QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THESE PROXY MATERIALS AND VOTING
Why did I receive a notice regarding the availability of proxy materials on the Internet?
Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the Internet. Accordingly, we have sent you a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) because the Board of Directors of Roivant Sciences Ltd. (“Roivant,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is soliciting your proxy to vote at the 2023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”), including at any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting. All shareholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice or request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. You may find instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet or to request a printed copy in the Notice.
We intend to mail the Notice on or about July 31, 2023, to all shareholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
Will I receive any other proxy materials by mail?
We may send you a proxy card, along with a full set of materials, on or after August 1, 2023.
Where and when will the Annual Meeting be held?
The Annual Meeting will be on Tuesday, September 12, 2023, at 10:30 a.m. United Kingdom local time, at the Royal Lancaster London Hotel, Lancaster Terrace, London W2 2TY, United Kingdom. Information on how to vote in person at the Annual Meeting is discussed below.
Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?
Our Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on Monday, July 17, 2023 as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting, or at any adjournment of the Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”). Only shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 768,357,739 common shares outstanding and entitled to vote.
Shareholder of Record: Common Shares Registered in Your Name
If, on Monday, July 17, 2023, your common shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, then you are a shareholder of record. As a shareholder of record, you may vote by proxy as specified in the proxy materials or you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy over the Internet or by telephone, or vote by proxy by using a proxy card that you may request or that we may elect to deliver to you at a later time, to ensure your vote is counted.
Beneficial Owner: Common Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Bank, or Agent
If, on Monday, July 17, 2023, your common shares were held not in your name, but rather in an account at your broker, bank or other agent, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and the Notice is being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered to be the shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank, or other agent regarding how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote your common shares in person at the meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank, or other agent.
