EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

September 4, 2026

Ivana Rubino

Dear Ivana:

On behalf of ProMIS Neurosciences (US), Inc. (the “Company”), I am pleased to offer you the position of Chief Commercial Officer (“CCO”). This employment offer letter (the “Employment Agreement”) sets forth the terms for employment below:

1. Position.

Effective as of your first date of employment, which is expected to be October 5, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), you will serve as the Company’s Chief Commercial Officer, and you will report to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). You will be responsible for duties as are consistent with such position as well as other duties assigned by the Company. Your principal place of employment will be the Greater Boston, Massachusetts area, within thirty (30) miles of Cambridge, Massachusetts. You will travel as reasonably necessary in connection with your duties. Subject to business requirements and applicable legal, tax, immigration, regulatory and data-security considerations, you may perform services remotely from locations outside Massachusetts, including internationally, for reasonable temporary periods. The Company acknowledges that such flexibility forms part of your agreed working arrangement and will not be eliminated solely as a result of a generally applicable return-to-office policy. Specific periods of extended remote work will be coordinated in advance with the CEO. A requirement that you permanently relocate your principal place of employment outside the agreed area without your prior written consent will constitute Good Reason.

You may engage in religious, charitable, and community activities as long as such activities do not materially interfere with your obligations or the performance of your duties to the Company. You may engage in other professional activities, including, but not limited to, board positions, with the prior authorization of the CEO, which authorization will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Approval may be denied where the CEO reasonably determines that the activity creates a material actual or reasonably foreseeable conflict of interest, would involve disclosure or use of Company confidential information, would materially interfere with your duties, or creates material legal, regulatory or reputational risk. Any denial will identify the reasonable basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company expressly acknowledges and approves your existing service on the Genworth Scientific Advisory Board.

2. Salary.

The Company will pay you an initial base salary at the rate of $445,000 per year, commencing on the Effective Date, payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll schedule and subject to applicable deductions and withholdings. Such base salary may be increased from time to time by the Board and may not be materially reduced except for an across-the-board reduction similarly affecting all or substantially all senior executive officers, subject to the Good Reason provisions below. The base salary at any given time shall be referred to as the “Base Salary”.

3. Annual Bonus.

You will be eligible to receive an annual performance bonus targeted at 35% of the Base Salary, with the actual bonus determined by the Board based on Company and individual performance objectives established for the


applicable year, including the same applicable Company performance multiplier and payout framework used for other senior executive officers.

You will participate in the Company’s annual incentive plan beginning on the Effective Date. For 2026, you will be eligible for a prorated annual bonus based solely on the portion of the year employed by the Company, calculated using a 35% target and the same performance metrics, Company multiplier and payout framework applicable to other senior executive officers. The 2026 bonus will not be subject to any additional minimum-service requirement. Annual bonuses will be paid at the same time as bonuses are paid to the Company’s other senior executive officers following the applicable performance year. If you are terminated without Cause or resign for Good Reason after completion of a performance year but before the applicable payment date, any earned bonus for that completed year will remain payable when bonuses are otherwise paid and the bonus payout is subject to you signing a release as further described in Section 9. Termination Benefits.

4. Sign-on Bonus.

Provided you begin active employment with the Company on or before October 5, 2026, the Company will pay you a one-time, lump sum in the amount of $100,000 (the “Sign-On Bonus”). The Sign-On Bonus will be less taxes and withholdings and shall be paid on the first practicable payroll date following your first date of employment. If you voluntarily resign your employment without Good Reason or are terminated with Cause within six (6) months from the date the Sign-On Bonus is paid, you agree to repay the Sign-On Bonus to the Company in full within thirty (30) days of your last date of employment.

The Sign-On Bonus is intended in part to offset annual incentive and other compensation forfeited in connection with your transition from your current employer.

5. Equity.

Subject to final approval by the Board, the Company shall grant you an option to purchase 80,000 common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”) at a price per share equal to the “Fair Market Value” (as defined in the 2026 Inducement Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Inducement Plan”)) of the Common Shares calculated on the date of grant (such price, the “Grant Date Market Value”) (such option, the “Stock Option Award”). The Stock Option Award will be granted in accordance with the inducement award exception set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(c)(4) as an inducement material to your decision to accept the offer of employment with the Company. The Stock Option Award shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Inducement Plan and stock option agreement, and shall be contingent upon your execution of such award (collectively, the “Equity Documents”). The Stock Option Award will vest as follows: 25% of the Common Shares underlying the Stock Option Award shall vest immediately on the Vesting Commencement Date, and the remaining 75% shall vest monthly over the three (3) years following the Vesting Commencement Date, subject to continuous Service Relationship. The Vesting Commencement Date shall be the Effective Date.

The Stock Option Award will be approved and granted promptly following the Effective Date and no later than the first regularly scheduled Board or Compensation Committee meeting following the Effective Date, with the exercise price determined by Fair Market Value on the actual grant date in accordance with the Inducement Plan.

Beginning with the 2027 compensation cycle, you will be eligible to participate in the Company’s annual executive long-term incentive program on a basis commensurate with your position as Chief Commercial Officer and comparable senior executive officers, as determined by the Board.

6. Benefits.

You will be eligible to participate in the employee benefits and insurance programs generally made available to the Company’s full-time employees. Details of such benefits programs, including mandatory employee contributions, if any, and waiting periods, if applicable, will be made available to you when such benefit(s) become available. Prior to execution of this Agreement, the Company will provide the current executive benefits summary, including healthcare, 401(k) and employer match (if any), life and disability coverage, paid time off/vacation, holidays and other material executive benefits.


7. At-Will Employment; Accrued Obligations.

Your employment will be “at will”, meaning you or the Company may terminate it at any time for any or no reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing and except for termination in the event of your death, any termination of your employment by the Company or by you shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party. In the event of your resignation without Good Reason, you agree to provide the Company with at least 30 days’ notice which may be waived by the Company in its discretion. In the event of the ending of your employment for any reason, the Company shall pay you (i) your Base Salary as accrued but not paid through your last day of employment (the Date of Termination), and (ii) documented expenses properly incurred by you on behalf of the Company prior to termination and not yet reimbursed (the “Accrued Obligations”).

This Employment Agreement will be governed by Massachusetts law, and the parties submit to the applicable federal and state courts in Massachusetts. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the other’s prior written consent, except that the Company may assign it to an affiliate or successor in connection with a reorganization, merger or transfer of all or substantially all assets. As a condition to any such permitted assignment, the successor or acquiring entity will expressly assume and agree to perform all obligations under this Agreement.

If any payment or benefit would constitute a parachute payment under Section 280G and be subject to the Section 4999 excise tax, the payments and benefits will either be delivered in full or reduced to the minimum extent necessary to avoid the excise tax, whichever produces the greater after-tax benefit to you, as determined by an independent tax adviser selected by the Company.
