Email to employees

 

Dear Team,

 

A few moments ago, it was announced (link to press release) that POINT Biopharma Global Inc. has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Lilly, one of the largest and most well-respected pharmaceutical companies in the world. As the news sinks in and the details are explained, I hope that you will come to feel as excited about our next chapter as I am. We are now better positioned than ever to become a world leader in next-generation radioligand therapies.

 

Lilly has been interested in new cancer fighting platform technologies that can serve as the foundation for its oncology growth strategy, including radiopharmaceuticals. POINT’s team, infrastructure and capabilities stood out as truly unique in the industry, and discussions led to today’s announcement.

 

This sale to Lilly was carefully considered by our leadership team and Board of Directors with advice from external professionals. POINT will benefit from Lilly’s resources, expertise and global reach to accelerate the discovery, development and global access to radiopharmaceuticals.

 

I’m sure that you will have many questions about how this news impacts POINT as well as you personally. We will do everything we can to provide information as it becomes available. To begin with, we will be hosting an All-Employees Town Hall this morning at 11am ET.

 

There will be many more opportunities for you to ask questions ahead of the deal closing, which is expected to occur prior to the end of this year. In addition, I have created an email address – questions@pointbiopharma.com – to which you can submit questions at any time, and either myself or the appropriate person will respond. Finally, a member of Lilly’s Oncology team will be joining us at a future Town Hall, and I know they look forward to speaking to you directly.

 

Thank you for all of your efforts. In under four years, we have taken just an idea – that radioligand therapy can be a new pillar of cancer care – to reality. In the future, patients all over the world can benefit from receiving new and innovative treatment options, which will only exist because of all your work. For that, I am incredibly proud, and I thank you all for your past and future contributions to this amazing journey. Thank you, and I look forward to celebrating with you all soon.

 

Sincerely,

Joe

Exhibit 99.2

 

Employee FAQ

 

1.What was announced today?

 

·Lilly and POINT Biopharma Global Inc. (“POINT”) announced an agreement for the acquisition of POINT for $12.50 per share, or approximately $1.4 billion.

 

2.Why does Lilly want to acquire POINT?

 

·Lilly was looking for opportunities to expand the breadth of its oncology portfolio and recognized POINT’s leadership in the discovery, development and global access to next-generation radioligand therapies for cancer treatment, something which Lilly does not do today.

 

3.Will POINT Biopharma continue to operate independently as a wholly owned subsidiary of Lilly? How will this transaction impact POINT employees?

 

·Integration planning is in process. That said, it is very important to leadership and our Board that all of POINT’s employees are treated well in this transition. For the time being, we need to do our best to remain focused on our day-to-day work, keeping in mind the same patient focus that has driven everything we have done to date. Remember, a key reason for the acquisition of POINT was to acquire the teams that made POINT what it is today.

 

4.When will we receive more information on timelines and integration plans?

 

·Integration planning is in process, and we expect further clarity in the coming weeks.

 

5.Does Lilly have operations in Canada? Will I need to relocate, or work out of Lilly’s offices?

 

·Lilly does have offices in Canada, and many employees of Loxo@Lilly, part of Lilly’s oncology division, work remotely. POINT will continue to operate as a hybrid remote/in-office company, in Canada and the United States.

 

6.What happens with our benefits following the deal close?

 

·Integration planning is in process. Although no changes to benefits are currently contemplated, we expect further clarity over the coming weeks.

 

7.What will happen to my stock options?

 

·All current POINT stock options will be fully (100%) vested at the closing of the transaction and option holders will generally be cashed out in the transaction. This generally means that, shortly following the closing of the transaction, option holders will receive in cash the purchase price of $12.50 per share less the stock option exercise price per share, tax withholdings and required deductions for each option share held. Employees will not be required to purchase their option shares by a cash payment. Certain Canadian option holders will be subject to a separate process. More specifics on this process will be provided in the coming weeks. Please consult your tax advisor to address your personal situation.

 

 

 

 

8.Will we receive our full 2023 bonuses?

 

·Every employee of POINT will receive 100% of your target 2023 short term incentive bonus payment, subject to your continued employment through the remainder of 2023 and until the payment date, which we expect further clarity over the coming weeks.

 

9.But as an employee who joined POINT after October 1st, 2022, I have not yet received any Long-Term Incentive (LTI) grants?

 

·Employees who joined POINT between October 1st, 2022, and August 31st, 2023, who have yet to be granted stock options will receive a special cash payment at closing, subject to your continued employment. We expect further clarity over the coming weeks.

 

10.When will the tender offer and transaction become final?

 

·We currently anticipate that the tender offer and acquisition will be completed prior to the end of this year, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including the tender of a majority of the outstanding shares of POINT’s common stock. In addition, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is required to approve the transfer of some of POINT’s licenses.

 

11.What happens between now and close?

 

·Between the signing and closing, POINT and Lilly remain separate independent companies and POINT will continue to run its business as usual. Under federal law, POINT and Lilly are restricted from engaging in joint operations until the transaction has been completed. We may need to discuss certain exceptional or unusual commitments, but it is basically business as usual.

 

12.What happens to our agreement with Lantheus?

 

·Our agreement with Lantheus is not impacted by today’s announcement. Lantheus continues to remain the commercialization partner for both PNT2002 and PNT2003 with POINT providing commercial supply. All joint steering committees and activities will continue as planned.

 

 

 

 

13.What changes will be made to the current POINT organizational structure or corporate goals?

 

·Integration planning is in process, and we expect further clarity in the coming weeks. We will continue to be focused on our 2023 corporate goals and deliverables, just as we were as an independent company, and POINT will continue to run its business as usual.

 

14.When will more information about the transaction and the background to the transaction be available?

 

·Lilly will initiate the tender offer process with a public filing of a tender offer document, and POINT will make its own public filing at the same time. Please review these documents for additional information about the transaction and the background to the transaction.

 

15.When will we receive more information on the timelines and integration plans?

 

·We will work with Lilly to plan more detailed communications. While many details will be shared immediately following the closing, we will share updates (as appropriate) in the coming weeks.
