Pacific Process Overview • On April 3, 2023, Pacific announced plans to suspend further development of pomotrelvir, reduce headcount by approximately 85% and explore a range of strategic alternatives. • On April 7, 2023, Foresite Capital (“Foresite”) filed a Schedule 13D/A on April 7, 2023, regarding its purchase of ~1.5 million additional shares of Pacific on April 5, 2023, increasing Foresite’s ownership of Pacific common shares to 27.2%. • On April 20, 2023, Foresite submitted a letter to the Pacific board of directors indicating its intent to explore and evaluate a potential acquisition of all Pacific common shares it did not already own. • The Pacific Board of Directors established a special committee (“Pacific Special Committee”) on May 2, 2023 to oversee its review of strategic alternatives, with board member and founding partner of Foresite, James Tanenbaum, M.D., recused of all discussions related to a potential transaction. • Pacific engaged Leerink Partners in May 2023 to explore a range of strategic alternatives, including an acquisition, merger, business combination, or other transaction. • Leerink Partners, management and the Pacific Special Committee considered an initial list of 133 strategic merger candidates and five parties with potential interest in acquiring Pacific via a cash tender offer (“financial buyers”), including Foresite. This list included inbound interest from strategic merger candidates and financial buyers. • Management and the Pacific Special Committee decided to include nine private companies and three potential financial buyers, including Foresite, in the process. • Of the contacted private companies, 8 requested a process letter and 8 submitted non-binding indications of interest (IOI) by May 23, 2023. One of the private companies submitted an IOI that included a return of up to $100M cash to Pacific shareholders with a concurrent PIPE transaction. • Pacific Special Committee selected three private companies to conduct confidential management presentations between June 1 and June 3, 2023. Following request from Pacific Special Committee to return at least $100M of capital to Pacific shareholders and raise a commensurate PIPE, 2 out of the 3 private companies dropped out of the process. The last private company also dropped out of the process, informing Leerink Partners that it intended to pursue other alternatives.
