PLEASE NOTE: THIS DOCUMENT HAS IMPORTANT LEGAL CONSEQUENCES TO YOU. YOU SHOULD CONSULT AN ATTORNEY OF YOUR CHOICE, AT YOUR EXPENSE, PRIOR TO EXECUTING IT.
1.Parties To This Agreement
This letter is a proposed agreement that Immunovant, Inc. is offering to you. In this document, references to Pete Salzmann refer to “you” and IMMUNOVANT, INC. is referred to as “Immunovant” or the “Company.” Together, you and Immunovant are

2.What You Will Receive Regardless of Whether You Enter Into This Agreement
Whether or not you enter into this Agreement, you will receive the following:
(a)Your regular base pay (less applicable withholding) through April 20, 2025, provided you remain employed at the Company through that date. You will be receiving your regular pay in the same manner that you normally receive your regular pay, such as direct deposit, consistent with established bi-monthly pay cycles as long as you remain employed; and
(b)If you are currently enrolled and participating in the Company’s medical/dental/vision benefits, your coverage will extend until the end of April 2025 (the month in which your Separation Date takes place). Thereafter, you will be able to continue as a member of the Company’s Group Health Plans at your expense in accordance with the terms of those plans, as well as COBRA, for the legally required benefit continuation period. You will be receiving a separate letter explaining your rights and responsibilities with regard to electing your COBRA benefits; and
(c)Accrued vested benefits under any applicable retirement plans offered by the Company. You will receive information directly from Fidelity and you may direct questions to them at 1-800-603-4015; and
(d)To the extent that, as of the Separation Date, you have vested into any or all portion of an equity award with respect to common shares of the Company previously granted to you under the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated from time to time, the “2019 EIP”) or the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated from time to time, the “2018 EIP” and, together with the 2019 EIP, the “Plans”) and the applicable award agreements and grant notices thereunder (together with the Plans, collectively, the “Equity Award Documents”), you will retain rights to such vested equity grant in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of the applicable Equity Award Documents; and
(e)Reimbursement for all approved business-related expenses incurred up to your Separation Date consistent with established travel and expense policies; and
(f)As long as you direct reference inquiries from potential employers to Eric Venker, Immunovant, Inc., 320 West 37th Street, 6th Floor, New York, NY 10018, unless otherwise authorized in writing, the Company will limit information it discloses in response to reference requests to: (1) your dates of employment; and (2) your last position held. Of course, the Company reserves the right to respond truthfully to any compulsory process of law (such as a subpoena) or as otherwise required by law.
3.What You Will Receive Only If You Enter Into This Agreement.
As long as you (i) timely sign, date and return this Agreement (BUT IN NO CASE LATER THAN MAY 11, 2025), (ii) do not revoke this Agreement under Section 24, and (iii) you continue to comply with the Agreement’s requirements and your obligations under the NDIA (as defined below) (the “Payment Conditions”), then in addition to those payments and benefits described in Section 2 above:
•You will receive salary continuation benefit payments at your regular Base Salary for twelve (12) months following your Separation Date, subject to applicable withholdings; and
•If you are currently enrolled and participating in the Company’s medical/dental/vision benefits and you timely and properly elect COBRA continuation coverage, the Company will pay for the cost of COBRA coverage under the Company’s Group Health Plans through the month of April 2026, or until the date you become eligible to be covered under a subsequent employer’s group health insurance plan, whichever occurs earlier. The cost of COBRA coverage to be paid by the Company includes (i) the portion of your premium that the Company subsidized while you were an active employee and (ii) a two (2) percent
administrative fee. COBRA reimbursements shall be made by the Company to you consistent with the Company’s normal expense reimbursement policy, provided that you submit documentation to the Company substantiating your payments for COBRA coverage. If the reimbursements described in this Section would violate the nondiscrimination rules of, or cause the reimbursement to be taxable under, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, together with the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 or Section 105(h) of the Code, the Company may modify this arrangement to effect a lump sum payment to you of the payment amount described in this Section reduced by applicable withholding taxes. Thereafter, you will be able to continue as a member of the Company’s Group Health Plans at your expense in accordance with the terms of those plans, as well as COBRA, for the legally required benefit continuation period. You will be receiving a separate letter explaining your rights and responsibilities with regard to electing your COBRA benefits. You acknowledge and agree that you must provide the Company with written notice of your eligibility to be covered under a subsequent employer’s group health insurance plan no later than five (5) business days after you become eligible for such coverage.
Within thirty (30) days after you return the signed and dated Agreement, provided you do not revoke it under Section 24, you will begin receiving the salary continuation benefit.
In addition, subject to your satisfaction of the Payment Conditions, the Company shall engage you as a non-employee consultant to provide transition services to the Company, as may be requested by the Company from time to time (such services, the “Consulting Services”) with such services requiring no more than eight (8) hours of your time on a weekly basis, during the twelve (12) month period immediately following the Separation Date (the “Consulting Period”). During the Consulting Period, any equity awards with respect to common shares of the Company previously granted to you under the Equity Award Documents that are outstanding as of your Separation Date shall remain outstanding and eligible to continue to vest in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of the applicable Equity Award Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, your Continuous Service (as defined in the applicable Plan) shall be deemed uninterrupted during the Consulting Period for all purposes (including for purposes of post-termination exercise period with respect to any vested stock options with respect to the common shares of the Company outstanding under the Equity Award Documents). In addition, if a Change in Control (as defined in the applicable Plan) occurs during the Consulting Period, any then-outstanding and unvested equity awards shall immediately vest in full upon such Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) in the event (A) you cease to provide Consulting Services during the Consulting Period for any reason or (B) you fail to satisfy any of the Payment Conditions, then the Consulting Period shall be immediately terminated and your equity awards will cease to continue to vest and will otherwise be subject to the treatment set forth in the Equity Award Documents and (ii) none of your equity awards will be eligible to continue vesting following the twelve-month anniversary of the Separation Date (regardless of
whether you continue to provide services to the Company or any of its affiliates), and any equity awards that are outstanding and unvested as of such date shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled in their entirety without any payment to you). For avoidance of doubt, provided you satisfy the Payment Conditions, the Company may not terminate the Consulting Period before the 12 month anniversary of the Separation Date unless you materially breach your obligations to the Company under this Agreement or engage in conduct that constitutes Cause under your Employment Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that your relationship with the Company as it relates to the Consulting Services will be that of an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or should be construed to, create a partnership, agency, joint venture or employment relationship between the Company and any of your employees or agents. You will not be entitled in connection with the Consulting Services to any of the benefits that the Company may make available to its employees, including, but not limited to, group health or life insurance, profit-sharing or retirement benefits. You are solely responsible for, and will file, on a timely basis, all tax returns and payments required to be filed with, or made to, any federal, state or local tax authority with respect to the Consulting Services hereunder and receipt of compensation under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the continued vesting of your equity awards (or any portion thereof). You are solely responsible for, and must maintain adequate records of, expenses incurred in the course of performing services under this Agreement

7.YOU ARE RELEASING AND WAIVING CLAIMS
While it is very important that you read this entire Agreement carefully, it is especially important that you read this Section carefully, because it lists important rights you are giving up if you decide to enter into this Agreement.
What Are You Giving Up? It is the Company’s position that you have no legitimate basis for bringing a legal action against it. You may agree or believe otherwise or simply not know. However, if you Execute this Agreement, you will, except for certain exceptions described in Section 11 (including your Protected Rights), give up your ability to bring a legal action against the Company and others, including, but not limited to its affiliates. More specifically, by Executing this Agreement, you will give up any right you may have to bring various types of “Claims,” which means possible lawsuits, claims, demands and causes of action of any kind (based on any legal or equitable theory, whether contractual, common-law, statutory, federal, state, local or otherwise), whether known or unknown, by reason of any act or omission up to and including the date on which you Execute this Agreement. You are also giving up potential Claims arising under any contract or implied contract, including but not limited to your Employment Agreement or any handbook, tort law or public policy having any bearing on your employment or the termination of your employment, such as Claims for wrongful discharge, discrimination, hostile work environment, breach of contract, tortious interference, harassment, bullying, infliction of emotional distress, defamation, back pay, vacation pay, sick pay, wage, commission or bonus payment, equity grants, stock options, restricted stock option payments, payments under any bonus or incentive plan, attorneys’ fees, costs and future wage loss. This Agreement includes a release of your right to assert a Claim of discrimination on the basis of age, sex, race, religion, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, ancestry, parental status, handicap, disability, military status, veteran status, harassment, retaliation, attainment of benefit plan rights or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal, state or local laws. However, as described in Section 11, this Agreement does not and cannot prevent you from asserting your right to bring a claim against the Company and the other Releasees, as defined below, before any Governmental Agencies (as defined herein). Whose Possible Claims Are You Giving Up? You are waiving Claims that you may otherwise be able to bring. You are not only agreeing that you will not personally
bring these Claims in the future, but that no one else will bring them in your place, such as your heirs and executors, and your dependents, legal representatives and assigns.
Together, you and these groups of individuals are referred to in the Agreement as “Releasors.”
Who Are You Releasing From Possible Claims? You are not only waiving Claims that you and the Releasors may otherwise be able to bring against the Company, but also Claims that could be brought against “Releasees,” which means the Company and all of their past, present and future:
•shareholders
•officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents
•subsidiaries, divisions and affiliated and related entities
•employee benefit and pension plans or funds
•successors and assigns
•trustees, fiduciaries and administrators
Possible Claims You May Not Know. It is possible that you may have a Claim that you do not know exists. By entering into this Agreement, subject to your Protected Rights (as described in Section 11 below), you are giving up all Claims that you ever had including Claims arising out of your employment or the termination of your employment. Even if Claims exist that you do not know about, you are giving them up.
What Types of Claims Are You Giving Up? In exchange for the pay and benefits in Section 3, you (on behalf of yourself and the Releasors) forever release and discharge the Company and all of the other Releasees from any and all Claims including Claims arising under the following laws (including amendments to these laws): Federal Laws, such as:

You Are Giving Up Potential Remedies and Relief. You are waiving any relief
that may be available to you (such as money damages, equity grants, benefits, attorneys’ fees, and equitable relief such as reinstatement) under any of the waived Claims, except as provided in Section 11 (including your Protected Rights). This Release Is Extremely Broad. This release is meant to be as broad as legally permissible and applies to both employment-related and non-employment-related Claims up to the time that you execute this Agreement. This release includes a waiver of jury trials and non-jury trials. This Agreement does not release or waive Claims or rights that, as a matter of law, cannot be waived, which include, but are not necessarily limited to, the exceptions to your release of claims or covenant not to sue referenced in Section 11 (including your Protected Rights). 8.YOU ARE AGREEING NOT TO SUE
Except as provided in Section 11 (including with respect to your Protected Rights), you agree not to sue or otherwise bring any legal action against the Company or any of the other Releasees ever for any Claim released in Section 67 arising before you Execute this Agreement. You are not only waiving any right you may have to proceed individually, but also as a member of a class or collective action. You waive any and all rights you may have had to receive notice of any class or collective action against Releases for claims arising before you Execute this Agreement. In the event that you receive notice of a class or collective action against Releasees for claims arising before you Execute this Agreement, you must “opt out” of and may not “opt in” to such action. You are also giving up any right you may have to recover any relief, including money damages, from the Releasees as a member of a class or collective action. 9.Representations Under The FMLA (leave law) And FLSA (wage and hour law).
Subject to your Protected Rights (as described in Section 11 below), you represent that you are not aware of any facts that might justify a Claim by you against the Company for any violation of the Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”). You also represent that you have received all wages for all work you performed and any commissions, bonuses, stock options, restricted stock option payments, overtime compensation and FMLA leave to which you may have been entitled, and that subject to your Protected Rights (as described in Section 11 below), you are not aware of any facts constituting a violation by the Company or the other Releasees of any violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other federal, state or municipal laws.
10.You Have Not Already Filed An Action.
Subject to your Protected Rights (as described in Section 11 below), you represent that you have not sued or otherwise filed any actions (or participated in any actions) of any kind against the Company or the other Releasees in any court or before any administrative or investigative body or agency. The Company is relying on this assurance in entering into this Agreement.
11.Exceptions To Your Release Of Claims And Covenant Not To Sue
Excluded Claims
In Sections 7 and 8, you are releasing Claims and agreeing not to sue, but there are exceptions to those commitments. Specifically, nothing in this Agreement prevents you from bringing a legal action or otherwise taking steps to: •Enforce the terms of this Agreement; or
•Challenge the validity of this Agreement; or
•Make any disclosure of information required by law; or
•Provide information to, testify before or otherwise assist in any investigation or proceeding brought by, any regulatory or law enforcement agency or legislative body, any self-regulatory organization, or the Company; or
•Provide truthful testimony in any forum; or
•Cooperate fully and provide information as requested in any investigation by a governmental agency or commission; or
•File a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agencies”); or
•File a lawsuit or other action to pursue Claims that arise after you Execute this Agreement.
Your Protected Rights
Nothing in this Agreement or otherwise limits your ability to communicate directly with and provide information, including documents, not otherwise protected from disclosure by any applicable law or privilege to any Government Agency or self- regulatory organization regarding possible legal violations, without disclosure to the Company. You do not need the prior authorization of the Company to make any such reports or disclosures, and you shall not be required to notify the Company that such reports or disclosures have been made. The Company may not retaliate against you for any of these activities, and nothing in this Agreement or otherwise requires you to waive
any monetary award or other relief that you might become entitled to from the SEC, DOJ, EEOC or any other Government Agency or self-regulatory organization except as set forth above. In addition, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, you acknowledge and understand that you will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of the trade secrets of the Company or any of its affiliates that is made by you (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (ii) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.
Your rights described in the above two paragraphs are collectively referred to as your “Protected Rights”.
For purposes of clarity, this Agreement does not limit your ability to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company. This Agreement does not limit your right to receive an award for information provided to any Government Agencies.
12.Your Continuing Obligations.
You acknowledge and re-affirm your continuing obligations pursuant to the Employment Agreement and the NDIA executed between you and the Company, including your confidentiality obligations under Section 2 of the NDIA and any restrictions under Sections 4 and 5 of the NDIA, the terms of which are incorporated by reference and made part of this Agreement.

Nothing in this Agreement should be read to prevent you from exercising your rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act, including by communicating with coworkers, former coworkers, and others, including third parties, regarding the terms and conditions of your employment with the Company, or from engaging in conduct expressly permitted by Section 14.
13.Return Of Property.

You acknowledge that, prior to the termination of your employment with the Company, you disclosed to the Company, in accordance with applicable policies and procedures, any and all information relevant to any investigation of the Company’s
business practices conducted by any governmental agency or to any existing, threatened or anticipated litigation involving the Company, whether administrative, civil or criminal in nature, and that you are otherwise unaware of any wrongdoing committed by any current or former employee of the Company that has not been disclosed. Nothing in this Agreement shall interfere with your Protected Rights or otherwise prohibit or restrict you or the Company from (1) making any disclosure of information required by law; (2) providing information to, or testifying or otherwise assisting in any investigation or proceeding brought by any federal or state regulatory or law enforcement agency or legislative body, any self-regulatory organization, or with respect to any internal investigation by the Company or its affiliates; or (3) testifying, participating in or otherwise assisting in a proceeding relating to an alleged violation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, any federal, state or municipal law relating to fraud, or any rule or regulation of any self- regulatory organization.
15.Non-Disparagement
Subject to your Protected Rights, you agree that you will not, through any medium including, but not limited to, the press, Internet or any other form of communication, disparage, defame, or otherwise damage or assail the reputation, integrity or professionalism of the Company or the Releasees. Nothing in this Section 15 is intended to restrict or impede your participation in proceedings or investigations brought by or before the EEOC, NLRB, or other federal, state or local government agencies, or otherwise exercising protected rights to the extent that such rights cannot be waived by agreement, including Section 7 rights under the National Labor Relations Act. 16.Cooperation.
You agree to cooperate with the Company and all of the Releasees after the Separation Date by (a) at the Company’s or a Releasee’s request, meeting with the Company’s or a Releasee’s representatives, counsel, or other designees at mutually convenient times and places with respect to any items within the scope of this provision; (b) providing truthful testimony regarding matters within your knowledge or responsibility to any court, agency, or other adjudicatory body; and (c) providing the Company with notice of contact by any non-governmental adverse party or such adverse party’s representative, except as may be required by law.

interviews and factual investigations, appearing at the Company’ request to give testimony without requiring service of a subpoena or other legal process volunteering to the Company all pertinent information and turning over to the Company all relevant documents which are or may come into your possession, all at times and on schedules that are reasonably consistent with your other permitted activities and commitments).
The Company will reimburse you for reasonable, out-of-pocket travel, lodging and meal expenses incurred in connection with your performance of obligations pursuant to this Section 16 for which you have obtained prior written approval from the Company.
17.The Company’s Remedies For Breach.
If you breach any section of this Agreement, including without limitation, Section 7, 8, 12 or 15 or otherwise seek to bring a Claim given up under this Agreement, the Company will be entitled to all relief legally available to it including equitable relief such as injunctions, and the Company will not be required to post a bond. You further acknowledge that if you breach any section of this Agreement, you will automatically forfeit your right to receive any of the benefits enumerated in Section 3 of this Agreement. You further acknowledge and understand that if the Company should discover any such Violation(s) as described in Section 6 after your execution of this Agreement and/or your separation from employment with the Company, it will be considered a material breach of this Agreement, and all of the Company’s obligations to you hereunder will become immediately null and void. 18.Taxes.
Any payments made or benefits provided to you under this Agreement shall be reduced by any applicable withholding taxes or other amounts required to be withheld by law or contract. The Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall make all determinations as to whether it is obligated to withhold any taxes hereunder and the amount hereof.
It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement comply with or are exempt from Section 409A and Section 457A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (together with the regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, “Section 409A” and “Section 457A”, respectively), and all provisions of this Agreement will be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent. In no event shall the Company or any of its affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on you by Section 409A or Section 457A. For purposes of Section 409A, each right to a payment hereunder will be deemed a “separate payment” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(b)(iii). With respect to the timing of payments of any deferred compensation payable upon a termination of employment hereunder, references in this Agreement to “termination of employment” (and substantially similar phrases) mean “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. For the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that any expense
reimbursement made to you hereunder is exempt from Section 409A; however, if any expense reimbursement hereunder is determined to be deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A, then (i) the amount of the expense reimbursement during one taxable year will not affect the amount of the expense reimbursement during any other taxable year, (ii) the expense reimbursement will be made on or before the last day of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred, and (iii) the right to expense reimbursement hereunder will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. To the extent that you are a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A as of the date of Executive’s separation from service (as determined by the Company), no amounts payable under this Agreement that constitute “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A that are payable on account of your separation from service shall be paid to you until the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such separation from service (or, if earlier, the date of your death following such separation from service). Upon the first business day following the expiration of such delay period, all such amounts deferred pursuant to the preceding sentence will be paid to you (without interest).
19.Governing Law.
This Agreement is governed by New York law, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.
20.Successors And Assigns.
This Agreement is binding on the Parties and their heirs, executors, successors and assigns.
21.Severability And Construction.
If a court or agency with jurisdiction to consider this Agreement determines that any provision is illegal, void or unenforceable, that provision will be invalid. However, the rest of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect. A court with jurisdiction to consider this Agreement may modify invalid provisions if necessary to achieve the intent of the Parties.
22.No Admission.
By entering into this Agreement, neither you nor the Company admits wrongdoing of any kind.
23.Do Not Rely On Verbal Statements.
•This Agreement sets forth the complete understanding between the Parties.
•This Agreement may not be changed orally.
•This Agreement constitutes and contains the complete understanding of the Parties with regard to the end of your employment, and supersedes and replaces all prior oral and written agreements and promises between the
Parties, except that, as set forth in Section 6, your restrictive covenant obligations remain in full force and effect. •Neither the Company nor any representative (nor any representative of any other company affiliated with the Company), has made any promises to you other than as written in this Agreement. All future promises and agreements must be in writing and signed by both Parties.
