Litigation
On July 25, 2024, Joseph Zappia, a purported stockholder of Morphic, filed a complaint in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of California against Morphic, the individual members of the Morphic Board, the Purchaser and Lilly, captioned Zappia v. Morphic Holding, Inc., et. al., Case No. 3:24-cv-04486 (the Zappia Complaint). The Zappia Complaint alleges, among other things, that Morphic and the members of the Morphic Board violated Sections 14(e) of the Exchange Act by failing to
disclose certain supposedly material information in the Schedule 14D-9 filed by Morphic on July 19, 2024 in connection with the Transactions, which they allege rendered the Schedule 14D-9 false and misleading. In addition, the Zappia Complaint alleges that members of the Morphic Board acted as controlling persons of Morphic within the meaning and in violation of Section 20(a) of the
Exchange Act to influence and control the dissemination of the allegedly defective Solicitation/Recommendation Statement. The Zappia Complaint seeks, among other things: an order enjoining the consummation of the Transactions; revisions to the
Schedule 14D-9; rescission of the Transactions if they have already been consummated and rescissory damages; and an award of plaintiffs costs, including reasonable allowance for attorneys fees and
experts fees.
On August 1, 2024, Susan Finger, a purported stockholder of Morphic, filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of
the State of New York against Morphic and the individual members of the Morphic Board, captioned Finger v. Morphic Holding, Inc., et. al., Case No. 653866/2024 (the Finger Complaint). The Finger Complaint alleges, among other things,
claims of negligent misrepresentation and concealment and negligence against Morphic and the members of the Morphic Board under New York common law in connection with alleged failures to disclose certain supposedly material information regarding the
Transactions in the Schedule 14D-9 filed by Morphic on July 19, 2024 in connection with the Transactions. The Finger Complaint seeks, among other things: an order enjoining the defendants from
consummating the Transactions; revisions to the Schedule 14D-9; rescission of the Transactions if they have already been consummated or actual and punitive damages; and an award of plaintiffs costs,
including reasonable allowance for attorneys and experts fees and expenses.
