(b) No Partner listed on Exhibit A to this Distribution Plan (collectively, the “Non-Affiliate Partners”) is, and at no time in the past three months has any such Partner been, an “affiliate” of the Issuer within the meaning of paragraph (a)(1) of Rule 144. The account information for each Non-Affiliate Partner has been or will be provided to Jefferies in advance of the Distribution Date (as defined below).

(c) The General Partner listed on Exhibit B to this Distribution Plan (the “Affiliate Partner”) may be deemed to be an “affiliate” of the Issuer. NSV acknowledges that the Stock to be distributed to the Affiliate Partner will continue to be restricted securities under Rule 144, notwithstanding the Distribution.

(d) NSV agrees to complete, execute and deliver to Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, counsel for NSV, and to Jefferies a legend removal representation letter substantially in the form of Exhibit C to this Distribution Plan prior to the Distribution Date. NSV further agrees to

arrange for the issuance of a legal opinion to the Issuer’s transfer agent authorizing the removal of any legends from the Stock to be distributed to the Partners listed on Exhibit A and Exhibit B to this Distribution Plan and to take such other actions as are necessary to cause the removal of such legends.

1.8. There are no legal, contractual or regulatory restrictions applicable to NSV or NSV’s affiliates as of the date hereof that would prohibit NSV from entering into this Distribution Plan or prohibit the Distribution pursuant to this Distribution Plan. The execution and delivery of this Distribution Plan by NSV and the transactions contemplated by this Distribution Plan have been duly authorized by NSV and will not contravene any provision of applicable law or any agreement or other instrument binding on NSV or any of NSV’s affiliates or any judgment, order or decree of any governmental body, agency or court having jurisdiction over NSV or NSV’s affiliates.

1.9. NSV has consul ted with NSV’s own advisors as to the legal, tax, business, financial and related aspects of, and has not relied upon Jefferies or any person affiliated with Jefferies in connection with, NSV’s adoption and implementation of this Distribution Plan. Jefferies has made no representation and has no obligation with respect to whether this Distribution Plan or the transactions contemplated hereby qualify for the affirmative defense provided by Rule 10b5-1. NSV acknowledges that Jefferies is not acting as a fiduciary of or an advisor to NSV.

1.10. As of the date hereof, NSV has no other outstanding contract, instruction or plan that is intended to qualify for the affirmative defense under Rule 10b5-1(c)(1) for transactions in the Issuer’s securities, including the Stock, on the open market, other than the Existing Plan. NSV agrees, until the date this Distribution Plan has been terminated, that NSV shall not (i) enter into a binding contract with respect to the purchase, sale or distribution of Issuer securities with another broker, dealer or financial institution (each, a “Financial Institution”), (ii) instruct another Financial Institution to purchase, sell or distribute securities of the Issuer, or (iii) adopt a plan for trading with respect to the Issuer’s securities other than this Distribution Plan, in each case, without prior notice to Jefferies.

1.11. If this Distribution Plan is a single trade arrangement as defined in Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(ii)(E) (“Single Trade Plan”), NSV has not entered into any other Single Trade Plan during the prior 12-month period, and NSV agrees not to enter into any other Single Trade Plan during the 12-month period following the date hereof. This restriction will survive termination of this Distribution Plan.

1.12 (a) NSV agrees to make all filings, if any, required under Sections 13(d), 13(g) and 16 of the Exchange Act and any similar foreign law, rules or regulations in a timely manner, to the extent any such filings are applicable to NSV.

(b) NSV agrees that NSV shall at all times prior to the date this Distribution Plan has been terminated, in connection with the performance of this Distribution Plan, comply with all applicable laws, including, without limitation, Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

1.12. (a) NSV represents and warrants that the Stock to be distributed pursuant to this Distribution Plan is currently eligible for sale by NSV under Rule 144(b)(2), and would be currently eligible for sale by the Non-Affiliate Partners under Rule 144(b)(1) if NSV had previously distributed such Stock on a pro rata basis, without consideration, to the Partners.

(b) NSV agrees not to take, and agrees to cause any person or entity with which NSV would be required to aggregate sales of the Issuer’s securities pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) or (e) of Rule 144 not to take, any action that would cause the Distribution hereunder not to meet all applicable requirements of Rule 144.

(c) NSV agrees to comply with Rule 144, including without limitation to the extent that Rule 144 may require NSV to file, amend and/or supplement one or more Forms 144 with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time during the Distribution or prior to the termination of this Distribution Plan.

1.13. NSV acknowledges and agrees that NSV does not have, and shall not attempt to exercise, any influence over how, when or whether to effect the Distribution pursuant to this Distribution Plan.

1.14. NSV represents and warrants that it is not subject to the insider trading policy of the Issuer, including any blackout periods applicable to the Stock.

Article II
Implementation of the Distribution Plan

2.1. NSV hereby appoints Jefferies as its agent to effect the Distribution. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Distribution Plan, Jefferies hereby accepts such appointment.

2.2. (a) Subject to Section 2.2(c) below, Jefferies shall initiate the transfers from the Plan Account (as defined below) to effect the Distribution on or as soon as practicable after July 7, 2023 (the “Distribution Date”).

(b) In accordance with Section 2.2(c), Jefferies will initiate transfers to the Partners effective on or as soon as practicable after the Distribution Date, all Stock in the Plan Account.

(c) Prior to the Distribution Date, NSV will provide Jefferies with the number of shares of Stock to be distributed to each Partner effective on or as soon as practicable after the Distribution Date such that each Partner will receive their pro rata share, after taking into account the amount of Stock to be distributed to the General Partner pursuant to Article V of NSV’s limited partnership agreement, of the Stock in the Plan Account to be distributed effective on or as soon as practicable after the Distribution Date as contemplated by Section 2.2(b), and Jefferies shall initiate transfers from the Plan Account of such number of shares of Stock to (i) an account in the name of (or for the benefit of) each Non-Affiliate Partner, and (ii) NSV’s account at the Issuer’s transfer agent for the benefit of the Affiliate Partner, if Jefferies is to distribute any Stock to the Affiliate Partner, effective on or as soon as practicable after the Distribution Date. NSV shall cause the re-legending of the Stock that it receives from Jefferies for the benefit of the Affiliate Partner, and transfer it on the books of the Issuer’s transfer agent, appropriately

legended to reflect its status as restricted securities under Rule 144, to a separate account on the books of the Issuer’s transfer agent in the name of the Affiliate Partner promptly upon receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if NSV determines the amount of Stock due to the Affiliate Partner prior to the Distribution Date, in lieu of the transfer by Jefferies as contemplated by clause (ii) above, NSV may instruct the transfer agent to transfer such legended Stock directly from NSV’s account to the Affiliate Partner’s account on the books of the Issuer’s transfer agent (a “Direct Transfer”), rather than being placed in the Plan Account and distributed by Jefferies. NSV shall notify Jefferies if it intends to pursue a Direct Transfer and Jefferies shall have no responsibility with such transfer by the transfer agent.

2.3. Jefferies shall, within one business day after the transfers to Non-Affiliate Partners referred to in Section 2.2 above, provide the individuals identified in Section 5.3(c) below with confirmation of the Distribution and such other information as they may reasonably require in order to permit timely compliance by NSV or its affiliates or Partners, as applicable, with the requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

2.4. The amount of Stock to be distributed to each Partner shall be adjusted on a proportionate basis to take into account any stock split, reverse stock split or stock dividend with respect to the Stock or any change in capitalization with respect to the Issuer that occurs prior to the Distribution Date. NSV shall promptly advise (or cause the Issuer to advise) Jefferies of any such event.

2.5. Jefferies shall not effect the Distribution hereunder at any time when:

(i) Jefferies, in its sole discretion, has determined that a market disruption, banking moratorium, trading suspension, outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other crisis or calamity has occurred that, in Jefferies’s judgment, make it impracticable for Jefferies to effect the Distribution;

(ii) Jefferies, in its sole discretion upon consultation with counsel (which may be in-house counsel), has determined that it is prohibited from doing so by a legal, contractual or regulatory restriction applicable to it or its affiliates or to NSV or NSV’s affiliates;

(iii) Jefferies has received notice from the NSV of the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 1.5(b) above;

(iv) Jefferies has received notice from NSV to terminate the Distribution Plan in accordance with Section 3.1(a) below;

(v) Jefferies has received notice of the dissolution of NSV or the commencement or impending commencement of any proceedings in respect of or triggered by NSV’s bankruptcy or insolvency;

(vi) Jefferies has received notice that the Issuer or any other person has publicly announced a tender or exchange offer with respect to the Issuer’s

securities or a merger, acquisition, reorganization, recapitalization or comparable transaction affecting the securities of the Issuer; or

(vii) Jefferies has received notice of suspension or termination of this Distribution Plan under Section 3.1.

2.6. (a) As soon as practicable after the date of this Distribution Plan, NSV shall cause the Stock to be distributed pursuant to this Distribution Plan (other than Stock subject to a Direct Transfer) to be delegended and deposited into an account at Jefferies or a third-party broker dealer specified by Jefferies in the name of and for the benefit of NSV (the “Plan Account”) for subsequent distribution to the Partners on Exhibits A and B pursuant to this Distribution Plan.

(b) Prior to the date of this Distribution Plan or as soon as practicable thereafter (and in any event prior to the Distribution Date), NSV shall cause each of its Non-Affiliate Partners to open an account with Jefferies or a third-party broker dealer for purposes of receiving the Distribution.

(c) To the extent that any Stock remains in the Plan Account upon termination of this Distribution Plan, NSV agrees to return such Stock promptly to the Issuer’s transfer agent for re-legending to the extent that such Stock would then be restricted in the hands of NSV.

2.7 Jefferies shall in no event deliver Stock to any Partner if Jefferies has not been provided with accurate and complete account information for such Partner.

Article III
Termination; Amendment of Distribution Plan

3.1. (a) This Distribution Plan may be suspended or terminated by NSV or Jefferies at any time upon written notice sent to Jefferies or NSV, as the case may be, by sending an email to the address(es) set forth in Section 5.3 below. NSV agrees that NSV shall not suspend or terminate this Distribution Plan except upon consultation with NSV’s own legal advisors.

(b) This Distribution Plan shall be suspended if Jefferies receives notice of the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 1.5(b) above.

(c) Notwithstanding anything else in this Distribution Plan, Jefferies shall not be obligated to distribute Stock pursuant to this Distribution Plan at any time that Jefferies reasonably believes that NSV is not in compliance with Rule 144(h) of the Securities Act.

3.2. This Distribution Plan shall terminate after completion of the Distribution of the Stock to be distributed on the Distribution Date.

3.3 NSV agrees that Jefferies will execute this Distribution Plan in accordance with its terms and will not be required to suspend or terminate the Distribution unless Jefferies has received notice from NSV in accordance with Section 3.1 on the date on which this Distribution Plan is to be suspended or terminated, or as otherwise contemplated herein.

3.4. This Distribution Plan may be amended by NSV only (a) to the extent that such amendment does not change the amount, price or timing of the distribution of the Stock and (b) upon the written consent of Jefferies and receipt by Jefferies of the following documents, each dated as of the date of such amendment:

(i) a representation signed by the Issuer certifying that NSV is not subject to the Issuer’s insider trading policy;

(ii) a certificate signed by NSV certifying that the representations and warranties of NSV contained in this Distribution Plan are true at and as of the date of such certificate as if made at and as of such date; and

(iii) a representation letter completed and executed by NSV substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto.

Article IV
Indemnification; Limitation of Liability

4.1. NSV agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Jefferies and its directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates (collectively, “Indemnified Persons”) from and against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim): (i) arising out of or attributable to actions taken or not taken by any of them under this Distribution Plan, except in the case of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities resulting from Jefferies’s or any other Indemnified Person’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or breach by Jefferies of any of its agreements or obligations hereunder; (ii) arising out of or attributable to any breach by NSV of this Distribution Plan (including NSV’s representations and warranties); or (iii) any violation by NSV of applicable laws or regulations. This indemnification will survive termination of this Distribution Plan.

4.2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Distribution Plan, neither Jefferies nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates shall be liable to NSV or any other person or entity as a result of actions taken or not taken by any of them under this Distribution Plan, except in the case of a liability resulting from Jefferies’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach by Jefferies of any of its agreements or obligations hereunder; (ii) for special, indirect, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, or incidental losses or damages of any kind, including without limitation lost profits or lost savings, regardless of whether arising from breach of contract, warranty, tort, strict liability or otherwise, and even if advised of the possibility of such losses or damages or if such losses or damages could have been reasonably foreseen; or (iii) for any failure to perform or to cease performance or any delay in performance that results from a cause or circumstance that is beyond Jefferies’s reasonable control, including but not limited to failure of electronic or mechanical equipment, strikes, failure of common carrier or utility systems, severe weather, market disruptions or other causes commonly known as “acts of God.”

Legend Removal Representation Letter

Date: June 7, 2022

Dear Sir/Madam:

[ ] (the “Partnership”) is the owner of common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “common stock”) of Ventyx Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) and intends to make a pro rata distribution of a portion of its common stock pursuant to the terms of its limited partnership agreement, without consideration therefor and after taking into account the amount of common stock to be distributed to the General Partner pursuant to Article V of the Partnership’s limited partnership agreement, to the partners of the Partnership (collectively, the “Partners”). The common stock held by the Partnership is presently subject to transfer restrictions, and the Partnership desires to remove such restrictions from a portion of such common stock in order to effect the distribution of such common stock.

The Partnership hereby represents, warrants and agrees that:

The account number at the Company’s transfer agent wherein the common stock of the Company is held by the Partnership (the “Account Number,” and such account, the “Account”), and the aggregate amount of common stock to be distributed from such Account, is as follows:

Account Number	Certificate Number	Shares of Common Stock to be Distributed
[ ]	[ ]	[ ]

The Partnership is the sole record owner of the common stock in the Account, which was acquired prior to the initial public offering of the Company. If there are a greater number of shares of stock in the Account than that proposed to be transferred at this time, it is understood that such remainder will remain in the Account, subject to the same restrictive notation on the books of the Company’s transfer agent as is currently affixed to the Account.

2. The common stock held by the Partnership is a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will continue to be so long as held by or on behalf of the Partnership or other affiliates of the Company. A period of at least six months (as determined in accordance with paragraph (d) of Rule 144) has elapsed since the date on which shares of common stock were most recently acquired from the Company or from an affiliate of the Company and, if acquired by purchase, since the date on which payment of the full purchase price was made.

3. The Company is not, and has never been, a “shell company,” as described in paragraphs (i)(1)(i) and (ii) of Rule 144.

4. The common stock is being distributed pro rata, without consideration therefor and after taking into account the amount of common stock to be distributed to the General Partner pursuant to Article [ ] of the Partnership’s limited partnership agreement, to the Partners. The Partnership is “closely held” for purposes of the federal securities laws.

5. The distribution of the common stock will be made pursuant to the Amended and Restated NSV-Ventyx Stock Distribution Plan entered into on June 7, 2023, between NSV and Jefferies LLC, acting as agent for the Partnership (the “Distribution Plan”), and in accordance with the provisions of Article II of the Distribution Plan.

6. The name and address of each Partner are set forth on Schedules A and B to this letter. No Partner listed on Schedule A is, and at no time in the past three months has any such Partner been, an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of paragraph (a)(1) of Rule 144. The Partner listed on Schedule B to this letter (the “Affiliate Partner”) may be deemed to be an “affiliate” of the Company. The Partnership acknowledges that the common stock to be distributed for the benefit of the Affiliate Partner will continue to be restricted securities under Rule 144.

The Company, its counsel and its transfer agent, and Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, may rely upon the statements, representations and warranties made herein as if this letter had been addressed to them.

Very truly yours,

[ ]

In connection with the order of [ ] (“NSV”) to distribute shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Stock”), of Ventyx Biosciences, Inc.

1. NSV is an affiliate of the Issuer.

2. NSV has verified that the most recent report, quarterly or annual, which is required to be filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission, has been filed.

3. NSV confirms that it has been the beneficial owner of the Stock for a period of at least six months as provided in paragraph (d) of Rule 144.

4. NSV confirms that it has no sell orders open for shares of Stock with any other broker or Financial Institution. NSV has made no payments to any other person in connection with your execution of its distribution under the Distribution Plan. This distribution is not part of a distribution of any securities on the Issuer’s behalf, and NSV is not an underwriter with respect to the Stock.

5. All capitalized terms used in this letter shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Distribution Plan.
