  1. F1. On September 23, 2026, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated June 28, 2026, by and among the Issuer, Zymeworks Inc. ("Parent"), and Zymeworks Merger Sub 1, a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, the Issuer became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the "Merger"). At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each ordinary share, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Issuer ("Ordinary Share") held by the reporting person as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and converted into the right to receive (i) $17.00 in cash, without interest (the "Per Share Cash Consideration") and (ii) one contingent value right (a "CVR"). Each CVR represents a non-tradeable contractual contingent right to receive cash payments based on the achievement of certain commercial milestones following the Effective Time.
  2. F2. At the Effective Time, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each award of restricted stock units of the Issuer (a "Company RSU Award") that was outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (i) the Per Share Cash Consideration multiplied by (ii) the number of Ordinary Shares underlying such Company RSU Award (subject to any required tax withholdings as provided in the Merger Agreement) plus (iii) one CVR for each Ordinary Share underlying such Company RSU Award.
  3. F3. As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each award of performance restricted stock units of the Issuer (a "Company PSU Award") that was outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (i) the Per Share Cash Consideration multiplied by (ii) the number of Ordinary Shares with respect to such Company PSU Award that remained outstanding and unreleased as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, plus (iii) one CVR for each Ordinary Share underlying such Company PSU Award.

Per Share Cash Consideration $17.00 per ordinary share Cash consideration, without interest
Contingent value right 1 CVR per ordinary share Contractual right to cash payments based on commercial milestones
Per Share Cash Consideration financial
"the Per Share Cash Consideration"
The amount of cash offered to buy each share of a company in a transaction, such as a takeover or buyout. Think of it as the dollar price a buyer promises to hand over for every share you own; it matters to investors because it determines the immediate cash value they would receive, whether the offer is above or below current market price, and helps compare competing bids or evaluate fairness.
contingent value right financial
"one contingent value right (a "CVR")"
A contingent value right is a special security that gives its holder the right to receive one or more future payments only if specified events happen, such as a product reaching a sales target or getting regulatory approval. It matters to investors because it offers potential extra payout tied to uncertain outcomes—like a bet that a project will succeed—so it can add upside to a deal while also carrying extra risk and valuation uncertainty.
Company RSU Award financial
"a "Company RSU Award""
Company PSU Award financial
"a "Company PSU Award""
Effective Time financial
"At the Effective Time"
The exact clock time when a regulatory filing, approval, or corporate action formally becomes legally active; from that moment the change is binding and can be acted on. Investors care because the effective time marks when ownership, rights, trading rules, or new securities take effect — like a light switch turning on a contract or transaction — which determines when risks, benefits and market reactions begin.
