Dear Indivior Shareholder,

Proposed transfer of Indivior's listing category on the Official List from a Premium Listing to a Standard Listing to effect a primary listing in the U.S.

1. Introduction and background

On July 28, 2022, the Indivior Board announced its intention to seek the formal approval of Indivior Shareholders for the additional listing of Indivior Shares on a U.S. stock exchange (the "Additional U.S. Listing"). In the shareholder circular relating to the Additional U.S. Listing published on September 5, 2022, the Indivior Board announced that the Additional U.S. Listing would also provide the Company with the optionality to pursue, as a second step, a primary U.S. listing. The Additional U.S. Listing was approved by Indivior Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company on September 30, 2022, with 99.95% of votes cast in favor. The Additional U.S. Listing became effective on June 12, 2023, and Indivior Shares are currently listed both on the Official List (Premium Listing) in London and on the Nasdaq Stock Market in New York.

Subsequently, on February 22, 2024, the Indivior Board announced its intention to consult with shareholders about the proposed relocation of Indivior's primary listing from the U.K. to the U.S. by way of the proposed transfer of Indivior's listing category on the Official List from a Premium Listing (commercial company) to a Standard Listing (shares) (the "Proposed Transfer").

Having completed its consultation with shareholders the Indivior Board announced on April 25, 2024 that, following careful consideration of the feedback received, it had decided to seek the approval of Indivior Shareholders for the Proposed Transfer. At the same time, the Indivior Board announced that it intends to maintain Indivior's U.K. listing as a secondary listing following the transition of its primary listing to the U.S. for as long as it is considered to be in the best interests of Indivior and Indivior Shareholders as a whole.

6Indivior.com

2. Reasons for U.S. primary listing

As set out in the announcement dated February 22, 2024, the Board believes a primary U.S. listing will be beneficial to Indivior as it would:

  • reflect the Group's current and future growth opportunities for its proprietary treatments (SUBLOCADE, PERSERIS and OPVEE), which are centered in the U.S.;
  • be expected to attract more U.S. investors and analysts by further elevating the Group's leadership profile in addiction treatment in U.S. capital markets;
  • allow for inclusion in major U.S. indices over time; and
  • reflect the growing proportion of the Group's share capital owned by U.S.-based investors, which is currently approaching 50%.

Following the Proposed Transfer, Indivior intends to transition to reporting in U.S. GAAP on the forms applicable to a U.S. domestic issuer for its annual report and quarterly reports commencing January 1, 2025 (regardless of whether or not Indivior has lost its status as a foreign private issuer for U.S. securities laws purposes by then). Accordingly, Indivior intends to release its first annual report on Form 10-K in March 2025 in respect of the financial year ending December 31, 2024, and its first quarterly report on Form 10-Q in May 2025 in respect of the first financial quarter ending March 31, 2025. Reporting on U.S. domestic forms and maintaining a primary U.S. listing are both eligibility requirements for inclusion in important U.S. stock indices, which is a major driver of domestic U.S. fund ownership. The orderly transition to indexation on U.S. indices is an important objective of the Company as the Proposed Transfer is expected to result in Indivior ceasing to be eligible for inclusion in certain U.K. stock indices, including the FTSE 250.

While Indivior expects to become eligible for inclusion in U.S. stock indices in due course following the Proposed Transfer, it is acknowledged that inclusion in these important indices is unlikely to be achieved in the very near term, as it may take some time to demonstrate that the Company has met all the relevant eligibility criteria (including the speed at which the overall balance of trading volume and liquidity migrates to the Nasdaq Stock Market). It is also the case that the providers of certain U.S. indices retain a higher level of discretion around the applicability of eligibility criteria and the time at which companies may be admitted to the relevant index. The Indivior Board nonetheless believes that the overall strategic and capital markets advantages of a primary U.S. listing outweigh these short- term considerations.

3. Transfer to a Standard Listing

Under the Listing Rules, the Proposed Transfer requires Indivior to first obtain the prior approval of Indivior Shareholders. Indivior Shareholders will be asked to vote on the Resolution relating to the Proposed Transfer at the General Meeting on Thursday, May 23, 2024. The approval by special resolution of a majority of not less than 75% of the votes attaching to the Indivior Shares voted on the Resolution (whether in person or by proxy) at the General Meeting will be required.

If the Proposed Transfer does not occur because Indivior Shareholders do not vote in favor of the Resolution, then Indivior's Premium Listing will continue and its primary listing location will remain in the U.K.

Pursuant to the Listing Rules, the date of the Proposed Transfer must not be less than 20 U.K. business days after the passing of the Resolution. The Indivior Board proposes to apply promptly for the Proposed Transfer to be effected and so, subject to the passing of the Resolution, it is anticipated that the date of the Proposed Transfer will be Thursday, June 27, 2024. Indivior Shares will, on completion of the Proposed Transfer, continue to be traded on the Main Market, but under the designation "Listed: Standard".

As a company with a Standard Listing, Indivior will remain subject to the Listing Rules (as applicable to a company whose equity shares have a Standard Listing), the Prospectus Rules and the DTRs. However it will not be required to comply with the super-equivalent provisions of the Listing Rules which apply to companies with a Premium Listing (including provisions which provide shareholders of companies with a Premium Listing with rights to vote on significant and related party transactions).

Indivior Notice of General Meeting 2024

Following the Proposed Transfer, the Indivior Board intends to maintain the Standard Listing for as long as it is considered to be in the best interests of Indivior and Indivior Shareholders as a whole.

In December 2023, the FCA published its consultation paper CP23/31 ('Primary Markets Effectiveness Review: Feedback to CP23/10 and detailed proposals for listing rules reforms') setting out a series of proposed reforms to the Listing Rules, including the proposed removal of the current "Premium" and "Standard" listing segments and the introduction of new listing categories in their place (the "Proposed Listing Rules Reforms"). As at the date of publication of this document, the scope and application of the proposed new listing categories is not yet final and, in particular, it is not yet clear which new listing category Indivior will be mapped to following implementation of the Proposed Transfer. However, taking into account the proposed approach to existing Standard listed issuers under the Proposed Listing Rules Reforms, Indivior currently expects that the overall burden of compliance for it under the New Listing Rules will be substantially equivalent to that of the current Standard Listing category. The final New Listing Rules are currently expected to be implemented early in the second half of 2024 and the Indivior Board will update Indivior Shareholders by way of announcement through a Regulatory Information Service once it is clear which new listing category Indivior will be mapped to under the new rules.

The Indivior Board has not made, and does not anticipate or intend to make, any changes to the operation of Indivior's business in connection with the Proposed Transfer.

Furthermore, the Proposed Transfer will not affect the way in which Indivior Shareholders have held, bought or sold Indivior Shares since the implementation of the Additional U.S. Listing.

A more detailed summary of the differences between the regulatory requirements of companies with a Standard Listing and those with a Premium Listing is contained at Part II (A summary of the difference between Standard and Premium categories of listing) of this document.

4. Corporate governance following the Proposed Transfer

As a company with a Standard Listing (and, following implementation of the Proposed Listing Rules Reforms, a company that Indivior expects will be subject to continuing obligations that are substantially equivalent to those that currently apply to a company with a Standard Listing), Indivior will no longer be required to comply (or explain non-compliance) with the U.K. Corporate Governance Code, although it will still be required to make a corporate governance statement under paragraph

7.2 of the DTRs and will be subject to those requirements of the FCA which are applicable to its new category of listing. Against this background, Indivior expects to adjust its corporate governance arrangements over time so as to align with those typically adopted by U.S. domestic issuers of a similar size and nature. As a U.K. company, Indivior will remain subject to the Takeover Code and English company law.

In addition, the governance rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market and U.S. securities laws have applied to Indivior since the effectiveness of the Additional U.S. Listing in June 2023, although as a foreign private issuer for U.S. securities laws purposes, Indivior is permitted to follow certain home country corporate governance practices. These rules and regulations include, inter alia, requirements with respect to director independence, standards for audit, nomination and remuneration board committees, board approval of related person transactions and shareholder approval of certain share issuances. As set out above, following the Proposed Transfer, Indivior intends to transition to reporting in U.S. GAAP commencing January 1, 2025.

8Indivior.com

5. Action to be taken

As outlined above, the Proposed Transfer is conditional on the approval of Indivior Shareholders. This will be sought at the General Meeting to be held at 12.00p.m. (U.K. time) on Thursday, May 23, 2024 at the offices of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, 100 Bishopsgate, London EC2P 2SR, United Kingdom. A notice convening the General Meeting at which the Resolution will be proposed is set out on page 14 of this document.

Please note that attendance and voting procedures differ depending on how you hold your Indivior Shares. Specific instructions are set out in the notes to the Notice of General Meeting on the following pages:

  • Direct shareholdings, see page 16
  • U.K. Depositary Interests in CREST (other than via the Indivior PLC Corporate Sponsored Nominee Facility), see page 19
  • U.K. Depositary Interests in CREST via the Indivior PLC Corporate Sponsored Nominee Facility, see page 21
  • Other beneficial owners, see page 22

6. Recommendation

In the Indivior Board's opinion, the Proposed Transfer is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole and is most likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Indivior Board unanimously recommends that all Indivior Shareholders vote in favor of the Resolution at the General Meeting, as the Directors intend to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings of Indivior Shares.

Yours faithfully,

Graham Hetherington

PART II

A SUMMARY OF THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN STANDARD AND PREMIUM CATEGORIES OF LISTING

The following paragraphs set out the key differences between Standard and Premium categories of Listing.

  1. Companies with a Standard Listing are not eligible for inclusion in the U.K. series of FTSE indices.
  2. Companies with a Standard Listing are not required to retain a sponsor for certain transactions.
  3. Companies with a Standard Listing are not required to comply with the additional six Premium Listing Principles contained in Listing Rule 7.2.1A, which only apply to companies with a Premium Listing.
  4. Companies with a Standard Listing are not required to: (i) control the majority of their assets and to have done so for the last three years; and (ii) carry on an independent business as their main activity.
  5. A Standard Listing does not require a company to offer pre-emption rights pursuant to the Listing Rules. However, Indivior Shareholders will continue to benefit from pre-emption rights following the Proposed Transfer as a result of the continued application of English company law.
  6. A Standard Listing does not require a company to comply with the provisions of Listing Rule 10 which sets out requirements for shareholders to be notified of certain transactions and to have the opportunity to vote on proposed significant transactions.
  7. A Standard Listing does not require a company to comply with Listing Rule 11 which contains rules intended to prevent a related party from taking advantage of its position in respect of transactions with the listed company.
  8. Companies with a Standard Listing are not required to comply with Listing Rule 12 which applies to companies dealing in their own securities; however, any dealings in such companies' securities will continue to be subject to other general restrictions including those contained in the U.K. Market Abuse Regulation.
  9. The U.K. Corporate Governance Code does not apply to companies with a Standard Listing. However, pursuant to paragraph 7.2 of the DTRs, companies with a Standard Listing are still required to make a corporate governance statement in the directors' report which references the corporate governance code to which the company is subject, a description of the main features of the company's internal control and risk management systems in relation to the financial reporting process, information about its share capital and a description of the composition and operation of its committees.
  10. A company with a Standard Listing is not required to comply with the more extensive requirements relating to the content of circulars issued to shareholders of companies with a Premium Listing as detailed in Chapter 13 of the Listing Rules.
  11. A company with a Standard Listing is not required to comply with a number of miscellaneous continuing obligations imposed by Chapter 9 of the Listing Rules on companies with a Premium Listing.
  12. Companies with a Standard Listing are not required to obtain the approval of shareholders for the cancellation of the listing.

Taking into account the proposed approach to existing Standard listed issuers under the Proposed Listing Rules Reforms, Indivior currently expects that the overall burden of compliance for it under the New Listing Rules will be substantially equivalent to that of the current Standard Listing category.
