2025 Stock Option Plan At its June 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company’s 2025 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (“2025 Option Plan”) was approved by the shareholders. The 2025 Option Plan replaced the 2015 Stock Option Plan (“2015 Option Plan”), originally referred to as the 2007 Option Plan. No new awards can be issued under the 2015 Option Plan. The Company reserved 117,868 Common Shares for issuance under the 2025 Option Plan at the time of adoption. On May 20, 2026, the 2025 Option Plan was amended to increase the number of options available for issuance by 900,000 Common Shares. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had 234,814 and 80,686 options available for grant under the 2025 Option Plan and 2015 Option Plan, respectively. The Common Shares underlying any awards under the 2025 Option Plan and 2015 Option Plan that are forfeited, canceled, or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) are added back to the shares available for issuance under the 2025 Option Plan. Share options are granted in either US$ or C$. Upon the change in the Company’s functional currency, effective July 1, 2023, C$ share options previously classified as equity were reclassified as liabilities. All grants following the Company’s change in functional currency are in US$. 2026 Inducement Plan On May 28, 2026, the Board of Directors adopted the ProMIS Neurosciences Inc. 2026 Inducement Plan (the “2026 Inducement Plan”), pursuant to which 180,000 common shares were reserved for equity-based awards to eligible individuals as an inducement material to their entering into employment with the Company. The 2026 Inducement Plan was adopted without shareholder approval pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). The 2026 Inducement Plan provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, unrestricted stock awards and dividend equivalent rights. As of June 30, 2026, no awards had been granted and 180,000 common shares remained available for issuance under the 2026 Inducement Plan. Canadian Dollar Share Options

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, no C$ options were exercised or granted, and 486 C$ options expired. Upon the change in the Company’s functional currency effective July 1, 2023, C$ share options previously classified as equity were reclassified as liabilities. The C$ options were re-measured as of June 30, 2026 and had a fair value of $77,255.

2026 Performance-based US$ grants During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company granted 375,001 US$ share options to management and employees with vesting subject to both performance and service conditions (“2026 Performance Options”). The 2026 Performance Options initially vest upon the achievement of specified performance conditions related to the Company's clinical development activities, which must be met prior to June 30, 2027. The 2026 Performance Options had a grant date fair value of $3,310,134 which was estimated using a Black-Scholes model with the following inputs: share price of $10.65, exercise price of $10.77, expected term of 5.7 years, volatility of 109.2% and a risk free rate of 4.22%. As of June 30, 2026, achievement of the performance conditions was not considered probable, and no share-based compensation expense has been recognized related to the 2026 Performance Options.

Under the DSU Plan, rights to the Company’s Common Shares may be awarded on a deferred payment basis up to a maximum of 667 common share units.
