This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2021 (together with any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”), by Panama Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., a New Jersey corporation (“Parent”), and Parent. The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), of Pandion Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pandion”), at a purchase price of $60.00 per Share (the “Offer Price”), net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any applicable tax withholding, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and in the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are attached to the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, the information set forth in the Schedule TO remains unchanged and is incorporated herein by reference to the extent relevant to the items in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.

Items 1-9; 11.

The Offer to Purchase and Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

“The Offer and related withdrawal rights expired as scheduled at one minute past 11:59 P.M., New York City Time, on March 31, 2021 (such date and time, the “Expiration Time”), and was not extended. The Depositary has advised that, as of the Expiration Time, 27,770,123 Shares had been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 88.6% of the sum of (a) all Shares then outstanding at the Expiration Date and (b) all Shares that Pandion would be required to issue upon the vesting (including vesting solely as a result of the consummation of the Offer), conversion, settlement or exercise of all then outstanding warrants, options, benefit plans, obligations or securities convertible or exchangeable into Shares or other rights to acquire or be issued Shares (including all then outstanding Pandion stock options and any outstanding warrant to purchase Shares), regardless of the conversion or exercise price or other terms and conditions thereof. Accordingly, the Minimum Condition has been satisfied. Purchaser has accepted, and has stated that it will as promptly as practicable on or after the Expiration Date pay for, all Shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer.

Following expiration of the Offer and acceptance for payment of the Shares, Purchaser had ownership sufficient to effect the Merger under Section 251(h) of the DGCL, without a vote of stockholders of Pandion. Accordingly, following completion of the Offer, Parent and Purchaser effected the Merger in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL in which Purchaser merged with and into Pandion, with Pandion surviving the Merger and continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. In the Merger, each Share outstanding (other than (i) Shares held in the treasury of Pandion or owned by Parent or Purchaser or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) Shares as to which appraisal rights have been perfected in accordance with the DGCL) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount of cash equal to the Offer Price, without interest and less any applicable tax withholding. The Shares are expected to cease to trade on Nasdaq prior to the opening of business on April 1, 2021, and will be delisted from Nasdaq and deregistered under the Exchange Act.”
