Dear Stockholder:

        On behalf of the Board of Directors of Replimune Group, Inc. (the "Company", "we" or "Replimune"), I invite you to attend our 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2019 Annual Meeting"). The 2019 Annual Meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 4, 2019, at 2:00 p.m., Eastern Time, at the offices of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, One Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110.

        The matters to be voted upon at the 2019 Annual Meeting are listed in the Notice of 2019 Annual Meeting and more fully described in the proxy statement accompanying this letter (the "Proxy Statement").

        We know that many of our Company's stockholders (each, a "Stockholder", and collectively, the "Stockholders") will be unable to attend the 2019 Annual Meeting in person. We, therefore, are soliciting proxies so that each Stockholder has an opportunity to vote on the matters that are scheduled to come before the Stockholders at the 2019 Annual Meeting. You may vote over the Internet, by telephone, or by signing, dating and returning your proxy card promptly in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. Submitting your vote via the Internet or by telephone or proxy card will not affect your right to vote in person if you decide to attend the 2019 Annual Meeting. You may revoke your proxy at any time prior to the time it is voted at the 2019 Annual Meeting. If your shares are held in street name (held for your account by a broker or other nominee), you will receive instructions from your broker or other nominee explaining how to vote your shares, and you will have the option to cast your vote by telephone or over the Internet if your voting instruction form from your broker or nominee includes instructions and a telephone number or Internet website to do so. Regardless of the number of shares you own, your presence in person or by proxy is important for quorum purposes and your vote is important for proper corporate action.

        Thank you for your continuing interest in the Company. We look forward to seeing you at the 2019 Annual Meeting.

    Sincerely,

 

 

/s/ ROBERT COFFIN

NOTICE OF 2019 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

        The 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2019 Annual Meeting") of Replimune Group, Inc. (the "Company", "we" or "Replimune") will be held on Wednesday, September 4, 2019, at 2:00 p.m., Eastern Time, at the offices of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, One Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110 for the purpose of considering three company-sponsored proposals:

        We will also consider and act upon any other matters that properly come before the 2019 Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

        Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote "FOR" each of the nominees for Class I director (Proposal No. 1); "FOR" the amendment of the Company's certificate of incorporation (Proposal No. 2); and "FOR" ratification of the proposed independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal No. 3).

        Our Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on July 17, 2019 as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the 2019 Annual Meeting. Therefore, each outstanding share of Replimune's common stock (Nasdaq: REPL) entitles the holder of record of such shares at the close of business on July 17, 2019 to receive notice of and to vote at the 2019 Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the 2019 Annual Meeting.

        All stockholders as of the record date, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend the meeting. If you attend, you will be asked to present valid picture identification such as a driver's license or passport. If your stock is held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and this proxy statement is being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee. As a result, your name does not appear on our list of stockholders. If your stock is held in street name, in addition to picture identification, you should bring with you a letter or account statement showing that you were the beneficial owner of our stock on the record date, in order to be admitted to the meeting.

        Whether or not you expect to attend the meeting, we urge you to vote your shares by Internet, telephone, or by signing, dating and returning the proxy card included in these materials. If you choose to attend the 2019 Annual Meeting, you may still vote your shares in person, even if you have previously voted or returned your proxy by any of the methods described in our proxy statement. If your shares are held in street name in a bank or brokerage account, please refer to the materials provided by your bank, broker or other nominee for voting instructions.

        All stockholders are extended a cordial invitation to attend the meeting.

 
   
    By Order of the Board of Directors,

PROXY STATEMENT FOR 2019 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To Be Held On Wednesday, September 4, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time,
At the offices of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP,
At One Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110

GENERAL INFORMATION

When are this proxy statement and the accompanying materials scheduled to be sent to stockholders?

        This proxy statement and accompanying proxy card, or for shares held in street name (held for your account by a broker or other nominee), voting instruction form, are scheduled to be first sent to stockholders beginning on [    ·    ], 2019.

Who is soliciting my vote?

        The Board of Directors (the "Board") of Replimune Group, Inc. (the "Company", "we" or "Replimune") is soliciting your vote for the proposals to be voted on at our 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2019 Annual Meeting").

When is the record date for the Annual Meeting?

        Replimune's Board has fixed the record date for the 2019 Annual Meeting as of the close of business on July 17, 2019 for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the 2019 Annual Meeting.

How many votes can be cast by all stockholders?

        A total of 31,666,182 shares of common stock of Replimune were outstanding on July 17, 2019 and are entitled to be voted at the 2019 Annual Meeting. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter presented at the 2019 Annual Meeting. There is no cumulative voting.

How do I vote?

        If you are a stockholder of record and your shares are registered directly in your name, you may vote:

Table of Contents

        If your shares are held in street name (held for your account by a broker or other nominee), you may vote:

What are the Board's recommendations on how to vote my shares?

        The Board recommends a vote:

Who pays the cost for soliciting proxies?

        Replimune will bear the cost of solicitation of proxies. This includes the charges and expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding solicitation material to beneficial owners of our outstanding common stock. Replimune may solicit proxies by mail, personal interview, telephone or via the Internet through its officers, directors and other management employees, who will receive no additional compensation for their services.

Can I change or revoke my vote?

        You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by notifying Investor Relations at Replimune in writing at our principal executive offices, by returning a signed proxy with a later date, by transmitting a subsequent vote over the Internet or by telephone prior to the close of the Internet voting facility or the telephone voting facility, or by attending the meeting and voting in person. If your stock is held in street name, you must contact your broker or nominee for instructions as to how to change or revoke your vote.

How is a quorum reached?

        The presence, in person or by proxy, of holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the 2019 Annual Meeting. Abstentions and "broker non-votes," if any, will be counted as present and entitled to

2


Table of Contents

vote for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present for the transaction of business at the 2019 Annual Meeting.

        "Broker non-votes" are shares represented at the 2019 Annual Meeting held by brokers, banks or other nominees (i.e., in "street name") which do not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Generally, nominees may vote to ratify the selection of independent auditors and on other "discretionary" or "routine" items. In contrast, nominees may not vote to elect directors, because those proposals are considered "non-discretionary" items. Accordingly, if you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares on "non-discretionary" matters, your broker, bank or other nominee will not be permitted to vote your shares on these matters. This is a "broker non-vote."

What vote is required to approve each item?

        Required Vote—Election of Directors (Proposal No. 1).    Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in person or represented by proxy at the 2019 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. This means that the three individuals receiving the highest number of "FOR" votes will be elected as directors. Votes that are withheld and broker non-votes will not be treated as votes cast for this purpose and, therefore, will not affect the outcome of the election.

        Required Vote—Amendment of our certificate of incorporation (Proposal No. 2).    The affirmative vote of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding shares of our capital stock present in person or represented by proxy at the 2019 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote is required to approve the amendment of our certificate of incorporation. An abstention is treated as present and entitled to vote and, therefore, has the effect of a vote "against" the amendment of our certificate of incorporation. Broker non-votes will not be treated as votes cast for this purpose and, therefore, will not affect the outcome of the proposal.

        Required Vote—Ratification of the Selection of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Proposal No. 3).    The affirmative vote of a majority of shares of our common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the 2019 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote is required to ratify the selection of our independent auditors. An abstention is treated as present and entitled to vote and, therefore, has the effect of a vote "against" ratification of the independent auditors. Because the ratification of the independent auditors is a routine matter, a nominee holding shares in street name may vote on this proposal in the absence of instructions from the beneficial owner.

        If there are insufficient votes to approve these proposals, your proxy may be voted by the persons named in the proxy card to adjourn the 2019 Annual Meeting in order to solicit additional proxies in favor of the approval of such proposals. If the 2019 Annual Meeting is adjourned or postponed for any purpose, at any subsequent reconvening of the meeting, your proxy will be voted in the same manner as it would have been voted at the original convening of the 2019 Annual Meeting unless you withdraw or revoke your proxy.

Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?

        Replimune does not know of any other matters that may be presented for action at the 2019 Annual Meeting. Should any other business properly come before the 2019 Annual Meeting, the persons named on the enclosed proxy will have discretionary authority to vote the shares represented by such proxies in accordance with their best judgment to the same extent as the person signing the proxy would be entitled to vote. If you hold shares through a broker, bank or other nominee, as described above, they will not be able to vote your shares on any other business that comes before the 2019 Annual Meeting unless they receive instructions from you with respect to such matter.

Table of Contents

What happens if the meeting is postponed or adjourned?

        Your proxy may be voted at the postponed or adjourned meeting. You will still be able to change your proxy until it is voted.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card or voting instruction form?

        It means that you have multiple accounts at the transfer agent or with brokers. Please complete and return all proxy cards or voting instruction forms to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

Where can I find the voting results of the meeting?

        The preliminary voting results will be announced at the 2019 Annual Meeting. The final results will be disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the 2019 Annual Meeting date.

What are the implications of being an "emerging growth company"?

        We are an "emerging growth company" as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act of 2012 and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements. These reduced reporting requirements include reduced disclosure about Replimune's executive compensation arrangements and no non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) March 31, 2024, (2) the last day of the fiscal year (a) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (b) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the prior September 30th, and (3) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

Who should I call if I have any additional questions?

        If you hold your shares directly, please call Investor Relations at +1 (339) 970-2843. If your shares are held in street name, please contact the telephone number provided on your voting instruction form or contact your broker or nominee holder directly.


Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the
2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be Held on September 4, 2019

        The Notice of 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 are available free of charge at www.envisionreports.com/REPL or www.replimune.com under "Investors and Media" at "Financials & Filings."

PROPOSAL NO. 1—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

        In accordance with Replimune's certificate of incorporation and bylaws, each as currently amended and in effect, the Board is divided into three classes of directors of approximately equal size. The members of each class of directors are elected to serve a three-year term with the term of office of each class ending in successive years. Philip Astley-Sparke, Kapil Dhingra, and Joseph Slattery are the Class I directors whose terms expire at the 2019 Annual Meeting. Each of Philip Astley-Sparke, Kapil Dhingra, and Joseph Slattery has been nominated for, and has agreed to stand for, election to the Board to serve as a Class I director of Replimune for three years until the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal.

        It is intended that, unless you give contrary instructions, shares represented by proxies will be voted for the election of each of the three nominees listed above as director nominees. Replimune has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve. In the event that one or more nominees is unexpectedly not available to serve, proxies may be voted for another person nominated as a substitute by the Board, or the Board may reduce the number of directors to be elected at the 2019 Annual Meeting. Information relating to each nominee for election as director and for each continuing director, including his period of service as a director of Replimune, principal occupation and other biographical material, is included below.

        A plurality of the votes cast at the meeting will be required for the election of the Class I director nominees. The three nominees for director with the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected as directors. Broker non-votes and abstentions will not be treated as votes cast for this purpose and, therefore, will not affect the outcome of the election.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR"
EACH OF THESE NOMINEES FOR CLASS I DIRECTOR.

(PROPOSAL NO. 1 ON YOUR PROXY CARD)

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Board Composition and Structure

        Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, each as currently amended and in effect, state that our Board will consist of a number of directors that will be fixed exclusively by the Board from time to time in accordance with the bylaws of the Company. Each director holds office until his successor is duly elected and qualified or until his death, incapacity, resignation or removal. Our certificate of incorporation provides that our directors may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Replimune entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, at a meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose. Any vacancy in the Board, including a vacancy that results from an increase in the number of directors, may be filled only by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director.

        Our certificate of incorporation, as currently amended and in effect, provides that our Board is divided into three classes of directors, with the classes as nearly equal in number as possible. Each of our directors identified below serves in the class indicated. Subject to any earlier resignation or removal in accordance with the terms of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, our current Class I directors, if elected, will serve until the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; our current Class II directors will serve until the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; and our current Class III directors will serve until the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be apportioned by our Board among the three classes as equally as possible.

        Our Board is currently comprised of nine members. Below is a list of the names, ages as of July 17, 2019 and classification of the individuals who currently serve as our directors or are nominees to be elected at the 2019 Annual Meeting.

        In consultation with our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board has determined that the classified board structure remains appropriate for the Company at this time. A classified board provides for stability, continuity and experience among our Board. Further, the Board believes that building a cohesive board is an important goal. In our industry in particular, long-term focus is critical. The time horizon required for successful development of biologics makes it vital that we have a board that understands the implications of this process and has the ability to develop and implement long-term strategies while benefiting from an in-depth knowledge of Replimune's business and operations. A classified board structure helps to ensure that there will be the continuity and

Table of Contents

stability of leadership required to navigate a challenging development environment while resisting the pressure to focus on short-term results at the expense of the long-term value and success of the Company. The future success of Replimune depends in significant part on the ability to attract and retain capable and experienced directors. In this regard, we believe that longer terms for our directors enhances director independence from both management and stockholder special interest groups.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Director Independence

        Under the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market, or Nasdaq, a majority of a listed company's board of directors must be comprised of independent directors. In addition, Nasdaq rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company's audit committee and compensation committee be independent and satisfy additional independence criteria set forth in Rules 10A-3 and 10C-1, respectively, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Under Nasdaq rules, a director will only qualify as an "independent director" if, in the opinion of that company's board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

        Based upon information requested from and provided by our directors and nominees concerning their background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our Board has determined, upon the recommendation of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, that each of our directors and nominees other than Robert Coffin, Ph.D., our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Philip Astley-Sparke, our Executive Chairman, Secretary, and Treasurer, has no relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and is independent within the meaning of the director independence standards of Nasdaq and the Securities Exchange Commission, or SEC, rules and regulations. Our Board has also determined that each of the current members of our Audit Committee and our Compensation Committee as set forth in the "Board Committees" section below satisfies the independence standards for such committee. In making such determination, our Board considered the relationships that each non-employee director has with Replimune and all other facts and circumstances deemed relevant in determining their independence.

        There are no family relationships among any of our directors, nominees or executive officers.

Board Meetings, Attendance and Executive Sessions

        The Board held four (4) meetings and took action by written consent two (2) times during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. All board members attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and the committees of the Board on which they served.

        Executive sessions, or meetings of the outside (non-management) directors without management present, are held regularly. The non-management directors met in executive session during each of the regularly scheduled Board meetings during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.

        Replimune encourages its directors to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Board of Directors Leadership Structure

        The positions of chairman of the Board and chief executive officer are presently separated. Our Board recognizes the time, effort and energy that the chief executive officer is required to devote to his position in the current business environment, as well as the commitment required to serve as our chairman, particularly as the Board's oversight responsibilities continue to grow. Our Board believes that having separate positions is the appropriate leadership structure for us at this time and demonstrates our commitment to good corporate governance.

        Mr. Astley-Sparke serves as Executive Chairman of our Board. Given Mr. Astley-Sparke's executive role, the Board has appointed a lead independent director to provide an additional measure of balance, to ensure the Board's independence, and to enhance the Board's ability to fulfill its management oversight responsibilities. Joseph Slattery currently serves as the lead independent director. The lead independent director is responsible for (i) calling and presiding over meetings of the

11


Table of Contents

independent members of the Board; (ii) calling meetings of the Board; (iii) acting as the principal liaison between the independent members of the Board and the executive chairman and/or chief executive officer; (iv) advising the executive chairman and/or chief executive officer as to the quality, quantity, and timeliness of the flow of information from management to the Board that is necessary for the independent directors to perform their duties effectively and responsibly; (v) advising the executive chairman and/or chief executive officer on such other matters deemed appropriate by the lead independent director; and (vi) assuming such other duties as the Board may designate from time to time.

Role of the Board in Risk Oversight

        The Company's management is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks we face, while our Board, as a whole and through committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. Our Board performs this oversight role by using several different levels of review. In connection with its reviews of the operations and corporate functions of our company, our Board addresses the primary risks associated with those operations and corporate functions. In addition, our Board reviews the risks associated with our company's business strategies periodically throughout the year as part of its consideration of undertaking any such business strategies.

        The role of the Board in overseeing the management of our risks is conducted primarily through committees of the Board, as described in the descriptions of each of the committees below and in the charters of each such committee. The full Board (or the appropriate Board committee in the case of risks that are under the purview of a particular committee) discusses with management our major risk exposures, the potential impact on us, and the steps we take to manage them. When a Board committee is responsible for evaluating and overseeing the management of a particular risk or risks, the chairperson of the relevant committee reports on the discussion to the full Board during the committee reports portion of the next Board meeting. This enables the Board and its committees to coordinate the risk oversight role, particularly with respect to risk interrelationships.

Board Committees

        Our Board has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, each of which operates pursuant to a charter adopted by our Board. Each committee reviews and assesses the adequacy of its charter annually and recommends any proposed changes to the Board for approval. The charters for the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are all available on our website at www.replimune.com under "Investors and Media" at "Corporate Governance."

        The composition and responsibilities of each committee are described below. Members serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by our Board. The following table describes which directors serve on each of the Board committees.

Policies Governing Director Nominations

Director Nomination Process

        Our Board is responsible for selecting its own members. The Board delegates the selection and nomination process to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, with the expectation that other members of the Board and of management will be requested to take part in the process as appropriate. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee makes recommendations to the Board regarding the size and composition of the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews annually with the Board the composition of the Board as a whole and recommends, if necessary, measures to be taken so that the Board reflects the appropriate balance of expertise, experience, qualifications, diversity and skills required for the Board as a whole and contains at least the minimum number of independent directors required by applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommends, and the Board nominates, candidates to stand for election as directors.

        Generally, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies candidates for director nominees in consultation with management, through the use of search firms or other advisors, through recommendations submitted by stockholders or through such other methods as the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee deems to be helpful to identify candidates. Once candidates have been identified, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee confirms that the candidates meet all of the minimum qualifications for director nominees established by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may gather information about the candidates through interviews, detailed questionnaires, background checks or any other means that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee deems to be appropriate in the evaluation process. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee then meets as a group to discuss and evaluate the qualifications and skills of each candidate, both on an individual basis and taking into account the overall composition and needs of the Board. Based on the results of the evaluation process, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommends to the Board for approval candidates as director nominees for election to the Board.

        Stockholders may also nominate persons to be elected as directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by our stockholders in accordance with our bylaws. If a stockholder wishes to nominate a person for election as director, such stockholder must follow the procedures contained in our bylaws. In evaluating candidates recommended by our stockholders, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee applies the same criteria set forth below under "Minimum Qualifications." To nominate a person to stand for

14


Table of Contents

election as a director, a stockholder must provide our Secretary with timely notice of the nomination and the notice must include the information required by Section 2.12(b) of our bylaws.

        Additional information regarding requirements for stockholder nominations for next year's annual meeting is described in this Proxy Statement under "General Matters—Stockholder Proposals and Nominations."

Minimum Qualifications

        In considering whether to recommend any particular candidate for inclusion in the slate of recommended director nominees for the Board, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider certain criteria set forth in the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter. These criteria include the Board's size and current composition; corporate governance policies; applicable Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules and regulations; a candidate's individual director performance, expertise, experience, qualifications, attributes, diversity, skills and willingness to serve actively; the number of other public and private boards on which a candidate sits; and the absence of potential conflicts with our interests. The Board does not assign specific weights to particular criteria and no particular criterion is a prerequisite for any prospective nominee.

        In evaluating proposed director candidates, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider, in addition to the minimum qualifications and other criteria for board membership approved by the Board from time to time, all facts and circumstances that it deems appropriate or advisable, including, among other things, diversity, not limited to race, gender or national origin. We have no formal policy regarding board diversity. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee's and our Board's priority in selecting Board members is the identification of persons who will further the interests of our stockholders through their established record of professional accomplishment, the ability to contribute positively to the collaborative culture among our Board members, knowledge of our business, understanding of the competitive landscape, and professional and personal experiences and expertise relevant to our growth strategy. The Nominating and Corporation Governance Committee will consider candidates recommended by stockholders.

Communication with the Board of Directors

        Stockholders wishing to communicate with our Board may do so by writing to the Board or to the non-employee members of the Board as a group, at:

        The communication must prominently display the legend "BOARD COMMUNICATION" in order to indicate to Investor Relations that it is a communication for the Board. Upon receiving such a communication, Investor Relations will promptly forward the communication to the relevant individual or group to which it is addressed. Certain items that are unrelated to the Board's duties and responsibilities may be excluded, such as spam, junk mail and mass mailings, resumes and other forms of job inquiries, surveys and business solicitations or advertisements. Investor Relations will not forward any communication determined in good faith belief to be frivolous, unduly hostile, threatening, illegal or similarly unsuitable.

The amounts reported in this column reflect the full grant date fair value for awards granted during each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2019. The grant date fair value was computed in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. The assumptions we used in valuing options are described in Note 10 to our audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019.

(2)
The amounts reported in this column represent bonuses based upon the achievement of company and individual performance objectives for each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2019. We paid such bonuses in April 2019 and April 2018, respectively.

(3)
Dr. Kaufman was not one of our named executive officers for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.

(4)
Amounts presented for Dr. Love for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2019 are based on an assumed conversion ratio of British pounds to dollars of 1.4015 and 1.302344, which were the exchange rates in effect as of March 31, 2018 and 2019, respectively.

        Our executive compensation philosophy is to generally provide compensation and benefit levels that will attract, retain, motivate and reward a highly talented executive team within the context of responsible cost management; establish a direct link between our individual/team performance and results and our executives' compensation; and align the interests and objectives of our executives with those of our stockholders by linking executive equity awards to stockholder value creation. The compensation philosophy for our executive officers is composed primarily of the following three main components: base salary, annual cash incentives and long-term equity incentives. In 2018, as part of our annual evaluation of executive compensation, we engaged Pearl Meyer, an independent executive compensation consultant, to provide advice and recommendations relating to our executive officer compensation arrangements. Pearl Meyer previously provided us with guidance on executive officer compensation in connection with our initial public offering. Pearl Meyer assisted the Compensation Committee in evaluating the Company's executive officer compensation for alignment with governance and market best practices, and to provide recommendations on the appropriate compensation philosophy to guide the Compensation Committee in determining executive officer compensation.

The base salaries set forth below take into account an increase of each named executive officer's base salary in connection with our initial public offering.

Annual Performance-Based Incentive Opportunity

        In addition to base salaries, our named executive officers are eligible to receive annual performance-based cash incentives, which are designed to motivate our executives to achieve defined annual corporate goals and to reward our executives for their contributions towards the achievement of these goals. The annual performance-based incentive each named executive officer was eligible to receive in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 was generally based on the extent to which the officer achieved the corporate goals and individual objectives that our Board established at the beginning of the fiscal year and then again after our initial public offering. After the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, our Board reviewed performance against each goal and objective and determined the extent to which each goal and objective was achieved.

        In our fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, Dr. Coffin and Mr. Astley-Sparke were eligible to receive a target bonus of up to 50% of their respective base salary, while each of Dr. Love, and Dr. Kaufman was eligible to receive a target bonus of up to 35% of their respective base salary. Our Board reviewed the corporate goals for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 and the individual objectives of each named executive officer and determined that on an overall basis, significant progress had been made towards achieving all of those goals. In recognition of these achievements and the efforts of each executive, the committee awarded each of our named executive officers eligible for performance bonuses 100% of their target bonus opportunity for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, Dr. Coffin, Mr. Astley-Sparke, Dr. Kaufman and Dr. Love were paid bonuses of $238,996, $191,198, $142,100 and $108,725, respectively. The foregoing amount of the bonus paid to Dr. Love is based on an assumed conversion ratio of British pounds to dollars of 1.302344, which was the exchange rate in effect as of March 31, 2019.

Pension Benefits

        Our named executive officers did not participate in, or otherwise receive any benefits under, any pension or retirement plan during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, other than pursuant to the plans described under "401(k) Plan" and "U.K. Pension Contribution Plan."

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

        Our named executive officers did not participate in, or earn any benefits under, a nonqualified defined contribution or other nonqualified deferred compensation plan during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.

401(k) Plan

        We offer a tax-qualified retirement plan that provides eligible U.S. employees with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax advantaged basis. Eligible employees are able to defer eligible compensation up to certain statutory limits, which are updated annually. We provide matching contributions up to 50% of actual dollars contributed, not to exceed a maximum of 8% of gross salary. Employee contributions are allocated to each participant's individual account and are then invested in selected investment alternatives according to the participant's directions. Employees are immediately and fully vested in their own contributions, but any contributions we make vest ratably over the first five years of service. After five years of service, contributions we make vest 100%. The 401(k) plan is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the Code, with the related trust intended to be tax exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code. As a tax-qualified retirement

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

        The report of the Audit Committee is not "soliciting material," is not deemed "filed" with the SEC and is not to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, both as amended.

        The Audit Committee has reviewed Replimune's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019 and has discussed these statements with management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or PwC, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. Replimune management is responsible for the preparation of the Company's financial statements and for maintaining an adequate system of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting for that purpose. The independent registered public accounting firm audits the annual consolidated financial statements prepared by management, expresses an opinion as to whether those consolidated financial statements present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Replimune in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and discusses any issues they believe should be raised with us. The Audit Committee is responsible for providing independent, objective oversight of the Company's accounting functions and internal controls.

        The Audit Committee also received from, and discussed with, PwC the written disclosures and other communications that the Company's independent registered public accounting firm is required to provide to the Audit Committee, including the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 1301, as amended (Communications with Audit Committees), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, in Rule 3200T.

        PwC also provided the Audit Committee with the written disclosures and the letter required by the PCAOB requiring independent registered public accounting firms to annually disclose in writing all relationships that, in their professional opinion, may reasonably be thought to bear on independence, to confirm their perceived independence and to engage in a discussion of independence. The Audit Committee has reviewed this disclosure and has discussed with PwC their independence from Replimune.

        Based on its discussions with management and our independent registered public accounting firm as outlined above, and its review of the representations and information provided by management and our independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Replimune Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Respectfully submitted by the Audit Committee,    

Joseph Slattery, Chair

PROPOSAL NO. 2—AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

        We are asking our stockholders to approve an amendment (the "Amendment") of our certificate of incorporation. The following description is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amendment appended to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A, which we encourage our stockholders to read in its entirety.

        The Amendment would amend and restate Article Eleven of our certificate of incorporation. Currently, Article Eleven, Section 2 provides that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933. On December 19, 2018, the Chancery Court of Delaware ruled that such exclusive federal forum provisions are invalid under Delaware law. Additionally, the Amendment would provide that the Delaware exclusive forum provision set forth therein will not preclude or contract the scope of exclusive federal or concurrent jurisdiction for actions brought under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or otherwise limit the rights of any stockholder to bring any claim under such laws, rules or regulations in any United States federal district court of competent jurisdiction. The Board unanimously approved, and recommends that our stockholders approve, the Amendment to amend and restate Article Eleven.

        The affirmative vote of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding shares of our capital stock present in person or represented by proxy at the 2019 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote is required to approve the Amendment. An abstention is treated as present and entitled to vote and, therefore, has the effect of a vote "against" the Amendment. Broker non-votes will not be treated as votes cast for this purpose and, therefore, will not affect the outcome of the proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE AMENDMENT OF OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION.

PROPOSAL NO. 3—RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

        We are asking our stockholders to ratify the Audit Committee's selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or PwC, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020. PwC has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since 2018.

        The Audit Committee annually reviews the independent registered public accounting firm's independence, including reviewing all relationships between the independent registered public accounting firm and us and any disclosed relationships or services that may impact the objectivity and independence of the independent registered public accounting firm, and the independent registered public accounting firm's performance.

        Although stockholder ratification is not required by our bylaws or otherwise, the Board believes it is advisable to provide stockholders an opportunity to ratify this selection and is submitting the selection of PwC to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the selection is not ratified, the Audit Committee will consider whether it is appropriate to select another independent registered public accounting firm, but is not required to do so. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may select a different registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of Replimune and its stockholders.

        We expect that a representative of PwC will attend the 2019 Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she so chooses and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

        The Audit Committee pre-approves all auditing services, and permitted non-audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) to be performed by PwC, subject to the de minimis exception for non-audit services that are approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of an audit. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more members of the Audit Committee consistent with applicable law, Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules and regulations, provided that the decisions of such Audit Committee member or members must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

Principal Accountant Fees and Services

        We regularly review the services and fees of our independent accountants. These services and fees are also reviewed by the Audit Committee on an annual basis. The approximate aggregate fees billed for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2019 for each of the following categories of services are as follows:

Fee Category
  2018   2019  

Audit Fees

  $ 1,086,500   $ 1,299,000  

Audit Related Fees

         

Tax Fees

    29,400     47,800  

All Other Fees

    5,000      

Total Fees

  $ 1,120,900   $ 1,346,800  

29


Table of Contents

        Audit Fees.    Consist of aggregate fees for professional services provided in connection with the annual audit of our consolidated financial statements, the review of our quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements, services in connection with our initial public offering that was completed in July 2018, consultations on accounting matters directly related to the audit, and comfort letters, consents and assistance with and review of documents filed with the SEC.

        Audit-Related Fees.    Consist of aggregate fees for accounting consultations and other services that were reasonably related to the performance of audits or reviews of our consolidated financial statements and were not reported above under "Audit Fees."

        Tax Fees.    Consist of aggregate fees for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning services including the review and preparation of our federal and state income tax returns.

        All Other Fees.    Consist of aggregate fees billed for products and services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm other than those fees disclosed above.

        The Audit Committee pre-approved all services performed since the pre-approval policy was adopted.

        The affirmative vote of a majority of shares of our common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the 2019 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote is required to ratify the selection of our independent auditors. An abstention is treated as present and entitled to vote and, therefore, has the effect of a vote "against" ratification of the independent auditors. Because the ratification of the independent auditors is a routine matter, a nominee holding shares in street name may vote on this proposal in the absence of instructions from the beneficial owner.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF PWC AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF COMMON STOCK

        The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of June 30, 2019 by:

        Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC and generally means that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power of that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after June 30, 2019. Shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to stock options and warrants are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of the person holding such options or warrants and the percentage of any group of which the person is a member but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown that they beneficially own, subject to community property laws where applicable. The information does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose, including for purposes of Section 13(d) and 13(g) of the Securities Act. As of June 30, 2019, there were 31,666,182 shares of
