Item 8. Additional Information

Item 8 of the Schedule 14D-9 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

The following paragraphs replace in its entirety the paragraph under the heading “—Legal Proceedings” on page 44:

“In connection with the Offer and Merger Agreement, three complaints have been filed as individual actions in the United States District Courts. Certain demand letters have also been sent to POINT by purported stockholders making similar allegations.

On October 24, 2023, a purported POINT stockholder filed a complaint against POINT and each member of the POINT Board in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, captioned Clark v. POINT Biopharma Global Inc., et al., Case No. 1:23-cv-01207-UNA (the “Clark Complaint”). On October 25, 2023, a purported POINT stockholder filed a complaint against POINT and each member of the POINT Board in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, captioned Jones v. POINT Biopharma Global Inc., et al., Case No. 1:23-cv-01213-UNA (the “Jones Complaint”). On October 25, 2023, a purported POINT stockholder filed a complaint against POINT and each member of the POINT Board in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Trinh v. POINT Biopharma Global Inc., et al., Case No. 1:23-cv-09394 (the “Trinh Complaint” and, together with the Clark Complaint and the Jones Complaint, the “Complaints”).

The Complaints allege, among other things, violations of Sections 14(d) and 14(e) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14d-9 thereunder against all defendants and violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the individual defendants. The plaintiffs contend that the Schedule 14D-9 omitted and/or misrepresented material information regarding the Transactions. The Complaints seek injunctive relief preventing the consummation of the Transactions, rescissory damages or rescission to the extent the Transactions are consummated, an order directing the individual defendants to file a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 that does not contain any untrue statements of material fact, an award of plaintiff’s expenses including attorneys’ fees and expenses, and such other relief the court may deem just and proper.

POINT believes the claims asserted in the Complaints are without merit.

The outcome of the matters described above cannot be predicted with certainty. Additional lawsuits may be filed against POINT, the POINT Board, Lilly and/or Purchaser in connection with the Merger Agreement, the Transactions, the Schedule TO and the Schedule 14D-9. If additional similar complaints are filed, absent new or different allegations that are material, POINT, Lilly and/or Purchaser will not necessarily announce such additional complaints.”
