We urge you to contact your clients as promptly as possible. Please note that the Offer and withdrawal rights will expire at one minute past 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on April 22, 2026 (the “Expiration Time”), unless the expiration of the Offer is extended to a subsequent date in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement (as defined below), in which case the term “Expiration Time” means such subsequent time on such subsequent date.

The Offer is being made pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 6, 2026 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Parent, Purchaser and Servier, pursuant to which, after consummation of the Offer and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, Purchaser will merge with and into the Company pursuant to Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the “DGCL”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).

The Board of Directors of the Company (i) determined that the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”) are fair to, and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, (ii) approved and declared advisable the Merger and the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Merger Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the Transactions, (iii) resolved that the Merger Agreement and the Merger will be governed by and effected under Section 251(h) of the DGCL and that the Merger will be consummated as soon as practicable following the time at which Purchaser first irrevocably accepts for purchase the Shares tendered in the Offer and (iv) subject to the other terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, resolved to recommend that all of the Company’s stockholders accept the Offer and tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer.

For Shares to be properly tendered to the Purchaser pursuant to the Offer, the Depositary must be in timely receipt of (i) the certificates evidencing such Shares or confirmation of a book-entry transfer of such Shares into the Depositary’s account at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase, (ii) the Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, with any required signature guarantees (or, in the case of a book-entry transfer or a tender through DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program, an Agent’s Message (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) in lieu of the Letter of Transmittal) and (iii) any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal or the Depositary, in each case prior to the Expiration Time.

If a stockholder desires to tender Shares pursuant to the Offer and the share certificates evidencing such stockholder’s Shares are not immediately available or such stockholder cannot deliver the share certificates and all other required documents to the Depositary prior to the Expiration Time, or such stockholder cannot complete the procedure for delivery by book-entry transfer on a timely basis, a tender may be effected by following the guaranteed delivery procedures described in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase.
