Change in Control and Severance Policy

Amended and Restated Participation Agreement

This Amended and Restated Participation Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between Winston Kung on the one hand, and PMV Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) on the other.

In connection with the Company’s anticipated initial public offering, the Compensation Committee of the Board has reviewed and updated the Policy for you as set forth herein. You will continue to be eligible to receive the following severance payments and benefits upon a Qualified Termination, subject to the terms and conditions of the Policy.

CIC Qualified Termination. Upon your CIC Qualified Termination, you will be entitled to the following benefits, subject to the terms and conditions of the Policy:

 

   

Equity Vesting: 100% of the then-unvested shares subject to each of your then-outstanding equity awards will immediately vest and, in the case of options and stock appreciation rights, will become exercisable (for avoidance of doubt, no more than 100% of the shares subject to the outstanding portion of an equity award may vest and become exercisable under this provision). In the case of equity awards with performance-based vesting, unless otherwise determined by the Company and set forth in your equity award agreement, all performance goals and other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at 100% of target levels.

 

   

Salary Severance: 12 months of your Base Salary, payable in a lump sum on the 61st day following your CIC Qualified Termination.

 

   

Bonus Severance: 100% of your target bonus for the performance year in which your CIC Qualified Termination occurs, payable in a lump sum on the 61st day following your CIC Qualified Termination.

 

   

COBRA Coverage: Payment or reimbursement of the COBRA Coverage or COBRA Benefit, as applicable, for up to 12 months following your CIC Qualified Termination.

Non-CIC Qualified Termination. Upon your Non-CIC Qualified Termination, you will be entitled to the following benefits, subject to the terms and conditions of the Policy:

 

   

Equity Vesting: A number of then-unvested shares subject to each of your then-outstanding equity awards (excluding equity awards with performance-based vesting and excluding any equity awards granted on or after the IPO Date) equal to the number of such shares otherwise scheduled to vest during the 6 month period following the date of your Non-CIC Qualified Termination had you remained employed with the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) through such date will immediately vest and, in the case of options and stock appreciation rights, will become exercisable.

 

   

Salary Severance: 9 months of your Base Salary, payable in a lump sum on the 61st day following your Non-CIC Qualified Termination.

 

   

Bonus Severance: None.

 

   

COBRA Coverage: Payment or reimbursement of the COBRA Coverage or COBRA Benefit, as applicable, for up to 9 months following your Non-CIC Qualified Termination.

In order for the Eligible Employee’s termination of his or her employment to be for Good Reason, you must not terminate employment with the Company without first providing the Company with written notice of the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for “Good Reason” within 90 days of the initial existence of the grounds for “Good Reason” and a cure period of 30 days following the date of written notice (the “Cure Period”), such grounds must not have been cured during such time, and you must terminate your employment within 60 days following the Cure Period.

Other Provisions

You agree that the Policy and the Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto and supersede in their entirety all prior representations, understandings, undertakings or agreements (whether oral or written and whether expressed or implied) of the parties, and will specifically supersede any severance and/or change of control provisions of any offer letter, employment agreement, or equity award agreement entered into between you and the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
