License Agreement

On January 12, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Napo”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jaguar Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Company, entered into a license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Woodward Specialty LLC (the “Licensee”), an affiliate of Future Pak, LLC (“Future Pak”), and Future Pak, pursuant to which, Napo (a) granted to Licensee an exclusive, non-transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free right and license (subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the License Agreement) under the Napo Mytesi Patents (as defined in the License Agreement) to sell, offer for sale, have sold, make, have made, promote, distribute and otherwise commercialize the Mytesi Product and the Canalevia Product (both as defined in the License Agreement; collectively the “Products”) in the United States during the term of the License Agreement, and (b) shall provide manufactured finished Product in connection with the commercialization of the Product pursuant to the Supply Agreement (as defined hereunder).

Pursuant to the License Agreement, Licensee shall pay to Napo (a) an upfront payment of $18 million consisting of (i) $16 million paid by Licensee on the Effective Date and (ii) $2 million (the “Holdback Amount”) payable upon satisfaction of the Third Party Replacement MSA Conditions (as defined in the License Agreement) by the six-month anniversary of the Effective Date, and (b) certain milestone payments, in aggregate up to $17 million, with respect to the first occurrence of each of the milestones specified in the License Agreement.

Under the License Agreement, commencing on the day following the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, in the event that Napo or its affiliates obtains regulatory approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the sale of Mytesi for any of the additional indications set forth in the License Agreement, subject to Napo’s compliance with the terms of the License Agreement, Napo will have the unilateral right (but not the obligation) to reacquire from Licensee all rights under the License Agreement, including without limitation the exclusive right to commercialize the Products (the “Buy-Back Option”). To exercise the Buy-Back Option, Napo shall, among other things, make the Buy-Back Option Payment as required under the License Agreement.

The License Agreement shall continue to be in effect until terminated by Licensee; provided, however, in the event Napo exercises the Buy-Back Option, the License Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of all payment obligations under the License Agreement.

The License Agreement includes customary representations and warranties, covenants, and indemnification obligations for a transaction of this nature. In connection with the License Agreement, Future Pak provides a limited guarantee of Licensee’s fulfillment of the milestone payments.

Supply Agreement

Also on the Effective Date, Napo, Licensee and Future Pak entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement (the “Supply Agreement”), pursuant to which, (a) Napo shall, at the request of Licensee, manufacture or have manufactured the Mytesi Product, and supply or have supplied to Licensee the Product in the U.S. (including Puerto Rico), and (b) Licensee shall purchase (i) the Effective Date Product Inventory (as defined in the Supply Agreement) and (ii) new Product to be manufactured under the Supply Agreement, at the applicable Supply Price set forth therein.

The Supply Agreement shall continue to be in effect and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms thereof, shall expire in its entirety upon the expiration or termination of the License Agreement.

The Supply Agreement includes customary representations and warranties, covenants, and indemnification obligations for a transaction of this nature. In connection with the SupplyAgreement, Future Pak provides a limited guarantee of Licensee’s fulfillment of its payment obligations.
