Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 23, 2026,
MoonLake Immunotherapeutics (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (“Underwriting
Agreement”) with Leerink Partners LLC, as the representative of the underwriters named therein (the
“Underwriters”), to issue and sell, in a public offering (the “Offering”), 9,000,000 Class A ordinary
shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), at a public offering price of $20.00 per share (the
“Firm Shares”), and, in lieu of Ordinary Shares to certain investors that so choose, pre-funded warrants to purchase
up to 1,000,000 Ordinary Shares at a public offering price of $19.9999 per pre-funded warrant (the “Pre-Funded
Warrants”). The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and are exercisable immediately. In addition,
the Company granted the Underwriters an option for a period of 30 days to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 Ordinary Shares
(the “Option Shares”, and together with the Firm Shares, the “Shares”) at the public offering price less the
underwriting discounts and commissions (the “Option”). The Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrants are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.”
The exercise price and the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants are subject to appropriate adjustments
in the event of certain share dividends and distributions, share splits, share combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting
the Ordinary Shares. Holders of the
Pre-Funded Warrants will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any Pre-Funded Warrant which, upon giving effect to such
exercise, would cause the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the holder (together with its affiliates) to
exceed 4.99% (or 9.99%) of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such
percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants. Such percentage may be increased or
decreased by the holder of the Pre-Funded Warrants to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% upon at least
61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us.
The gross proceeds from the Offering are expected to be $200 million before deducting underwriting
discounts and offering expenses.
The Securities described above were offered pursuant
to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-274286), which became effective on September 11, 2023. A final prospectus
supplement dated June 23, 2026 relating to and describing the terms of the Offering was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
on June 24, 2026. The Offering is expected to close on June 25, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
In the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed
to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute
payments that the Underwriters may be required to make because of such liabilities.
A copy of the Underwriting Agreement and the
form of Pre-Funded Warrant are filed as Exhibits 1.1 and 4.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing descriptions
of the Underwriting Agreement and the Pre-Funded Warrants do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference
to such exhibits.

Shares. The aforesaid 9,000,000 Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 1,000,000 Ordinary Shares (the “Initial Securities”)

include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. Each preliminary prospectus used in connection with the offering of the Securities, including
the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act, are collectively

prepare and file a final prospectus relating to the Securities in accordance with the provisions of Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act Regulations
(“Rule 424(b)”). The final prospectus, in the form first furnished or made available to the Underwriters for use in connection
with the offering of the Securities, including the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to

by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus comply in all material respects with the
requirements of Regulation S-X of the 1933 Act, including, without limitation, Article 11 thereof, fairly present, in all material respects,

1934 Act and Item 10 of Regulation S-K under the 1933 Act, to the extent applicable. The statistical, industry-related and market-related
data included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus were obtained
or derived from sources which the Company reasonably and in good faith believes are reliable and accurate, in all material respects, such
data agree with the sources from which they are derived, and the Company has obtained the written consent to the use of such data from
such sources to the extent required. To the Company’s knowledge, no person who has been suspended or barred from being associated
with a registered public accounting firm, or who has failed to comply with any sanction pursuant to Rule 5300 promulgated by the PCAOB,
has participated in or otherwise aided the preparation of, or audited, the financial statements, supporting schedules or other financial
data filed with the Commission as a part of the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

10-K or Form 10-Q, as the case may be, as of the dates referred to therein (subject, in each case, to the issuance of Securities under
this Agreement, the issuance of Ordinary Shares upon exercise of share options and warrants disclosed as outstanding as of the date hereof
in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and the grant of options under existing share option
plans described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus). The Ordinary Shares conform in all
material respects to the description thereof contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus,
including under the heading “Description of Shares.” All of the issued and outstanding share capital or other equity or ownership
interest of the Company (including the Ordinary Shares) has been duly authorized and validly issued and is fully paid and nonassessable,
has been issued in compliance with all federal, state and local securities laws and is free and clear of any security interest, mortgage,
pledge, lien, encumbrance or adverse claim. None of the outstanding capital shares of the Company were issued in violation of any preemptive
rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company. Except as summarized in
the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there are no authorized or outstanding options, warrants,
preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other rights to purchase or subscribe for, or equity or debt securities convertible into
or exchangeable or exercisable for, any share capital of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them may be bound. The descriptions of the Company’s equity incentive plan, share option
plans and other share plans or arrangements described in the Prospectus and in effect as of the date hereof (collectively, the “Share
Plans”) and the options or other rights granted thereunder, set forth in the Prospectus accurately and fairly present the information
required to be shown with respect to such Share Plans and the options or other rights granted thereunder.
(xiv) Authorization
of Agreement. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.
7
(xv) Authorization
and Description of Securities. The Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters from the Company have been duly authorized for issuance
and sale to the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement and, when issued and delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement against
payment of the consideration set forth herein, will be validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable; and the issuance of the Securities
is not subject to the preemptive or other similar rights of any securityholder of the Company. The Pre-Funded Warrants have been duly
authorized by the Company and, when executed and delivered by the Company, will be valid and binding agreements of the Company, enforceable
against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors or by general equitable principles. The
Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and validly reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants in a number sufficient
to meet the current exercise requirements. The Warrant Shares, when issued and delivered upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants in accordance
therewith (and provided that a sufficient number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares are available), will be validly issued and
fully paid and nonassessable and will conform to the descriptions thereof in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package
and the Prospectus. The issuance of the Warrant Shares is not subject to any preemptive rights or other similar rights of any securityholder
of the Company. The Ordinary Shares conform to all statements relating thereto contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure
Package and the Prospectus and such description conforms to the rights set forth in the instruments defining the same. No holder of Securities
will be subject to personal liability by reason of being such a holder. The issuance and sale of the Securities as contemplated hereby
shall not be subject to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to subscribe for or purchase the Securities.
When issued and delivered by the Company against payment therefor pursuant to this Agreement, and, following the transfer agent of the
Company updating the register of members of the Company to reflect the issuance of any such Securities, the purchasers of the Securities
issued and sold hereunder will acquire good, marketable and valid title to such Securities, free and clear of all pledges, liens, security
interests, charges, claims or encumbrances. The issuance and sale of the Securities as contemplated hereby will not cause any holder of
any share capital, securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for share capital or options, warrants or other rights to
purchase share capital or any other securities of the Company to have any right to acquire any preference shares of the Company. There
are no restrictions upon the voting or transfer of the Ordinary Shares under the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association,
as amended (the “Memorandum and Articles of Association”), other similar organizational document or any agreement or
other instrument to which the Company is a party or otherwise filed as an exhibit to the Company’s most recent annual report on
Form 10-K.
(xvi) Registration
Rights. There are no persons (as such term is defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the 1933 Act) with registration
or other similar rights to have any equity or debt securities of the Company registered for sale under the Registration Statement or included
in the offering contemplated by this Agreement, except for such rights as have been duly waived in a writing previously furnished to the
Underwriters.
(xvii) Absence
of Violations, Defaults and Conflicts. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation or default of (i) any provision of its
Memorandum and Articles of Association, bylaws, limited liability company agreement, certificate or agreement of limited or general partnership,
or other similar organizational documents, as the case may be, of such entity, (ii) the terms of any indenture, contract, lease, mortgage,
deed of trust, note agreement, loan agreement or other agreement, obligation, condition, covenant or instrument to which it is a party
or bound or to which its property or assets is subject (collectively, “Agreements and Instruments”), or (iii) any statute,
law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or
other authority having jurisdiction over the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets (each, a
“Governmental Entity”), as applicable, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for any such default or
violation that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and in the Registration Statement,
the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (including the issuance and sale of the Securities and the use of the proceeds from
the sale of the Securities as described therein under the caption “Use of Proceeds”) and compliance by the Company
with its obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not and will not, whether with or without
the giving of notice or passage of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default or Repayment Event (as defined below)
under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any properties or assets of the Company or its
Subsidiaries pursuant to, the Agreements and Instruments (except for such conflicts, breaches, defaults or Repayment Events or liens,
charges or encumbrances that would not, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect), nor
will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the charter, by-laws or similar organizational document of the Company or
its Subsidiaries or any law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of any Governmental Entity. As used herein, a
“Repayment Event” means any event or condition which gives the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness
(or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion
of such indebtedness by the Company or its Subsidiaries.
8
(xviii) 1934
Act Registration and Nasdaq Listing. The Company is subject to and in compliance in all material respects with the reporting requirements
of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act. The Ordinary Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the 1934 Act and are listed
on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), and the Company has taken no action designed to, or reasonably likely to have
the effect of, terminating the registration of the Ordinary Shares under the 1934 Act or delisting the Ordinary Shares from Nasdaq, nor
has the Company received any notification that the Commission or Nasdaq is contemplating terminating such registration or listing. The
Company is in compliance with the current listing standards of Nasdaq. The Company has filed a Notification of Listing of Additional Shares
with Nasdaq with respect to the Securities.
(xix) Absence
of Labor Dispute. No labor dispute with the employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries exists or, to the Company’s
knowledge, is threatened or imminent, and the Company is not aware of any existing, threatened or imminent labor disturbance by the employees
of any of its or any of its Subsidiaries’ principal suppliers, manufacturers, contractors or customers, in each case that would
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is represented
by a union and, to the knowledge of the Company, no union organizing activities are taking place. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
has violated (or received notice of any violation of) any federal, state or local law or foreign law relating to the discrimination in
hiring, promotion or pay of employees, nor any applicable wage or hour laws, or the rules and regulations thereunder, or analogous foreign
laws and regulations, which would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(xx) Absence
of Proceedings. There is no legal or governmental proceeding to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or of which
any property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is the subject, including any proceeding before the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (“FDA”), the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) or any foreign, local, national or
other governmental agency with jurisdiction over the types of products being developed by the Company that is required to be described
in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus and is not described therein, or which, individually or
in the aggregate, if determined adversely to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect; and, to the knowledge of the Company, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by governmental or regulatory authorities
or threatened by others. The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) have not received notice of any claim, action, suit, proceeding, hearing,
enforcement, investigation, arbitration or other action from any governmental authority or third party alleging that any product operation
or activity is in violation of any Applicable Laws or Governmental Permits and have no knowledge that any such governmental authority
or third party is considering any such claim, litigation, arbitration, action, suit, investigation or proceeding and (ii) have not received
notice that any governmental authority has taken, is taking or intends to take action to limit, suspend, modify or revoke any Governmental
Permits and the Company has no knowledge that any such governmental authority is considering such action.
9
(xxi) Accuracy
of Exhibits. There is no statute, regulation, contract, agreement or other document required to be described in the Registration Statement,
the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement which is not described or
filed as required. The statements set forth or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, insofar as they purport to constitute summaries
of the terms of the statutes, regulations, contracts, agreements or other documents described and filed, constitute accurate summaries
of the terms thereof in all material respects. The statements set forth or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus under the headings
“Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders,” “Risk Factors,” “Business—Intellectual
Property,” “Business—The Merck Healthcare KGaA (Darmstadt, Germany) License Agreement,” “Business—Government
Regulation,” “Legal Proceedings,” and “Description of Shares,” insofar as such statements summarize legal
matters, agreements, documents or proceedings discussed therein, are accurate and fair summaries, in all material respects, of such legal
matters, agreements, documents or proceedings. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has sent or received any communication
regarding termination of, or intent not to renew or render performance under, any of the contracts or agreements referred to or described
in the Prospectus or any free writing prospectus, or referred to or described in, or filed as an exhibit to, the Registration Statement,
and no such termination or non-renewal has been threatened by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the Company’s knowledge,
any other party to any such contract or agreement, which threat of termination or non-renewal has not been rescinded as of the date hereof.
(xxii) Absence
of Further Requirements. No consent, approval, license, permit, qualification, authorization or other order or decree of, or registration
or filing with, any court or other governmental, taxing or regulatory authority or agency, is required for the Company’s execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement or consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Registration Statement, the
Pre-Funded Warrants, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (including the issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder and
the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants), except such as have been already obtained or made or as
may be required under the 1933 Act, applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws, applicable rules of Nasdaq, or Rule 5110 of the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”).
(xxiii) Possession
of Licenses and Permits. The Company and its Subsidiaries possess and are operating in compliance with such valid and current certificates,
authorizations or permits required by United States federal, state or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies to conduct their respective
businesses as currently conducted and as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (collectively,
“Permits”), except for any such failure to possess or operate in compliance with as would not reasonably be expected
to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation
of, or in default under, any of the Permits or has received any written notice of proceedings relating to the revocation, or modification
of, or non-compliance with, any such certificate, authorization or permit, which, individually or in the aggregate, if the subject of
an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
10
(xxiv) The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) are and have at all times been in full compliance with all laws, statutes, rules, regulations
or guidance applicable to the Company and its Subsidiaries and the ownership, testing, development, manufacture, packaging, processing,
use, distribution, marketing, advertising, labeling, promotion, sale, offer for sale, storage, import, export or disposal of any pharmaceuticals
or biohazardous substances, materials or any other products developed, manufactured or distributed by the Company (including, without
limitation, from the FDA, EMA and any local or other governmental or regulatory authority performing functions similar to those performed
by the FDA or EMA) (collectively, “Applicable Laws”), except as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) have not received any notice of adverse finding, warning letter, untitled letter
or other correspondence or notice from the FDA or any other federal, state or foreign governmental authority having authority over the
Company, any of its Subsidiaries or their activities alleging or asserting noncompliance with any Applicable Laws or any licenses, certificates,
approvals, clearances, authorizations, permits and supplements or amendments thereto required by any such Applicable Laws (collectively,
the “Governmental Permits”), (iii) have made all filings with, the appropriate local, or other governmental or regulatory
agencies or bodies that are necessary for the ownership or lease of their respective properties or the conduct of their respective businesses
as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, except where any failures to possess or
make the same would not, singularly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) possess all material Governmental Permits
necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus,
and such Governmental Permits are not in violation of any term of any such Governmental Permits, except where such violation could not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (v) have filed, obtained, maintained
or submitted all material reports, documents, forms, notices, applications, records, claims, submissions and supplements or amendments
as required by any Applicable Laws or Governmental Permits and that all such reports, documents, forms, notices, applications, records,
claims, submissions and supplements or amendments were complete and correct in all material respects on the date filed (or were corrected
or supplemented by a subsequent submission), and (vi) are not a party to any corporate integrity agreements, monitoring agreements, consent
decrees, settlement orders or similar agreements with or imposed by any governmental authority. All Governmental Permits are valid and
in full force and effect, except where the validity or failure to be in full force and effect would not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received notification of any revocation, modification, suspension,
termination or invalidation (or proceedings related thereto) of any such Governmental Permit and the Company has no reason to believe
that any such Governmental Permit will not be renewed. Neither the Company, any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the Company’s knowledge,
any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents has been convicted of any crime under any Applicable Laws or has been
the subject of an FDA debarment proceeding. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has been nor is now subject to the FDA’s
Application Integrity Policy. To the Company’s knowledge, neither the Company, any of its Subsidiaries nor any of its directors,
officers, employees or agents has made, or caused the making of, any false statements on, or material omissions from, any other records
or documentation prepared or maintained to comply with the requirements of the FDA or any other governmental authority.
11
(xxv) Title
to Property. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them
and good and marketable title to all personal property owned by them that is material to their business (except with respect to intellectual
property, which is addressed exclusively in Section 1(xxvi) and Section 1(xxvii) below), in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances
and defects except such as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to
be made of such property by the Company or any Subsidiary; and any real property and buildings held under lease by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases (subject to the effects of (A) bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights or remedies
of creditors generally; (B) the application of general principles of equity (including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness,
good faith and fair dealing, regardless of whether enforcement is considered in proceedings at law or in equity); and (C) applicable law
and public policy with respect to rights to indemnity and contribution) with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere
with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company or such Subsidiary.
(xxvi) Title
to Intellectual Property. The Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess the right to use all inventions, patent applications, patents,
trademarks, trade names, service names, domain names, copyrights, trade secrets, know-how and other intellectual property (collectively,
“Intellectual Property”) as are (i) necessary or material for the conduct of their respective businesses as currently
conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted and as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and
the Prospectus and (ii) necessary or material for the commercialization of the products described in the Registration Statement, the General
Disclosure Package and the Prospectus as being under development. There is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened
(i) action, suit, proceeding, or claim by others challenging the rights of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in or to any such Intellectual
Property that, if decided adversely to the Company or such Subsidiary would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect, and the Company is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim; (ii) action, suit, proceeding,
or claim by others that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any Intellectual Property
of others that, if decided adversely to the Company or such Subsidiary would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect, and the Company is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim; or (iii) action, suit, proceeding,
or claim by others challenging the validity, scope, or enforceability of any such Intellectual Property owned or licensed by the Company
or its Subsidiaries and the Company is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim. To the Company’s
knowledge, the operation of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as now conducted, and as described in the Prospectus, and
in connection with the development and commercialization of the products described in the Prospectus does not infringe, misappropriate,
conflict with or otherwise violate any claim of any patent or published patent application of any other person or entity. There is no
prior art of which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is aware that may render any patent owned or licensed by the Company or its
Subsidiaries invalid or any patent application owned or licensed by the Company or its Subsidiaries unpatentable which has not been disclosed
to the applicable government patent office. The Company’s granted or issued patents, registered trademarks and registered copyrights
have been duly maintained and are in full force and effect, and none of the patents, trademarks and copyrights have been adjudged invalid
or unenforceable in whole or in part. The Company knows of no infringement, misappropriation or violation by others of any Intellectual
Property owned or licensed by the Company or its Subsidiaries which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or bound by any options, licenses or agreements with respect to the Intellectual
Property of any other person or entity that are required to be set forth in the Prospectus and that are not described therein in all material
respects. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken all reasonable steps necessary to secure their interests in the Intellectual Property
of the Company and its Subsidiaries from their employees and contractors and to protect the confidentiality of all of their confidential
information and trade secrets. None of the technology or intellectual property used by the Company and its Subsidiaries in its business
has been obtained or is being used by the Company or its Subsidiaries in violation of any contractual obligation binding on the Company
or its Subsidiaries, or, to the Company’s knowledge, any of its officers, directors or employees or otherwise in violation of the
rights of any persons. No third party has been granted by the Company or its Subsidiaries rights to the Intellectual Property of the Company
or its Subsidiaries, including any rights that, if exercised, could enable such party to develop products competitive to those of the
Company as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. All Intellectual Property owned
or exclusively licensed by the Company or its Subsidiaries are free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, defects or other restrictions
(other than non-exclusive licenses granted in the ordinary course of business), except those that could not reasonably be expected, individually
or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its Subsidiaries are not subject to any judgment, order, writ,
injunction or decree of any court or any federal, state, local, foreign or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency
or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, or any arbitrator, nor has it entered into or is it a party to any agreement made in settlement
of any pending or threatened litigation, which materially restricts or impairs their use of any Intellectual Property.
12
(xxvii) Patents
and Patent Applications. The Company has duly and properly filed or caused to be filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (the
“PTO”) and applicable foreign and international patent and trademark authorities all patents, trademarks, copyrights
and applications relating to the same owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Company Patent and Trademark Applications”).
To the knowledge of the Company, the Company has complied with the PTO’s duty of candor and disclosure for the Company Patent and
Trademark Applications and has made no material misrepresentation in the Company Patent and Trademark Applications. To the Company’s
knowledge, the Company Patent and Trademark Applications disclose patentable subject matter. The Company has not been notified of any
inventorship challenges nor has any interference been declared or provoked nor is any material fact known by the Company that would preclude
the issuance of patents with respect to the Company Patent and Trademark Applications or would render such patents, if issued, invalid
or unenforceable. Except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has breached and
is currently in breach of any provision of any license, contract or other agreement governing the use by the Company or its Subsidiaries
of Intellectual Property owned by third parties (collectively, the “Licenses”) and no third party has alleged any such
breach and the Company is unaware of any facts that would form a reasonable basis for such a claim. To the Company’s knowledge,
no other party to the Licenses has breached or is currently in breach of any provision of the Licenses. Each of the Licenses is in full
force and effect and constitutes a valid and binding agreement between the parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
and there has not occurred any breach or default under any such Licenses or any event that, with the giving of notice or lapse of time,
would constitute a breach or default thereunder. Except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries has been and is currently involved in any disputes regarding the Licenses. To the Company’s knowledge, all patents
licensed to the Company pursuant to the Licenses are valid, enforceable and being duly maintained. To the Company’s knowledge, all
patent applications licensed to the Company pursuant to the Licenses are being duly prosecuted.
(xxviii) Environmental
Laws. Except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any United States federal, state or local, or any foreign, statute, law, rule,
regulation, ordinance, code, policy or rule of common law or any judicial or administrative interpretation thereof, including any judicial
or administrative order, consent, decree or judgment, relating to pollution or protection of human health, the environment (including,
without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata) or wildlife, including, without limitation,
laws and regulations relating to the emissions, discharges, release or threatened release of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, wastes,
toxic substances, hazardous substances, petroleum or petroleum products (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) or otherwise
related to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials
(collectively, “Environmental Laws”), which violation includes, but is not limited to, noncompliance with any permits
or other governmental authorizations required for the operation of the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under applicable
Environmental Laws, or noncompliance with the terms and conditions thereof, nor has the Company or any of its Subsidiaries received any
written communication, whether from a governmental authority, citizens group, employee or otherwise, that alleges that the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any Environmental Law; (ii) the Company and its Subsidiaries have all material permits, authorizations
and approvals required under any applicable Environmental Laws and are in compliance with their requirements; (iii) there are no pending
or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened administrative, regulatory or judicial actions, suits, demands, demand letters, claims,
liens, notices of noncompliance or violation, investigation or proceedings relating to any Environmental Law against the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries, or any investigation with respect to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice or
any written notice by any person or entity alleging potential liability for investigatory costs, cleanup costs, governmental responses
costs, natural resources damages, property damages, personal injuries, attorneys’ fees or penalties arising out of, based on or
resulting from the presence, or release into the environment, of any Hazardous Materials at any location owned, leased or operated by
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, now or in the past; and (iv) to the Company’s knowledge, there are no past or present actions,
activities, events, conditions, incidents or circumstances that might reasonably be expected to result in a violation of any Environmental
Law or form the basis of an order for clean-up or remediation, or an action, suit, investigation or proceeding by any private party or
governmental body or agency, against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to Hazardous Materials or any Environmental
Laws.
(xxix) Books
and Records. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries make and keep accurate books and records and maintain a system of internal accounting
controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general
or specific authorization; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity
with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general
or specific authorization; (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate
action is taken with respect to any differences; and (v) the interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language included or incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus fairly presents the information called for
in all material respects and is prepared in accordance with the Commission’s rules and guidelines applicable thereto.
13
(xxx) Accounting
Controls and Disclosure Controls. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have established and maintain disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the 1934 Act), which (i) are designed to ensure that information relating to the Company,
including its consolidated Subsidiaries, is made known to the Company’s principal executive officer and its principal financial
officer by others within those entities, particularly during the periods in which the periodic reports required under the 1934 Act are
being prepared; (ii) have been evaluated by management of the Company for effectiveness as of the end of the Company’s most recent
fiscal quarter; and (iii) are effective in all material respects to perform the functions for which they were established. Since the end
of the Company’s most recent audited fiscal year, there has been no material weakness in the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting (whether or not remediated) and no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, including
any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. The Company is not aware of any change in its internal
control over financial reporting that has occurred during its most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
(xxxi) Tests
and Preclinical and Clinical Trials. The research, non-clinical pre-clinical studies and clinical studies and tests conducted or being
conducted by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or in which any of their respective product candidates have participated
and, to the Company’s knowledge, the preclinical studies and clinical trials directed or sponsored by the Company’s collaborators
(collectively, the “Studies”) that are described in, or the results of which are referred to in, the Registration Statement,
the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus were and, if still pending, are being conducted with reasonable care and in all material
respects in accordance with the protocols, procedures and controls pursuant to all Applicable Laws and Governmental Permits and with standard
medical and scientific research procedure. Each description of the results of such Studies fairly presents in all material respects the
data derived from such Studies. The Company and its Subsidiaries have no knowledge of any other research, non-clinical studies or tests
the results of which are inconsistent with, or otherwise call into question, the results described or referred to in the Registration
Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. There have been no material serious adverse events resulting from any Study.
To the Company’s knowledge, the manufacturing facilities and operations of its suppliers are operated in compliance in all material
respects with all Applicable Laws and Governmental Permits.
(xxxii) Payment
of Taxes. All United States federal income tax returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries required by law to be filed have been filed
or extensions thereof have been requested (except in any case in which the failure to so file or request an extension would not have a
Material Adverse Effect), and all taxes shown by such returns or otherwise assessed, which are due and payable, have been paid, except
assessments that are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided under GAAP and except for such
taxes the nonpayment of which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
The Company has no knowledge of any material tax deficiency which has been or is likely to be threatened or asserted against the Company
or its Subsidiaries. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has filed all foreign, state, provincial, local or other tax returns that
are required to have been filed pursuant to applicable foreign, state, provincial, local or other law except insofar as the failure to
file such returns would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and paid
all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Company and its Subsidiaries, except for such taxes,
if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided and except for such taxes or assessments
the nonpayment of which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The
charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of any income or other tax liability for any
years not finally determined are adequate to meet any assessments or re-assessments for additional tax for any years not finally determined,

including, without limitation, making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance
of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization

party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political office or otherwise took any action (or failed to fully disclose any
action) in contravention of the FCPA; and the Company, its Subsidiaries and each of their respective affiliates have conducted their businesses
in compliance in all material respects with the FCPA.

or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
17
(xlv) Litigation.
There are no actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened to which the
Company or any of the Subsidiaries is or would be a party, or of which any of the respective properties or assets of the Company and the

or foreign governmental or regulatory commission, board, body, authority or agency, that (i) are required to be described in the Registration

(xlviii) ERISA.
The Company and any “employee benefit plan” (as defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended,
and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (collectively, “ERISA”)) established or maintained by
the Company, or its “ERISA Affiliates” (as defined below) are in compliance with ERISA, except as would not reasonably be
expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. “ERISA Affiliates” means, with respect to the
Company, any member of any group of organizations described in Sections 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (the “Code”) of which the Company is a member.
No “reportable event” (as defined under ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any “employee
benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company, or any of its ERISA Affiliates. No “employee benefit plan” established
or maintained by the Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates, if such “employee benefit plan” were terminated, would have any
“amount of unfunded benefit liabilities” (as defined under ERISA). Neither the Company nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has
incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from,
any “employee benefit plan” or (ii) Sections 412, 4971, 4975 or 4980B of the Code. Each “employee benefit plan”
established or maintained by the Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code
is so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification.
(xlix) Anti-Corruption.
Neither the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any of their respective directors, officers, agents,
employees or affiliates, has taken or will take any action in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization or approval
of the unlawful payment or giving of money, property, gifts or anything else of value, directly or indirectly, to any “government
official” (including any officer or employee of a government or government-owned or controlled entity or of a public international
organization, or any person acting in an official capacity for or on behalf of any of the foregoing, or any political party or party official
or candidate for political office) to influence official action or secure an improper advantage; and the Company, each of its Subsidiaries
and, to the Company’s knowledge, each of their respective affiliates have conducted their businesses in compliance with applicable
anti-corruption laws.

the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has (i) failed to pay any dividend or sinking fund installment on preference shares or (ii) defaulted
on any installment or payment due on indebtedness for borrowed money or on any rental on one or more long-term leases, which defaults,
individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(lv) Forward
Looking Statements. Each financial or operational projection or other “forward-looking statement” (as defined by Section
27A of the 1933 Act or Section 21E of the 1934 Act) contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus

estimates and other applicable facts and circumstances and (ii) as required, is accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying
those factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statement. No such statement was
made with the knowledge of a director or senior manager of the Company that was false or misleading.

Party Transactions. There are no relationships, direct or indirect, or related party transactions involving the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries or any other person (including any director, officer, shareholder, customer or supplier of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries) required to be described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus that have not been
described as required. There are no material outstanding loans, advances (except normal advances for business expenses in the ordinary
course of business) or guarantees of indebtedness by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to or for the benefit of any of the officers
or directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of the family members of any of such persons.

ability to be and act in the capacity of a director or officer of the Company or a Subsidiary.
(lx) Choice
of Law. The choice of laws of the State of New York as the governing law of this Agreement is a valid choice of law under the laws
of the Cayman Islands that will be honored by courts in the Cayman Islands. The Company has the power to submit to the non-exclusive personal
jurisdiction of the State of New York, and the Company has the power to designate, appoint and authorize an authorized agent for service
of process in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Securities in such courts in the State of New York, and service

service of process has been effected and the defendant has had a reasonable opportunity to be heard, (ii) such judgments or the enforcement
thereof are not contrary to the law, public policy, security or sovereignty of the Cayman Islands, (iii) such judgments were not obtained
by fraudulent means and do not conflict with any other valid judgment in the same matter between the same parties, and (iv) an action
between the same parties in the same matter is not pending in any Cayman Islands court at the time the lawsuit is instituted in the foreign

in the Cayman Islands.
20
(lxii) Transfer
Taxes. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, no transaction stamp

SECTION 2. Sale and
Delivery to Underwriters; Closing.
(a) Initial
Securities. On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set
forth, the Company agrees to sell to each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, and each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees
to purchase from the Company, (i) at the price per Share set forth in Schedule A, that number of Shares set forth in Schedule A
opposite the name of such Underwriter or (ii) at the price per Pre-Funded Warrant set forth in Schedule A, that number of Pre-Funded
Warrants set forth in Schedule A opposite the name of such Underwriter, plus any additional number of Shares and/or Pre-Funded
Warrants which such Underwriter may become obligated to purchase pursuant to the provisions of Section 10 hereof, subject, in each case,
to such adjustments among the Underwriters as the Representative in its sole discretion shall make to eliminate any sales or purchases
of fractional shares.
(b) Option
Securities. In addition, on the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions
herein set forth, the Company hereby grants an option to the Underwriters, severally and not jointly, to purchase up to an additional
1,500,000 Ordinary Shares, at the price per share set forth in Schedule A, less an amount per share equal to any dividends
or distributions declared by the Company and payable on the Shares but not payable on the Option Securities. The option hereby granted
may be exercised for 30 days after the date hereof and may be exercised in whole or in part at any time from time to time upon notice
by the Representative to the Company setting forth the number of Option Securities as to which the several Underwriters are then exercising
the option and the time and date of payment and delivery for such Option Securities. Any such time and date of delivery (a “Date
of Delivery”) shall be determined by the Representative, but any Date of Delivery after the Closing Time shall not be later
than seven full business days nor earlier than two full business days after the exercise of said option, nor in any event prior to the
Closing Time. If the option is exercised as to all or any portion of the Option Securities, each of the Underwriters, acting severally
and not jointly, will purchase that proportion of the total number of Option Securities then being purchased which the number of Initial
Securities set forth in Schedule A opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Initial Securities, subject,
in each case, to such adjustments as the Representative in its sole discretion shall make to eliminate any sales or purchases of fractional
shares.
21
(c) Payment.
Payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of certificates or security entitlements for, the Initial Securities shall be made at
the offices of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Representative
and the Company, at 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on June 25, 2026 (unless postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10),
or such other time not later than ten business days after such date as shall be agreed upon by the Representative and the Company (such
time and date of payment and delivery being herein called “Closing Time”). Delivery of the Shares at the Closing Time
shall be made through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company unless the Representative shall otherwise instruct. The Pre-Funded
Warrants shall be delivered to the purchasers of the Pre-Funded Warrants in definitive form, registered in such names and in such denominations
as the purchasers of the Pre-Funded Warrants shall request in writing not later than the Closing Time. The Company and the Representative
shall instruct purchasers of the Pre-Funded Warrants in the public offering to make payment for the Pre-Funded Warrants on the Closing
Time to the Company by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company at a purchase price of $19.9999
per Pre-Funded Warrant, in lieu of payment by the Underwriters for such Pre-Funded Warrants, and the Company shall deliver such Pre-Funded
Warrants to such purchasers on the Closing Time in definitive form against such payment, in lieu of the Company’s obligation to
deliver such Pre-Funded Warrants to the Underwriters; provided that the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than the Closing
Time) pay $1.10 per such Pre-Funded Warrant to the Underwriters by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified
by the Representative. In the event that the purchasers of the Pre-Funded Warrants in the public offering fail to make payment to the
Company for all or part of the Pre-Funded Warrants on the Closing Time, the Representative may elect, by written notice to the Company,
to receive Ordinary Shares at the price per share set forth in Schedule A in lieu of all or a portion of such Pre-Funded Warrants
to be delivered to the Underwriters under this Agreement.
The Company shall deliver,
or cause to be delivered, the Pre-Funded Warrants to the purchasers thereof, in accordance with the Representative’s instructions,
at the Closing Time.
In addition, in the event
that any or all of the Option Securities are purchased by the Underwriters, payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of certificates
or security entitlements for, such Option Securities shall be made at the above-mentioned offices, or at such other place as shall be
agreed upon by the Representative and the Company, on each Date of Delivery as specified in the notice from the Representative to the
Company. Delivery of the Option Securities on each such Date of Delivery shall be made through the facilities of The Depository Trust
Company unless the Representative shall otherwise instruct.
Payment shall be made to the
Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Company, against delivery to the Representative
for the respective accounts of the Underwriters of certificates or security entitlements for the Securities to be purchased by them. It
is understood that each Underwriter has authorized the Representative, for its account, to accept delivery of, receipt for, and make payment
of the purchase price for, the Securities and the Option Securities, if any, which it has agreed to purchase. Leerink Partners, individually
and not as representative of the Underwriters, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment of the purchase price for the Initial
Securities or the Option Securities, if any, to be purchased by any Underwriter whose funds have not been received by the Closing Time
or the relevant Date of Delivery, as the case may be, but such payment shall not relieve such Underwriter from its obligations hereunder.

the receipt of any comments from the Commission, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement
or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus (including any document incorporated by reference therein) or for additional information,

The Company will effect all filings required under Rule 424(b), in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (without
reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)), and will take such steps as it deems necessary to ascertain promptly whether the form of prospectus transmitted
for filing under Rule 424(b) was received for filing by the Commission and, in the event that it was not, it will promptly file such prospectus.
The Company will make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop order, prevention or suspension and, if any such order
is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof as soon as reasonably practicable.
(b) Continued
Compliance with Securities Laws. The Company will comply with the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act
Regulations so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Securities as contemplated in this Agreement and in the Registration

for the exception afforded by Rule 172 of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 172”), would be) required by the 1933 Act
to be delivered in connection with sales of the Securities, any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is
necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters or for the Company, to (i) amend the Registration Statement in order that
the Registration Statement will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus
in order that the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, will not include any untrue statement of a material

Company has given the Representative notice of any filings made pursuant to the 1934 Act or the 1934 Act Regulations as soon as practicable
prior to the Applicable Time; the Company will give the Representative notice of its intention to make any such filing from the Applicable
Time to the Closing Time and will furnish the Representative with copies of any such documents a reasonable amount of time prior to such

however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation

Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares or file or confidentially submit any registration
statement under the 1933 Act with respect to any of the foregoing, (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction

in cash or otherwise or (iii) publicly announce an intention to effect any such swap, agreement or other transaction described in clauses
(i) and (ii). The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (A) the Securities to be sold hereunder (including the issuance of Warrant Shares

Requirements. The Company, during the period when a Prospectus relating to the Securities is (or, but for the exception afforded by
Rule 172, would be) required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant
to the 1934 Act within the time periods required by the 1934 Act and 1934 Act Regulations. Additionally, the Company shall report the
use of proceeds from the issuance of the Securities as may be required under Rule 463 under the 1933 Act.

(l) Testing-the-Waters
Materials. If at any time following the distribution of any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication there occurred or occurs an event
or development as a result of which such Written Testing-the-Waters Communication included or would include an untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
existing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Representative and will promptly amend or supplement,
at its own expense, such Written Testing-the-Waters Communication to eliminate or correct such untrue statement or omission.
(m) Registration
Statement of Warrant Shares. The Company shall, at all times while any Pre-Funded Warrants are outstanding, use its commercially reasonable
best efforts to maintain a registration statement covering the issue and sale of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants
such that the Warrant Shares, when issued, will not be subject to resale restrictions under the Securities Act except to the extent that
the Warrant Shares are owned by affiliates. The Company shall, at all times while any Pre-Funded Warrants are outstanding, reserve and
keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of
enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of such Pre-Funded Warrants, the number of Warrant Shares that are initially issuable
and deliverable upon the exercise of the then-outstanding Pre-Funded Warrants.

survive any such termination and remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 6. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification
of Underwriters. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule
501(b) under the 1933 Act (each, an “Affiliate”)), its selling agents and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter
within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:
(i) against
any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including any information deemed to be
a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact included (A) in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, the
General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or (B) in any materials or information provided
to investors by, or with the approval of, the Company in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Securities (“Marketing
Materials”), including any roadshow or investor presentations made to investors by the Company (whether in person or electronically),
or the omission or alleged omission in any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Written Testing-the-Waters
Communication, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or in any Marketing Materials of
a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(ii) against
any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement
of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever
based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section
6(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company;
(iii) against
any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representative), reasonably
incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency
or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue
statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;
provided, however, that this
indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement
or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including any information
deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto)
in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information.
29
(b) Indemnification
of Company, Directors and Officers. Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each
of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section
15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity
contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements
or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant
to Rule 430B, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity
with the Underwriter Information.
(c) Actions
against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying
party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying
party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result
thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement.
In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(a) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Representative,
and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Company.
An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying
party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying
parties be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their
own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction
arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding
by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution
could be sought under this Section 6 or Section 7 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto),
unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising
out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability
or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(d) Settlement
without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse
the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the
nature contemplated by Section 6(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days
after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms
of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed
such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.
SECTION 7. Contribution.
If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute
to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i)
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters,
on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is
not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause
(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with
the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations.
30
The relative benefits received
by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to
this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities
pursuant to this Agreement (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company,
on the one hand, and the total underwriting discount received by the Underwriters, on the other hand, in each case as set forth on the
cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Securities as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus.
The relative fault of the
Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any
such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Company and the Underwriters
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even
if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses
incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding
by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission.
Notwithstanding the provisions
of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discounts and commissions received
by such Underwriter in connection with the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public.
No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
For purposes of this Section
7, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and
each Underwriter’s Affiliates and selling agents shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director
of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. The
Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the number of Initial
Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule A hereto and not joint.
31
SECTION 8. Representations,
Warranties and Agreements to Survive. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates
of officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless
of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or its Affiliates or selling agents, any person controlling any Underwriter,
its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Shares and/or Pre-Funded Warrants.
SECTION 9. Termination
of Agreement.
(a) Termination.
The Representative may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to the Closing Time (i) if there has
been, in the judgment of the Representative, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information
is given in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition,
financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries considered as one
enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change
in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof
or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in U.S. or international political, financial
or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representative, impracticable or
inadvisable to proceed with the completion of the offering or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, or (iii) if trading
in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or Nasdaq, or (iv) if trading generally on
the NYSE MKT or the New York Stock Exchange or in the Nasdaq Stock Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum
prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by order of the Commission,
FINRA or any other governmental authority, (v) a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement
or clearance services in the United States or with respect to Clearstream or Euroclear systems in Europe, or (vi) if a banking moratorium
has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities.
(b) Liabilities.
If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party
except as provided in Section 4 hereof, and provided further that Sections 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 14, 15, 16 and 17 shall survive such termination
and remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 10. Default
by One or More of the Underwriters. If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail at the Closing Time or a Date of Delivery to purchase
the Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the “Defaulted Securities”), the Representative
shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any
other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon
the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representative shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:
(i) if
the number of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the number of Securities to be purchased on such date, each of the non-defaulting
Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective
underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters, or
(ii) if
the number of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the number of Securities to be purchased on such date, this Agreement or, with respect
to any Date of Delivery which occurs after the Closing Time, the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase, and the Company to sell,
the Option Securities to be purchased and sold on such Date of Delivery shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting
Underwriter.
32
No action taken pursuant to
this Section shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.
In the event of any such default
which does not result in a termination of this Agreement or, in the case of a Date of Delivery which is after the Closing Time, which
does not result in a termination of the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase and the Company to sell the relevant Option Securities,
as the case may be, either the (i) Representative or (ii) the Company shall have the right to postpone Closing Time or the relevant Date
of Delivery, as the case may be, for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement,
the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term “Underwriter”
includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 10.
SECTION 11. Notices.
All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted
by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Underwriters shall be directed (i) to Leerink Partners LLC at 1301 Avenue of

SECTION 12. No Advisory
or Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement,
including the determination of the initial public offering price of the Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length
commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand, (b) in connection with the
offering of the Securities and the process leading thereto, each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the
agent or fiduciary of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or their respective shareholders, creditors, employees or any other party,
(c) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering
of the Securities or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries on other matters) and no Underwriter has any obligation to the Company with respect to the offering of the
Securities except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (d) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may be engaged
in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and (e) the Underwriters have not provided
any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering of the Securities and the Company has consulted its own respective
legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.
SECTION 13. Recognition
of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding
under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under
this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this
Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
33
In the event that any Underwriter
that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime,
Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent
than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the
United States or a state of the United States.
For purposes of this Agreement,

and the Company and their respective successors and the controlling persons and officers and directors referred to in Sections 6

any provision herein contained. This Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for the sole and exclusive
benefit of the Underwriters and the Company and their respective successors, and said controlling persons and officers and directors and
their heirs and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other person, firm or corporation. No purchaser of Securities from any
Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.
SECTION 15. Waiver of
Trial by Jury. The Company (on its behalf and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on behalf of its shareholders and affiliates)
and each of the Underwriters hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial

of Manhattan (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction

of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail to such party’s
address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. The
parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the Specified
Courts and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or other
proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

MoonLake Immunotherapeutics, a Cayman Islands exempted

which are hereby acknowledged, [●] or its permitted registered assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to
the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company up to a total of [●] Class A ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value per share

hereof, the “Warrant”) at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof (the “Original Issue

1 Definitions.
For purposes of this Warrant, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(a) “Affiliate”
means any Person directly or indirectly controlled by, controlling, or under common control with, a Holder, but only for so long as such
control shall continue. For purposes of this definition, “control” (including, with correlative meanings, “controlled
by,” “controlling” and “under common control with”) means, with respect to a Person, possession, direct
or indirect, of (a) the power to direct or cause direction of the management and policies of such Person (whether through ownership of
securities or partnership or other ownership interests, by contract or otherwise), or (b) at least 50% of the voting securities (whether
directly or pursuant to any option, warrant, or other similar arrangement) or other comparable equity interests.
(b) “Attribution
Parties” means, collectively, the following persons and entities: (i) any direct or indirect Affiliates of the Holder, (ii)
any investment vehicle, including, any funds, feeder funds or managed accounts, currently, or from time to time after the date hereof,

Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares would or could be aggregated with the Holder’s and/or any other Attribution Parties for
purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Exchange Act. For clarity, the purpose of the foregoing is to subject collectively the
Holder and all other Attribution Parties to the Maximum Percentage.
(c) “Commission”
means the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
A-2
(d) “Exchange
Act” means the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and all related rules, regulations and jurisprudence.
(f) “Principal
Trading Market” means the national securities exchange or other trading market on which the Class A Ordinary Shares are primarily
listed and quoted for trading, which, as of the Original Issue Date, shall be the Nasdaq Capital Market.
(g) “Registration

2023 and became effective on September 11, 2023.
(h) “Securities

listed or quoted on a national securities exchange or other trading market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Class A Ordinary
Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading
Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (ii) if the Class A Ordinary Shares then listed or quoted
for trading and neither OTCQB nor OTCQX is the Principal Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Class A Ordinary Shares
for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX, as applicable, (iii) if the Class A Ordinary Shares not then listed or
quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Class A Ordinary Shares are then reported in the “Pink Sheets”
published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent
bid price per share of the Class A Ordinary Shares so reported, or (iv) in all other cases, the fair market value of a Class A Ordinary
Share as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees
and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
2 Issuance
of Securities; Registration of Warrants. The Warrant, as initially issued by the Company, is offered and sold pursuant to
the Registration Statement. As of the Original Issue Date, the Warrant Shares are issuable under the Registration Statement. Accordingly,
the Warrant and, assuming issuance pursuant to the Registration Statement or an exchange meeting the requirements of Section 3(a)(9)
of the Exchange Act as in effect on the Original Issue Date, the Warrant Shares, are not “restricted securities” under Rule
144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by or on behalf of the
Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder (which shall include the initial
Holder or, as the case may be, any registered assignee to which this Warrant is permissibly assigned hereunder) from time to time. The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof
or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
A-3
3 Registration
of Transfers. Subject to compliance with all applicable securities laws, the Company shall, or will cause its Transfer Agent
to, register the transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, and payment
for all applicable transfer taxes (if any). Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares
in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”) evidencing the portion of this Warrant
so transferred shall be issued to the transferee, and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred,
if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance
by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations in respect of the New Warrant that the Holder has in respect of this Warrant.
The Company shall, or will cause its Transfer Agent to, prepare, issue, and deliver at the Company’s own expense any New Warrant
under this Section 3. Until due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company
may treat the registered Holder hereof as the owner and holder of this Warrant for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected
by any notice to the contrary.
4 Exercise
and Duration of Warrants
(a) All
or any part of this Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder in any manner permitted by Section 10 of
this Warrant at any time and from time to time on or after the Original Issue Date.
(b) The
Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached as Schedule 1 hereto
(the “Exercise Notice”), completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant
Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (which may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if so indicated in the
Exercise Notice pursuant to Section 10 below), and the date on which the last of such items is delivered to the Company
(as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.” The Holder shall not be required
to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the
same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number
of Warrant Shares, if any.
5 Delivery
of Warrant Shares.
(a) Upon
exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than one (1) Trading Day after the Exercise Date), upon the
request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of Class A Ordinary Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise
to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its
Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program
or if the certificates or book entry position are required to bear a legend regarding restriction on transferability, issue and dispatch
by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate or book entry position, registered in the Company’s
share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Class A Ordinary Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant
to such exercise. The Holder, or any natural person or legal entity (each, a “Person”) permissibly so designated by
the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date,
irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates
or book entry position evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be.
A-4
(b) If by
the close of the first Trading Day after the Exercise Date, the Company fails to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for
such number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled, and if after such first Trading Day and prior to the receipt of such Warrant
Shares, the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction, provided such purchases shall be made in a commercially reasonable manner
at prevailing market prices) Class A Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the
Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within two Trading Days after
the Holder’s request, in the Holder’s sole discretion, either (i) pay in cash to the Holder an amount equal to the Holder’s
total purchase price (including commercially reasonable brokerage commissions, if any) for the Class A Ordinary Shares so purchased, at
which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such Warrant Shares shall terminate, or (ii) (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount,
if any, by which (1) the Holder’s total purchase price (including commercially reasonable brokerage commissions, if any) for the
Class A Ordinary Shares purchased in the Buy-In exceeds (2) the product of (x) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required
to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue, times (y) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase
obligation was executed (assuming such sale was executed on commercially reasonable terms at prevailing market prices and, if the sale
was executed in multiple transactions, the volume weighted average price), and (B) at the option of the Holder, either (1) reinstate the
portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall
be deemed rescinded) or (2) deliver to the Holder the number of Class A Ordinary Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely
complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. The provisions of this Section 5(b) shall be the only
remedy available to the Holder in the event the Company fails to deliver to the Holder the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner
required pursuant to Section 5(a) and a Buy-In occurs. Irrespective of whether there is a Buy-In, no remedy shall be
available, notwithstanding the requirements of Section 5(a), unless and until the Company fails to deliver to the Holder
the required number of Warrant Shares by the close of the first Trading Day after the Exercise Date.
(c) To the
extent permitted by law and subject to Section 5(b), the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares
in accordance with and subject to the terms hereof (including the limitations set forth in Section 11 below) are absolute
and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any
provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment,
limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation
or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance that might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Subject to Section 5(b),
nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including,
without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver
certificates or a book entry position representing Class A Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms
hereof.
6 Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of a book entry position for Class A Ordinary Shares upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense (excluding
any applicable stamp duties) in respect of the issuance of such book entry shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the
Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved
in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or the Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate thereof.
The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving
Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
A-5
7 Replacement
of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange
and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt
of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft, or destruction (in such case) and, in each case, a customary
and reasonable indemnity and surety bond if requested by the Company. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also
comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe.
If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the
Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.
8 Reservation
of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times while this Warrant is outstanding reserve and keep available
out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Class A Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of enabling
it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares that are then issuable and
deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than
the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The
Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise
Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, and nonassessable. The Company will
take all such action as may be reasonably necessary to assure that such Class A Ordinary Shares may be issued as provided herein without
violation of any applicable law or regulation or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which
the Class A Ordinary Shares may be listed.
9 Certain
Adjustments. The number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is subject to adjustment from time to time
as set forth in this Section 9.
(a) Stock
Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Class A Ordinary
Shares or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock issued and outstanding on the Original Issue Date and in accordance
with the terms of such shares on the Original Issue Date or as amended, that is payable in Class A Ordinary Shares, (ii) subdivides its
outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares into a larger number of Class A Ordinary Shares, (iii) combines its outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares
into a smaller number of Class A Ordinary Shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of capital stock any additional Class A
Ordinary Shares of the Company, then in each such case the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant shall be divided by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately before such event and the denominator
of which shall be the number of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause
(i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive
such dividend or distribution, provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid on
the date fixed therefor, the number of Warrant Shares shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date
and thereafter the Warrant Shares shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends. Any
adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision
or combination.
A-6
(b) Pro
Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Class A Ordinary
Shares for no consideration (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Class A Ordinary Shares
covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) cash or any other asset
(in each case, “Distributed Property”), then, upon any exercise of this Warrant that occurs after the record date fixed
for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant
Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise (if applicable), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive
in respect of such number of Warrant Shares had the Holder been the record holder of such Warrant Shares immediately prior to such record
date without regard to any limitation on exercise contained therein; provided, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate
in any such distribution would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder
shall not be entitled to participate in such distribution to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such Class
A Ordinary Shares as a result of such distribution to such extent) and the portion of such distribution shall be held in abeyance for
the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties
exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such distribution (and any distributions declared
or made on such initial distribution or on any subsequent distribution held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had
been no such limitation.
(c) Purchase
Rights. If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities
or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property, in each case pro rata to the record holders of Class A Ordinary
Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase
Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Class A Ordinary
Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant,
including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or
sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Class A Ordinary Shares are to
be determined for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights; provided, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate
in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder
shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such
Class A Ordinary Shares as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and at the Holder’s election,
in its sole discretion, either (1) such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such
time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage,
at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase
Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation
or (2) the Company shall offer the Holder the right upon exercise of such Purchase Right to acquire a security (e.g. a pre-funded warrant)
that would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage but will otherwise to the extent
possible have economic and other rights, preferences and privileges substantially consistent and on par with the securities or other property
issuable upon exercise of the originally offered Purchase Rights. As used in this Section 9(c), (i) “Options” means any rights,
warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase Class A Ordinary Shares or Convertible Securities and (ii) “Convertible Securities”
mean any shares or securities (other than Options) directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A
Ordinary Shares.
A-7
(d) Fundamental
Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company
with or into another Person, in which the Company is not the surviving entity or in which the shareholders of the Company immediately
prior to such merger or consolidation do not own, directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately
after such merger or consolidation, (ii) the Company effects any sale to another Person of all or substantially all of its assets in one
transaction or a series of related transactions, (iii) pursuant to any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another
Person), holders of capital stock tender shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company and
the Company or such other Person, as applicable, accepts such tender for payment, (iv) the Company consummates a stock purchase agreement
or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with
another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company (except for any
such transaction in which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction maintain, in substantially the same proportions,
the voting power of such Person immediately after the transaction) or (v) the Company effects any reclassification of the Class A Ordinary
Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Class A Ordinary Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for
other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of Class A Ordinary Shares covered by Section
9(a) above) (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then following such Fundamental Transaction
the Holder shall have the right to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as
it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental
Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant without regard to any limitations
on exercise contained herein (the “Alternate Consideration”). The Company shall not effect any Fundamental Transaction
in which the Company is not the surviving entity or the Alternate Consideration includes securities of another Person unless (x) the Alternate
Consideration is solely cash and the Company provides for the simultaneous “cashless exercise” of this Warrant pursuant to
Section 10 below or (y) prior to, simultaneously with or promptly following the consummation thereof, any successor
to the Company, surviving entity or other Person (including any purchaser of assets of the Company) shall assume the obligation to deliver
to the Holder, such Alternate Consideration as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to receive, and
the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (d) shall similarly apply to subsequent transactions analogous
to a Fundamental Transaction type.
(e) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest share, as applicable.
(f) Notice
of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will,
at the written request of the Holder, promptly compute such adjustment, in good faith, in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and
prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail
the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate
to the Holder and to the Transfer Agent.
(g) Notice
of Corporate Events. If, while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash,
securities or other property in respect of its Class A Ordinary Shares, including, without limitation, any granting of rights or warrants
to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) enters into any definitive agreement contemplating
or soliciting shareholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding
up of the affairs of the Company, then, except if such notice and the contents thereof shall be deemed to constitute material non-public
information, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice of such transaction at least ten (10) days prior to the applicable record
or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Class A Ordinary Shares in order to participate in or vote with respect to such
transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity
of the corporate action required to be described in such notice. In addition, if while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company enters
into any definitive agreement contemplating or solicits shareholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction contemplated by Section
9(d), other than a Fundamental Transaction under clause (iii) of Section 9(d), the Company shall deliver
to the Holder a notice of such Fundamental Transaction at least ten (10) days prior to the date such Fundamental Transaction is consummated.
Holder agrees to maintain any information disclosed pursuant to this Section 9(g) in confidence until such information
is publicly available and shall comply with applicable law with respect to trading in the Company’s securities following receipt
of any such information.
A-8
10 Payment
of Exercise Price. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, satisfy
its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise,” in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder
the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:
X = Y [(A-B)/A]
where:
“X” equals the number of Warrant
Shares to be issued to the Holder;
“Y” equals the total number
of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised;
“A” equals the last VWAP immediately
preceding the time of delivery of the Exercise Notice giving rise to the applicable “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the
applicable Exercise Notice (to clarify, the “last VWAP” will be the last VWAP as calculated over an entire Trading Day such
that, in the event that this Warrant is exercised at a time that the Principal Trading Market is open, the prior Trading Day’s VWAP
shall be used in this calculation); and
“B” equals the Exercise Price
then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act, it is intended, understood, and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a “cashless exercise” transaction
shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced,
on the date this Warrant was originally issued (provided that the Commission continues to take the position that such treatment is proper
at the time of such exercise).
Except as set forth in Section 12 (payment
of cash in lieu of fractional shares), in no event will the exercise of this Warrant be settled in cash.
11 Limitations
on Exercise.
(a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in any Section herein, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall
not be entitled to exercise this Warrant for a number of Warrant Shares in excess of that number of Warrant Shares which, upon giving
effect to such exercise, would cause (i) the aggregate number of Class A Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and the other
Attribution Parties, to exceed [4.99][9.99% (or, at the election of the Holder prior to the issuance of the Warrant, 4.99%)] (the “Maximum
Percentage”) of the total number of issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company following such exercise, or
(ii) the combined voting power of the securities of the Company beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties to
exceed 9.99% of the combined voting power of all of the securities of the Company then outstanding following such exercise. For purposes
of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Class
A Ordinary Shares as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as
the case may be, filed with the Commission prior to the date hereof, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other
notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding. Upon the written request
of the Holder, the Company shall within three (3) Trading Days confirm in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of Class
A Ordinary Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect
to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder since the date as of which such number
of outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares was reported. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease
the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage specified not in excess of 19.99% (the “Maximum Cap”) in such notice;
provided that any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the
Company; provided, that the Maximum Cap shall only apply to the extent required by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(b) and if the Maximum
Cap is not applicable then the Warrant shall be fully exercisable. For purposes of this Section 11(a), the aggregate
number of Class A Ordinary Shares or voting securities beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include
the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall
exclude the number of Class A Ordinary Shares which would be issuable upon (x) exercise of the remaining unexercised and non-cancelled
portion of this Warrant by the Holder and (y) exercise or conversion of the unexercised, non-converted or non-cancelled portion of any
other securities of the Company that do not have voting power (including, without limitation, any securities of the Company which would
entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Class A Ordinary Shares, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred shares,
right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles
the holder thereof to receive, Class A Ordinary Shares), is subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation
contained herein and is beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties.
A-9
(b) This
Section 11 shall not restrict the number of Class A Ordinary Shares that a Holder may receive or beneficially own in
order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder may receive in the event of a Fundamental Transaction
as contemplated in Section 9 of this Warrant.
12 No
Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of
any fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the next whole
number and the Company shall pay the Holder in cash the fair market value (based on the last VWAP immediately preceding the time of delivery
of the applicable Exercise Notice) for any such fractional shares.
13 Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered
via confirmed e-mail at the e-mail address specified below prior to 4:00 P.M., New York City time, on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading
Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via confirmed e-mail at the e-mail address specified
below on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 4:00 P.M., New York City time, on any Trading Day, (iii) the second Trading Day
following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service specifying next business day delivery, or (iv)
upon actual receipt by the Person to whom such notice is required to be given, if by hand delivery. The e-mail address for purposes of
providing notice hereunder is: m.bodenstedt@moonlaketx.com.
14 Warrant
Agent. The Company shall initially serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Holder,
the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged, or any corporation
resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party, or any corporation to which the Company
or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant
agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant
agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.
15 Miscellaneous.
(a) No
Rights as a Shareholder. The Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to
vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this
Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights
of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue
of shares, reclassification of shares, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive
dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled
to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities
on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such
liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
A-10
(b) Authorized
Shares. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not, by any action, including, without
limitation, amend its articles of association or effect any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue,
or sale of securities or any other voluntary action to avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this
Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may
be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise
immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company
may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof
as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
(c) Successors
and Assigns. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant may be assigned by the Holder. This Warrant may not
be assigned by the Company without the written consent of the Holder except to a successor in the event of a Fundamental Transaction.
This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Company and the Holder and their respective successors and assigns. Subject
to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder any
legal or equitable right, remedy, or cause of action under this Warrant. This Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the Company
and the Holder, or their successors and assigns.
(d) Amendment
and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Warrant may be amended and the Company may take any action
herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent
of the Holder.
(e) Acceptance.
Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.
(f) Governing
Law; Jurisdiction. ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT, AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED

AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH

c/o
Leerink Partners LLC
53 State Street, 40th Floor
Boston, MA 02109
Re:
Proposed Public Offering by MoonLake Immunotherapeutics
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned, a shareholder,
officer and/or director of MoonLake Immunotherapeutics, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), understands
that Leerink Partners LLC (the “Representative”) proposes to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting
Agreement”) with the Company providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) of the Company’s
Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), and any other securities as may be determined
to be issued by the Company pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. In recognition of the benefit that such an offering will confer upon
the undersigned as a shareholder, an officer and/or a director of the Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with each underwriter to be named in the Underwriting Agreement
(collectively, the “Underwriters”) that, during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date that
is 45 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not, without the
prior written consent of the Representative, on behalf of the Underwriters, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract
to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the
sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any Shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power
of disposition (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”), or exercise any right with respect to the registration of
any of the Lock-Up Securities, or file or cause to be filed any registration statement in connection therewith, under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly
or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled
by delivery of Shares or other securities, in cash or otherwise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may transfer Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of the Representative,
provided, in each case, that (1) in the cases of (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (ix) and (x), the Representative receives a signed
lock-up agreement for the balance of the Lock-Up Period from each donee, trustee, distributee, or transferee, as the case may be, (2)
in the cases of (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (ix) and (x), any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (3) such
transfers are not required to be reported with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 4 in accordance with Section 16 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), other than in the case of a transfer or other
disposition pursuant to clauses (vii), (viii) and (xi), where any filing under the Exchange Act or other public filing, report or announcement
in connection with such transfer or distribution legally required during the Lock-Up Period shall clearly indicate by footnote disclosure
or otherwise the nature of the transfer or disposition, and (4) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing
or report regarding such transfers (other than a filing on a Form 5 made after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period):
(i) as a bona fide gift or gifts or for bona fide estate planning purposes;
B-2
(ii) to any member of the immediate family of the undersigned or any trust for the direct or indirect benefit
of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned (for purposes of this lock-up agreement, “immediate family”
shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin);
(iii) as a distribution or other transfer by a partnership to its partners or former partners or by a limited
liability company to its members or former members, or by a corporation to its shareholders or former shareholders or to any wholly-owned
subsidiary of such corporation, or by a trust contemplated in clause (ii) above to its beneficiaries;
(iv) to the undersigned’s affiliates or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed
by the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned;
(v) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or in connection with a divorce settlement;
(vi) by will, other testamentary document or intestate succession upon the death of the undersigned;
(vii) to the Company in satisfaction of any tax withholding obligation;

received shall be subject to the terms of this agreement;
(ix) to a charitable organization or educational institution;
(x) to a nominee or custodian of a person or entity to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible
under clauses (i) through (ix) above; or

plan that complies with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (“10b5-1 Trading Plan”) that has been entered into by the
undersigned prior to the date of this lock-up agreement and provided to the Representative and its counsel.
B-3
Furthermore, no provision
in this letter shall be deemed to restrict or prohibit (1) the transfer of the undersigned’s Lock-Up Securities to the Company in
connection with the termination of the undersigned’s services to the Company, provided that any filing under Section 16 of the Exchange
Act made in connection with such transfer shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that the filing relates to the circumstances
described in this clause (1); (2) the exercise or exchange by the undersigned of any option or warrant to acquire any Shares or options
to purchase Shares, in each case for cash or on a “cashless” or “net exercise” basis, pursuant to any share option,
share bonus or other share plan or arrangement; provided, however, that the underlying Shares shall continue to be subject to the restrictions
on transfer set forth in this letter and that any filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act made in connection with such exercise or
exchange shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that (a) the filing relates to the circumstances described in this clause (2)
and (b) no shares were sold by the reporting person; (3) the transfer of Lock-Up Securities upon the completion of a bona fide third-party
tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of the Company’s securities involving a change
of control of the Company (including, without limitation, the entering into of any lock-up, voting or similar agreement pursuant to which
the undersigned may agree to transfer, sell, tender or otherwise dispose of Shares or other such securities in connection with such transaction,
or vote any Shares or other securities in favor of any such transaction); provided, however, that in the event that such tender offer,
merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, such securities held by the undersigned shall remain subject to the
restrictions on transfer set forth in this letter; and (4) the conversion of outstanding preference shares of the Company into Shares,
provided that any such shares received upon such conversion shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this letter.
Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, nothing herein shall prevent the undersigned from establishing a 10b5-1 Trading Plan or from amending an existing 10b5-1
Trading Plan so long as there are no sales of Lock-Up Securities under any such 10b5-1 Trading Plan during the Lock-Up Period; provided,
however, that any public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act regarding the establishment or amendment of such 10b5-1 Trading
Plan shall clearly disclose that no Shares shall be disposed by such plan during the duration of the Lock-Up Period.
The undersigned also agrees
and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of
the Lock-Up Securities except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions. This lock-up agreement shall automatically terminate, and
the undersigned shall be released from the undersigned’s obligations hereunder, upon the earliest to occur, if any, of (i) prior
to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company advises the Representative in writing that it has determined not to proceed
with the Public Offering; (ii) the Underwriting Agreement is executed but is terminated prior to the closing of the Public Offering (other
than the provisions thereof which survive termination), or (iii) July 15, 2026, in the event that the Underwriting Agreement has not been
executed by such date.
This agreement shall be governed
by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading
Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (ii) if the Class A Ordinary Shares then listed or quoted
for trading and neither OTCQB nor OTCQX is the Principal Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Class A Ordinary Shares
for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX, as applicable, (iii) if the Class A Ordinary Shares not then listed or

2 Issuance
of Securities; Registration of Warrants. The Warrant, as initially issued by the Company, is offered and sold pursuant to
the Registration Statement. As of the Original Issue Date, the Warrant Shares are issuable under the Registration Statement. Accordingly,
the Warrant and, assuming issuance pursuant to the Registration Statement or an exchange meeting the requirements of Section 3(a)(9)
of the Exchange Act as in effect on the Original Issue Date, the Warrant Shares, are not “restricted securities” under Rule
144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by or on behalf of the
Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder (which shall include the initial
Holder or, as the case may be, any registered assignee to which this Warrant is permissibly assigned hereunder) from time to time. The
Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof
or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
2
3 Registration
of Transfers. Subject to compliance with all applicable securities laws, the Company shall, or will cause its Transfer Agent
to, register the transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, and payment
for all applicable transfer taxes (if any). Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares
in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”) evidencing the portion of this Warrant
so transferred shall be issued to the transferee, and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred,
if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance
by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations in respect of the New Warrant that the Holder has in respect of this Warrant.
The Company shall, or will cause its Transfer Agent to, prepare, issue, and deliver at the Company’s own expense any New Warrant
under this Section 3. Until due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company
may treat the registered Holder hereof as the owner and holder of this Warrant for all purposes, and the Company shall not be affected
by any notice to the contrary.
4 Exercise
and Duration of Warrants
(a) All
or any part of this Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder in any manner permitted by Section 10 of
this Warrant at any time and from time to time on or after the Original Issue Date.
(b) The
Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached as Schedule 1 hereto
(the “Exercise Notice”), completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant
Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (which may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if so indicated in the
Exercise Notice pursuant to Section 10 below), and the date on which the last of such items is delivered to the Company
(as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.” The Holder shall not be required
to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the
same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number
of Warrant Shares, if any.
5 Delivery
of Warrant Shares.
(a) Upon
exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than one (1) Trading Day after the Exercise Date), upon the
request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of Class A Ordinary Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise
to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its
Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program
or if the certificates or book entry position are required to bear a legend regarding restriction on transferability, issue and dispatch
by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate or book entry position, registered in the Company’s
share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Class A Ordinary Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant
to such exercise. The Holder, or any natural person or legal entity (each, a “Person”) permissibly so designated by
the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date,
irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates
or book entry position evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be.
3
(b) If by
the close of the first Trading Day after the Exercise Date, the Company fails to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for
such number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled, and if after such first Trading Day and prior to the receipt of such Warrant
Shares, the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction, provided such purchases shall be made in a commercially reasonable manner
at prevailing market prices) Class A Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the
Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within two Trading Days after
the Holder’s request, in the Holder’s sole discretion, either (i) pay in cash to the Holder an amount equal to the Holder’s
total purchase price (including commercially reasonable brokerage commissions, if any) for the Class A Ordinary Shares so purchased, at
which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such Warrant Shares shall terminate, or (ii) (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount,
if any, by which (1) the Holder’s total purchase price (including commercially reasonable brokerage commissions, if any) for the
Class A Ordinary Shares purchased in the Buy-In exceeds (2) the product of (x) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required
to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue, times (y) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase
obligation was executed (assuming such sale was executed on commercially reasonable terms at prevailing market prices and, if the sale
was executed in multiple transactions, the volume weighted average price), and (B) at the option of the Holder, either (1) reinstate the
portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall
be deemed rescinded) or (2) deliver to the Holder the number of Class A Ordinary Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely
complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. The provisions of this Section 5(b) shall be the only
remedy available to the Holder in the event the Company fails to deliver to the Holder the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner
required pursuant to Section 5(a) and a Buy-In occurs. Irrespective of whether there is a Buy-In, no remedy shall be
available, notwithstanding the requirements of Section 5(a), unless and until the Company fails to deliver to the Holder
the required number of Warrant Shares by the close of the first Trading Day after the Exercise Date.
(c) To the
extent permitted by law and subject to Section 5(b), the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares
in accordance with and subject to the terms hereof (including the limitations set forth in Section 11 below) are absolute
and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any
provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment,
limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation
or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance that might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Subject to Section 5(b),
nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including,
without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver
certificates or a book entry position representing Class A Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms
hereof.
6 Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of a book entry position for Class A Ordinary Shares upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense (excluding
any applicable stamp duties) in respect of the issuance of such book entry shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the
Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved
in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or the Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate thereof.
The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving
Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
4
7 Replacement
of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange
and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt
of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft, or destruction (in such case) and, in each case, a customary
and reasonable indemnity and surety bond if requested by the Company. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also
comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe.
If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the
Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.
8 Reservation
of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times while this Warrant is outstanding reserve and keep available
out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Class A Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of enabling
it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares that are then issuable and
deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than
the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The
Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise
Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, and nonassessable. The Company will
take all such action as may be reasonably necessary to assure that such Class A Ordinary Shares may be issued as provided herein without
violation of any applicable law or regulation or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which
the Class A Ordinary Shares may be listed.
9 Certain
Adjustments. The number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is subject to adjustment from time to time
as set forth in this Section 9.
(a) Stock
Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Class A Ordinary
Shares or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock issued and outstanding on the Original Issue Date and in accordance
with the terms of such shares on the Original Issue Date or as amended, that is payable in Class A Ordinary Shares, (ii) subdivides its
outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares into a larger number of Class A Ordinary Shares, (iii) combines its outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares
into a smaller number of Class A Ordinary Shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of capital stock any additional Class A
Ordinary Shares of the Company, then in each such case the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant shall be divided by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately before such event and the denominator
of which shall be the number of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause
(i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive
such dividend or distribution, provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid on
the date fixed therefor, the number of Warrant Shares shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date
and thereafter the Warrant Shares shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends. Any
adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision
or combination.
5
(b) Pro
Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Class A Ordinary
Shares for no consideration (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Class A Ordinary Shares
covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) cash or any other asset
(in each case, “Distributed Property”), then, upon any exercise of this Warrant that occurs after the record date fixed
for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant
Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise (if applicable), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive
in respect of such number of Warrant Shares had the Holder been the record holder of such Warrant Shares immediately prior to such record
date without regard to any limitation on exercise contained therein; provided, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate
in any such distribution would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder
shall not be entitled to participate in such distribution to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such Class
A Ordinary Shares as a result of such distribution to such extent) and the portion of such distribution shall be held in abeyance for
the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties
exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such distribution (and any distributions declared
or made on such initial distribution or on any subsequent distribution held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had
been no such limitation.
(c) Purchase
Rights. If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities
or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property, in each case pro rata to the record holders of Class A Ordinary
Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase
Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Class A Ordinary
Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant,
including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or
sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Class A Ordinary Shares are to
be determined for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights; provided, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate
in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder
shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such
Class A Ordinary Shares as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and at the Holder’s election,
in its sole discretion, either (1) such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such
time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage,
at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase
Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation
or (2) the Company shall offer the Holder the right upon exercise of such Purchase Right to acquire a security (e.g. a pre-funded warrant)
that would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage but will otherwise to the extent
possible have economic and other rights, preferences and privileges substantially consistent and on par with the securities or other property
issuable upon exercise of the originally offered Purchase Rights. As used in this Section 9(c), (i) “Options” means any rights,
warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase Class A Ordinary Shares or Convertible Securities and (ii) “Convertible Securities”
mean any shares or securities (other than Options) directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A
Ordinary Shares.
6
(d) Fundamental
Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company
with or into another Person, in which the Company is not the surviving entity or in which the shareholders of the Company immediately
prior to such merger or consolidation do not own, directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately
after such merger or consolidation, (ii) the Company effects any sale to another Person of all or substantially all of its assets in one
transaction or a series of related transactions, (iii) pursuant to any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another
Person), holders of capital stock tender shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company and
the Company or such other Person, as applicable, accepts such tender for payment, (iv) the Company consummates a stock purchase agreement
or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with
another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company (except for any
such transaction in which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction maintain, in substantially the same proportions,
the voting power of such Person immediately after the transaction) or (v) the Company effects any reclassification of the Class A Ordinary
Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Class A Ordinary Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for
other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of Class A Ordinary Shares covered by Section
9(a) above) (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then following such Fundamental Transaction
the Holder shall have the right to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as
it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental
Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant without regard to any limitations
on exercise contained herein (the “Alternate Consideration”). The Company shall not effect any Fundamental Transaction
in which the Company is not the surviving entity or the Alternate Consideration includes securities of another Person unless (x) the Alternate
Consideration is solely cash and the Company provides for the simultaneous “cashless exercise” of this Warrant pursuant to
Section 10 below or (y) prior to, simultaneously with or promptly following the consummation thereof, any successor
to the Company, surviving entity or other Person (including any purchaser of assets of the Company) shall assume the obligation to deliver
to the Holder, such Alternate Consideration as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to receive, and
the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (d) shall similarly apply to subsequent transactions analogous
to a Fundamental Transaction type.
(e) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest share, as applicable.
(f) Notice
of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will,
at the written request of the Holder, promptly compute such adjustment, in good faith, in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and
prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail
the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate
to the Holder and to the Transfer Agent.
(g) Notice
of Corporate Events. If, while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash,
securities or other property in respect of its Class A Ordinary Shares, including, without limitation, any granting of rights or warrants
to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) enters into any definitive agreement contemplating
or soliciting shareholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding
up of the affairs of the Company, then, except if such notice and the contents thereof shall be deemed to constitute material non-public
information, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice of such transaction at least ten (10) days prior to the applicable record
or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Class A Ordinary Shares in order to participate in or vote with respect to such
transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity
of the corporate action required to be described in such notice. In addition, if while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company enters
into any definitive agreement contemplating or solicits shareholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction contemplated by Section
9(d), other than a Fundamental Transaction under clause (iii) of Section 9(d), the Company shall deliver
to the Holder a notice of such Fundamental Transaction at least ten (10) days prior to the date such Fundamental Transaction is consummated.
Holder agrees to maintain any information disclosed pursuant to this Section 9(g) in confidence until such information
is publicly available and shall comply with applicable law with respect to trading in the Company’s securities following receipt
of any such information.
7
10 Payment
of Exercise Price. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, satisfy
its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise,” in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder
the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:
X = Y [(A-B)/A]
where:
“X” equals the number of Warrant
Shares to be issued to the Holder;
“Y” equals the total number
of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised;
“A” equals the last VWAP immediately
preceding the time of delivery of the Exercise Notice giving rise to the applicable “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the
applicable Exercise Notice (to clarify, the “last VWAP” will be the last VWAP as calculated over an entire Trading Day such
that, in the event that this Warrant is exercised at a time that the Principal Trading Market is open, the prior Trading Day’s VWAP
shall be used in this calculation); and
“B” equals the Exercise Price
then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act, it is intended, understood, and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a “cashless exercise” transaction
shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced,
on the date this Warrant was originally issued (provided that the Commission continues to take the position that such treatment is proper
at the time of such exercise).
Except as set forth in Section 12 (payment
of cash in lieu of fractional shares), in no event will the exercise of this Warrant be settled in cash.
11 Limitations
on Exercise.
(a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in any Section herein, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall
not be entitled to exercise this Warrant for a number of Warrant Shares in excess of that number of Warrant Shares which, upon giving
effect to such exercise, would cause (i) the aggregate number of Class A Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and the other
Attribution Parties, to exceed [4.99][9.99% (or, at the election of the Holder prior to the issuance of the Warrant, 4.99%)] (the “Maximum
Percentage”) of the total number of issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company following such exercise, or
(ii) the combined voting power of the securities of the Company beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties to
exceed 9.99% of the combined voting power of all of the securities of the Company then outstanding following such exercise. For purposes
of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Class
A Ordinary Shares as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as
the case may be, filed with the Commission prior to the date hereof, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other
notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding. Upon the written request
of the Holder, the Company shall within three (3) Trading Days confirm in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of Class
A Ordinary Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect
to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder since the date as of which such number
of outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares was reported. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease
the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage specified not in excess of 19.99% (the “Maximum Cap”) in such notice;
provided that any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the
Company; provided, that the Maximum Cap shall only apply to the extent required by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(b) and if the Maximum
Cap is not applicable then the Warrant shall be fully exercisable. For purposes of this Section 11(a), the aggregate
number of Class A Ordinary Shares or voting securities beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include
the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall
exclude the number of Class A Ordinary Shares which would be issuable upon (x) exercise of the remaining unexercised and non-cancelled
portion of this Warrant by the Holder and (y) exercise or conversion of the unexercised, non-converted or non-cancelled portion of any
other securities of the Company that do not have voting power (including, without limitation, any securities of the Company which would
entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Class A Ordinary Shares, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred shares,
right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles
the holder thereof to receive, Class A Ordinary Shares), is subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation
contained herein and is beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties.
8
(b) This
Section 11 shall not restrict the number of Class A Ordinary Shares that a Holder may receive or beneficially own in
order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder may receive in the event of a Fundamental Transaction
as contemplated in Section 9 of this Warrant.
12 No
Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of
any fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the next whole
number and the Company shall pay the Holder in cash the fair market value (based on the last VWAP immediately preceding the time of delivery
of the applicable Exercise Notice) for any such fractional shares.
13 Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in

Dear Addressees
MoonLake
Immunotherapeutics
We have been asked to provide this legal opinion
to you with regards to the laws of the Cayman Islands in connection with the Registration Statement (as defined in Schedule 1) filed by
MoonLake Immunotherapeutics (the “Company”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the
United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Prospectus Supplement (as defined
in Schedule 1) thereto relating to the offering, issue, and sale (the “Offering”) by the Company of up to:
1. 10,500,000 Class A ordinary shares (the
“Firm Shares”) (which includes up to an additional 1,500,000 Class A ordinary
shares which the Underwriters (as defined in Schedule 1) have the option to purchase from
the Company), in each case with a par value US$0.0001 per share in the capital of the Company
(“Class A Shares”); and
2. 1,000,000 Class A Shares issuable upon exercise of pre-funded warrants to purchase Class A Shares (the
“Warrants” and the Class A Shares issuable under the terms of the Warrants, the “Warrant Shares” and
together with the Firm Shares, the “Shares”).
For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have
examined and relied upon the originals or copies or translations of the documents listed in Schedule 1.
We are Cayman Islands Attorneys at Law and express
no opinion as to any laws other than the laws of the Cayman Islands in force and as interpreted at the date of this opinion. We have not,
for the purposes of this opinion, made any investigation of the laws, rules or regulations of any other jurisdiction. Except as explicitly
stated herein, we express no opinion in relation to any representation or warranty contained in the Documents (as defined in Schedule
1) nor upon matters of fact or the commercial terms contemplated by the Documents.

WALKERS
Based upon the foregoing examinations and the
assumptions and qualifications set out below and having regard to legal considerations which we consider relevant, and under the laws
of the Cayman Islands, we give the following opinion in relation to the matters set out below.
1. The Company is an exempted company duly incorporated with limited liability, validly existing under the
laws of the Cayman Islands and in good standing with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands (the “Registrar”).
2. The Firm Shares, as contemplated by the Documents (as defined in Schedule 1), have been duly authorised
by all necessary corporate action of the Company. Upon the issue of the Firm Shares (by the entry of the name of the registered owner
thereof in the Register of Members of the Company confirming that such Firm Shares have been issued credited as fully paid), delivery
and payment therefore by the purchaser (for consideration not being less than their par value) in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles
of Association (as defined in Schedule 1) and in the manner contemplated by the Documents, the Firm Shares will be validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable (meaning that no additional sums may be levied in respect of the Firm Shares on the holder thereof by
the Company).
3. The execution, delivery and performance of the Warrants will have been duly authorised by all necessary
corporate action of the Company and, once the Warrants have been duly executed and unconditionally delivered by the Company, such documents
will be duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company and will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company,
enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.
4. The Warrant Shares, as contemplated by the Documents, have been duly authorised by all necessary corporate
action of the Company. Upon the exercise of the Warrants and the issue of the Warrant Shares (by the entry of the name of the registered
owner thereof in the register of members of the Company confirming that such Warrant Shares have been issued credited as fully paid),
delivery and payment therefore by the purchaser in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association (as defined in Schedule
1) and in the manner contemplated by the Documents, the Warrant Shares will be validly created, legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable
(meaning that no additional sums may be levied in respect of the Warrant Shares on the holder thereof by the Company).
The foregoing opinion is given based on the following
assumptions.
1. The originals of all documents examined in connection with this opinion are authentic. The signatures,
initials and seals on the Documents (as defined in Schedule 1) are genuine and are those of a person or persons given power to execute
the Documents under the Resolutions (as defined in Schedule 1). All documents purporting to be sealed have been so sealed. All copies
are complete and conform to their originals. Any translations are a complete and accurate translation of the original document they purport
to translate. The Documents conform in every material respect to the latest drafts of the same produced to us and, where provided in successive
drafts, have been marked up to indicate all changes to such Documents.
2. We have relied upon the statements and representations of directors, officers and other representatives
of the Company as to factual matters.
3. The Memorandum and Articles of Association reviewed by us will be the memorandum and articles of association
of the Company in effect upon the issuance of the Shares and Warrants.
2
WALKERS
4. The Prospectus Supplement and the documents or agreements referred to therein will be duly authorised,
executed and delivered by or on behalf of all relevant parties prior to the issue and sale of the Shares and Warrants and will be legal,
valid, binding and enforceable against all relevant parties in accordance with their terms under all relevant laws (other than the laws
of the Cayman Islands).
5. The Company will offer, issue and sell the Shares and Warrants in the manner contemplated by the Documents
(as applicable) and in the manner contemplated by the Prospectus Supplement and the documents or agreements referred to therein and otherwise
in compliance with all applicable United States federal and state securities laws.
6. The Company Records (as defined in Schedule 1) are complete and accurate and all matters required by law
and the Memorandum and Articles of Association to be recorded therein are completely and accurately so recorded.
7. The accuracy and completeness of all factual representations made in the Prospectus Supplement and the
Registration Statement and all other documents reviewed by us.
8. The Company will receive consideration in money or money’s worth for each of the Shares and Warrants
when issued, such price in any event not being less than the stated par or nominal value of a Share.
9. The Resolutions are and shall remain in full force and effect and have not been and will not be rescinded
or amended. The Resolutions have been duly executed (and where by a corporate entity such execution has been duly authorised if so required)
by or on behalf of each Director / member of the Pricing Committee and the signatures and initials thereon are those of a person or persons
in whose name the Resolutions have been expressed to be signed. The Pricing Committee Resolutions (as defined in Schedule 1) were duly
adopted at a duly convened meeting of the Pricing Committee of the Company and such meeting was held and conducted in accordance with
the Memorandum and Articles.
10. The Documents, have been, or will be, duly authorised, executed and delivered by or on behalf of all relevant
parties and are, or will be, legal, valid, binding and enforceable against all relevant parties in accordance with their terms under all
relevant laws (other than the laws of the Cayman Islands).
11. The choice of the laws of the jurisdiction selected to govern each of the Documents has been made in good
faith and will be regarded as a valid and binding selection which will be upheld in the courts of that jurisdiction and all relevant jurisdictions
(other than the Cayman Islands).
12. All preconditions to the issue of the Shares and Warrants under the terms of the Documents (as applicable)
will be satisfied or duly waived prior to the issue of the Shares and Warrants and there will be no breach of the terms of the Documents
(as applicable).
13. The issue of the Shares and Warrants will be of commercial benefit to the Company.
3
WALKERS
14. No invitation has been made or will be made by or on behalf of the Company to the public in the Cayman
Islands to subscribe for any of the Shares or Warrants.
15. There are no provisions of the laws of any jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands which would be contravened
by the issuance and allotment of the Shares or Warrants and, insofar as any obligation expressed to be incurred under any of the Documents
is to be performed in or is otherwise subject to the laws of any jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands, its performance will not be
illegal by virtue of the laws of that jurisdiction.
16. There is nothing under any law (other than the laws of the Cayman Islands) which would or might affect
any of the opinions set forth above.
17. There will be nothing in the Prospectus Supplement which would or might affect any of the opinions set
forth above.
18. The Company was, or will be, on the date of execution of the Documents to which it is a party able to
pay its debts as they became due from its own moneys, and any disposition or settlement of property effected by any of the Documents is
made in good faith and for valuable consideration and at the time of each disposition of property by the Company pursuant to the Documents
the Company will be able to pay its debts as they become due from its own moneys.
19. On the date of issuance of any Share or Warrant, the Company will have sufficient authorised and unissued
share capital.
20. No amounts paid to or for the account of any party under the Documents or any property received or disposed
of by any party to the Documents in each case in connection with the performance of the Documents or the consummation of the transactions
contemplated thereby, represent or will represent proceeds of criminal conduct or criminal property as defined in the Proceeds of Crime
Act (as amended) (the “POCA”) or terrorist property as
defined in the POCA or the Terrorism Act (as amended) (the “Terrorism
Act”), each of the Cayman Islands.
21. As a matter of all relevant laws (other than the laws of the Cayman Islands) none of the Documents constitute
a security interest.
The opinions expressed above are subject to the
following qualifications:
1. The term “enforceable”
and its cognates as used in this opinion means that the obligations assumed by any party under the Documents are of a type which the courts
of the Cayman Islands (the “Courts” and each a “Court”)
enforce. This does not mean that those obligations will necessarily be enforced in all circumstances in accordance with their terms. In
particular:
(a) enforcement of obligations and the priority of obligations may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation,
restructuring, reorganisation, readjustment of debts or moratorium and other laws of general application relating to or affecting the
rights of creditors or by prescription or lapse of time;
4
WALKERS
(b) enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity and, in particular, the availability of certain
equitable remedies such as injunction or specific performance of an obligation may be limited where a Court considers damages to be an
adequate remedy;
(c) claims may become barred under statutes of limitation or may be or become subject to defences of set-off,
counterclaim, estoppel and similar defences;
(d) where obligations are to be performed in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands, they may not be enforceable
in the Cayman Islands to the extent that performance would be illegal under the laws of, or contrary to the public policy of, that jurisdiction;
(e) a judgment of a Court may be required to be made in Cayman Islands dollars;
(f) to the extent that any provision of the Documents is adjudicated to be penal in nature, it will not be
enforceable in the Courts; in particular, the enforceability of any provision of the Documents that is adjudicated to constitute a secondary
obligation which imposes a detriment on the contract-breaker out of all proportion to any legitimate interest of the innocent party in
the enforcement of the primary obligation may be limited;
(g) to the extent that the performance of any obligation arising under the Documents would be fraudulent or
contrary to public policy, it will not be enforceable in the Courts;
(h) in the case of an insolvent liquidation of the Company, its liabilities are required to be translated
into the functional currency of the Company (being the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operated as at the commencement
of the liquidation) at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of commencement of the voluntary liquidation or the day on which the
winding up order is made (as the case may be);
(i) a Court will not necessarily award costs in litigation in accordance with contractual provisions in this
regard; and
(j) the effectiveness of terms in the Documents excusing any party from a liability or duty otherwise owed
or indemnifying that party from the consequences of incurring such liability or breaching such duty shall be construed in accordance with,
and shall be limited by, applicable law, including generally applicable rules and principles of common law and equity.
2. Our opinion as to good standing is based solely upon receipt of the Certificate of Good Standing (as defined
in Schedule 1) issued by the Registrar. The Company shall be deemed to be in good standing under section 200A of the Companies Act on
the date of issue of the certificate if all fees and penalties under the Companies Act have been paid and the Registrar has no knowledge
that the Company is in default under the Companies Act.

WALKERS
This opinion is limited to the matters referred
to herein and shall not be construed as extending to any other matter or document not referred to herein. This opinion is given
solely for your benefit and the benefit of your legal advisers acting in that capacity in relation to this transaction and may not be
relied upon by any other person, other than persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act, without
our prior written consent.
This opinion shall be construed in accordance
with the laws of the Cayman Islands.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion
as Exhibit 5.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on 25 June 2026 and further consent to all references to us in the Registration
Statement and/or Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Legal Matters” and any amendments thereto.
