Jake Simson - 09 Aug 2023 Form 4 Insider Report for DICE Therapeutics, Inc.

Footnote F1

On June 18, 2023, DICE Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer" or the "Company") entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), with Eli Lilly and Company, an Indiana corporation (the "Parent"), and Durning Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent (the "Merger Sub"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (such merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the "Merger") with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent.

Footnote F2

(Continued from Footnote 1) Upon the closing (the "Closing") of the Merger on August 9, 2023, each share of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common Stock"), was either (x) purchased for $48.00 per share (the "Offer Price"), without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes or (y) automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash without interest, equal to the Offer Price, less any applicable withholding taxes. Immediately prior to the Closing, any repurchase rights of the Company or other similar restrictions on the Common Stock fully lapsed and all Common Stock became fully vested.

Footnote F3

The Company's Stock Option (the "Option") is fully vested and exercisable.

Footnote F4

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each Option to purchase shares of Common Stock that was outstanding but not vested as of immediately prior to the Closing (the "Unvested Option"), became fully vested and exercisable (the "Vested Option"). Each Vested Option was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, less any applicable tax withholding, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the excess, if any, of the Offer Price over the exercise price per share of Common Stock underlying such Option by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Option. Except if the exercise price per share of Common Stock of the Option was equal to or greater than the Offer Price, such Option was cancelled without any cash payment or other consideration being made in respect thereof.

Footnote F5

Under the Reporting Holder's arrangement with RA Capital Management, L.P. (the "Adviser"), the Reporting Holder holds the stock option for the benefit of the RA Capital Healthcare Fund, L.P. (the "Fund") and the RA Capital Nexus Fund II, L.P. (the "Nexus Fund II"). The Reporting Holder is obligated to turn over to the Adviser any net cash or stock received upon exercise of the stock option, which will offset advisory fees owed by the Fund and the Nexus Fund II. The Reporting Holder therefore disclaims beneficial ownership of the stock option and underlying Common Stock.
