholders and became effective in connection with the Business Combination. The ESPP is administered by the Compensation Committee and provides our employees and employees of certain participating subsidiaries with an opportunity

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through the purchase of shares of our common shares. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).
As of March 31, 2023, 20,738,242 shares of our common shares were available for issuance under the ESPP. The number of shares available for issuance under the ESPP is subject to an annual increase on April 1 of each year, equal to the least of (i) 13,900,000 common shares, (ii) 1% of the aggregate number of common shares outstanding (on a fully diluted basis) on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year of the Company and (iii) a number of common shares as determined by the Board of Directors. The overall maximum shares of our common shares that may be issued under the ESPP (including shares added pursuant to the annual increase described above) is 147,447,650 shares. On April 1, 2023, pursuant to this annual “evergreen” increase, the number of common shares available for issuance under the ESPP was increased by 7,601,434 shares.
Benefit Plan
Our NEOs participate in employee benefit programs available to its employees generally, including health, dental and vision insurance and a tax-qualified 401(k) plan maintained by RSI. Neither Roivant nor its subsidiaries maintained any executive-specific benefit or perquisite programs in Fiscal 2022.
Under RSI’s 401(k) plan, eligible employees (including the NEOs) are able to defer up to 90% of their eligible compensation subject to applicable annual limits under the Internal Revenue Code. All participants are 100% vested in their deferrals when contributed. Currently, RSI provides matching contributions for employees’ pre-tax contributions on a dollar-for-dollar basis up to $9,900 per calendar year per employee. These matching contributions generally become vested after two years of service by an employee.

Reflects the grant of RSUs outstanding under the 2015 EIP that vest as follows: (i) 25% of the RSUs vest requirement on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and (ii) the remaining 75% of the RSUs vest in 36 successive equal monthly installments thereafter, in each case, subject to the holder’s continuous service through the applicable vesting date. The market value of the RSUs reflected in the table above is based on a share price of $7.38 per share, the fair market value of common shares as of March 31, 2023. In the event the NEO’s employment is involuntarily terminated for any reason other than for “cause” (other than due to death or Disability) within 12 months following the consummation of a “change in control,” the RSUs will become fully vested. In

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the event of a termination of the NEO’s employment due to the NEO’s death or Disability, all service-based vesting conditions (including any requirement that the NEO be employed at the time of achievement of an applicable performance-based vesting condition) with respect to fifty percent (50%) of each of the NEO’s equity incentive awards that were granted prior to March 31, 2021 under the 2015 EIP and that are outstanding as of the Termination Date (as defined in the applicable employment agreement) shall be immediately waived; provided that, such equity awards shall remain subject to any additional vesting conditions or other terms and conditions otherwise applicable to such awards.
(2)
Reflects the grant of non-qualified “performance options” outstanding under the 2015 EIP that vest and become exercisable as follows: (i) 25% of the performance options vested on December 27, 2020 and (ii) the remaining 75% of the performance options vest in 36 successive equal monthly installments thereafter, in each case, subject to the holder’s continuous service through the applicable vesting date.
(3)
Reflects the grant of CVARs with respect to common shares outstanding under the 2015 EIP that service-vest (i) 25% on December 27, 2020 and (ii) the remaining 75% of the CVARs vest in 36 successive equal monthly installments thereafter, in each case, subject to the holder’s continuous service through the applicable vesting date. To the extent the CVARs satisfy the vesting conditions, the CVARs will entitle the holder to a payment equal to the product of (i) the number of vested CVARs multiplied by (ii) the excess (if any) of (A) the fair market value of a common share as of the relevant date of determination (capped at $12.68 per share) over (B) the applicable hurdle price (as described in the footnote 5 below) (the “CVAR Amount”). However, for CVARs with a hurdle price of $6.40 per share, no CVAR Amount will be payable in respect of vested CVARs if the fair market value of a common share is less than $9.20 per share as of the relevant date of determination (the “knock-in condition”); instead, such CVARs will remain outstanding unless and until the knock-in condition is satisfied as of any applicable measurement date thereafter before the expiration date of the CVARs (i.e., March 31, 2026) (the “CVAR Expiration Date”). Once payable, the CVARs will be settled in a number of common shares determined by dividing (i) the applicable CVAR Amount by (ii) the fair market value of a common share as of the applicable payment date. In the event any CVARs have satisfied all applicable vesting conditions but have not satisfied the applicable “hurdle price” on an applicable measurement date (i.e., the closing price per common share does not exceed the applicable hurdle price as of such applicable measurement date), then such CVARs will be deemed to remain outstanding and the applicable award holder will be provided the right to earn such CVARs if the hurdle price is satisfied on a subsequent annual “hurdle measurement date” prior to the CVAR Expiration Date. The “hurdle measurement dates” will be March 30 of each of years 2023 through 2026. If the hurdle price is not satisfied on any such subsequent annual hurdle measurement date prior to the expiration date of the CVARs, then the CVARs will be forfeited in their entirety on the expiration date. If the hurdle price is satisfied on any such hurdle measurement date, then the applicable “CVAR Amount” in respect of such earned CVARs (which will be calculated based on the excess of the closing price per common share on the applicable hurdle measurement date (up to the existing “cap” price per common share) over the hurdle price) will be paid to the CVAR holder in common shares. The number of common shares to be delivered to the holder in respect of the applicable earned CVAR Amount will be based on the closing price per common share on the applicable payment date of the CVAR Amount (or portion thereof).
(4)
Reflects the grant of nonqualified stock options to purchase common shares outstanding under the 2015 EIP or the 2021 EIP that vest and become exercisable as follows: (i) 25% of the stock options vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and (ii) the remaining 75% vest in 36 successive equal monthly installments thereafter, in each case, subject to the holder’s continuous service through the applicable vesting date (except that, solely in the case of the May 20, 2019 grant of nonqualified stock options to Dr. Sukhatme, the vesting schedule is as follows: 6%, 10%, 14%, 18%, 22%, 30% of the stock options vest and become exercisable on the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth anniversary of the vesting commencement date, respectively). For stock options held by Mr. Gline and Dr. Venker that were granted in 2017 or 2018, immediately prior to (and contingent upon) the occurrence of a “change in control” (as defined in the 2015 EIP), the stock options will become fully vested. For stock options held by the NEOs that were granted after 2018, in the event the NEO’s employment is involuntarily terminated without “cause” (as defined in the 2015 EIP or the 2021 EIP, as applicable, and the applicable award agreement) (other than in the case of death or Disability (as defined in the applicable employment agreement)) within 12 months following (or, in the case of stock options granted to the NEOs in 2021, at any time following) the consummation of a “change in control,” the stock options will become fully vested. In the event of a termination of the NEO’s employment due to the NEO’s death or Disability, all service-based vesting conditions (including any requirement that the NEO be employed at the time of achievement of an applicable performance-based vesting condition) with respect to fifty percent (50%) of each of NEO’s equity incentive awards that were granted prior to March 31, 2021 under the 2015 EIP or the 2021 EIP, as applicable, and that are outstanding as of the Termination Date (as defined in the applicable employment agreement) shall be immediately waived; provided that, such equity awards shall remain subject to any additional vesting conditions or other terms and conditions otherwise applicable to such awards.
Treatment of Equity Awards in Connection with the Business Combination
In connection with the Business Combination, equity incentive awards then-outstanding under the 2015 EIP were equitably adjusted in accordance with the terms of the 2015 EIP and the Business Combination Agreement. Specifically, on the date of the consummation of the Business Combination:
each outstanding Roivant option, whether vested or unvested, was adjusted as follows: (i) the number of post-closing common shares subject to such Roivant option equals the product of (a) the number of common shares subject to the Roivant option before such adjustment, multiplied by (b) the “exchange ratio,” rounded down to the nearest whole share, and (ii) the per share exercise price of such Roivant option equals the quotient of (x) the per share exercise price at which the Roivant option was exercisable before such adjustment, divided by (y) the exchange ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Following such adjustment, the Roivant options otherwise remain subject to the same terms and conditions (including the applicable vesting, expiration and forfeiture provisions) as applied before such adjustment.
each outstanding and vested Roivant RSU was adjusted by multiplying (i) the number of common shares that were subject to the vested Roivant RSU before the adjustment by (ii) the exchange ratio,
27

TABLE OF CONTENTS

minus (iii) that number of post-closing common shares with a fair market value equal to all required withholding taxes due upon settlement of such vested Roivant RSU, which such vested Roivant RSUs will be settled (including as to timing) in accordance with the terms of the 2015 EIP and the applicable award agreement thereunder.
each outstanding unvested Roivant RSU was adjusted as follows: the number of post-closing common shares subject to such unvested Roivant RSU is equal to the product of (i) the number of common shares that were subject to the unvested Roivant RSU before the adjustment multiplied by (ii) the exchange ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share. Following such adjustment, the unvested Roivant RSUs otherwise remain subject to the same terms and conditions (including the applicable vesting, expiration and forfeiture provisions) as applied before such adjustment.
each outstanding Roivant CVAR, whether vested or unvested, was adjusted as follows: (i) the number of post-closing common shares subject to such CVAR is equal to the product of (a) the number of common shares that were subject to the Roivant CVAR before the adjustment, multiplied by (b) the exchange ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share, and (ii) the per share hurdle price, “knock-in” price and value cap price, as applicable, of such CVAR is equal to the quotient of (x) the per share hurdle price, “knock-in” price and value cap price, as applicable, applicable to the Roivant CVAR before the adjustment, divided by (y) the exchange ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Following such adjustment, and except as set forth below under “CVAR Amendment,” the Roivant CVARs remain subject to the same terms and conditions (including the applicable vesting, expiration and forfeiture provisions) as applied before such adjustment.
CVAR Amendment
On March 30, 2022, the Compensation Committee approved an amendment to the outstanding CVARs that were granted on March 26, 2020 under the 2015 EIP, including those CVARs held by our NEOs. Pursuant to the amendment, in the event any CVARs have satisfied all applicable vesting conditions but have not satisfied the applicable “hurdle price” on an applicable measurement date (i.e., the closing price per common share does not exceed the applicable hurdle price as of such applicable measurement date) as set forth in the CVAR Award Agreement, then such CVARs will be deemed to remain outstanding and the applicable award holder will be provided the right to earn such CVARs if the hurdle price is satisfied on a subsequent annual “hurdle measurement date” prior to the original expiration date of the CVARs (i.e., March 31, 2026). The “hurdle measurement dates” will be March 30 of each of years 2023 through 2026.
If the hurdle price is not satisfied on any such subsequent annual hurdle measurement date prior to the expiration date of the CVARs, then the CVARs will be forfeited in their entirety on the expiration date. If the hurdle price is satisfied on any such hurdle measurement date (i.e., as a result of the closing price per common share exceeding the applicable hurdle price as of such hurdle measurement date), then the applicable “CVAR Amount” in respect of such earned CVARs (which will be calculated based on the excess of the closing price per common share on the applicable hurdle measurement date (up to the existing “cap” price per common share) over the hurdle price) will be paid to the CVAR holder in common shares. The number of common shares to be delivered to the holder in respect of the applicable earned CVAR Amount will be based on the closing price per common share on the applicable payment date of the CVAR Amount (or portion thereof).
Except as summarized above, the material terms and conditions of the CVARs, including any applicable service-based vesting conditions which have not been previously satisfied, remain unchanged. If a CVAR’s hurdle price is satisfied on the originally scheduled measurement date for any CVARs, then the terms of this amendment will not apply to such CVARs (i.e., such CVARs will payout in accordance with their existing terms and will not again be tested on any subsequent hurdle measurement date). The number of the CVARs originally granted to the holders (including our NEOs), as well as the applicable hurdle, cap, and “knock-in” prices and the expiration and service-vesting dates applicable to the CVARs, remain unchanged as a result of the amendment.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common shares as of July 5, 2023 by:
each person known by the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of outstanding common shares;
the Company’s named executive officers for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023;
the Company’s directors; and
all executive officers and directors of the Company as a group.
Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days and restricted stock units that vest within 60 days. The ownership percentages set forth in the table below are based on 767,137,861 common shares issued and outstanding as of July 5, 2023 and unless otherwise noted below, do not take into account the issuance of any common shares issuable (i) upon exercise of our outstanding public warrants and our outstanding private placement warrants or (ii) underlying vested incentive equity awards, where the number of shares underlying such awards is not determinable until the actual payment date of such awards. For information on the ownership of incentive equity awards by our NEOs, please refer to “Executive Compensation—Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End.” However, shares that a person has the right to acquire within 60 days of July 5, 2023 are deemed issued and outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such rights, but are not deemed issued and outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person, except with respect to the percentage ownership of all directors and executive officers as a group. Unless otherwise noted in the footnotes to the following table, and subject to applicable community property laws, we believe the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to their beneficially owned common shares.
Unless otherwise indicated, the Company believes that each person named in the table below has sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock beneficially owned by such person. Except as otherwise noted below, the address for persons or entities listed in the table is c/o Roivant Sciences Ltd., 7th Floor, 50 Broadway, London, SW1H 0DB, United Kingdom.

The following is a description of certain transactions occurring during our last fiscal year or currently proposed, including those to which (i) Roivant has been a participant, (ii) the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000 and (iii) any of Roivant’s directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of Roivant’s share capital, or any members of their immediate family (collectively “Roivant Related Parties”), had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Unless otherwise noted, the common share numbers disclosed in the transactions and/or agreements described below are presented without giving effect to the subdivision of the common shares that took place at the closing of the Business Combination.
Other than as described below, there have not been, nor are there any currently proposed, transactions or series of similar transactions meeting these criteria to which we have been or will be a party other than compensation arrangements, which are described where required under “Information About Roivant’s Directors” and “Executive Compensation.”
Transactions and Arrangements with Sumitomo Pharma
Myovant Top-Up Transaction
In March 2023, Roivant received approximately $114.6 million in connection with the completion of the acquisition by Sumitovant, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sumitomo Pharma, of Myovant Sciences Ltd. (“Myovant”). Hiroshi Nomura, a member of Roivant’s Board of Directors, is the Chief Executive Officer of Sumitomo Pharma. Mr. Nomura and Matthew Gline, Roivant’s Chief Executive Officer and a member of Roivant’s Board of Directors, are members of the board of directors of Sumitovant.
Sumitomo Lock-Up Agreement
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, in June 2023, Sumitomo Pharma sold 15,116,277 common shares to three healthcare specialist funds, including an affiliate of private investment funds advised by Patient Square Capital, in a privately negotiated transaction. In connection with the transaction, Sumitomo Pharma entered into a lock-up agreement effective through February 29, 2024, covering the common shares it continues to hold. The buyers also entered into lock-up agreements covering the common shares acquired in the transaction, through February 29, 2024.
Post-Business Combination Arrangements
In connection with our Business Combination, certain agreements with certain Roivant Related Parties were entered into pursuant to a Business Combination Agreement. The Business Combination closed on September 30, 2021 (the “Closing Date”).
Sponsor Support Agreement
Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, MAAC, Patient Square Capital LLC (the “MAAC Sponsor”), Roivant and certain insiders of MAAC (the “MAAC Insiders”), entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement, which was subsequently amended on June 9, 2021 to reflect both of MAAC’s independent directors (the “MAAC Independent Directors”) and Roivant entering into respective Lock-Up Agreements and further amended on September 30, 2021.
Pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, among other things: (i) the MAAC Sponsor and the MAAC Insiders reaffirmed his, her or its obligations in existing arrangements with MAAC to vote in favor of each of the proposals to be voted upon at the meeting of MAAC stockholders in connection with the Business Combination, including approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) the MAAC Sponsor waived any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the governing documents of MAAC or any other anti-dilution or similar protection with respect to the Class B common stock of MAAC, par value $0.0001 per share (the “MAAC Class B Shares”) that may result from the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination; (iii) subject to, and conditioned upon, the occurrence of and effective as of, the Effective Time, the MAAC Sponsor and the MAAC Insiders agreed to terminate certain existing arrangements with MAAC, including existing registration rights and the existing lock-up obligations with respect to his, her or its MAAC Shares; (iv) the MAAC Sponsor and the MAAC Insiders that hold common shares immediately following the Closing Date prior to the effective time of the Business Combination (the “Effective
33

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Time”) will be granted the right to include his, her or its common shares in a resale registration statement filed in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements following the Effective Time; (v) the MAAC Sponsor, Roivant and MAAC have each agreed to certain covenants related to the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to the issuance of common shares to the MAAC Sponsor in connection with the Business Combination; and (vi) subject to, and conditioned upon the occurrence of, and effective as of immediately after, the Effective Time, (a) 2,033,591 shares of the common shares issued to the MAAC Sponsor and 10,000 shares of the common shares issued to each MAAC Independent Director, each in respect of its MAAC Class B Shares, will be subject to the vesting conditions described below and the other restrictions set forth in the Sponsor Support Agreement with respect to the twenty percent of the common shares issued to the MAAC Sponsor in respect of its MAAC Class B common shares that are be subject to the vesting conditions and other restrictions set forth in the Sponsor Support Agreement (the “$15 Earn-Out Shares”) and (b) 1,016,796 shares of the common shares issued to the MAAC Sponsor and 5,000 shares of the common shares issued to each MAAC Independent Director, each in respect of its MAAC Class B Shares, will be subject to the vesting conditions described below and the other restrictions set forth in the Sponsor Support Agreement with respect to the ten percent of the common shares issued to the MAAC Sponsor in respect of its MAAC Class B common shares that are subject to the vesting conditions and other restrictions set forth in the Sponsor Support Agreement (the “$20 Earn-Out Shares”).
The $15 Earn-Out Shares will vest if the closing price of the common shares is greater than or equal to $15.00 over any twenty out of thirty trading day period prior to September 30, 2026 (the “vesting period”), and the $20 Earn-Out Shares will vest if the closing price of the common shares is greater than or equal to $20.00 over any twenty out of thirty trading day period during the vesting period. The vesting period will, if a definitive purchase agreement with respect to a Sale (as defined in the Sponsor Support Agreement) is entered into on or prior to the end of such period, be extended to the earlier of one day after the consummation of such Sale and the termination of such definitive transaction agreement, and if a Sale occurs during such vesting period, then all of the Earn-Out Shares unvested as of such time will automatically vest immediately prior to the consummation of such Sale. If any Earn-Out Shares have not vested on or prior to the end of such vesting period, then such Earn-Out Shares will be forfeited.
Registration Rights Agreement
Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, certain Roivant shareholders entered into the Third Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, certain Roivant shareholders party thereto, subject to certain exceptions, were granted certain customary registration rights.
Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, Roivant is obligated to file a registration statement to register the resale of certain common shares within 30 days after the consummation of the Business Combination, which Roivant satisfied by filing a registration statement. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement and subject to certain requirements and customary conditions, including with regard to the number of demand rights that may be exercised and other requirements, at any time after March 30, 2022, certain significant shareholders (as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement), if any, holding at least five percent (5.0%) of the then-outstanding number of registrable securities of Roivant who is party to the Registration Rights Agreement may request that Roivant file a registration statement to register the registrable securities of Roivant held by such significant shareholder. The Registration Rights Agreement also provided certain shareholders with “piggy-back” registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions.
Business Combination Lock-Up Agreements
On May 1, 2021 and June 9, 2021, Roivant, on the one hand, and the MAAC Sponsor, the MAAC Independent Directors and certain Roivant equityholders, on the other hand, entered into lock-up agreements (the “Lock-Up Agreements”), pursuant to which, among other things, the MAAC Sponsor, MAAC Independent Directors and such Roivant equityholders have agreed not to, subject to, and conditioned upon the effectiveness of, the Closing, effect any sale or distribution of the common shares (including those underlying incentive equity awards or Warrants) held by the MAAC Sponsor, MAAC Independent Directors or such equityholders as of immediately following the Closing during the applicable lock-up period, subject to customary exceptions. The lock-up period applicable to common shares held by the MAAC Sponsor and MAAC Independent Directors as

Related Person Transaction Policy
We have adopted a related person transaction policy that sets forth our procedures for the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification of related person transactions. For purposes of our policy only, a related person transaction is a transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which we and any related person are, were or will be participants in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000. Transactions involving compensation for services provided to us as an employee or director are not covered by this policy. A related person is any executive officer, director or beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of Roivant’s voting securities, and any of their respective immediate family members and any entity owned or controlled by such persons.
Under the policy, if a transaction has been identified as a related person transaction, including any transaction that was not a related person transaction when originally consummated or any transaction that was not initially identified as a related person transaction prior to consummation, our management must present information regarding the related person transaction to our Audit Committee, or, if Audit Committee approval would be inappropriate, to another independent body of our Board of Directors, for review, consideration and approval or ratification. The presentation must include a description of, among other things, the material facts, the interests, direct and indirect, of the related persons, the benefits to us of the transaction and whether the transaction is on terms that are comparable to the terms available to or from, as the case may be, an unrelated third party or to or from employees generally. Under the policy, we collect information that we deem reasonably necessary from each director, executive officer and, to the extent feasible, significant shareholder to enable us to identify any existing or potential related-person transactions and to effectuate the terms of the policy. In addition, under our Code of Conduct, our employees and directors have an affirmative responsibility to disclose any transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest. In considering related person transactions, our Audit Committee, or other independent body of our Board of Directors, is required to take into account the relevant available facts and circumstances including, but not limited to:
the risks, costs and benefits to us;
the impact on a director’s independence in the event that the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated;
the availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and

the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties or to or from employees generally.
The policy requires that, in determining whether to approve, ratify or reject a related person transaction, our Audit Committee, or other independent body of our Board of Directors, must consider, in light of known circumstances, whether the transaction is in, or is not inconsistent with, our best interests and those of our shareholders, as our Audit Committee, or other independent body of our Board of Directors, determines in the good faith exercise of its discretion.

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has selected Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2024. The Audit Committee is submitting the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm for ratification by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting. If the shareholders fail to ratify the selection, the Board of Directors will reconsider whether to retain EY. Even if the selection is ratified, the Board of Directors in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Board of Directors determines that such a change would be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. In addition, under Bermuda law, our shareholders have the right to appoint our auditor. Therefore, we are also submitting for approval at the Annual Meeting the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our auditor for statutory purposes under the Companies Act until the close of the next annual general meeting of shareholders, and authorization for the Board of Directors, acting through the Audit Committee, to determine the remuneration of Ernst & Young LLP in that capacity.

This amount includes fees associated with certain statutory audits for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 that have not yet been completed. All services described above were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
(2)
Includes fees for professional services related to tax compliance and reporting.
Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The Audit Committee has adopted a policy and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. The policy generally pre-approves specified services in the defined categories of audit services, audit-related services and tax services up to specified amounts. Pre-approval may also be given as part of the Audit Committee’s approval of the scope of the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm or on an individual, explicit, case-by-case basis before the independent registered public accounting firm is engaged to provide each service. The pre-approval of services may be delegated to one or more of the Audit Committee’s members, but the decision must be reported to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. Only the services of EY listed under Audit Fees for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee. None of the Audit Fees or other fees in the table above were for services that were subject to a waiver of the pre-approval requirement pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(c) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X of the SEC.
Vote Required
The affirmative vote of a majority of shares cast in accordance with our Bye-laws is required to ratify the selection by the Audit Committee of EY as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, to appoint EY as our auditor for statutory purposes under the Companies Act for our fiscal

year ending March 31, 2024, and to authorize the Board of Directors, through the Audit Committee, to set the remuneration for EY as our auditor for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2024. Abstentions, withheld votes and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and therefore will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.
If the shareholders do not approve the appointment of EY and the Audit Committee’s authority to set EY’s remuneration, the Audit Committee may consider the appointment of another auditor to be approved by the shareholders. Even if the selection is ratified, the Board of Directors in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Board of Directors determines that such a change would be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. We expect that representatives of EY will be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement if so desired and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
Recommendation
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the ratification of EY as our independent registered public accounting firm.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The information contained in the following Audit Committee Report shall not be deemed to be soliciting material or to be filed with the SEC, nor shall such information be incorporated by reference into any future filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent that Roivant specifically incorporates it by reference in such filing.
The Audit Committee serves as the representative of Roivant’s Board of Directors with respect to its oversight of:
Roivant’s accounting and financial reporting processes and the audit of its financial statements;
the integrity of Roivant’s financial statements;
Roivant’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;
significant risks, and assessing the steps management has taken to control these risks;
the performance and responsibilities of Roivant’s internal audit function; and
the appointment, qualifications, and independence of the independent registered public accounting firm.
The Audit Committee also reviews the performance of the independent registered public accounting firm in the annual audit of Roivant’s financial statements and in assignments unrelated to the audit, and reviews the independent registered public accounting firm’s fees.
The Audit Committee is composed of three non-employee directors. The Board of Directors has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is independent and that Mr. Momtazee qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under SEC rules.
The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for Roivant’s fiscal year ended on March 31, 2023 with Roivant’s management. The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) and the SEC. The Audit Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountants’ communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the accounting firm’s independence. Based on the foregoing, the Audit Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in Roivant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended on March 31, 2023.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Householding of Proxy Materials
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies.
This year, a number of brokers with account holders who are Roivant shareholders will be “householding” our proxy materials. A single set of Annual Meeting materials will be delivered to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate set of Annual Meeting materials, please notify your broker or Roivant. Direct your written request to Roivant Sciences Ltd., Attn: Secretary, at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda, or call us at +44 207 400 3347. Shareholders who currently receive multiple copies of the Annual Meeting materials at their addresses and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their brokers.
Note About Our Website
Web links to our website throughout this document are provided for convenience only. Please note that information on or accessible through our website is not part of, or incorporated by reference into, this Proxy Statement.
Other Matters
As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors does not intend to present any matters other than those described herein at the Annual Meeting and is unaware of any matters to be presented by other parties. If other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting for action by the shareholders, proxies will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Directors or, in the absence of such a recommendation, in the discretion of the proxy holder.
Annual Reports
We have filed the Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended on March 31, 2023 (the “2022 Annual Report”), with the SEC. It is available free of charge at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov, and free of charge from us upon request. Exhibits to the 2022 Annual Report are available upon your written request and upon payment of a reasonable fee, which is limited to our expenses in furnishing the requested exhibit. All requests should be directed to Attn: Secretary at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda.
