AMENDED AND RESTATED NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION POLICY

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Y-mAbs Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) has approved the following Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (the “Policy”), which establishes compensation to be paid to Non-Employee Directors (as defined below) of the Company, as an inducement to obtain and retain the services of qualified persons to serve as members of the Board. This Policy, as hereby amended and restated, is effective as of April [•], 2024 (the “Effective Date”) and replaces and supersedes any and all compensation policies or programs previously established or maintained by the Company with respect to Non- Employee Directors; provided, however, that any equity awards outstanding on the Effective Date shall not be affected by this Policy and shall continue to be governed by the applicable terms set forth in the Company’s amended and restated 2015 Equity Incentive Plan or the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (each a “Plan”) and in the applicable grant agreements relating to such awards.

1.

Applicable Persons

This Policy shall apply to each director of the Company who is not also an employee of the Company or any Affiliate (each, a “Non-Employee Director”). “Affiliate” shall mean an entity which is a direct or indirect parent or subsidiary of the Company, as determined pursuant to Section 424 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

2.

Equity Grants

All share amounts set forth herein shall be subject to automatic adjustment in the event of any stock split or other recapitalization affecting the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”).

(a)

Annual Equity Grants

Without any further action of the Board or the compensation committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), each year, at the earlier of the close of business of (i) each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders following the Effective Date (an “Annual Meeting”), or (ii) if the Annual Meeting for a given year has not yet occurred by such date, June 30 (or the next trading day immediately thereafter, if such date falls on a non- trading day), each Non-Employee Director shall automatically be granted (1) a non-qualified stock option with an aggregate grant date fair value equal to $127,500 (the “Annual Option Grant”); and (2) restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with an aggregate grant date fair value equal to $42,500 (the “Annual RSU Grant”). Subject to the continued service of each Non-Employee Director through each applicable vesting date, each Annual Option Grant shall vest in equal monthly installments until the first anniversary of the date of grant, and each Annual RSU Grant shall vest in full on the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of grant or the date immediately preceding the date of the following Annual Meeting.

(b)

Initial Equity Grants For Newly Appointed or Elected Directors

With respect to any Non-Employee Director who is first appointed or elected to the Board after the Effective Date, without any further action of the Board or the Compensation Committee, on the date on which such new Non-Employee Director commences service in such position pursuant to his or her initial appointment or election to the Board (or, if the date of such commencement of service is not a trading day, the first trading day following the date of such commencement of service), each such new Non-Employee Director shall be granted (1) a non-qualified stock option with an aggregate grant date fair value equal to $255,000 (the “Initial Option Grant”); and (2) RSUs with an aggregate grant date fair value equal to $85,000 (the “Initial RSU Grant”). Subject to the continued service of each Non-Employee Director through each applicable vesting date, each Initial Option Grant shall vest in equal monthly installments until the third anniversary of the date of grant, and each Initial RSU Grant shall vest in equal quarterly installments (i.e., every three months on the same day of the month as the date of grant) until the third anniversary of the date of grant.

(c)

Terms for All Equity Grants


All options granted under this Policy shall (i) have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock as determined in the applicable Plan on the date of grant; (ii) terminate on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant and (iii) contain such other terms and conditions as set forth in the form of option agreement approved by the Board or the Compensation Committee. All RSUs granted under this Policy shall contain such other terms and conditions as set forth in the form of RSU agreement approved by the Board or the Compensation Committee. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to an option granted under this Policy will be determined based on a Black Scholes model calculated using the average closing price per share of Common Stock over the 30-calendar day period immediately preceding the grant date. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to RSUs granted under this Policy will be determined based on the average closing price per share of Common Stock for the 30-calendar day period immediately preceding the grant date.
