The Offer is being made pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 21, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”), among Ignyta, Parent and Purchaser. Following the consummation of the Offer, and under the terms of the Merger Agreement as described in the Offer to Purchase, Purchaser intends to effect the Merger (defined below) as described below.

THE OFFER AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS EXPIRE AT 12:00 MIDNIGHT, EASTERN TIME,

AT THE END OF THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2018, UNLESS THE OFFER IS EXTENDED OR EARLIER TERMINATED.

The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that as soon as practicable after the consummation of the Offer and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Purchaser will merge with and into Ignyta (the “Merger”), with Ignyta continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding Share (other than any Shares held by Ignyta, its subsidiaries, Parent, Purchaser or any other subsidiary of Parent, or any stockholders who have properly exercised their appraisal rights under Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”)) will be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, net to the seller in cash, without interest and subject to deduction for any required withholding taxes. The Merger Agreement is more fully described in Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase.

If the Offer is consummated, Purchaser does not anticipate seeking the approval of Ignyta’s remaining public stockholders before effecting the Merger. The parties to the Merger Agreement have agreed that, subject to the conditions specified in the Merger Agreement, the Merger will become effective as soon as practicable after the consummation of the Offer, without a vote of Ignyta’s stockholders, in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL.

The Ignyta board of directors (the “Ignyta Board”) has duly and unanimously (i) approved the Merger Agreement and declared the Merger Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement to be advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of Ignyta and its stockholders; (ii) resolved that the Merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement shall be governed by and effected without a stockholder meeting pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL; and (iii) recommended that the holders of the Shares accept the Offer and tender their Shares to Purchaser pursuant to the Offer. Ignyta has been advised that all of its directors and executive officers intend to tender all of their transferrable Shares pursuant to the Offer.

On the date of the Offer to Purchase, Ignyta will file its Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement onSchedule 14D-9 (the “Schedule 14D-9”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and disseminate theSchedule 14D-9 to Ignyta stockholders with the Offer to Purchase. TheSchedule 14D-9 will include a more complete description of the Ignyta Board’s reasons for authorizing and approving the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and therefore stockholders are encouraged to review theSchedule 14D-9 carefully and in its entirety.

The Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, (i) there being validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Offer and not validly withdrawn, prior to the expiration of the Offer, a number of Shares (excluding Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee) that, considered together with all other Shares beneficially owned by Parent and its affiliates, represent at least a majority of the total number of shares of Ignyta common stock outstanding at the time of the expiration of the Offer (which we refer to as the “Minimum Condition”); and (ii) the expiration or termination of the waiting period (and any extension thereof) or receipt of clearance under (a) the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), and (b) any foreign competition, merger control, trade regulation, antitrust or similar laws applicable to the Offer and the Merger. These and other conditions to the Offer are described in “The Offer—Section 15—Conditions to the Offer” and “The Offer—Section 16—Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals” of the Offer to Purchase.

To the extent permitted by law, Purchaser also reserves the right to waive any of the conditions to the Offer and to make any change in the terms of the Offer, provided that Ignyta’s consent is required for Purchaser to (i) decrease the Offer Price, (ii) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (iii) decrease the maximum number of Shares sought to be purchased in the Offer, (iv) impose conditions or requirements to the Offer in addition to those described in “The Offer—Section 15—Conditions to the Offer” in the Offer to Purchase, (v) amend, change or modify any of the conditions to the Offer in a manner that adversely affects, or reasonably could adversely affect, any holder of Shares, (vi) amend, change, modify or waive the Minimum Condition or theNon-Waivable Conditions (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), or (vii) terminate or withdraw the Offer or accelerate, extend or otherwise change the Expiration Time, except as described under “The Offer—Section 13—The Transaction Documents—The Merger Agreement—Extensions of the Offer” in the Offer to Purchase.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, if at the scheduled expiration time of the Offer, including following a prior extension, any condition to the Offer has not been satisfied or waived, Purchaser will extend the Offer for one or more consecutive periods of not more than ten business days until such time as such conditions

shall have been satisfied or waived. In addition, Purchaser will extend the Offer for any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or its staff or the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market or applicable law that is applicable to the Offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser is not obligated or, in the absence of Ignyta’s prior written consent, permitted, to extend the Offer beyond the earlier to occur of (i) the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in compliance with the terms thereof and (ii) June 21, 2018.

If you desire to tender your Shares, and certificates evidencing your Shares are not immediately available or you cannot deliver such certificates and all other required documents to the Depositary or you cannot comply with the procedures for book-entry transfer described in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase, in each case prior to the Expiration Time, you may tender your Shares by following the procedures for guaranteed delivery set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase.

For purposes of the Offer, Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted for payment Shares tendered when, as and if Purchaser gives oral or written notice of Purchaser’s acceptance to the Depositary. Purchaser will pay for Shares accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer by deposit of the purchase price therefor with the Depositary, which will act as agent for tendering stockholders for the purpose of receiving payments and transmitting such payments to tendering stockholders.Under no circumstances will Purchaser pay interest on the consideration paid for Shares pursuant to the Offer, regardless of any extension of the Offer or any delay in making such payment.

Except as otherwise provided in the “The Offer — Section 4 — Withdrawal Rights,” tenders of Shares pursuant to the Offer are irrevocable. However, you may withdraw some Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer at any time prior to the Expiration Time as explained below. For your withdrawal to be effective, a written or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal with respect to the applicable Shares must be timely received by the Depositary at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover of the Offer to Purchase, and the notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the person who tendered the Shares to be withdrawn, the number of Shares to be withdrawn and, if different from that of the person who tendered such Shares, the name of the registered holder of the Shares. If the Shares to be withdrawn have been delivered to the Depositary (except in the case of Shares tendered by an Eligible Institution (as defined in the Offer to Purchase)), a signed notice of withdrawal with signatures guaranteed by an Eligible Institution must be submitted before the release of such Shares. In addition, such notice must specify, in the case of Shares tendered by delivery of certificates, the serial numbers shown on the specific certificates evidencing the Shares to be withdrawn or, in the case of Shares tendered by book-entry transfer, the name and number of the account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) to be credited with the withdrawn Shares. Withdrawals may not be rescinded, and Shares withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not validly tendered. However, withdrawn Shares may be retendered at any time before the Expiration Time by again following any of the procedures described in the Offer to Purchase.

Subject to applicable law as applied by a court of competent jurisdiction, Purchaser will determine, in its sole discretion, all questions as to the form of documents and the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tender of Shares, and its determination will be final and binding.
