1. The Offer Price for the Offer is $57.00 per Share net to you in cash, without interest thereon and subject to any applicable tax withholding.

2. The Offer is being made for all issued and outstanding Shares.

3. The Offer is being made pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated July 7, 2024, by and among Morphic, Lilly and Purchaser (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, after consummation of the Offer and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, Purchaser will merge with and into Morphic pursuant to Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, with Morphic continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lilly (the “Merger”).

4. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) Shares owned by Morphic or any wholly-owned subsidiary of Morphic immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) Shares owned by Lilly, Purchaser or any other subsidiary of Lilly at the commencement of the Offer and owned by Lilly, Purchaser or any other subsidiary of Lilly immediately prior to the Effective Time, (iii) Shares irrevocably accepted for purchase in the Offer or (iv) Shares that are held by stockholders who are entitled to demand and properly demand appraisal for such Shares pursuant to and in compliance in all respects with Section 262 of the DGCL and do not fail to perfect or otherwise waive, withdraw or lose their rights to such appraisal with respect to such Shares under the DGCL) will automatically be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price in cash and without interest, from Purchaser, subject to any applicable tax withholding.

6. The Offer and withdrawal rights will expire at the Expiration Time. The term “Expiration Time” means one minute past 11:59 P.M., Eastern Time, on August 15, 2024, unless the expiration of the Offer is extended to a subsequent date in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, in which case the term “Expiration Time” means such subsequent time on such subsequent date.
