December 18, 2024 Lori Macomber Re: Transition Agreement Dear Lori: This letter sets forth the substance of the transition agreement (the “ Agreement ”) which Legend Biotech USA Inc . (the “ Company ”) is offering to you to aid in your employment transition . This Agreement will become effective on the date it has been signed by both parties (the “ Effective Date ”) . 1. Transition Period and Separation Date . You are hereby providing notice to the Company of your resignation from employment with the Company effective January 2 , 2025 , and the Company hereby accepts your resignation . Between the date of this Agreement through January 2 , 2025 (the “ Transition Period ”), you will continue to perform your job duties and certain transition services as may be requested by the Company . Although these transition services may not take your full work time, during the Transition Period you will continue to receive your current base salary and remain eligible to participate in the Company’s benefit plans as provided under such plans . As part of this Agreement, the Company agrees that it will not terminate your employment before January 2 , 2025 unless you ( 1 ) breach your obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement between you and the Company ; or ( 2 ) engage in workplace misconduct . If your employment is terminated early by the Company for either reason, you will be ineligible for any severance benefits from the Company, including the Severance Benefits described below . The date your employment ends is the “ Separation Date . ” 2. Accrued Salary and Vacation . On the next regular payroll date following the Separation Date, the Company will pay you all accrued salary and all accrued and unused vacation earned through the Separation Date, subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings . You will receive these payments regardless of whether or not you sign this Agreement . 3. Severance Benefits . In consideration of your timely execution of this Agreement, compliance with your obligations to the Company hereunder and under any agreement, plan or policy, and your timely execution and non - revocation of the updated release of claims attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Separation Date Release ”) no earlier than the Separation Date and no later than three ( 3 ) days after the Separation Date, the Company will provide you with the following “ Severance Benefits : ” 310904891
310904891 Lori Macomber December 18, 2024 Page 2 (a) Severance Payments . The Company will pay you severance equal to six ( 6 ) months of your current base salary as of the Separation Date (the “ Severance Payment ”) . This severance will be subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings and will be paid in a lump sum on the Company’s first payroll date that occurs eight ( 8 ) days after the Separation Date Release Effective Date . (b) 2024 Bonus . The Company will pay you an annual bonus for 2024 of one hundred eighty - five thousand four hundred dollars ( $ 185 , 400 ) (the “ 2024 Bonus ”), which is equal to 100 % of your annual bonus target for 2024 . The 2024 Bonus will be subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings and will be paid in a lump sum on the Company’s first payroll date that occurs eight ( 8 ) days after the Separation Date Release Effective Date . (c) COBRA Premiums . If you are eligible for and timely elect to continue your health insurance coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“ COBRA ”) or the state equivalent, the Company will pay for the Company portion of the COBRA premiums for you and your eligible dependents (“ COBRA Premiums ”), if any, until the earlier of (A) six ( 6 ) months following the Separation Date ; (B) the expiration of your eligibility for the continuation coverage under COBRA ; or (C) the date when you become eligible for substantially equivalent health insurance coverage in connection with new employment or self - employment (such period from the termination date through the earliest of (A) through (C), the “ COBRA Payment Period ”) . Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the payment of the COBRA premiums would result in a violation of the nondiscrimination rules of Section 105 (h)( 2 ) of the Code or any statute or regulation of similar effect (including but not limited to the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act), then provided you remain eligible for reimbursement in accordance with this Section 3 (c), in lieu of providing the COBRA premiums, the Company will instead pay you on the last day of each remaining month of the COBRA Payment Period, a fully taxable cash payment equal to the COBRA premiums for that month, subject to applicable tax withholdings for the remainder of the COBRA Payment Period, which you may but are not obligated to use towards health insurance payments . If you become eligible for coverage under another employer’s group health plan or through self - employment or otherwise cease to be eligible for COBRA during the period provided in this clause, you must immediately notify the Company of such event, and all payments and obligations under this clause will cease . (d) Acceleration of Vesting and Extension of Exercise Period . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any applicable restricted share unit award agreement, stock option agreement or other stock - based award agreement or applicable equity plan, (A) vesting of any unvested and outstanding equity awards held by you as of the Effective Date shall continue to vest during the Transition Period, notwithstanding that notice of termination of your services shall have been given ; (B) any unvested and outstanding
310904891 Lori Macomber December 18, 2024 Page 3 equity awards held by you as of the Separation Date that would have vested during the six ( 6 ) month period following the Separation Date had you remained employed (and not given or received notice of termination) shall be accelerated, such that such then - unvested equity awards shall immediately vest and become fully exercisable or non - forfeitable without regard to any time or individual performance - based requirements ; and (C) the post - termination exercise period attributable to any stock options (which, you hereby acknowledge will disqualify any existing incentive stock options from status as “incentive stock options”) shall be extended to six ( 6 ) months (but no later than the original expiration date applicable to the option) from the Separation Date . (e) Outplacement Benefits . The Company will provide you with outplacement services with a nationally recognized provider or executive coaching services for a period of six ( 6 ) months, which must commence no later than sixty ( 60 ) days following the Separation Date, up to $ 20 , 000 in annual fees (the “ Coaching Services ”) . 4. Health Insurance .

To the extent provided by the federal COBRA law or, if applicable, state insurance laws, and by the Company’s current group health insurance policies, you will be eligible to continue your group health insurance benefits following the Separation Date at your own cost ; provided, however, that you will be eligible for certain COBRA premium payments as provided in Section 3 (c) above . Later, you may be able to convert to an individual policy through the provider of the Company’s health insurance, if you wish . You will be provided with a separate notice describing your rights and obligations under COBRA and a form for electing COBRA coverage . 5. EQUITY . You acknowledge and agree that you hold the equity awards in respect of ordinary shares in the capital of Legend Biotech Corporation (the “ Parent ” and the “ Parent Shares ” respectively) set out Exhibit B hereto (the “ Parent Equity Awards ”) and that you have no other options, shares or rights in respect of any Parent Shares or any other shares of the Parent, the Company and/or any other affiliate of the Parent or the Company . You acknowledge that, other than as set out in Section 3 (d) above, the Parent Equity Awards are governed by and subject to the terms of the applicable Parent equity plan and grant documentation, including in relation to exercisability and expiration . The Company makes no representation as to the tax treatment of any Parent Equity Award . 6. Other Compensation or Benefits . You acknowledge that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, you have not earned and will not receive from the Company or the Parent any additional compensation (including base salary, bonus, incentive compensation, or equity), severance, or benefits after the Separation Date, with the exception of any vested right you may have under the express terms of a written ERISA - qualified benefit plan (e . g . , 401 (k) account) or any vested stock options or other equity . 7. Expense Reimbursements . You agree that, within fourteen ( 14 ) days of the Separation Date, you will submit your final documented expense reimbursement statement
310904891 Lori Macomber December 18, 2024 Page 4 reflecting all business expenses you incurred through the Separation Date, if any, for which you seek reimbursement .

For the avoidance of doubt, Company property to return includes but is not limited to property of Parent or any Company affiliate . You also agree to, within five ( 5 ) days following the Separation Date, complete and return to the Company the Termination Certification attached as Exhibit B - 1 to the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement between you and the Company dated September 28 , 2022 (the “ Employment Agreement ”) . 9.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
310904891 Lori Macomber December 18, 2024 Page 5 in this Agreement shall limit your right to voluntarily communicate with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, United States Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission, other federal government agency, similar state or local agency, or an attorney you retain, or to discuss the terms and conditions of your employment with others to the extent expressly permitted by Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act . 11. Cooperation after Separation Date . You agree to cooperate fully with the Company in all matters relating to the transition of your work and responsibilities on behalf of the Company, including, but not limited to, any present, prior or subsequent relationships and the orderly transfer of any such work and institutional knowledge to such other persons as may be designated by the Company, by making yourself reasonably available at mutually - agreeable times during regular business hours . You further agree that you will cooperate with the Company in matters relating to corporate governance matters and Company communications related to your transition .

310904891 Lori Macomber December 18, 2024 Page 8 14. No Admission . This Agreement does not constitute an admission by the Company of any wrongful action or violation of any federal, state, or local statute, or common law rights, including those relating to the provisions of any law or statute concerning employment actions, or of any other possible or claimed violation of law or rights . 15. Breach . You agree that upon any breach of this Agreement you will forfeit all amounts paid or owing to you under this Agreement . Further, you acknowledge that it may be impossible to assess the damages caused by your violation of the terms of Sections 8 , 9 , 10 and 11 of this Agreement and further agree that any threatened or actual violation or breach of those Sections of this Agreement will constitute immediate and irreparable injury to the Company . You therefore agree that any such breach of this Agreement is a material breach of this Agreement, and, in addition to any and all other damages and remedies available to the Company upon your breach of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction to prevent you from violating or breaching this Agreement . You agree that if the Company is successful in whole or part in any legal or equitable action against you under this Agreement, you agree to pay all of the costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Company in enforcing the terms of this Agreement . 16. Dispute Resolution . You and the Company agree that any and all disputes, claims, or controversies of any nature whatsoever arising from, or relating to, this Agreement or its interpretation, enforcement, breach, performance, or execution, or any of the matters herein released (other than disputes related to the provision of benefits where a dispute process is provided for by the applicable benefits plan document) (collectively, “ Claims ,” each a “ Claim ”), shall be resolved, pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U . S . C . † 1 - 16 , and to the fullest extent permitted by law, by final, binding, and confidential arbitration at a location closest to where you last worked for the Company or another mutually agreeable location . The arbitration shall be conducted before a single neutral arbitrator by JAMS, Inc . (“ JAMS ”) or its successor, under the then applicable JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (currently available at https : //www . jamsadr . com/rules - comprehensive - arbitration) (“ JAMS Rules ”) and New Jersey law . Both you and the Company opt into the Expedited Procedures under the JAMS Rules . The arbitrator shall apply substantive and procedural New Jersey law to any dispute or claim, without reference to any conflict - of - law provisions of any jurisdiction . To the extent that the JAMS Rules conflict with New Jersey law, New Jersey law shall take precedence . By agreeing to this arbitration procedure, both you and the Company waive the right to have any Claim resolved through a trial by jury or judge or an administrative proceeding . This paragraph shall not apply to any action or claim that cannot be subject to mandatory arbitration as a matter of law . The arbitrator shall have sole authority for determining if a Claim is subject to arbitration, and any other procedural questions related to the dispute and bearing on the final disposition . In addition, the arbitrator shall : (a) have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be available under applicable law in a court proceeding ; and (b) issue a written statement signed by the arbitrator regarding the disposition of each claim and the relief, if any, awarded as to each claim, the reasons for the award, and the arbitrator’s essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based . You and the Company shall each pay half the costs and expenses of the arbitration and
310904891 Lori Macomber December 18, 2024 Page 9 each pay for its respective attorneys’ fees and costs . To the extent JAMS does not collect or you otherwise do not pay to JAMS an equal share of all JAMS’ arbitration fees for any reason, and the Company pays JAMS your share, you acknowledge and agree that the Company shall be entitled to recover from you half of the JAMS arbitration fees invoiced to the parties (less any amounts you paid to JAMS) in a federal or state court of competent jurisdiction . Nothing in this letter agreement is intended to prevent either you or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration . Any awards or orders in such arbitrations may be entered and enforced as judgments in the federal and state courts of any competent jurisdiction . 17. Tax Provisions . All payments and benefits under this Agreement will be subject to applicable withholding for federal, state, foreign, provincial and local taxes . It is intended that all of the benefits and other payments payable under this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, an exemption from the application of Section 409 A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 , as amended, including any applicable regulations and guidance thereunder (“ Section 409 A ”) and this Agreement will be construed to the greatest extent possible as consistent with those provisions, and to the extent not so exempt, this Agreement will be construed in a manner that complies with Section 409 A, and any ambiguities herein shall be interpreted accordingly . Specifically, the severance benefits under this Agreement are intended to satisfy the exemptions from application of Section 409 A provided under Treasury Regulations Sections 1 . 409 A - 1 (b)( 4 ), 1 . 409 A - 1 (b)( 5 ) and 1 . 409 A - 1 (b)( 9 ) and each installment of severance benefits, if any, is a separate “payment” for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1 . 409 A - 2 (b)( 2 )(i) . However, if such exemptions are not available and you are, as of your “separation from service,” as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1 . 409 A - 1 (h) (“ Separation from Service ”), a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409 A, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409 A, the timing of the severance benefits payments shall be delayed until the earlier of (i) six months and one day after your Separation from Service, or (ii) your death . Severance benefits shall not commence until you have a Separation from Service . If severance benefits are not covered by one or more exemptions from the application of Section 409 A and the Release could become effective in the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Separation from Service occurs, the Release will not be deemed effective, for purposes of payment of severance benefits, any earlier than the first day of the second calendar year . Except to the minimum extent that payments must be delayed because you are a “specified employee” or until the effectiveness of the Release, all severance amounts will be paid as soon as practicable in accordance with this Agreement and the Company’s normal payroll practices . 18. Miscellaneous . This Agreement, including its Exhibits, constitutes the complete, final and exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement between you and the Company with regard to this subject matter . It is entered into without reliance on any promise or representation, written or oral, other than those expressly contained herein, and it supersedes any other such promises, warranties or representations . This Agreement may not be modified or amended except in a writing signed by both you and a duly - authorized officer of the Company . This Agreement will bind the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of both you and
310904891 Lori Macomber December 18, 2024 Page 10 the Company, and inure to the benefit of both you and the Company, their heirs, successors and assigns . If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, this determination will not affect any other provision of this Agreement and the provision in question will be modified by the court so as to be rendered enforceable . This Agreement will be deemed to have been entered into and will be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as applied to contracts made and to be performed entirely within Pennsylvania . If this Agreement is acceptable to you, please sign below and return it to me . I wish you good luck in your future endeavors . [ signatures to follow on next page ]
