Except as set forth in this Amendment, the information set forth in the Schedule TO and the exhibits thereto remains unchanged. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO or the Offer to Purchase, as applicable.

“Certain Litigation.
As of January 2, 2025, two (2) complaints have been filed in New York state court, each relating to the Merger. On December 17, 2024, a purported stockholder of Revance filed a lawsuit in Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York against Revance and its directors, captioned Matthew Wright v. Revance Therapeutics, Inc. et al., Index No. 659713/2024 (the “Wright Complaint”). On December 18, 2024, a purported stockholder of Revance filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York against Revance and its directors, captioned Anthony Malone v. Revance Therapeutics, Inc., et al., Index No. 659729/2024 (the “Malone Complaint” and, together with the Wright Complaint, the “Complaints”). The Complaints allege that the Schedule 14D-9 issued in connection with the Merger omits material information and contains misleading disclosures and, as a result, asserts causes of action against all defendants for (i) negligent misrepresentation and concealment in violation of New York common law; and (ii) negligence in violation of New York common law. The Complaints seek, among other things, (i) injunctive relief preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the A&R Merger Agreement; (ii) rescission or actual or punitive damages in the event the transactions contemplated by the A&R Merger Agreement have been consummated; and (iii) an award of plaintiff’s expenses, including attorneys’ and experts’ fees. Revance has also received certain demand letters from purported stockholders of Revance making similar assertions as the Complaints (the “Letters”).
Additional lawsuits may be filed against Revance, the Revance Board, and/or Crown and/or Merger Sub in connection with the transactions contemplated by the A&R Merger Agreement, the Offer and the Schedule 14D-9. If additional similar complaints are filed, absent new or different allegations that are material, Revance will not necessarily announce such additional filings. No assurances can be made as to the outcome of such lawsuits, the Complaints or the Letters. However, in order to alleviate the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation, Revance has provided supplemental disclosures related to the proposed Transactions, all of which are set forth in Revance’s Amendment No. 1 to the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 filed by Revance with the SEC on January 2, 2025 (the “Supplemental Disclosures”). The Supplemental Disclosures should not be
