The Missling Amendment amends the Employment Agreement by and between the Company and Dr. Missling, dated June 27, 2013, as most recently amended by the Third Amendment to Employment Agreement dated April 7, 2022 (as amended, the “Missling Employment Agreement”).
The Missling Amendment is made to extend the term of the Missling Employment Agreement through July 5, 2028, unless earlier terminated as provided in the Missling Amendment. Pursuant to the terms of the Missling Amendment, beginning July 5, 2025, Dr. Missling shall receive an annual base salary of $800,000 and is eligible to earn an annual cash target bonus for each whole or partial calendar year of twenty percent of his base salary and an annual equity grant in an amount to be determined by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors.
Additionally, effective July 3, 2025, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to Employment Agreement (the “Boenisch Amendment”) with Sandra Boenisch, in her continuing capacity as Principal Financial Officer of the Company. The Boenisch Amendment amends the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement by and between the Company and the PFO dated October 4, 2017, as most recently amended by the Second Amendment to Employment Agreement dated February 28, 2022 (as amended, the “Boenisch Employment Agreement”).
The Boenisch Amendment provides that the term of the Boenisch Employment Agreement shall continue indefinitely, unless terminated as provided in the Boenisch Amendment. Pursuant to the terms of the Boenisch Amendment, Ms. Boenisch shall receive an annual base salary of $279,840 Canadian Dollars and is eligible to earn an annual cash target bonus for each calendar year of twenty percent of her base salary. The Boenisch Amendment also amended the termination provisions of the Boenisch Employment Agreement, including to increase the amount of severance owed to Ms. Boenisch if she is terminated without cause from six (6) months to twelve (12) months of her base salary, and provides for additional employment related benefits for Ms. Boenisch.
The summary of the Missling Amendment and the Boenisch Amendment provided herein is qualified in their entirety by the terms of such agreement, which are fully set forth and attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and which are incorporated by reference herein.

RECITALS
WHEREAS, Executive currently is employed by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend the Employment Agreement as described below, but to otherwise maintain in effect in full all other terms of the Employment Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
AMENDMENT
| 1. | ADOPTION OF RECITALS. The Parties adopt the above recitals as being true and correct, and they are incorporated herein as material parts of this Amendment. |

| 1. | Term. The term of your employment hereunder shall commence on July 5th, 2025 (the “Start Date”) and shall end on the earliest of (i) July 5th, 2028, (ii) the date on which your employment is terminated by Company or you pursuant to Paragraph 10 or (iii) the date of your death or the date of termination of your employment by reason of incapacity (determined in accordance with Paragraph 8) (the “Employment Term”). The period from the Start Date until July 5th, 2028, regardless of any earlier termination, shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Original Employment Term”. |
| 3. | SECTION 3. The Parties agree that Section 3 of the Employment Agreement shall be amended and restated as follows: |

(v) Long-Term Compensation. If Anavex Life Sciences Corp. (“Parent”) is subject to a Change in Control (as defined below), then 100% of any remaining unvested shares subject to an option granted to Employee will become immediately vested and exercisable except to the extent such options are assumed, converted or substituted by the surviving or acquiring entity (as determined in accordance with the Anavex Life Sciences Corp. 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”)). Such options and any shares received upon exercise of the options shall otherwise remain subject to the terms and conditions of the 2022 Plan and the applicable award agreement entered into thereunder. “Change in Control” means the consummation of any of the following events:

(vi) Nothing paid to Employee under any of Company Plans or fringe benefit arrangements shall be deemed to be in lieu of Base Salary payable to Employee hereunder.
(vii) Recovery of Incentive Compensation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Employee agrees that incentive compensation payable to Employee under this Agreement or otherwise shall be subject to any clawback policy adopted or implemented by Company in respect to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and such regulations and listing standards as are promulgated thereunder from time to time, or in respect to any other applicable law, regulation, listing standard, or Company policy.
(viii) Discretionary Bonus. During the Employment Period, Employee may, at the sole and absolute discretion of the Board of Directors (with suggestions from the Compensation Committee), be eligible to receive an annual discretionary bonus of up to twenty percent (20%) of Employee’s Base Salary, subject to any applicable tax and payroll deductions and subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof (governing Terminations). Any such bonus is not guaranteed, and Employee’s eligibility will be determined based on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the Company’s overall performance during any given year, the Employee’s individual job performance during any given year, and/or other relevant business considerations as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. The amount, timing, and conditions of any bonus payment shall be determined by the Company and may be modified or withheld at any time. Receipt of a bonus in any year does not guarantee or imply entitlement to a bonus in any subsequent year. To be eligible to receive any bonus, Employee must be actively employed by the Company and in good standing on the date the bonus is paid.
4. SECTION 4. The Parties agree that Section 4 of the Employment Agreement shall be amended and restated as follows:
| 4. | Termination. |
(a) Termination for Cause. Company may terminate this Agreement and Employee’s employment for cause by providing a Notice of Termination to Employee with an immediate Date of Termination in accordance with Section 4(d)(i) below.

In the event that Employee’s employment is terminated pursuant to Subsection 4(a), then Company shall pay to Employee an amount equal to the Base Salary, vacation pay, and any other accrued unpaid compensation fully earned by and payable to Employee up to the Date of Termination. Employee shall have no entitlement to any further notice of termination, payment in lieu of notice of termination, severance or termination pay, benefits, or any damages whatsoever, except as may be required by the ESA.

Any outstanding stock option or other stock awards held by Employee as of the Date of Termination shall be subject to the terms of the applicable plan documents.
(ii) Termination by Company without Cause. In the event that Employee’s employment is terminated pursuant to Subsection 4(b), then the following shall apply:
(1) Company shall pay to Employee an amount equal to the Base Salary, vacation pay, and any other accrued unpaid compensation fully earned by and payable to Employee up to the Date of Termination; and Company shall provide to Employee the greatest of: (a) the minimum notice of termination, or payment in lieu of notice of termination, and other minimum entitlements required by the ESA; or (b) 30 days’ notice of termination, or Base Salary in lieu thereof, and twelve (12) months of Base Salary as severance. Provided, however, that this Section 4(d)(ii) will be subject to any requirement under the ESA to pay to Employee the portion of such payments that constitutes Employee’s minimum entitlements in a lump sum within the prescribed time period under the ESA.
(2) Further, any outstanding stock option or other stock awards vesting in the contract year of Termination held by Employee as of the Date of Termination shall immediately vest and become exercisable.
(3) Payments to Employee, assuming such payments exceed Employee’s minimum entitlements pursuant to ESA, will be dependent upon Employee signing a full and final release, acknowledging that the payment is inclusive of, and satisfies all of Employee’s entitlements pursuant to applicable legislation, contract, common law and equity, and will release Company (including all current and former parent, subsidiary, related, and affiliated corporations and divisions, and all of its and their current and former officers, directors, agents, employees, successors, and assigns) from any and all actions, causes of actions, proceedings, claims, demands, or complaints, including, without limitation, any claims in respect of Employee’s hiring by, employment with, and termination of employment with Company, and any human rights claims. However, and in any event, Employee shall not be provided with less than Employee’s minimum entitlements pursuant to the ESA. Accordingly, if Employee refuses to sign a full and final release, Employee will be entitled to only such minimum notice of termination, or payment in lieu of notice of termination, and other minimum entitlements required by the ESA.

(iv) Employee’s Duties During Notice and Return Company Property. Prior to the Termination Date, Employee shall (i) assist with the transition of Employee’s duties to ensure that all Company financial commitments are properly addressed; and (ii) surrender to Company or as Company may direct, all property, books, and records of Company then in the custody, possession, or control of Employee, and as further described in Section 7 of this Agreement.

For purposes of this Agreement, a Notice of Termination shall mean a notice, in writing, which shall indicate the specific termination provision of this Agreement relied upon as the basis for the Termination and the Date of Termination. The Date of Termination shall not be earlier than the date such Notice of Termination is delivered (as defined above); provided however, that Company, at its option, may elect to have Employee not report to work after the date of the written notice.
(f) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” means the date on which this Agreement shall terminate in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.
5. SECTION 15. The Parties agree that Section 15 of the Employment Agreement shall be amended and restated as follows:
