This Employment Agreement (“Employment Agreement”) is entered into as of October 9, 2021, by and between Quotient Limited (“Employer”) and Ali Kiboro (“Executive”) (collectively, the “Parties”).

B. Executive desires to be employed by Employer and is willing to do so on the terms and conditions set forth below.

It is expressly agreed between the Parties that this Employment Agreement shall be subject to the competent authorities issuing the work and residence permits required for the Executive under Swiss law.

In consideration of the above recitals and of the mutual promises and conditions in this Employment Agreement, the Parties agree:

1. DUTIES AND AUTHORITY; OBLIGATIONS

1.1 Duties. Employer employs Executive as its Chief Financial Officer reporting to the Chief Executive Officer and Executive accepts such employment. Executive will perform all of the employment duties, responsibilities and job functions consistent with such a management position and such other duties and responsibilities consistent with the role of a Chief Financial Officer of a publicly-traded multi-national corporation as deemed necessary or appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Employer (the “Board”) (collectively, the “Employment Duties”). Executive will exercise the authority consistent with those duties and responsibilities. Such Employment Duties may require the performance of work beyond customary office hours and involve varying work period hours and working conditions.

Employer will withhold from the Base Compensation all payroll taxes and other deductions required by applicable law (including, but not limited to, with respect to social security) or authorized by Executive. The Base Compensation will be reviewed in 2023 and thereafter on an annual basis and may be increased as determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

Employer will supply a credit card to Executive to be used solely for expenses incurred in carrying out the Employment Duties. The card must be returned by Executive to Employer immediately upon request by Employer. Employee Benefits for Executive will be provided at Employer’s expense except for any applicable premium contributions, co-pay obligations and taxes on reportable income applicable to Executive’s participation. Employer may adopt, amend, change, substitute, replace, suspend or terminate any of the Employee Benefits during the Employment Term in its sole discretion.

7.2 Disclosure of Employer Inventions. Whether upon Employer’s request or voluntarily, Executive will promptly disclose to Employer or its designee during Executive’s employment with Employer all Employer Inventions that Executive has created, contributed to or knows about, regardless of the nature of that knowledge, and regardless of whether such Employer Invention, or any aspect of such Employer Invention, has been described, committed to writing, or reduced to practice, in whole or part by any other person.

The Parties agree that damages in the event of breach by Executive of Sections 7 (Employer Inventions), 13 (Confidential Information), or 14 (Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation Covenants) of this Employment Agreement would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain, and it is agreed that Employer, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, will have the right to seek an immediate injunction or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any threatened or actual breach without the requirement to post a bond.

SCHEDULE 1

BONUS AND EQUITY GRANT

1. Discretionary Bonus. During the Employment Term, in addition to the Base Compensation, for each fiscal year of Employer ending during the Employment Term, Executive shall have the opportunity to receive an annual ex gratia cash bonus, which may be awarded in Employer’s sole discretion, in an amount equal to up to sixty percent (60%) of the Base Compensation (the “Discretionary Bonus”) then in effect. The Discretionary Bonus shall be based on annual performance criteria and the achievement of personal objectives by Executive, which shall be mutually agreed upon by Employer and the Board and assessed by the Board in its sole discretion. The Discretionary Bonus shall be paid to Executive as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 120 days following the fiscal year to which it relates. The Discretionary Bonus shall be paid to the Executive only if the Executive is employed by Employer on the date of payment.

2. Make-Whole Bonus Payment. If Executive forfeits the yearly cash bonus due to him by Quest Diagnostics, the Employer shall pay Executive, in Q1 CY2022, a lump sum amount equal to the value lost for the current year through to the time of leaving, provided, however, that, such payment shall be subject to Executive’s provision to Employer of documentation substantiating such forfeiture. If the Executive does not forfeit the cash bonus due to him by Quest Diagnostics, no payment shall be made to Executive by the Employer under this Section 2 of this Schedule 1 to the Employment Agreement. The annual base for calculating this amount will be CHF 144,000. If Executive voluntarily terminates the employment agreement within 24 months of the Commencement Date, Executive will be required to pay back the Make-Whole Bonus payment on a prorated basis.

3. Sign-On Payment. The Employer shall pay Executive, in Q1 CY2022, a lump sum amount equal to two hundred thousand Swiss Francs (CHF 200,000). If Executive voluntarily terminates the employment agreement within 24 months of the Commencement Date, Executive will be required to pay back the Sign-On payment on a prorated basis.

4. Sign-On Equity Grant. Effective as of the Commencement Date, Executive shall be granted:

(a) Performance restricted stock units with respect to shares of the Employer having a target fair market value as of the date of grant equal to three hundred and ninety-three thousand five hundred Swiss Francs (CHF 393,750) (the “Sign-On PSUs”). The Sign-On PSUs shall vest on third anniversary of the date of grant up to a maximum of 150% of the target fair market value of such Annual PSUs based on the level of achievement of Corporate performance goals and financial targets, provided, however, that, any Sign-On PSUs not vested shall be forfeited upon termination of Executive’s employment.

(b) Restricted stock units with respect to shares of the Employer having a fair market value as of the date of grant equal to two hundred and thirty-six thousand two hundred and fifty Swiss Francs (CHF 236,250) (the “Sign-On RSUs”). Fifty percent (50%) of the Sign-On RSUs shall vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant, and twenty five percent (25%) of the Sign-On RSUs shall vest on each of the second and third anniversaries of the date of grant, provided, however, that, any Sign-On RSUs not vested shall be forfeited upon termination of Executive’s employment.

(c) Share options with respect to shares of the Employer having a fair market value as of the date of grant equal to one hundred and fifty-seven thousand five hundred Swiss Francs (CHF 157,500) and an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of a share of the Employer on the date of grant (the “Sign-On Share Options”). The Sign-On Share Options shall vest in three equal installments on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the date of grant, provided, however, that, any Sign-On Share Options not vested shall be forfeited upon termination of Executive’s employment.

5. Annual Discretionary Equity Grant. In the Employer’s sole discretion, Executive will be eligible to participate in Employer’s Equity Plan in an amount having a grant date fair value of approximately one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of base salary, in accordance with the terms of the plan documents, award agreements, and any notices provided by Employer to Executive. The Annual Discretionary Equity Grant would normally be split 50% in Performance Share Units vesting on the third anniversary upon success of specific Corporate Goals, 30% in Restricted Stock Units vesting in three equal annual installments and 20% in Stock Options vesting in three equal annual installments. The Executive must be in employment with the Company on the date of the Annual Discretionary Equity Grant award to be eligible for the award. The grant of Annual Discretionary Equity for several years in a row does not give rise to any right of the Executive.
