To our shareholders:

I am pleased to invite you to the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the 'Annual General Meeting') of Quotient Limited ('Quotient', the 'Company' or 'we', 'us' and 'our') to be held on October 29, 2021, at 9:00 a.m., local time, at Business Park Terre Bonne B1, Route de Crassier 13, 1262 Eysins, Switzerland. Information about the meeting is presented on the following pages.

Details regarding admission to the meeting and the business that will be conducted are described in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting (the 'AGM Notice') and Proxy Statement.

In accordance with the 'notice and access' rules and regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'SEC'), instead of mailing a printed, paper copy of our proxy materials to each shareholder who holds shares in street name (the 'full set delivery' option), we are furnishing proxy materials to those shareholders over the Internet (the 'notice only' option). A company may use either option, 'notice only' or 'full set delivery,' for all of its shareholders or may use one method for some shareholders and the other method for others. We believe the 'notice only' process expedites shareholders' receipt of proxy materials and reduces the costs and environmental impact of our Annual General Meeting. We will bear the entire cost of the solicitation. On or about September 8, 2021, we will begin mailing a notice (the 'Notice of Availability') to our shareholders containing instructions on how to access online our Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on June 3, 2021 (our 'Annual Report'), vote online, and receive paper copies of these documents for shareholders who so select, as well as a link containing instructions on how to vote by telephone. Our Proxy Statement and the Annual Report are also available at https://quotientbd.com/page/investors.

All shareholders who do not receive a Notice of Availability will receive a printed, paper copy of our proxy materials by mail. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, your vote is important, and we encourage you to review the proxy materials and vote as soon as possible using the instructions provided in the proxy materials. If you received a paper copy of our proxy materials by mail, or you received a Notice of Availability by mail and have opted to receive a paper copy of our proxy materials by mail, please sign, date and mail the proxy card in the envelope provided. You may also vote your shares over the Internet or via a toll-free (in the United States) telephone number contained in the voting instructions included with your proxy materials. Instructions regarding the methods of voting are contained in the Notice of Availability or proxy card.

Thank you for your continued support of Quotient. We look forward to seeing you on October 29, 2021.

Important note regarding the COVID-19 pandemic: As required by our organizational documents, we intend to hold the Annual General Meeting in person. Although you would ordinarily be entitled to attend the Annual General Meeting and vote in person, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, attendance in person may be discouraged or prohibited by government regulations or action or based on general health and safety considerations. Your vote is important and we encourage you to review the proxy materials and vote your shares by proxy as soon as possible prior to the Annual General Meeting.

Sincerely,

Heino von Prondzynski

Chairman of the Board of Directors

PROXY STATEMENT

FOR

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

The Board of Directors (the 'Board') of QUOTIENT LIMITED ('Quotient,' the 'Company,' or 'we', 'us' and 'our') is soliciting proxies for use at the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on October 29, 2021 (the 'Annual Meeting'), and at any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting. A notice of the Annual Meeting and proxy materials will be distributed to shareholders who hold ordinary shares of Quotient as of August 31, 2021, the Record Date (as defined below) for the Annual Meeting, on or about September 8, 2021. Quotient Limited is a limited liability no par value company incorporated under the laws of Jersey, Channel Islands.

GENERAL INFORMATION

What am I voting on?

You will be voting on the following proposals at our Annual Meeting:

to elect eight directors;

to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation paid to our named executive officers;

to re-appoint Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's auditors, ratify their appointment as independent registered public accounting firm and to authorize the directors to determine the fees to be paid to the auditors; and

to transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

What are the recommendations of the Board?

All shares represented by a properly executed proxy will be voted unless the proxy is revoked and, if a choice is specified, your shares will be voted in accordance with that choice. If no choice is specified but the proxy card is signed, the proxy holders will vote your shares according to the recommendations of the Board, which are included in the discussion of each matter later in this proxy statement. The Board recommends that you vote:

FOR the election of each of the eight nominees as directors;

FOR the approval, on a non-binding, advisory basis, of the compensation paid to our named executive officers as described in the 'Compensation Discussion and Analysis' of this proxy statement and the related compensation tables, notes and narrative discussion;

and

FOR the re-appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our auditors, ratification as our independent registered public accounting firm and the authorization of the directors to determine the fees to be paid to the auditors.

In addition, the proxy holders may vote in their discretion with respect to any other matter that properly comes before the Annual Meeting.

Who is entitled to vote?

For each proposal to be voted on, each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each ordinary share. For beneficial owners of ordinary shares held in street name, the record date for the Annual Meeting is the close of business on August 31, 2021 (the 'Record Date'). Shareholders of record on our register of members 48 hours before the time the Annual Meeting is to be held are also entitled to vote. As of the close of business on July 14, 2021, there were 101,527,188 ordinary shares outstanding.

How do I vote by proxy in lieu of attending the Annual Meeting?

If you received a printed, paper copy of our proxy materials by mail, or you received a Notice of Availability by mail and have opted to receive a paper copy of our proxy materials by mail, you may vote by proxy by completing, dating and signing your proxy card and mailing it

Table of Contents

in the envelope provided. You must sign your name exactly as it appears on the proxy card. If you are signing in a representative capacity (for example, as officer of a corporation, guardian, executor, trustee or custodian), you must indicate your name and title or capacity.

If you received a Notice of Availability by mail, you will not receive a printed, paper copy of the proxy materials unless you request to receive one. Instead, the Notice of Availability will instruct you as to how you may access and review all of the important information contained in the proxy materials. The Notice of Availability also instructs you as to how you may submit your proxy on the Internet and contains a link to instructions on how to submit your proxy by telephone. If you received a Notice of Availability by mail and would like to receive a paper copy of our proxy materials, including a proxy card, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials included in the Notice of Availability.

If you vote via the Internet or by telephone, your vote must be received by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 28, 2021. If you vote by Internet or telephone, you should not return your proxy card.

You may also vote in person at the Annual Meeting or you may be represented by another person at the Annual Meeting by executing a proxy designating that person. However, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, attendance in person may be discouraged or prohibited by government regulations or action or based on general health and safety considerations. As a result, we encourage you to vote by proxy using one of the other voting methods described above.

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in 'street name.' The street name holder will provide you with instructions that you must follow in order to have your shares voted.

If you hold your shares in street name and you wish to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a proxy issued in your name from the street name holder. As noted above however, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, attendance in person may be discouraged or prohibited. As a result, we encourage you to vote by proxy using one of the other voting methods described above.

May I change my mind after submitting a proxy?

If you are a shareholder of record, you may revoke your proxy before it is exercised by:

Written notice of revocation to our Head of Legal & Compliance, at Quotient Limited, Business Park Terre Bonne, Route de Crassier 13, 1262 Eysins, Switzerland, and execution of a later dated proxy relating to the same shares, delivered to our Head of Legal & Compliance, at or before the final vote at the meeting; or

Voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you may revoke prior and submit new, voting instructions by contacting your brokerage firm, bank or other holder of record.

What are broker non-votes?

A broker non-vote occurs when the broker that holds your shares in street name is not entitled to vote on a matter without instruction from you and you do not give any instruction. Unless instructed otherwise by you, brokers will not have discretionary authority to vote on any matter other than Resolution 10, which is considered to be routine for these purposes. It is important that you cast your vote for your shares to be represented on all matters.

What is the required vote?

To be approved, Resolutions 1 to 10 require a simple majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting in favor of each Resolution. If a director does not receive a majority of the vote for his or her election, then that director will not be re-elected to the Board and the Board may fill the vacancy with a different person, or the Board may reduce the number of directors to eliminate the vacancy. The vote on Resolution 9 is advisory and is not binding on our Board or the Company. Votes that are withheld with respect to the election of directors and abstentions on the other matters are not counted as votes cast.

What will constitute the quorum for the Annual Meeting?

A quorum will consist of two or more shareholders present in person or by proxy who hold or represent shares between them of not less than 50% of the total shares in issue as of the date of the Annual Meeting.

Table of Contents

How can I attend the Annual Meeting?

As required by our organizational documents, we intend to hold the Annual Meeting in person. Although you would ordinarily be entitled to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, attendance in person may be discouraged or prohibited by government regulations or action or based on general health and safety considerations. As a result, we encourage you to vote by proxy.

If you nevertheless plan to attend the Annual Meeting, whether you are record shareholders (i.e., a person who owns shares registered directly in his or her name with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Quotient's transfer agent) or beneficial owners of shares held in street name, you will need proof of ownership to be admitted to the Annual Meeting.

For beneficial owners of shares held in street name by a broker, bank or other nominee, a recent brokerage statement or letters from the broker, bank or other nominee are examples of proof of ownership. If your shares are held in street name and you want to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a written proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee holding your shares.

Can I access these proxy materials on the Internet?

This proxy statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 (our 'Annual Report') are available at https://quotientbd.com/page/investors.

Can I get hard copies of the proxy materials?

In accordance with rules adopted by the SEC, instead of mailing a printed, paper copy of our proxy materials to our shareholders who hold their shares in street name, we are furnishing proxy materials, including this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report to shareholders, by providing access to these documents on the Internet. Accordingly, on or about September 8, 2021, a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the 'Notice of Availability') will be sent to beneficial owners of our ordinary shares. The Notice of Availability provides you with instructions regarding the following: (1) viewing our proxy materials for the Annual Meeting on the Internet; (2) voting your shares after you have viewed our proxy materials; (3) requesting a paper copy of the proxy materials; and (4) instructing us to send our future proxy materials to you. We believe the delivery options allow us to provide our shareholders with the proxy materials they need, while lowering the cost of the delivery of the materials and reducing the environmental impact of printing and mailing. If you choose to receive future proxy materials by email, you will receive an email next year with instructions containing a link to view those proxy materials and a link to the proxy voting site. Your election to receive proxy materials by email will remain in effect until you terminate it.

In addition, certain holders of record of our ordinary shares will be sent, by mail, this proxy statement and the related proxy card on or about September 8, 2021.

Who pays for this proxy solicitation and how much did it cost?

We will pay the cost for soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting. Quotient will distribute proxy materials and follow-up reminders by mail and electronic means. We have engaged Okapi Partners LLC ('Okapi') at 1212 Avenue of the Americas, 24th Floor, New York, New York 10036 to assist with the solicitation of proxies. We will pay Okapi a fee of $8,500, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Certain Quotient employees, officers, and directors may also solicit proxies by mail, telephone, or personal visits. They will not receive any additional compensation for their services.

We will reimburse brokers, banks, and other nominees for their expenses in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

Per our Corporate Governance Guidelines, it is the sense of the Board of Directors that regular meetings at appropriate intervals are in general desirable for the performance of their responsibilities. In addition to regularly scheduled meetings, additional unscheduled meetings may be called upon appropriate notice at any time to address any special needs. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, the Board met eighteen times including four regularly scheduled meetings, and the audit committee met ten times including four regularly scheduled meetings. The remuneration committee met nine times including four regularly scheduled meetings, and the nominating and corporate governance committee met twelve times including four regularly scheduled meetings, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021. Attendance at Board and committee meetings exceeded 90% and no director attended less than 90% of the aggregate number of such Board and committee meetings for meetings that they were eligible to attend.

Our Board currently has three committees, as described below. Each committee has a separate written charter that is available on Quotient's website at www.quotientbd.com.

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board. Our Board of Directors is currently composed of eight directors. At each annual meeting of our shareholders, each of our directors must 'retire,' and, if they wish to continue to serve as a director, they become subject to re-election to the Board by our shareholders.

We are subject to the listing standards of Nasdaq, which require that, subject to specified exceptions and permitted phase-in periods, each member of a listed company's audit, remuneration and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent. In addition, the listing standards of Nasdaq require that audit committee members satisfy independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the 'Exchange Act') and that the remuneration committee members satisfy independence criteria set forth in Rule 5605(d) of Nasdaq rules. The listing standards of Nasdaq further provide that a director will only qualify as an 'independent director' if, in the opinion of that company's Board, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

In addition, the listing standards of Nasdaq require that a majority of the members of a listed company's Board be independent. Our Board has determined that Messrs. Hallsworth, McDonough, von Prondzynski, Shroff and Wilkerson, Mses. Buckle and Larue, are independent directors under the applicable Nasdaq listing rules. In making these determinations, our Board considered the relationships that each such non-employee director has with our company and all other facts and circumstances that our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares.

As previously announced in our proxy statement filed on July 27, 2020, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the Board evaluated our Board and committee composition, which has resulted in changes effective during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 and previously announced in our annual 2020 proxy statement, to the composition of the Board, the rotation of certain committee members and the appointment of new chairpersons to our remuneration committee and nominating and corporate governance committee. We believe these changes bring a fresh perspective and add new experience and skill sets to the Board and our committees. Unless otherwise noted, the disclosure that follows is based on the current composition of the Board and our committees.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee is composed of Ms. Larue and Messrs. Hallsworth and Shroff, with Mr. Hallsworth serving as chairman of the committee. Our Board has determined that all these committee members meet the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the ExchangeAct and the applicable listing standards of Nasdaq. Our Board has determined that Mr. Hallsworth is an 'audit committee financial expert' within the meaning of SEC regulations and applicable listing standards of Nasdaq. The audit committee met ten times during the year ended March 31, 2021, including four regularly scheduled meetings.

The audit committee's responsibilities include:

appointing, approving the compensation of, and assessing the qualifications, performance and independence of our independent registered public accounting firm;

pre-approving audit and permissible non-audit services, and the terms of such services, to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm;

reviewing the audit plan with the independent registered public accounting firm and members of management responsible for preparing our financial statements;

Our remuneration committee is composed of Messrs. McDonough, von Prondzynski and Shroff, with Mr. Shroff serving as chairman of the committee. Our Board has determined that all these committee members are independent as defined under the applicable listing standards of Nasdaq. The remuneration committee met nine times during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, including four regularly scheduled meetings.

The remuneration committee's responsibilities include:

determining and approving the remuneration of our chief executive officer and other named executive officers;

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our nominating and corporate governance committee is composed of Ms. Buckle and Messrs. von Prondzynski and Wilkerson, with Mr. von Prondzynski serving as chair of the committee. Our Board has determined that these committee members are independent as defined under the applicable listing standards of Nasdaq. The committee met twelve times during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, including four regularly scheduled meetings.

The nominating and corporate governance committee's responsibilities include:

identifying individuals qualified to become members of our Board, consistent with criteria approved by our Board;

Table of Contents

BOARD PRACTICES

To help our shareholders better understand our Board practices, we are including the following description of current practices. The nominating and corporate governance committee periodically reviews these practices.

Size of the Board

Historically, the Board has consisted of eight directors as described in more detail above. Our Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that our Board must consist of a minimum of two directors. The exact number of members on our Board will be determined from time to time by our full Board. The Board appointed Mses. Buckle and Larue, effective as of September 1, 2020 to replace two directors who elected not to stand for re-election at the 2020 annual general meeting of shareholders.

Leadership Structure

Heino von Prondzynski, an independent, non-employee director, serves as the Chairman of the Board. The Board recognizes that it is important to determine an optimal board leadership structure to ensure the independent oversight of management as we continue to grow. We separate the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board in recognition of the differences between the two roles. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for setting our strategic direction, day-to-day leadership, and performance, while the Chairman of the Board provides guidance to the Chief Executive Officer and presides over meetings of the full board of directors. We believe that this separation of responsibilities provides a balanced approach to management of our Board and oversight of us. However, no single leadership model is right for all companies and at all times. The Board recognizes that depending on the circumstances, other leadership models, such as combining the role of Chairman of the Board with the role of Chief Executive Officer, might be appropriate. Accordingly, the Board may periodically review its leadership structure.

Director Independence

The Board believes that a substantial majority of its members should be independent, non-employee directors. Only one member of the Board, Mr. Méndez, who serves as our Chief Executive Officer, is an employee of Quotient. The non-employee directors of the Company are Mses. Buckle and Larue, and Messrs. Hallsworth, McDonough, von Prondzynski, Shroff and Wilkerson. The Board has determined that Messrs. Hallsworth, McDonough, von Prondzynski, Shroff and Wilkerson, Mses. Buckle and Larue, are independent directors under the applicable Nasdaq listing rules. In addition, the Board has determined that Ms. Larue and Messrs. Hallsworth and Shroff, each of whom serves on our audit committee, is independent under Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. In particular, in making such determinations, the Board specifically considered Mr. Shroff's role as managing director of Galen Partners and Mr. Wilkerson's role as senior advisor to Galen Partners and the attribution to each of them of beneficial ownership of shares beneficially owned by Galen Partners, and determined that their service in such roles and the resulting attribution of beneficial ownership of our shares did not hinder their independence under applicable Nasdaq or Exchange Act rules.

The Board has determined that all of the members of the audit committee are financially literate and that Mr. Hallsworth, the chairman of the audit committee, is an 'audit committee financial expert' within the meaning of SEC regulations and applicable listing standards of Nasdaq.

Evaluation of Board Performance

The nominating and corporate governance committee coordinates an annual evaluation process by which the directors evaluate the Board's and its committees' performance and procedures. This self-evaluation leads to a full Board discussion of the results. The committees of the Board each conduct an annual evaluation of their committee's performance and procedures.

As discussed above under 'Meetings of the Board and Committees of the Board', the Board evaluated our Board and committee composition, which resulted in certain changes during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 to our Board committee members and committee chairpersons. The Board further undertook its annual evaluation process during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

Nomination of Directors - Skills and Experience

The nominating and corporate governance committee recommends individuals for membership on the Board. In making its recommendations, the nominating and corporate governance committee considers an individual's independence based on Nasdaq independence requirements and the criteria determined by the Board.

The nominating and corporate governance committee considers not only a candidate's qualities, performance and professional responsibilities, but also the composition of the Board and the challenges and needs of the Board at that time. The Board as a whole is

constituted to be strong in its diversity and collective knowledge of accounting and finance, management and leadership, vision and strategy, business operations, business judgment, crisis management, risk assessment, industry knowledge, corporate governance and global markets.

The culture of the Board enables the Board to operate swiftly and effectively in making key decisions and when facing major challenges. Board meetings are conducted in an environment of trust, confidentiality, open dialogue, mutual respect and constructive commentary.

While the nominating and corporate governance committee does not have a formal policy on Board diversity, it views diversity in its broadest sense, which includes gender, ethnicity, education, experience and leadership qualities. The nominating and corporate governance committee will use the same process and criteria for evaluating all nominees, regardless of who submits the nominee for consideration. In this regard, the nominating and corporate governance committee works with the Board, especially in conjunction with the annual Board and committee evaluations, to determine the appropriate diversity of professional experience, expertise, educational background and other qualifications in light of the Company's business strategies. As a group, our director nominees represent a broad range of these expertise, experience and skills.

Shareholders are encouraged to submit the name of any candidate they believe to be qualified to serve on the Board, together with background information on the candidate, to the chair of the nominating and corporate governance committee. In accordance with procedures set forth in our Memorandum and Articles of Association, shareholders may propose, and the nominating and corporate governance committee will consider, nominees for election to the Board at the next annual general meeting by giving timely written notice to our Head of Legal and Compliance, which must be received at our registered office no later than the close of business on the date that is 90 days before the first anniversary of the last annual general meeting of the Company, or August 1, 2021, and no earlier than the date that is 120 days before the first anniversary of the last annual general meeting of the Company, or July 2, 2021. The notice periods may change in accordance with the procedures set out in our Memorandum and Articles of Association. Any such notice must include the name of the nominee, a biographical sketch and resume, contact information and such other background materials on such nominee as the nominating and corporate governance committee may request.

Executive Sessions

Non-employee directors meet together as a group during each Board meeting, without the Chief Executive Officer or any other employees in attendance. Mr. von Prondzynski, as our Board's Chairman, presides over each executive session of the Board. There is also an executive session during each committee meeting at which committee members meet without the Chief Executive Officer or any other employees in attendance. In addition, as required under Nasdaq listing standards, independent directors must meet together as a group at least twice a year.

Board's Role in Risk Oversight

We face a number of risks, including risks relating to our business, operations, strategic direction and regulatory environment, as well as legal, financial, compliance, liability, information technology, cybersecurity and reputational risks. The Board takes an active role in risk oversight related to the Company both as a full Board and through its committees. While the Company's management is responsible for day-to-day management of the various risks facing the Company, the Board is responsible for monitoring management's actions and decisions. The Board, as apprised by the audit committee, determines that appropriate risk management and mitigation procedures are in place and that senior management takes the appropriate steps to manage all major risks.

Attendance at Shareholder Meetings

The Board does not have a formal policy regarding director attendance at shareholder meetings. The COVID-19 pandemic caused a majority of the directors to cancel their in-person attendance at the 2020 annual general meeting of the shareholders. Mr. von Prondzynski and Mr. Walt attended the annual general meeting of the shareholders.

As required by our organizational documents, we intend to hold the 2021 Annual Meeting in person and all directors are expected to attend the 2021 annual general meeting. However, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, certain of our directors may be unable to attend the meeting in person.

If, after applying these categorical standards and weighing all of the facts and

ADVISORY APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION PAID TO THE COMPANY'S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS (RESOLUTION 9)

Background

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are providing our shareholders with the opportunity to cast a non-binding, advisory vote on the compensation paid to our named executive officers, or a 'say on pay' proposal, as described in greater detail below. We believe it is appropriate to seek the views of our shareholders on our executive compensation program. This vote will take place every year based on the results from the 'say on frequency' vote during the annual general meeting of shareholders held on October 29, 2020.

Summary

Our executive compensation program is designed to focus executive behavior on achievement of both our annual and long-term objectives and strategy as well as align the interests of management to those of our shareholders. Consequently, our executive compensation plan is comprised of four principal elements - salary, benefits, long-term equity interest and cash bonuses based on annual individual and corporate performance. Consistent with our strategic goals, we have designed and implemented a performance-based award that aligns equity compensation with outstanding returns to our shareholders over several years.

When designing our executive compensation program, the remuneration committee periodically reviews commercially available, industry specific compensation data for: (i) companies in the global diagnostics industry; (ii) companies addressing the donor testing market; and (iii) companies in the European biotechnology industry, as a general guide for establishing its compensation practices and structures. The remuneration committee, along with the Board, also reviews and approves corporate objectives used in our executive compensation program to confirm that appropriate goals have been established and tracks performance against them. On an annual basis the remuneration committee reviews tally sheets reflecting each named executive officer's compensation history with respect to each element of compensation.

The COVID-19 global pandemic created a challenging environment for the Company to operate in. Despite these challenges we achieve important milestones with respect to the development and commercialization of MosaiQ, maintained the continuity of our supply network and worked to ensure the safety of our employees. We also made material achievements such as ensuring business continuity during a global pandemic with on-site operations continuing on all locations, development and regulatory approval (including obtaining the CE Mark and the Emergency Use Authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) of the COVID-19 antibody test, settlement of Ortho arbitration and the entry into a new letter agreement providing for milestone payments of up to $67.5 million and a successful equity offering with net proceeds of $ 80.7 million. We believe the compensation paid to our named executive officers in fiscal 2021 reflects our strong pay-for-performance philosophy.

For additional information about our executive compensation program, please refer to the section of this proxy statement entitled 'Compensation Discussion and Analysis' and the related compensation tables, notes and narrative discussion.

Proposal

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are asking our shareholders to vote FOR the approval of the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

'THAT the shareholders approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company's named executive officers, as described in the 'Compensation Discussion and Analysis' section of the Proxy Statement for the Company's 2021 Annual General Meeting and the related compensation tables, notes and narrative discussion.'

Effect of Proposal

The resolution above reflects a non-binding, advisory proposal. The approval or disapproval of this proposal by shareholders will not require our Board or our remuneration committee to take any action regarding our executive compensation practices. The final determination of the compensation of our executive officers remains with our Board and our remuneration committee. Our Board, however, values the opinions of our shareholders as expressed through their votes, as well as through other communications with us. Although the resolution is non-binding, our Board and our remuneration committee will carefully consider the outcome of this advisory vote, as well as shareholder opinions received from other communications, when making future executive compensation decisions.

Required Vote

The approval, on a non-binding, advisory basis, of the compensation paid to our named executive officers as disclosed in the 'Compensation Discussion and Analysis' section of this proxy statement and the related compensation tables, notes and narrative discussion requires the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast at the Annual Meeting. This proposal is considered a non-routine matter under applicable rules. A broker, bank or other nominee may not vote without instructions on this matter, so there may be broker non-votes in connection with this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the result of the vote. If no contrary indication is made, returned proxies will be voted for the proposal.

The Board recommends a vote 'FOR' this proposal. If you complete the enclosed proxy card, unless you direct to the contrary on that card, the shares represented by that proxy will be voted FOR the approval, on a non-binding, advisory basis, of the compensation paid to our named executive officers.

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Seven out of eight of our director nominees are non-employee directors. Five of these non-employee directors are unaffiliated with our significant shareholders: Messrs. Hallsworth, McDonough and von Prondzynski and Mses. Buckle and Larue. We seek to maintain a director compensation program for our non-employee directors to enable us to attract and retain, on a long-term basis, high-caliber non-employee directors. Employee directors do not receive compensation in respect of their service as a director.

Pursuant to our director compensation program in effect from November 1, 2018 to October 31, 2020, the annual retainers were as set out below. As discussed in the notes to the table, the annual retainers for the chairman of our board of directors and all other directors comprised a cash component (except for directors affiliated with our significant shareholders) and an equity award component, and the annual retainers for committee chairpersons and committee members were paid in cash.

All directors other than Mr. Shroff and Mr. Wilkerson are paid $40,000 in cash in twelve monthly installments with the first installment beginning November 30 of each year. Until November 2019, Galen Partners beneficially owned more than 10% of the ordinary shares of the Company and was deemed by the board to be a significant shareholder of the Company. As directors affiliated with Galen Partners, Mr. Shroff and Mr. Wilkerson were not entitled to receive the cash payment of $40,000 under the prior non-employee director compensation program. In lieu of receiving a cash payment of $40,000 going forward, Mr. Shroff and Mr. Wilkerson have agreed to accept this payment in the form of RSUs. Accordingly, Mr. Shroff and Mr. Wilkerson receive $110,000, and all other directors receive $70,000, in the form of RSUs to be issued immediately following each annual general meeting, which vest in four quarterly installments on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each year. $40,000 is paid to all directors in the form of share options to purchase ordinary shares also issued immediately following each annual general meeting and which vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

In connection with the appointment of Mses. Buckle and Larue, on September 1, 2020, the Company granted each share options providing for the right to purchase $100,000 of Quotient's ordinary shares, at a price equal to the closing price of the Company's ordinary shares as reported on the Nasdaq Global Market on the date of grant (the 'Additional Share Options'). The grants of Additional Share Options, which were issued outside of the Company's 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, were approved by the board of directors and the remuneration committee pursuant to the inducement grant exception under Nasdaq Rule 5635(c)(4), as an inducement that is material to Ms. Buckle's and Ms. Larue's joining the Company's board.

Option Awards granted on or after October 31, 2020 vest in full on the first anniversary of the date of grant, on completion of the one year term of a Director. Option Awards granted prior to October 31, 2020 vested in three equal installments on each first, second and third anniversary of the grant date. Options have a term of ten years and will be forfeited if not exercised before the expiration of their term or upon non-reelection of a Non-Employee Director at an Annual General Meeting.

(2)

In certain cases, the option exercise prices are lower than the fair market value of the underlying securities on the date of grant. As part of the preparation for our initial public offering (which occurred in April 2014), the board of directors reviewed the fair value of our ordinary shares at the various dates in recent years when option and share awards were granted. This review resulted in certain instances in the board concluding that the fair value of the underlying securities was higher than the option exercise prices determined at the time. The resulting increase in compensation expense has been reflected in our financial statements.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Executive Summary

Our 'named executive officers' for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 are Franz Walt, Peter Buhler, Jeremy Stackawitz, Edward Farrell and Christopher Lindop. This Compensation Discussion and Analysis explains our executive compensation program as it relates to our 'named executive officers,' whose compensation information is presented in the following tables and discussion in accordance with the SEC rules.

Name

Position

Franz Walt

Chief Executive Officer (until March 31, 2021)

Peter Buhler

Chief Financial Officer (as of February 5, 2020)

Jeremy Stackawitz

Chief Commercial Officer

Edward Farrell

Former Chief Operating Officer (until March 1, 2021)

Christopher Lindop

Former Chief Financial Officer (until February 5, 2020)

Mr. Lindop retired effective as of May 31, 2020. Mr. Farrell notified us on December 21, 2020 that he was resigning as our Chief Operating Officer. Effective March 1, 2021, we placed Mr. Farrell on garden leave to continue as a non-executive employee of the Company until the end of his notice period. Mr. Walt served as our Chief Executive Officer until March 31, 2021. On April 1, 2021 he was succeeded by Mr. Méndez.

Our mission is to become the global leader for the development, manufacture and sale of transfusion diagnostics (blood grouping, serological disease screening and molecular disease screening), leveraging our proprietary MosaiQ™ technology platform. As MosaiQ is demonstrated to work for transfusion diagnostics, we will also seek to expand its utility elsewhere in the broader diagnostics market.

To achieve our mission, we must recruit, retain and motivate exceptional leaders with the ability to deliver superior results for our shareholders. The skills and knowledge built by the management team around MosaiQ, which represents a novel and highly disruptive technology platform for the broader diagnostics field, are unique and increasingly will become highly attractive to potential competitors. Retention of existing senior management and recruitment of additional senior managers to augment the existing team is therefore critical. Our executive compensation program is instrumental in achieving this objective.

Our executive compensation program is designed to focus executive behavior on achievement of both our annual and long-term objectives and strategy as well as align the interests of management to those of our shareholders. Consequently, our executive compensation plan is comprised of four principal elements - salary, benefits, long-term equity interest and cash bonuses based on annual individual and corporate performance. Consistent with our strategic goals, we have designed and implemented a performance-based award that aligns equity compensation with outstanding returns to our shareholders over several years.

Executive compensation is discussed in greater detail below. The remuneration committee will continue to evaluate our overall compensation structure and awards to ensure they are: (i) reflective of the performance of our executive officers and the Company; and (ii) consistent with our compensation objectives.

Roles of the Remuneration Committee

General

It is the responsibility of the remuneration committee to administer the Company's compensation practices, to ensure they are competitive, financially prudent and include incentives designed to appropriately drive performance. To achieve this, the remuneration committee periodically reviews commercially available, industry specific compensation data for: (i) companies in the global diagnostics industry; (ii) companies addressing the donor testing market; and (iii) companies in the European biotechnology industry, as a general guide for establishing its compensation practices and structures. The remuneration committee, along with the board of directors, also reviews and approves corporate objectives used in our executive compensation program to confirm that appropriate goals have been established and tracks performance against them and that compensation arrangements do not encourage excessive risk-taking. On an annual basis the remuneration committee reviews tally sheets reflecting each named executive officer's compensation history with respect to each element of compensation.

25

Table of Contents

The remuneration committee conducts an annual review of performance and compensation during the first quarter of each fiscal year for the purpose of determining the compensation of named executive officers. As part of this review, the CEO submits recommendations to the remuneration committee relating to the compensation of the named executive officers (other than the CEO). Following a review of these recommendations, the remuneration committee approves the compensation of these named executive officers, with such modifications to the CEO's recommendations as the remuneration committee considers appropriate.

The remuneration committee's review of the CEO's compensation is subject to separate procedures. With input from members of the entire board, other than the CEO, the Chairman and the remuneration committee evaluate the CEO's performance and review the evaluation with him. Based on that evaluation and review, the remuneration committee then determines the CEO's compensation. The CEO is excused from meetings of the remuneration committee during voting or deliberations regarding his compensation.

Peer Group Companies

The remuneration committee seeks to identify an executive compensation peer group of approximately fifteen to twenty companies that may compete with the Company for executive talent ('Peer Group Companies'). The remuneration committee has focused on creating a peer group that:

Represented companies working in the global diagnostics industry, companies addressing the donor testing market or companies in the European biotechnology industry;

Contains a mix of pre-commercial development companies and some commercial stage companies;

Captures comparable companies in terms of employee numbers and market capitalization; or

Have achieved or expect to achieve a growth profile comparable to that expected for the Company.

With the assistance of WTW, the remuneration committee's independent compensation consultant, a full review of the peer group was completed in March 2020. Based on the above criteria, the following companies were included in the peer group:

Company

Product Focus

Accelerate Diagnostics

In vitro diagnostics for hospital acquired and drug resistant infections

BioCartis Group NV

Molecular diagnostics

Cerus Corp

Pathogen inactivation for donor blood, plasma and platelets

As noted above, the remuneration committee retained WTW as its independent compensation consultant. WTW does not perform any other consulting work or other services for the Company, reports directly to the remuneration committee and takes direction from the Chairman of the remuneration committee. The remuneration committee has assessed the independence of WTW pursuant to the rules prescribed by the SEC and has concluded that no conflict of interest existed in the financial year ended March 31, 2021 or currently exists that would prevent WTW from serving as an independent consultant to the remuneration committee.

Executive Compensation Programs

Overview and Objectives

Our executive compensation program for our named executive officers for fiscal years 2021 and 2022, each an Executive Compensation Program, was adopted on May 19, 2020 with respect to fiscal 2021 and May 21, 2021 with respect to fiscal 2022. Each year, the remuneration committee and the board of directors review the Executive Compensation Program for our named executive officers for the fiscal year to ensure that it is designed to achieve the following objectives:

Focus executive behavior on achievement of our annual and long-term strategic objectives,

Provide a competitive compensation package that enables the Company to attract and retain, on a long-term basis, talented executives,

Provide a total compensation structure that the remuneration committee believes is at least comparable with the total compensation structure of Peer Group Companies for which we would compete for talent and which consists of a mix of base salary, equity and cash incentives, and

Align the interests of management and shareholders by providing management with long-term incentives through equity ownership.

The remuneration committee will continue to review the Executive Compensation Program in future years to ensure that it is closely aligned with the interests of shareholders and reflects our business needs.

Each Executive Compensation Program has four principal elements, namely base salary, benefits, short-term incentives and long-term incentives. A brief description of each element and their purpose at the Company is described below:

Compensation Element

Description

Purpose

Base salary

Fixed cash compensation based on role, job scope, experience, qualification and performance

To compensate for individual technical and leadership competencies required for a specific role and to provide economic security. Notice periods for named executive officers vary between two and 12 months.

Benefits

Competitive health, life assurance, disability and retirement benefits

To promote health and wellness in the workforce and to provide competitive retirement planning and saving opportunities. Benefits vary depending on local employment practices and may include private health coverage, life insurance, a defined contribution pension scheme and/or provision of a company car. There are no enhanced benefits for named executive officers.

Short-term incentive

Annual cash incentive opportunity payable based on achievement of corporate, business unit and individual objectives

To incentivize management to meet and exceed annual performance metrics and deliver on commitments to shareholders.

Long-term incentive

Annual equity award

To incentivize executive officers to increase shareholder value, reward long-term corporate performance and promote employee commitment through share ownership. Further details regarding long-term incentives can be found below.

Our objective is to target total direct compensation for our named executive officers, including the annualized value of the incentive awards that are proposed to be granted in fiscal 2022 as part of our Executive Compensation Program, as follows: Base Salary & Benefits -35%; Short-term Incentive -25%; and Long-Term Incentive - 40%. The Long-Term Incentive mix can be found below.

The amounts and mix attributable to base salary, short-term incentives and long-term incentives are determined by reference to market norms. Our aim is to align individual compensation with the objectives of the applicable Executive Compensation Program. While executive

27

Table of Contents

compensation mix is evaluated on an annual basis, we do not adhere to a rigid formula when determining the actual mix of compensation elements. Instead, our current policy is to balance the short-term and long-term focus of our compensation elements to reward short-term performance while emphasizing long-term value creation. These objectives are achieved by placing considerable weight on long-term, equity-based compensation while offering cash and short-term compensation to attract and retain executive talent.

The primary objective of our compensation philosophy is to design and support total remuneration packages aligned with strong business performance and long-term value creation for our shareholders. Each Executive Compensation Program in particular is designed with specific emphasis on accountability for the performance of the MosaiQ development and commercialization program in the short-term and shareholder return over the longer term. This alignment is created through several mechanisms:

Compensation Mechanism

Methodology

Pay Positioning

To attract and retain the best executives, all components of executive compensation are targeted between the market's median and 75th percentile.

Performance Target Setting

We set goals that we consider to be ambitious but achievable for ourselves and for the Company aligned with our commitment to building long-term sustainable value for our shareholders.

Compensation Elements

Base Salary

Sets baseline pay level.

Annual Incentive Plan

Annual incentive payment that rewards performance relative to annual financial goals and/or MosaiQ development goals.

Stock Options, RSUs & PSUs

Long-term incentive with a three-year vesting period that rewards performance that enhances shareholder value, with PSUs tied to long term financial targets and cliff-vesting period.

Compensation Mix

Our compensation mix is weighted toward variable pay elements and long-term incentive pay elements

By applying the above methodologies, named executive officers are compensated at between the market's median and 75th percentile when we meet our performance targets, deliver on the expectations we communicate to our shareholders and drive share price appreciation. Should our performance exceed expectations, our executives will be compensated above target, and vice versa. The significant weighting of long-term incentives ensures that the primary focus of our named executives is sustained long-term performance, while our short-term incentives motivate consistent annual achievement.

Long-Term Incentive Awards

We design our long-term incentive awards to:

• Align management's compensation opportunities with the interests of our shareholders;

• Provide long-term compensation opportunities consistent with market practice; and

• Incentivize and reward long-term value creation.

To achieve these objectives for fiscal 2022, the remuneration committee revised the mix of equity awards for our named executive officers. In fiscal 2022, the total award value of long-term incentives expected to be granted to our management team including our Chief Executive Officer and other named executive officers, will be allocated as follows: 50% PSUs, 30% RSUs and 20% Stock Options.

The remuneration committee is responsible in its use of equity as long-term incentive compensation and regularly monitors the use of equity compensation for executives and the Company as a whole from a competitive standpoint. The remuneration committee believes that our equity awards, which in fiscal 2022 emphasizes performance shares for our most senior employees, including all of our named executive officers, reflect a strong focus on pay for performance in support of delivering on our corporate objectives.

Approach to Performance Share Awards

The remuneration committee has included an annual grant of performance shares to our senior employees, including our named executive officers. Performance shares encourage a long-term view and reinforce the link between financial results and rewards. Our performance shares in fiscal 2022 will be based on a single three-year performance period and reward financial performance during that period. The value that they provide depends on the level of achievement of predefined performance goals. The remuneration committee will determine the payout under the agreed performance measure. No performance shares will be earned if a specified minimum performance level is not achieved. For performance above the threshold level, payment will vary with actual performance achieved, up to a maximum payment of 1.5 times the target

28

Table of Contents

level. Determination of the shares payable pursuant to each award is made after the end of the performance period. Going forward we expect to grant new performance share awards each year.

Fiscal 2021 Executive Compensation

Based on our assessment of the performance of the named executive officers and our compensation philosophy as described in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, and to recognize the high level of performance of these individuals and their importance to the Company, we took the following actions regarding fiscal 2021 compensation:

On January 3, 2020, we entered into a Transition, Separation and Consultancy Agreement with Mr. Lindop in connection with his retirement, pursuant to which, in recognition of Mr. Lindop's service to us and for providing the services of Chief Financial Officer through February 5, 2020 and Executive Vice President through his retirement date of May 31, 2020, Mr. Lindop received a single cash payment of $420,000 (equal to 12 months base salary). In addition, the agreement provides that all unvested options held by Mr. Lindop that were scheduled to vest within 12 months following his retirement date remain outstanding and vest and become exercisable on their regular scheduled vesting dates. All other unvested options were forfeited and all vested options remain exercisable until May 31, 2021. Furthermore, all unvested RSUs held by Mr. Lindop that were scheduled to vest within 12 months following his retirement date remain outstanding and vest on their regular scheduled vesting dates. All other unvested RSUs were forfeited.

On May 19, 2020, we:

Fiscal 2022 Executive Compensation

Based on our assessment of the performance of the named executive officers and our compensation philosophy as described in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, and to recognize the high level of performance of these individuals and their importance to the Company, we took the following actions regarding fiscal 2022 compensation:

On February 23, 2021, we entered into a Transition Agreement with Mr. Walt in connection with his retirement, pursuant to which, in recognition of Mr. Walt's service to us and for providing the services of Chief Executive Officer and/or an Executive through his retirement date of May 24, 2021 and for providing consulting services to Quotient for up to 18 months following the retirement date to support the new Chief Executive Officer and to consult on special initiatives or other matters that may arise, Mr. Walt received a single cash payment of $1,125,000 (equal to 18 months base salary). Mr. Walt will be subject to non-competition restrictions during the 18-month consultancy. In addition, the Transition Agreement provides that all options to acquire our ordinary shares held by Mr. Walt that are unvested as of the retirement date and that are scheduled to vest within 12 months following the retirement date will remain outstanding and vest and become exercisable on their regularly scheduled vesting dates after the retirement date; all other options held by Mr. Walt that are unvested as of the retirement date will be forfeited; and all options held by Mr. Walt that are vested as of the retirement date will remain exercisable until May 24, 2022.

On February 23, 2021, we entered into an Employment Agreement with Mr. Méndez, which sets forth the terms and conditions under which Mr. Méndez will serve in the position of Chief Executive Officer. The agreement provides for a base salary of CHF 750,000 per annum approximately $815,040 based on the exchange rate in effect on July 22, 2021; eligibility to receive employee benefits that are customary for other senior executives of the Company located in Switzerland; eligibility to receive a discretionary annual cash bonus of up to CHF 750,000 based on the achievement of performance targets determined by the board, payable at no less than 80% of Mr. Méndez's base salary for our fiscal year 2022; subject to certain conditions, our payment to Mr. Méndez's previous employer, Quest Diagnostics Incorporated ('Quest'), of $1,800,000 in a lump sum, in satisfaction of an obligation owed by Mr. Méndez to Quest; subject to the condition that Mr. Méndez forfeits $960,000 cash bonus due to him by Quest as of March 31, 2021, our payment to him of a lump sum amount equivalent to such cash bonus; and our payment to him of a sign on bonus equal to $1,065,000.

In addition, in connection with the appointment of Mr. Méndez as our Chief Executive Officer, we granted the following awards to Mr. Méndez, which were issued outside of our 2014 Stock Incentive Plan and were approved by the remuneration committee and by the board of directors pursuant to the inducement grant exception under Nasdaq Rule 5635(c)(4), as an inducement that is material to Mr. Méndez's entering into employment with us, effective on or about start date (i) RSUs equal in value to $3,333,333 based on the closing sales price of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Global Market on the date of grant (the 'Sign-On RSUs'); and (ii) options equal in value to $1,666,667 with an exercise price equal to the closing sales price of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Global Market on the date of grant (the 'Sign-On Share Options'); and on or about the start date (i) RSUs equal in value to $600,000, based on the closing sales price of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Global Market on the date of grant (the 'First Annual RSUs'); (ii) options equal in value to $400,000 with an exercise price equal to the closing sales price of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Global Market on the date of grant (the 'First Annual Share Options'); and (iii) performance-based restricted share units ('PSUs') equal in value to $1,000,000 based on the closing sales price of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Global Market on the date of grant (the 'First Annual PSUs').

The RSUs, options and PSUs vest as following:

The Sign-On RSUs vest in three years, with 50% vesting on the first anniversary of the date of grant, and 25% vesting on each of the second and third anniversaries of the date of grant.

The Sign-On Share Options, the First Annual RSUs and the First Annual Share Options vest in three equal annual instalments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant.

The First Annual PSUs will vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant up to a maximum of 150% of the target fair market value of the First Annual PSUs, based on the level of achievement of specific performance criteria.

On March 18, 2021 we decided to increase the base salary of Mr. Buhler to CHF 408,000, approximately $443,382 based on the exchange rate in effect on July 22, 2021, effective May 1, 2021.

On May 21, 2021, we decided to grant on June 10, 2021 an annual equity award to Messrs. Buhler and Stackawitz equal to a value of approximately $625,000 each. The award is divided into PSUs (50%), RSUs (30%) and Stock Options (20%). The exact number of PSUs and RSUs issued is based on the companies closing stock price on the day prior to the date of grant and the exact number of stock options determined using the applicable Black-Scholes value. The RSUs and Stock Options will vest in three equal annual installments beginning on June 10, 2022. The PSUs will vest, if at all, at the end of a three-year performance period based upon the success of certain financial performance objectives.

Following the most recent shareholder advisory vote on executive compensation, the Company has reviewed its use of long-term incentives as set out previously. In fiscal 2022, the Company introduced the use of Performance Based long-term incentives to better align executive interests with those of shareholders. The Company also reviewed the time vesting of long-term incentives with all equity awards granted in fiscal 2022 to date having a three-year vesting period.

Our executive compensation is discussed in greater detail in the sections that follow. The remuneration committee will continue to evaluate our overall compensation structure and awards to ensure they are reflective of the performance of our executive officers and our Company and consistent with our compensation objectives.

Employment Agreements

Franz Walt

CEO Employment Agreement

On May 24, 2018, we entered into an employment agreement with our previous Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Walt, which we subsequently amended on November 20, 2018 and July 2, 2019. The agreement, as amended, had a two-year term, subject to earlier termination upon three months' prior written notice by either party, and renewed automatically for an additional twelve months, subject to either party giving the other party at least three months' written notice that the term of the agreement shall not be extended.

The agreement provided for a base salary of CHF 750,000 per annum; eligibility to receive an annual cash bonus of up to CHF 1,125,000 based on the achievement of performance targets determined by the board; subject to the receipt of certain shareholder approvals, a grant of (a) 91,743 RSUs (equal in value to approximately $600,000, based on the closing sale price of the Company's ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Global Market on May 24, 2018 of $6.54 per share) and (b) options to purchase 45,872 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $6.54 per share, which grants subsequently occurred on October 31, 2018; and reimbursement of incremental costs incurred by Mr. Walt when his spouse travels with him to Eysins, Switzerland. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay any Swiss social charges incurred by Mr. Walt in relation to his employment agreement.

The RSUs vested in 12 equal monthly installments beginning on the first monthly anniversary of May 24, 2018. The options vested in two equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of May 24, 2018.

If we terminated Mr. Walt's employment agreement without cause (as defined in the employment agreement), Mr. Walt's RSUs and options would vest and, in the case of options, become exercisable, in accordance with their terms, and the Company would pay to Mr. Walt; (i) all accrued but unpaid base salary through the date of termination of Mr. Walt's employment and any unpaid or unreimbursed expenses incurred by Mr. Walt in the performance of his duties; (ii) the base salary for the remainder of the term of the agreement in equal monthly installments; and (iii) a pro rata portion of the annual bonus for the year of termination. The RSUs and options would also fully vest and, in the case of options, become exercisable, in accordance with their terms, upon a change in control.

We agreed to indemnify Mr. Walt to the maximum extent permitted by our organizational documents and applicable law for any acts or decisions made in good faith while performing services for us.

Mr. Walt resigned from his position as our Chief Executive Officer, effective as of April 1, 2021. Mr. Walt served as an executive employee of our company until he retired on May 24, 2021. Mr. Walt has agreed to be available to provide consultancy services to us to support the new Chief Executive Officer and on special initiatives or other matters that may arise for up to 18 months after his retirement date.

The grants, which were issued outside of our 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, were approved by the board and the remuneration committee of the board pursuant to the inducement grant exception under Nasdaq Rule 5635(c)(4), as an inducement that was material to Mr. Buhler's entering into employment with us. The RSUs and options vest in three equal instalmentson each first, second and third anniversary of the grant date. The options have a term of ten years. The options will be forfeited if not exercised before the expiration of their term. In addition, in the event Mr. Buhler's employment is terminated, any RSUs or options not vested shall be forfeited upon termination.

We have also entered into a CoC agreement with Mr. Méndez and Ms. Bonasso. We had previously entered into CoC agreements with our former executive officer Mr. Farrell.

2012 Plan

We adopted the Enterprise Management Plan, or the 2012 Plan, to enhance our ability to attract, retain and motivate employees expected to make important contributions to our Company by providing them with equity ownership opportunities and performance-based incentives. All of our employees were eligible to be granted share options under the 2012 Plan. The 2012 Plan was administered by our board. Subject to certain conditions, the 2012 Plan permits grants of enterprise management incentive options, or EMI options, under the terms of Schedule 5 to the UK Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (or ITEPA) for UK-based employees.

Share options granted pursuant to the 2012 Plan may be exercised upon the occurrence of certain events, including among other events, (i) in a sale of any shares of our share capital, which confers more than 50% of the total voting rights of all our issued shares; (ii) in the sale of all or substantially all of the undertakings of our Company and our subsidiaries, and (iii) in the event of a listing of our shares on any 'Recognized Investment Exchange' as defined in Section 841(a) of the Corporation Taxes Act 2009. In the event our shares are listed, an option may be exercised, in three equal installments, on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of the grant. Options must be exercised during an employee's term of employment or service or within 40 days of termination of employment or service (or within one year in the case of termination on account of a participant's death). The options lapse after specified periods upon the occurrence of applicable events, including, forty days after (i) the sale of any shares of our share capital which confers more than 50% of the total voting rights of all our issued shares or (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the undertakings of our Company and our subsidiaries.

The maximum term of an option award is ten years.

Each option grant was documented through an option agreement. The exercise price per share of all options was determined by our board at the time of the grant.

Awards are non-transferable and our board retains discretion to amend, modify or terminate any outstanding award. Awards may be accelerated to become immediately exercisable in full or in part upon approval of our board.

In the event of certain changes in our capitalization, the number of shares available for issuance under the 2012 Plan, as well as the exercise price per share of each outstanding option, may be appropriately adjusted by our board. The 2012 Plan provides for certain exchange rights in the event of change in control and provides for conditional exercise in connection with a court-ordered reorganization of our Company or our amalgamation with any other company or companies.

As of March 31, 2021, under the plan there were 163,715 ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, at a weighted-average exercise price of $2.90 per ordinary share.

Certain of our prior filings with the SEC referred to the 2012 Plan as the 2013 Plan. In this proxy statement, we refer to the 2012 Plan as such because the first awards granted thereunder occurred in 2012.

2014 Plan

Our board and our shareholders have approved the 2014 Plan. The 2014 Plan provides us flexibility with respect to our ability to attract and retain the services of qualified employees, officers, directors, consultants and other service providers upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the successful conduct and development of our business depends, and to provide additional incentives to such persons to devote their effort and skill to the advancement and betterment of our Company, by providing them an opportunity to participate in the ownership of our Company and thereby have an interest in its success and increased value.

We have reserved an aggregate of 5,479,688 ordinary shares for issuance under the 2014 Plan, which includes 3,550,000 ordinary shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the terms of the 2014 Plan, as amended, and 1,929,688 ordinary shares reserved for issuance as a result of automatic annual increases through April 1, 2021, as discussed further below. This number is subject to adjustment in the event of a recapitalization, share split, share consolidation, reclassification, share dividend or other change in our capital structure. To the extent that an award terminates, or expires for any reason, then any shares subject to the award may be used again for new grants. However, shares which are (i) not issued or delivered as a result of the net settlement of outstanding options or stock appreciation rights, or SARs, (ii) used to pay the exercise price related to outstanding options, (iii) used to pay withholding taxes related to outstanding options or SARs or (iv) repurchased on the open market with the proceeds from an option exercise, will not be available for re-grant under the 2014 Plan.

The number of ordinary shares reserved for issuance will automatically increase on April 1 of each year, from April 1, 2015 through April 1, 2023, by the lesser of 0.75% of the total number of our ordinary shares outstanding on March 31 of the preceding year, or such smaller amount as determined by our board. As at April 1, 2021, an additional 1,929,688 ordinary shares have been reserved for issuance under the 2014 Plan as a result of automatic increases. The maximum number of shares that may be issued upon the exercise of incentive share options under the 2014 Plan is 5,479,688 shares.

Table of Contents

The 2014 Plan permits us to make grants of (i) incentive share options pursuant to Section 422 of the Code and (ii) non-qualified share options. Incentive share options may only be issued to our employees. Non-qualified share options may be issued to our employees, directors, consultants and other service providers. The option exercise price of each option granted pursuant to the 2014 Plan will be determined by our remuneration committee and may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the ordinary shares on the date of grant, subject to certain exceptions. The term of each option will be fixed by our remuneration committee and may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. All option grants under the 2014 Plan are made pursuant to a written option agreement.

The 2014 Plan permits us to sell or make grants of restricted shares. Restricted shares may be sold or granted to our employees, directors, consultants and other service providers (or of any current or future parent or subsidiary of our Company). Restricted shares issued under the 2014 Plan is sold or granted pursuant to a written restricted shares purchase agreement.

The 2014 Plan also permits us to issue SARs. SARs may be issued to our employees, directors, consultants and other service providers. The base price per share of ordinary shares covered by each SAR may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the ordinary shares on the date of grant, subject to certain exceptions. SAR grants under the 2014 Plan are made pursuant to a written SAR agreement.

Further, the 2014 Plan permits us to issue RSUs. RSUs may be issued to our employees, directors, consultants and other service providers. RSU grants under the 2014 Plan are made pursuant to a written RSU agreement.

As of March 31, 2021, 428 employees and directors were eligible to participate in the 2014 Plan.

The 2014 Plan is administered by our remuneration committee, which has the authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the 2014 Plan. In particular, the remuneration committee has the authority to determine the persons to whom, and the time or times at which, incentive share options, nonqualified share options, restricted shares, SARs or RSUs shall be granted, the number of shares to be represented by each option agreement or covered by each restricted share purchase agreement, SAR agreement or RSU agreement and the exercise price of such options and the base price of such SARs. In addition, our remuneration committee has the authority to accelerate the exercisability or vesting of any award, and to determine the specific terms, conditions and restrictions of each award. The remuneration committee will be composed exclusively of individuals intended to be, to the extent provided by Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, independent directors.

Unless provided otherwise within each written option agreement, restricted share purchase agreement, SAR agreement or RSU agreement as the case may be, the vesting of all options, restricted share, SARs and RSUs granted under the 2014 Plan shall accelerate automatically in the event of a 'change in control' (as defined in the 2014 Plan) effective as of immediately prior to the consummation of the change in control unless such equity awards are to be assumed by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) or equity awards of comparable value are to be issued in exchange therefor or the equity awards granted under the 2014 Plan are to be replaced by the acquiring entity with other incentives under a new incentive program containing such terms and provisions as our remuneration committee in its discretion may consider equitable.

Our board may from time to time alter, amend, suspend or terminate the 2014 Plan in such respects as our board of Directors may deem advisable, provided that no such alteration, amendment, suspension or termination shall be made which shall substantially affect or impair the rights of any participant under any awards previously granted without such participant's consent.

No awards may be granted under the 2014 Plan after April 24, 2024.

As of March 31, 2021, there were 1,530,490 ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, at a weighted-average exercise price of $8.16 per ordinary share and 902,409 RSUs outstanding under the plan.

The audit committee's responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.

In this context, the audit committee has reviewed Quotient's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 and has met and held discussions with management and Ernst & Young LLP ('E&Y'), the Company's independent registered public accountants. Management represented to the audit committee that Quotient's consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2021 were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the audit committee discussed the consolidated financial statements with E&Y. The audit committee also discussed with E&Y the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Accounting Oversight Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The audit committee received the written disclosures and letter from E&Y required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding E&Ys communications with the audit committee concerning its independence, and the audit committee discussed with E&Y the accounting firm's independence.

Based upon the audit committee's discussions with management and E&Y and the audit committee's review of the representation of management and the report of E&Y to the audit committee, the audit committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in Quotient's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, filed with the SEC.

The audit committee also considered whether non-audit services provided by E&Y were compatible with maintaining their independence and concluded that such non-audit services did not affect their independence.

Respectfully submitted,

Independent Registered Public Accountants' Fees

Review of the Company's Audited Financial Statements for the Fiscal Years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

The audit committee approves Ernst & Young LLP's and its affiliates audit and non-audit services in advance as required under Sarbanes-Oxley and SEC rules. Before the commencement of each fiscal year, the audit committee appoints the independent auditor to perform audit services that we expect to be performed for the fiscal year and appoints the auditor to perform audit-related, tax and other permitted non-audit services. In addition, our audit committee approves the terms of the engagement letter to be entered into by us with the independent auditor. The audit committee has also delegated to its chairman the authority, from time to time, to pre-approve audit-related and non-audit services not prohibited by law to be performed our independent auditors and associated fees, provided that the chairman shall report any decisions to pre-approve such audit-related and non-audit services and fees to our full audit committee at its next regular meeting.

The table below sets forth the fees paid to Ernst & Young LLP over the past two years in connection with its work for us. All such audit, audit-related and tax services were pre-approved by the audit committee, which concluded that the provision of such services by Ernst & Young LLP was compatible with the maintenance of that firm's independence in the conduct of its auditing functions.

Fees billed by Ernst & Young LLP for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

Table of Contents

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information relating to the beneficial ownership of our ordinary shares as of July 14, 2021 for:

each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our outstanding ordinary shares;

each of our directors and director nominees;

each of our executive officers, including our NEOs; and

all directors, director nominees and executive officers, including our NEOs, as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules. In general, under these rules a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares voting power or investment power with respect to such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security within 60 days of July 14, 2021. Except as otherwise indicated, and subject to applicable community property laws, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all ordinary shares held by that person.

Ordinary shares that a person has the right to acquire within 60 days of July 14, 2021 are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of such person's holdings, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person, except with respect to the percentage ownership of all directors and executive officers as a group. The beneficial ownership percentage of each shareholder is calculated on the basis of 101,527,188 ordinary shares outstanding as of July 14, 2021.

Except as indicated in footnotes to this table, we believe that the shareholders named in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all ordinary shares shown to be beneficially owned by them, based on information provided to us by such shareholders.

Unless otherwise indicated below, the address for each beneficial owner listed is c/o Quotient Limited, 28 Esplanade, St Helier, JE2 3QA, Jersey, Channel Islands.
