Agreement and Plan of Merger

On April 5, 2026, Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Neurocrine”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Neurocrine, Sigma Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Neurocrine (“Purchaser”), and Soleno Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Soleno”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Neurocrine, through Purchaser, will commence a cash tender offer (the “Offer”), to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Soleno (the “Shares”), at a price of $53.00 per Share (the “Offer Price”), in cash, without interest and subject to any required withholding of taxes.

The obligation of Purchaser to accept for payment and pay for any Shares validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer (the time of such acceptance for payment, the “Offer Acceptance Time”) is subject to certain specified conditions, including (i) that there will have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn Shares that, considered together with all other Shares (if any) beneficially owned by Neurocrine and its subsidiaries, represent one more Share than 50% of the total number of Shares outstanding at the time of the expiration of the Offer; (ii) subject to certain materiality exceptions, the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties of Soleno contained in the Merger Agreement; (iii) compliance with, or performance in all material respects of, all of the covenants and agreements that Soleno is required to comply with or perform at or prior to the Offer Acceptance Time; (iv) the absence of a material adverse effect on Soleno; (v) the termination or expiration of any applicable waiting period (and extensions thereof) relating to the Offer under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”); (vi) the absence of any order, decree or ruling by a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction within a jurisdiction that is material to the business and operations of Soleno or Neurocrine restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Offer or the Merger (as defined below) and (vii) certain other customary conditions set forth in Annex I to the Merger Agreement. The Offer is not subject to any financing condition.

Neurocrine and Purchaser have agreed to commence the Offer within ten business days from the date of the Merger Agreement and to keep the Offer open for twenty business days from the date of commencement of the Offer (determined as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) and Rule 14e-1(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), subject to possible extension pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Following the completion of the Offer and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Purchaser will merge with and into Soleno pursuant to Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), with Soleno surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Neurocrine (the “Merger”).

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each Share (other than any Shares (i) owned by Neurocrine, Purchaser or Soleno or by any of their respective subsidiaries (or held in Soleno’s treasury) and (ii) as to which the holder is entitled to appraisal rights under the DGCL and has properly exercised and perfected such holder’s demand for appraisal and, as of the Effective Time, has not effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s rights to such appraisal and payment under the DGCL), will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price, without interest and subject to any required withholding of taxes.

Effective immediately prior to the Effective Time, each option to purchase Shares (a “Soleno Option”) that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is not an Out of the Money Soleno Option (as defined below), whether or not then vested or exercisable, will fully vest and will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes, equal to (A) the total number of Shares subject to such Soleno Option immediately prior to such cancellation multiplied by (B) the excess, if any, of (x) the Offer Price over (y) the exercise price payable per Share underlying such Soleno Option. Each Soleno Option that has an exercise price per Share that is equal to or greater than the Offer Price (an “Out of the Money Soleno Option”) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, will be cancelled and no holder thereof will be entitled to any payment with respect to such Soleno Option before or after the Effective Time.

2

Effective immediately prior to the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit award with respect to Shares (a “Soleno RSU Award”) that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested, will fully vest and be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes, equal to (A) the number of Shares subject to such Soleno RSU Award immediately prior to such cancellation multiplied by (B) the Offer Price.

Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each warrant to purchase Shares (a “Soleno Warrant”) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior thereto, whether vested or unvested, will be treated as being simultaneously cashless exercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the applicable Soleno Warrant and subject to deduction for any applicable withholding taxes. Soleno is required to use reasonable best efforts to enter into a warrant termination agreement with each holder of a Soleno Warrant that is not exercised prior to the Effective Time.

As soon as practicable after the date of the Merger Agreement, Soleno’s board of directors will take all actions with respect to Soleno’s 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Soleno ESPP”) that are necessary to provide that (i) following the date of the Merger Agreement, no person may become a participant in the Soleno ESPP and no offering period shall commence under the Soleno ESPP and (ii) subject to the consummation of the Merger, the Soleno ESPP shall terminate effective immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Merger Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants of Soleno, Neurocrine and Purchaser.

Neurocrine, Purchaser and Soleno have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including agreeing to use reasonable best efforts to take all actions, file all documents, and cooperate in doing all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable antitrust laws to consummate and make effective the Offer and the Merger as promptly as practicable. Soleno has agreed to, and to cause its subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) conduct its operations in all material respects in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice (subject to certain exceptions), including not taking certain specified actions prior to the consummation of the Merger, and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) preserve intact its business organization, (b) keep available the services of its current officers and key employees, and (c) preserve its current significant business relationships.

Soleno has agreed to customary “no-shop” restrictions on its ability to solicit alternative acquisition proposals from third parties and to engage in discussions or negotiations with third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals, under which Soleno agreed that it will not, will cause its subsidiaries and its executive officers not to, and is obligated to use reasonable best efforts to cause its other representatives, not to, among other things, directly or indirectly: (i) initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate the submission of any inquiry, request, indication of interest, proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an alternative acquisition proposal; (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other person any non-public information with respect to or in connection with or for the purpose of soliciting, knowingly encouraging or knowingly facilitating, any inquiry, request, indication of interest, proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an alternative acquisition proposal; (iii) adopt, approve, recommend, submit to its stockholders or declare advisable any alternative acquisition proposal; (iv) enter into any letter of intent, acquisition agreement, agreement in principle or similar agreement with respect to any inquiry, request, indication of interest, proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an alternative acquisition proposal (other than an acceptable confidentiality agreement entered into in compliance with the Merger Agreement); (v) release or permit the release of any person from, or waive or permit the waiver of any provision of, or fail to use its reasonable best efforts to enforce or cause to be enforced, any standstill or similar agreement to which Soleno is a party, unless Soleno’s board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so is inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of Soleno’s board of directors to Soleno stockholders under applicable law; or (vi) take any action or exempt any person from the restriction on “business combinations” or any similar provision contained in applicable takeover laws or Soleno’s organizational or other governing documents or grant a waiver under Section 203 of the DGCL. In addition, Soleno has agreed to, and to cause its subsidiaries and their respective representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any person conducted prior to the date of the Merger Agreement with respect to any proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an alternative acquisition proposal.

Soleno’s board of directors is not permitted, among other things, to withhold, withdraw, modify or qualify, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw or modify, in any manner adverse to Neurocrine, its recommendation that Soleno stockholders accept the Offer and tender their Shares to Purchaser pursuant to the Offer. However, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including a match right for Neurocrine, Soleno and its board of directors, as applicable, are permitted to take certain actions, as more fully described in the Merger Agreement, which may include changing Soleno’s board of directors’ recommendation or terminating the Merger Agreement to enter into an alternative acquisition agreement in response to a bona fide written alternative acquisition proposal made after the date of the Merger Agreement that has not been withdrawn, if Soleno’s board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with Soleno’s independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such alternative acquisition proposal constitutes a superior proposal and that the failure to change Soleno’s board of directors’ recommendation or terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into such alternative acquisition agreement is inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law. In addition, Soleno’s board of directors is permitted to change its recommendation for certain intervening events not related to, among others, the receipt of an unsolicited proposal or any changes in market price of Soleno’s stock, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including a match right for Neurocrine, if Soleno’s board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with independent financial advisors and outside counsel, that the failure to take such action is inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to Soleno stockholders under applicable law.

The Merger Agreement also provides that, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including termination by Soleno under specified circumstances to accept a superior proposal and enter into an alternative acquisition agreement with respect to such superior proposal, Soleno will pay Neurocrine a termination fee of $95,250,000. In addition, the Merger Agreement provides that, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances where, at the time of termination, the condition relating to the expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act, or the condition relating to the absence of certain governmental restraints arising as a result of antitrust laws, has not been satisfied, Neurocrine will pay Soleno a reverse termination fee of $141,500,000.

The Merger Agreement has been approved by the board of directors of each of Neurocrine, Purchaser and Soleno. The board of directors of Soleno recommends that Soleno stockholders accept the Offer and tender their Shares to Purchaser pursuant to the Offer.

The foregoing description of the Offer, the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and which is incorporated herein by reference. The Merger Agreement has been filed to provide information to investors regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Neurocrine, Purchaser or Soleno, their respective businesses, or the actual conduct of their respective businesses during the period prior to the consummation of the Offer, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement and this summary should not be relied upon as disclosure about Neurocrine or Soleno. None of Soleno’s stockholders or any other third parties should rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of Neurocrine, Purchaser, Soleno or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties that are the product of negotiations among the parties thereto and that the parties made to, and solely for the benefit of, each other as of specified dates. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed to by the respective parties and are also qualified in important part by confidential disclosure schedules delivered in connection with the signing of the Merger Agreement. The representations and warranties (i) may have been made for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from what an investor may view as material and (ii) may have been made only as of the date of the Merger Agreement or as of another date or dates as may be specified in the Merger Agreement, and information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the public disclosures of Soleno or Neurocrine, if at all.

Under the terms of the Support Agreements, each Supporting Stockholder has agreed to, among other things, during the term of the Support Agreement, (i) validly tender, or cause to be tendered, all of the Shares that such Supporting Stockholder owns of record or beneficially, as well as any additional Shares it may acquire (the “Covered Shares”) free and clear of any encumbrances into the Offer, (ii) vote its Covered Shares in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and against any acquisition proposal or any action, proposal, agreement, transaction or arrangement that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to result in a breach of a covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation of Soleno under the Merger Agreement or any of the conditions to Soleno’s obligations under the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled or satisfied, (iii) not transfer any of its Covered Shares (subject to certain exceptions), (iv) not solicit or facilitate any efforts that would reasonably be expected to lead to an alternative acquisition proposal, and (v) waive and not to exercise any appraisal rights in respect of such Covered Shares that may arise with respect to the Merger and not to commence or participate in, any class action or legal action (A) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin or delay the operation of any provision of the Merger Agreement or (B) alleging breach of any duty by any person in connection with the negotiation and entry into the Support Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. The Support Agreements also include certain representations and warranties and covenants of the Supporting Stockholders to Neurocrine. The Support Agreements will terminate upon the earlier of termination of the Merger Agreement, the Effective Time and certain other specified events. As of April 5, 2026, the Supporting Stockholders held an aggregate of approximately 1.01% of the outstanding Shares.

Each Out of the Money Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be cancelled and no holder of an Out of the Money Option shall be entitled to any payment with respect to such Out of the Money Option before or after the Effective Time.

(b) Treatment of Company RSUs. Neither Purchaser nor Parent shall assume any Company RSU Award or substitute for any Company RSU Award any similar award of Purchaser or Parent stock, in connection with the Offer, Merger or any other Transactions. Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger automatically and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent or the holder thereof, each Company RSU Award that is outstanding immediately prior thereto, whether or not then vested, shall fully vest, and shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest and subject to deduction for any required Tax withholding as contemplated in Section 3.7) equal to the product of (1) the Offer Price and (2) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU Award immediately prior to such cancellation.

26

(c) Treatment of Company Warrants. Prior to the Effective Time, each Company Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior thereto, whether vested or unvested, shall be treated as being simultaneously cashless exercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the applicable Company Warrant and subject to deduction for any required withholding Tax as contemplated in Section 3.7. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver notices to the holders of such Company Warrants, informing such holders of the Transactions and containing such other information as the Company reasonably determines to be required pursuant to the terms of the applicable Company Warrants. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to enter into a warrant termination agreement (in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent) with the applicable holders of any of the Company Warrants that are not automatically exercised or terminated as of the Effective Time.

(d) Treatment of Company ESPP. As soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, the Company shall take all actions with respect to the Company ESPP that are necessary to provide that: (a) following the date hereof, no Person may become a participant in the Company ESPP and no offering period shall commence under the Company ESPP and (b) subject to the consummation of the Merger, the Company ESPP shall terminate effective immediately prior to the Effective Time.

3.6 Payment for Securities; Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Payment Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent or Purchaser shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the holders of Company Shares to receive the aggregate Offer Price which such holders shall become entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(b) and the aggregate Offer Price to which such holders shall become entitled pursuant to Section 3.4. The agreement pursuant to which Parent shall appoint the Paying Agent shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company. Substantially concurrent with the Effective Time, Parent or Purchaser shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent cash sufficient to make payment of the aggregate Offer Price payable pursuant to Section 2.1(b) and the aggregate Offer Price payable pursuant to Section 3.4 (together, the “Payment Fund”). In the event the Payment Fund shall be insufficient to pay the aggregate Offer Price payable pursuant to Section 2.1(b) and the aggregate Offer Price payable pursuant to Section 3.4, Parent shall, or shall cause Purchaser to, promptly deposit additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payment. Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to make, and the Paying Agent shall make, delivery of the Offer Price out of the Payment Fund in accordance with this Agreement. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as reasonably directed by Parent; provided, however, that any investment of such cash shall in all events be limited to direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government, in commercial paper rated P-1 or A-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available), and that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to Article II or this Article III. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to the Surviving Company on the earlier of (i) one (1) year after the Effective Time or (ii) the full payment of the aggregate Offer Price payable pursuant to Section 2.1(b) and the aggregate Offer Price payable pursuant to Section 3.4.

27

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but no later than fifteen (15) days after the Effective Time), Parent or Purchaser shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, through the Surviving Company’s or the applicable Subsidiary’s payroll the aggregate consideration payable hereunder with respect to Company Options, and Company RSU Awards (without interest and subject to deduction for any required Tax withholding as contemplated in Section 3.7) (e.g., with respect to payments made to a current or former Company employee); provided, however, that to the extent that Taxes are not required to be deducted and withheld by applicable Law (e.g., the holder of a Company Option is not, and was not at any time during the vesting period of the Company Option, an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for employment tax purposes), the consideration payable pursuant to Section 3.5 with respect to such Company Option, or Company RSU Award shall be deposited in the Payment Fund and paid by the Paying Agent in the manner described in this Section 3.6.

(c) Procedures for Surrender.

(i) Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, cause the Paying Agent to mail or otherwise provide to each holder of record (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) (i) a certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Certificates”) or (ii) uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock (“Book-Entry Shares”) that are not held, directly or indirectly, through the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”): (A) in the case of holders of Certificates, a letter of transmittal which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify and (B) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) and such Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof.

(ii) Upon surrender of a Certificate (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent or the Surviving Company, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holders of such Certificates will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to the provisions of this Article III in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificates (subject to deduction for any required withholding Tax as contemplated in Section 3.7), to be mailed (or made available for collection by hand if so elected by the surrendering holder) within five (5) Business Days following the later to occur of (x) the Effective Time and (y) the Paying Agent’s receipt of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof), and the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) shall be forthwith cancelled.

(iii) For Book-Entry Shares not held, directly or indirectly, through DTC, upon book-receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) in connection with the surrender of such Book-Entry Shares, the holders of such Book-Entry Shares will be entitled to the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to the provisions of this Article III in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Book-Entry Shares (subject to deduction for any required withholding Tax as contemplated in Section 3.7), and the transferred Book-Entry Shares so surrendered will be cancelled.

28

(iv) With respect to Book-Entry Shares held, directly or indirectly, through DTC, Parent and the Company shall cooperate to establish procedures with the Paying Agent, DTC, DTC’s nominees and such other necessary or desirable third-party intermediaries to ensure that the Paying Agent will transmit to DTC or its nominees as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (and in any event within one (1) Business Day), upon surrender of Company Shares held of record by DTC or its nominees in accordance with DTC’s customary surrender procedures and such other procedures as agreed by Parent, the Company, the Paying Agent, DTC, DTC’s nominees and such other necessary or desirable third-party intermediaries, the Merger Consideration to which the beneficial owners thereof are entitled to receive as a result of the Merger pursuant to this Article III.

(v) The Paying Agent will accept such Certificates and transferred Book-Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable and customary terms and conditions as the Paying Agent may impose to cause an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal and customary exchange practices. No interest will be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates and Book-Entry Shares on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of such Certificates and Book-Entry Shares pursuant to this Section 3.6(c). Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates and Book-Entry Shares will be deemed from and after the Effective Time to evidence only the right to receive the Merger Consideration without interest thereon, payable in respect thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no holder of Book-Entry Shares will be required to provide a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Paying Agent in order to receive the payment that such holder is entitled to receive in respect thereof.

(vi) If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of payment that (A) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and (B) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) that such Tax either has been paid or is not required to be paid. Payment of the applicable Merger Consideration (subject to deduction for any required withholding Tax as contemplated in Section 3.7) with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.6, each Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article III, without interest thereon.

(d) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Common Stock on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Common Stock except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Company for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

29

(e) Termination of Payment Fund; No Liability. At any time following the date that is twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, Parent shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) remaining in the Payment Fund that have not been disbursed, or for which disbursement is pending subject only to the Paying Agent’s routine administrative procedures, to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Company and Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the applicable Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their Certificates or Book-Entry Shares and compliance with the procedures in Section 3.6(c), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Company, Parent or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share for any Merger Consideration or other amounts delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(f) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the applicable Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof.

3.7 Withholding Rights. Parent and the Surviving Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause the Paying Agent or any other applicable withholding agent to deduct and withhold, from the Merger Consideration or any other payments made in connection with this Agreement any Tax amounts required to be withheld or deducted under applicable Law. All such amounts that are deducted or withheld by the applicable withholding agent shall be remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and remitted, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding were made.

3.8 Further Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is reasonably determined by Parent to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Company with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Purchaser and the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Company and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Purchaser, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action.

Each Subsidiary of the Company is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity authorized to do business in each of the jurisdictions in which the character of the properties owned or held under lease by it or the nature or conduct of the business transacted by it makes such qualification necessary, except for such failures to be so qualified and in good standing that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other Parties, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except that such enforceability (a) may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws affecting or relating to creditors’ rights generally, and (b) is subject to general principles of equity (collectively, the “Enforceability Exceptions”).

4.7 Reports; Financial Statements.

(a) Since January 1, 2023, the Company has filed or furnished all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required by applicable Law to be filed or furnished by it with the SEC (as amended or supplemented since the time of filing, the “Company SEC Reports”), all of which have complied as of their respective filing dates or, if amended, supplemented or superseded by a subsequent filing, as of the date of the last such amendment, supplement or superseding filing, in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. No executive officer of the Company has failed in any respect to make the certifications required of him or her under Sections 302 or 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act with respect to any Company SEC Report. As of their respective dates (or, to the extent that information contained in such Company SEC Report

34

has been amended or supplemented by a later filed Company SEC Report prior to the date of this Agreement, as of the date of such amendment or supplement) none of the Company SEC Reports contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that no representation is made as to the accuracy of any financial projections or forward-looking statements or the completeness of any information filed or furnished by the Company to the SEC solely for the purposes of complying with Regulation FD promulgated under the Exchange Act. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters received from the SEC staff with respect to the Company SEC Reports. To the Knowledge of the Company, (i) none of the Company SEC Reports is the subject of ongoing SEC review and (ii) there are no inquiries or investigations by the SEC or any internal investigations pending or threatened, in each case regarding any accounting practices of the Company and its Subsidiaries. No current or former executive officer of the Company has failed to make the certifications required of him or her under Rule 13a-14 or 15d-14 promulgated under the Exchange Act or Section 302 or 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act with respect to any Company SEC Report since January 1, 2023, and such certifications are accurate and complete, and comply in all material respects as to form and content with all applicable Laws.

(b) The audited and unaudited financial statements, including the related notes and schedules thereto, of the Company included (or incorporated by reference) in the Company SEC Reports (i) complied as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements and the applicable published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto in effect at the time of such filing, (ii) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (except as may be described in the notes to such financial statements or, in the case of unaudited interim financial statements, as may be permitted by the SEC on Form 10-Q or any successor form under the Exchange Act) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved and (iii) fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of their respective dates, and the stockholders’ equity, results of operations and changes in financial position or cash flows for the periods presented therein (subject, in the case of the unaudited financial statements, to the absence of footnotes and normal year-end audit adjustments). As of the date of this Agreement, the Company does not intend to correct or restate, and to the Knowledge of the Company, there is not any reasonable basis to correct or restate, any of the audited consolidated financial statements or unaudited interim financial statements (including, in each case, the notes, if any, thereto) of the Company filed in or furnished with the Company SEC Reports.

(c) The Company maintains, and at all times since January 1, 2023, has maintained, a system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act) which is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP, and includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Company Board; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention

35

or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Neither the Company, nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, the Company’s independent accountant, has identified or been made aware of (A) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of “internal control over financial reporting” that would be reasonably likely to adversely affect in any material way the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s “internal control over financial reporting.” The Company’s management has completed an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and, except as set forth in the Company SEC Reports filed prior to the date of this Agreement, that assessment concluded that those controls were effective.

Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent or Purchaser and the consummation of the Transactions do not and will not, (a) violate or conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of the respective formation or governing documents of any such entity, (b) require any Permit of, or filing with or notification to, any Governmental Authority, except (i) as required pursuant to the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and state securities Laws or “blue sky” Laws, (ii) as may be required under the HSR Act and any Foreign Antitrust Laws, (iii) the filing and recordation of appropriate merger documents as required by the DGCL, including the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or (iv) the applicable requirements of NASDAQ, (c) violate, conflict with or result in a breach of any provision of or require any notice or Consent or result in a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration or any event that, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or otherwise, would constitute a default or give rise to any such right) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any material Contract or material obligation to which any such entity or any of their respective Subsidiaries is a party or by which any such entity or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets may be bound, or (d) violate any Law or Order applicable to any such entity or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any of it or their respective assets are bound.

5.5 Litigation. As of the date hereof, there are no claims, Legal Proceedings, orders, judgments or decrees, or governmental or administrative investigations, reviews or actions pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened against or relating to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that would, or seek to, prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of Parent or Purchaser to consummate the Transactions.

5.10 Absence of Certain Arrangements. As of the date of this Agreement, other than this Agreement and the Tender Agreements, none of Parent, Purchaser nor any of their respective Affiliates is a party to any Contract, or has authorized, made or entered into or committed or agreed to enter into, any formal or informal arrangements or other understandings (whether or not binding) with any stockholder, director, officer, employee or other Affiliate of the Company (a) relating to (i) this Agreement or the Transactions or (ii) the Surviving Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its businesses or operations (including as to continuing employment) from and after the Effective Time or (b) pursuant to which any (i) such holder of Company Shares would be entitled to receive consideration of a different amount or nature than the Offer Price or the Merger Consideration in respect of such holder’s Company Shares, or (ii) such stockholder, director, officer, employee or other Affiliate of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has agreed to provide, directly or indirectly, equity investment to Parent, Purchaser or the Company to finance any portion of the Transactions.

5.12 No Other Representations or Warranties. Except for the express written representations and warranties made by Parent and Purchaser contained in this Article V, neither Parent nor Purchaser nor any Representative or other Person on behalf of any such entity makes any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to them or any of their Affiliates or any of its or their respective business, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations or with respect to any other information provided to the Company in connection with the Transactions, and the Company expressly disclaims reliance on any representation or warranty of the Parent, Purchaser or any other Person other than the representations and warranties expressly contained in this Article V.

6.2 Alternative Proposals; Change in Recommendation.

(a) The Company agrees that it will not, and will cause its Subsidiaries and the members of the Company Board and its executive officers not to, and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its other Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate the submission of any inquiry, request, indication of interest, proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Alternative Proposal; (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any non-public information with respect to or in connection with or for the purpose of soliciting, knowingly encouraging or knowingly facilitating, any inquiry, request, indication of interest, proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Alternative Proposal; (iii) adopt, approve, recommend, submit to stockholders or declare advisable any Alternative Proposal; (iv) enter into any letter of intent, acquisition agreement, agreement in principle or similar agreement with respect to any inquiry, request, indication of interest, proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Alternative Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into in compliance with this Section 6.2); (v) release or permit the release of any Person from, or waive or permit the waiver of any provision of, or fail to use its reasonable best efforts to enforce or cause to be enforced, any standstill or similar agreement to which the Company is a party, unless the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so is inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company Stockholders under applicable Law; (vi) take any action or exempt any Person (other than Parent and its Subsidiaries) from the restriction on “business combinations” or any similar provision contained in applicable Takeover Laws or the Company’s organizational or other governing documents or grant a waiver under Section 203 of the DGCL, if applicable, or (vii) resolve, publicly propose or agree to do any of the foregoing. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives to, (i) immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any person conducted prior to the date of this Agreement with respect to any proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Alternative Proposal and (ii) (A) within one (1) Business Day of the date of this Agreement, request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished or made available to such persons in connection therewith (and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such information returned or destroyed) and (B) immediately terminate all physical and electronic data room access previously granted to any such person or its Representatives. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to enforce the terms of each confidentiality agreement with any such person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.2, if at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, (x) the Company Board receives a bona fide written Alternative Proposal

64

made after the date hereof, (y) the Company Board (or a committee thereof), after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, determines in good faith that such Alternative Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to or result in a Superior Proposal and that failure to take actions described in clauses “(1)” or “(2)” of this Section 6.2(a) is inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company Stockholders under applicable Law and (z) such Alternative Proposal was not solicited after the date of this Agreement in material violation of this Section 6.2(a), then the Company and its Representatives may (1) furnish information, including confidential information, with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Alternative Proposal pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement on terms that, taken as a whole, are not materially more favorable to such Person than the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement are to Parent (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement need not contain a standstill provision or otherwise prohibit the making, or amendment, of an Alternative Proposal) and that does not prohibit the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with or otherwise complying with the Company’s obligations under this Agreement (an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”); provided that an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement” shall not include any confidentiality agreement that grants any exclusive right to negotiate with such counterparty; and (2) participate in discussions or negotiations regarding such Alternative Proposal with the Person or group of Persons making such Alternative Proposal; provided, however, that the Company shall first notify Parent in advance that it intends to take the actions described in preceding clauses (1) or (2). The Company will not, and will cause its Subsidiaries and the members of the Company Board and its executive officers not to, and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its other Representatives not to, disclose any non-public information to such Person unless the Company has, or first enters into, an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement. The Company shall provide Parent with an accurate and complete copy of any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) of the execution thereof. In addition, prior to or substantially concurrently with providing or making available to such Person any non-public information about the Company and its Subsidiaries that was not previously provided or made available to Parent, the Company will provide such non-public information to Parent.

(b) In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 6.2, the Company will promptly (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours after receipt) advise Parent in writing of any Alternative Proposal or any inquiries, requests, indication of interests, proposals or offers that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Alternative Proposal (including any request for non-public information related to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case in circumstances where it is reasonably apparent that such request could reasonably be expected to lead to the making of an Alternative Proposal). Such notification shall include the material terms and conditions of any such Alternative Proposal or such inquiry, proposal, offer or request, including the identity of the Person making any such Alternative Proposal or such inquiry, proposal, offer or request, and a copy of any written materials received from such Person or such Person’s Representatives or provided by the Company or its Representatives to such Person or such Person’s Representatives related thereto (as well as written summaries of any material oral communications relating to the terms and conditions of any Alternative Proposal). The Company will keep Parent reasonably informed of material developments, discussions or negotiations (including with respect to any amendments or proposed amendments to any material terms or conditions) with respect to any such Alternative Proposal

65

and promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours after receipt) provide Parent a copy of any written materials received from such Person or such Person’s Representatives or provided by the Company or its Representatives to such Person or such Person’s Representatives related thereto (as well as written summaries of any material oral communications relating to the terms and conditions of any Alternative Proposal). The Company agrees that it will not provide information that could reasonably be expected to lead to the making of an Alternative Proposal to any Person pursuant to any confidentiality agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement unless such Person agrees prior to receipt of such information to waive any provision that would prohibit the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with this Section 6.2 or would otherwise prohibit the Company from complying with its obligations under this Section 6.2.

(c) The Company hereby consents to the Offer and represents that the Company Board, at a meeting duly called and held, has made the Company Board Recommendation. Subject to Section 6.2(d) or as provided by this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the inclusion of a description of the Company Board Recommendation in the Offer Documents. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.2, the Company Board will not: (i) (A) withhold, withdraw, modify or qualify, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, modify or qualify, in any manner adverse to Parent the Company Board Recommendation, (B) publicly approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, any Alternative Proposal, (C) make any public recommendation or public statement in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer other than a recommendation against such offer, (D) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Schedule 14D-9, (E) fail to publicly reaffirm its recommendation of this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days after Parent so requests in writing, or, if earlier, two (2) Business Days prior to the Expiration Date or (F) in the case of a tender offer or exchange offer subject to Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act (other than by Parent and its Affiliates), fail to recommend, in a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9, the rejection of such tender offer or exchange offer within ten (10) Business Days of the commencement of such tender offer or exchange offer, or, if earlier, two (2) Business Days prior to the Expiration Date of such tender offer or exchange offer (any action described in this Section 6.2(c)(i), being referred to as a “Change in Recommendation”); or (ii) approve, adopt or recommend, or publicly propose to approve, adopt or recommend, or allow the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement, or other similar contract or any tender or exchange offer providing for, with respect to, in connection with, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to any Alternative Proposal or requiring, or that would reasonably expected to cause, the Company to abandon, terminate, materially delay or fail to consummate, or that would otherwise be reasonably likely to materially impede, interfere with or be inconsistent with, the Transactions (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”). For the avoidance of doubt, a public statement that solely confirms the Company’s receipt of an Alternative Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto shall not be deemed a Change in Recommendation.

(d) At any time prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, the Company Board may (x) in response to a bona fide written Alternative Proposal that has not been withdrawn and that was not solicited after the date of this Agreement in material violation of Section 6.2(a) or the occurrence of an Intervening Event, make a Change in Recommendation or (y) in response to a bona fide written Alternative Proposal that has not been withdrawn, terminate this Agreement under Section 9.1(i) and enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Alternative Proposal; provided that: (1) in the case of such a bona fide written Alternative Proposal, (A) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Alternative Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; (B) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under applicable Law; (C) the Company shall have given Parent a written notice therefor (a “Change in Recommendation Notice”) at least four (4) Business Days prior to effecting a Change in Recommendation or terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(i) of its intent to take such action and specifying the reason therefor; (D) prior to effecting such Change in Recommendation or terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(i), the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate in good faith with Parent (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) during such four (4) Business Day period to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Alternative Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal; and (E) no earlier than the end of such four (4) Business Day period, the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel), after considering any amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement proposed by Parent in a binding, written, irrevocable offer during such four (4) Business Day period, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under applicable Law (and that such Alternative Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal); and (2) in the case of an Intervening Event, (A) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company Stockholders under applicable Law, (B) the Company has provided a Change in Recommendation Notice to Parent prior to effecting a Change in Recommendation of its intent to take such action and specifying the reason at least four (4) Business Days prior to making any such Change in Recommendation; and (C) (i) the Company shall have specified the Intervening Event in reasonable detail, (ii) the Company shall have given Parent the four (4) Business Days after the Change in Recommendation Notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or make other proposals so that such Intervening Event would no longer necessitate a Change in Recommendation, and shall have made its Representatives reasonably available to negotiate in good faith with Parent (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposal, if any, and (iii) after considering any amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement proposed by Parent in a binding, written, irrevocable offer, if any, during such four (4) Business Day period, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the Company Board shall have determined, in good faith, that the failure to make the Change in Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event is inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company Stockholders under applicable Law. Following delivery of a Change in Recommendation Notice, (i) in the case of a Superior Proposal, in the event of any material change to the financial terms (including any change to the amount or form of consideration payable) or other material revision to the material terms or conditions of such Alternative Proposal or (ii) in the case of an Intervening Event, in the event such Intervening Event changes in any material respect, the Company shall provide a new Change in Recommendation Notice to Parent, and any Change in Recommendation or termination of this

67

Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(i) following delivery of such new Change in Recommendation Notice shall again be subject to clauses (C) through (E) of the immediately preceding sentence for a period of two (2) Business Days. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of (A) the determination in itself by the Company Board (or a committee thereof) that an Alternative Proposal would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal; (B) the delivery, in itself, by the Company of a Change in Recommendation Notice or any other deliverables contemplated by this Section 6.2; or (C) the public disclosure, in itself, of the items in clauses (A) and (B) will constitute a Change in Recommendation or violate this Section 6.2.

(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement will prevent the Company or the Company Board (or a committee thereof) from taking and disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9, Rule 14e-2(a) or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A, in each case promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to the Company Stockholders) or from making any legally required disclosure to Company Stockholders (it being agreed that this sentence shall not be deemed to permit the Company Board to make a Change in Recommendation). Any “stop-look-and-listen” communication by the Company or the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to the Company Stockholders) will not be considered a failure to make, or a withdrawal, modification or change in any manner adverse to Parent of, all or a portion of the Company Board Recommendation.

(f) The Company agrees that in the event that the Company or any Representative of the Company takes any action which, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 6.2, the Company shall be deemed to be in breach of this Section 6.2.

Parent will pay any HSR Act filing fee. In the event that the Company or Parent receives a request for information or documentary material pursuant to the HSR Act (a “Second Request”), each shall, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts (and shall cooperate with each other) to submit an appropriate response to such Second Request as promptly as reasonably practicable, and to make available their respective Representatives to, on reasonable request, any Governmental Authority in connection with (i) the preparation of any Filing made by or on their behalf to any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) any Governmental Authority investigation, review or approval process.

69

States Department of Justice or any other Governmental Authority; provided, that neither Parent nor Company, nor any of their Subsidiaries, shall enter into any agreement with the United States Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice or any other Governmental Authority not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) Subject to applicable Laws relating to the sharing of information and the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement, each of the Company and Parent shall, and each shall cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate and consult with each other in connection with the making of all Filings pursuant to this Section 7.1, and shall keep each other apprised on a current basis of the status of matters relating to the completion of the Offer and the Merger, including: (i) (A) as far in advance as practicable, notifying the other party of, and providing the other party with a reasonable opportunity to consult with respect to, any Filing or communication or inquiry it or any of its Affiliates intends to make with any Governmental Authority other than a Taxing Authority (or any communication or inquiry it or any of its Affiliates intends to make with any third party in connection therewith) relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement, (B) providing the other Party and its counsel, prior to submitting any such Filing or making any such communication or inquiry, a reasonable opportunity to review, and considering in good faith the comments of the other Party and such other Party’s Representatives in connection with any such Filing, communication or inquiry, and (C) promptly following the submission of such Filing or making of such communication or inquiry, providing the other party with a copy of any such Filing, communication or inquiry, if in written form, or, if in oral form, a summary of such communication or inquiry; (ii) as promptly as practicable following receipt, furnishing the other party with a copy of any Filing or written communication or inquiry, or, if in oral form, a summary of any such communication or inquiry, it or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Authority other than a Taxing Authority or the SEC (or, in each case, any communication or inquiry it receives from any third party in connection therewith) relating to matters that are the subject of this Agreement; and (iii) coordinating and reasonably cooperating with the other party in exchanging such information and providing such other assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with this Section 7.1.

The Company and Parent may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Agreement as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel and, subject to any additional confidentiality or joint defense agreement the Parties may mutually propose and enter into, to employees, officers or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (the Company or the Parent, as the case may be) or its legal counsel.

70

(d) Parent (including its Subsidiaries) shall not agree to or consummate any acquisition of any assets or businesses, whether by merger, consolidation or purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in any Person, if the entering into an agreement relating to, or the consummation of, such acquisition, merger, consolidation or purchase would, in the good faith judgment of Parent, reasonably be expected to: (i) impose any material delay in the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period pursuant to the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws in respect of the Transactions; (ii) materially increase the risk of not obtaining any approvals and expiration of waiting periods pursuant to the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws in respect of the Transactions; or (iii) impede the occurrence of the Closing and/or the consummation of the Transactions.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary but except as provided herein below, nothing in this Agreement shall require Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to propose, negotiate, offer or effect any sale, divestiture, license or other disposition of any assets, rights or businesses of Parent or the Company or their respective Subsidiaries or otherwise commit to take any action that may limit Parent’s freedom of action with respect to any assets, rights or businesses of either Parent or the Company or their respective Subsidiaries. In no event shall the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) propose, negotiate, offer or agree to any such actions without the prior written consent of Parent; provided, that the Company shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary of the Company to, undertake such actions if requested by Parent if the effectiveness of such action is conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing.

7.2 Public Statements and Disclosure. The initial press release relating to this Agreement shall be a joint press release issued by the Company and Parent. So long as this Agreement is in effect, Parent and Purchaser on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall not, and shall cause their respective controlled Affiliates not to, issue any other press release or make any public statement with respect to the Transactions or this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except (a) as may be required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any applicable United States securities exchange or regulatory or Governmental Authority to which the relevant Party is subject, in which case, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and practicable under the circumstances, the Party proposing to issue such press release or make such public announcement shall consult in good faith with the other Party before making any such public announcement, (b) with respect to any press release, filing, disclosure or other public statement made pursuant to Section 6.2 (including the Company’s announcement of any Change in Recommendation in accordance with Section 6.2) or with respect to any Alternative Proposal or Change in Recommendation; provided that, nothing in this Section 7.2 limits or otherwise modifies the Company’s obligations under Section 6.2, (c) statements consistent in all material respects with any release, filing disclosure or other public statements previously made in accordance with this Section 7.2, or (d) public statements regarding the Transactions in response to questions from the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences, and internal announcements to employees, in each case, to the extent that such statements are consistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by the Parties or approved by the Parties, and otherwise in compliance with this Section 7.2, and provided that such public statements do not reveal material nonpublic information regarding this Agreement or the Transactions.

71

7.3 Anti-Takeover Laws. If any state Takeover Law or state Law that purports to limit or restrict business combinations or the ability to acquire or vote Company Shares (including any “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “moratorium,” “business combination” or other similar Takeover Law) becomes or is deemed to be applicable to this Agreement or Transactions, then Parent, Purchaser and the Company shall cooperate and take all action reasonably available to render such Law inapplicable to the foregoing so that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms and conditions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall be interpreted to require the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to take any action that would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law or following a Change in Recommendation. None of Parent, Purchaser or the Company will take any action that would cause this Agreement or the Transactions to be subject to the requirements imposed by any such takeover or similar Laws; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall be interpreted to require the Company or the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to refrain from taking any action that would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Law or any other action following a Change in Recommendation.

7.4 Access. During the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX and the Effective Time, the Company shall afford Parent and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance written notice, to the books, records, Tax Returns, work papers, other documents and personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries in each case to the extent reasonably requested by Parent and its Representatives; provided, however, that the Company may restrict or otherwise prohibit access to any documents or information to the extent that (a) any applicable Law requires the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to restrict or otherwise prohibit access to such documents or information, (b) granting such access would violate any obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to confidentiality to any third party or otherwise breach, contravene or violate, constitute a default under, or give a third party the right to terminate or accelerate an obligation under, any then effective Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, (c) access to such documents or information would reasonably be expected to result in a waiver of any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege applicable to such documents or information or (d) such documents or information relate to the evaluation or negotiation of this Agreement, the Transactions or, subject to Section 6.2, an Alternative Proposal or Superior Proposal. In the event that the Company does not provide access or information in reliance on clauses (a), (b) or (c) of the preceding sentence, it shall use its reasonable best efforts to communicate or provide access to the applicable information to Parent in a way that would not violate any applicable Law, Contract or obligation or waive such a privilege. Any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 7.4 shall be conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries or create a risk of damage or destruction to any property or assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries, shall be subject to the Company’s reasonable security measures and insurance requirements, and shall not include the right to perform invasive testing without the Company’s prior written consent, in its sole discretion. The terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to any information obtained by Parent or any of its Representatives in connection with any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 7.4. Any access to any Company properties or facilities shall be subject to the Company’s reasonable security measures and the applicable requirements of the Company’s leases, subleases and license agreements and shall not include the right to perform any “invasive” testing or soil, air or groundwater sampling, including, any Phase I or Phase II environmental assessments. Nothing in this Section 7.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed to require the Company or any Representatives of any of the foregoing to prepare any reports, analyses, appraisals, opinions or other information.

72

7.5 Section 16(b) Exemption. The Company and the Company Board shall take all actions reasonably necessary to cause the dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including “derivative securities” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(c) under the Exchange Act)) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by any director or executive officer of the Company who is a covered Person of the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

7.6 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Parent, the Surviving Company and the Surviving Company’s Subsidiaries shall (and, Parent shall cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to) honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under (i) any indemnification agreements substantially in the form of the indemnification agreement publicly filed by the Company and available on EDGAR prior to the date hereof between (A) the Company and its Subsidiaries and any of their current or former directors and officers and any person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time and (B) the Company and its Subsidiaries and any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise or other Person serving or who served as a director, officer, member, manager, partner, trustee or other fiduciary of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, prior to the Effective Time (the “Indemnified Persons”), and (ii) indemnification, expense advancement and exculpation provisions in the Company Charter or bylaws of the Company and in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or equivalent governing documents) of any Subsidiary of the Company, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), as in effect on the date of this Agreement and with respect to the Indemnified Persons’ acts and omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time. In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to) cause the formation and governing documents of the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to elimination of liability of directors, indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses that are no less favorable to the Indemnified Persons than the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions contained in the organizational and governing documents of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof, and during such six (6) year period, such provisions shall not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified (whether by merger, consolidation, division, conversion, domestication, transfer, continuance, share exchange, operation of law or otherwise) in any manner adverse to the Indemnified Persons except as provided below.

(b) From and after the Effective Time until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent and the Surviving Company (together with their successors and assigns, the “Indemnifying Parties”) shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Laws and the Company Charter or bylaws, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Person in his or her capacity as an officer or director of the Company against all losses, claims, damages,

73

liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise), fees, expenses, judgments or fines incurred by such Indemnified Person as an officer or director of the Company in connection with any pending or threatened Legal Proceeding based on or arising out of, in whole or in part, the fact that such Indemnified Person is or was a director or officer of the Company at or prior to the Effective Time and pertaining to any and all matters pending, existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, including any such matter arising under any claim based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to this Agreement or the Transactions. Without limiting the foregoing, from the Effective Time until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Indemnifying Parties shall also, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Laws and the certificate of incorporation of the Company (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement), advance reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnified Persons in connection with matters for which such Indemnified Persons are eligible to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 7.6(b), subject to the execution by such Indemnified Persons of appropriate undertakings in favor of the Indemnifying Parties to repay such advanced costs and expenses if it is ultimately determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 7.6(b).

(c) During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, maintain in effect for the benefit of the directors and officers of the Company, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Effective Time, an insurance and indemnification policy that provides coverage for events occurring prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Insurance”) that is substantially equivalent to and in any event providing coverage, terms, conditions, retentions, limits of liability, deductibles and amounts not less favorable to the insured Persons than the policies of the Company in effect as of the date of this Agreement; provided that the Surviving Company shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement, but in such case shall purchase coverage as favorable to the insured Persons as is available for such amount as long as such substitution does not result in gaps or lapses of coverage with respect to matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied if prepaid policies have been obtained by the Company prior to the Effective Time. The Surviving Company shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to) maintain the D&O Insurance “tail” policy in full force and effect and continue to honor their respective obligations thereunder, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Effective Time.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Indemnified Person notifies the Surviving Company on or prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time that a claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before, at or after the Effective Time) has been made, brought or threatened against such Indemnified Person, the provisions of this Section 7.6 shall continue in effect until the final, non-appealable disposition of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation.

74

(e) In the event that Parent or the Surviving Company (or any of their respective successors or assigns) (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or engages in any division transaction, or (ii) transfers, conveys or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person or effects any division transaction, then, in each such case, Parent shall make proper provision so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 7.6.

(f) This Section 7.6 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and is intended to benefit, and from and after the Effective Time shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Persons and their respective successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives, and shall not be amended, terminated, altered, repealed or modified from and after the Effective Time in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Person without the written consent of such affected Indemnified Person. The rights provided under this Section 7.6 shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which any Indemnified Person is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise, and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any such other rights.

7.7 Employee Matters.

(a) For a period of at least one (1) year following the Closing, Parent shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to Continuing Employees, while in the continuing employ of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries for such one (1) year period: (i) an annual base salary or hourly wage rate (as applicable) that is substantially comparable to the annual base salary or wage rate (as applicable) provided to the Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) health and welfare benefits (but excluding equity or equity-based incentive opportunities, severance, retention, change in control, deferred compensation, post-employment welfare, and defined benefit pension benefits (collectively, the “Excluded Benefits”)) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries.

(b) For purposes of eligibility to participate under the employee benefit plans of Parent (other than the Excluded Benefits), the Surviving Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries (each, a “New Plan”), Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each Continuing Employee to be credited, to the extent applicable, with his or her years of service with the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective predecessors before the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits. In addition and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted under the applicable New Plan, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause (i) each Continuing Employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in each applicable New Plan to the extent that coverage under such New Plan is comparable to a Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”). For purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee, Parent shall (or shall cause the Surviving Company to) use reasonable best efforts to cause all eligibility waiting periods, pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such employee and his or

75

her covered dependents, unless such conditions would not have been waived under the comparable Old Plans, and Parent shall (or shall cause the Surviving Company to) use reasonable best efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by such employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plans ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan to the extent permitted under the applicable New Plan.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any Continuing Employee or other Person any right to continue in the employ or service of the Parent, the Company, the Surviving Company or their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 7.7, no provision of this Agreement: (i) shall limit the ability of the Parent, the Company, the Surviving Company or their respective Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate in accordance with its terms any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, contract, policy or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.1), (ii) shall be deemed or construed to amend, establish, or modify any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, contract, policy or arrangement or (iii) create any third party beneficiary rights or obligations in any person (including any current or former service provider or employee of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof)) or any right to employment or continued employment or to a particular term or condition of employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including, following the Effective Time, the Surviving Company and any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates).

7.8 Termination of 401(k) Plan. Effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, the Company Board shall adopt resolutions to terminate each and every Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (each, a “401(k) Plan”), unless Parent provides written notice to the Company that such 401(k) Plans shall not be terminated. Unless Parent provides such written notice to the Company, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence, no later than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, that each 401(k) Plan has been terminated pursuant to resolutions of the Company Board. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to review and reasonable approval of Parent. The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating each 401(k) Plan, as Parent may reasonably require.

7.9 Delisting. Each of the Parties agrees to reasonably cooperate with the other Parties in taking, or causing to be taken, all actions reasonable, necessary, proper or advisable to enable the delisting of the Company Shares from NASDAQ and termination of the registration of the Company Shares under NASDAQ as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event no more than ten (10) days after the Closing Date.

7.10 Certain Litigation. The Company shall provide Parent with prompt notice of, and copies of all pleadings and material correspondence relating to, the Specified Litigation and any actual or threatened Legal Proceeding against the Company or any of its directors or officers by any holder of shares of Company Common Stock arising out of or relating to this Agreement or

78

(c) by the Company at any time prior to the Offer Acceptance Time if (i) any of the representations and warranties of Parent or Purchaser contained in this Agreement fail to be true and correct or (ii) Parent or Purchaser shall have breached or failed to comply in any material respect with any of its covenants or agreements under this Agreement that Parent or Purchaser is required to comply with or perform at or prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, and such failure or breach with respect to any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect and (A) cannot be cured by Parent or Purchaser, as applicable, by the Outside Date or (B) if curable, shall continue to be unremedied as of three (3) Business Days prior to the Outside Date or, if earlier, by the thirtieth (30^th) day following delivery of notice to Parent regarding such failure or breach; provided, however, that the Company shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) at any time during which the Company is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder;

79

(g) by Parent or the Company if the Offer (as may be extended in accordance with this Agreement) shall have expired as a result of the non-satisfaction of one or more Offer Conditions without Purchaser having accepted for payment any Company Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer; provided, however, that a Party shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(g) if such failure of the acceptance for payment of Company Shares or non-satisfaction of any such Offer Conditions is attributable to a failure on the part of such Party to perform in any material respect any covenant or agreement in this Agreement required to be performed by such Party at or prior to the Offer Acceptance Time and such Party has not cured such failure within ten (10) days after having received notice thereof from the other Party;

9.3 Effect of Termination. In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated as provided in Section 9.1, then each of the Parties will be relieved of its duties and obligations arising under this Agreement after the date of such termination and such termination will be without liability to any Party; provided that the agreements and obligations of the Parties set forth in this Section 9.3 and in Section 7.2, Section 9.4 and Article X hereof will survive and remain fully enforceable. In addition, nothing in this Section 9.3 relieves any Party of any liability for common law fraud or any Willful Breach of any covenant or agreement contained herein occurring prior to termination, or as provided in the Confidentiality Agreement. In the event of common law fraud or a Willful Breach, the aggrieved Party shall be entitled to seek all rights and remedies available at law or in equity (including, in the case of the Company, recovery for damages based on the consideration that would have otherwise been payable in connection with the Offer and the Merger).

9.4 Fees and Expenses.

(a) In the event that (i) this Agreement is terminated by (A) the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 9.1(e) or Section 9.1(g) and, in either case, (x) the Minimum Condition has not been satisfied as of such termination, (y) the conditions to the Offer in clauses “(v)” and “(vi)” of Annex I are satisfied at the time of such termination and (z) in the case of termination by the Company, the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(e) is available to

80

Parent, or (B) by Parent pursuant to Section 9.1(d) (solely if the relevant breach giving rise to a right of termination under Section 9.1(d) constitutes a Willful Breach), (ii) following the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to such termination of this Agreement, a bona fide Alternative Proposal is publicly proposed or publicly disclosed (whether or not conditional) or made known to the Company Board prior to, and not publicly and unconditionally withdrawn at the time of, the Expiration Date or the termination of this Agreement and (iii) the Company consummates an Alternative Proposal within twelve (12) months after the date this Agreement is terminated or enters into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement within twelve (12) months after the date this Agreement is terminated and the applicable Alternative Proposal is subsequently consummated, whether before or after the expiration of such twelve (12)-month period, then the Company will pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent or its designee an amount equal to $95,250,000 (the “Termination Fee”) concurrently with the consummation of such Alternative Proposal. For purposes of this Section 9.4(a), the term “Alternative Proposal” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 1.1, except that the references to “20% or more” are deemed to be references to “more than 50%.”

(b) In the event this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 9.1(h), then the Company will pay to Parent, within two (2) Business Days after the date of termination, the Termination Fee.

(c) In the event this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(i), then the Company will pay to Parent, immediately prior to or simultaneously with such termination, the Termination Fee.

(d) In the event this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(e) and, as of the time of termination, all of the conditions to the Offer in Annex I are satisfied (other than the Minimum Condition and such other Offer Conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied or waived as of the Offer Acceptance Time) except that (i) the condition to the Offer in clause “(v)” of Annex I is not satisfied at the time of such termination or (ii) the condition to the Offer in clause “(vi)” of Annex I (but only if the restraint, prohibition or illegality arises as a result of Antitrust Laws) is not satisfied at the time of such termination, then, in either case, Parent will pay, or cause to be paid, to the Company or its designee an amount equal to $141,500,000 (the “Reverse Termination Fee”) within two (2) Business Days after the date of termination.

(e) Any payment of the Termination Fee or the Reverse Termination Fee will be made in cash by wire transfer of same day funds to an account designated in writing by the recipient of such payment.

(f) Each Party will pay its own expenses incident to preparing for, entering into and carrying out this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions; provided that Parent will pay 100% of the fees payable in connection with the filings required to be made under the HSR Act and any other Antitrust Law.

81

(g) The Company acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 9.4 are an integral part of the Transactions and that, without these agreements, neither Parent nor the Company would enter into this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge and hereby agree that in no event shall Parent or the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee or the Reverse Termination Fee, as applicable, on more than one (1) occasion, whether or not the Termination Fee or the Reverse Termination Fee, as applicable, may be payable under more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times and the occurrence of different events. The Parties acknowledge that the agreement to pay the Termination Fee or the Reverse Termination Fee, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 9.4 is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty, and that, without these agreements to pay the Termination Fee or the Reverse Termination Fee, as applicable, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement.

(h) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event this Agreement is validly terminated under the circumstances in which the Termination Fee is paid: (i) the payment by the Company of the Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 9.4 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Purchaser each and each of their respective Affiliates, each of the direct and indirect stockholders, partners, managers or other equity or security holders of Parent and Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates and any Representative of any of the foregoing (each, a “Parent Related Party” and, collectively, the “Parent Related Parties”), (ii) (A) none of Parent, Purchaser, any other Parent Related Party or any other Person shall, and none of Parent, Purchaser, any other Parent Related Party or any other Person shall be entitled to bring, and Parent and Purchaser hereby irrevocably covenant not to bring, threaten, commence, maintain or seek (and further covenant to cause each other Parent Related Party not to bring, threaten, commence, maintain or seek) any recovery in connection with and (B) none of the Company, any Affiliates thereof, any direct or indirect stockholder, partner, manager or other equity or security holder of the Company or any Affiliate thereof or any Representative of any of the foregoing (each, a “Company Related Party” and, collectively, the “Company Related Parties”) shall have any liability for or with respect to, in the case of each of clauses (A) and (B), any action, suit, claim, proceeding, investigation, arbitration or inquiry or other Legal Proceeding against the Company or any other Company Related Party arising out of this Agreement, any of the Transactions, any breach of any agreement or covenant or any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement, any matters forming the basis for such termination or any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Merger or any other Transactions to be consummated; provided, however, that payment of the Termination Fee, will not be liquidated damages in the case of common law fraud or a Willful Breach of this Agreement by the Company. If the Company fails to timely pay the Termination Fee, when due pursuant to this Section 9.4, and, in order to obtain the payment, Parent commences a Legal Proceeding which results in a judgment against the Company for the payment of the Termination Fee, the Company shall pay Parent its reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) incurred in prosecuting such Legal Proceeding, together with interest on such amount at the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received.

(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event this Agreement is validly terminated under the circumstances in which the Reverse Termination Fee is paid: (i) the payment by Parent of the Reverse Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 9.4 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company Related Parties, (ii) (A) no Company Related Party or any other Person shall, and no Company Related Party or any other Person shall be entitled to bring, and the Company hereby irrevocably covenants not to bring, threaten,

82

commence, maintain or seek (and further covenants to cause each other Company Related Party not to bring, threaten, commence, maintain or seek) any recovery in connection with and (B) none of the Parent Related Parties shall have any liability for or with respect to, in the case of each of clauses “(A)” and “(B)”, any action, suit, claim, proceeding, investigation, arbitration or inquiry or other Legal Proceeding against the Parent Related Party arising out of this Agreement, any of the Transactions, any breach of any agreement or covenant or any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement, any matters forming the basis for such termination or any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Merger or any other Transactions to be consummated; provided, however, that payment of the Reverse Termination Fee will not be liquidated damages in the case of common law fraud or a Willful Breach of this Agreement by Parent or Purchaser. If Parent fails to timely pay the Reverse Termination Fee when due pursuant to this Section 9.4, and, in order to obtain the payment, the Company commences a Legal Proceeding which results in a judgment against Parent for the payment of the Reverse Termination Fee, Parent shall pay the Company its reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) incurred in prosecuting such Legal Proceeding, together with interest on such amount at the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received.

Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment in violation of this Agreement will be void ab initio.

10.4 Confidentiality. Parent, Purchaser and the Company hereby acknowledge that Parent and the Company have previously executed a Confidentiality Agreement dated as of September 8, 2025 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which will continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

Any delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right. The conditions to each of the parties’ obligations to consummate the Merger are for the sole benefit of such Party and may be waived by such Party in whole or in part to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

10.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any schedules, annexes and exhibits hereto), the documents and instruments and other agreements among the Parties as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Company Disclosure Letter and the Annexes hereto, and the Tender Agreements constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be superseded, shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of (a) the Effective Time and (b) the date on which the Confidentiality Agreement expires in accordance with its terms or is validly terminated by the parties thereto. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, EACH PARTY AGREES THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PARTIES CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARENT, PURCHASER OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES, ON THE ONE HAND, NOR THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES, ON THE OTHER HAND, MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES TO THE OTHER OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON, AND EACH PARTY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE), OR AS TO THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY OTHER INFORMATION, MADE (OR MADE AVAILABLE BY) BY ITSELF OR ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES, WITH RESPECT TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, NOTWITHSTANDING THE DELIVERY OR DISCLOSURE TO THE OTHER OR THE OTHER’S REPRESENTATIVES OF ANY DOCUMENTATION OR OTHER INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE FOREGOING.

10.8 Third Party Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, except (a) as set forth in or contemplated by the terms and provisions of Section 7.6, (b) the rights of the Company

85

Stockholders to seek all rights and remedies available at law or in equity (including, in the case of the Company, recovery for damages based on the consideration that would have otherwise been payable in connection with the Offer and the Merger), (c) from and after the Effective Time, the rights of the Company Stockholders and the other holders of Company Securities to receive the Merger Consideration, as provided in Article III and (d) the Company Related Parties’ limitations on liability (and other protections arising from the covenants not to sue and related provisions) set forth in Section 9.4.

10.9 Severability. In the event that any term or other provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Merger is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Merger be effected as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

10.10 Remedies.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

(b) The Parties hereby agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and hereby agree that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and/or Purchaser, on the other hand, of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall be entitled (without proof of actual damages or otherwise or posting or securing any bond or other security), in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled to under law or equity, to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, by the other (as applicable), and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the other under this Agreement. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Purchaser, on the other hand, hereby agree not to raise any objections to the availability

86

of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by such Party (or Parties), and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of such Party (or Parties) under this Agreement. Any Party’s pursuit of any injunction or specific performance at any time will not be deemed an election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other right or remedy to which such Party may be entitled, including the right to pursue remedies for liabilities or damages incurred or suffered by a Party in the case of a breach of this Agreement involving Willful Breach or common law fraud; provided, however, that in no event shall Parent or Purchaser be entitled to both the payment of the Termination Fee, on the one hand, and either specific performance or any other monetary or other remedies, on the other hand.

10.11 Governing Law. This Agreement, including any claims, disputes, controversies or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or statute) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance thereof or the Transactions, shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

10.12 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto (a) irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any action or proceeding relating to the Transactions, for and on behalf of itself or any of its properties or assets, in accordance with Section 10.2 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Law, and nothing in this Section 10.12 shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law; (b) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits itself and its properties and assets in any action or proceeding to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the state or federal courts in the State of Delaware) in the event any dispute or controversy arises out of this Agreement or the Transactions, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof; (c) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (d) agrees that any actions or proceedings arising in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions shall be brought, tried and determined only in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the state or federal courts in the State of Delaware); (e) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; and (f) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the Transactions in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding in such courts as provided above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law.

10.13 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF PARENT, PURCHASER AND THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING

SOLENO THERAPEUTICS, INC.

FIRST. The name of this corporation is Soleno Therapeutics, Inc.

SECOND. The registered office of the corporation in the State of Delaware is 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, County of New Castle, 19808, and the name of the registered agent of the corporation in the State of Delaware at such address is The Corporation Service Company.

THIRD. The purpose of this corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”).

FOURTH. This corporation is authorized to issue only one class of stock, to be designated Common Stock. The total number of shares of Common Stock presently authorized is 1,000, each having a par value of $0.001.

FIFTH.

A. Management by Board of Directors. The management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the corporation will be vested in its Board of Directors. The number of directors which will constitute the whole Board of Directors will be fixed by the Board of Directors in the manner provided in the Bylaws. Unless and except to the extent that the bylaws of the corporation so require the election of directors of the corporation need not be by written ballot.

B. Election of Directors. Directors will be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders to hold office until the next annual meeting. Each director will hold office either until the expiration of the term for which elected or appointed and until a successor has been elected and qualified, or until such director’s death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors will shorten the term of any incumbent director.

C. No Cumulative Voting. No person entitled to vote at an election for directors may cumulate votes to which such person is entitled unless required by applicable law at the time of such election. During such time or times that applicable law requires cumulative voting, every stockholder entitled to vote at an election for directors may cumulate such stockholder’s votes and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which such stockholder’s shares are otherwise entitled, or distribute the stockholder’s votes on the same principle among as many candidates as such stockholder desires. No stockholder, however, will be entitled to so cumulate such stockholder’s votes unless (1) the names of such candidate or candidates have been placed in nomination prior to the voting and (2) the stockholder has given notice at the meeting, prior to the voting, of such stockholder’s intention to cumulate such stockholder’s votes. If any stockholder has given proper notice to cumulate votes, all stockholders may cumulate their votes for any candidates who have been properly placed in nomination. Under cumulative voting, the candidates receiving the highest number of votes, up to the number of directors to be elected, are elected.

D. Removal. Subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law, the Board of Directors or any director may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally at an election of directors.

E. Empowerment Regarding Bylaws. The Board of Directors is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the corporation. The stockholders will also have power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the corporation; provided, however, that, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the corporation required by law or by this Certificate of Incorporation, such action by stockholders will require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

SIXTH.

A. Liability of Directors and Officers Limited. The liability of the directors and officers for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer is eliminated to the fullest extent under applicable law. If applicable law is amended after the effectiveness of this Article VI to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors or officers, then the liability of a director or officer to the corporation will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as so amended. Solely for purposes of this Part A of this Article VI, “officer” shall have the meaning provided in Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL as amended from time to time.

B. Indemnification Authorized. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the corporation is authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) directors, officers and agents of the corporation (and any other persons to which applicable law permits the corporation to provide indemnification) through Bylaw provisions, agreements with such agents or other persons, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by such applicable law.

Limitation on Repeal of Article VI. Any repeal or modification of this Article VI is only prospective and does not affect the rights or protections or increase the liability of any officer or director under this Article VI in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any act or omission to act giving rise to liability or indemnification.

SEVENTH. The corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon the stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.

EIGHTH. Unless the corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the corporation to the corporation or the corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the corporation, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the corporation, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine or otherwise related to the internal affairs of the corporation, except for, as to each of (i) through (iv) above, any claim as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction. If any provision or provisions of this Article VIII is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, each portion of any sentence of this Article VIII containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities and circumstances will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that the meeting will not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as provided under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”).

Section 5. Annual Meeting.

(a) The annual meeting of the stockholders of the corporation, for the purpose of election of directors and for such other business as may lawfully come before it, will be held on such date and at such time as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders: (i) pursuant to the corporation’s notice of meeting of stockholders; (ii) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors; or (iii) by any stockholder of the corporation who was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in the following paragraph, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section.

(b) At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business will be conducted as has been properly brought before the meeting. For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iii) of paragraph (a) of this Section, (i) the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the corporation, (ii) such other business must be a proper matter for stockholder action under the DGCL and applicable law, (iii) if the stockholder, or the beneficial owner on whose behalf any such proposal or nomination is made, has provided the corporation with a Solicitation Notice (as defined in this paragraph), such stockholder or beneficial owner must, in the case of a proposal, have delivered a proxy statement and form of proxy to

holders of at least the percentage of the corporation’s voting shares required under applicable law to carry any such proposal, or, in the case of a nomination or nominations, have delivered a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of a percentage of the corporation’s voting shares reasonably believed by such stockholder or beneficial owner to be sufficient to elect the nominee or nominees proposed to be nominated by such stockholder, and must, in either case, have included in such materials the Solicitation Notice, and (iv) if no Solicitation Notice relating thereto has been timely provided pursuant to this Section, the stockholder or beneficial owner proposing such business or nomination must not have solicited a number of proxies sufficient to have required the delivery of such a Solicitation Notice under this Section. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice will be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the 90^th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120^th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than 30 days prior to or delayed by more than 30 days after the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120^th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90^th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10^th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. In no event will the public announcement of an adjournment of an annual meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. Such stockholder’s notice will set forth: (A) as to each person whom the stockholder proposed to nominate for election or reelection as a director all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), and Rule 14a-4(d) thereunder (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (B) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (C) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner, (ii) the class and number of shares of the corporation that are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner, and (iii) whether either such stockholder or beneficial owner intends to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of, in the case of the proposal, at least the percentage of the corporation’s voting shares required under applicable law to carry the proposal or, in the case of a nomination or nominations, a sufficient number of holders of the corporation’s voting shares to elect such nominee or nominees (an affirmative statement of such intent, a “Solicitation Notice”).

(c) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph (b) of this Section to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the corporation is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors made by the corporation at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this Section will also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it is delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the 10^th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the corporation.

(d) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section (or elected or appointed pursuant to Article IV of these Bylaws) will be eligible to serve as directors and only such business will be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as has been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section. Except as otherwise provided by law, the chair of the meeting will have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made, or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these Bylaws, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination will not be presented for stockholder action at the meeting and will be disregarded.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, in order to include information with respect to a stockholder proposal in the proxy statement and form of proxy for a stockholders’ meeting, stockholders must provide notice as required by the regulations promulgated under the 1934 Act. Nothing in these Bylaws is deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the corporation proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the 1934 Act.

(f) For purposes of this Section, “public announcement” means disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act.

Section 6. Special Meetings.

(a) Special meetings of the stockholders of the corporation may be called, for any purpose or purposes, by (i) the Chair of the Board of Directors, (ii) the Chief Executive Officer, (iii) the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by directors representing a quorum of the directors then serving on the Board of Directors or (iv) the holders of shares entitled to cast not less than 20% of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation , and will be held at such place, on such date, and at such time as the Board of Directors will fix. At any time or times that the corporation is subject to Section 2115(b) of the California General Corporation Law (the “CGCL”), stockholders holding 5% or more of the outstanding shares will have the right to call a special meeting of stockholders as set forth in Section 18(b) of these Bylaws.

(b) If a special meeting is properly called by any person or persons other than the Board of Directors, the request must be in writing, specifying the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted, and must be delivered personally or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by electronic transmission to the Chair of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, or the Secretary of the corporation. No business may be transacted at such special meeting otherwise than specified in such notice. The Board of Directors will determine the time and place of such special meeting, which will be held not less than 35 nor more than 120 days after the date of the receipt of the request. Upon determination of the time and place of the meeting, the officer receiving the request will cause notice to be given to the stockholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of these Bylaws. Nothing contained in this paragraph (b) is to be construed as limiting, fixing, or affecting the time when a meeting of stockholders called by action of the Board of Directors may be held.

Section 7. Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by law, notice, given in accordance with Section 232 of the DGCL, of each meeting of stockholders will be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, such notice to specify the place, if any, date and hour, in the case of special meetings, the purpose or purposes of the meeting, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at any such meeting. Notice of the time, place, if any, and purpose of any meeting of stockholders may be waived in writing, signed by the person entitled to notice thereof or by electronic transmission by such person, either before or after such meeting, and will be waived by any stockholder by such stockholder’s attendance thereat in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy, except when the stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Any stockholder so waiving notice of such meeting will be bound by the proceedings of any such meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been given.

Section 8. Quorum. At all meetings of stockholders, except as otherwise provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the presence, in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned, from time to time, either by the chair of the meeting or by vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented thereat, but no other business will be transacted at such meeting. The stockholders present at a duly called or convened meeting, at which a quorum is present, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Except as otherwise provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized at the meeting and entitled to vote generally on the subject matter will be the act of the stockholders. Except as otherwise provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized at the meeting and entitled to vote generally on the election of directors. Where a separate vote by a class or classes or series is required, except as otherwise provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or classes or series, present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized, will constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter. Except as otherwise provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the affirmative vote of the majority (plurality, in the case of the election of directors) of shares of such class or classes or series present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting will be the act of such class or classes or series.

Section 9. Adjournment and Notice of Adjourned Meetings. Any meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time either by the chair of the meeting or by the vote of a majority of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place (including an adjournment taken to address a technical failure to convene or continue a meeting using remote communication), if any, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof are (a) announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, (b) displayed, during the time scheduled for the meeting, on the same electronic network used to enable stockholders and proxy holders to participate in the meeting by means of remote communication or (c) set forth in the notice of meeting of stockholders. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or applicable law. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting will be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 10. Voting Rights. For the purpose of determining those stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by law, only persons in whose names shares stand on the stock records of the corporation on the record date, as provided in Section 12 of these Bylaws, will be entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders. Every person entitled to vote or execute consents will have the right to do so either in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by an agent or agents authorized by a proxy granted in accordance with Delaware law. An agent so appointed need not be a stockholder. No proxy will be voted after three years from its date of creation unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

Section 11. Joint Owners of Stock. If shares or other securities having voting power stand of record in the names of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety, or otherwise, or if two or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same shares, unless the Secretary is given written notice to the contrary and is furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship where it is so provided, their acts with respect to voting (including giving consent pursuant to Section 13) will have the following effect: (a) if only one votes, such person’s act binds all; (b) if more than one votes and the vote is not evenly split, the act of the majority so voting binds all; (c) if more than one votes, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each faction may vote the securities in question proportionally, or may apply to the Delaware Court of Chancery for relief as provided in the DGCL, Section 217(b). If the instrument filed with the Secretary shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interests, a majority or even-split for the purpose of subsection (c) will be a majority or even-split in interest.

Section 12. List of Stockholders. The corporation will prepare, no later than the tenth day before each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at said meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list will be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of ten days ending on the day before the meeting date, on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the corporation. In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation.

Section 13. Action Without Meeting.

(a) Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required by statute to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders, or any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents setting forth the action so taken, will be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

(b) A consent must be set forth in writing or in an electronic transmission. No consent will be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take action are delivered to the corporation in the manner required by the DGCL within 60 days of the first date on which a consent is so delivered to the corporation. All references to a consent in this Section mean a consent permitted by Section 228 of the DGCL.

(c) If an action by consent is taken by stockholders by less than unanimous consent, prompt notice of the taking of the action by consent will be given to those stockholders as of the record date for the action by consent who have not consented and who would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the action had been taken at a meeting and the record date for the notice of the meeting were the record date for the action by consent. If the action to which the stockholders consented is such as would have required the filing of a certificate under any section of the DGCL if such action had been voted on by stockholders at a meeting thereof, then the certificate filed under such section must state, in lieu of any statement required by such section concerning any vote of stockholders, that consent has been given in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL.

(d) A consent permitted by this Section shall be delivered: (i) to the principal place of business of the corporation; (ii) to an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded; (iii) to the registered office of the corporation in the State of Delaware by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; (iv) subject to the next sentence, in accordance with Section 116 of the DGCL to an information processing system, if any, designated by the corporation for receiving such consents; or (v) when delivered in such other manner that complies with the DGCL. In the case of delivery pursuant to the foregoing clause (iv), such consent must set forth or be delivered with information that enables the corporation to determine the date of delivery of such consent and the identity of the person giving such consent, and, if such consent is given by a person authorized to act for a stockholder or member as proxy, such consent must comply with the applicable provisions of Section 212(c)(2) & (3) of the DGCL. Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing. A consent may be documented and signed in accordance with Section 116 of the DGCL, and when so documented or signed shall be deemed to be in writing for purposes of the DGCL; provided that if such consent is delivered pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of subsection (d)(1) of Section 228 of the DGCL, such consent must be reproduced and delivered in paper form.

Section 14. Organization.

(a) At every meeting of stockholders, the Chair of the Board of Directors, or, if a Chair has not been appointed or is absent, the Chief Executive Officer, or, if the Chief Executive Officer is absent, a chair of the meeting chosen by a majority in interest of the stockholders entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy, will act as chair. The Secretary, or, in the Secretary’s absence, an Assistant Secretary directed to do so by the Chief Executive Officer, will act as secretary of the meeting.

(b) The Board of Directors is entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it deems necessary, appropriate or convenient. Subject to such rules and regulations of the Board of Directors, if any, the chair of the meeting has the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chair, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, establishing an agenda or order of business for the meeting, rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present, limitations on participation in such meeting to stockholders of record of the corporation and their duly authorized and constituted proxies and such other persons as the chair permits, restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof, limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants and regulation of the opening and closing of the polls for balloting on matters that are to be voted on by ballot. The date and time of the opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at the meeting will be announced at the meeting. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chair of the meeting, meetings of stockholders will not be required to be held in accordance with rules of parliamentary procedure.

ARTICLE IV

DIRECTORS

Section 15. Number and Term of Office. The authorized number of directors of the corporation will be fixed by the Board of Directors from time to time. Directors need not be stockholders unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation. If for any cause, the directors have not been elected at an annual meeting, they may be elected as soon thereafter as convenient.

Section 16. Powers. The business and affairs of the corporation will be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors, except as otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation.

Section 17. Term of Directors.

(a) Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, directors will be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders to serve until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified or until such director’s death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors will shorten the term of any incumbent director.

(b) No person entitled to vote at an election for directors may cumulate votes to which such person is entitled, unless, at the time of such election, the corporation is subject to Section 2115(b) of the CGCL. During such time or times that the corporation is subject to Section 2115(b) of the CGCL, every stockholder entitled to vote at an election for directors may cumulate such stockholder’s votes and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which such stockholder’s shares are otherwise entitled, or distribute the stockholder’s votes on the same principle among as many candidates as such stockholder thinks fit. No stockholder, however, will be entitled to so cumulate such stockholder’s votes unless (i) the names of such candidate or candidates have been placed in nomination prior to the voting and (ii) the stockholder has given notice at the meeting, prior to the voting, of such stockholder’s intention to cumulate such stockholder’s votes. If any stockholder has given proper notice to cumulate votes, all stockholders may cumulate their votes for any candidates who have been properly placed in nomination. Under cumulative voting, the candidates receiving the highest number of votes, up to the number of directors to be elected, are elected.

Section 18. Vacancies.

(a) Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors will, unless the Board of Directors determines by resolution that any such vacancies or newly created directorships will be filled by stockholders, be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, or by a sole remaining director; provided, however, that whenever the holders of any class or classes of stock or series thereof are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, vacancies and newly created directorships of such class or classes or series will, unless the Board of Directors determines by resolution that any such vacancies or newly created directorships must be filled by stockholders, be filled by a majority of the directors elected by such class or classes or series thereof then in office, or by a sole remaining director so elected. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence will hold office for the remainder of the full term of the director for which the vacancy was created or occurred and until such director’s successor has been elected and qualified. A vacancy in the Board of Directors will be deemed to exist under this Bylaw in the case of the death, removal or resignation of any director.

(b) At any time or times that the corporation is subject to Section 2115(b) of the CGCL, if, after the filling of any vacancy, the directors then in office who have been elected by stockholders constitute less than a majority of the directors then in office, then

(i) any holder or holders of an aggregate of 5% or more of the total number of shares at the time outstanding having the right to vote for those directors may call a special meeting of stockholders; or

(ii) the Superior Court of the proper county will, upon application of such stockholder or stockholders, summarily order a special meeting of the stockholders, to be held to elect the entire board, all in accordance with Section 305(c) of the CGCL, the term of office of any director will terminate upon that election of a successor.

Section 19. Resignation. Any director may resign at any time by delivering such director’s notice in writing or by electronic transmission to the Secretary, such resignation to specify whether it will be effective at a particular time, upon receipt by the Secretary or at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. If no such specification is made, it will be deemed effective at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or elsewhere in these Bylaws, when one or more directors resigns from the Board of Directors, effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, will have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations become effective, and each director so chosen will hold office for the unexpired portion of the term of the director whose place is vacated and until such director’s successor has been duly elected and qualified.

Section 20. Removal.

(a) Subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law and unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors or any director may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally at an election of directors.

(b) During such time or times that the corporation is subject to Section 2115(b) of the CGCL, the Board of Directors or any individual director may be removed from office at any time without cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on such removal; provided, however, that unless the entire Board of Directors is removed, no individual director may be removed when the votes cast against such director’s removal, or not consenting in writing to such removal, would be sufficient to elect that director if voted cumulatively at an election in which the same total number of votes were cast (or, if such action is taken by written consent, all shares entitled to vote were voted) and the entire number of directors authorized at the time of such director’s most recent election were then being elected.

Section 21. Meetings

(a) Regular Meetings. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held at any time or date and at any place within or without the State of Delaware that has been designated by the Board of Directors and publicized among all directors, either orally or in writing, including a voice-messaging system or other system designated to record and communicate messages, or by electronic mail or other means of electronic transmission. No further notice will be required for a regular meeting of the Board of Directors.

(b) Special Meetings. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, special meetings of the Board of Directors may be held at any time and place within or without the State of Delaware whenever called by the Chair of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer (if a director), the President (if a director) or any director.

(c) Meetings by Electronic Communications Equipment. Any member of the Board of Directors, or of any committee thereof, may participate in a meeting by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting by such means constitutes presence in person at such meeting.

(d) Notice of Special Meetings. Notice of the time and place of all special meetings of the Board of Directors will be orally or in writing, by telephone, including a voice messaging system or other system or technology designed to record and communicate messages, or by electronic mail or other means of electronic transmission, during normal business hours, at least 24 hours before the date and time of the meeting. If notice is sent by US mail, it will be sent by first class mail, postage prepaid at least three days before the date of the meeting. Notice of any meeting may be waived in writing or by electronic transmission at any time before or after the meeting and will be waived by any director by attendance thereat, except when the director attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

(e) Waiver of Notice. The transaction of all business at any meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof, however called or noticed, or wherever held, will be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum be present and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the directors not present who did not receive notice signs a written waiver of notice or waives notice by electronic transmission. All such waivers will be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.

Section 22. Quorum and Voting.

(a) Unless the Certificate of Incorporation requires a greater number, a quorum of the Board of Directors will consist of a majority of the total number of directors then serving; provided, however, that such number will never be less than 1/3 of the total number of directors authorized except that when one director is authorized, then one director will constitute a quorum. At any meeting, whether a quorum be present or otherwise, a majority of the directors present may adjourn from time to time until the time fixed for the next regular meeting of the Board of Directors, without notice other than by announcement at the meeting. If the Certificate of Incorporation provides that one or more directors will have more or less than one vote per director on any matter, every reference in this Section to a majority or other proportion of the directors, including with respect to establishing a quorum for meetings of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof or the requisite vote for approval by directors or the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, will refer to a majority or other proportion of the votes of the directors.

(b) At each meeting of the Board of Directors at which a quorum is present, all questions and business will be determined by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present, unless a different vote be required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

Section 23. Action Without Meeting. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be, consent in writing or by electronic transmission. A consent may be documented, signed and delivered in any manner permitted by Section 116 of the DGCL. After an action is taken, the consent or consents relating thereto will be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board of Directors, or the committee thereof, in the same paper or electronic form as the minutes are maintained.

Section 24. Fees and Compensation. Directors will be entitled to such compensation for their services as may be approved by the Board of Directors, including, if so approved, by resolution of the Board of Directors, a fixed sum and expenses of attendance, if any, for attendance at each regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors and at any meeting of a committee of the Board of Directors. Nothing herein contained is to be construed to preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity as an officer, agent, employee, or otherwise and receiving compensation therefor.

Section 25. Committees.

(a) Executive Committee. The Board of Directors may appoint an Executive Committee to consist of one or more members of the Board of Directors. The Executive Committee, to the extent permitted by law and provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors, will have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation, and may authorize the seal of the corporation to be affixed to all papers that may require it; but no such committee will have the power or authority in reference to (i) approving or adopting, or recommending to the stockholders, any action or matter expressly required by the DGCL to be submitted to stockholders for approval, or (ii) adopting, amending or repealing any bylaw of the corporation.

(b) Other Committees. The Board of Directors may, from time to time, appoint such other committees as may be permitted by law. Such other committees appointed by the Board of Directors will consist of one or more members of the Board of Directors and will have such powers and perform such duties as may be prescribed by the resolution or resolutions creating such committees, but in no event will any such committee have the powers denied to the Executive Committee in these Bylaws.

(c) Term. The Board of Directors, subject to any requirements of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock and the provisions of paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section may at any time increase or decrease the number of members of a committee or terminate the existence of a committee. The membership of a committee member will terminate on the date of such member’s death or voluntary resignation from the committee or from the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may at any time for any reason remove any individual committee member and the Board of Directors may fill any committee vacancy created by death, resignation, removal or increase in the number of members of the committee. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee, and, in addition, in the absence or disqualification of any member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member.

(d) Meetings. Unless the Board of Directors otherwise provide, regular meetings of the Executive Committee or any other committee appointed pursuant to this Section will be held at such times and places as are determined by the Board of Directors, or by any such committee, and when notice thereof has been given to each member of such committee, no further notice of such regular meetings need be given thereafter. Special meetings of any such committee may be held at any place that has been determined from time to time by such committee, and may be called by any director who is a member of such committee, upon notice to the members of such committee of the time and place of such special meeting given in the manner provided for the giving of notice to members of the Board of Directors of the time and place of special meetings of the Board of Directors. Notice of any special meeting of any committee may be waived in writing at any time before or after the meeting and will be waived by any director by attendance thereat, except when the director attends such special meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors in the resolutions authorizing the creation of the committee, a majority of the authorized number of members of any such committee will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the act of a majority of those present at any meeting at which a quorum is present will be the act of such committee.

Section 26. Duties of Chair of the Board of Directors. The Chair of the Board of Directors, when present, will preside at all meetings of the stockholders and the Board of Directors. The Chair of the Board of Directors will perform other duties commonly incident to the office and will also perform such other duties and have such other powers as the Board of Directors designates from time to time.

All checks and drafts drawn on banks or other depositaries of funds to the credit of the corporation or on special accounts of the corporation will be signed by such person or persons as the Board of Directors authorizes so to do.

ARTICLE VII

SHARES OF STOCK

Section 35. Form and Execution of Certificates. The shares of the corporation will be represented by certificates, or will be uncertificated. Certificates for the shares of stock, if any, of the corporation will be in such form as is consistent with the Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law. Every holder of shares of stock in the corporation represented by certificate will be entitled to have a certificate signed by or in the name of the corporation by any two authorized officers of the corporation, including but not limited to the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial Officer, any Vice President, the Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or Assistant Secretary, certifying the number of shares owned by such holder in the corporation. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be facsimiles. In case any officer, transfer agent, or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent, or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue.

Section 36. Lost Certificates. A new certificate or certificates will be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen, or destroyed. The corporation may require, as a condition precedent to the issuance of a new certificate or certificates, the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate or certificates, or the owner’s legal representative, to agree to indemnify the corporation in such manner as it requires or to give the corporation a surety bond in such form and amount as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed.

Section 37. Fixing Record Dates.

(a) In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which record date will not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date will, subject to applicable law, not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders will be at the close of business on the day immediately preceding the day on which notice is given, or if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day immediately preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders will apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

(b) In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action without a meeting in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date will not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which date will not be more than 10 days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. Any stockholder of record seeking to have the stockholders authorize or take corporate action without a meeting in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL will, by written notice to the Secretary, request the Board of Directors to fix a record date. The Board of Directors will promptly, but in all events within 10 days after the date on which such a request is received, adopt a resolution fixing the record date. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors within 10 days of the date on which such a request is received, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, will be the first date on which a signed consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation in accordance with the DGCL. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action without a meeting will be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

(c) In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which record date will not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date will be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose will be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

Section 38. Registered Stockholders. The corporation is entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and is not bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person whether or not it has express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.

All bonds, debentures and other corporate securities of the corporation, other than stock certificates (covered in Section 35 of these Bylaws), may be signed by the Chair of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or any Vice President, or such other person as may be authorized by the Board of Directors, and the corporate seal impressed thereon or a facsimile of such seal imprinted thereon and attested by the signature of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, or the Chief Financial Officer or Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer; provided, however, that where any such bond, debenture or other corporate security is authenticated by the manual signature, or where permissible facsimile signature, of a trustee under an indenture pursuant to which such bond, debenture or other corporate security is issued, the signatures of the persons signing and attesting the corporate seal on such bond, debenture or other corporate security may be the imprinted facsimile of the signatures of such persons. Interest coupons appertaining to any such bond, debenture or other corporate security, authenticated by a trustee as aforesaid, will be signed by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the corporation or such other person as may be authorized by the Board of Directors, or bear imprinted thereon the facsimile signature of such person. In case any officer who has signed or attested any bond, debenture or other corporate security, or whose facsimile signature appears thereon or on any such interest coupon, has ceased to be such officer before the bond, debenture or other corporate security so signed or attested has been delivered, such bond, debenture or other corporate security nevertheless may be adopted by the corporation and issued and delivered as though the person who signed the same or whose facsimile signature has been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer of the corporation.

Section 41. Dividend Reserve. Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the Board of Directors from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation, or for such other purpose as the Board of Directors thinks conducive to the interests of the corporation, and the Board of Directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.

ARTICLE XI

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 43. Indemnification of Directors, Executive Officers, Other Officers, Employees and Other Agents.

(a) Directors and Executive Officers. The corporation will indemnify its directors and executive officers (for the purposes of this Article, “executive officers” has the meaning defined in Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the 1934 Act) to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL or any other applicable law; provided, however, that the corporation may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with its directors and executive officers; and, provided, further, that the corporation will not be required to indemnify any director or executive officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation, (iii) such indemnification is provided by the corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the corporation under the DGCL or any other applicable law or (iv) such indemnification is required to be made under paragraph (d) of this Section.

(b) Other Officers, Employees and Other Agents. The corporation will have power to indemnify its other officers, employees and other agents as set forth in the DGCL or any other applicable law. The Board of Directors will have the power to delegate the determination of whether indemnification will be given to any such person except executive officers to such officers or other persons as the Board of Directors determines.

(c) Expenses. The corporation will advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or executive officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or executive officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses incurred by any director or executive officer in connection with such proceeding, provided, however, that, if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by a director or officer in such director’s or officer’s capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) will be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section or otherwise.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, no advance will be made by the corporation to an executive officer of the corporation (except by reason of the fact that such executive officer is or was a director of the corporation, in which event this paragraph will not apply) in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, even if not a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

(d) Enforcement. Without the necessity of entering into an express contract, all rights to indemnification and advances to directors and executive officers under this Section will be deemed to be contractual rights and be effective to the same extent and as if provided for in a contract between the corporation and the director or executive officer. Any right to indemnification or advances granted by this Section to a director or executive officer will be enforceable by or on behalf of the person holding such right in any court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim is made within 90 days of request therefor. The claimant in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, will be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting the claim. In connection with any claim for indemnification, the corporation will be entitled to raise as a defense to any such action that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under the DGCL or any other applicable law for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. In connection with any claim by an executive officer of the corporation (except in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such executive officer is or was a director of the corporation) for advances, the corporation will be entitled to raise as a defense as to any such action clear and convincing evidence that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding that such person acted without reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was lawful. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL or any other applicable law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, will be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(e) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Section are not exclusive of any other right that such person may have or hereafter acquire under any applicable statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office. The corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL or any other applicable law.

(f) Survival of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Section will continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or executive officer and will inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(g) Insurance. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, or any other applicable law, the corporation, upon approval by the Board of Directors, may purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to this Section.

(h) Amendments. Any repeal, amendment or modification of this Section is only prospective and does not affect the rights under this Bylaw in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that is the cause of any proceeding against any agent of the corporation.

(i) Saving Clause. If this Section or any portion hereof is invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the corporation will nevertheless indemnify each director and executive officer to the full extent not prohibited by any applicable portion of this Bylaw that has not been invalidated, or by any other applicable law. If this Section is invalid due to the application of the indemnification provisions of another jurisdiction, then the corporation will indemnify each director and executive officer to the full extent under applicable law.

(j) Certain Definitions. For the purposes of this Section, the following definitions apply:

(1) The term “proceeding” is to be broadly construed and includes, without limitation, the investigation, preparation, prosecution, defense, settlement, arbitration and appeal of, and the giving of testimony in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative.

(2) The term “expenses” is to be broadly construed and includes, without limitation, court costs, attorneys’ fees, witness fees, fines, amounts paid in settlement or judgment and any other costs and expenses of any nature or kind incurred in connection with any proceeding.

(3) The term the “corporation” includes, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger that, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, stands in the same position under the provisions of this Section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

(4) References to a “director,” “executive officer,” “officer,” “employee,” or “agent” of the corporation include, without limitation, situations where such person is serving at the request of the corporation as, respectively, a director, executive officer, officer, employee, trustee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

(5) References to “other enterprises” include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation that imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan is deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this Section.

ARTICLE XII

NOTICES

Section 44. Notices.

(a) Notice to Stockholders. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, and except as otherwise required by law, any notice to stockholders may be given in writing directed to the stockholder’s mailing address (or by electronic transmission directed to the stockholder’s electronic mail address) as it appears on the records of the corporation and will be given (1) if mailed, when the notice is deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid; (2) if delivered by courier service, the earlier of when the notice is received or left at such stockholder’s address; or (3) if given by electronic mail, when directed to such stockholder’s electronic mail address unless the stockholder has notified the corporation in writing or by electronic transmission of an objection to receiving notice by electronic mail or such notice is prohibited by the DGCL. A notice by electronic mail must include a prominent legend that the communication is an important notice regarding the corporation.

(b) Notice to Directors. Any notice required to be given to any director may be given by the method stated in paragraph (a) of this Section, or as provided for in Section 21 of these Bylaws. If such notice is not delivered personally, it will be sent to such address as such director has filed in writing with the Secretary, or, in the absence of such filing, to the last known address of such director.

(c) Affidavit of Mailing. An affidavit of mailing, executed by a duly authorized and competent employee of the corporation or its transfer agent appointed with respect to the class of stock affected or other agent, specifying the name and address or the names and addresses of the stockholder or stockholders, or director or directors, to whom any such notice or notices was or were given, and the time and method of giving the same, will in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

(d) Methods of Notice. It is not necessary that the same method of giving notice be employed in respect of all recipients of notice, but one permissible method may be employed in respect of any one or more, and any other permissible method or methods may be employed in respect of any other or others.

(e) Notice to Person with Whom Communication Is Unlawful. Whenever notice is required to be given, under any provision of law or of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the corporation, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person is not required and there is no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting that is taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful has the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate will state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.

(f) Notice to Stockholders Sharing an Address. Except as otherwise prohibited under DGCL, any notice given under the provisions of DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws will be effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is given. Such consent is deemed to have been given if such stockholder fails to object in writing to the corporation within 60 days of having been given notice by the corporation of its intention to send the single notice. Any consent is revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the corporation.

ARTICLE XIII

AMENDMENTS

Section 45. Amendments. The Board of Directors is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal Bylaws of the corporation. The stockholders also have power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the corporation; provided, however, that, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the corporation required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, such action by stockholders requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

ARTICLE XIV

LOANS TO OFFICERS

Section 46. Loans to Officers. Except as otherwise prohibited under applicable law, the corporation may lend money to, or guarantee any obligation of, or otherwise assist any officer or other employee of the corporation or of its subsidiaries, including any officer or employee who is a Director of the corporation or its subsidiaries, whenever, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, such loan, guarantee or assistance may reasonably be expected to benefit the corporation. The loan, guarantee or other assistance may be with or without interest and may be unsecured, or secured in such manner as the Board of Directors approves, including, without limitation, a pledge of shares of stock of the corporation. Nothing in these Bylaws is deemed to deny, limit or restrict the powers of guaranty or warranty of the corporation at common law or under any statute.

ARTICLE XV

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 47. Annual Report.

(a) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, during such time or times that the corporation is subject to Section 2115(b) of the CGCL, the Board of Directors will cause an annual report to be sent to each stockholder of the corporation not later than 120 days after the close of the corporation’s fiscal year. Such report will include a balance sheet as of the end of such fiscal year and an income statement and statement of changes in financial position for such fiscal year, accompanied by any report thereon of independent accountants or, if there is no such report, the certificate of an authorized officer of the corporation that such statements were prepared without audit from the books and records of the corporation. When there are 100 or more stockholders of record of the corporation’s shares, as determined by Section 605 of the CGCL, additional information as required by Section 1501(b) of the CGCL will also be contained in such report, provided that if the corporation has a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the 1934 Act, the 1934 Act will take precedence. Such report will be sent to stockholders at least 15 (or, if sent by third-class mail, 35) days prior to the next annual meeting of stockholders after the end of the fiscal year to which it relates.

(b) If and so long as there are fewer than 100 holders of record of the corporation’s shares, the requirement of sending of an annual report to the stockholders of the corporation is hereby expressly waived.

Section 48. Forum. Unless the corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the corporation; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the corporation to the corporation or the corporation’s stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim against the corporation or any director or officer or other employee of the corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or the Bylaws of the corporation; or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the corporation or any director or officer or other employee of the corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

The failure by Parent or Purchaser at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right and, each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time and from time to time. In addition, each of the foregoing conditions is independent of any of the other foregoing conditions; the exclusion of any event from a particular condition does not mean that such event may not be included in another condition.

ANNEX II

FORM OF TENDER AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.1

TENDER AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT

This TENDER AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is made and entered into as of April 5, 2026, by and among Neurocrine Biosciences Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Sigma Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Purchaser”), and the undersigned holders (each, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”) of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Company Common Stock”), of Soleno Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), Purchaser will commence a cash tender offer to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Offer”). Following consummation (as defined in Section 251(h) of the DGCL) of the Offer, at the Effective Time, Purchaser will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”) with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, each Holder is the record and beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the number of shares of Company Common Stock as indicated opposite such Holder’s name on Schedule 1 attached hereto (together with any New Shares (as defined in Section 1(b) acquired by such Holder) and excluding any Shares Transferred by such Holder in accordance with Section 1, the “Shares”); and

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to Parent’s and Purchaser’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Holders have agreed to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth below and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Holder, Parent and Purchaser agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. Agreement to Retain Shares.

(a) No Transfer; No Inconsistent Arrangements. From the date of this Agreement and until the Expiration Time (as defined below), other than pursuant to this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the Offer, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”), no Holder shall, and such Holder shall not permit any other Person acting at such Holder’s direction or on such Holder’s behalf to:

(i) sell, assign, transfer, tender, exchange, offer, gift, or otherwise dispose (whether by sale, liquidation, dissolution, dividend or distribution) of, or enter into any derivative arrangement with respect to, any Shares, or any right or interest therein (or voluntarily consent to any of the foregoing) (each, a “Transfer”), other than Permitted Transfers (as defined below);

(ii) create any lien, claim, pledge, grant, hypothecation, obligation, option, charge, proxy, voting trust or other encumbrance or restriction on title, transfer or exercise of any rights of a Holder in respect of such Shares (“Lien”) on the Shares, except Liens arising under or pursuant to, or imposed by, (A) applicable Law, (B) this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the Transactions, (C) any Company Stock Awards, any employee benefit plan of the Company, (D) community property laws, (E) any restrictions under applicable federal or state securities laws, (F) security interests or other encumbrances incurred in connection with standard margin account arrangements, (G) securing indebtedness of the Holder, which Liens, upon or prior to Transfer of the Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be released, or (H) arising in connection with any Permitted Transfers (collectively, “Permitted Liens”);

(iii) deposit any Shares into a voting trust, or enter into a voting agreement or similar arrangement, or grant or permit the grant of any proxy, power of attorney or other authorization or consent in, or with respect to, the Shares; or

(iv) enter into any Contract with respect to any Transfer or Lien prohibited by this Section 1.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder may: Transfer Shares (t) if such Holder is not an individual, to one or more persons who is an equityholder, trustee, beneficiary, partner, or member of such Holder, (u) to any charitable foundation or organization, including donor advised funds; (v) pursuant to, and in compliance with, a written plan in effect as of the date of this Agreement that meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, (w) in connection with the exercise, vesting or settlement of Company Stock Awards (including the net settlement of such equity or sale of underlying shares of Company Common Stock in order to pay any exercise price and any tax withholding obligations in connection therewith), (x) to any Affiliate, Subsidiary, partner or member of such Holder or to a trust established for the benefit of such Holder or any of its Affiliates, (y) if such Holder is an individual, (i) to any member of such Holder’s immediate family or a trust for the sole benefit of any member of such Holder’s immediate family or (ii) to any person or entity if and to the extent required by any non-consensual legal order, by divorce decree or by will, intestacy or other similar law (provided, however, that in case of the foregoing clauses (t), (u), (x) and (y)(i) if, as a condition to such Transfer, the recipient agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement and delivers a copy of such executed written agreement to Parent prior to the consummation of such Transfer); or (z) with Parent’s prior written consent (such exceptions set forth in clauses (t) through (z), inclusive, a “Permitted Transfer”). Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit direct or indirect Transfers of equity or other interests in a Holder. Any action with respect to Shares in violation of this Section 1 shall be null and void ab initio.

(b) New Shares. Any shares of capital stock or other equity securities of the Company that are issued to a Holder, or that a Holder acquires record or beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of, after the date of this Agreement and at or prior to the Expiration Time, whether pursuant to purchase, exercise, exchange or conversion of, or other transaction involving, any and all warrants, options, rights or other securities (“New Shares”), shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they comprised the Shares as of the date hereof.

(c) Adjustments. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, merger, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction with respect to the capital stock of the Company that affects the Shares, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the resulting securities and such resulting securities shall constitute “Shares” for all purposes hereunder.

2. Agreement to Tender Shares. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Holder hereby agrees to, as promptly as practicable after the commencement of the Offer, and in any event no later than the tenth (10^th) business day (determined pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 14d-1(g)(3)) after the commencement of the Offer, tender or cause to be tendered in the Offer all of such Holder’s Shares pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) (the “Tender Date”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no later than ten (10) business days (determined pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 14d-1(g)(3)) following the later of (x) the delivery of a letter of transmittal with respect to such Holder’s Shares complying with the terms of the Offer and (y) the commencement (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of the Offer, each Holder shall: (a) deliver pursuant to the terms of the Offer (i) a letter of transmittal with respect to such Holder’s Shares complying with the terms of the Offer, (ii) a Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) representing such Shares or an “agent’s message” in customary form (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) in the case of Shares that are

2

Book-Entry Shares and (iii) all other documents or instruments required to be delivered by the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Offer; or (b) instruct such Holder’s broker or such other Person that is the holder of record of any Shares beneficially owned by such Holder to tender such Shares pursuant to the terms of the Offer. Once such Holder’s Shares are tendered, such Holder shall not withdraw any of such Shares from the Offer, unless and until this Agreement shall have been validly terminated in accordance with Section 8 or the Offer has been terminated or expired without Purchaser having purchased all Shares tendered into the Offer in accordance with its terms. If any Holder acquires any Shares after the Tender Date, such Holder shall tender into the Offer such Shares prior to the earlier of (x) five (5) business days (determined pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 14d-1(g)(3)) following the date that such Holder acquired such Shares and (y) the Expiration Time. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing herein shall require such Holder to exercise any equity award or warrant or require such Holder to purchase any Shares, and nothing herein shall prohibit such Holder from exercising any equity award or warrant held by such Holder.

3. Agreement to Vote Shares. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Holder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, from the date of this Agreement and until the Expiration Time, at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, with respect to any of the following, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or other approval of all or some of the stockholders of the Company is sought, and on every action or approval proposed to be taken by written consent of the stockholders of the Company with respect to any of the following, each Holder of Shares shall appear at such meeting (in person or by proxy) or otherwise cause the Shares (to the extent that any of the Shares are not purchased in the Offer) to be counted as present for purposes of calculating a quorum and shall vote (or cause to be voted) or deliver a written consent (or cause a written consent to be delivered) covering all of the Shares that such Holder is entitled to so vote, in each case to the fullest extent that such Holder’s Shares are entitled to vote: against (a) any action that would (or would be reasonably expected to) directly result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement, or of any Holder contained in this Agreement, in either case, that would result in any condition to the Offer being unsatisfied at the Expiration Time, (b) any other action, transaction, proposal, or agreement relating to the Company that would (or would reasonably be expected to) prevent, nullify or materially impede, interfere with, frustrate, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Transactions, (c) any change in the present capitalization of the Company or any amendment of the certificate of incorporation of the Company prohibited by the Merger Agreement, or (d) any Alternative Proposal. Each Holder shall retain at all times the right to vote the Shares in such Holder’s sole discretion, and without any other limitation, on any matters other than those set forth in this Section 3 that are at any time or from time to time presented for consideration to the Company’s stockholders. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall require any Holder to vote, cause to be voted or otherwise consent to any amendment to the Merger Agreement (including any schedule or exhibit thereto) or the taking of any action that could result in the amendment, modification or a waiver of a provision therein, in any such case, in a manner that (i) results in the Merger Consideration failing to include at least $53.00 in cash per Share or (ii) imposes any material restrictions or any additional conditions on the consummation of the Merger or the other Transactions or the payment of the Merger Consideration to stockholders, (iii) extends the Expiration Time (as defined below), or (iv) amends any other term or condition of the Merger Agreement that is adverse in any material respect to any Holder’s rights under the Merger Agreement.

4. Representations and Warranties of Holder. Each Holder severally and not jointly represents and warrants to Parent and Purchaser as follows:

(a) As of the date of this Agreement: (i) such Holder is the record and beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) of the number of Shares indicated opposite such Holder’s name on Schedule 1; (ii) such Holder has good and marketable title to such Shares free and clear of any Liens (other than Permitted Liens); (iii) such Holder has sole unrestricted voting power with respect to such Shares, and full power of disposition, full power to issue instructions with respect to the matters set forth herein and full power to agree to all of the matters set forth in this Agreement, in each case with respect to all of such Holder’s Shares; and (iv) none of the Shares is subject to any voting trust or other agreement, arrangement, or restriction with respect to the voting of the Shares to the extent such Shares have voting rights, except as contemplated by this Agreement.

3

(b) If applicable, such Holder is duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or constituted. If applicable, the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement are within such Holder’s entity power and have been duly authorized by all necessary entity actions on the part of such Holder. Such Holder has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver, and perform its obligations under, this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Holder.

(h) Severability. In the event that any term or other provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.

(k) Remedies. Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereto hereby agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages.

Any party’s pursuit of any injunction or specific performance at any time will not be deemed an election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other right or remedy to which such party may be entitled, including the right to pursue remedies for liabilities or damages incurred or suffered by a party in the case of a breach of this Agreement involving willful breach or fraud.

(l) Disclosure. Subject to the terms of this paragraph, each Holder consents to and shall permit the Company, Parent and Purchaser to publish and disclose in all documents and schedules filed with the SEC or other Governmental Authority, and any press release or other disclosure document, or any other disclosure document in connection with the Offer, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement that, in each case, Parent or Purchaser reasonably determines to be necessary in connection with the Merger, the Offer, the Offer Documents, and any other Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, relating solely to such Holder’s identity and ownership of Shares and the nature of such Holder’s commitments, arrangements, and understandings under this Agreement.

(n) Directors and Officers. Each Holder signs this Agreement solely in such Holder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company, and not, if applicable, in such Holder’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall in any way limit or restrict a Holder, or any Affiliate, director, officer, partner, employee or designee of a Holder, who is a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the taking of any actions (or failure to act) in his or her capacity or fulfilling the obligations of such office, in the exercise of his or her fiduciary duties or prevent or be construed to create any obligation on the part of any director or officer of the Company from taking any action in his or her capacity as such, including by voting, in his or her capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries’, in a Holder’s, or its Affiliates’, employee’s or designee’s, sole discretion on any matter, and no action taken in any such capacity as an officer or director of the Company shall constitute a breach of this Agreement.

(o) Non-Recourse. All Legal Proceedings (whether in Contract or in tort, in law or in equity) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution, performance or non-performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) may be made by any party hereto only against the Persons that are expressly identified as parties hereto or thereto.

The parties acknowledge and agree that the Non-Party Affiliates are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 9(o). Nothing in this Agreement precludes the parties or any Non-Party Affiliates from exercising any rights, and nothing in this Agreement shall limit the liability or obligations of any Non-Party Affiliates, in each case under the Merger Agreement or any other agreement to which they are specifically a party or an express third party beneficiary thereof. This Section 9(o) is subject to, and does not alter the scope or application of, Section 9(j).

(p) Expenses. All fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party or parties, as applicable, incurring such expenses, whether or not the Offer and the Merger are consummated.

(q) No Ownership Interest.

Exhibit 99.1

Neurocrine to Acquire Soleno Therapeutics, Expanding Its Endocrinology and Rare Disease Portfolio

VYKAT^TM XR (diazoxide choline) is the First and Only FDA Approved Treatment for Hyperphagia in

Prader-Willi Syndrome and Represents a Transformative Therapy

Expands Neurocrine’s High-Growth Commercial Portfolio to Three First-in-Class Medicines Including

INGREZZA^® (valbenazine) and CRENESSITY^® (crinecerfont)

Establishes a Durable Platform for Long-Term Revenue Growth and Value Creation, Supported by Strong

VYKAT XR Intellectual Property Estate Expected to Extend into the mid-2040s

Neurocrine to Host Conference Call at 8:00 AM ET Today to Discuss Transaction

SAN DIEGO and REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Apr. 6, 2026 – Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: NBIX) and Soleno Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SLNO) today announced that Neurocrine has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Soleno for $53.00 per share in cash, representing a total transaction equity value of $2.9 billion.

The acquisition of Soleno and the addition of VYKAT^TM XR (diazoxide choline), a first-in-class therapy to treat hyperphagia, the defining feature of Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), will expand Neurocrine’s portfolio of innovative medicines and strengthen its leadership position in endocrinology and rare disease. Since its FDA approval and successful U.S. launch in the second quarter of 2025, VYKAT XR has demonstrated strong early adoption, generating $190 million in 2025 revenue, including $92 million for Soleno in the fourth quarter alone. When supported by Neurocrine’s medical and commercial infrastructure, VYKAT XR is expected to continue to improve care for patients with PWS while delivering long-term value to Neurocrine shareholders following the close of the transaction.

“This transaction will advance Neurocrine’s mission to deliver life-changing treatments while accelerating our revenue growth and portfolio diversification strategy. We share the Soleno team’s deep commitment to the Prader-Willi syndrome community and look forward to leveraging our experience and capabilities to expand VYKAT XR’s reach to benefit more patients, while further strengthening Neurocrine’s leadership in delivering transformative medicines,” said Kyle W. Gano, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer, Neurocrine Biosciences. “We congratulate Soleno on developing and launching VYKAT XR, showing strong results in a complex disease and enabling broad utilization with a clear label, and we look forward to working together to continue to help patients in need.”

“Neurocrine is the right strategic partner to expand the reach of VYKAT XR in the Prader-Willi syndrome community given their experience in endocrinology and rare disease and their proven ability to execute successful commercial launches. We are excited to accelerate VYKAT XR’s impact for PWS patients following completion of the transaction by leveraging Neurocrine’s strong commercial capabilities,” said Anish Bhatnagar, M.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Soleno.

PWS is a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder caused by an abnormality in gene expression on chromosome 15 that affects about 10,000 patients in the United States. The disease is characterized by neurological, behavioral, and metabolic dysfunction. Its defining feature is hyperphagia, a chronic, life-threatening condition marked by a persistent hunger that drives compulsive, food-seeking behavior. Individuals with PWS also commonly experience cognitive impairment and a range of psychiatric and behavioral challenges. Together, these symptoms can severely diminish quality of life for individuals with PWS and their families, with hyperphagia driving significant morbidity and mortality.

Strategic Rationale and Financial Benefits of the Transaction

The transaction is expected to:

Transaction Terms and Financing

Under the terms of the merger agreement, Neurocrine, through a subsidiary, will commence a cash tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Soleno’s common stock at a price of $53.00 per share, representing a premium of approximately 34% to Soleno’s closing share price on April 2, 2026, and a premium of 51% to Soleno’s 30-day volume-weighted average price (VWAP). The consummation of the tender offer is subject to customary closing conditions, including the tender of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Soleno, the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, and other customary conditions. Following the successful completion of the tender offer, a wholly owned subsidiary of Neurocrine will merge with Soleno and the outstanding Soleno shares not tendered in the tender offer will be converted into the right to receive the same $53.00 per share in cash paid in the tender offer. The transaction will be funded with cash on hand and Neurocrine plans to optimize its capital structure by taking on a modest amount of pre-payable debt. The transaction is not subject to any financing condition.

The boards of directors of both companies have approved the transaction, which is expected to close within 90 days of this announcement, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals.

About PWS

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder caused by an abnormality in the gene expression on chromosome 15. The Prader-Willi Syndrome Association USA estimates that PWS occurs in one in every 15,000 live births. The defining symptom of PWS is hyperphagia, a chronic and life-threatening condition characterized by an intense persistent sensation of hunger accompanied by food

preoccupations, an extreme drive to consume food, food-related behavior problems, and a lack of normal satiety, which can severely diminish the quality of life for individuals with PWS and their families. Hyperphagia can lead to significant mortality (e.g., stomach rupture, choking, accidental death due to food-seeking behavior) and longer term, co-morbidities such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease.

INDICATION

VYKAT XR (diazoxide choline) extended-release tablets is indicated for the treatment of hyperphagia in adults and pediatric patients 4 years of age and older with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Contraindications

Use of VYKAT XR is contraindicated in patients who have a known hypersensitivity to diazoxide, other components of VYKAT XR, or to thiazides.

Warnings and Precautions

Hyperglycemia

Hyperglycemia, including diabetic ketoacidosis, has been reported. Before initiating VYKAT XR, test fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and HbA1c; optimize blood glucose in patients who have hyperglycemia. During treatment, regularly monitor fasting glucose (FPG or fasting blood glucose) and HbA1c. Monitor fasting glucose more frequently during the first few weeks of treatment in patients with risk factors for hyperglycemia.

Risk of Fluid Overload

Edema, including severe reactions associated with fluid overload, has been reported. Monitor for signs or symptoms of edema or fluid overload. VYKAT XR has not been studied in patients with compromised cardiac reserve and should be used with caution in these patients.

Adverse Reactions

The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥10% and at least 2% greater than placebo) included hypertrichosis, edema, hyperglycemia, and rash.
