10. Stock-Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plans

The Company’s 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”) was adopted by the Company’s board of directors in March 2024, was approved by the Company’s stockholders on June 6, 2024, became effective on June 7, 2024, and was amended with the approval of our stockholders in June 2026. The 2024 Plan was intended to replace the Company’s Amended and Restated 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), and upon the effectiveness of the 2024 Plan, no further grants may be made under the 2015 Plan. All outstanding awards under the 2015 Plan will continue in accordance with the 2015 Plan and any award agreement executed in connection with such outstanding awards. The 2024 Plan provides for the grant of stock options (both incentive and non-statutory stock options), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units, and other stock-based awards. Stock-based awards are subject to terms and conditions established by the board of directors or the compensation committee of the board of directors. As of September 30, 2026, the number of shares of common stock available for grant under the 2024 Plan was 21,923,152 shares.

The Company’s 2021 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan (the “Inducement Plan”) was adopted by the Company’s board of directors in May 2021 and subsequently amended to increase the shares available for grant. The Inducement Plan provides for the grant of non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, stock appreciation rights, performance stock units, and performance shares exclusively for newly hired employees. Each award under the Inducement Plan is intended to qualify as an employment inducement grant in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). As of September 30, 2026, the number of shares of common stock available for grant under the Inducement Plan was 754,463 shares.

The Savara Inc. Stock Option Plan (the “2008 Plan”) was adopted in 2008, and the Company no longer issues awards under the 2008 Plan. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had options outstanding to purchase 45,121 shares of common stock under the 2008 Plan. The outstanding awards granted under the 2008 Plan are fully vested and generally have a maximum contractual term of ten years.

As of September 30, 2026 the Company has granted, all of which are currently outstanding, 4,560,000 performance stock units (the “PSUs”) to certain of its employees and non-employee service providers. The PSUs are subject to certain performance conditions and a service condition. The performance conditions range from (i) FDA approval of the Company’s BLA for MOLBREEVI for the treatment of autoimmune PAP, (ii) the European Medicines Agency approval of the Company’s marketing authorization application for MOLBREEVI for the treatment of autoimmune PAP, (iii) the achievement of a certain revenue target, or (iv) a combination of some of the aforementioned performance conditions. The service condition is continuous employment or service with the Company through the date the performance conditions are achieved. The potential payout of the award ranges from 0% to 100% of the target, dependent on the achievement of the performance conditions and their respective weighting towards the vesting of the PSUs as predetermined by the Company. The Company recognizes compensation cost for PSUs on a straight-line basis in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss from the grant date over the period in which the performance conditions are expected to be achieved, when and for so long as achievement of the performance conditions is assessed as probable. The Company reassesses the probability of achievement at each reporting date. If achievement of a performance condition is no longer assessed as probable, or an unvested award is forfeited, previously recognized compensation cost is reversed on a cumulative basis in the period of the change. Additionally, as of September 30, 2026, the Company had 160,000 vested RSUs with deferred settlement outstanding, representing deferred shares to be issued in future periods. Deferred RSUs are fully vested, not subject to forfeiture, included in the denominator of basic earnings per share, as the underlying shares are issuable for no further consideration and issuance is not contingent upon any condition other than the passage of time, and the related stock based compensation is not affected by the deferral election.

The total compensation cost related to unvested RSUs and PSUs not yet recognized as of September 30, 2026, was $12.0 million, which is expected to be recognized over approximately 0.8 years.
