Explanatory Note:

On February 7, 2024, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited, an Australian public limited company (“Telix”), Cyclone Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Telix (“Merger Sub I”), Cyclone Merger Sub II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct and wholly-owned subsidiary of Telix (“Merger Sub II”) and David H. Clarke, as stockholder representative to the Issuer’s stockholders, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Telix would acquire the Issuer through the merger of Merger Sub I with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Telix (“First Merger”), and as part of the same overall transaction, the Issuer will merge with and into Merger Sub II, at which time the Issuer would cease to exist and Merger Sub II will remain as the surviving corporation (“Second Merger”, collectively with First Merger, the “Merger”). On May 2, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), as disclosed in the Issuer’s public filings, the First Merger was consummated pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement.
