Exhibit 99.3
Business Partner Email
Dear [Name],
As a valued partner of Myovant, I am reaching out today to share some exciting news about our company. A short time ago, Myovant announced that we have entered into an agreement to be acquired by our majority shareholder Sumitovant Biopharma, a subsidiary of Sumitomo Pharma. This represents a significant milestone in our mission to redefine care and improve the lives of the patients we serve (press release attached).
We believe this combination is the ideal next step in our well-established relationship with Sumitovant, representing an unprecedented opportunity to leverage our collective expertise and resources to continue to deliver innovative therapies that address the significant patient needs in women’s health and prostate cancer.
The transaction is anticipated to close in the first quarter of 2023 subject to customary closing conditions. Until the transaction closes it remains business as usual and we do not anticipate any immediate changes to our relationship. We will keep you updated as the process proceeds. We remain focused on continuing our collaborative efforts with you to bring [MYFEMBREE/RYEQO/ORGOVYX] to the patients who will benefit.
[Name of designated person from Myovant] will reach out to [Name of counterpart at alliance partner]. In the meantime, please let us know of any specific questions you may have as a result of this announcement and we would be happy to facilitate the appropriate connections.
From Myovant Alliance Manager
