Acquisition of Zynerba

In October 2023, the Company completed a tender offer to purchase the outstanding common stock of Zynerba (“Zynerba Common Stock”) for (i) $1.1059 per share of Zynerba Common Stock (the “Common Cash Amount”), the aggregate amount of which was $60,000 and was paid at closing, plus (ii) one contingent value right (each, a “CVR”) per share of Zynerba Common Stock (the “Common CVR Amount”), which represents the right to receive up to approximately $2.5444 per share of Zynerba Common Stock, subject to the achievement of certain clinical, regulatory and sales-based milestones. The Common CVR Amounts are to be paid in cash, subject to any applicable withholding of taxes and without interest. The aggregate amount of consideration to acquire Zynerba Common Stock was $60,000, excluding transaction related fees of $2,645 and was paid by the Company using cash on hand.

The Zynerba Acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, because substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired was concentrated in a single identifiable IPR&D asset, ZYN002, Zynerba’s lead asset. ZYN002 is the first and only pharmaceutically manufactured, synthetic cannabidiol, devoid of THC, formulated as a patent-protected permeation-enhanced gel for transdermal delivery through the skin and into the circulatory system and is currently in Phase III clinical trial for the potential treatment of Fragile X Syndrome. The Company recognized the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on the consideration paid, including transaction costs, on a relative fair value basis, and after first allocating the preliminary excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the purchase price consideration to certain qualifying assets, principally, the IPR&D asset.

Acquisition of Epygenix

On April 30, 2024, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Epygenix pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase agreement. In connection with the closing of the transaction, the Company paid the former stockholders of Epygenix up front consideration of $35,000 less a working capital

adjustment. In addition, the Company will be obligated to pay up to $130,000 upon the achievement of development and regulatory milestones and up to $515,000 upon the achievement of certain sales-based milestones, in each case to Epygenix’s former stockholders. As a result, the Company now has an exclusive license relating to the use of clemizole, initially for the treatment of Dravet Syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome.

The total purchase consideration for Epygenix was as follows:

Cash consideration paid to selling shareholders and to settle restricted stock units ("RSUs")	$	32,686
Transaction costs		450
Total purchase consideration	$	33,136

The acquisition of Epygenix was accounted for as an asset acquisition under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The Company did not acquire any outputs and there was not an acquired substantive process in place to create outputs. The Company recognized the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on the consideration paid, including transaction costs, on a relative fair value basis, and after first allocating the preliminary excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the purchase price consideration to certain qualifying assets, principally, the IPR&D asset. In accordance with the accounting for asset acquisitions, an entity that acquires IPR&D assets in an asset acquisition follows the guidance in ASC Topic 730, Research and Development, which requires that both tangible and intangible identifiable research and development assets with no alternative future use be allocated a portion of the consideration transferred and recorded as research and development expense at the acquisition date. As a result, the Company recorded a charge of $17,095 related to acquired in-process research and development expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

The following table shows the allocation of the purchase consideration based on the relative fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Company, after reducing the excess fair value of the IPR&D asset as described above:

Assets acquired
Acquired in-process research and development	$	17,095
Deferred tax asset		18,268
Other assets		590
Total assets acquired	$	35,953
Total liabilities assumed	$	2,817
Net assets acquired	$	33,136
