Innoviva and Innoviva Sub (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) are filing this amendment to reflect the amendment of the Credit Agreement (as defined below).

On July 10, 2023, the Issuer and Innoviva Sub entered into an amendment to the secured convertible credit and security agreement, dated January 10, 2023, by and among the Issuer, Innoviva Sub and the other parties thereto (the “Credit Agreement” and such amendment, the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) which Credit Agreement Amendment extended the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to January 10, 2025 and revised the definitions of “Permitted Indebtedness” and “Permitted Liens” (each as defined therein) to permit certain indebtedness and liens securing certain obligations under the New Credit Facility (defined below).

Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D (as amended), the Reporting Persons did not acquire or sell any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer during the last 60 days.

The New Credit Facility is further described in the Issuer’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 11, 2023.

The foregoing descriptions of the terms of the New Credit Facility and of the Credit Agreement Amendment do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the New Credit Facility and the full text of the Credit Agreement Amendment, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to the Form 8-K of the Issuer filed with the SEC on July 11, 2023.
