Annual Equity Awards to Non-Employee Directors. On the date of each annual general meeting of the Company’s shareholders (“Annual Meeting”) or such other date duly authorized by the Compensation Committee or the Board, the Board may consider a grant of share options under the NovoCure Limited 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and a related award agreement to each Non-Employee Director immediately following the Annual Meeting (or such other duly authorized date, as appropriate). Such grant of share options shall be in an amount determined by the Board or Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion (each, an “Annual Equity Award”), provided that such Annual Equity Awards shall not exceed options to purchase 23,600 ordinary shares of the Company (as such number of ordinary shares may be adjusted pursuant to [Section 4.2] of the Plan). It is intended that the Non-Employee Directors elected or appointed to the Board between Annual Meetings will receive an Annual Equity Award for options to purchase a number of ordinary shares of the Company based on that percentage of such annual share option grant that equals the percentage of the year (beginning from the date of such election or appointment) remaining until the next Annual Meeting (assuming that such next Annual Meeting occurs on the anniversary of the preceding Annual Meeting). It is intended that any such Annual Equity Award (or pro-rated portion) will vest ratably on the anniversary of the Annual Equity Award’s grant date.
