Except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, the information set forth in the Schedule TO and the Offer to Purchase 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 Offer to Purchase.
Items 1 through 9 and Item 11.
The disclosure in 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, is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The information set forth in Section 13—“The Transaction Documents” of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended by deleting the first sentence of the first paragraph under the section entitled “—The Merger Agreement—Regulatory Undertakings” on page 38 and replacing it with the following sentence:
“Each of Parent, Purchaser and RayzeBio have agreed to use their respective reasonable best efforts to as soon as practicable (but in no event later than 20 business days after the date of the Merger Agreement, unless each of Parent and RayzeBio’s respective outside counsels mutually agree to a later date) (such date, the “HSR Filing Date”) make an appropriate filing with each of (i) the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) of all notification and report forms relating to the Transactions as required by the HSR Act, which filings each of Parent and RayzeBio made on January 25, 2024, and (ii) the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the “NRC”) and the California Department of Public Health (the “CDPH”) under certain laws with respect to the regulation of nuclear and radioactive materials (“Nuclear Laws”).”
The information set forth in Section 16—“Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals” of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended by deleting the second paragraph under the section entitled “—Antitrust Approvals” on page 49 in its entirety and replacing it with the following paragraph:
“Each of Parent and RayzeBio filed a Premerger Notification and Report Form under the HSR Act with respect to the Offer and the Merger with the Antitrust Division and the FTC on January 25, 2024. The waiting period under the HSR Act expired on February 9, 2024, at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time. Accordingly, the condition to the Offer requiring that the waiting period (or any extension thereof) applicable to the Offer under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated has been satisfied. The Offer continues to be subject to the remaining conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase. See “—Section 15—Conditions to the Offer”.”
The information set forth in Section 16—“Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals” of the Offer to Purchase is hereby further amended by adding the following paragraphs at the end of the section:
Litigation
As of February 9, 2024, two complaints had been filed in federal court by purported stockholders of RayzeBio challenging certain disclosures in the Schedule 14D-9. The first complaint was filed on February 1, 2024 in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and is captioned Christopher Taylor v. RayzeBio, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:24-cv-00127-UNA. The second complaint was filed on February 5, 2024 in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and is captioned Catherine Coffman v. RayzeBio, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:24-cv-00149-UNA. The aforementioned two complaints are together referred to as the “Complaints.” The Complaints name as defendants RayzeBio and each member of the RayzeBio Board (collectively, the “RayzeBio Defendants”). The Complaints allege violations of Section 14(d) and Section 14(e) of the Exchange

Act, as well as Rule 14d-9 promulgated thereunder, against all RayzeBio Defendants and assert violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the members of the RayzeBio Board. The Complaints seek, among other relief, (i) injunctive relief preventing the consummation of the Transactions; (ii) rescission and/or rescissory damages in the event the Transactions are consummated; (iii) an award of plaintiffs’ expenses and attorneys’ fees; and (iv) disclosure of certain information requested by the plaintiffs. Each of the RayzeBio Defendants intends to vigorously defend these actions.
As of February 9, 2024, RayzeBio had also received eleven stockholder demand letters and one draft complaint, all of which generally seek that certain allegedly omitted information in the Schedule 14D-9 be disclosed.
Additional lawsuits or demand letters may be filed against or received by RayzeBio, the RayzeBio Board, Parent and/or Purchaser in connection with the Transactions, the Schedule TO and the Schedule 14D-9. If additional similar complaints are filed or demand letters received, absent new or different allegations that are material, Purchaser, Parent or RayzeBio will not necessarily announce such additional filings.”

Bristol Myers Squibb and RayzeBio Announce Expiration of HSR Act Waiting Period

PRINCETON, NJ & SAN DIEGO, CA – February 12, 2024 – Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) and RayzeBio, Inc. (Nasdaq: RYZB) today announced the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, or HSR Act, in connection with Bristol Myers Squibb’s previously announced tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of RayzeBio common stock for a purchase price of $62.50 per share in cash, or approximately $4.1 billion. The expiration of the waiting period occurred at 11:59 p.m. EST on February 9, 2024.

Expiration of the waiting period under the HSR Act satisfies one of the conditions necessary for the consummation of the transaction, including the tender offer and the merger, which remains subject to the tender of a majority of the outstanding shares of RayzeBio’s common stock, as well as other customary closing conditions. Unless the tender offer is extended, the offer will expire one minute after 11:59 p.m. New York City time, on February 22, 2024.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains “forward-looking statements” regarding, among other things, the proposed acquisition of RayzeBio by Bristol Myers Squibb. These statements may be identified by the fact they use words such as “should,” “could,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “target,” “may,” “project,” “guidance,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “will” and other words and terms of similar meaning and expression in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance, although not all forward-looking statements contain such terms. All statements that are not statements of historical facts are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. These statements are only predictions, and such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including factors that could delay, divert or change any of them, and could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from current expectations. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual results may differ materially from current expectations because of numerous risks and uncertainties including with respect to (i) the timing of the closing of the merger, (ii) the risk that the expected benefits or synergies of the proposed acquisition will not be realized, (iii) risks associated with any legal proceedings instituted related to the merger agreement, and (iv) unanticipated difficulties or expenditures relating to the proposed transaction, the response of business partners and competitors to the consummation of the proposed transaction and/or potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the consummation of the proposed transaction.
