Re: Notice of Exercise

 

1.

By delivery of this Notice of Exercise, I am irrevocably electing to exercise options to purchase shares of Common Stock, par value $             per share (“Shares”) of Clovis Oncology, Inc. (the “Company”) granted to me under the Company’s 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

 

2.

The number of Shares I wish to purchase by exercising my options is                     .

 

3.

The applicable purchase price (or exercise price) is $             per Share, resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $                     (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”).

 

4.

I am satisfying my obligation to pay the Aggregate Purchase Price by:

 

 

Delivering to the Company, with this Notice of Exercise, an amount equal to the Aggregate Purchase Price in immediately available United States dollars, or by certified or bank cashier’s check.

 

 

Delivering to the Company, with this Notice of Exercise, Shares having a value equal to the Aggregate Purchase Price.

 

 

Delivering an irrevocable direction to a securities broker (on a form prescribed by the Committee) to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price. I have attached to this Notice of Exercise the written communication confirming the consent of the Committee to my use of the cashless exercise procedure described herein.

 

 

Authorizing the Company, through this Notice of Exercise, to effectuate a “net exercise,” pursuant to which I will receive the number of Shares exercised (as set forth in paragraph 2 above), reduced by the number of Shares equal to the Aggregate Purchase Price divided by the fair market value per Share on the date of exercise. I have attached to this Notice of Exercise the written communication confirming the consent of the Committee to my use of the net exercise procedure described herein.

 

5.

To satisfy the applicable withholding taxes:

 

 

I have enclosed an amount equal to the applicable withholding taxes in immediately available United States dollars, or by certified or bank cashier’s check.

 

-5-


 

I elect to have such amount satisfied by delivery of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker (on a form prescribed by the Committee) to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the applicable withholding taxes. I have attached to this Notice of Exercise the written communication confirming the consent of the Committee to my use of the cashless exercise procedure described herein.

 

 

I elect to have such amount satisfied by the use of Shares such that the number of Shares I receive upon exercise will be reduced (or further reduced if net exercise was chosen above) by a number of Shares with an aggregate fair market value on the date of exercise equal to any federal, state or local income or other taxes required by law to be withheld by the Company. I have attached to this Notice of Exercise the written communication confirming the consent of the Committee to my use of the withholding tax procedure described herein.

 

6.

I hereby agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and any award agreement to which the options were granted under. If I am not the person to whom the options were granted by the Company, proof of my right to purchase the Shares of the Company is enclosed.

 

7.

I have been advised to consult with any legal, tax or financial advisors I have chosen in connection with the purchase of the Shares.
