Please furnish copies of the enclosed materials to those of your clients for whom you hold Shares registered in your name or in the name of your nominee.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to Allakos’ willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), Tang Capital Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“TCP” or “Guarantor”) and sole member of Parent, delivered to Allakos a duly executed limited guaranty (the “Limited Guaranty”), dated as of the date of the Merger Agreement, in favor of Allakos, in respect of certain obligations of Parent and Purchaser under the Merger Agreement. Certain obligations under the Limited Guaranty are subject to a cap of $30,600,000, which includes certain enforcement costs, under the Merger Agreement.

Accordingly, TCP and TCM are considered co-offerors in the Offer.
