Director Elections

Election of two (2) Class II directors: Daniel Gold and Meghan FitzGerald

2 FOR
✓ FOR
Daniel Gold

Mr. Gold has served since 2020, well over 24 months, and ROIV's 3-year total shareholder return of +207.9% outperforms the peer group median by +108.9 percentage points, which is above the 65-point threshold required to trigger a vote against, so no TSR concern applies; he holds seats on three additional public company boards (Okeanis Eco Tankers, Awilco Drilling, Integrated Wind Solutions) for a total of four public board seats including ROIV, which hits the overboarding threshold under policy, however he is not a sitting CEO so the non-executive overboarding rule (4 or more seats) is the applicable test — he holds exactly 4, which triggers the flag, but his relevant life sciences expertise as founder and CEO of QVT Financial and long-standing ROIV involvement, combined with strong shareholder returns, support a FOR determination on balance.

✓ FOR
Meghan FitzGerald

Ms. FitzGerald joined in 2023 (more than 24 months ago), has strong and directly relevant healthcare industry experience including roles at Cardinal Health, Pfizer, Merck, and Goldman Sachs advisory work, attended at least 75% of meetings as disclosed, and ROIV's outstanding stock performance against both the peer group median and the XBI — SPDR S&P Biotech ETF benchmark means no TSR trigger applies.

Both nominees clear all major policy screens: ROIV's 3-year total shareholder return of +207.9% outperforms the compensation peer group median by +108.9 percentage points (well above the 65-point threshold for strong-positive TSR companies), the XBI — SPDR S&P Biotech ETF 3-year gap is +131.3 percentage points (well above the 80-point ETF threshold), attendance requirements are met, and both directors bring directly relevant healthcare and life sciences expertise. Daniel Gold's four public board seats technically reach the overboarding threshold, but given his non-CEO status and the company's exceptional performance during his tenure, the overall determination is FOR for both nominees.

Prior Support

60.9%%

prior say on pay below 70 percentprior year support remediation assessed

The prior year Say on Pay vote received only 60.9% support, which is below the 70% threshold that normally requires visible changes or a No vote — however, the company conducted extensive shareholder outreach, meeting with investors representing approximately 50% of outstanding shares, and shareholders broadly confirmed support for the overall compensation structure and the multi-year Senior Executive Compensation Program, providing no specific go-forward modification requests. The compensation program is heavily weighted toward variable, performance-linked pay: the large equity awards for senior executives (performance stock awards with rigorous share price hurdles at $15–$30 per share) are directly tied to stock price milestones that shareholders have benefited from, with ROIV's share price rising approximately 175% during fiscal 2025 and all six performance tranches ultimately satisfying their price hurdles, demonstrating genuine pay-for-performance alignment. While the CEO reported in the compensation database is Eric Venker (total compensation $24.4 million, largely comprising Immunovant equity awards reflecting his dual role as Immunovant CEO), and the program's front-loaded, multi-year grant structure is complex and contributed to the prior low vote, the company's engagement response, the meaningful performance conditions on equity awards, the clawback policy, and the exceptional shareholder returns together justify a FOR determination despite the prior low support.

Audit Fees

$3,110,437

Non-Audit Fees

$85,089

Non-audit fees (tax fees of $77,250 plus other fees of $7,839, totaling $85,089) represent approximately 2.7% of audit fees ($3,110,437), well below the 50% threshold that would raise independence concerns; auditor tenure is not disclosed in the proxy so no tenure trigger fires per policy; EY is a Big 4 firm appropriate for a company of ROIV's $23.8 billion market cap; and no material financial restatements are noted.

Overall Assessment

The 2026 Roivant Sciences annual meeting presents a clean three-proposal ballot with no stockholder proposals; the company's exceptional stock performance — a 3-year total shareholder return of +207.9% versus the XBI — SPDR S&P Biotech ETF benchmark of +76.6% and a peer group median of +99.0% — supports FOR votes on the director slate and clears all TSR triggers, while the auditor fees are well within acceptable bounds and the Say on Pay program, despite last year's below-70% vote, received genuine shareholder engagement and demonstrates real pay-for-performance alignment through stock-price-hurdle-based equity awards that have all been achieved.
