Pursuant to the COMPASS Pathways plc 2020 Share Option and Incentive Plan, as amended through the date hereof (the “Plan”), COMPASS Pathways plc (the “Company”) hereby grants an award of the number of Restricted Share Units listed above (an “Award”) to the Grantee named above. Each Restricted Share Unit shall relate to one Share.

1.Restrictions on Transfer of Award. This Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Grantee, and any Shares issuable with respect to the Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until (i) the Restricted Share Units have vested as provided in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement and (ii) Shares have been issued to the Grantee in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.

2.Vesting of Restricted Share Units. The restrictions and conditions of Paragraph 1 of this Agreement shall lapse on the specified dates in the following schedule (each, a “Vesting Date”) so long as the Grantee remains an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary on such Vesting Date(s): in four equal annual installments commencing with the one-year anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date.

The Administrator may at any time accelerate the vesting schedule specified in this Paragraph 2.

3.Termination of Employment. If the Grantee’s employment terminates for any reason (including death or disability) prior to a Vesting Date set forth in Paragraph 2 above, any Restricted Share Units that have not vested as of such date shall automatically and without notice terminate and be forfeited, and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such unvested Restricted Share Units.

4.Issuance of Shares. As soon as practicable following each Vesting Date (but in no event later than two and one-half months after the end of the year in which the Vesting Date occurs), the Company shall issue to the Grantee the number of Shares equal to the aggregate number of Restricted Share Units that have vested pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this Agreement on such date and the Grantee shall thereafter have all the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to such shares.

5.Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan, including the powers of the Administrator set forth in Section 2(b) of the Plan. Capitalized terms in this

Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan, unless a different meaning is specified herein.

6.Tax Withholding. The Grantee shall, not later than the date as of which the receipt of this Award becomes a taxable event for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator for payment of any Federal, state, and local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, (i) to the extent the Grantee is not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act at the time shares of Stock are issued pursuant to this Award, the Company’s required tax withholding obligation shall be satisfied in full by an arrangement whereby (x) the Company shall issue to a broker designated by the Company and acting on behalf of the Grantee a number of Shares sufficient to satisfy the withholding amount due (provided that such amount shall not exceed the maximum statutory amount due) along with any applicable third-party commission with irrevocable instructions to sell such Shares (“Sale-to-Cover”) and (y) the proceeds from such Sale-to-Cover shall be remitted to the Company; provided that in the event the proceeds from the Sale-to-Cover are insufficient to fully satisfy the applicable withholding taxes, the Grantee authorizes withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to the Grantee, in the same calendar year, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision through the submission of cash, a check or its equivalent for any sums required to satisfy the remaining applicable withholding taxes and (ii) to the extent the Grantee is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act at the time Shares are issued pursuant to this Award, the Sale-to-Cover shall not apply and the Company’s required tax withholding obligation shall be satisfied by the Company withholding from Shares to be issued a number of shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the withholding amount due (provided that such amount shall not exceed the maximum statutory amount due). Unless the withholding tax obligations of the Company and/or any Affiliate thereof are satisfied by the Grantee in accordance with this provision, the Company shall have no obligation to issue any Shares on the Grantee’s behalf pursuant to the vesting of this Award.

7.Section 409A of the U.S. Code. This Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner that all provisions relating to the settlement of the Award are exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the U.S. Code as “short-term deferrals” as described in Section 409A of the U.S. Code.

8.No Obligation to Continue Employment. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is obligated by or as a result of the Plan or this Agreement to continue the Grantee’s Service Relationship and neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the Service Relationship of the Grantee at any time.

9.Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to this Award and supersedes all prior agreements and discussions between the parties concerning such subject matter.

10.Section 431 Election. If the Grantee is tax resident in the United Kingdom and is so requested by the Board, the Grantee shall, along with its employer, within 14 days of acquisition of any Shares enter into a Section 431 Election with respect to such Shares enter into a Section 431 Election with respect to such Shares. The Grantee shall also make such arrangements as the Board may require for the satisfaction of any Federal, state, or local taxes (domestic or foreign) of any kind (including, but not limited to, any United Kingdom income tax or National Insurance contributions and including (to the extent legally permissible) with any employer’s (secondary) National Insurance contributions) with respect to such acquisition of Shares as may arise upon the making of such Section 431 Election.
