Payment”), provided that invoices for such services are submitted to the Company within 30 days after the Effective Date.

The Salary Continuation and Cash Severance Payment will be subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings. The first payment of the Salary Continuation, the Cash Severance Payment, and the Attorneys’ Fees Payment will be made no later than thirty (30) days after the execution of this Agreement (the “Severance Pay Commencement Date”), provided you comply with the Severance Preconditions. On the Severance Pay Commencement Date, the Company will pay in a lump sum the aggregate amount of the Salary Continuation under this Section 3(a) that the Company would have paid you through such date had the payments commenced on the Separation Date through the Severance Pay Commencement Date, the Cash Severance Payment, as well as the Attorneys’ Fees Payment. The remaining installments of the Salary Continuation will occur on the Company’s regularly scheduled payroll dates thereafter. In the event that you are re-employed by the Company or any affiliate while you are receiving the Salary Continuation, the Salary Continuation shall stop on the first day of such re-employment.

(d) The Company will pay you, as an additional severance benefit, an amount equivalent to a 2025 bonus you would have otherwise earned (if any) had you remained employed through the date bonuses are regularly paid to other employees, based on the achievement of applicable performance goals, pro-rated based on the number of days you were employed by the Company between January 1, 2025 and the Separation Date (the “Bonus Severance Payment”). The Bonus Severance Payment shall be $283,746.03. The Bonus Severance Payment will be paid in a lump sum, subject to applicable deductions and withholdings, no later than thirty (30) days after the execution of this Agreement, provided you complied with the Severance Preconditions.

(e) The Company will pay you a lump sum payment of USD $46,896.48 (the “Health Insurance Payment”), which you may use towards the cost of health insurance coverage, notwithstanding that you did not elect health coverage under the Company’s plans while employed. The Health Insurance Payment will be paid on the Severance Pay Commencement Date and the Company will report the Health Insurance Payment as wage income on an IRS Form W-2 and/or federal, state or local equivalent forms.

4. Equity.

(a) The parties acknowledge that you hold certain options over American Depositary Shares, each representing three (3) ordinary shares of GBP0.05 in the capital of the Company on deposit with a U.S. banking institution selected by the Company and which are registered pursuant to a Form F-6 (“Shares”) granted by the Company subject to the terms of the applicable option agreement (each an “Option Agreement”) and the Silence Therapeutics Plc 2023 Equity Incentive Plan as amended from time to time (the “2023 Plan”) and/or the Silence Therapeutics Plc 2018 Long Term Incentive Plan as

amended from time to time (the “2018 Plan” and the 2023 Plan and the 2018 Plan each being a “Plan”), as set out on Exhibit B to this Agreement (each an “Option” and together the “Options”). The parties hereby agree that your unvested Shares under the Options will continue to vest through the forty-five (45) day anniversary of the Separation Date, which is reflected in Exhibit B to this Agreement.

(b) Pursuant to the applicable Option Agreement and the Plan, you may, within twenty-four (24) months after the Separation Date, exercise all or part of the Options granted under the 2023 Plan (to the extent vested), and within twelve (12) months after the Separation Date, exercise all or part of the Options granted under the 2018 Plan (to the extent vested). To the extent that the vested portion of an Option has not been exercised within the applicable period it shall lapse immediately thereafter and shall not be exercisable.

(c) You acknowledge that, pursuant to the terms of the applicable Option Agreement and the Plan, those Shares under an Option that have not vested as at the Separation Date would lapse for no consideration and not be exercisable. However, if you meet the Severance Preconditions, your unvested Shares under the Options will not lapse and instead will remain outstanding until the earliest of (i) your failure to continue to comply with the Severance Preconditions, or (ii) the consummation of a Change of Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement) within twelve (12) months of the Separation Date and upon such consummation, so long as you are in continued compliance with the Severance Preconditions, those Shares shall vest. For the avoidance of doubt, these Shares shall not vest, and you will not be permitted to exercise the Options with respect to such Shares, prior to a Change of Control. If there has not been a Change of Control within twelve (12) months of the Separation Date (or, if earlier, your failure to comply with the Severance Preconditions), such Shares shall lapse for no consideration and not be exercisable.

(d) You acknowledge and agree that, except for the Options, you have no other options or rights in respect of any Shares, or other shares of the Company and/or any subsidiary of the Company, other than those shares of the Company which you purchased directly with Company approval.

(e) An option otherwise granted as an incentive stock option (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code) may cease to qualify as an incentive stock option in certain circumstances, including if the option remains outstanding and is exercised more than three months after a termination of employment. You acknowledge and agree that the Company provides no assurances about the tax treatment of your Options, or any other compensation or benefits, and that you should consult your own tax advisors, including regarding the impact of this Agreement on your Options.

5. Other Compensation or Benefits. You acknowledge that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, you have not earned, will not earn, and will not receive from the Company any additional compensation (including base salary, bonus, incentive compensation, or equity), severance, or benefits on, before or 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. Pursuant to the obligations in Section 4(c)(i) of the Employment Agreement, on or before the Severance Pay Commencement Date the Company will pay USD $20,000 to your tax providers in connection with the preparation and submission of your annual tax returns in the UK and USA, provided that invoices for such services are submitted to the Company within 30 days after the Effective Date. This $20,000 represents the maximum reimbursement available under the Employment Agreement for two years of tax-related preparation (i.e., $10,000 per year for the two tax years for which you are likely to incur UK tax liabilities), with the Company providing such amount upfront. Upon payment of this amount, you acknowledge and agree that no further amounts or obligations shall be owed by the Company under Section 4(c)(i) of the Employment Agreement.

6. Expense Reimbursements. You agree that you have submitted your final documented expense reimbursement statement reflecting all business expenses you incurred through the Separation Date, if any, for which you seek reimbursement. The Company will reimburse you for these expenses pursuant to its regular business practice.

7. Release of Claims.

(a) General Release of Claims. In exchange for the consideration provided to you under this Agreement to which you would not otherwise be entitled, you hereby generally and completely release the Company, and its affiliated, related, parent and subsidiary entities, and its and their current and former directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, agents, attorneys, predecessors, successors, insurers, affiliates, and assigns from any and all claims, liabilities, demands, causes of action, and obligations, both known and unknown, arising from or in any way related to events, acts, conduct, or omissions occurring at any time prior to and including the date you sign this Agreement.

While this Agreement does not limit your right to receive an award for information provided to any Government Agency in connection with a government whistleblower program or protected whistleblower activity, you understand and agree that, to maximum extent permitted by law, you are otherwise waiving any and all rights you may have to individual relief based on any claims that you have released and any rights you have waived by signing this Agreement. You further acknowledge that no provision in this Agreement prohibits you from: (1) reporting good faith allegations of unlawful employment practices to federal, state, or local government agencies; (2) reporting good faith allegations of criminal conduct to federal, state, or local government agencies; (3) participating in any proceeding for a government agency; (4) making truthful statements or disclosures required by law; or (5) requesting or receiving confidential legal advice.

8. As of the date of this Agreement, the Company is not aware of any claims that it intends to pursue against You.

Your timely compliance with this Section is a condition to your receipt of the Severance Benefits provided under this Agreement.

10. Confidential Information Obligations. You acknowledge and reaffirm your continuing obligations under your Employee Protective Covenants Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference. Confidential information that is also a “trade secret,” as defined by law, may be disclosed (A) if it is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

While you are receiving payments and other benefits under this Agreement, you agree to cooperate fully with the Company in connection with its actual or contemplated defense, prosecution, or investigation of any claims or demands by or against third parties, or other matters arising from events, acts, or failures to act that occurred during the period of your employment by the Company.

(c) If you commit a breach or the Company has reasonable grounds to believe that you are about to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of clauses (a) or (b) above, the Company shall have the right to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction without being required to post bond or other security and without having to prove the inadequacy of the available remedies at law, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company. In addition, the Company may also take all such other actions and remedies available to it under law or in equity and shall be entitled to such damages as it can show it has sustained by reason of such breach.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit you from disclosing a Company trade secret (1) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (2) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal; or (3) if you file a lawsuit for retaliation based on your reporting a suspected violation of law, to your attorney or in a related court proceeding, if you file any document containing the trade secret under seal and do not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.
