Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
Bicycle Therapeutics plc (the “Company”)
held its annual general meeting of shareholders (the “AGM”) on June 17, 2026. Each of the proposals set forth below were voted
on and duly passed on a poll at the AGM. Detailed descriptions of these proposals and of the voting procedures applied at the AGM are
contained in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April
22, 2026.
There were 49,696,908 ordinary shares of the Company
represented in person or by proxy at the AGM, constituting approximately 98.64% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares on June
17, 2026. Proxy appointments which gave the Chairman of the meeting discretion have been included in the “For” total. In accordance
with the terms of the deposit agreement by and among the Company, Citibank, N.A., as depositary, and holders and beneficial owners of
American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) dated May 28, 2019, holders of ADSs who did not provide the depositary bank with voting
instructions on or before the specified deadline were deemed to have instructed the depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person
designated by the Company to vote the underlying ordinary shares at the AGM and the voting results below reflect that designation. A vote
withheld/abstain is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of votes for or against a resolution.
