Management Change/Compensation (Form 8-K)

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On February 23, 2026, ST Shared Services LLC, a subsidiary of Keenova Therapeutics plc (the "Company"), entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the "Employment Agreement") with Sigurdur (Siggi) Olafsson. The Employment Agreement supersedes Mr. Olafsson's prior employment agreement with ST Shared Services LLC ("Prior Agreement"), which was disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 7, 2025 (the "Prior Form 8-K"). The Prior Agreement provided that during the first half of 2026 Mr. Olafsson and the Company would discuss in good faith entering into a longer-term employment agreement. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Olafsson will remain in his role as Chief Executive Officer of ST Shared Services LLC and the Company until January 1, 2028 (the "Expiration Date"), and will be appointed as Chair of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") not later than May 14, 2026, provided that if a successor Chief Executive Officer is appointed prior to the Expiration Date, Mr. Olafsson's role will transition to Executive Chair of the Board ("Executive Chair"). If ST Shared Services LLC and Mr. Olafsson do not mutually agree to extend the term of Mr. Olafsson's employment prior to the Expiration Date, Mr. Olafsson's service as Chief Executive Officer, Chair and/or Executive Chair, as applicable, of the Company shall automatically terminate on the Expiration Date, which termination shall constitute a termination by the Executive with Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement).

The Employment Agreement provides for the following compensatory arrangements for Mr. Olafsson, in addition to the inducement awards provided for in the Prior Agreement and disclosed in the Prior Form 8-K:

· Cash Compensation. Mr. Olafsson will be entitled to an annual base salary of $1,200,000 (which would be reduced by 20% in the event that a successor Chief Executive Officer is hired prior to January 1, 2028 and Mr. Olafsson transitions to Executive Chair). Additionally, Mr. Olafsson's annual cash bonus target and maximum cash bonus will be 200% and 400% of his annual base salary, respectively. The actual bonus earned by Mr. Olafsson in respect of any given year, if any, will be based on performance metrics to be determined by the Board or its delegate, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Company, in its sole discretion, after consultation with Mr. Olafsson. For any year in which Mr. Olafsson transitions to Executive Chair, Mr. Olafsson will be entitled to receive an annual bonus (i) determined for the portion of the year prior to the transition on a pro-rata basis using the base salary that was in effect for that period and (ii) determined for the portion of the year following the transition on a pro-rata basis using the base salary that was in effect for the period following the transition, provided that the calculation of the bonus for any period when Mr. Olafsson is serving as Executive Chair will be prorated using a level of performance that is not less than target.
· Annual Long-Term Incentive Awards. Beginning in the 2026 fiscal year, Mr. Olafsson will receive annual long-term incentive compensation grants, which in 2026 will be for awards of, in the aggregate, 152,722 restricted share units ("RSUs") and performance restricted units ("PSUs") and beginning in 2027 will have a grant date fair market value of no less than $11,500,000 (the "Annual LTI Awards"). The terms and conditions applicable to the Annual LTI Awards will be substantially consistent with the terms and conditions applicable to RSUs and PSUs (other than performance metrics) previously issued to Mr. Olafsson.
· Founders Grant. As part of one-time equity grants expected to be made to the Executive Team of the Company (such awards, "Founders Grants"), Mr. Olafsson will receive a Founders Grant in the form of RSUs, which will be in an amount no less than 2.3 times the number of RSUs granted to the individual who receives the second largest Founders Grant. The RSUs will vest ratably on each of the first through third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to his continued service through such date. The terms and conditions of such Founders Grant will be substantially consistent with the terms and conditions applicable to RSUs previously issued to Mr. Olafsson.
