ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Our ordinary shares have traded on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “TBPH” since June 3, 2014. As of February 26, 2025, there were 39 shareholders of record of our ordinary shares. As many of our ordinary shares are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of shareholders, we are unable to estimate the total number of underlying shareholders represented by these shareholders of record.

Dividend Policy

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our ordinary shares. We currently intend to retain future earnings to finance our ongoing operations. We have committed to return excess capital to shareholders. Our board of directors will determine the form of any future return of excess capital to shareholders.

Equity Compensation Plans

The following table provides certain information with respect to all of our equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2024:

During 2024, we had three equity compensation plans — our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 EIP”), as amended, our 2013 Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “2013 ESPP”), and our 2014 New Employee Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 NEEIP”). At inception of the plans, we were authorized to issue 5,428,571 ordinary shares under the 2013 EIP and 857,142 ordinary shares under the 2013 ESPP, and 750,000 ordinary shares under the 2014 NEEIP.

The 2013 EIP provides for the issuance of share-based awards, including restricted shares, restricted share units, options, share appreciation rights (“SARs”) and other equity-based awards, to our employees, officers, directors, and consultants. Options may be granted with an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the ordinary shares on the grant date. Under the terms of our 2013 EIP, options granted to employees generally have a maximum term of 10 years and vest over a four-year period from the date of grant; 25% vest at the end of one year, and 75% vest monthly over the remaining three years. We may grant options with different vesting terms from time to time. Unless an employee’s termination of service is due to disability or death, upon termination of service, any unexercised vested options will generally be forfeited at the end of three months or the expiration of the option, whichever is earlier.

At the our Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on May 2, 2023, shareholders approved an amendment and restatement of the 2013 EIP to effect the following material changes to the existing plan (i) extend the term of the 2013 EIP by an additional ten years to February 14, 2033; (ii) eliminate the provision that provided for automatic annual

increases in the number of shares available for issuance under the 2013 EIP; (iii) reduce the number of shares reserved for issuance by 3,808,287 shares; (iv) eliminate our ability to reprice options and share appreciation rights without first obtaining shareholder approval; and (v) remove certain provisions no longer necessary since the repeal of the exemption from the annual deduction limitation imposed by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code for performance-based compensation.

Under the 2013 ESPP, our officers and employees may purchase ordinary shares through payroll deductions at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the ordinary share at the beginning of the offering period or at the end of each applicable purchase period. The 2013 ESPP generally provides for consecutive and overlapping offering periods of 24 months in duration, with each offering period generally composed of four consecutive six-month purchase periods. The purchase periods end on either May 15 or November 15. 2013 ESPP contributions are limited to a maximum of 15% of an employee’s eligible compensation. Our 2013 ESPP also includes a feature that provides for the existing offering period to terminate and for participants in that offering period to automatically be enrolled in a new offering period when the fair market value of an ordinary share at the beginning of a subsequent offering period falls below the fair market value of an ordinary share on the first day of such offering period. Effective as of December 31, 2024, the 2013 ESPP has been suspended. All offering periods in progress were terminated, and no new offering periods will commence under the 2013 ESPP unless and until approved by our board of directors.

The 2014 NEEIP provided for the issuance of share-based awards, including restricted shares, restricted share units, non-qualified options and SARs, to our employees. Options were able to be granted with an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the ordinary shares on the grant date. Under the terms of our 2014 NEEIP, options granted to employees generally have a maximum term of 10 years and vest over a four-year period from the date of grant; 25% vest at the end of one year, and 75% vest monthly over the remaining three years. We were able to grant options with different vesting terms from time to time. Unless an employee’s termination of service is due to disability or death, upon termination of service, any unexercised vested options will generally be forfeited at the end of three months or the expiration of the option, whichever is earlier. Pursuant to its terms, the 2014 NEEIP expired in October 2024 upon reaching the end of its 10-year term. As a result, no additional shares will be issued under the 2014 NEEIP, though awards previously granted under the 2014 NEEIP will remain outstanding in accordance with their term.
