per share (“Shares”), of iTeos Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“iTeos”), for: (i) $10.047 per Share in cash (the “Cash Amount”); plus (ii) one non-transferable contractual contingent value right for each Share (each,
a “CVR,” and each CVR together with the Cash Amount, the “Offer Price”), all upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase (together with any subsequent amendments or supplements thereto, the “Offer
to Purchase”) and in the related Letter of Transmittal (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Letter of Transmittal”), copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively. The Offer
is being made pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 18, 2025 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Merger Agreement”), among iTeos, Parent and Concentra Merger Sub VIII, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit (d)(1) hereto and incorporated herein by reference with respect to Items 4 through 11 of this Schedule TO.
Except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, the information set forth in the Schedule TO remains unchanged and is incorporated herein by reference to the extent relevant to the items in this
Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.
The Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
ITEMS 1 THROUGH 9 AND 11
Items 1 through 9 and 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
|
I. |
The third full paragraph of the cover page of the Offer to Purchase and the third full paragraph on Page 1 of the Offer to Purchase in the Section entitled “Summary Term Sheet” are hereby amended and restated
in its entirety to read as follows:
|
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to iTeos’ willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement and the CVR Agreement, Tang Capital Partners, LP, a Delaware limited
partnership (“TCP” or “Guarantor”) and sole member of Parent, delivered to iTeos a duly executed limited guaranty (the “Limited Guaranty”), dated as of the date of the Merger Agreement, in favor of iTeos and the representative of
the holders of the CVRs (the “Representative”) that will to be a party to the CVR Agreement, in respect of the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub with respect to (i) the prompt payment of all amounts payable by Parent and/or Merger Sub under the
Merger Agreement, (ii) the payment of monetary damages in connection with fraud or willful breach by Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (and related enforcement costs), and (iii) the
payment obligations and performance of the covenants of Parent and Merger Sub set forth in the CVR Agreement, including to pay (A) amounts due thereunder and (B) any costs and expenses incurred in connection with enforcing the Merger Agreement by
legal action against Parent or Merger Sub for willful breach to the extent such enforcement actions result in a judgment against Parent or Merger Sub. The Guarantor’s obligations with respect to items (i) and (ii) described above are subject to a cap
of $465,000,000. The Guarantor’s obligations with respect to item (iii)(A) described above are subject to a cap equal to the aggregate CVR Proceeds (as defined below) and the Guarantor’s obligations with respect to item (iii)(B) described above are
subject to a cap equal to the CVR Expense Cap. Tang Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TCM”), is the sole manager of Parent and the general partner of TCP. Accordingly, TCP and TCM are considered co-offerors in the

II. |
The third full bullet point on Page 3 of the Offer to Purchase in the question “What is the CVR and how does it work?” of the Section entitled “Summary Term Sheet” is hereby amended and restated in its entirety
to read as follows:
|
Any Additional Closing Net Cash Proceeds would be calculated and payable based on the realization of any net savings equal to the amount by which the Closing Net Cash as finally determined pursuant to the merger
agreement exceeds $475,000,000, adjusted downward for any claims or downward or upward, as applicable, for any changes in amounts accrued in the Closing Net Cash that, in each case: (i) are not accounted for in such Closing Net Cash; (ii) Parent
reasonably determines to be valid; and (iii) arise prior to the CVR Payment Date with respect to any Additional Closing Net Cash Proceeds, which is no later than thirty (30) days following the Merger Closing Date. We cannot predict whether any net
savings will be realized at all, or to what extent. Net savings would depend upon various unknown factors, including unforeseen claims and costs that iTeos may incur. “Closing Net Cash” as defined in the Merger Agreement and as used herein,
means, without duplication, (i) iTeos’ cash, cash equivalents and investments as of the Cash Determination Time, determined in accordance with GAAP, applied on a basis consistent with iTeos’ application thereof in iTeos’ consolidated financial
statements, minus (ii) Indebtedness of iTeos and its subsidiaries as of the Cash Determination Time, minus (iii) the Transaction Expenses, minus (iv) the Estimated Costs Post-Merger Closing, minus (v) $350,000 for the CVR Expense Cap under the CVR Agreement.
|
III. |
The fifth bullet point beginning on Page 3 of the Offer to Purchase (and continuing onto Page 4) in the question “What is the CVR and how does it work?” of the Section entitled “Summary Term Sheet” is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
|
During the Disposition Period, Parent shall, and shall cause Merger Sub, licensees and rights transferees to use commercially reasonable efforts to spend up to $350,000 (the “CVR Expense Cap”) to: (i) enter into one or
more agreements providing for a sale, transfer, license or other disposition of all or any part of the CVR Products (each a “Disposition Agreement”) as soon as practicable following the Effective Time; (ii) retain an employee or consultant of Parent
or Merger Sub for the purpose of maintaining and preserving the CVR Products (as defined in the CVR Agreement) and seeking, negotiating and executing Disposition Agreements; (iii) maintain the CVRs (including fees and expenses related to the Rights
Agent and the Representative); (iv) maintain and prosecute the intellectual property relating to the CVR Products; and (v) continue the CMC Activities (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of the CVR Products to the extent the costs associated with
such CMC Activities were included in the Closing Net Cash Schedule. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent and Merger Sub are not obligated to pursue new clinical, manufacturing or enabling work with respect to the CVR Products. The Co-Offerors will be
obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the actions set forth in (i)-(iv) listed above, but in no event will be obligated to spend more than the CVR Expense Cap to effect such actions. The Co-Offerors will be obligated use
commercially reasonable efforts to effect the actions set forth in (v) listed above, but in no event will be obligated to spend more than the costs associated with such CMC Activities in the Closing Net Cash Schedule to effect such actions.
