(including within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act and Section 27A of the Securities Act) concerning the Company, Avenzo, the proposed Merger and other matters. These forward-looking statements include express or implied
statements relating to the structure, timing and completion of the proposed Merger; the expected distribution and payment of the Cash Distribution and the contingent value rights, including the timing thereof; and other statements that are not

“might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions (including the negatives of
these terms or variations of them) may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and beliefs
concerning future developments and their potential effects. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company, Avenzo or the proposed Merger will be those that have been anticipated.
The forward-looking statements contained in this communication are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their
potential effects and therefore subject to other risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, risks associated with the possible failure to satisfy the conditions to the closing or consummation of the
Merger, including the Company’s failure to obtain the Required Company Stockholder Vote; risks associated with the uncertainty as to the timing of the consummation of the Merger and the ability of each of the Company and Avenzo to consummate
the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance or condition that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement prior to the closing or consummation of the Merger; risks
associated with the possible failure to realize certain anticipated benefits of the Merger, including with respect to future financial and operating results; the effect of the completion of the Merger on the combined company’s business
relationships, operating results and business generally; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company, Avenzo or any of their respective directors or officers related to the Merger Agreement or the transactions
contemplated thereby; changes in the net cash of the Company and the per share amount of the Cash Distribution, each as determined in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, relative to the currently estimated amounts; and those risks and

proposed Merger and the potential benefits thereof, its business and industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by the Company, all of which are subject to change. Such forward-looking statements are made as of the date of
this communication, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update such statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable law.
