    PureTech Health plc (NASDAQ:PRTC, LSE: PRTC))) ("PureTech" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotherapeutics company dedicated to changing the lives of patients with devastating diseases, today announces the results of the Tender Offer, as set out in the Shareholder circular published by the Company on 20 May 2024 (the ‘'Circular'').

    Capitalised terms used in this announcement but not defined have the meanings given to them in the Circular.

    The Tender Offer for the Company's Ordinary Shares closed at 1:00 p.m. London time on Thursday 20 June 2024 (the "Ordinary Share Closing Date"), and the Tender Offer for the Company's ADSs closed at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on Tuesday 18 June 2024 (the "ADS Closing Date").

    The maximum aggregate number of Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) that could be purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer was 33,500,000 Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) at a fixed price of 250 pence per Ordinary Share (equivalent to £25.00 per ADS) (the "Tender Price") for maximum aggregate amount of $100 million. Valid tenders were received in respect of 172,408,704 Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs).

    As the Tender Offer was oversubscribed by 140,867,938 Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs), not all of the Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) that have been validly tendered will be accepted and purchased. Therefore, tenders will be scaled down pro-rata to the total number of Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) so tendered by that Shareholder, such that the total cost of Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer does not exceed $100 million or the total number of validly tendered Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) does not exceed 33,500,000 Ordinary Shares, as described in paragraphs 2.14 of Part V of the Circular.

    If any fractions arise from the scaling-down as stated above, the number of Ordinary Shares tendered by each Shareholder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Ordinary Share (or to nil, as the case may be) and purchased in the Tender Offer and the balance of the total number of Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) so tendered by that Shareholder will not be accepted and purchased in the Tender Offer and will be returned to Shareholders, as described in paragraphs 2.15 of Part V of the Circular.

    In total 31,540,670 Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) will be purchased in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Tender Offer at the Tender Price, for a total cost of $100 million. This represents approximately 12 per cent of the Issued Ordinary Share Capital of the Company.

    As detailed in the Circular, the Company will buy back the successfully tendered Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) from Jefferies International Limited ("Jefferies") and, following such repurchase, cancel such Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs), thereby reducing its total Issued Ordinary Share Capital and total voting rights from 270,859,250 to 239,318,580 Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs), excluding 18,608,909 Ordinary Shares held in treasury. This figure may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Transparency Regulations and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority.

    It is anticipated that the proceeds will be payable as follows:

    Shareholders of Ordinary Shares

    • the proceeds payable to the Company's Shareholders for Ordinary Shares held in Certificated Form purchased under the Tender Offer will be despatched in the form of a cheque by or on 3 July 2024; and
    • the proceeds payable to the Company's Shareholders for Ordinary Shares in Uncertificated Form purchased under the Tender Offer will be paid through CREST by or on 25 June 2024.

    ADSs Holders

    • the proceeds payable for successfully tendered Ordinary Shares represented by ADS Holders who hold ADSs on the books of the Depositary will be despatched in the form of a cheque by or on 3 July 2024, at the risk of the person entitled thereto; and
    • the proceeds payable for successfully tendered Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs held by ADS Holders who hold ADSs through a bank, broker or other nominee participant of DTC will be made to DTC by or on 3 July 2024.

    The Company intends to rely on the Tier II exemption from Rule 14e-1(c) on prompt payment where the Company will follow English law and practice.

    All cash payments of proceeds for successfully tendered Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs under the Tender Offer will be made (i) by Jefferies in pounds sterling by CREST payment to the nominee account of the Depositary, in respect of Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs, and then (ii) after conversion thereof by the Tender Agent, in US dollars, (a) in the case of ADS Holders whose ADSs are held on the books of the Depositary, by cheque, and (b) in the case of payment to Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC, by wire transfer issued by a US bank, in each case in respect of ADSs purchased in the Tender Offer. The actual amount of US dollars received will depend upon the exchange rate obtained when such currency is exchanged. In all cases, fluctuations in the US dollar/pound sterling exchange rate are at the risk of the tendering ADS Holders who will receive their consideration in US dollars.

    The attention of Shareholders and ADS Holders is drawn to Part VI of the Circular, which provides a summary of certain material UK tax and US federal income tax consequences for Shareholders and ADS Holders of accepting the Tender Offer or receipt of the Special Dividend (if any).

    Jefferies will implement the Tender Offer by acquiring, as principal, the successfully tendered Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) at the Tender Price. Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) purchased by Jefferies pursuant to the Tender Offer will be purchased as principal and such purchases will be market purchases in accordance with the provisions of the Act, the Prospectus Regulation Rules, the Listing Rules, the rules of the London Stock Exchange, the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules and the Takeover Code. Immediately following completion of the Tender Offer, Jefferies shall exercise its right to sell such Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs) to the Company, at the Tender Price, pursuant to the Option Agreement.
