Alfasigma S.p.A. ("Alfasigma") announced today that it has, through its wholly owned subsidiary Interstellar Acquisition Inc. ("Interstellar"), successfully completed its tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock of Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ICPT) ("Intercept"), at a price of USD 19.00 per share, net to the seller thereof in cash, without interest, less any applicable withholding of taxes.

The tender offer expired as scheduled at one minute after 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on November 7, 2023 (12:00 midnight, Eastern Time, on November 8, 2023). As of the expiration, 31,158,412 shares of common stock of Intercept had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, representing approximately 74.5 percent of Intercept's outstanding shares of common stock, according to the depositary for the tender offer. The conditions to the tender offer were satisfied, and Alfasigma and Interstellar have accepted for payment and will promptly pay the depositary for all validly tendered shares.

Alfasigma expects to complete the acquisition of Intercept on November 8, 2023, through a merger without a vote or meeting of Intercept's stockholders pursuant to Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. At the effective time of the merger, and subject to any perfected appraisal rights, all of the remaining shares of common stock of Intercept not purchased in the tender offer will be converted into the right to receive the same USD 19.00 per share, net to the seller thereof in cash, without interest, less any applicable withholding of taxes. Upon completion of the merger, Intercept will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Alfasigma, and the common stock of Intercept will cease to be traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market.

On November 8, 2023, Alfasigma intends to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") an amendment to the tender offer statement on Schedule TO which sets forth the final results of the tender offer.

Computershare Trust Company, N.A. is acting as depositary for the tender offer.
