- 1 -

No. The Notice identifies the items to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, but you cannot vote by marking the Notice and returning it. The Notice provides instructions on how to vote over the Internet or by telephone, by requesting and returning a printed proxy card, or by submitting a ballot in person at the Annual Meeting.

How do I attend the Annual Meeting?

The meeting will be held on Thursday, June 6, 2019 at 8:30 a.m. Mountain Time at the St. Julien Hotel, 900 Walnut Street, Boulder, Colorado 80302.

What am I voting on?

There are four matters scheduled for a vote:

• Proposal 1: Election of Directors.The election of Brian G. Atwood, James C. Blair, Ph.D., Richard A. Fair, and Paul H. Klingenstein as Class II directors to hold office until the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders;

• Proposal 2: Amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.The approval of an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase our authorized number of shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to200,000,000.

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If on April 8, 2019 your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, then you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge

- 2 -

you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the 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 the printed proxy card that may be delivered to you, simply complete, sign and date the proxy card that may be delivered and return it promptly in the envelope provided. If you return your signed proxy card to us before the Annual Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct.

• To vote by Internet or telephone, follow the instructions on the website referred to in the Notice previously sent to you. Your vote must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 5, 2019 to be counted.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank

If on April 8, 2019 your shares were registered, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and you should have received a Notice from that organization. Simply follow the voting instructions in the Notice to ensure that your vote is counted. Alternatively, you may vote by telephone or over the Internet as instructed by your broker or bank. 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 or bank included with the proxy materials, or contact your broker or bank to request a proxy form.

What if I return a proxy card or otherwise vote but do not make specific choices?

If you return a signed and dated proxy card or otherwise vote without marking voting selections, your shares will be voted, as applicable, “For” the election of all four nominees for director, “For” the amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, “For” the vote on the compensation of our named executive officers, and “For” the ratification of selection of the independent registered public accounting firm. 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.

What does it mean if I receive more than one Notice?

If you receive more than one Notice, your shares may be registered in more than one name or in different accounts. Please follow the voting instructions on the Notices to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?

Yes. You can revoke your proxy 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 in any one of the following ways:

• You may submit another properly completed proxy card with a later date.

• You may grant a subsequent proxy by telephone or over the Internet.

• You may send a timely written notice that you are revoking your proxy to our Secretary at 5500 Flatiron Parkway, Suite 100, Boulder, Colorado 80301.

• You may attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. Simply attending the meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

Your most current proxy card or telephone or Internet proxy is the one that is counted.

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.

- 3 -

What is the quorum requirement?

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if stockholders holding at least a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote are present at the meeting in person or represented by proxy. On the record date, there were 53,000,000 shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Thus, the holders of 26,500,001 shares must be present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting to have a quorum.

What vote is required to approve each proposal?

• Proposal 1: Election of Directors. The four nominees who receive the most “For” votes (among votes properly cast in person or by proxy) will be elected. Only votes “For” will affect the outcome.

• Proposal 2: Amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.The proposal to approve an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of our common stock requires the affirmative (“For”) votes from the holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock outstanding.

• Proposal 3:Vote on the Compensation of our Named Executive Officers.The proposal to approve an advisory resolution regarding the compensation of our named executive officers requires the affirmative (“For”) votes from the holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

• Proposal 4: Ratification of Selection of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The proposal to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, requires the affirmative (“For”) votes from the holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

What is the effect of abstentions and brokernon-votes?

Shares of common stock held by persons attending the Annual Meeting, but not voting, and shares represented by proxies that reflect abstentions as to a particular proposal will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. Abstentions are treated as shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote, so abstaining has the same effect as a negative vote for purposes of the vote on the increase in the authorized number of shares of common stock for general corporate purposes, the advisory vote on the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers, and the vote on the ratification of selection of independent registered public accounting firm. However, because the election of directors is determined by a plurality of votes cast, abstentions will not be counted in determining the outcome of such proposals.

Shares represented by proxies that reflect a “brokernon-vote” will be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. A “brokernon-vote” occurs when a nominee (such as a brokerage firm) holding shares for a beneficial owner has not received instructions from the beneficial owner and does not have discretionary authority to vote the shares for a particular matter. The election of directors (Proposal 1) and the advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers (Proposal 3) are proposals for which brokers do not have discretionary voting authority. If you do not instruct your broker or other nominee how to vote with respect to these proposals, those “brokernon-votes” will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote. However, the increase in the authorized number of shares of common stock for general corporate purposes (Proposal 2) and the ratification of the selection of independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 4) are considered routine matters on which a broker or other nominee has discretionary authority to vote even if no instructions are received from you. Accordingly, no brokernon-votes will likely result from these proposals.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies, including the preparation, assembly, printing and mailing of the Notice, this proxy statement, the proxy card and any other additional solicitation materials that we may

- 4 -

provide to our stockholders. In addition to these proxy materials, Innisfree M&A Incorporated (“Innisfree”) and our directors, officers and employees may also contact you by telephone, via the Internet, in person or by other means of communications to obtain your proxy. We have retained Innisfree as a proxy solicitor in connection with the Annual Meeting. We have agreed to pay to Innisfree a fee of $25,000 plus reimbursement of customaryout-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the services, and we have agreed to indemnify Innisfree and certain related persons against certain liabilities relating to or arising out of Innisfree’s engagement. Our directors, officers and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. In addition, final voting results will be disclosed in a Current Report on Form8-K, or Form8-K, that we expect to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file with the SEC a Form8-K within four business days after the meeting, we intend to file with the SEC a Form8-K to disclose preliminary results and, within four business days after the final results are known to us, file with the SEC an additional Form8-K to disclose the final results.

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our board of directors is divided into three staggered classes of directors of the same or nearly the same number, designated Class I, Class II and Class III, with each class having a three year term. Vacancies on the board of directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors. A director elected by the board of directors to fill a vacancy in a class, including vacancies created by an increase in the number of directors, shall serve for the remainder of the full term of that class and until the director’s successor is duly elected and qualified.

There are four directors in Class II whose term of office expires in 2019. Each of the nominees for election to Class II, Brian G. Atwood, James C. Blair, Ph.D., Richard A. Fair, and Paul H. Klingenstein, has been recommended by the nominating and corporate governance committee of the board of directors for election and nominated by the board of directors for election at the Annual Meeting and is currently a member of our board of directors. Ifre-elected at the Annual Meeting, each of these nominees would serve until our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or, if sooner, until the director’s death, resignation or removal. If any nominee becomes unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, shares that would have been voted for that nominee will instead be voted for the election of a substitute nominee proposed by us. Each person nominated for election has agreed to serve if elected. Our management has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve.

The following table sets forth the name, age and position of each of our nominees as of March 31, 2019:

PROPOSAL 2

APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO OUR AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

Our board of directors has adopted, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of our common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares. The additional common stock that would be authorized by adoption of the amendment would have rights identical to our currently outstanding shares of common stock. Adoption of the proposed amendment and any future issuance of the common stock would not affect the rights of the holders of our currently outstanding common stock, except for effects incidental to the increase in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding, such as dilution of the per share operating results and the voting rights of current holders of our common stock. The proposed amendment will not affect the number of authorized shares of preferred stock of the company, par value $0.001, which is 10,000,000 shares. Currently there are no shares of the preferred stock outstanding.

On April 2, 2019, we had 52,994,050 shares of common stock outstanding. In addition, 9,212,213 shares are reserved for issuance upon exercise of stock options and other equity awards that were outstanding on April 2, 2019, 1,823,746 shares are reserved for future issuances and grants made under our equity incentive and employee stock purchase plans, and 11,902,553 shares are reserved for the conversion of our convertible senior notes. In addition, our board of directors has approved an increase to the shares of common stock issuable under the Clovis Oncology, Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan in the amount of 4% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding on the date of our Annual Meeting, which we currently estimate will be approximately 2,120,000 shares. As a result, without this proposed increase there would be only approximately 21,947,439 shares of common stock available for issuance for other purposes following our Annual Meeting.

We believe these approximately 22 million authorized shares currently available for issuance are sufficient for our currently anticipated corporate purposes, and our board of directors has the flexibility to issue such shares in their discretion at any time; however, even though there are no current plans or proposals to issue any of the additional authorized shares of common stock that we are asking our stockholders to approve by this Proposal 2, our board of directors believes it would be prudent and advisable to have the additional shares available to provide additional flexibility regarding the potential use of shares of common stock for business and financial purposes in the future. Having an increased number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock would allow us to take prompt action with respect to corporate opportunities that develop, without the delay and expense of convening a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of approving an increase in our capitalization. The additional shares could be used for various purposes without further stockholder approval. These purposes may include: (i) raising capital, if we have an appropriate opportunity, through offerings of common stock or securities that are convertible into common stock; (ii) exchanges of common stock or securities that are convertible into common stock for other outstanding securities; (iii) providing equity incentives to employees, officers or directors; (iv) establishing strategic relationships with other companies; (v) expanding our business or product lines through the acquisition of other businesses or products; and (vi) other purposes.

Our board of directors has not proposed the increase in authorized shares of common stock with the intention of discouraging tender offers or takeover attempts of the company. However, the availability of additional authorized shares for issuance could, under certain circumstances, discourage or make more difficult efforts to obtain control of our company. This proposal is not being presented with the intent that it be used to prevent or discourage any acquisition attempt, but nothing would prevent our board of directors from taking any appropriate actions not inconsistent with its fiduciary duties.

If this proposal is approved, we expect to file a Certificate of Amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock as soon as practicable following stockholder approval. Upon filing of the Certificate of

- 11 -

Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State, the first sentence of Article IV of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will be amended and restated to read as follows:

“The total number of shares of stock that the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 210,000,000 shares, consisting of 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”).”

Stockholder approval of this Proposal 2 will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Abstentions will be counted toward the tabulation of votes on this proposal and will have the same effect as negative votes. Proposal 2 is a routine matter on which a broker or other nominee has discretionary authority to vote. Accordingly, no brokernon-votes will likely result from this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS

PROPOSAL 3

ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, or the Dodd-Frank Act, and Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, at the Annual Meeting, our stockholders are entitled to vote, on an advisory (nonbinding) basis, on the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement. This proposal, commonly known as a“say-on-pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our named executive officers’ compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement.

A majority of the votes cast at the 2018 annual meeting were voted in favor of holding the advisory vote on executive compensation every year. The advisory vote on executive compensation was last held at the 2018 annual meeting.

Although the vote is advisory and, accordingly, the results are not binding on us, our compensation committee and board of directors value the input of our stockholders and will consider the results of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.

As described more fully under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” in this proxy statement, our executive compensation program is designed to attract, retain and motivate individuals with superior ability, experience and leadership capability to deliver on our annual and long-term business objectives necessary to create stockholder value. We urge stockholders to read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement, which describes in detail how our executive compensation policies and procedures operate and are intended to operate in the future. The compensation committee and the board of directors believe that our executive compensation program fulfills these goals and is reasonable, competitive and aligned with our performance and the performance of our executives.

We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for the compensation of our named executive officers as described in this proxy statement. Accordingly, we ask that our stockholders vote “FOR” the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of Clovis Oncology, Inc. approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in the Clovis Oncology, Inc. Proxy Statement for the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, pursuant to Item 402 of RegulationS-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and narrative disclosure.”

Stockholder approval of this Proposal 3 will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will be counted toward the tabulation of votes on this proposal presented to the stockholders and will have the same effect as negative votes. Brokernon-votes will have no effect on this proposal as brokers or other nominees are not entitled to vote on such proposals in the absence of voting instructions from the beneficial owner.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS

PROPOSAL 4

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The audit committee of our board of directors has selected Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2019 and has further directed that management submit the selection of independent registered public accounting firm for ratification by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. Ernst & Young LLP has audited our financial statements since 2009. Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Neither our amended and restated bylaws nor our other governing documents or law require stockholder ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. However, the audit committee is submitting the selection of Ernst & Young LLP to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the audit committee will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the audit committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of different independent auditors at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in our best interests or those of our stockholders.

Principal Accountant Fees and Services

The following table represents aggregate fees billed to us for the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, by Ernst & Young LLP, our principal accountant.

	Year Ended December 31,
	2018		2017
Audit Fees(1)	$	1,155,337	$	1,039,883
Tax Fees(2)		252,252		230,788

(2) Tax fees include fees associated with tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.

All fees described above for the year ended December 31, 2018 were approved by our audit committee.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The audit committee has adopted a policy and procedures for thepre-approval of audit andnon-audit services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP.Pre-approval may also be given as part of the audit committee’s approval of the scope of the engagement of the independent auditor or on an individual, explicit,case-by-case basis before the independent auditor is engaged to provide each service. Thepre-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.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be required to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP. Abstentions will be counted toward the tabulation of votes on this proposal presented to the stockholders and will have the same effect as negative votes. The approval of Proposal 4 is a routine proposal on which a broker or other

nominee has discretionary authority to vote. Accordingly, no brokernon-votes will likely result from this proposal.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board Independence

Rule 5605 of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules requires a majority of a listed company’s board of directors to be comprised of independent directors within one year of listing. In addition, the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and governance committees be independent and that audit committee members also satisfy independence criteria set forth in Rule10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Under Rule 5605(a)(2), a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of our board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule10A-3, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors, or any other board committee: (1) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries; or (2) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

Our board of directors has undertaken a review of the composition of our board of directors and its committees and the independence of each director. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our board of directors has determined that none of Drs. Barrett, Blair, Flaherty, and Spickschen, Ms. Graham, or Messrs. Atwood, Azelby, Fair, Klingenstein and McKinley, representing ten of our eleven directors, has a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is “independent” as that term is defined under Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules.

Our board of directors also determined that Messrs. Atwood, Klingenstein, and McKinley, who comprise our audit committee, Drs. Barrett, Blair, Spickschen, Ms. Graham and Mr. Fair, who comprise our compensation committee, and Drs. Barrett, Blair, Flaherty, and Messrs. Atwood and Azelby, who comprise our nominating and corporate governance committee, satisfy the independence standards for such committees established by the SEC and the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, as applicable. In making such determination, our board of directors considered the relationships that each suchnon-employee director has with our company and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by eachnon-employee director.

Board Leadership Structure

Our board of directors has an independent Chairman, M. James Barrett. Our board of directors recognizes that it is important to determine an optimal board leadership structure to ensure the independent oversight of management as we continue to grow. We separate the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the board of directors in recognition of the differences between the two roles. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for setting our strategic direction,day-to-day leadership and performance, while the Chairman of the board of directors provides guidance to the Chief Executive Officer and presides over meetings of the full board of directors. We believe that this separation of responsibilities provides a balanced approach to management of our board of directors and oversight of us. However, no single leadership model is right for all companies and at all times. The board of directors recognizes that depending on the circumstances, other leadership models, such as combining the role of Chairman with the role of Chief Executive Officer, might be appropriate. Accordingly, the board of directors may periodically review its leadership structure.

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Our audit committee is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes on behalf of the full board of directors. The audit committee receives reports from management at least quarterly regarding our

- 16 -

assessment of risks. In addition, the audit committee reports regularly to the full board of directors, which also considers our risk profile. The audit committee and the full board of directors focus on the most significant risks we face and our general risk management strategies. While our board of directors oversees our risk management, company management is responsible forday-to-day risk management processes. Our board of directors expects company management to consider risk and risk management in each business decision, to proactively develop and monitor risk management strategies and processes forday-to-day activities and to effectively implement risk management strategies adopted by the audit committee and the board of directors. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks we face and that our board leadership structure, which also emphasizes the independence of the board of directors in its oversight of our business and affairs, supports this approach.

Board Meetings

During the fiscal year 2018, our board of directors met seven times, including telephonic meetings. In that year, each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the meetings held by the board of directors, and each director who is a member of a committee attended at least 75% of the meetings the committees of our board of directors held on which the director served, except for M. James Barrett, who was able to attend only 67% of the meetings held by the compensation committee due to unresolvable scheduling conflicts. All of our directors then serving attended our annual meeting of stockholders in 2018. Although we do not have a formal policy regarding attendance by members of the board of directors at our annual meetings of stockholders, directors are encouraged to attend.

Information Regarding Board Committees

Our board of directors has established three standing committees: an audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating and corporate governance committee. The following table provides membership and meeting information for 2018 for each of the board of directors committees:

Audit Committee

The members of the audit committee are Messrs. Atwood, Klingenstein, and McKinley, each of whom qualifies as an independent director under the corporate governance standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market and the independence requirements of Rule10A-3 of the Exchange Act.

Mr. McKinley serves as chairman of this committee. During the fiscal year 2018, our audit committee met five times, including telephonic meetings.

Our audit committee oversees a broad range of issues surrounding our accounting and financial reporting processes and audits of our financial statements, and assists our board of directors by: (1) overseeing and monitoring the quality and integrity of our financial statements, our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and our internal accounting procedures and systems of internal controls (2) assuming direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of work of any independent registered public accounting firm engaged for the purpose of performing any audit, review or attestation services, for overseeing and monitoring our independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence, and for dealing directly with any such accounting firm, including resolving disagreements between management and our independent auditor; (3) providing a medium for consideration of matters relating to any audit issues; and (4) preparing the audit committee report required to be included in our filings under the rules and regulations of the SEC.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

Our audit committee has reviewed our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and discussed them with our management and our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst &Young LLP.

Our audit committee has also received from, and discussed with, Ernst &Young LLP various communications that Ernst &Young LLP is required to provide to our audit committee, including the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications with Audit Committees, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

In addition, our audit committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from Ernst & Young LLP required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding Ernst & Young LLP’s communications with our audit committee concerning independence, and has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP their independence.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, our audit committee has recommended to the board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed by us with the SEC.

Respectfully submitted,

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

Compensation Committee

The members of the compensation committee are Drs. Barrett, Blair, and Spickschen, Ms. Graham and Mr. Fair, each of whom qualifies as an independent director under the corporate governance standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No member of our compensation committee has ever been an executive officer or employee of ours. For a description of certain transactions between us and certain members of our compensation committee and their affiliated entities, see “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” below. None of our officers currently serves, or has served during the last completed fiscal year, on the compensation committee or board of directors of any other entity that has one or more officers serving as a member of our board of directors or compensation committee.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The members of the nominating and corporate governance committee are Drs. Barrett, Blair, and Flaherty and Messrs. Atwood and Azelby, each of whom qualifies as an independent director under the corporate governance standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market. Dr. Barrett serves as chairman of this committee. During fiscal year 2018, our nominating and corporate governance committee met four times, including telephonic meetings.

The nominating and corporate governance committee assists our board of directors in discharging its responsibilities relating to (1) developing and recommending criteria for selecting new directors, and identifying, screening and recommending nominees for election as directors; (2) screening and recommending to the board of directors individuals qualified to become executive officers; (3) evaluating our board of directors and its dealings with management; (4) developing, reviewing and recommending corporate governance guidelines and a code of business ethics; (5) generally advising our board of directors on other corporate governance and related matters; and (6) overseeingnon-financial compliance. The written charter for the nominating and corporate governance committee is available on our website athttp://ir.clovisoncology.com under “Corporate Governance.”

Director Nomination Process

Our nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for identifying, considering and recommending director candidates to fill new positions or vacancies on our board of directors, including candidates proposed by our stockholders, except where the right to nominate a director legally belongs to a third party. Our board of directors is responsible for recommending a slate of directors for election by our stockholders.

In identifying individual candidates, our nominating and corporate governance committee considers current members of our board of directors, as well as candidates referred or recommended to it by directors, members of management, stockholders and others. We may also engage, and have in the past used, professional search firms to identify director candidates for consideration. In evaluating the suitability of individual candidates (both new candidates and current directors), our nominating and corporate governance committee, in recommending candidates for election, and our board of directors, in approving (and, in the case of vacancies, appointing) such candidates, takes into account many factors, including personal and professional integrity, ethics and values; experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly held company; commercialization experience in pharmaceutical companies; strong finance experience; experience relevant to us; experience as a board member of another publicly held company; diversity of expertise and experience in substantive matters pertaining to our business relative to other board members; diversity of background and perspective, including with respect to age, gender, race, place of residence and specialized experience; and practical and mature business judgment, including the ability to make independent analytical inquiries. The board of directors evaluates each individual in the context of the board of directors as a whole, with the objective of assembling a group that can best perpetuate the success of the business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience in these various areas. In determining whether to recommend a director forre-election, the nominating and corporate governance committee may also consider the director’s past attendance at meetings and participation in and contributions to the activities of the board of directors. The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for reviewing with the board of directors, on an annual basis, the appropriate characteristics, skills and experience required for the board of directors as a whole and its individual members.

- 20 -

In 2018, we determined that we could benefit from directors with more specific commercial experience in the oncology field, and we initiated a search to identify qualified candidates. We engaged a professional search firm to assist in identifying qualified candidates. In addition to the factors above that our nominating and corporate governance committee takes into account in recommending candidates, we directed the search firm to emphasize recent commercial oncology experience and diversity, while ensuring that a candidate was not currently in a position that would create the appearance of, or an actual conflict of interest. Our search firm identified multiple candidates, and our nominating and corporate governance committee ultimately selected Robert Azelby and Richard Fair for recommendation to the board of directors. In October 2018, the board of directors increased its size from nine members to eleven members and appointed both Robert Azelby and Richard Fair to the board of directors to fill the newly created vacancies. It is a priority of our board of directors to increase the diversity, including ethnic, gender, age and experience, among the members of our board.

We have not received director candidate recommendations from our stockholders. We do not have a formal policy regarding consideration of such recommendations because any recommendations received from stockholders will be evaluated in the same manner that potential nominees suggested by board members, management or other parties are evaluated. We do not intend to treat stockholder recommendations in any manner different from other recommendations.

Stockholders wishing to make director candidate recommendations should address such recommendations to our corporate secretary, Paul E. Gross, at Clovis Oncology, Inc., 5500 Flatiron Parkway, Suite 100, Boulder, Colorado 80301, in accordance with the procedures detailed under the heading “Stockholder Proposals to be Presented at Next Annual Meeting” below.

Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors

Stockholders seeking to communicate with our board of directors should submit their written comments to our corporate secretary, Paul E. Gross, at Clovis Oncology, Inc., 5500 Flatiron Parkway, Suite 100, Boulder, Colorado 80301. The corporate secretary will forward such communications to each member of our board of directors; provided that, if in the opinion of our corporate secretary it would be inappropriate to send a particular stockholder communication to a specific director, such communication will only be sent to the remaining directors (subject to the remaining directors concurring with such opinion).

Corporate Governance Guidelines

As a part of the board of directors’ commitment to building long-term stockholder value with an emphasis on corporate governance, the board of directors has adopted a set of Corporate Governance Guidelines, which guides the operation of the board of directors and its committees. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines cover, among other topics, board composition, structure and functioning, board membership criteria, director independence, board self-evaluations, committees of the board of directors, board access to management and independent advisers, stock ownership guidelines for members of the board of directors and our executive officers, and succession and leadership development. A copy of the Corporate Governance Guidelines can be viewed on our website athttp://ir.clovisoncology.com under “Corporate Governance.”

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on acquiring, developing and commercializing innovative anti-cancer agents in the United States, the EU and additional international markets. We target our development programs for the treatment of specific subsets of cancer populations, and simultaneously develop, with partners, for those indications that require them, diagnostic tools intended to direct a compound in development to the population that is most likely to benefit from its use. To support this business strategy, we believe in rewarding our employees for helping us achieve our goals and delivering exceptional performance. Consistent with this general philosophy, we have designed our executive compensation program to tie a significant portion of an executive’s overall compensation to the achievement of our corporate goals and increases in stockholder value.

To help ensure our executives’ pay is aligned with our overall business strategy, our executive compensation program is driven by a core set of objectives which are supported by our overall compensation philosophy:

Objectives

2018 Performance

In 2018, Clovis achieved the following corporate goals:

• Received supplemental new drug application (sNDA) approval in April 2018 for Rubraca to include maintenance treatment indication;

- 23 -

• Successfully launched Rubraca for maintenance treatment in the United States;

• Achieved commercial launch readiness for Rubraca in Germany and the United Kingdom ahead of the EU maintenance treatment approval;

• Completed financing raising approximately $386 million in net proceeds to us in April 2018;

• Released initial results from TRITON2 at European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2018 Congress, which supported the receipt of Breakthrough Therapy designation in October 2018;

• Met patient enrollment goals for the ARIEL 4, ATHENA, TRITON2, andRUCA-J studies;

• Opened a new facility in partnership with Lonza in October 2018, for the production of Rubraca’s active pharmaceutical ingredient (API);

• Received the return to Clovis of certain development and commercialization rights to lucitanib; and

• Achieved a 90% employee retention rate.

In 2018, our focus remained on acquiring, developing and commercializing anti-cancer agents in 2018. In April 2018, Rubraca^® (rucaparib) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are in a complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy. Diagnostic testing is not required for patients to be prescribed Rubraca in this maintenance treatment indication. This is the second approved indication for Rubraca in the U.S., following its approval in December 2016 as monotherapy for the treatment of patients with advanced ovarian cancer. FDA granted regular approval for Rubraca in this second, broader and earlier-line indication on a priority review timeline based on positive data from the phase 3 ARIEL3 clinical trial, for which we first announced data in June 2017. This approval in the maintenance treatment indication supported our ability to raise net proceeds of $386 million in a financing in April 2018.

We were prepared for the commercial launch in the U.S. in the maintenance treatment indication immediately upon approval by the FDA. We did not achieve our net revenue goal for 2018, due to lower than expected uptake of PARP inhibitors as a class in the second line (2L) maintenance treatment setting, and Rubraca’s share of that, as well as the unexpected amount of free drug provided under our patient assistance programs. We also took steps in 2018 to address what we view as the primary challenges to growth of Rubraca in the ovarian cancer space. Our year-end cash position was slightly lower than the goal we set for 2018, due mainly to the lower 2018 revenues. This financial performance is reflected in the volatility of our stock price in 2018, which drove a five-year annualized total shareholder return (TSR) of -21.51%. However, stronger sales performance in the fourth quarter of 2018 had a positive impact on both our stock price and TSR.

In May 2018, the European Commission (EC) authorized Rubraca as monotherapy treatment of adult patients with platinum-sensitive, relapsed or progressive, BRCA mutated (germline and/or somatic), high-grade epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer, who have been treated with two or more prior lines of platinum based chemotherapy, and who are unable to tolerate further platinum based chemotherapy. Following this approval, we submitted a regulatory application to the European Medicines Agency (EMA), as part of a type II variation seeking to expand the marketing authorization for Rubraca (rucaparib) to include a maintenance treatment indication similar to our maintenance treatment indication in the United States.

In October 2018, we presented initial data from our TRITON2 study in advanced prostate cancer at the ESMO 2018 Congress. These data were the basis for the Breakthrough Therapy designation granted in October 2018 by the FDA for Rubraca as a monotherapy treatment of adult patients with BRCA1/2 mutated mCRPC who have received at least one prior androgen receptor (AR)-directed therapy and taxane-based chemotherapy.

In December 2018, the EMA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) adopted a positive opinion recommending an additional indication to include rucaparib as monotherapy for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with platinum-sensitive relapsed high-grade epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are in response (complete or partial) to platinum-based chemotherapy. In January

- 24 -

2019, the EC approved the use of Rubraca for this second indication, expanding Rubraca’s indication beyond its initial marketing authorization in the EU and making Rubraca available to those patients regardless of their BRCA mutation status. One of our goals for 2018 was to be ready for the commercial launch of this maintenance treatment indication in Germany and the United Kingdom. As expected, we did not receive the marketing authorization until early 2019, and upon receipt of the marketing authorization we had completed the build out of the commercial teams in Germany and the U.K. necessary to launch, and were prepared for the commercial launch for the maintenance treatment indication.

Throughout 2018 we continued to enroll patients in our ARIEL4 trial, our phase 3 confirmatory trial for third line treatment of ovarian cancer, and continued to establish sites and enroll patients in TRITON2 and TRITON3, our phase 2 and phase 3, respectively, trials for mCRPC. We also enrolled the first patient in ATHENA, our phase 3 study in advanced ovarian cancer in the first-line maintenance treatment setting evaluating Rubraca plus Opdivo^® (PD-1 inhibitor), Rubraca, Opdivo and placebo in newly diagnosed patients who have completed platinum-based chemotherapy. Our phase 1RUCA-J study identified the 600mg BID dose of rucaparib as the recommended dose in Japanese patients; this will enable development of a bridging strategy and potential inclusion of Japanese sites in planned or ongoing global studies. Each of these studies is currently enrolling patients.

While we did not acquire rights to an additional molecule, rights to lucitanib outside of the U.S. and Japan (excluding China), which had been partnered previously with Servier, were returned to us. Lucitanib is an investigational, oral, potent inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase activity of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors 1 through 3(VEGFR1-3), platelet-derived growth factor receptors alpha and beta (PDGFRa/ß) and fibroblast growth factor receptors 1 through 3(FGFR1-3). Recent data for a drug that inhibits these same three pathways—when combined with aPD-1 inhibitor—are extremely encouraging and represent a scientific rationale for the development of lucitanib in combination with aPD-1 inhibitor, and we plan a sponsored study of lucitanib in combination with Opdivo in gynecologic cancers. We also intend to initiate a study of lucitanib in combination with rucaparib in ovarian cancer, based on encouraging data of VEGF and PARP inhibitors in combination. Each of these Phase 1b/2 studies is expected to initiate during the first half of 2019.

In addition to the above corporate goals, in 2018, two new patents were issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office in our high dosage strength rucaparib tablets patent family, with claims that cover the commercial Rubraca product, including all commercial dosage strengths. These patents expire in 2035. And, in December 2018, we announced a positive outcome in the European Opposition proceeding related to our European Patent 2534153 for Rubraca.

Lonza completed the construction of a production train dedicated to the manufacture of Rubraca API in the fourth quarter of 2018, and Lonza then began production of the API in that production train.

Although we met most of our corporate goals in 2018 and achieved certain other accomplishments, based on our operational and financial performance in 2018, the target cash bonuses for our named executive officers paid out below target levels for the year, primarily due to lower than expected sales; see page37 for details on annual incentive award decisions. Overall, executive compensation for 2018 reflects our compensation objectives and our operating performance, demonstrating a long-standing commitment to pay our executives based upon the performance they deliver.

Overview of 2018 Compensation Decisions and Actions

The table below summarizes the decisions that the compensation committee made for 2018 relative to our named executive officers’ compensation, as well as updates to the compensation programs for 2019.

Factors Guiding Our Decisions	•   Executive compensation program objectives and philosophy (see page23); •   Degree of achievement of key strategic financial and operational goals for 2017 (for salary and long-term incentive grant decisions made in early 2018) and for 2018 (for annual incentive plan payments made in early 2019 and long-term incentive grant decisions made in 2019). See page36for our 2018 goals and performance; •   Recommendations of our President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) (other than with respect to his own compensation) (see page31); •   Advice of an independent outside compensation consultant (see page32); •   Stockholder input (see page27); •   Market pay practices of our peer group as benchmarked by our independent consultant, including examining trends; and •   Current and historical compensation.
Key 2018 Compensation Decisions	Base Salary Effective March 1, 2018, named executive officers received base salary increases between 3.0% and 15.7%, either in line with the 3.0% annual budget for all employees or higher in order to align their salaries with the 50th percentile of our peer group (i.e. our targeted market positioning). See page 35 for details.
	Annual Performance Bonus In 2018, annual performance bonus targets were increased by 5% for each named executive officer in order to better align their compensation with the 50th percentile of our peer group. Based on the overall corporate-wide performance we achieved in 2018 compared to the goals we set at the beginning of the year, the compensation committee awarded bonus payouts at 80% of target for the named executive officers in March 2019. See page 36 for details.
	Equity Grants On March 1, 2018, named executive officers other than Mr. Mahaffy received annual equity grants in the form of stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs), each vesting in installments over a four-year period. Mr. Mahaffy received stock options to purchase 120,000 shares of our common stock that will vest over four years. See page 37 for details.
	Updated Peer Group We reassessed and updated our peer group, removing three companies that no longer match our size and adding four new companies that reflect our industry, stage of development, market capitalization, revenues and number of employees. See page 32 for more details.
	AnnualSay-On-Pay Stockholder Input To recognize the importance of our stockholders’ perspectives on our executive compensation practices, beginning in 2019, we will move to conducting asay-on-pay stockholder vote annually, rather than every three years.

- 26 -

Key 2019 Compensation Decisions	Base Salary Effective February 1, 2019, named executive officers other than Mr. Hooks received base salary increases of 3.5%, consistent with the annual budget increase for all employees. Mr. Muehl received an additional 1.5% salary increase in connection with his February 1, 2019 promotion to Executive Vice President. Mr. Hooks did not receive a salary increase since he is no longer with the company. See page 35 for details.
	Equity Grants On February 1, 2019, named executive officers other than Mr. Mahaffy received annual equity grants in the form of stock options and RSUs, each vesting in installments over a four-year period. Mr. Mahaffy received stock options to purchase 300,000 shares of our common stock, of which 100,000 are tied to performance-based vesting (the Company achieving a certain level of product sales) and the remainder vest over four years. See page 38 for details.
	Removing Change In ControlGross-Ups The employment agreements with our executive officers no longer contain Section 280Ggross-up provisions. See page 40 for details.

Stockholder Input on Executive Compensation

Our board of directors and the members of our compensation committee favor a strongpay-for-performance approach to executive compensation and value the opinions of our stockholders regarding compensation and other issues. We are committed to soliciting and considering stockholder input as we evaluate the design of our executive compensation programs and the specific compensation decisions for each of our named executive officers.   In 2018, approximately 70% of the advisorysay-on-pay votes cast approved the compensation of our named executive officers and approximately 99% of the advisorysay-on-frequency votes cast approved holding annual stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers.  

Stockholder Engagement Activities

• In June 2018, based on input solicited though a stockholder vote, we adopted an annual approach to stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers (a“say-on-pay” vote). Beginning in 2019, we will hold annual say-on-pay votes.

• In response to the 2018say-on-pay vote, input from conversations with stockholders following the annual meeting in June 2018 and our annual review of our executive compensation programs and governance practices, our compensation committee and executive officers discussed and agreed to eliminate by amendment taxgross-ups related to change in control provisions as part of their employment agreements.

• In early 2019, we reached out to our top 30 stockholders, representing approximately 86% of outstanding shares at that time, to request meetings to gain feedback regarding changes made to our executive and director compensation programs following the 2018 annual meeting results. The stockholders with whom we have met as part of this outreach effort represent 26% of our stockholder base, and a wide range of holders. These include large and small investors, including both hedge funds and mutual funds, encompassing index funds, value funds, as well as active and passive holders. Company participants at these meetings have included members of the management team other than our CEO and in certain cases a member of the compensation committee.

• We will continue our stockholder outreach following the filing of this proxy statement with the SEC to seek support for our annual meeting proposals and solicit additional feedback regarding compensation and

- 27 -

governance matters of importance to our stockholders. Stockholder input is reported to our compensation committee, nominating and corporate governance committee, and/or the entire board of directors for consideration. We view this outreach effort as a valuable opportunity to discuss compensation and governance measures that are important to our stockholders.

PAY-FOR-PERFORMANCE FOCUS

Aligning Pay with Performance

Our executive compensation program is designed to link pay and performance—an important principle of our compensation philosophy—whereby executives earn target compensation only to the extent we achieve our company-wide performance goals, some of which are short-term, while others take several years to achieve.   Our success depends largely on the contributions of motivated, focused and energized people all working to achieve our company-wide performance goals. Therefore, our annual and long-term incentive plans each have performance measures that apply to our 2018 named executive officers to foster teamwork and maximize our performance. The annual incentive plan also takes into account individual performance and contributions.   Performance-Based Compensation   To the extent target performance measures are not achieved, or they are exceeded, the named executive officers generally will earn compensation below or above the target total compensation, respectively, supporting ourpay-for-performance objectives.  

	Annual Performance Bonus	Equity Compensation	Equity Compensation
	Short-Term Incentive (Cash)	Long-Term Incentive (Stock Options)	Long-Term Incentive (Restricted Stock Units)
Objective	Short-term operational and financial business priorities	Longer-term strategic goals and stock price appreciation	Longer-term strategic goals and stock price appreciation
Time Horizon	1 Year	4 Years	4 Years
Metrics	Achievement of strong company-wide and individual performance	Stock price appreciation	Stock price appreciation

- 28 -

In order to support ourpay-for-performance philosophy and our achievement of strong company-wide performance, the majority of the total compensation our CEO receives is performance-based, as shown below:

President and Chief Executive Officer Pay

This section presents supplemental information to the Summary Compensation Table that begins on page 42. The following chart shows realizable long-term compensation paid to our CEO for the past three years and indicates what we believe are more accurate statements of our CEO’s actual compensation value as compared to the compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table, which is tied to the grant date fair value of awards.

The primary difference between the total amounts shown in the chart below (realizable pay) and in the Summary Compensation Table (reported pay) is that the chart below reflects the intrinsic value of our CEO’s equity awards based on our closing stock price on December 31, 2018 of $17.96 per share, as opposed to the reported pay in the Summary Compensation Table, which represents the grant date fair value of the applicable stock awards.

Since the vast majority of our CEO’s reported pay represents potential pay, the chart below highlights the alignment of ourat-risk compensation with the value of our stock and hence, the long-term interests of our CEO with those of our stockholders. For 2017 and 2018, our CEO’s realizable compensation is significantly less than the grant date fair value compensation, reinforcing the performance orientation of our program and the alignment of interests between our executives and our stockholders. The same would have been true for 2016, however, Mr. Mahaffy did not receive an equity award that year.

Additionally, our CEO, who is a founder, continues to hold all of the equity he has been granted since our IPO apart from small gifts to his children and to a donor-advised fund for the purpose of charitable contributions, reflecting his long-term commitment to building value for our stockholders. Because of this, our CEO has not

- 29 -

realized any gains from any equity-based compensation since our inception, as evidenced in his realized pay in the chart below.

Realizable pay includes:   Base Salary: Yearly pay based on role, skills, experience and performance in the role   Annual Performance Bonus: Annual cash award payout amounts for 2016, 2017 and 2018   Equity Compensation: Represents the current intrinsic value of the stock options granted during that year using the stock price on December 31, 2018 Realized pay includes:   Base Salary: Yearly pay based on role, skills, experience and performance in the role   Annual Performance Bonus: Annual cash award payout amounts for 2016, 2017 and 2018   Equity Compensation: Gains received from exercised stock options

GOVERNANCE OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

We have developed our executive compensation program to align with current governance and best practices while being able to achieve our stated objectives and philosophy and support our ambitious business goals:

What We Do

What We Don’t Do

✓ Maintain an industry-specific peer group for benchmarking pay ✓ Target pay based on market norms ✓ Deliver executive compensation primarily through performance-based pay ✓ Award bonuses commensurate with performance ✓ Set challenging short- and long-term incentive award goals ✓ Provide strong oversight that ensures adherence to incentive grant regulations and limits ✓ Maintain a clawback policy for equity and incentive compensation

× No hedging or pledging of equity × Nore-pricing of stock options × No 280G taxgross-ups upon change in control × No excessive perquisites × No supplemental executive retirement plans

- 30 -

What We Do	What We Don’t Do
✓ Require minimum levels of stock ownership by executives and directors ✓ Require holding period for shares realized by executives from stock option exercises or equity award settlement ✓ Offer market-competitive benefits for executives that are consistent with the benefits provided to the rest of our employees ✓ Consult with an independent advisor on compensation levels and practices

Role of the Compensation Committee

The compensation committee of our board of directors is responsible for determining appropriate compensation levels and arrangements for our named executive officers, ensuring they are consistent with our compensation philosophy and objectives, and support the successful recruitment, development and retention of executive talent and leadership required to achieve our business objectives. In making this determination, the

The compensation committee reviews all the components of annual compensation (including base salary, annual performance bonus and equity compensation) for the named executive officers and determines that each individual’s total compensation is reasonable and consistent with our compensation philosophy.

compensation committee considers each named executive officer’s individual performance and contributions to our growth and success, as well as overall achievement of performance goals. The compensation committee also considers the recommendations of our CEO, market data provided by the compensation committee’s external independent compensation consultant and additional factors, such as the named executive officer’s operating responsibilities, experience level, retention risk, tenure and performance in the position.

In determining the levels and mix of compensation, our compensation committee has not generally relied on formulaic guidelines, but rather has maintained a flexible approach to compensation determinations, which allows it to adapt the various elements of compensation to motivate individual executives and achieve our specific strategic and financial goals.

The compensation committee then approves, with any modifications it deems appropriate, base salaries, target annual performance bonus opportunities, equity compensation opportunities and grants for our named executive officers.

In reviewing our compensation program, the compensation committee considers whether the programs encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking that could have a material adverse effect on us and has concluded that they do not.

Role of the President and Chief Executive Officer

Our CEO periodically reviews each named executive officer’s overall performance and makes recommendations to the compensation committee on the elements of the named executive officers’ compensation (other than for the CEO). These recommendations are based on our CEO’s personal review of the other named executive officers’ performance, job responsibilities and importance to our overall business strategy, as well as our compensation philosophies. Although these recommendations are given significant weight, the compensation committee retains full discretion when determining compensation.

The compensation package for our CEO is determined by the compensation committee in its sole discretion. Our CEO does not participate in discussions regarding his compensation.

- 31 -

Role of the Compensation Consultant

The compensation committee retains ultimate responsibility for compensation-related decisions. The compensation committee has the power to hire and fire independent compensation consultants, legal counsel, and financial or other advisors as it may deem necessary to assist it in the performance of its duties and responsibilities, without consulting or obtaining the approval of our senior management. The compensation committee recognizes the importance of objective, independent expertise

The compensation committee has assessed the independence of Willis Towers Watson pursuant to SEC and NASDAQ rules and concluded that no conflict of interest exists that would prevent Willis Towers Watson from independently representing the compensation committee.

and advice in carrying out its responsibilities. To add rigor in the review process and to inform the compensation committee of market trends, the compensation committee engages an independent compensation consultant to review and advise on our compensation practices and to assess whether our compensation program is competitive and supports the compensation committee’s goal to align the interests of executive officers with those of stockholders. The independent compensation consultant also provides market data directly to the compensation committee, which the compensation committee references when determining compensation for executive officers. For the first half of 2018, the compensation committee engaged the services of Radford, an Aon Hewitt company, for this purpose. In June of 2018, the compensation committee terminated its partnership with Radford and engaged Willis Towers Watson as its independent compensation consultant going forward.

The compensation committee has the sole authority to approve the independent compensation consultant’s fees and terms of the engagement. The compensation committee regularly reviews its relationship with, and assesses the independence of, Willis Towers Watson to ensure executive compensation consulting independence.

The process includes a review of the services Willis Towers Watson provides, the quality of those services, and fees associated with the services during the year.

Executive Compensation Peer Group

We believe that stockholders are best served when the compensation packages of senior executives are competitive but fair. By fair, we mean that the executives will be able to understand that the compensation package reflects their market value and their personal contribution to the business. To help ensure we provide our named executive officers with fair and market-competitive compensation and to support retention of our key leaders, we annually review compensation we offer our executives against executives within our peer group. Our 2018 peer group consisted of companies determined to have or be:

• Market capitalization in the range of $1 billion to $9 billion (approximately 0.3 to 3 times the company’s market capitalization);

• Commercial companies with revenues under $500 million (or recent new drug applications with breakthrough therapy designation by the Food and Drug Administration); and

• Generally between 300 and 500 employees.

- 32 -

Our peer group is regularly reviewed by our compensation committee with consideration given to our strategy and the advice of our compensation committee’s independent advisor. Our compensation committee approved the following 20 companies as part of our peer group for 2018:

2018 Executive Compensation Peer Group1
ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc. Agios Pharmaceuticals, Inc.2 Array BioPharma Inc. BeiGene, Ltd.2 Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. ImmunoGen, Inc.2 Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Inc.	Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Nektar Therapeutics Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Puma Biotechnology, Inc. Radius Health, Inc.2	Repligen Corporation Seattle Genetics, Inc. Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. TESARO, Inc. The Medicines Company Theravance Biopharma, Inc.

¹  The following companies were removed as a compensation peer for 2018: Exelixis, Inc. and Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc. as they no longer met one or more of the company peer group criteria outlined above.

²  Added as new compensation peer for 2018.

Targeting Compensation to Market

The compensation committee believes that targeting compensation for each executive between the 50^th and 75^th percentiles of their counterparts in our publicly-traded peer companies helps achieve our compensation objectives and will better position us to achieve our goals.

Using Peer Group Data to Set Target Opportunity

In setting 2018 compensation, the compensation committee reviewed the market data for our peer group and compared each named executive officer’s base salary, target annual performance bonus and equity compensation value, separately and in the aggregate, to amounts paid to similarly-situated executives at our peer companies. We believe using our peer group (selected based on the criteria above, which closely aligns with our company profile) as opposed to a group that comprises a more diverse and broad set of companies (such as an industry group recognized within the S&P 400) is a better comparator for setting compensation for our employees and a better barometer of competing opportunities for our employees.

Compensation for each executive may vary from this range depending on other factors, such as internal pay equity amongst our named executive officers or levels of authority, responsibility and experience of our named executive officers that exceed the norms for individuals holding comparably-titled positions at other companies.

ELEMENTS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM

Our executive compensation program is designed to align the interests of our named executive officers and stockholders and to encourage both personal and collective contributions to support our growth. The following chart highlights the key elements of our executive compensation program and how each is linked to program objectives.

ANALYSIS OF 2018 COMPENSATION DECISIONS

Compensation packages for our named executive officers generally consist of base salary, bonus programs and equity compensation. In determining the levels and mix of compensation, we have not generally relied on formulaic guidelines, but rather have maintained a flexible approach to compensation determinations based on specific strategic and financial goals deemed important to our long-term success. We believe that the relationship of fixed to performance-based compensation is properly balanced and provides us with an effective means to attract, motivate and retain our named executive officers, as well as reward them for increases in the value of our common stock.

Base Salary

Base salaries for the named executive officers are intended to reflect their skill set, experience, role and responsibilities. The compensation committee initially determines base salary for named executive officers at the time of their appointment based on their position. The compensation committee periodically reviews base salaries for the named executive officers and may make adjustments based on individual performance, overall company performance and, when appropriate, to maintain consistency with our compensation objectives, including being market competitive. Establishing Base Salaries   When establishing base salaries for named executive officers, the compensation committee considers an initial guideline between the 50th and 75th percentiles of the general industry and peer company data for comparable roles. Individual and company performance are also considered.

2018 Base Salary Decisions

Effective March 1, 2018, base salaries for Messrs. Mahaffy, Muehl and Hooks and Dr. Rolfe were increased to align with the 50^th percentile of our peer group. Ms. Ivers-Read, who was already at the 75^th percentile, received a base salary increase consistent with the annual budget increase for all employees.

The following table lists the compensation of our named executive officers for 2017 and 2018.

	2018 Base Salary
	2017 Salary		2018 Salary		Percent Change
Patrick J. Mahaffy	$	650,000	$	696,300		7.1	%

Lindsey Rolfe	$	470,000	$	489,300		4.1	%
C. Dale Hooks	$	400,000	$	421,300		5.3	%

2019 Base Salary Decisions

Effective February 1, 2019, named executive officers other than Mr. Hooks received base salary increases of 3.5%, consistent with the annual budget increase for all employees. Mr. Muehl received an additional 1.5% salary increase in connection with his February 1, 2019 promotion to Executive Vice President. Mr. Hooks did not receive a salary increase since he is no longer with the company.

	2019 Base Salary
	2018 Salary		2019 Salary		Percent Change
Patrick J. Mahaffy	$	696,300	$	720,670		3.5	%

Annual Performance Bonus

Our annual performance bonus provides named executive officers with the opportunity to earn rewards based on the achievement of strong corporate-wide performance.

2018 Annual Performance Bonus Decisions   During the first quarter of 2019, the compensation committee reviewed our performance against our 2018 corporate goals, as well as the overall progress of the company. The 2018 corporate-wide goals included: Linking Compensation to Performance   The compensation committee believes that
linking pay to performance will motivate
our executives to achieve the greatest
possible returns for our stockholders.

2018 Corporate Goals	Status

For purposes of annual performance bonus, our named executive officers are measured on corporate performance goals. Based on the overall corporate-wide performance we achieved in 2018 compared to the goals we set at the beginning of the year and our operational and financial performance, the compensation committee awarded bonus payouts at 80% of target for the named executive officers in March 2019.

	2018 Annual Incentive (paid in 2019)
	Target as a % of Base Salary			Target Award Opportunity		Actual Amount Awarded		Actual as a % of Base Salary
Patrick J. Mahaffy		70	%	$	487,410	$	389,928		56	%

Equity Compensation

As with their other elements of compensation, the compensation committee determines the amount of long-term incentive compensation opportunities for our executive officers as part of its annual compensation review. In order to align the interests of our named executive officers with those of our stockholders, as well as to provide sufficient retention incentives to our executives, the compensation committee deemed it appropriate to grant stock options and restricted stock units, or RSUs, pursuant to our Clovis Oncology, Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, or the 2011 Plan, to our named executive officers. Stock-settled restricted stock units are “full value grants,” meaning that, upon vesting, the recipient is

Determining Equity Grants The compensation committee took into account both the grant date fair value and the actual realizable value of the stock options and restricted stock units then outstanding. We believe realizable value is a more accurate statements of our named executive officers’ actual compensation value as compared to the grant date fair value of these awards.

awarded the full share. As a result, while the value executives realize in connection with an award of restricted stock units does depend on our stock price, time-vested restricted stock units generally have some value even if our stock price significantly decreases following their grant. As a result, time-vested restricted stock units help to secure and retain executives and instill an ownership mentality, regardless of whether our stock price increases or decreases, although the value of restricted stock units is lower if our stock price decreases. In contrast, stock options provide an effective performance incentive and align the executives’ interest with that of stockholder interests because our executive officers derive value from their options only if our stock price increases following their grant (which benefits all stockholders) and they remain employed with us beyond the date that their options “vest” (that is, become exercisable).

2018 Equity Compensation Decisions

On March 1, 2018, our named executive officers were granted stock options and, other than with respect to Mr. Mahaffy, RSUs.

• Stock options were granted at an exercise price of $58.43 per share, the closing price per share of our common stock on NASDAQ on the grant date.

• 25% of the shares of common stock subject to the stock options vest on theone-year anniversary of the grant, and the remainder vest in substantially equal monthly installments over the 36 months immediately following the first anniversary of the grant, subject to continued employment through such date.

• 25% of the shares of common stock subject to the RSUs vest and settle on theone-year anniversary of grant, and the remainder vest and settle in substantially equal quarterly installments over the 12 quarters immediately following the first anniversary of the grant, subject to continued employment through such date.

The following table provides information about the number of stock options and RSUs granted in March 2018, and the value of those stock options and RSUs:

2019 Equity Compensation Decisions

On February 1, 2019, our named executive officers, except for Mr. Hooks, were granted stock options and, other than with respect to Mr. Mahaffy, RSUs.

• Stock options were granted at an exercise price of $25.75 per share, the closing price per share of our common stock on NASDAQ on the grant date.

• Other than with respect to Mr. Mahaffy’s performance-based vesting stock options, 25% of the shares of common stock subject to the stock options vest on theone-year anniversary of the grant, and the remainder vest in substantially equal monthly installments over the 36 months immediately following the first anniversary of the grant, subject to continued employment through such date.

Retirement Savings Programs

In 2018, we provided retirement benefits to our named executive officers, other than Dr. Rolfe, through the Clovis Oncology, Inc. 401(k) plan, a defined contribution retirement savings plan, and to Dr. Rolfe through a statutory workplace pension scheme maintained in the United Kingdom. The named executive officers participate in these plans on the same terms and conditions as our other employees. For the 401(k) plan, we make matching contributions to the account of each eligible employee of 100% on the first 4% of gross wages that an employee contributes to his or her account. In 2018, each named executive officer, other than Dr. Rolfe, received matching contributions of $10,800 to his or her 401(k) plan account, and Dr. Rolfe received a contribution of $19,816 to her pension plan. Contributions to Clovis retirement plans support an important part of our executive compensation program objectives: retention.

Other Benefits

In 2018, all of the named executive officers were eligible to participate in a number of broad-based benefit programs, including health benefits and a life insurance benefit equal to two times their base salary, subject to an

- 38 -

overall cap. Because the U.S. Internal Revenue Code imputes income on life insurance benefits above a threshold ($50,000 in 2018), we include an amount of income attributable to the taxable insurance premiums we pay. This life insurance benefit is provided to all employees and consequently applies to our named executive officers.

We maintain an employee stock purchase plan, the ESPP, which provides our employees, including our named executive officers, with an opportunity to purchase our ordinary shares at a discount on atax-qualified basis through payroll deductions. The ESPP is designed to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The named executive officers also received certain perquisites, including supplemental long-term disability coverage, which we believe are necessary in light of the competitive market for talent in our industry. The total cost of these benefits is a small percentage of each named executive officers’ total compensation. The value of these benefits is reflected in the All Other Compensation column in the Summary Compensation Table.

Other Key Features of Our Executive Compensation Program

As we look to the future of the company, we have adopted policies to help drive sustainable growth by further aligning the financial interests of our executives and stockholders with long-term stock price performance, which will help limit excessive risk-taking and executive misconduct through stock ownership guidelines, minimum holding requirements, a clawback policy and an enhanced anti-hedging policy, as outlined below.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

Our stock ownership guidelines require all executive officers to hold a minimum number of shares of our stock while serving as an executive officer. The guidelines are intended to further align the interests of executive management with those of our stockholders by requiring executives to be subject to the same long-term stock price volatility our stockholders experience. The minimum threshold is based on a multiple of base compensation, equal to three times base salary for our CEO and one times base salary for all other executive officers.

When determining whether the executive officers have met the minimum threshold requirements under the policy, calculations include all shares held outright by the executive and any vested equity awards. Each executive initially has five years in order to meet his or her minimum ownership threshold (and one year after a salary increase). During this five-yearphase-in period, the executive is not allowed to sell more than 50% of any vested equity awards until he or she has met the applicable minimum threshold. The policy is administered and monitored by our Principal Financial Officer under the direction of the compensation committee. Currently, each of our named executive officers is in compliance with our stock ownership guidelines.

Minimum Holding Requirements

All new equity awards are subject to minimum holding requirements. This requires all executive officers to hold any shares obtained upon the exercise of a stock option or the vesting or settlement of other share-based awards for at least six months, except as necessary to cover the exercise price, taxes and broker commissions.

Clawback Policy

We maintain specific provisions regarding the recovery (“clawback”) of awards to deter certain types of conduct, including conduct that could affect the accuracy of our financial statements. If the board of directors determines that an executive officer has engaged in detrimental conduct that directly or indirectly results in a material misstatement in our financial statements or performance metrics, which affects the executive officer’s compensation, the board of directors may, in its discretion, seek reimbursement of any portion of performance-based equity awards earned by or incentive cash compensation paid or awarded to the executive that is greater than what would have been earned by, paid or awarded to the executive if calculated based on the restated

- 39 -

financial statements or performance metrics. If the board of directors determines that it is appropriate to recoup incentive cash compensation or performance-based equity awards from an executive officer under this policy, the board of directors will, in its sole discretion, determine the following:

• The amount of incentive-based cash compensation or equity compensation provided to the executive officer that is subject to recoupment, and

• The method of recoupment, including whether to seek the return of incentive-based compensation already paid or to withhold or otherwise recoup (totally or partially) compensation that has not vested or has not been paid.

Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policies

Our Insider Trading Policy prohibits hedging, pledging, short sales and transactions involving puts, calls and other derivative securities on an exchange by any employee or director.

Impact of Accounting and Tax Requirements on Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, or Section 162(m), generally disallows public companies a tax deduction for compensation in excess of $1 million paid to their chief executive officers and three other highly compensated executive officers (other than the chief financial officer) unless an exemption applies. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, enacted on December 22, 2017, substantially modified Section 162(m) and, among other things, beginning in 2018, expanded the scope of the executive officers subject to Section 162(m), or the Covered Employees, to include any individual who served as the chief executive officer and chief financial officer at any time during the taxable year and the three other most highly compensated officers (other than the chief executive officer and chief financial officer) for the taxable year, and now provides that once an individual becomes a Covered Employee for any taxable year beginning after December 31, 2016, that individual will remain a Covered Employee for all future years, including following any termination of employment.

The compensation committee periodically reviews the potential consequences of Section 162(m) with respect to the elements of our compensation program; however, given that the impact of Section 162(m) on taxes currently payable by us is mitigated by our net operating loss carryforwards and in order to maintain flexibility in compensating executive officers in a manner designed to promote varying corporate goals in the best interest of the company, the compensation committee has not limited compensation to those levels or types of compensation that would be deductible by us.

Employment Agreements

Each of our named executive officers is party to substantially similar employment agreements (described in more detail below) with Clovis. With the assistance of our compensation consultants, the compensation committee determined that it was advisable to enter into employment agreements with each named executive officer to ensure that the compensation and benefits provided to such executives was competitive with our publicly-traded peer companies and to ensure that we have adequate protection in the form of restrictive covenants following a termination of employment. The employment agreements with each of our named executive officers also provide for severance payments and benefits upon certain qualifying terminations of employment. For additional information about these employment agreements, see “—Narrative Disclosure Relating to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table” on page 44.

In 2019, each of our named executive officers (other than Dr. Rolfe, whosegross-up provision was previously eliminated in connection with her relocation to the U.K. voluntarily agreed to remove the provisions which would have entitled him or her to receive agross-up payment in the event excise taxes would be imposed on any “parachute payments” under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code.

On October 29, 2018, Mr. Hooks resigned as the company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer. Prior to his resignation, Mr. Hooks was party to an employment agreement with Clovis pursuant to which he was eligible to receive the following severance in connection with a qualifying termination, subject to his execution of a general release of claims and continued compliance with any restrictive covenants: (i) any earned but unpaid bonus for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year of termination; (ii) continuation of his then-current base salary during for a period of six months; and (iii) payment of an applicable percentage (the percentage of employee health care premium costs covered by the company as of the date of termination) of the executive’s COBRA premiums for a period of six months. In connection with his resignation, we agreed to pay Mr. Hooks the severance under his employment agreement, except that the continued base salary was paid in one lump sum and he will receive COBRA benefits for a period of 18, rather than six, months. In addition, the period during which Mr. Hooks may exercise his vested options was extended through the 12-month anniversary of his resignation, or October 29, 2019. The value of the severance payments and benefits made to Mr. Hooks in 2018 are reflected in the All Other Compensation column in the Summary Compensation Table on page 42.

Narrative Disclosure Relating to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table

Employment Agreements with Messrs. Mahaffy, Muehl and Hooks, Ms. Ivers-Read, and Dr. Rolfe

We are a party to employment agreements with Messrs. Mahaffy and Muehl, Ms. Ivers-Read, and Dr. Rolfe. The agreements are substantially the same other than differences in base salary, target annual bonus percentages and severance. Prior to his resignation in October 2018, we were also a party to a substantially similar employment agreement with Mr. Hooks.

The employment agreements for Messrs. Mahaffy and Muehl, Ms. Ivers-Read, and Dr. Rolfe provide for an annual base salary, which for 2018 was $696,300, $433,800, $450,246, and $489,300, respectively. Additionally, for 2018 the target annual bonuses were set at 70% of his annual base salary for Mr. Mahaffy, 50% of their respective annual base salaries for Ms. Ivers-Read and Dr. Rolfe, and 45% of his annual base salary for Mr. Muehl.

In the event that a named executive officer’s employment is terminated by us without “just cause” (as defined in the employment agreement) or by the executive for “good reason” (as defined in the employment agreement), the executive will, subject to his or her execution of a general release of claims and continued compliance with any restrictive covenants, be entitled to:

• Any earned but unpaid bonus for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year of termination;

• Continuation of his or her then-current base salary during the “severance period;” and

• Payment of an applicable percentage (the percentage of employee health care premium costs covered by us as of the date of termination) of the executive’s COBRA premiums during the severance period.

For purposes of the employment agreements, the term “severance period” generally means nine months for Mr. Mahaffy and six months for each of Mr. Muehl, Ms. Ivers-Read, and Dr. Rolfe, except that the severance period will increase to 24 months for Mr. Mahaffy and 12 months for each of Mr. Muehl, Ms. Ivers-Read, and Dr. Rolfe in the event that such termination occurs during the 12 months following a “change in control” (as defined in the employment agreements). Additionally, in the event that such termination occurs within 12 months following a change in control, the executives will also be entitled to (x) accelerated vesting of all outstanding equity awards, and (y) an amount equal to the executive’s then-current target bonus, payable in equal monthly installments during the severance period.

Following any termination of a named executive officer’s employment, he or she will be subject to customarynon-compete restrictions for six months (or in the case of Mr. Mahaffy, nine months) and also customarynon-solicit restrictions with respect to employees and customers for 12 months.

Following his resignation on October 29, 2018, Mr. Hooks was not subject to anynon-compete restrictions in light of the prohibition on such agreements for employees employed in the State of California. For a discussion of the severance payments made to Mr. Hooks pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, please see “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Employment Agreements” above.

Stock Plan

We maintain the 2011 Plan, which we adopted to afford our compensation committee with the flexibility of allowing grants of a wide variety of equity awards to our key employees, directors and consultants, including incentive and nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, and other stock-based awards. The 2011 Plan is designed to assist us in attracting, retaining, motivating and rewarding key employees, directors, and consultants, and promoting the creation of long-term value for our stockholders by closely aligning the interests of the participants with those of our stockholders. The number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the 2011 Plan will be increased (i) from time to time by the number of shares of our common stock forfeited upon the expiration, cancellation, forfeiture, cash settlement or other termination of awards under our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, and (ii) at the discretion of our board of directors, on the date of each annual meeting of our stockholders, by up to the lesser of (x) a number of additional shares of our common stock representing 4% of our then-outstanding shares of common stock on such date and (y) 2,758,621 shares of our common stock. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, we granted options to purchase our common stock to certain of our named executive officers and RSUs to certain of our named executive officers pursuant to the 2011 Plan. For a discussion of such option and RSU grants, please see “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Analysis of 2018 Compensation Decisions—Equity Compensation” above, as well as the footnotes accompanying the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table” above.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Pursuant to their employment agreements, upon certain terminations of employment, Messrs. Mahaffy and Muehl, Ms. Ivers-Read and Dr. Rolfe are entitled to payments of compensation and benefits as described above under “Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table—Employment Agreements.” The table below reflects the amount of compensation and benefits payable to each named executive officer in the event of (i) an involuntary termination without “just cause” or a resignation for “good reason” and (ii) an involuntary termination without “just cause” or a resignation for “good reason” within 12 months following a change in control. The amounts shown assume that the applicable triggering event occurred on December 31, 2018, and therefore are estimates of the amounts that would be paid to the named executive officers upon the occurrence of such triggering event. Mr. Hooks was not employed by Clovis as of December 31, 2018, and accordingly is not included in the table below.

(1) Includes the value of base salary continuation for nine months, in the case of Mr. Mahaffy, and six months, in the case of our other named executive officers.

(2) Includes the value of payment of an applicable percentage of the executive’s COBRA premiums for nine months, in the case of Mr. Mahaffy, and six months, in the case of our other named executive officers. Dr. Rolfe did not elect to receive health care benefits in 2018, and as a result, there is no value attributable to Dr. Rolfe’s benefit continuation.

(3) Includes the value of (i) base salary continuation for 24 months, in the case of Mr. Mahaffy, and 12 months, in the case of our other named executive officers and (ii) an amount equal to the named executive officer’s target bonus.

(4) Includes the value of payment of an applicable percentage of the executive’s COBRA premiums for 24 months, in the case of Mr. Mahaffy, and 12 months, in the case of our other named executive officers. Dr. Rolfe did not elect to receive health care benefits in 2018, and as a result, there is no value attributable to Dr. Rolfe’s benefit continuation.

(5) Includes the value of accelerated vesting of all outstanding equity awards, based on the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2018, which the executives would have been entitled to upon an involuntary termination without misconduct or a resignation for good reason, in each case, occurring on December 31, 2018 assuming such termination was within 12 months following a change in control.

(6) Assuming a 45% tax rate and taking into account the full value of accelerated vesting of all outstanding equity awards, we determined that none of our named executive officers would have received a gross-up payment in connection with the amounts they would have received upon an involuntary, post-change in control termination. Dr. Rolfe was not entitled to receive agross-up in 2018 because she is U.K. based, and each of the other named executive officers voluntarily agreed to amend his or her employment agreement to remove such provisions in 2019.

CEO Pay Ratio

Under SEC regulations, we are required to calculate and disclose the total annual compensation paid to our median employee, as well as the ratio of the total compensation paid to the median employee as compared to the total compensation paid to our CEO (“CEO Pay Ratio”). Set forth below is a description of the methodology, including material assumptions, adjustments and estimates, we used to identify the median employee in 2017 for purposes of calculating the CEO Pay Ratio:

• We identified the median employee based on our U.S.- and U.K.-based employee population as of December 31, 2017. We excluded from the determination of median employee a total number ofnon-U.S. andnon-U.K. employees representing less than 3.5% of our total workforce as of that date, pursuant to thede minimis exemption provided under Item 402(u) of RegulationS-K.

• In determining compensation for purposes of the median calculation, we used each employee’s annual base pay, annual bonus paid in calendar year 2017, and any retention plan bonus and car allowance.

• We annualized the base salary earned in 2017 by permanent employees (full-time and part-time) hired after January 1, 2017. In identifying the median employee, we did not make anycost-of-living adjustments.

• Amounts paid in foreign currency were converted into United States dollars using foreign exchange rates averaged over the full year 2017.

Using this approach, we selected the median of our employee population for 2017. We decided to use the same median employee to determine our 2018 CEO Pay Ratio since there was no material change to our employee compensation arrangements during 2018, and we believe that our increased headcount during 2018 would not significantly impact our calculation. 2018 annual total compensation for this employee was calculated in accordance with the requirements of the Summary Compensation Table.

- 48 -

For 2018, the median of the annual total compensation of our employees (other than our CEO) was $349,809 and the annual total compensation of our CEO was $6,267,458. The ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees other than the CEO was 18:1.

The pay ratio above represents our reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with the rule and applicable guidance. The rule and guidance provide significant flexibility in how companies identify the median employee, and each company may use a different methodology and make different assumptions particular to that company. As a result, as the SEC explained when it adopted the rule, in considering thepay-ratio disclosure, stockholders should keep in mind that the rule was not designed to facilitate comparisons of pay ratios among different companies, even companies within the same industry, but rather to allow stockholders to better understand and assess each particular company’s compensation practices andpay-ratio disclosures.

Neither the compensation committee nor our management used our CEO Pay Ratio measure in making compensation decisions.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

The compensation committee of our board of directors is responsible for making recommendations to our board of directors on appropriate compensation levels and arrangements for ournon-employee directors, ensuring they are consistent with our compensation policy and remain competitive with our peer companies. The compensation committee reviews ournon-employee director compensation annually.

In making recommendations, the compensation committee takes various factors into consideration, including:

• Non-employee directors’ responsibilities and the form and amount of compensation paid to directors at our peer companies;

• Ability to retain and attract the most qualified and experiencednon-employee directors to oversee the management of our business and operations; and

• Advice of an independent compensation consultant to review ournon-employee director compensation program and promote alignment with market practice and stockholder interests.

• In 2018, stockholder feedback received from an advisory vote on theNon-Employee Director Compensation Policy held at our 2018 annual meeting, as well as feedback received during stockholder outreach.

Our goal is to appropriately compensatenon-employee directors for their leadership and expertise while aligningnon-employee director interests with those of our stockholders. In line with this goal, ournon-employee director compensation policy is underpinned by the same philosophy and principles that govern our executive compensation program.

Ournon-employee director compensation program is designed to:

✓ Alignnon-employee director and stockholder interests through grants ofnon-statutory stock option awards;

✓ Encourage a vested interest in our company’s long-term business performance through stock ownership requirements;

✓ Alignnon-employee director compensation with our peer companies of comparable market capitalization and size;

✓ Ensure a robustnon-employee director compensation governance framework is in place; and

✓ Help us attract and retain talent for board of director service to support the long-term value of Clovis.

Stockholder Engagement onNon-Employee Director Compensation

In response to stockholder feedback, including only receiving a 42% favorable vote on the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy held at our 2018 annual meeting (which was held as part of the terms of a proposed director compensation litigation settlement agreement), we have made changes to our non-employee director compensation program. We heard from stockholders that:

• Some companies in the peer group may no longer be comparable to Clovis, and

• Overall compensation for non-employee directors is above market practice for the size of the company.

Therefore, we took the following actions:

June 2018		July 2018		August—September 2018		October 2018		October 2018
In response to the vote, we delayed making our 2018 annual equity grants to non-employee directors (moved from June to October 2018) to allow time to understand stockholder feedback and reassess our peer group.	è	We engaged a new independent compensation advisor, Willis Towers Watson, to conduct analysis of our peer group and pay practices for non-employee directors.	è	We reassessed and updated our peer group, removing two companies that no longer matched our size and added four new companies that reflect our industry, market capitalization, revenues and number of employees. See page 32 for more details.	è	After reviewing our non-employee director compensation relative to our updated peer group, we retained the $50,000 annual cash award and lowered the annual equity award value to $300,000 in line with the median of the updated peer group. And, equity awards are now determined based on value rather than granting the same number of stock options each year.	è	We granted stock options valued at $300,000 for all continuing non-employee directors and a value of $525,000 to newly elected non-employee directors.

See page 27 for additional information on our stockholder engagement activities.

Non-Employee Director Compensation

Cash and Equity Compensation:Based on our stockholder feedback, analysis of our newly revised peer group, and advice of the compensation committee’s independent compensation consultant effective, as of October 11, 2018, we revised ournon-employee director compensation program to include a cash retainer of $50,000 and an annual grant of stock options valued at $300,000 for all continuing directors. While the stock option value represents the grant date fair value of the applicable stock awards, the realizable value of these awards will be zero unless the company share price increases from the date of grant, reinforcing the performance

orientation of our program and the alignment of interests between ournon-employee directors and our stockholders.We historically defined equity awards to non-employee directors as a fixed number of options, so the value of the award each year was based on our stock price and option valuation on the date of grant. By adopting a fixed value approach that is aligned with the peer group median value, we will avoid any potential misalignment with our targeted market positioning due to year-on-year changes in our stock price.

Newly appointednon-employee directors will receive the same annual $50,000 cash retainer (prorated for his or her period of service) and a first-year grant (upon initial election or appointment) of stock options valued at $525,000 which vest over a three-year period (versus one year for annual option grants for continuing directors). Providing a larger initial grant to newly appointednon-employee directors aligns with market practice within the biopharmaceutical industry. In subsequent years, their compensation will be consistent with the compensation of continuing directors.

Additional Cash Compensation:In addition to the annual cash retainer, the chairperson of our board of directors and each committee thereof is entitled to greater compensation for his or her services than other members of the board of directors or such committee, as applicable, which we believe is commensurate with the additional time commitment and additional responsibility required by the position held and is consistent with the compensation practices of our peer group companies. Accordingly, thenon-employee director who serves as chair of our board of directors received an additional cash retainer of $30,000; eachnon-employee director who serves as chair of our audit, compensation, and nominating and corporate governance committees received an additional annual cash retainer of $20,000, $15,000, and $10,000, respectively; and eachnon-employee director who serves as a member (other than the chair) of our audit, compensation, and nominating and corporate governance committees received an additional annual cash retainer of $10,000, $7,500, and $5,000, respectively.

Equity Awards:The value of a stock option award, which is granted under our 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, will equal its grant date fair value as determined in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, or any successor provision. The exercise price per share for any such stock options will equal the closing price of a share of our company’s common stock (as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market) on the date of grant. Annual stock options will vest and become exercisable in equal monthly installments over a12-month period after the applicable date of grant. Initial stock options will vest and become exercisable on the first, second and third anniversaries of the applicable date of grant. The vesting of each annual stock option and initial stock option will be subject to full acceleration in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in our 2011 Stock Incentive Plan).

Stock Ownership Guidelines

Allnon-employee directors are required to hold a minimum number of shares of our stock while serving as a director. The guidelines are intended to align the interests ofnon-employee directors with those of our stockholders by requiringnon-employee directors to be subject to the same long-term stock price volatility our stockholders experience. The minimum threshold is equal to three times the directors’ baseline annual retainer fee, or $150,000.

When determining whether the directors have met the minimum ownership requirements under the policy, calculations include all shares held outright by the directors and any vested equity awards. Each director initially has five years in order to meet his or her minimum ownership threshold (and one year after a retainer increase). During this five-yearphase-in period, the director is not allowed to sell more than 50% of any vested equity awards until he or she has met the applicable minimum threshold. The policy is administered and monitored by our Principal Financial Officer under the direction of the compensation committee. Currently, each of ournon-employee directors is in compliance with our stock ownership guidelines or, in the case of our two newest directors, are in the five-yearphase-in period.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table and accompanying footnotes set forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of April 8, 2019 by:

• each person or group of affiliated persons who are known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our common stock;

• each of our named executive officers;

• each member of our board of directors and each nominee; and

• all members of our board of directors and our executive officers as a group.

The amounts and percentages of shares beneficially owned are reported on the basis of SEC regulations governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under SEC rules, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares voting power or investment power over the security, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Securities that can be so acquired are deemed to be outstanding for purposes of computing such person’s ownership percentage, but not for purposes of computing any other person’s percentage. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic interest. Applicable percentages are based on 53,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding on April 8, 2019.

Except as indicated in the footnotes below and subject to applicable community property laws, each of the beneficial owners named in the table below has, to our knowledge, sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock listed as beneficially owned by them. Unless otherwise indicated, the address for each of the stockholders in the table below is c/o Clovis Oncology, Inc., 5500 Flatiron Parkway, Suite 100, Boulder, Colorado 80301.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities. Directors, officers, and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations that no other reports were required, during the year ended December 31, 2018, all directors, officers, and greater than ten percent beneficial owners complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On January 30, 2017, we entered into a Strata Trial Collaboration Agreement (the “Strata Agreement”) with Strata Oncology, Inc. (“Strata”), in order to identify potentially eligible patients for Clovis’ ongoing TRITON (Trial of Rucaparib in Prostate Indications) clinical trial program, which includes Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials of rucaparib in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, via the Strata Trial (the “Strata Trial”), a nationwide observational study sponsored by Strata under whichno-cost sequencing is provided to advanced cancer patients at Strata Trial sites. Keith Flaherty, a member of our board of directors, is also a founder, member of the board of directors and owns less than 3% of the fully-diluted equity of Strata. Accordingly, the Strata Agreement constitutes a related party transaction under Item 404(a) of RegulationS-K and was reviewed and approved by the audit committee of our board of directors. In 2018, we did not make any payments to Strata pursuant to the Strata Agreement.

Other than the Strata Agreement, since the beginning of fiscal year 2017, we have not engaged in any transactions in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000, and in which any of our executive officers, directors or holders of more than 5% of our voting securities, or an affiliate or immediate family member thereof, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than compensation, termination and change in control arrangements, which are described under “Executive and Director Compensation” above. We describe below certain other transactions with our directors, executive officers and stockholders.

Director Compensation

For a discussion of the director compensation arrangements, see “Executive and Director Compensation—Director Compensation” above.

Executive Compensation and Employment Agreements

Please see “Executive and Director Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above for information on compensation arrangements with our named executive officers, including option grants and agreements with our named executive officers.

Indemnification Agreements

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers, and we have purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under certain circumstances. Further, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws limits our directors’ and officers’ liability to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware corporate law.

Policies and Procedures Regarding Transactions with Related Persons

We have a written policy that sets forth our policies regarding the identification, review, consideration, approval and oversight of “related-person transactions.” For purposes of our policy only, a “related-person transaction” is a past, present or future transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which we and any “related person” are participants, the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and a related person has a direct or indirect material interest. Transactions involving compensation for services provided to us as an employee, director, consultant or similar capacity by a related person are not covered by this policy. A “related person,” as determined since the beginning of our last fiscal year, is any executive officer, director or nominee to become director, a holder of more than 5% of our common stock, including any immediate family members of such persons or any entity in which such a person has a 10% or greater equity interest. Any related-person transaction may only be consummated if our audit committee has approved or ratified the transaction in accordance with the policy guidelines set forth below.

- 57 -

The policy imposes an affirmative duty upon each director and executive officer to identify, and we will request that significant stockholders identify, any transaction involving them, their affiliates or immediate family members that may be considered a related party transaction before such person engages in the transaction. Under the policy, where a transaction has been identified as a related-person transaction, management must present information regarding the proposed related-person transaction to our audit committee (or, where review by our audit committee would be inappropriate, to another independent body of our board of directors) for review. The presentation must include a description of, among other things, the material facts, the direct and indirect interests of the related persons, the benefits of the transaction to us and whether any alternative transactions are available.

In the event a director has an interest in the proposed transaction, the director must recuse himself or herself from the deliberations and approval process.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for Notices and, if applicable, our annual report and other proxy materials, with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single Notice and, if applicable, a single set of our annual report and proxy materials, addressed to those stockholders. This practice, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

This year, a number of brokers with account holders who are our stockholders will be “householding” our proxy materials. A single Notice and, if applicable, a single set of our proxy materials, will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. 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 Notice and, if applicable, a single set of proxy materials, please notify your broker or contact us. To contact us, direct your written request to: Investor Relations, Clovis Oncology, Inc., 5500 Flatiron Parkway, Suite 100, Boulder, Colorado 80301 or contact Investor Relations at303-625-5000. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the Notice or our annual report and other proxy materials at their addresses and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their brokers or us, as applicable.

AVAILABLE INFORMATION

We will provide to any stockholder entitled to vote at our Annual Meeting, at no charge, a copy of our Annual Report on Form10-K for fiscal 2018 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2019, including the financial statements and the financial statement schedules contained in the Form10-K. We make our Annual Report on Form10-K, as well as our other SEC filings, available free of charge through the investor relations section of our website located at http://ir.clovisoncology.com as soon as reasonably practicable after they are filed with or furnished to the SEC. Information contained on or accessible through our website or contained on other websites is not deemed to be part of proxy statement. In addition, you may request a copy of the Annual Report on Form10-K by writing to Clovis Oncology, Inc. Investor Relations at 5500 Flatiron Parkway, Suite 100, Boulder, Colorado 80301.

In addition, a stockholder proposal that is not intended for inclusion in our proxy statement under Rule14a-8 may be brought before the 2020 annual meeting so long as we receive information and notice of the proposal in compliance with the requirements set forth in our amended and restated bylaws, addressed to our corporate secretary, Paul E. Gross, at Clovis Oncology, Inc., 5500 Flatiron Parkway, Suite 100, Boulder, Colorado 80301, not later than March 8, 2020 nor earlier than February 7, 2020.
