Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On September 21, 2025, Metsera, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Pfizer Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Mayfair Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions described therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). The Board of Directors of the Company has unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and has recommended that the stockholders of the Company adopt the Merger Agreement.

The consummation of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among other things, (i) adoption by the Company’s stockholders of the Merger Agreement, (ii) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (iii) the absence of injunctions or other legal restraints preventing or prohibiting the consummation of the Merger and (iv) certain other conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Merger is expected to close as early as the fourth quarter of 2025.

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Company Common Stock”), other than Company Common Stock owned by (i) the Company, any subsidiary of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of Parent and (ii) stockholders of the Company who have validly exercised their statutory rights of appraisal under the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the “DGCL”), will be converted into the right to receive (A) $47.50 (the “Closing Amount”) in cash, without interest and subject to any required withholding of taxes, plus (B) one contractual contingent value right per share of Company Common Stock representing the right to receive contingent payments (a “CVR”) in cash, without interest, upon the achievement of certain specified milestones in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of a contingent value rights agreement (the “CVR Agreement”) to be entered into by Parent and a rights agent determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement (the “Rights Agent”) (clauses (A) and (B), collectively, the “Merger Consideration”).

Each Company Stock Option (as defined in the Merger Agreement), whether vested or unvested, outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled at the Effective Time and the holder thereof shall then become entitled to receive solely, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, (A) a cash payment equal to (x) the excess, if any, of (1) the Closing Amount minus (2) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option, multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (B) one CVR for each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that, in the case of a Company Stock Option that is unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and that does not vest by its terms as a result of the occurrence of the Effective Time, the cash payment contemplated by clause (A) and all payments in respect of the CVRs contemplated by clause (B) shall be subject to the same vesting schedule and terms (including double-trigger vesting protection) as were applicable to the corresponding Company Stock Option (except that, subject to the holder’s continued service with Parent or its subsidiaries through the first anniversary of the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement), all such payments shall become vested upon the first anniversary of the Closing to the extent unvested and not previously forfeited); and provided, further, that any Company Stock Option that has an exercise price per share that is greater than or equal to the Closing Amount shall be canceled at the Effective Time for no consideration or payment.

Each Company Restricted Stock Award (as defined in the Merger Agreement) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be fully vested and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Company Common Stock underlying such Company Restricted Stock Award.

The Merger Agreement includes representations and warranties and covenants of the parties customary for a transaction of this nature. Until the earlier of the termination of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time, the Company has agreed to operate its business in the ordinary course and has agreed to certain other operating covenants, as set forth more fully in the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement also contains a customary “no shop” provision that, in general, restricts the Company’s ability to solicit third-party acquisition proposals or provide information to, or engage in discussions or negotiations with, third parties

regarding or that could reasonably be likely to lead to any acquisition proposal. The no shop provision is subject to a customary “fiduciary out” provision that allows the Company, prior to receiving the approval of the Company’s stockholders, under certain circumstances and in compliance with certain obligations, to provide information and participate in discussions and negotiations with respect to unsolicited third-party acquisition proposals that could reasonably be expected to lead to a “Superior Company Proposal” (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and, subject to compliance with certain obligations, to terminate the Merger Agreement and accept a Superior Company Proposal upon payment to Parent of the Company Termination Fee (as defined below).

The Merger Agreement includes customary termination provisions for both the Company and Parent and provides that, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including termination by the Company to accept a Superior Company Proposal, the Company will be required to pay a fee equal to $190 million (the “Company Termination Fee”).

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

The Merger Agreement and the foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement have been included to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only as of specified dates for the purposes of the Merger Agreement, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement and may be subject to qualifications and limitations agreed upon by the parties. In particular, in reviewing the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement and discussed in the foregoing description, it is important to bear in mind that such representations, warranties and covenants were negotiated with the principal purpose of allocating risk between the parties, rather than establishing matters as facts, and may have been qualified by confidential disclosures. Such representations, warranties and covenants may also be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to stockholders and reports and documents filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, investors should not rely on such representations, warranties and covenants as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances described therein. Information concerning the subject matter of such representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the parties’ public disclosures.

Contingent Value Rights Agreement

At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Rights Agent will enter into the CVR Agreement. Parent will issue CVRs entitling the holder to receive Milestone Payments (as defined in the CVR Agreement) contingent upon the achievement of the applicable Milestones (as defined in the CVR Agreement) during each Milestone Period (as defined in the CVR Agreement), to the record holders of (i) the outstanding Company Common Stock other than Company Common Stock canceled or converted pursuant to Section 2.01(b) of the Merger Agreement and Appraisal Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (such Company Common Stock to receive CVRs, the “CVR Shares”), (ii) Company Stock Options which have an exercise price per Share that is less than the Closing Amount (the “Company Options”) and (iii) Company Restricted Stock Awards, in each case that are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Each CVR represents a non-tradable contractual contingent right to receive (A) $5.00 per CVR in cash, without interest and less any applicable tax withholding on a dosing basis of on or around every twenty eight days payable upon the occurrence of the initiation of the first Phase 3 Clinical Trial for the injectable fixed dose combination of MET-233i and MET-097i (the “Combination Product”) for chronic weight management, on or prior to December 31, 2027; (B) $10.50 per CVR in cash without interest and less any applicable tax withholding payable upon for chronic weight management the occurrence of the receipt from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by Parent or any of its subsidiaries of approval of the Combination Product by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, on or prior to December 31, 2031; and (C) $7.00 per CVR in cash, without interest and less any applicable tax withholding payable upon the occurrence of the receipt from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by Parent or any of its subsidiaries in the United States of approval of the injectable MET-097i on a dosing basis of on or around every twenty eight days for chronic weight management by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, on or prior to December 31, 2029.

One CVR shall be issued for each CVR Share, and additional CVRs shall be issued in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Merger Agreement for the Company Common Stock underlying certain Company Options and Company Restricted Stock Awards.

The CVRs are contractual rights only and not transferable except under certain limited circumstances, will not be certificated or evidenced by any instrument and will not be registered with the SEC or listed for trading. The CVRs will not have any voting or dividend rights and will not represent any equity or ownership interest in Parent, the Company or any of their affiliates.

Any potential payout of the CVR is subject to various risks and uncertainties related to the development of MET-233i and MET-097i, U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearances as more fully described in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the SEC.

There can be no assurance that the Milestone will be achieved prior to its expiration or termination of the CVR Agreement, or that payment will be required of Parent with respect to the Milestone.

The foregoing description of the CVR Agreement is qualified in all respects by reference to the full text of the form of the agreement, which is attached as Exhibit B to the Merger Agreement filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto, and incorporated by reference herein.

Voting and Support Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, ARCH Venture Partners, a venture capital firm, and Population Health Partners GP, LLC, a venture capital firm, and certain of their affiliates (collectively, the “Support Stockholders”), solely in their respective capacities as stockholders of the Company, entered into Voting and Support Agreements, dated as of September 21, 2025 (collectively, the “Voting and Support Agreements”), with Parent and the Company, pursuant to which, among other things, the Support Stockholders agreed to vote all shares of Company Common Stock held by the Support Stockholders (and any other shares of the Company’s Common Stock they may hold in the future) in favor of the Merger and the adoption of the Merger Agreement and against any proposal made in opposition to, or in competition with, the consummation of the Merger. The Support Stockholders represent approximately 37.6% of the votes of all issued and outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock entitled to vote on the adoption of the Merger Agreement. The Voting Agreement will terminate upon the earliest of (i) the effective time of the Merger, (ii) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall be validly terminated or (iii) waiver or modification to the Merger Agreement that results in a decrease in the consideration that would be payable to the Support Stockholders.
