This Amendment No. 3 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 13, 2023 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Schedule TO”) and relates to the offer by Shenandoah Acquisition Corporation (the “Purchaser”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eli Lilly and Company, an Indiana corporation (“Lilly”), to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), of Sigilon Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sigilon”), in exchange for (a) $14.92 per Share, net to the stockholder in cash, without interest and less any applicable tax withholding, plus (b) one non-tradable contingent value right (“CVR”) per Share, which

represents the contractual right to receive contingent payments of up to $111.64 per CVR, net to the stockholder in cash, without interest and less any applicable tax withholding, upon the achievement of certain specified milestones in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of a contingent value rights agreement to be entered into with a rights agent selected by Lilly and reasonably acceptable to Sigilon, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated July 13, 2023 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with the Offer to Purchase, each as amended or supplemented from time to time, collectively constitute the “Offer”), 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 respective meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.

Items 1 through 9 and Item 11.

The Offer to Purchase and Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

“The Offer and related withdrawal rights expired as scheduled at one minute past 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 9, 2023, and was not extended (such date and time, the “Expiration Time”). The Depositary has advised Purchaser that, as of the Expiration Time, 1,718,493 Shares had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, representing 68.23% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of the Expiration Time, and together with the 211,110 Shares owned by Lilly, 76.61% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of the Expiration Time. Accordingly, the Minimum Tender Condition has been satisfied. Lilly and Purchaser have accepted for payment, and will promptly pay for, all Shares that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer prior to the Expiration Time.

Lilly expects to consummate the Merger on August 11, 2023, in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, the Merger Agreement.

Following the consummation of the Merger, all Shares will be delisted from Nasdaq and deregistered under the Exchange Act.”
