Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Certain directors and executive officers of Prothena Corporation plc (the “Company”) hold options to acquire ordinary shares of the Company granted in January, March, and April 2013 under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2012 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2012 LTIP”). These options have been outstanding for approximately nine years and will expire in January, March, and April of 2023, on the tenth anniversary of the respective grant dates pursuant to the terms of the 2012 LTIP (collectively, the “Expiring Options”). The Expiring Options held by these directors and executive officers cover the right to purchase up to 458,174 of the Company’s ordinary shares (representing less than 1.0% of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares) and have exercise prices ranging from $6.41 to $6.73 per share. The directors and executive officers have adopted trading plans pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, relating to the Expiring Options (the “Plans”). Transactions under the Plans will be reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with applicable securities laws, rules, and regulations. The Company does not undertake to report on expiring options, or on Rule 10b5-1 plans that may be adopted by any executive officers or directors in the future, or to report any modifications or termination of any publicly announced trading plan, except to the extent required by law.
