Sanofi (SNY) SC TO-C Information about tender offer

Exhibit 99.2

December 8, 2019

Dear Synthorx Employees,

I have exciting news to share with you about a significant announcement we have made describing Sanofi’s intent to acquire Synthorx. Attached is a copy of the press release announcing the proposed transaction.

As a company, we have one-of-a-kind DNA and as individuals we are all unique, but together we have always been one for patients. We have a common goal to improve the lives of people with cancer and autoimmune disorders through our proprietary, first-of-its kind platform technology designed to create optimized biologics. We should all be extremely proud of the scientific impact we are making and the tremendous success of our company. The acquisition of Synthorx by Sanofi gives us reach and impact that we could not have had alone. We know THOR-707 and our cytokine Synthorins have tremendous potential, but to help the greatest number of patients, we need studies combining our drugs with other agents. Now we have a greater ability to do this.

It is important for me to emphasize that this development was a direct result of the hard work and dedication of all our Synthoricians, our founder Floyd Romesberg, the COI team and our many partners that have helped us along the way. The addition of Synthorx to the Sanofi family creates an opportunity for us to become part of a company that is a market leader in healthcare, furthering our mission to prolong and improve the lives of people with cancer and autoimmune disorders. Sanofi is a global leader in the areas of oncology and the treatment of autoimmune disorders, providing comprehensive clinical laboratory and end-to-end drug development services.

The acquisition of Synthorx advances Sanofi’s strategy to deliver world-class oncology and autoimmune disorder therapies. Our technology complements Sanofi’s extensive cancer and autoimmune disorder products and product candidate pipeline. Additionally, Sanofi can leverage its significant in-place infrastructure to further develop and commercialize the product candidates Synthorx is working to develop. For Synthorx, becoming part of Sanofi helps us advance our cytokine Synthorins and our technology platform with greater efficiency and resources.

Looking to next steps, we expect the transaction to close in the first quarter of 2020, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. We will be making the required filings with the SEC regarding the transaction, and as soon as we have additional information to share, we will be in touch with you. We greatly appreciate your understanding of the situation, as we are limited in what we are able to communicate at this point, but please rest assured that we will provide you with additional information as the process unfolds.

Until the closing of the proposed transaction, we will continue to operate as an independent company and continue to focus on our key objectives for our pipeline and technology platform. Today’s announcement should have no impact on our day-to-day operations, and it is important that we all stay focused on our daily responsibilities. Our unwavering commitment to designing and building optimized therapeutics and a new generation of tailored medicines is what has made this tremendous opportunity possible. Please stay focused on that commitment.

I also want to take this opportunity to emphasize how the Synthorx board of directors, the Synthorx executive team, and I value and appreciate the important contributions you have made — and make — each and every day. It is your hard work that has been the foundation of our success, and I am confident that we will continue to thrive under Sanofi’s management.

I believe that this opportunity is the best result for Synthorx, its employees and the patients we serve. This was a decision that management and the board of directors did not enter into casually. I would like to thank you for your continued dedication, support, and contribution, particularly over the last year, which has resulted in tremendous progress and success for our company. The success that we have experienced, has allowed us to become a pioneer in our industry and has made this transaction possible.

As I am sure you can imagine, this announcement is likely to generate increased amounts of inquiries regarding our company. As always, it is important that we speak with one voice. If you receive any inquiries, please immediately forward them to either me or our General Counsel, Chris Kuhlen.

We truly appreciate your cooperation.

On December 13^th, we will hold a company-wide meeting to share some additional details with you surrounding the transaction. I expect that you have a lot of questions, and although we do not yet have all of the answers in place, we will provide you with as much information as we can. Thank you for your continued commitment and dedication to Synthorx.

Sincerely Yours,

Laura Shawver

President and CEO

including that a governmental entity may prohibit, delay or refuse to grant approval for the consummation of the tender offer or the merger; the effects of disruption from the transactions of Synthorx’s business and the fact that the announcement and pendency of the transactions may make it more difficult to establish or maintain relationships with employees or vendors.
