On November 2, 2020, a purported stockholder of BioSpecifics filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against BioSpecifics and its directors, captioned Shiva Stein v. BioSpecifics Technologies Corp., et al., Case No. 1:20-cv-01491-UNA (the “Shiva Complaint”). On November 7, 2020, a purported stockholder of BioSpecifics filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York against BioSpecifics and its directors, captioned Michael Azzopardi v. BioSpecifics Technologies Corp., et al., Case No. 1:20-cv-05417 (the “Azzopardi Complaint”). On November 17, 2020, a purported stockholder of BioSpecifics filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against BioSpecifics and its directors, Endo and Purchaser, captioned Alex Ciccotelli v. BioSpecifics Technologies Corp., et al., Case No. 1:20-cv-01545-UNA (the “Ciccotelli Complaint”).

The complaints allege that the Schedule 14D-9 (as filed with the SEC by BioSpecifics on November 2, 2020) is materially incomplete and contains misleading representations and information in violation of Sections 14(e), 14(d) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act.

The Shiva Complaint seeks, among other things, (a) injunctive relief preventing the defendants from proceeding with, consummating or closing the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, unless and until the defendants disclose certain material information to BioSpecifics’ stockholders; (b) rescission, to the extent already implemented, of the Merger Agreement or any of the terms thereof, or rescissory damages; (c) damages resulting from the defendants’ alleged wrongdoing; and (d) an award of costs and disbursements of the complaint, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert fees and expenses.

The Azzopardi Complaint seeks, among other things, (a) injunctive relief preventing the defendants from proceeding with, consummating or closing the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, unless and until the defendants disclose and disseminate certain material information to BioSpecifics’ stockholders; (b) rescission, to the extent already implemented, of the Merger Agreement or any of the terms thereof, or rescissory damages; (c) declaration that the defendants violated Sections 14(e), 14(d)(4) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 14d-9 promulgated thereunder; and (d) an award of reasonable costs and expenses of the complaint, including counsel fees and expenses and expert fees.

The Ciccotelli Complaint seeks, among other things, (a) injunctive relief preventing the defendants from proceeding with, consummating or closing the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (b) rescission, to the extent already implemented, of the Merger Agreement or any of the terms thereof, or rescissory damages; (c) the filing of a solicitation statement that does not contain any untrue statements of material fact and that states all material facts required in it or necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading; (d) declaration that the defendants violated Sections 14(e), 14(d) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 14d-9 promulgated thereunder; and (e) an award of costs of the complaint, including reasonable allowance for attorneys’ fees and expert fees.

Additional complaints may be filed against BioSpecifics, the BioSpecifics Board, Endo and/or Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Schedule TO and the Schedule 14D-9. If such additional complaints are filed, absent new or different allegations that are material, Endo and Purchaser will not necessarily announce such additional complaints.”
