All page references used herein refer to pages in the Schedule 14D-9 before any additions or deletions resulting from the supplemental disclosures, and capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 14D-9. Underlined and bolded text shows text being added to a referenced disclosure in the Schedule 14D-9 and stricken-through text shows text being deleted from a referenced disclosure in the Schedule 14D-9. Except as specifically noted herein, the information set forth in the Schedule 14D-9, as amended by the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement (Amendment No. 1) on Schedule 14D-9 filed with the SEC on September 14, 2023, the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement (Amendment No. 2) on Schedule 14D-9 filed with the SEC on September 15, 2023, the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement (Amendment No. 3) on Schedule 14D-9 filed with the SEC on September 27, 2023, the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement (Amendment No. 4) on Schedule 14D-9 filed with the SEC on September 29, 2023 and the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement (Amendment No. 5) on Schedule 14D-9 filed with the SEC on October 4, 2023, remains unchanged.

ITEM 8.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Item 8 of the Schedule 14D-9 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The following new subsection shall be added before the final subsection entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”:
“Final Results of the Offer
The Offer and withdrawal rights expired at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on Tuesday, October 10, 2023 (such date and time, the “Expiration Time”), and the Offer was not extended. Purchaser was advised by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary for the Offer (the “Depositary”), that, as of the Expiration Time, a total of 28,236,148 Shares had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, representing, as of the Expiration Time, approximately 52.3% of the issued and outstanding Shares (not including 1,072,940 Shares delivered through Notices of Guaranteed Delivery, representing approximately 2.0% of the Shares issued and outstanding). As of the Expiration Time, the number of Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer satisfied the Minimum Condition and all other conditions to the Offer were satisfied or waived. All Shares that were validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer have been irrevocably accepted for payment by the Purchaser. Purchaser will promptly pay for all Shares accepted pursuant to the Offer.
As a result of its acceptance of the Shares tendered in the Offer, Purchaser acquired a sufficient number of Shares to complete the Merger without a vote of the stockholders of Zynerba pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL and accordingly, the Merger was completed on October 10, 2023. At the Effective Time, each Share (other than Excluded Shares) was automatically converted into the right to receive the Offer Price.
As a result of the Merger, the Shares will be delisted and will cease to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Harmony Biosciences and Purchaser intend to take steps to cause the termination of the registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act and suspend all of Zynerba’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable.
On October 11, 2023, Harmony Biosciences issued a press release announcing the expiration and results of the Offer. The full text of the press release is attached as Exhibit (a)(5)(O) hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.”
