WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) has determined that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger (the “Contemplated Transactions”), are advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders;

WHEREAS, the Company, Parent and Purchaser desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with this Agreement; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE OFFER

1.1 The Offer.

(a) Terms and Conditions of the Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and provided that this Agreement shall not have been validly terminated pursuant to Article VIII, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof (but in no event more than fifteen (15) Business Days thereafter), Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) the Offer. In the Offer, each Share accepted by Purchaser in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer shall be exchanged for (x) the Per Share Price and (y) one contingent value right per Share (a “CVR”) representing the right to receive, subject to the terms and conditions of the CVR Agreement, the consideration set forth in the CVR Agreement (the CVRs together with the aggregate Per Share Price paid in accordance with this Section 1.1(a), the “Offer Consideration”), subject to the other provisions of this Article I. The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that is disseminated to holders of the Shares pursuant to the Exchange Act and contains, to the extent required by the Exchange Act, the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including Schedule I). Each of Parent and Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to consummate the Offer, subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including Schedule I). The obligation of Purchaser to accept for purchase (and the obligation of Parent to cause Purchaser to accept for purchase) Shares validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer shall be subject only to:

(i) the condition that, prior to the expiration of the Offer, there have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Offer a number of Shares that, upon the consummation of the Offer, together with the Shares then owned directly or indirectly by Parent, Purchaser or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of Parent (excluding Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been “received,” as such term is defined in Section 251(h) of the DGCL, by the depositary for the Offer pursuant to such procedures), would represent at least a majority of the aggregate number of shares of the Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Offer (the “Minimum Condition”); and

(ii) the other conditions set forth in Schedule I.

(b) Purchaser expressly reserves the right, at any time, to (i) increase the Offer Consideration to be paid in the Offer, (ii) waive or modify any of the conditions to the Offer and (iii) to make any change in the terms of, or conditions to, the Offer; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, without the prior written consent of the Company, Purchaser may not (and Parent shall not permit Purchaser to) (i) waive the Minimum Condition, or any of the conditions

2

set forth in Section (a), (b), or (c)(v) of Schedule I or (ii) make any change in the terms of or conditions to the Offer that (A) changes the form of consideration to be paid in the Offer, (B) reduces the Offer Consideration to be paid in the Offer (by proposing to change the Per Share Price, CVR or otherwise) or decreases the number of Shares sought in the Offer (other than in each case an adjustment made pursuant to Section 1.1(c)), (C) extends the Offer, other than in a manner required or permitted by Section 1.1(d), (D) imposes conditions to the Offer, other than those set forth in Schedule I, (E) amends, modifies or waives the Minimum Condition, (F) amends or modifies any term of or condition to the Offer (including the conditions in Schedule I) in any manner that has an adverse effect, or would be reasonably likely to have an adverse effect, on the holders of the Shares or (G) extends or otherwise changes any time period for the performance obligations of Purchaser or Parent in a manner other than pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement.

(c) Adjustments to Offer Consideration. In the event that during the Pre-Closing Period the Company changes the number of Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for any such Shares which are issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, reorganization, subdivision, or other similar transaction (any of the foregoing transactions, a “Share Adjustment”), the Offer Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to eliminate the effects of such event on the Merger Consideration; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 1.1(c) shall be construed to permit the Company or any other Person to take any action except to the extent consistent with, and not otherwise limited or prohibited by, the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(d) Expiration and Extension of the Offer.

(i) Unless the Offer is extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 1.1(d), the Offer shall expire at midnight, Eastern Time, on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days (for this purpose calculated in accordance with Section 14d-1(g)(3) and Rule 14e-1(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act) after the date the Offer is first commenced (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) (as such date and time may be extended, the “Expiration Time”). In the event that the Offer is extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, then the Offer shall expire on the date and at the time to which the Offer has been so extended.

(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.1(d)(i) or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement (unless Parent receives the prior written consent of the Company (which may be granted or withheld in the Company’s sole discretion)):

(A) Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) extend the Offer for any period required by any Law, or any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or its staff or of Nasdaq, in any such case, which is applicable to the Offer, or to the extent necessary to resolve any comments of the SEC or its staff applicable to the Offer or the Offer Documents;

(B) in the event that any of the conditions to the Offer (other than the Minimum Condition, and other than any conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Expiration Time (provided such conditions would be capable of being satisfied or validly waived were the Expiration Time to occur at such time)) have not been satisfied or waived (if permitted hereunder) as of any then-scheduled expiration of the Offer, Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) extend the Offer for successive extension periods of up to ten (10) Business Days each (or for such longer period as may be agreed by Parent and the Company), it being understood and agreed that Purchaser shall not be required to extend the Offer pursuant to this clause (B) beyond the Termination Date; and

3

(C) if as of any then-scheduled expiration of the Offer each condition to the Offer (other than the Minimum Condition, and other than any conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Expiration Time (provided such conditions would be capable of being satisfied or validly waived were the Expiration Time to occur at such time)) has been satisfied or waived (if permitted hereunder) and the Minimum Condition has not been satisfied, Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause Purchaser to, extend the Offer for successive extension periods of up to ten (10) Business Days each (with the length of each such period being determined in good faith by Parent) (or for such longer period as may be agreed by Parent and the Company in writing), it being understood and agreed that Purchaser shall not be required to extend the Offer pursuant to this clause (C) beyond the Termination Date;

provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (1) any extension of the Offer pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A), (B) or (C) of this Section 1.1(d)(ii) shall not be deemed to impair, limit, or otherwise restrict in any manner the right of Parent or the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms of Section 8.1 and (2) Purchaser shall not be required (and Parent shall not be required to cause Purchaser) to extend the Offer beyond the Termination Date.

(iii) Neither Parent nor Purchaser shall extend the Offer or provide a “subsequent offering period” within the meaning of Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act in any manner other than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company.

(iv) Neither Parent nor Purchaser shall terminate or withdraw the Offer prior to the then-scheduled expiration of the Offer unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Article VIII, in which case Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer promptly (but in no event more than one (1) Business Day) after such termination of this Agreement.

(v) Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of the Offer, including with respect to the number of Shares that have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Offer, and with respect to any material developments with respect thereto and, upon the Company’s written request (no more often than once per day during the Offer (other than on the date of the then-scheduled expiration of the Offer)), provide the Company as soon as practicable with the most recent report then available from the Exchange Agent detailing the number of Shares that have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

(e) Payment for Shares. On the terms of and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Offer, Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) accept for payment, and pay for, all Shares that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer promptly (within the meaning of Section 14e-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act) after the Expiration Time (as it may be extended in accordance with Section 1.1(d)(ii)) (or, at Parent’s election, concurrently with the Expiration Time if all conditions to the Offer have been satisfied or waived) (such time of acceptance, the “Acceptance Time”); provided, that Purchaser shall not accept for payment or pay for any Shares if, as a result, Purchaser would acquire less than the number of Shares necessary to satisfy the Minimum Condition. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Purchaser on a timely basis the funds necessary to pay for any Shares that Purchaser becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer, and Purchaser shall provide or cause to be provided, to the Exchange Agent promptly

4

following the Acceptance Time (and in any event prior to the Closing Date), the funds necessary to pay for any Shares that Purchaser becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer. Purchaser shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act)) after the Acceptance Time instruct Exchange Agent to pay for all Shares validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in the Offer. The Company shall instruct its transfer agent to register the transfer of the Shares accepted for payment by Purchaser in the Offer effective immediately after the Acceptance Time. The consideration in the Offer payable in respect of each Share validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be paid net to the holder thereof in cash, without interest and subject to reduction for any applicable withholding Taxes payable in respect thereof.

(a) At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any capital stock of the Company, Parent or Purchaser:

(i) Merger Consideration. Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares held in treasury or held by Parent, Purchaser or any of their Subsidiaries, if any (each such Share, an “Excluded Share” and, collectively, “Excluded Shares”) and Dissenting Shares) shall be automatically converted into the right to receive (A) the Per Share Price and (B) one CVR representing the right to receive, subject to the terms and conditions of the CVR Agreement, the consideration set forth in the CVR Agreement (the CVRs together with the aggregate Per Share Price paid in accordance with this Section 3.1, the “Merger Consideration”).

(ii) At the Effective Time, all of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares) shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and (A) each certificate (a “Certificate”) formerly representing any of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) and (B) each book-entry account formerly representing any uncertificated Shares (“Uncertificated Shares”) (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest, in each case to be issued or paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 3.2, in the case of certificated Shares, and upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of an “agent’s message” in customary form in accordance with Section 3.2(g) in the case of Uncertificated Shares.

3.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent and Exchange Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, the Parties shall designate American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (“AST”) or if AST is unwilling or unable serve then such other mutually agreeable bank or trust company as the depository and exchange agent in connection with the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”). The Exchange Agent shall also act as the agent for the Company’s stockholders for the purpose of receiving and holding their Certificates and Uncertificated Shares and shall obtain no rights or interests in the shares represented thereby. At or prior to the Acceptance Time, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Exchange Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount of cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Per Share Price to which such holders of Shares become entitled pursuant to Section 1.1(e) and Section 3.1(a)(i) (such cash, the “Exchange Fund”) for payment to the holders of Shares pursuant to Section 1.1(e) and Section 3.1(a)(i).

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter), the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of Shares represented by a Certificate (other than holders of Excluded Shares) or Uncertificated Shares (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 3.2(e)) or Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent, such letter of transmittal to be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree, and (ii) instructions for surrendering the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 3.2(e)) or Uncertificated Shares (including instructions for sending an “agent’s message” in customary form (or such other evidence, if any, as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request)) to the Exchange Agent. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 3.2(e)) to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal or with respect to Uncertificated Shares receipt of an “agent’s message” in customary form (or such other evidence, if any, as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash and CVRs pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(i), less any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 3.2(f). The Certificate or Uncertificated Share so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until due surrender of the Certificates or Uncertificated Share, each Certificate and Uncertificated Share shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive cash and CVRs pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(i). In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the applicable portion of Merger Consideration to be exchanged upon due surrender of the Certificate or Uncertificated Share pursuant to Section 3.1(a) may be issued and paid to such transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such Shares is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer Taxes required by reason of the transfer or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such Taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

(c) Transfers. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments of the Exchange Fund) that remains unclaimed by the holders of Shares for one hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Time shall be delivered, at Parent’s option, to Parent. Any holder of Shares (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) who has not theretofore complied with Section 3.2(b) shall thereafter look only to Parent for delivery of any cash and CVRs (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 3.2(f)) upon due surrender of its Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 3.2(g)) or Uncertificated Shares,

10

without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Company, Parent, Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the cash and CVRs issuable or payable pursuant to this Article III (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 3.2(f)) had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered.

(f) Withholding Rights. Each of the Parent, the Purchaser, the Company, the Surviving Company and the Exchange Agent (each, a “Withholding Agent”) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, including any consideration payable pursuant to the Merger and any payments under the CVR Agreement, to any holder of Shares, Company Options, or any other recipient of payments hereunder any amounts it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely remitted by the Withholding Agent to the applicable Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder or other recipient in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(g) Uncertificated Shares. Any holder of Uncertificated Shares shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article III in respect of such Uncertificated Shares. In lieu thereof, each registered holder of one or more Uncertificated Shares whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, shall, upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of an “agent’s message” in customary form (or such other evidence, if any, as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request), be entitled to receive, and the Surviving Company shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration for each Uncertificated Share, and the Uncertificated Shares of such holder shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable to a holder of Uncertificated Shares.

3.3 Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. In the event that during the Pre-Closing Period the Company effects a Share Adjustment, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to eliminate the effects of such event on the Merger Consideration.

3.4 Treatment of Equity Awards and ESPP.

(a) At the Effective Time, each outstanding, unexercised Company Option that is vested at the Effective Time, or that vests as a result of the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions (each, a “Vested Company Option”) and has an exercise price per Share that is less than the Per Share Price shall, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive (i) an amount (without interest) in cash, equal in value to (A) the total number of Shares subject to the Vested Company Option multiplied by (B) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Price over the exercise price per Share underlying such Vested Company Option, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment (the “Closing Vested Company Option Consideration”), and (ii) a CVR (together, the “Vested Company Option Consideration”). The

11

Closing Vested Company Option Consideration shall be paid to (i) any holders who are employees or former employees of the Company through payroll, less applicable withholdings and deductions within 30 days following the Closing and (ii) all other holders, through the Company’s accounts payable. At the Effective Time, each Vested Company Option that has an exercise price per Share that is greater than or equal to the Per Share Price will be cancelled immediately for no consideration or payment and without any further action on the part of any Person. Following the Effective Time, no Vested Company Option shall remain outstanding, and each former holder of a Vested Company Option shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except for the right (if any) to receive the Vested Company Option Consideration in exchange for such Vested Company Option in accordance with this Section 3.4(a).

(b) At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is not a Vested Company Option (each, an “Unvested Company Option”) shall, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled immediately for no consideration or payment. Following the Effective Time, no Unvested Company Option shall remain outstanding, and each former holder of a Unvested Company Option shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto.

(c) Notice of Option Treatment. As soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to each holder of a Company Option a letter describing the treatment of such Company Option pursuant to this Section 3.4, and providing instructions for obtaining payment with respect to such Company Option, if any, following the Effective Time, which payment, if any, shall be conditioned on such holder timely executing and delivering to the Company an acknowledgement of and release with respect to the cancellation of the Company Option (an “Option Acknowledgement”); provided that prior to such delivery, the Company shall provide Parent with drafts of each form of Option Acknowledgement and shall incorporate all of Parent’s reasonable comments.

(d) Further Action. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company and the Company Board shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions which are necessary to effectuate the treatment of the Company Options as set forth in this Section 3.4. As of the Effective Time, the Company Stock Plans will terminate and all rights under any other plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest with respect to the capital stock of the Company or any Company Subsidiary will be cancelled.

(e) No current offering periods are underway under the ESPP as of the date of this Agreement. As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall take all actions with respect to the ESPP (including, if appropriate, amending the terms of the ESPP) to provide that no offering periods will commence under the ESPP following the date of this Agreement and the ESPP shall terminate prior to the Effective Time.

3.5 CVR Agreement. At or prior to the Acceptance Time, the Parent and the Purchaser will authorize and duly adopt, execute and deliver, and will ensure that a duly qualified Rights Agent executes and delivers, the CVR Agreement to the Company, subject to any reasonable revisions to the CVR Agreement that are requested by such Rights Agent (provided that such revisions are not, individually or in the aggregate, materially detrimental to any holder of CVRs).

3.6 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.1, but shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the DGCL to a holder of Dissenting Shares.

12

(b) If any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as such (through failure to perfect or otherwise), then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the date of loss of such status, such shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.1, and shall not thereafter be deemed to be Dissenting Shares.

(c) The Company shall give Parent: (i) prompt notice of any written demand for appraisal received by the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL that relates to such demand; and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument.

(ii) the Company Board shall have determined, in good faith, after consultation with independent financial advisors of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Company Superior Proposal and taking into account any revised terms proposed in writing by Parent, such Company Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Company Superior Proposal and, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such Company Change in Recommendation would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

42

(ii) the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with independent financial advisors of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel, that in light of such Company Intervening Event and taking into account any revised terms proposed in writing by Parent, the failure to make a Company Change in Recommendation, would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

SCHEDULE II

Strategic Alternatives Disclosure

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement or in Schedule II have the meaning set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 10-K”).

The Company made the following disclosure in the 2022 10-K (the “Strategic Alternatives Disclosure”):

“In November 2022 we announced that we do not plan to invest in commercializing STS101 and that we would actively explore alternatives to maximize value for shareholders, while minimizing cash expenditures. Based on the following factors, we revised our business plan and strategy in order to maximize value for our stockholders:

• results of the Phase 3 SUMMIT trial, in which STS101 did not achieve statistical superiority to placebo on the co-primary outcome measures;

• our belief, based on review of the SUMMIT trial results in their entirety and our primary market research conducted subsequent to announcement of the SUMMIT trial results, that STS101, if approved and successfully commercialized, has the potential to be an important and differentiated option for the acute treatment of migraine that can address the unmet needs of many people living with migraines;

• the significant decrease in our stock price that occurred following our announcement of the SUMMIT trial results;

• current and anticipated future capital market conditions; and

• our projected need for substantial additional capital were we to continue to develop STS101 through potential regulatory approval and pursue independent commercialization of STS101.

Accordingly, key elements of our revised business plan and strategy are as follows:

• seek to conclude a strategic transaction with an industrial partner or financial sponsor on favorable terms under which a counterparty will financially support and assume responsibility for completing development of and commercializing STS101 (Potential Strategic Transaction);

• minimize cash expenditures and continue to invest in and advance the STS101 development program only to the extent necessary to maintain its viability until such time as we may be able to conclude a Potential Strategic Transaction. To this end, in March 2023, we filed an NDA with the FDA for STS101, and if the FDA accepts the NDA for substantive review, we anticipate the FDA action date for the STS101 NDA will be in January 2024; and

• seek no further funding, as such funding, if available at all, would likely not be available on terms that would be acceptable or favorable to us.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully execute our revised business plan and strategy, and in the event we are unable to timely conclude a Potential Strategic Transaction on acceptable terms, we may be forced to discontinue development of STS101, withdraw the STS101 NDA and pursue other strategic alternatives, such as dissolution and wind-down.”
