Exhibit 10.14
1PURPOSE
The Incentive Compensation Policy (“Policy”) describes the governing principles for Incentive Compensation through the Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”), Commercial Incentive Plan (“CIP”), awards programs, and any individual written employment agreement between an Employee and their employing Company
(collectively referred to as “Incentive Compensation”) for eligible United States (“US”) Employees (as defined below) of Indivior Inc. and Indivior Treatment Services, Inc. (each a “Company” and collectively the “Companies”).
Inappropriately incentivizing Employees may result in legal and regulatory risks to the Companies.
1.1Inherent Risk Areas
Improper External Communication and/or Interaction
Inappropriate Transfer of Value
Presenting, promoting or soliciting information regarding Company products that is untruthful, inaccurate, and/or misleading or
information that goes beyond approved product label. Also includes promoting products to ineligible persons.
Providing, promising, offering, soliciting or receiving anything of value to or from a health care professional, government/foreign official, health care entity, patient advocacy organization, patient, third-party payor or anyone in exchange for past or future prescribing,
recommendation of company product(s) or to improperly influence their actions.
2SCOPE
This Policy applies to all full-time and part-time employees (each an “Employee”) who are eligible for Incentive Compensation in the US.
3POLICY DETAILS
3.1Key Principles
3.1.1Incentive Compensation is designed to drive performance and behaviors consistent with Indivior’s purpose and its Code of Conduct and other written standards, values, and strategy.
3.1.2Incentive Compensation provides a variable pay component as an incentive, in addition to an Employee’s regular salary. The combination of the base salary

compensation and the Incentive Compensation is designed to yield a competitive total compensation opportunity.
3.1.3Incentive Compensation is designed so that financial incentives do not inappropriately incentivize Employees to engage in or tolerate marketing, promoting, or selling of Indivior’s products (1) for unapproved uses, (2) to
prescribers who practice within an excluded specialty, (3) to prescribers on a government debarred list or who have been delisted pursuant to the Prescriber Concern Reporting Policy, or (4) at dosages above maximum recommended doses listed in the package insert.
3.2Eligibility Rules
3.2.1Incentive Compensation is available only through the AIP, the CIP, or as provided in an employment agreement. Employees are never eligible for Incentive Compensation through both the AIP and CIP. Contingent Workers and Consultants are not eligible for AIP or CIP. An Employee must receive written confirmation from the Company to be eligible for Incentive Compensation. Incentive Compensation targets, multipliers, and levels shall be designated in an Employee’s offer letter, employment agreement, or other written correspondence from the Company as well as the Annual Incentive Plan SOP (SOP.HR.10413) or the Commercial Incentive Plan SOP (SOP.COM.10523). . Refer to the Commercial Incentive Plan SOP for further information on the development, implementation, and execution of the CIP.
3.2.2The Company reserves the right to, in its sole discretion, cancel or modify any Employee’s eligibility for Incentive Compensation at any time. For example, Employees may not be eligible, or may have limited eligibility for Incentive Compensation, where:
•the Employee has been found by the Company to have committed violations of Indivior’s written standards, as tracked by Integrity & Compliance;
•the Employee has not completed required compliance training; or
•the Employee has had unsatisfactory job performance (e.g., having a rating of ‘needs improvement’ or lower on their annual Performance
and Development Review (“PDR”), or being placed on a performance improvement plan, as tracked by Human Resources (“HR”).
3.2.3The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to withhold payment of Incentive Compensation to an Employee who is relevant to an ongoing internal

investigation. Based on the outcome of an internal investigation, the Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to pay the full amount of Incentive Compensation to the Employee, pay only a partial amount of Incentive Compensation to the Employee, or not pay any Incentive Compensation to the Employee.
3.2.4The ability to participate in Incentive Compensation in any one year does not guarantee participation in future years. The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the terms of the Incentive Compensation programs at any time, either on an individual Employee or global basis.
3.2.5If an Employee’s employment commenced part-way through the fiscal year, any Incentive Compensation payment will be made on a pro-rata basis from the
Employee’s start date unless otherwise provided in an employment agreement.
3.2.6If an Employee changes jobs, or receives a base salary increase during the fiscal year, be it in the same country or via international transfer, resulting in changed targets, the Employee’s Incentive Compensation payout will be based, pro rata, on the achievements of each set of targets over the course of the fiscal year unless otherwise provided in an employment agreement.
3.2.7Employees will not be paid Incentive Compensation during any periods of long- term sickness or disability, or unpaid leave unless required by local laws and regulations.
3.2.8Pro rata Incentive Compensation payments may be granted, at the sole discretion of the Company, to Company Employees who retire or become disabled during the fiscal year, or to the estate of a former Employee who is deceased where the deceased Employee died while employed during the fiscal year.
3.2.9Acquisitions, divestments, or major launches will be considered on a case-by-case basis and may result in an adjustment of Incentive Compensation results at the end of the year at the sole discretion of the Company.
3.2.10The Company may, in compliance with the principles and requirements of this Policy, adjust the formulaic bonus outcomes, as needed, both upwards and downwards (including to zero) to ensure alignment of pay with performance.
3.2.11Participation in Incentive Compensation will end if the Company determines that:
•Payment of Incentive Compensation becomes unreasonable or inappropriate due to collective bargaining, statutory provisions, or other reasons; or

•the Company is no longer in a position to make Incentive Compensation payments.
3.3Supplemental Payments
3.3.1There may be additional supplemental payments provided by the Company to eligible Employees at the sole discretion of the Company. All supplemental payments must be reviewed and approved, at a minimum, by Integrity & Compliance and HR prior to payment. Integrity & Compliance and HR may request counsel from Legal and other relevant business stakeholders, as needed, particularly when the supplemental payment is available to eligible Employees.
3.4Termination of Employment
3.4.1Participation in Incentive Compensation does not alter the “Employment at Will” status of Employees or the right of the Company or the right of the Employee to terminate his or her employment at any time, with or without Cause.
3.4.2If an Employee’s employment terminates by reason of resignation or for Cause prior to Incentive Compensation payout (whether such termination occurs during or after the fiscal year), such Employee is not entitled to an Incentive Compensation payment unless otherwise provided in an employment agreement.
3.4.3The Company may exercise its judgment to determine what, if any, Incentive Compensation payment should be paid to an Employee in the event the Employee’s employment terminates due to position elimination, change in job responsibilities, or a reduction-in-force during the fiscal year. However, if such Employee has a written employment agreement, the terms of the written employment agreement will be followed as to this issue. In the absence of a written employment agreement, factors that the Company may consider include, but are not limited to the following:
•When during the fiscal year the separation occurred
•Whether the Employee’s objectives were met
•The overall performance of the Indivior Group
3.5Clawback
3.5.1The Company reserves the right to, in its sole discretion and subject to applicable law, seek redress from individuals in circumstances where there has been a material misstatement of the Indivior Group or business unit results, or a failure to comply with the Indivior Code of Conduct or other written standards, irrespective of the

•Reducing (including, if appropriate, to zero) the amount of any future Incentive Compensation; or,
•Requiring an Employee to pay the Company or any associated entity (e.g., subsidiary) the amount required to satisfy the Clawback in full, on terms directed by the Company (including, without limitation, on terms that the
relevant amount is to be withheld or deducted from the Employee’s salary or from any other payment to be made to the Employee by the Company or associated entity).
3.5.4Employees, as a condition to participating in, and being eligible to receive Incentive Compensation, agree to:
•Authorize the Company and/or associated entities to deduct the Clawback amount from the Employee’s remuneration or payments due to them if permitted by applicable law;
•Repay to the Company or associated entity the Clawback amount on demand as a debt; and,
•Pay and indemnify, and keep indemnified, the Company and all associated entities against any costs and expenses, which may include reasonable legal expenses, incurred by the Company or any associated entity in enforcing the Clawback provisions.
3.5.5No delay or omission on the part of the Company or any associated entity in exercising its rights under this Policy shall operate as a waiver of any such rights to seek redress.
