Notice to Investors

The tender offer (the “Offer”) for the outstanding common stock of Longboard referred to in this filing and related exhibits has not yet commenced. The description contained in this filing and related exhibits is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities, nor is it a substitute for the tender offer materials that Parent and its acquisition subsidiary will file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The solicitation and offer to buy the common stock of Longboard will only be made pursuant to an offer to purchase and related tender offer materials. At the time the Offer is commenced, Parent will file a tender offer statement on Schedule TO and thereafter Longboard will file a solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC with respect to the Offer. THE TENDER OFFER MATERIALS (INCLUDING AN OFFER TO PURCHASE, A RELATED LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND CERTAIN OTHER OFFER DOCUMENTS) AND THE SOLICITATION/RECOMMENDATION STATEMENT ON SCHEDULE 14D-9 WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. ANY HOLDERS OF SHARES ARE URGED TO READ THESE DOCUMENTS CAREFULLY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT HOLDERS SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE MAKING ANY DECISION REGARDING TENDERING THEIR SHARES. The offer to purchase, the related letter of transmittal and the solicitation/recommendation statement will be made available for free at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Free copies of the offer to purchase, the related letter of transmittal and certain other offering documents will be made available by Parent and when available may be obtained by directing a request to the Information Agent for the tender offer which will be named in the Schedule TO. Copies of the documents filed with the SEC by Longboard will be available free of charge on Longboard’s internet website at https://ir.longboardpharma.com/financial-information/sec-filings or by contacting Longboard’s investor relations contact at [email protected].
