WHO CAN VOTE
Shareholders of Repligen Corporation's Common Stock as of the close of business on March 16, 2026 (our "Record Date"). It is important that your shares be represented and voted at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting").

NOTICE AND ACCESS
We are mailing a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice") to our shareholders instead of paper copies of our Proxy Statement. The Notice contains instructions on how to access our Proxy Materials over the internet. The Notice also contains instructions on how shareholders can receive a paper copy of our Proxy Materials, free of charge, including this Proxy Statement and proxy card.
Our Annual Report to Shareholders, containing a letter from our President and Chief Executive Officer and financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 Annual Report"), is also being provided together with this Proxy Statement to all stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

Our Annual Meeting will again be held in a virtual meeting format only, via the internet, with no physical in-person meeting. At our virtual Annual Meeting, shareholders will be able to attend, vote and submit questions as set forth in this section.

BOARD COMPOSITION
We continuously evaluate our director skill sets and expertise for alignment with Repligen's strategic goals. Our independent directors bring extensive experience in areas that are critical to the Company's strategy and long-term success, such as biopharmaceutical manufacturing, global and commercial operations, and finance. Below we highlight the key skills and experiences of our director nominees that are critical to Repligen's success.
In addition to breadth of skills and experience, we believe in establishing and maintaining a Board that includes various demographics because having multiple perspectives and experiences improves the quality of dialogue, contributes to more effective decision-making on behalf of the Company and its shareholders, and enhances the overall chemistry and collaborative culture in the boardroom.

SHAREHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
We actively seek and highly value the views and insights of our shareholders. We meet regularly with our shareholders through an ongoing schedule of investor discussions, in-person meetings, conferences, non-deal roadshows and other events. In addition to our traditional investor relations outreach efforts focused on analysts and portfolio manager communications, we engage with shareholder stewardship and proxy governance teams to discuss proxy proposals, overall governance and executive compensation programs, and sustainability reporting and initiatives.
Our shareholder engagement activities have guided certain Board meeting agendas and have led to governance enhancements addressing the issues that matter most to our shareholders. We consider this ongoing engagement process important in creating long-term value, and maintaining a culture of integrity, compliance and sustainability.
Conversations with investors and analysts in 2025 and into 2026 covered a wide range of topics, including the outlook for revenue growth and margin expansion in the near- and long-term. In addition, these discussions centered around our commercial strategy, new product launches, mergers and acquisitions, fit-for-growth investments, the biologics and new modalities end-markets, and the macro backdrop, among other areas.
SUSTAINABILITY - ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE MATTERS
We believe our commitment to sustainability topics across all our global facilities matters and is an important part of creating long-term business value for all stakeholders. We are deeply committed to corporate responsibility and transparency, and we continue to factor sustainability into our business decisions and integrate its core principles into our daily operations. Together, we are advancing our sustainability initiatives and taking steps to engage stakeholders throughout our upstream and downstream value chain.
To view or download our most recent 2024 sustainability report, "Perspectives on Progress" and/or to access our 2024 reporting frameworks indexes document, please visit repligen.com/company/sustainability.
Sustainability Oversight
Our commitment to sustainability oversight at both the Board and management levels reflects the importance we place on our sustainability policies and programs to support our long-term strategic plan. In 2025, the Board transferred oversight of the sustainability function to the Audit Committee to better align strategies and to support increasing sustainability-related regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee meets regularly and reviews and advises on strategy, initiatives and reporting. For more details about our Sustainability Oversight hierarchy, please see the section titled"Sustainability Oversight" on page 21.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION HIGHLIGHTS
Repligen's compensation philosophy is to provide compensation that will attract and retain high-performing talent in our industry, motivate the Company's executive officers to create long-term, enhanced shareholder value and provide a fair reward for robust effort. The Company believes that the compensation of its executive officers should align the executive officers' interests with those of the shareholders and focus executive officer behavior not only on the achievement of near-term corporate goals, but also on the achievement of long-term business objectives and strategies. For more on compensation philosophy see the section titled "Executive Compensation" beginning on page 31.

Long-term Equity Incentive Breakout for NEOs
We believe that the mix of time-based and performance-based equity awards under our long-term incentive compensation program provides balance to the program, motivates our executives to drive organizational achievement of our near- and long-term corporate goals and aligns the interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders.
As shown in the graph below, the target split of the annual long-term equity incentive compensation awards made to our NEOs based upon dollar value is 25% performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs"), 25% stock options subject to time-based vesting, and 50% restricted stock units subject to time-based vesting ("RSUs"). Our Compensation Committee annually reviews our long-term equity incentive program and has determined that the current composition and weightings remain appropriate in furthering our objective of recruiting and retaining top talent in our industry at this time.
The PSU awards granted in 2025 are only earned if we achieve specific three-year revenue growth goals or "Base Organic Revenue Growth" and three-year Adjusted Return on Invested Capital ("Adjusted ROIC"), which are set at challenging levels and weighted at 50% each with cliff vesting after three years based on performance.
Long-term Equity Incentive Payout for NEOs for 2025
In 2023, we granted PSU awards subject to a three-year performance period ending December 31, 2025. As shown in the table below, these PSU awards were not earned due to not achieving the organic revenue growth goal or Adjusted ROIC goal for the PSU awards.

BUSINESS & FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS 2025
In 2025, we delivered on the five strategic priorities we outlined at the beginning of the year:
Accelerated Growth with a Transformed Customer Experience.
We returned to double-digit growth in 2025 with 16% growth on both a reported and organic non-COVID basis. This was driven by broad momentum across our portfolio, expansion of our customer base, and strength across all geographies. Consumables led the way with 20%+ growth, while equipment was roughly flat year-over-year, though we saw strong traction in our Analytics offerings. We continue to capitalize on our broad portfolio and cross-selling opportunities with our key accounts team, which is focused on approximately 20 large pharma and CDMO accounts, with the objective of further penetrating these accounts by increasing both the number of product lines they purchase and their overall volume. We are now selling 2.5 times as many product lines to these customers versus 2019. In addition, our commercial team is incentivized to cross-sell our entire portfolio. We believe we are early in the penetration of these opportunities. In 2025, we made notable progress on our Asia-Pacific (APAC) strategy as we onboarded a new Head of APAC and GM of China. We will continue to invest in our APAC team in 2026 given the growing activity in this region. Finally, our investments in services translated to accretive growth in 2025. We have a high attachment rate for services in our Analytics franchise and are working to replicate this success across the rest of our capital equipment portfolio.
Expanded Margins.
In 2025, we balanced key investments in the business, while expanding adjusted operating margin by 0.9% to 13.8%. We expanded adjusted gross margin by approximately 2.2%, driven by volume and price, which offset inflation, tariff, and mix headwinds. While foreign currency was favorable, this was offset by dilution from M&A, which weighed on operating margin expansion. Net of foreign currency and M&A, we expanded organic adjusted operating margins by 2.4%. We continue to believe our acquisitions of Tantti and our upstream PAT portfolio are key to our long-term strategy. In 2025, we made important investments in our commercial team,

2026 PROXY STATEMENT SUMMARY |
Table of Contents
legal transformation, finance and IT leadership, along with AI and infrastructure investments. These are critical to ensure we have a scalable foundation to support the growth we see in coming years. We expect to generate increasing operating leverage in coming years to drive margin expansion.
Launched New Products.
We had an active year of new product launches in 2025 across our franchises. In Analytics, we launched our SoloVPE PLUS, the next generation of our SoloVPE with increased accuracy and faster read-out times. We believe this upgrade cycle represents a multi-year growth opportunity for us. In filtration, we launched our new Proconnex® MixOne single-use mixer. We began demos in 2025 and expect to deliver our first placements in 2026. In proteins, we launched a variety of new resins including three new resins in December 2025: AVIPure® HiPerAAV9, AVIPure® HiPerAAV8, and HiPerQA. We are also seeing continuing traction with custom resins developed by Avitide and Tantti.
Acquired Upstream PAT Portfolio and Integrated Tantti.
In 2025, we executed on our M&A roadmap. In March, we announced the acquisition of 908 Devices' desktop portfolio of four devices for upstream bioprocessing process analytical technology (PAT) applications. These devices include the recently rebranded PATsmart MAVERICK® and MAVEN® for real-time monitoring and control of critical bioprocess parameters; REBEL, an at-line cell culture media analyzer; and ZipChip®, a high-resolution sample separations device used in the characterization of product quality attributes. In 2025, we made progress on the integration of our upstream portfolio, transitioning manufacturing capabilities to Marlborough, while cross-training our upstream and downstream Analytics teams. This has resulted in a growing funnel of opportunities. In 2025, we also made progress on our integration of Tantti. In July, we announced a strategic partnership with Novasign to develop and integrate Novasign's machine learning and modeling workflow into Repligen filtration systems. As part of the partnership, we made an investment in Novasign to help scale and expand their operations. This furthers our digitization efforts and highlights using minority investments as another capital allocation option. Outside of organic investments in the business, M&A remains our top priority for capital allocation.
Became More Fit for Growth.
In 2025, we made considerable progress on our efforts to become more "fit for growth" and to ensure we have the right foundation in place as we look to scale the business in coming years. We made key leadership hires across legal, finance, and IT. In addition, we made significant investments in our business systems to ensure we are building the right tools and processes to scale the business. This included initial AI investments across our legal and supply chain functions. Looking ahead, we will continue to further build our bench and make targeted system investments in IT modernization, financial planning, and lifecycle product management. In addition, we will invest in strategic transformation initiatives, including projects that can help drive margin expansion.
Sustainability
At Repligen, our sustainability strategy is closely linked to how we build a resilient, high-performance, and low-risk business. In 2025, we continued to advance these efforts. A defining milestone in 2025 was the completion of Repligen Corporation's first enterprise-level Double Materiality Assessment, aligned with emerging European Sustainability Reporting Standards. This work focused on the sustainability topics most relevant to value creation, risk management, and regulatory readiness, and reinforced the importance of integrating sustainability considerations into business planning, decision-making, and investments.

The Board believes that the new structure will continue to enhance the accountability of the executive leadership team to the Board and strengthen the Board's independence from management. The Board recognizes that, depending on the circumstances, other leadership models might be appropriate and, accordingly, the Board periodically reviews its leadership structure.
Executive Sessions
The Board holds executive sessions of the independent directors at each regularly scheduled Board meeting and/or as deemed necessary by the Chair of the Board. Executive sessions do not include any employee directors of the Company, and the Chair of the Board is responsible for chairing the executive sessions.
Director Nomination Policies
Director Qualifications
The N&CG Committee is responsible for selecting and recommending nominees for election as directors to the Board. The full Board participates in an annual Board effectiveness assessment, which includes evaluating the appropriate qualities, skills and characteristics of current Board members and identifying skills and qualifications desired for director nominees. These assessments include consideration of the following minimum qualifications that the N&CG Committee believes must be met by all directors:
The N&CG Committee also considers numerous other qualifications, skills and characteristics when evaluating director nominees, such as:
These factors and others are considered useful by the Board and are reviewed in the context of an assessment of the perceived needs of the Board at a particular point in time.
The N&CG Committee considers candidates for Board membership, including those suggested by shareholders, applying the same criteria for all candidates. If the N&CG Committee identifies a need to replace a current member of the Board, to fill a vacancy on the Board, or to expand the size of the Board, it considers candidates from a variety of sources including third-party search firms that

assist in identifying, evaluating and conducting due diligence on potential director candidates. For all potential candidates, our N&CG Committee will consider all factors it deems relevant, including those enumerated above.
Board Composition
The N&CG Committee is committed to having an inclusive Board and considers a variety of candidate attributes, including whether a candidate, if elected, assists in achieving a mix of directors who represent varied backgrounds and experience. A Board that includes varying perspectives, personal and professional background, knowledge and experience, is important because we believe having varying perspectives and a breadth of experience improves the quality of deliberations, contributes to more effective decision-making on behalf of the Company and its shareholders and enhances the overall chemistry and collaborative culture in the boardroom. Accordingly, the N&CG Committee is committed to actively seeking out Board candidates who are highly qualified women, minorities, and individuals with other varying backgrounds, skills and experience.
Process for Identifying and Evaluating Director Nominees
The Board is responsible for selecting and nominating nominees for election as directors, but delegates the selection and nomination process to the N&CG committee, with the expectation that other members of the Board or members of management will take part in the process as appropriate.
Generally, the N&CG Committee identifies candidates for director nominees in consultation with Board members and management, through the use of search firms or other advisers, through the recommendations submitted by shareholders or through such other methods as the N&CG Committee deems to be helpful in identifying candidates. Consistent with historical practices and our ongoing efforts in inclusivity, we target a wide range of candidates. Once candidates have been identified, the N&CG Committee confirms that the candidates meet all of the minimum qualifications for director nominees established by the N&CG Committee. The N&CG Committee may gather information about the candidates through interviews, questionnaires, background checks, or any other means that the N&CG Committee deems to be helpful in the evaluation process. The N&CG Committee meets as a group to discuss and evaluate the qualities 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 N&CG Committee recommends candidates to be interviewed by other Board directors and ultimately recommends final candidates for the Board's approval as director nominees for election to the Board. The N&CG Committee also recommends candidates for the Board's appointment to the committees of the Board.
Procedures for Recommendation of Nominees by Shareholders
The N&CG Committee will consider director candidates who are recommended by the shareholders of the Company. Shareholders who meet the applicable eligibility requirements under the proxy access provision of our By-laws and who wish to include nominees for our Board in the Company's Proxy Statement for the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, or shareholders who wish to make a proposal at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (other than a proposal made pursuant to Rule 14a-8 issued under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") or pursuant to the proxy access provision of our By-laws), must in each case deliver any such recommendation not later than the close of business on the 60th day, nor earlier than the close of business on the 90th day, prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

The Board'sRole in Risk Oversight
The Company's management is responsible for assessing and managing risk and the Board oversees and reviews the Company's risk management process. This oversight by the Board is primarily accomplished through its committees and through management's reporting processes, including having the Board receive regular reports from members of senior management on areas of material risk to the Company, including operational, financial, legal and regulatory, strategic, and governance risks. In addition, at the beginning of each Board meeting, the CEO provides a status update on the Company and addresses any areas of risk in an executive session. A full risk management assessment is performed and presented to the Board periodically.
The committees of the Board execute their oversight responsibility for risk management as follows:
We will continue to uphold our strong corporate governance, shareholder rights and executive compensation programs. Our Board also oversees our executive and Board succession planning strategies.
SUSTAINABILITY - ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE MATTERS
We believe our commitment to sustainability topics across all our global facilities matters and is an important part of creating long-term business value for all stakeholders. We are deeply committed to corporate responsibility and transparency, and we continue to factor sustainability into our business decisions and integrate its core principles into our daily operations.
The actions we have taken to build and implement our robust sustainability strategy are supported by core pillars focused on Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") issues, and demonstrates our long-term commitment to being a responsible global

corporate citizen. Together, we are advancing our ESG initiatives and taking steps to engage stakeholders throughout our upstream and downstream value chain.
We are also taking bold steps to engage key stakeholders throughout our upstream and downstream value chain to educate and inspire them to advance related initiatives for even greater impact and transparency.

Oversight
Our commitment to sustainability oversight at both the Board and management levels reflects the importance we place on ESG-driven policies and programs to support our long-term strategic plan. Below is our sustainability governance hierarchy:
Sustainability
At Repligen, sustainability is closely linked to how we build a resilient, high-performance, and low-risk business. In 2025, the company continued to advance this pragmatic approach-strengthening governance, improving transparency, and investing in the systems and capabilities required to support long-term growth. These efforts also reflect a deliberate focus on preparing for evolving mandatory reporting and compliance requirements, positioning Repligen to meet future obligations with confidence. Progress was made across environmental, social, and governance priorities most material to the business and to stakeholders, while maintaining consistency with the voluntary reporting practices and frameworks Repligen has adopted over recent years.
A defining milestone in 2025 was the completion of Repligen Corporation's first enterprise-level Double Materiality Assessment, aligned with emerging European Sustainability Reporting Standards. This work sharpened focus on the sustainability topics most relevant to value creation, risk management, and regulatory readiness, and reinforced the importance of integrating sustainability considerations into business planning, decision-making and investments. In parallel, oversight of sustainability reporting and related controls was transitioned to the Audit Committee, reflecting the increasing convergence of financial and sustainability disclosures and reinforcing rigor, accountability, and alignment with enterprise risk management. These governance enhancements were further supported by the introduction of dedicated corporate policies on Human Rights and Sustainability, formalizing long-standing commitments to ethical conduct, environmental stewardship, and responsible business practices.
As the company looks ahead, Repligen remains committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and to advancing sustainability as a driver of business resilience, innovation, and long-term value creation. By embedding sustainability into decision-making, governance, and daily operations, Repligen is better positioned to meet evolving customer expectations, navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape, and deliver durable results for stakeholders.
Sustainability Reporting
Our sustainability reporting objective is to provide transparency on how we are advancing our evolving sustainability strategy and how we are contributing to sustainable development. With that objective, we continue to deliver high-quality and comprehensive environmental, social, and governance reporting on topics that we believe are relevant to our customers, shareholders, employees, and community members. Our sustainability report also includes disclosures aligned with the Global Reporting Initiative ("GRI") Universal Standard 2021 and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board ("SASB") standards, the GHG Protocol and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures ("TCFD"). As the reporting framework landscape continues to change, such as the merger of SASB standards into the International Sustainability Standards Board ("ISSB"), the disbanding of TCFD and the release of new European Sustainability Reporting Standards ("ESRS") standards, we will continue to evolve our reporting practices.

The Audit Committee of the Board has implemented procedures under the Company's Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services (the "Pre-Approval Policy"), to ensure that all audit and permitted non-audit services provided to the Company are approved by the Audit Committee. Specifically, the Audit Committee pre-approves the use of EY for specific audit and non-audit services, within approved monetary limits. If a proposed service has not been pre-approved pursuant to the Pre-Approval Policy, then it must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee before EY may provide the services. Any pre-approved services exceeding the limits pre-approved by the Audit Committee must again be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. All of the audit-related and tax and other services provided by EY to the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee. All non-audit services provided in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 were reviewed with the Audit Committee, which concluded that the provisions of such services by EY was compatible with the maintenance of that firm's independence in the conduct of its auditing functions.
In connection with the audit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, there were no disagreements with EY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of EY, would have caused them to refer to such disagreement in connection with their report.
A member of EY is expected to be present at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders with the opportunity to make a statement if so desired and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
Accordingly, the Board believes ratification of the appointment of EY as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the current year is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and recommends a vote FOR the ratification of EY as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.
This report is furnished by the Company's Audit Committee with respect to the Company's financial statements for fiscal year 2025. The Company's management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of complete and accurate financial statements. The independent registered public accounting firm EY is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company's financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and for issuing a report on its audit. The Audit Committee oversees and monitors the Company's management and its independent registered public accounting firm throughout the financial reporting process.
The material in this report is not "soliciting material," is not deemed filed with the SEC, and is not to be incorporated by reference in any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any such filing.
The Audit Committee currently consists of Mr. Muir, Chairperson, Mses. Dawes and Eglinton Manner. The Audit Committee has the responsibility and authority described in the Repligen Audit Committee Charter, which has been approved by the Board. The Board has determined that the members of the Audit Committee meet the independence requirements set forth in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act and the applicable rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., and that Mr. Muir qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" under the rules of the SEC.

In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management of the Company and EY the audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 ("Form 10-K"), including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. The Audit Committee also reviewed the Company's quarterly financial statements for the first three fiscal quarters during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and discussed them with both the management of the Company and EY prior to including such interim financial statements in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. In connection with the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and the Form 10-Q for each of its first, second and third fiscal quarters of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Audit Committee discussed the results of the Company's certification process relating to the statements in the Company's Form 10-Qs, as well as financial statements under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Audit Committee also discussed with EY the matters required to be discussed by the PCAOB's Auditing Standard No. 1301, Communication with Audit Committees, and the SEC. In addition, the Audit Committee has received from EY the written disclosures and the letter from EY as required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding EY's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with EY their independence.
The Audit Committee also reviewed management's report on its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting and EY's report on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
The Audit Committee discussed with EY the overall scope and plans for their audit. The Audit Committee met with EY to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Company's internal controls, including internal control over financial reporting, and the overall quality of the Company's financial reporting.
The Audit Committee has also evaluated the performance of EY, including, among other things, the amount of fees paid to EY for audit and non-audit services. Based on its evaluation, the Audit Committee has selected EY to serve as the Company's auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. The shareholders of the Company are being asked to ratify the selection of EY as the Company's independent public accounting firm in Proposal 2 of this Proxy Statement.
The Audit Committee met five (5) times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the Company's audited financial statements and management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting be included in Form 10-K, and the Board approved such inclusion.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 enables our shareholders to vote to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers ("NEOs") as disclosed in this Proxy Statement in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC's") rules.
As described in the section titled "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" which begins on page 28and in the accompanying tables and narrative disclosure, our executive compensation programs are designed to motivate our executive officers to create long-term, enhanced shareholder value and provide a fair reward for robust effort. The Company seeks to provide near-term and long-term financial incentives that align the executive officers' interests with those of the shareholders and focus executive officer behavior on the achievement of near-term corporate goals, as well as long-term business objectives and strategies. We believe that this alignment between executive compensation and shareholder interests has driven corporate performance over time.
Our shareholders voted on May 18, 2023, to have advisory votes every year to approve the compensation paid to the Company's NEOs, and we have adopted that approach. The Board of Directors ("Board") and Compensation Committee make executive compensation decisions every year, and our directors look to the annual advisory vote for information to be taken into account when they make decisions with respect to our compensation philosophy, policies and practices.

Accordingly, we are asking our shareholders to vote FOR the following non-binding, advisory resolution on the approval of the compensation of the Company's NEOs as disclosed in this Proxy Statement:
"RESOLVED, that the shareholders of the Company approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company's NEOs, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion."
We urge you to read the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis"section of this Proxy Statement and the accompanying tables and narrative disclosure for additional details on the Company's executive compensation, including our governance, framework, components, and the compensation decisions for the NEOs for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
As an advisory vote, the results of this vote will not be binding on the Board or the Company. However, the Board and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of our shareholders and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future decisions on the compensation of our NEOs and the Company's executive compensation principles, policies and procedures.
The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company's NEOs, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, including the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis", compensation tables and narrative discussion.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
The Compensation Committee of the Board, which is comprised solely of independent directors as defined under the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and non-employee directors as defined under Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is responsible for developing executive compensation policies, advising the Board with respect to such policies, and administering the Company's cash and equity incentive plans. The Compensation Committee sets performance goals and objectives for the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and the other executive officers, evaluates their performance with respect to those goals and sets their compensation based upon the evaluation of their performance. In evaluating executive officer pay, the Compensation Committee may retain the services of a compensation consultant and consider recommendations from the CEO with respect to goals and compensation of the other executive officers. The Compensation Committee assesses the information it receives in accordance with its business judgment. The Compensation Committee also periodically reviews non-employee director compensation. All decisions with respect to executive compensation are approved by the Compensation Committee and all decisions with respect to director compensation are recommended by the Compensation Committee to the full Board for approval.
The Compensation Committee of the Company has reviewed and discussed the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis"required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC with management and, based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis"be included in this Proxy Statement.

COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY
In accordance with the Company's compensation philosophy, the Company provides compensation that the Compensation Committee believes will attract and retain high-performing talent in our industry, motivate the Company's executive officers to create long-term, enhanced shareholder value and provide a fair reward for robust effort.
It is the responsibility of the Compensation Committee of the Board to administer the Company's compensation programs to ensure that they are competitive with other bioprocessing, life sciences research tools, and health care supply industries, and to include incentives that are designed to appropriately drive the Company's continued development to create shareholder value. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves all components of the Company's named executive officer compensation, including base salaries, annual cash incentive compensation, and equity incentive compensation.
COMPENSATION OBJECTIVES
The Company believes that the compensation of its executive officers should align the executive officers' interests with those of the shareholders and focus executive officer behavior not only on the achievement of near-term corporate goals, but also on the achievement of long-term business objectives and strategies.
To achieve these objectives, the Company's compensation program for its executive officers:

COMPENSATION EVALUATION PROCESS
The Company's executive officer compensation consists of three primary components: base salary, annual cash incentive compensation and equity incentive compensation. Each of these components is intended to complement the others, and taken together, to satisfy the Company's compensation objectives. The Compensation Committee considers a number of factors in setting compensation for its executive officers, including Company performance, the executive's functional performance, experience and responsibilities, and the compensation of executive officers in similar positions in our peer group of companies.
Our Board and executive team actively seek and highly value the views and insights of our shareholders. In evaluating our executive compensation programs for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Compensation Committee considered the shareholder advisory vote on our executive compensation, or the "say-on-pay" vote, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which was approved by approximately 93% of the votes cast. The Compensation Committee believes that the shareholders, through this advisory vote, endorsed the compensation philosophies of the Company and, thus, the Compensation Committee maintained the basic structure and design of our executive compensation programs for fiscal year 2025. The Compensation Committee intends to continue to focus on aligning executive compensation programs with the interests of our shareholders and current market practice, including a continued emphasis on pay for performance. We currently hold a "say-on-pay" vote on an annual basis, and our Board intends to continue to do so until at least our next shareholder advisory vote on the frequency of say-on-pay votes to approve our executive compensation, which will occur at our 2029 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Role of Compensation Consultant
In establishing compensation levels for each executive officer, the Compensation Committee has the authority to engage the services of outside experts. In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Compensation Committee retained Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC ("Meridian"), an independent compensation consulting firm, to assist the Compensation Committee in assessing the competitiveness and effectiveness of the Company's executive compensation programs. In addition, our finance and human resources departments support the Compensation Committee in its work and act in accordance with the direction given to them to administer our compensation programs.
The Compensation Committee has assessed any potential conflicts of interest raised by the work of Meridian pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules, and has determined that no such conflicts of interest exist.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and in March 2026, the Compensation Committee held meetings with management and representatives of Meridian to:
Use of Peer Group to Benchmark Compensation
Meridian provided the Compensation Committee with an analysis of base salary, target bonus, target total cash, long-term incentive value and design, and target total compensation for executives, as well as an analysis of cash and equity compensation for non-employee directors based on data derived from a 16-company compensation peer group. The 2025 peer group was composed of comparable companies in the bioprocessing, life sciences research tools and health care supplies industries with median revenues of $1.1 billion, as compared to the Company's 2025 revenue of $738 million. Based on this selection criteria, the Compensation Committee approved the following peer group for 2025 compensation decisions:
|
Azenta, Inc. |
Insulet Corporation |
Neogen Corporation |
||
|
Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. |
Maravai LifeSciences Holdings, Inc. |
NeoGenomics, Inc |
||
|
Bio-Techne Corporation |
Medpace Holdings, Inc. |
NovaCure Limited, Inc. |
||
|
Bruker Corporation |
Mesa Laboratories, Inc. |
Quanterix Corporation |
||
|
Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc |
Natera, Inc. |
10x Genomics, Inc. |
||
|
Waters Corporation |
Each year, Meridian, in conjunction with our Compensation Committee, re-evaluates our peer group in light of developments in the market and our industry and the evolution of the Company (e.g., revenue and market capitalization). As a result of this review, the 2025 peer group differs from the 2024 peer group in the following respects: one company was removed from the peer group (Avid Bioservices, Inc.) compared to the prior year. This change was made to improve the alignment of revenue size of the peer group to that of the Company while maintaining companies of similar business focus.
The Compensation Committee uses the peer group compensation data as one of several factors in determining appropriate compensation parameters for base salary, variable cash compensation and equity-based, long-term incentives.
While the Compensation Committee generally targets each NEO's total compensation to be within a competitive range of the 50th to 75th percentile of the peer group, it considers a number of additional factors to determine the appropriate level of each NEO's total compensation and each component of compensation, including Company performance and the relevant executive's

performance, experience, responsibilities and impact. Due to these other factors, the Compensation Committee may set an NEO's compensation below, at, or above the 50th percentile of the peer group.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Base Salary
Base salary represents the fixed portion of an executive officer's compensation and is intended to provide compensation for day-to-day performance. The Compensation Committee believes that a competitive base salary is a necessary element of any compensation program that is designed to attract and retain talented and experienced executives. Each executive officer's base salary is initially determined upon hire or promotion based on arms-length negotiations, the executive officer's responsibilities, prior experience, individual compensation history and salary levels of other executives within the Company and similarly situated executives within our peer group. Base salary is typically reviewed annually and may be adjusted based on the executive officer's responsibilities, prior experience, individual compensation history and salary levels of other executives within the Company and similarly situated executives within our peer group. The Compensation Committee believes that the base salaries paid to our executive officers during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 achieved the Company's compensation objectives.
Base salaries for the NEOs for 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

Annual Cash Incentive Compensation (Short-Term Incentive) Plan
In 2025, NEOs were eligible to earn cash incentive bonuses under the Company's Annual Cash Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), to incentivize and reward NEOs for achieving certain performance goals that drive Company performance, align pay and performance, and support the long-term growth of the Company.
The Company's NEOs, other than the CEO, were eligible to receive annual cash incentive compensation based on achievement of (i) Company-wide performance goals (the "Company Objectives") and (ii) performance objectives tied to individual results for their respective functional areas (the "Individual Performance Objectives"). As the Company's current CEO, Mr. Loeillot is responsible for developing Company strategy and overseeing all of the Company's corporate functions, product development and commercial activities. Because of these responsibilities, Mr. Loeillot's incentive payouts are calculated based solely on Company Objectives to closely align his compensation with the Company's performance.
At the beginning of 2025, the Compensation Committee established each NEO's target annual cash incentive compensation (the "Target Award") at a level that represents a meaningful portion of each NEO's cash compensation. In addition, the Compensation Committee set threshold, target and maximum performance goals and related payout levels taking into account annual cash incentive compensation levels for comparable positions within our peer group and our own historical practices. An NEO could earn between 0% and 200% of the NEO's Target Award for achievement of Corporate Objectives, dependent upon the level of achieved performance. After the end of fiscal year 2025, the Compensation Committee evaluated achievement of the Company Objectives and each NEO's Individual Performance Objectives, for those with individual performance objectives, and determined each NEO's annual cash incentive compensation based on such achievement.

Annual Cash Incentive Compensation (Short-Term Incentive) Plan Protocol
The Compensation Committee administers the Plan:
Selection of 2025 Performance Measures and Goals
Generally, the Company must attain a minimum level of achievement of its Company Objectives for any payment to be made pursuant to the Plan, and the Compensation Committee may, at its discretion, elect to adjust bonuses upward or downward, or not to pay bonuses at all. The Target Award and the weight assigned to Company Objectives and Individual Performance Objectives were determined for each executive officer based upon arms-length negotiations for newly hired executives and the executive officer's position and competitive market data derived from our peer group. The final incentive payout is determined for each executive officer based on the achievement of Company Objectives and Individual Performance Objectives (other than for the CEO, whose annual cash incentive is determined based solely on Company Objectives) defined for each organizational level and position and the Target Award.
Our Company is focused on driving above-industry level growth through internal innovation, acquisitions and expansion of applications for our bioprocessing solutions. With our focus on growth, we believe that adjusted revenue and adjusted earnings per share ("EPS") were relevant targets to reflect topline success, balanced with our ability to leverage investments in research and development ("R&D"), people and capacity. We assigned equal weighting to each of these Company Objectives. We believe our executive team can directly impact these Company Objectives, which drive shareholder value. The Company Objectives are designed to be challenging, yet reasonably achievable at target. Threshold and maximum levels are designed based on past performance and current annual planned scenarios to ensure alignment and maximized performance and motivation by employees and executive team.

2026 PROXY STATEMENT SUMMARY |
Table of Contents
The calculations for adjusted revenue and adjusted EPS, on which achievement of Company Objectives is determined, differ from calculations for reported revenue and reported EPS, both determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States or "U.S. GAAP", set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Form 10-K"), for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026. Additionally, the calculation for adjusted EPS, on which achievement of Company Objectives is determined also differs from our calculation of Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP), set forth in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2026.
Specifically, the revenue calculation for purposes of achievement of Company Objectives is adjusted to reflect the impact of (i) any acquisitions completed in the year and (ii) changes in foreign exchange rates. Similarly, the EPS calculation for purposes of achievement of Company Objectives is adjusted to reflect the impact of (i) any acquisitions completed in the year, (ii) changes in foreign exchange rates and (iii) investment income. The Compensation Committee has determined that these adjustments better reflect the Company's underlying business performance and the efforts of management. The impact of acquisitions are outside of the Company's ordinary business and management has no control over exchange rate fluctuations or investment income impact to the financial statements. The Compensation Committee believes these adjustments are in the best interest of shareholders, as these adjustments help to normalize achievement metrics for extraordinary factors and factors outside of management's control, which may have a favorable or unfavorable impact on Company Objectives.
For the 2025 Plan, the Company set for each NEO the following Target Award and weighting for Company Objectives and Individual Performance Objectives:

Achievement of Individual Performance Objectives
In addition to the Company Objectives, NEOs, with the exception of Mr. Loeillot, have a component of their annual cash incentive compensation determined based upon achievement of Individual Performance Objectives. Our CEO evaluates the actual performance of the other executive officers against these objectives and submits such evaluations to the Compensation Committee. The ultimate determination of achievement of the Individual Performance Objectives is at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee. The performance assessment for the Individual Performance Objectives is not calculated on a line-item basis, but rather

EQUITY INCENTIVE COMPENSATION
The Compensation Committee believes that equity incentives in the form of stock options, restricted stock units subject to time-based vesting ("RSUs") and performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs") are effective vehicles for long-term compensation. Equity incentives align individual and team performance with the achievement of the Company's strategic and financial goals, long-term value creation, and shareholders' interests. PSUs reward executive officers only if the Company meets certain specified financial and/or operational metrics. Stock options reward executive officers only if the stock price increases from the date of grant

over time. RSUs are impacted by all stock price changes, so the value to the executive officers is affected by both increases and decreases in stock price from the market price at the date of grant.
For 2025, the Compensation Committee considered a number of factors in determining how much, if any, equity incentive compensation to grant to the executive officers, including:
Based on its evaluation of the foregoing factors, the Compensation Committee determined that each continuing NEO's annual 2025 target LTI value would be allocated among three equity vehicles as shown in the graph below:

2026 PROXY STATEMENT SUMMARY |
Table of Contents
The 2025 Equity Grants consist of the following:
Repligen isa high-growth, acquisitive, innovation-driven company, the Compensation Committee believes that revenue growth and Adjusted ROIC are metrics that reflect business performance and that create shareholder value. Linear interpolation is applied to determine the percentage of PSUs that vest and are earned where performance falls between the threshold, target, and maximum goals. For any portion of the PSUs to be earned and to vest, threshold performance must be achieved with respect to the relevant performance measure. 50% of the target award is earned for threshold performance and 200% of the target award is earned for maximum performance.
The PSUs that vest at the conclusion of the performance period are settled in a like number of shares of our Common Stock.
Looking Ahead to 2026
The Compensation Committee has made several decisions relating to the long-term equity incentive beginning with awards granted in fiscal 2026 fiscal, including:
The PSUs granted to Mr. Douglass on December 31, 2025 are subject to the performance conditions described above. With respect to the portion of the PSUs based on the rTSR component, we have selected a the Life Science Tools & Services companies in the Russell 1000 Index as the TSR peer group, and performance will be measured over a three-year performance period from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2028. These PSUs will vest based on achievement of rTSR at the 25th, 50th and 75th percentile rankings of the peer group, representing threshold, target and maximum achievement, respectively. If achievement is below the 25th percentile, no payout is awarded. 50% of the target award is earned for threshold performance and 200% of the target award is earned for maximum performance. Straight-line interpolation will be applied if performance is between the threshold and target, and target and maximum goals.
Long-term Equity Incentive Payout for NEOs for 2025
In 2023, the Compensation Committee granted PSU awards to Messrs. Bylund and Kuriyel, subject to a three-year performance period ending December 31, 2025. At the time of this long-term equity incentive award, Messrs. Loeillot, Garland and Douglass were

not employed by the Company. At the end of the three-year performance period, these PSU award metrics were not attained and thus the 2023 PSUs were forfeited in their entirety. For more information on these PSUs see the section titled "Proxy Statement Summary - Long-term Equity Incentive payout for NEOs for 2025" on page 6.
POLICIES AND PRACTICES RELATED TO THE GRANTS OF CERTAIN EQUITY AWARDS
It is the policy of the Board and the Compensation Committee to not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing of equity awards in order to take advantage of a depressed stock price or an anticipated increase in stock price. Similarly, it is our practice not to time the release of material nonpublic information based on equity award grant dates or for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. There were no equity awards granted to the Company's NEOs in 2025 during the period from four business days before to one business day after the filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, or the filing or furnishing of any Current Reports on Form 8-K that disclosed material nonpublic information.
CLAWBACK POLICY
In October 2023, the Compensation Committee adopted the Repligen Corporation Compensation Recovery Policy (the "Clawback Policy") which provides that if the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the Company's material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirement we are required to recoup (subject to certain limited exceptions described in the Clawback Policy) any cash or equity incentive compensation received by any current or former executive officer in the three years prior to the date we are required to restate our financial statements that is in excess of the amount that would have been received based on the restated financial statements. In addition, under the Clawback Policy, in the event that we are required to restate our financial statements due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under securities laws, we may recover (i) any cash or equity incentive compensation received by any other current or former employee of the Company in the three years prior to the date we are required to restate our financial statements that is in excess of the amount that would have been received based on the restated financial statements if we determine that the employee committed certain acts or omissions that materially contributed to the circumstances requiring the restatement and (ii) up to 100% of the cash and equity incentive compensation received by any current or former employee of the Company in the three years prior to the date we are required to restate our financial statements if we determine that the employee committed certain acts or omissions that materially contributed to the circumstances requiring the restatement. A copy of the Clawback Policy is included as Exhibit 97.1 to our Form 10-K.
OTHER COMPENSATION
All full-time employees, including the executive officers, are eligible to participate in the Company's health and welfare benefit programs, including medical, dental and vision care coverage, disability and life insurance and the Company's 401(k) plan. Under the 401(k) plan, the Company matches 50% of the first 6% of eligible compensation contributed by employees.
TAX AND ACCOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
We have not provided or agreed to provide any of the Company's executive officers or directors with a gross-up or other reimbursement for tax amounts they might pay pursuant to Section 4999 or Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code provide that executive officers and directors who hold significant shareholder interests and certain other service providers could be subject to significant additional taxes if they receive payments or benefits in connection with a change in control of the Company that exceed certain limits, and that we or our successor could lose a deduction on the amounts subject to the additional tax. Section 409A also imposes additional significant taxes on the individual in the event that an employee, director or service provider receives "deferred compensation" that is not exempt from or does not meet the requirements of Section 409A.
For the Company's financial statements, cash compensation, such as salary and bonus, is expensed. For income tax returns, cash compensation is generally deductible except as set forth below. For equity-based compensation, we expense the fair value of such grants over the requisite service period.
Generally, Section 162(m) of the Code disallows a federal income tax deduction for public corporations of remuneration in excess of $1 million paid for any fiscal year to a "covered employee" of the Company.
The Compensation Committee believes that shareholder interests are best served if the Compensation Committee retains maximum flexibility to design executive compensation programs that meet stated business objectives. For these reasons, the Compensation Committee, while considering tax deductibility as a factor in determining executive compensation, may not limit such compensation to those levels that will be deductible, particularly in light of the expansion of the covered employee group and the elimination of the exception for performance-based compensation under Section 162(m).

2026 PROXY STATEMENT SUMMARY |

COMPENSATION RISK ASSESSMENT
The Compensation Committee not only considers and evaluates risks related to the Company's cash and equity-based compensation programs and practices, but also evaluates whether the Company's compensation plans encourage participants to take excessive risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Consistent with SEC disclosure requirements, the Compensation Committee has worked with management to assess compensation policies and practices for Company employees and has concluded that such policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Employment Arrangements
Employment Agreement with Olivier Loeillot
On June 12, 2024, in connection with Mr. Loeillot's appointment as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Loeillot and Repligen entered into an employment agreement (the "Loeillot Employment Agreement"), which supersedes and replaces Mr. Loeillot's prior employment agreement with Repligen as of September 1, 2024 (the "Transition Date"). The Loeillot Employment Agreement provides for certain severance benefits, beginning on the Transition Date, if certain conditions are met (including Mr. Loeillot's executing a release in favor of Repligen), including:
Amended and Restated Severance and Change in Control Plan
NEO Termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason
On May 26, 2022, the Company adopted the Severance Plan, pursuant to which the NEOs, other than Mr. Loeillot, may be eligible for certain severance payments and benefits. Pursuant to the terms of the Severance Plan, in the event that Mr. Garland's, Mr. Bylund's, Mr. Kuriyel's or Mr. Douglass's employment is terminated by the Company without cause or one resigns for good reason, each as defined in the Severance Plan, subject to the execution and effectiveness of a separation agreement containing, among other things, a general release of claims in favor of the Company, the NEO will be entitled to receive (i) continued payment of base salary at the rate then in effect for 12 months following termination (provided, however, such amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the dollar value of the portion of the monthly premiums paid by active employees for coverage under the Company's group health care programs multiplied by 12), (ii) except as otherwise provided in the applicable equity award agreement, accelerated vesting of (A) 50% of the NEO's unvested stock options subject to time-based vesting, and (B) a pro-rata portion of the NEO's unvested stock-based awards subject solely to time-based vesting, (iii) a pro-rata portion of unvested stock

options and other stock-based awards that are subject to performance-based vesting and for which achievement of the performance metrics has not been determined as of the date of termination shall remain eligible to vest at the end of the performance period based on actual performance through the end of the performance period, and (iv) if the NEO is enrolled in the Company's group health care programs immediately prior to the date of termination and properly elects to receive COBRA benefits, payment of the COBRA premiums by the Company for up to 12 months following termination. Pro-ration for purposes of items (ii)(B) and (iii) of the preceding sentence shall be determined based on the number of full months elapsed in the vesting period or performance period, as applicable, through the date of termination relative to the total number of full months in the vesting period or performance period, as applicable.
NEO Termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason Following Change in Control
If Mr. Garland's, Mr. Bylund's, Mr. Kuriyel's or Mr. Douglass's employment is terminated by the Company without cause or if one resigns for good reason, in either case within two years following a change in control, as defined in the Severance Plan, subject to the execution and effectiveness of a separation agreement containing, among other things, a general release of claims in favor of the Company, that NEO will be entitled to receive (i) a lump sum payment equal to one-and-a-half times the sum of the NEO's base salary at the rate then in effect (or the rate in effect immediately prior to the change in control, if higher) and the NEO's target annual performance bonus for the year the termination occurs, (ii) a pro-rata portion of the NEO's target bonus for the year in which the date of termination occurs, (iii) except as otherwise provided in the applicable equity award agreement, in the event that stock options and other stock-based awards are assumed, continued or substituted in the change in control, accelerated vesting of (A) 100% of the NEO's unvested stock options and other unvested stock-based awards subject to time-based vesting, (B) all performance-based awards held by the NEO with performance metrics deemed to be met at the greater of target levels or the actual level of performance on the date of termination and (iv) if the NEO is enrolled in the Company's group health care programs immediately prior to the date of termination and properly elects to receive COBRA benefits, payment of the COBRA premiums by the Company for up to 18 months following termination. Pro-ration for purposes of item (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be determined based on the number of full months elapsed in the year through the date of termination relative to the total number of full months in the year.
Change in Control
In the event that any then-outstanding stock options and stock-based awards are not assumed, continued or substituted in a change in control, then Mr. Garland, Mr. Bylund, Mr. Kuriyel and Mr. Douglass will be entitled to receive accelerated vesting of (i) 100% of his unvested stock options and other stock-based awards subject solely to time-based vesting and (ii) all of his stock options and other stock-based awards that are subject to performance-based vesting, with performance metrics deemed to be met at the greater of the target level or the actual level of performance on such date of the change in control.
Repligen Corporation Retirement Policy for Equity Awards
In October 2023, the Compensation Committee approved the Repligen Corporation Retirement Policy for Equity Awards (the "Retirement Policy"). Under the Retirement Policy, eligible participants, including NEOs, who are either (i) 55 years of age and in their tenth year or more of service with the Company on the retirement date; or (ii) at least 60 years of age and have been employed by the Company for at least five full years on the retirement date will remain eligible to vest in a pro-rata portion of all PSUs held by the eligible participant as of the date of retirement at the end of the performance period based on actual performance through the end of the performance period subject, in the Company's sole discretion, to the eligible participant's execution and effectiveness of a separation agreement containing, among other things, a general release of claims in favor of the Company. Pro-ration for purposes of the Retirement Policy shall be determined based on the number of full months elapsed in the applicable performance period through the retirement date relative to the total number of full months in the applicable performance period. The Company may amend or terminate the Retirement Policy at any time.
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
The 2012 Plan and the 2018 Plan (collectively referred to as "the Plans"), provide that upon the effectiveness of a sale event, as defined in the Plans, except as otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee in the applicable award agreement, all outstanding awards will automatically terminate, unless the parties to the sale event agree that such awards will be assumed or continued by the successor entity.
Assuming the NEO's employment was terminated by the Company without cause or the NEO resigned for good reason (other than within 24 months following a change in control) and such event took place on December 31, 2025, each of the NEOs would have been entitled to the payments and benefits shown in the table below.

CEO Pay Ratio
Pursuant to a mandate of the Dodd-Frank Act, the SEC adopted a rule requiring that we annually disclose the ratio of our median employee's total annual compensation to the total annual compensation of our CEO as of December 31, 2025, Olivier Loeillot, who is also our principal executive officer (the "CEO Pay Ratio").
We identified the median employee using the methodology from the Summary Compensation Table, which consists of base salary or wages annualized for all permanent employees, grant date fair value for stock options and stock awards granted in the current year and cash bonus incentives earned in 2025 based on annualized target achievement for all permanent employees. Base salaries or wages for non-US employees were converted to the US dollar equivalent using the average rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 and no cost of living adjustments were made. All individuals who were employed by the Company on December 31, 2025, the last day of the Company's fiscal year, were included in the median calculation (including all employees, whether employed on a full-time, part-time, seasonal or temporary basis).
The annual total compensation of the employee identified as the median was $74,954. The annual total compensation of our CEO was $6,114,771 as detailed in the Summary Compensation Table on page 38. The ratio of annual total compensation of our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was estimated to be approximately 82:1. Our ratio may fluctuate year over year based on changes in workforce composition and compensation arrangements.
The pay ratio reported above is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules, based on the Company's internal records and the methodology described above. The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. Accordingly, the pay ratio reported by other peer companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may use different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.
Pay Versus Performance
As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC, the Company is providing information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid ("CAP") to our Principal Executive Officers and the other NEOs (as calculated in accordance with 402(v) of Regulation S-K) and certain financial performance measures.

Description of Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid and Selected Performance Metrics
As described above in the section titled "Compensation and Discussion Analysis - Compensation Objectives"on page 28, the Company's compensation program is designed to attract and retain high-performing talent in the bioprocessing industry, motivate the Company's executive officers to create long-term, enhanced shareholder value and provide a fair reward for robust effort. The Company uses several performance measures to align executive compensation with Company performance, not all of which are presented in the Pay Versus Performance Table above. Moreover, the Company calculates compensation to the PEO and non-PEO NEOs on a basis different than the amount reported in the Summary Compensation Table and compensation actually paid, as calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, is not considered by the Board and the Compensation Committee in evaluating or determining executive compensation. In addition for the years presented in the tables above, the Board and the Compensation Committee did not use TSR or net income as performance measures when making pay compensation decisions. In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the Company is providing the following descriptions of the relationships between compensation actually paid and the financial performance metrics presented in the Pay Versus Performance Table.

Compensation Actually Paid and Company TSR
The graph below describes the relationship between compensation actually paid to the PEOs and the average compensation actually paid to the Company's other NEOs to the Company's TSR over the five-year period from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2025, assuming an initial investment of $100 on December 31, 2020. As the graph shows, this relationship is generally aligned in large part because a significant portion of the compensation actually paid to the Company's NEOs is in the form of equity awards, the value of which is impacted by the stock price changes.

Compensation Actually Paid and Adjusted Revenue
The graph below shows the relationship between compensation actually paid to our PEOs and the average compensation actually paid to the Company's other NEOs to the Company's adjusted revenue for the five years presented in the Pay Versus Performance Table. As described above, adjusted revenue is defined as the Company's total consolidated revenue as reported under GAAP, adjusted to reflect the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency. While the Company uses numerous financial and non-financial performance measures in its compensation programs, the Company has determined that adjusted revenue is the most important performance measure used to link compensation actually paid to the Company's NEOs for fiscal year 2025 to Company performance. The Company uses adjusted revenue (along with adjusted EPS, both of which are weighted equally) as one of the Corporate Objectives in the Company's short-term incentive compensation program.

Under the Company's Amended and Restated Non-Employee Directors' Compensation Policy, as amended in February 2024, each newly elected, non-employee director who joins the Board receives an option to purchase shares of Common Stock with an aggregate value equal to the aggregate value of the stock option and RSU comprising the then-current annual award granted to the existing Board members. These initial option grants vest in equal annual installments over a three-year period from the date of grant, provided such person is still a director on such vesting date. Also, on the effective date of a new director's initial appointment or election to the Board, such new director shall receive an additional award of (i) a stock option to purchase shares of our Common Stock and (ii) an RSU award, each of which shall have a value equal to the value of the stock option and RSU award, respectively, comprising the then-current annual award, pro-rated based on the number of months from such effective date until the Company's next Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
In addition, at each Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company, each non-employee director re-elected to the Board by the shareholders is awarded annual equity compensation. In 2025, all non-employee directors, other than the former Executive Chair, Mr. Hunt, were entitled to annual equity compensation with a grant date fair value of $240,000. The annual equity compensation award is 50% in the form of RSUs, and 50% in the form of stock options. Annual equity awards vest in full on the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of the grant or the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders, provided such person is still a director on such vesting date. In the event of a sale event (as defined in the 2018 Plan), all equity retainer awards granted to such non-employee directors shall become 100% vested and exercisable or nonforfeitable immediately prior to such sale event.
Our Board may, as needed or advisable from time to time, form temporary, ad hoc or other standing committees and delegate the authority to oversee, identify, evaluate or negotiate a specific issue, opportunity and function, and to, as appropriate, make recommendations to the full Board, which committee members may receive reasonable and market compensation. For example, our Board has established a Transaction Committee to oversee, advise on and assist our management and the full Board in considering or pursuing acquisitions, partnering and other business development opportunities, and has awarded cash compensation consistent with those paid to the members of the N&GC Committee.

2026 PROXY STATEMENT SUMMARY |
Table of Contents
This Proxy Statement is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors ("Board") of Repligen, for use at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting"), to be held on Thursday, May 14, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. ET, at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/RGEN2026, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. The Annual Meeting will be held virtually.
Repligen's Annual Report to Shareholders, containing a letter from our Chief Executive Officer and financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 Annual Report"), is being provided together with this Proxy Statement to all shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. It is anticipated that the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and the accompanying proxy card will be first sent or given to shareholders on or about April 2, 2026.
|
Record Date: |
March 16, 2026 (the "Record Date"). Only shareholders of record as of the Record Date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. |
|
|
Quorum: |
The representation, in person or by proxy, of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Repligen Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Shares present virtually during the Annual Meeting will be considered shares of Common Stock represented in person at the meeting. |
|
|
Voting Securities/Common Stock Outstanding: |
As of the Record Date, the Company had 56,399,274 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each outstanding share of Common Stock entitles the record holder to one vote. |
|
|
Voting Methods: |
Shareholders may vote online during the Annual Meeting or in advance of the Annual Meeting by proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the accompanying proxy card or by voting by telephone or via the Internet in accordance with the instructions listed on the proxy card. Execution of a proxy card, or voting by telephone or via the Internet prior to the Annual Meeting, will not in any way limit a shareholder's right to attend the Annual Meeting and vote during the meeting. If you complete and submit your proxy voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will follow your instructions. Any shareholder submitting a proxy has the right to abstain from voting for any individual nominee to the Board by writing that nominee's number on the space provided on the proxy card, checking the box next to the name of such individual nominee if voting by proxy via the Internet or, if using the telephone to vote by proxy, by following the verbal instructions for entering the two-digit number appearing on the proxy card immediately before the name of such individual nominee. Where a choice has been specified on the proxy with respect to a matter, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted in accordance with such specifications. If a validly executed proxy card is returned without indicating how the shares should be voted on a matter, such proxies will be voted FOR election of the director nominees; FOR ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accountants; and FOR the approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers ("NEOs"). Other than (i) the election of directors, (ii) the ratification of Ernst & Young LLP ("EY"), and (iii) the advisory vote to approve the compensation of our NEOs, the Board knows of no other matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting. If any other matter should be properly presented at the Annual Meeting upon which a vote may be taken, shares represented by all proxies received by the Board will be voted with respect thereto in accordance with the judgment of the persons named as attorneys-in-fact in the proxies. |
|
|
Revoking Your Proxy: |
Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting. Proxies may be revoked by: (1) giving written notice of revocation to the Corporate Secretary of Repligen at any time before the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting; (2) duly executing a later-dated proxy card relating to the same shares and delivering it to the Corporate Secretary of Repligen or by telephone or the Internet, in accordance with the instructions listed on the proxy card; or (3) attending and voting at the Annual Meeting (although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute a |

|
revocation of a proxy). For those shareholders who submit a proxy by telephone or the Internet, the date on which the proxy is submitted in accordance with the instructions listed on the proxy card is deemed to be the date of the proxy. Any written notice of revocation or subsequent proxy should be sent so as to be delivered to the mailing address of our principal executive offices at Repligen Corporation, Attention: Corporate Secretary, 41 Seyon Street, Building #1, Suite 100, Waltham, Massachusetts 02453, at or before the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting. |

|
Effect of Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes: |
Shares represented by proxies that contain one or more abstentions or broker "non-votes," are counted as present or represented for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the Annual Meeting. A broker "non-vote" occurs when a broker or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner votes on one proposal, but does not vote on another proposal because, with respect to such other proposal, the broker does not have discretionary voting power and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Broker "non-votes" are not considered voted for the particular matter. If a shareholder holds shares in "street-name" through a broker or other nominee, absent voting instructions from the shareholder, such shares will not be counted as voting and will have no effect on those proposals, other than Proposal 2, requiring approval by a majority of the votes cast. Proposal 2 to ratify the appointment of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm is a "routine" matter for which a broker does not need voting instruction in order to vote a shareholder's shares. |
|
|
Votes Required for Adoption of Proposals: |
Election of Directors. In accordance with our By-laws, directors are elected by a majority of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting (meaning the number of shares voted "for" a nominee must exceed the number of shares voted against such nominee). Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast with respect to the election of directors, and, therefore, will not have an effect on the election of director nominees. Ratification of Independent Accountants. For the ratification of the appointment of EY as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, an affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on such matter is required for approval (meaning that, of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote, a majority of those shares must be voted "for" the proposal for it to be approved). Abstentions shall be included in determining the number of shares present and entitled to vote on the proposal, thus having the effect of a vote against the proposal. Broker "non-votes", if any, are not counted in determining the number of shares present and entitled to vote and will therefore have no effect on the outcome. Advisory Vote to Approve the Compensation of our NEOs. For the advisory vote to approve the compensation of our NEOs, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present, in person or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote on that matter is required for approval. Abstentions shall be included in determining the number of shares present and entitled to vote on the proposal, thus having the effect of a vote against the proposal. Broker "non-votes", if any, are not counted in determining the number of shares present and entitled to vote and will therefore have no effect on the outcome. Other Matters. The Board knows of no other matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting. If any other matter should be properly presented at the Annual Meeting upon which a vote may be taken, the persons named on the enclosed proxy card will have discretionary authority to vote the shares represented by such proxies in accordance with their best judgment. |
|
|
Cost of Proxy Solicitation: |
The cost of solicitation will be borne by Repligen and, in addition to directly soliciting shareholders by mail, Repligen may request banks and brokers to solicit their customers who have stock of Repligen registered in the name of the nominee and, if so, will reimburse such banks and brokers for their reasonable out-of-pocket costs. Solicitation by officers and employees of Repligen may also be made of some shareholders in person or by mail or telephone following the original solicitation. |
Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting to be Held on May 14, 2026: The Company's 2025 Annual Report and this Proxy Statement will be available at www.proxyvote.com.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
SUBMITTING SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
Repligen must receive any proposal by a shareholder of Repligen, who meets the proxy access eligibility requirements under our By-laws, for inclusion in the Proxy Statement furnished to all shareholders entitled to vote at our 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders ("2027 Annual Meeting") at our principal executive office not later than December 3, 2026 in accordance with Rule 14a-8 issued under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
If a shareholder wishes to propose a nomination of persons for election to our Board of Directors ("Board") or present a proposal at an annual meeting but does not wish to have the proposal considered for inclusion in our Proxy Statement and proxy card, our amended and restated By-laws establish an advance notice procedure for such nominations and proposals. Shareholders at an annual meeting may only consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board or by a shareholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has delivered timely notice in proper form to our Corporate Secretary of the shareholder's intention to bring such business before the meeting.
The required notice must be in writing and received by our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices not earlier than 90 days nor later than 60 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's Annual Meeting of Shareholders. However, in the event that the date of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 60 days, from the first anniversary of the preceding year's Annual Meeting of Shareholders, a shareholder's notice must be so received no later than the close of business of the 90th day prior to such Annual Meeting of Shareholders or of the tenth day following the day on which notice of the date of such Annual Meeting of Shareholders was first made, whichever occurs later. For shareholder proposals to be brought before the 2027 Annual Meeting, the required notice must be received by our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices no earlier than February 13, 2027 and no later than March 15, 2027. Shareholder proposals and the required notice should be delivered to Repligen Corporation, Attention: Corporate Secretary, 41 Seyon Street, Building #1, Suite 100, Waltham, Massachusetts 02453.
Subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC's") proxy rules, if a shareholder who wishes to present a proposal at the 2027 Annual Meeting (which is not otherwise submitted for inclusion in the Proxy Statement in accordance with the preceding paragraph) fails to notify the Company by March 15, 2027 and such proposal is brought before the 2027 Annual Meeting, then under the SEC's proxy rules, if the Proxy Statement or form of proxy for the 2027 Annual Meeting so provides, the proxies solicited by Repligen with respect to the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders ("Annual Meeting") will confer discretionary voting authority with respect to the shareholder's proposal on the persons selected by Repligen to vote the proxies solicited by Repligen. If the Company receives a timely notification from a shareholder, the proxies may still exercise discretionary voting authority under circumstances consistent with the SEC's proxy rules.
Any proposal intended to be presented at the 2027 Annual Meeting must also comply with the other requirements of the proxy solicitation rules of the SEC. In order to curtail any controversy as to the date on which a proposal was received by Repligen, it is suggested that proponents submit their proposal by Certified Mail with a Return Receipt requested or other means, including electronic means that permit them to prove date of delivery.
OTHER BUSINESS
Management does not know of any other matters to be brought before the Annual Meeting except those set forth in the notice thereof. If other business is properly presented for consideration at the 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.
VOTING PROXIES
The Board recommends an affirmative vote on all proposals specified. Proxies will be voted as specified. If authorized proxies are submitted without specifying an affirmative or negative vote on any proposal, the shares represented by such proxies will be voted in favor of the Board's recommendations.

HOUSEHOLDING
In order to reduce printing and postage costs, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., ("Broadridge") and in accordance with SEC rules that permit "householding" of proxy materials, the Company has undertaken an effort to deliver only one Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice") to multiple shareholders sharing an address. This delivery method, called "householding," is not being used if Broadridge has received contrary instructions from one or more of the shareholders sharing an address. If your household has received only one Notice, Repligen Corporation will deliver promptly a separate copy of the Notice to any shareholder who sends a written request to Repligen Corporation, Attention: Corporate Secretary, 41 Seyon Street, Building #1, Suite 100, Waltham, MA 02453. If your household is receiving multiple copies of Repligen's Notice and you wish to request delivery of only a single copy, you may send a written request to Repligen Corporation, Attention: Corporate Secretary, 41 Seyon Street, Building #1, Suite 100, Waltham, MA 02453.
