To Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks, Trust Companies and Other Nominees:

We have been engaged by Shenandoah Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eli Lilly and Company, an Indiana corporation (“Lilly”), to act as information agent (the “Information Agent”) in connection with Purchaser’s offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), of Sigilon Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sigilon”), in exchange for (a) $14.92 per Share, net to the stockholder in cash, without interest (the “Closing Amount”) and less any applicable tax withholding, plus (b) one non-tradable CVR per Share, which represents the contractual right to receive contingent payments of up to $111.64 per CVR, net to the stockholder in cash, without interest and less any applicable tax withholding, upon the achievement of certain specified milestones in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of a contingent value rights agreement to be entered into with a rights agent selected by Lilly and reasonably acceptable to Sigilon, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated July 13, 2023 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal” which, together with the Offer to Purchase, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, collectively constitute the “Offer”). Please furnish copies of the enclosed materials to those of your clients for whom you hold Shares registered in your name or in the name of your nominee.

The Offer is not subject to any financing condition. The conditions to the Offer are described in Section 15 of the Offer to Purchase.

For your information and for forwarding to your clients for whom you hold Shares registered in your name or in the name of your nominee, we are enclosing the following documents:

1. The Offer to Purchase;

2. The Letter of Transmittal (including Internal Revenue Service Form W-9) for your use in accepting the Offer and tendering Shares and for the information of your clients;

3. A form of letter which may be sent to your clients for whose accounts you hold Shares registered in your name or in the name of your nominee, with space provided for obtaining such clients’ instructions with regard to the Offer; and

4. Sigilon’s Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9.

We urge you to contact your clients as promptly as possible. Please note that the Offer and withdrawal rights will expire at one minute past 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 9, 2023 (the “Expiration Time”), unless the expiration of the Offer is extended to a subsequent date in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement (as defined below), in which case the term “Expiration Time” means such subsequent time on such subsequent date. Purchaser is not providing for guaranteed delivery procedures. Therefore, Sigilon stockholders must allow sufficient time for the necessary tender procedures to be completed during normal business hours of The Depositary Trust Company (“DTC”), which is earlier than the Expiration Time. Normal business hours of DTC are between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Eastern Time, Monday through Friday.

The Offer is being made pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated June 28, 2023 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Sigilon, Lilly and Purchaser, pursuant to which, after consummation of the Offer and the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, Purchaser will merge with and into Sigilon pursuant to Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the “DGCL”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, with Sigilon continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lilly (the “Merger”).

The Board of Directors of Sigilon unanimously (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Transactions”) are advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, Sigilon and its stockholders, (ii) duly authorized and approved the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the performance by Sigilon of its covenants and other obligations thereunder, and the consummation of the Transactions upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, (iii) resolved that the Merger Agreement and the Transactions will be governed by and effected under Section 251(h) and other relevant provisions of the DGCL and (iv) resolved to recommend that Sigilon stockholders accept the Offer and tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer.

For Shares to be properly tendered to the Purchaser pursuant to the Offer, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary and paying agent for the Offer (the “Depositary”), must be in timely receipt of (i) to the extent the Shares are not already held with the Depositary, the certificates evidencing such Shares or confirmation of a book-entry transfer of such Shares into the Depositary’s account at DTC pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase, (ii) the Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, with any required signature guarantees (or, in the case of a book-entry transfer or a tender through DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program, an Agent’s Message (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) in lieu of the Letter of Transmittal) and (iii) any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal or the Depositary, in each case prior to the Expiration Time.

Neither Lilly nor Purchaser will pay any fees or commissions to any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or to any other person (other than to the Depositary and the Information Agent as described in the Offer

to Purchase) in connection with the solicitation of tenders of Shares pursuant to the Offer. Brokers, dealers, commercial banks and trust companies will, upon request, be reimbursed by Purchaser for customary mailing and handling expenses incurred by them in forwarding offering materials to their customers. Tendering stockholders who are holders of record of their Shares and who tender directly to the Depositary will not be obligated to pay stock transfer taxes with respect to the purchase of Shares by Purchaser pursuant to the Offer, except as otherwise provided in Section 6 of the Letter of Transmittal.
