NewAmsterdam Pharma Co N.V.

We are a Dutch public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) with a single-tier board currently consisting of one executive director and ten non-executive directors. Drs. Topper and Downing were initially designated to serve on the Board of Directors by Frazier Lifesciences and Dr. Davidson, Dr. Kastelein and Dr. Lange were initially designated by NewAmsterdam Pharma pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2022 (the “Business Combination Agreement,” and the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”). Our directors do not have a retirement age requirement under the articles of association. Mr. Lewis and Mr. McKenna serve as the Chair and Vice Chair, respectively, of the Board of Directors. The Chair and in his absence, the Vice Chair, is responsible for ensuring there is sufficient contact between the Board of Directors and the executive director, that the Board of Directors has sufficient access to information and sufficient time to deliberate and make decisions, monitoring director performance and otherwise administering the Board of Directors process. There are no family relationships among any of our directors.

Our directors will be (re-)appointed by our shareholders upon a binding nomination by the Board of Directors. The shareholders may overrule a binding nomination by a resolution adopted by a majority of at least two thirds of the votes cast, provided such majority represents more than half of the issued share capital. If our shareholders overrule a binding nomination, the Board of Directors will make a new nomination.

The Dutch Corporate Governance Code provides the following best practice recommendations on the terms for tenure of our directors:

Our shareholders may at any time seek to suspend or dismiss a director at a general meeting of our shareholders. If a proposal to suspend or dismiss a director is properly brought before a general meeting of our shareholders, shareholders may only adopt a resolution to suspend or dismiss a director by a majority of at least two thirds of the votes cast, provided such majority represents more than half of the issued share capital, unless the resolution is adopted at the proposal of the Board of Directors, in which latter case the resolution may be adopted by a simple majority of the votes cast.
