On March 24, 2024, concurrent with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, Xontogeny entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with the Issuer, Parent and Perceptive Advisors LLC, pursuant to which each of Xontogeny and Perceptive Advisors, including their respective affiliates, agreed to (i) vote their shares of Common Stock (such shares, the “Restricted Shares”), in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and against any alternative acquisition proposals, (ii) refrain from engaging in certain solicitation activities that may be reasonably expected to constitute or result in any alternative acquisition proposal, and (iii) refrain from (a) transferring, selling, assigning, gifting, hedging, pledging or otherwise disposing of, or entering into any derivative arrangement with respect to their Restricted Shares, or any rights or interests therein (or consenting to any of the foregoing), (b) entering into any contract, option or other agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to any transfer of Restricted Shares or any interests therein, (c) granting or permitting the grant of any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization or consent in or with respect to their Restricted Shares or (d) depositing or permitting the deposit of any of their Restricted Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any of such Restricted Shares, in a manner that would adversely affect their ability to perform their obligations under the Voting Agreement.
