Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the filing fee. The transaction valuation was calculated by adding (i) 33,088,222 outstanding shares of common stock of Sagent Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
(Sagent), par value $0.01 per share (the Shares), multiplied by the offer price of $21.75 per Share, (ii) 1,849,185 Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options with an exercise price less than the offer price of
$21.75 per Share, multiplied by $5.90, which is the offer price of $21.75 per Share minus the weighted average exercise price for such options of $15.85 per Share, and (iii) 189,284 restricted stock units multiplied by the offer price of $21.75
per Share. The calculation of the filing fee is based on information provided by Sagent as of July 26, 2016.

The amount of the filing fee is calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Rate Advisory #1 for fiscal year 2016, issued August 27, 2015 by multiplying the
transaction value by .0001007.

This Amendment No. 4 (this Amendment) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule TO (as amended and together with any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, the Schedule TO), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 1, 2016 by Shepard Vision, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(Purchaser) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nichi-Iko Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., a joint stock corporation organized under the laws of Japan (Parent). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all of the
outstanding shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the Shares), of Sagent Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Sagent), at a price of $21.75 per Share (the Offer Price) net to the holder in
cash, without interest, subject to any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated August 1, 2016 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the Offer to
Purchase), and in the related letter of transmittal (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the Letter of Transmittal), copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii), respectively, which
Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal collectively constitute the Offer.
The information in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of
Transmittal is incorporated in this Amendment by reference to all of the applicable items in the Schedule TO, except that such information is amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used and
not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase or in the Schedule TO.

Legal Proceedings
We have been
informed by Sagent that on August 8, 2016, a putative class-action lawsuit challenging the Transactions (captioned
Van Matre v. Oberman, et al.
, Case No. 2016-CH-10413) was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County,
Illinois, County Department-Chancery Division (the Cook County Stockholder Action). The complaint was filed against each member of the Sagent Board. The complaint generally alleges that the Sagent directors breached their fiduciary
duties in connection with the Transactions. The complaint also generally asserts that the Sagent directors breached their fiduciary duties to Sagents stockholders by, among other things, (i) agreeing to sell Sagent to Parent and Purchaser
at an inadequate price that will not allow the Sagent stockholders to take advantage of the potential future success of Sagent or the benefits that Parent will receive from the Merger, (ii) implementing an unfair process, (iii) agreeing to
certain provisions of the Merger Agreement that allegedly favor Parent and Purchaser and deter alternative bids, (iv) having conflicts of interest, and (v) failing to disclose purportedly material information in the Schedule 14D-9. The
plaintiff seeks, among other things, an injunction against the consummation of the Transactions and an award of costs and expenses, including a reasonable allowance for attorneys and experts fees and expenses. Parent and Purchaser are
not named defendants in this action.
On August 9, 2016, a second putative class-action lawsuit challenging the Transactions (captioned
Karbash v. Sagent Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al.
, Case No. 1:16-cv-7973) was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the Federal Stockholder Action, and together with the Cook County
Stockholder Action, the Stockholder Actions). The complaint was filed against: (a) Sagent, (b) each member of the Sagent Board, (c) Parent, and (d) Purchaser. The complaint alleges that the defendants violated
Sections 14(d) and 14(e) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder. The complaint also alleges that the Board and Parent violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act (by virtue of their alleged control over persons who violated
Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act), as well as Rule 14a-9 thereunder. In addition, the complaint generally asserts that, among other things, (i) the $21.75 per Share consideration to be paid to plaintiff is unfair and inadequate because,
among other things, the intrinsic value of Sagent is materially in excess of the amount offered in the Transactions, (ii) the Schedule 14D-9 fails to disclose purportedly material information, (iii) the defendants agreed to certain
provisions in the Merger Agreement that deter alternative bids, and (iv) certain Sagent directors have conflicts of interest. The plaintiff seeks, among other things, an injunction against the consummation of the Transactions, a declaration
that the defendants violated Sections 14(d), 14(e) and 20(a) (by virtue of their alleged control over persons who violated Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act) of the Exchange Act, as well as Rule 14a-9 thereunder, and an award of costs and
expenses, including a reasonable allowance for attorneys and experts fees. The plaintiff has also moved to shorten the briefing schedule and for an expedited hearing on its motion for a preliminary injunction.
On August 18, 2016, solely to avoid the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation, and without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, the parties
to the Stockholder Actions entered into a memorandum of understanding (the MOU) setting forth an agreement-in-principle to settle all claims related thereto. In connection with the MOU, the Company agreed to amend the Schedule 14D-9,
previously filed with the SEC, to include certain supplemental disclosures set forth herein (the Supplemental Disclosures). The settlement is subject to, among other items, the Merger becoming effective under applicable law, the
execution of a stipulation of settlement by the parties, final approval by the Circuit Court in the
Van Matre
action, and dismissal with prejudice of the
Karbash
action. Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the MOU,
the defendants will be released by the plaintiffs from all claims concerning or arising out of the Transactions and the Merger Agreement, and the disclosures relating to the foregoing.
