The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including Schedule I thereto, is incorporated by reference herein in response to Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of the Schedule TO, and the information in the Offer to Purchase and Letter of
Transmittal is supplemented by the information specifically provided in this Amendment.
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase or in the Schedule TO.
The Offer to Purchase, Letter of Transmittal and Items 3 and 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended as follows.
Item 3. Procedures for Accepting the Offer and Tendering Shares.
The information set forth under the heading “Procedures for Accepting the Offer and Tendering Shares” of the Offer to Purchase and Item 3 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Item incorporates by reference the information contained in the Offer
to Purchase, is amended and supplemented by replacing the third bullet point under the heading “Guaranteed Delivery” on page 18 of the Offer to Purchase with the following bullet point:
|
|
●
|
“the following must be received by the Depositary at one of its addresses set forth in the Letter of Transmittal within two trading days after the date of execution of such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery: (A) if Shares being tendered are
certificated, (1) the Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, (2) Share Certificates evidencing such Shares, in proper form for transfer, and (3) any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, (B) if Shares
being tendered are uncertificated and held in book-entry form with Dova’s transfer agent, (1) the Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, and (2) any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal and (C) if Shares
are being tendered by book-entry transfer, (1) a Book-Entry Confirmation, (2) the Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, or an Agent’s Message and (3) any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal.”

Item 11. Additional Information.
The information set forth under the heading “Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals” of the Offer to Purchase and Item 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Item incorporates by reference the information contained in the Offer to
Purchase, is amended and supplemented by adding the following sentences to the second paragraph under the heading “United States Antitrust Compliance” on page 56 of the Offer to Purchase:
“On October 25, 2019, the FTC granted early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. Accordingly, the Regulatory Condition to the Offer relating to the receipt of approval, expiration or termination of the mandatory waiting period
under the HSR Act has been satisfied.”
The information set forth under the heading “Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals” of the Offer to Purchase and Item 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Item incorporates by reference the information contained in the Offer to
Purchase, is amended and supplemented by replacing the paragraph under the heading “Litigation” on page 58 of the Offer to Purchase with the following paragraphs:
“Litigation. Between October 14, 2019 and October 31, 2019, four stockholder actions were filed in federal court (captioned Wang v. Dova Pharm., Inc., et al., No.
19-cv-01944-UNA (D. Del. filed Oct. 14, 2019); Wheby v. Dova Pharm., Inc., et al., No. 19-cv-01981-UNA (D. Del. filed Oct. 18, 2019) (filed on behalf of putative
class) (the “Wheby Complaint”); Hurd v. Dova Pharm., Inc. et al., No. 19-cv-09708 (S.D.N.Y. filed Oct. 21, 2019); and Katz v. Dova Pharm., Inc. et al., No.
19-cv-10147 (S.D.N.Y. filed Oct. 31, 2019) (collectively, the “Complaints”)) against Dova and the Dova Board related to the Offer. The Wheby Complaint also named Sobi and Purchaser as defendants. The Complaints assert violations of Sections
14(e) & (d) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14d-9 promulgated thereunder. Plaintiffs contend that Dova’s Schedule 14D-9, filed on October 11, 2019, omitted or misrepresented material information regarding the Offer. The Complaints seek,
among other things, injunctive relief, rescission or rescissory damages, and an award of plaintiffs’ respective costs, including attorneys’ fees and expenses.
The defendants believe the allegations and claims asserted in the Complaints are without merit and that the disclosures in the Schedule 14D-9 comply fully with applicable law. We cannot predict the outcome of, or estimate the possible loss or
range of loss from, these matters. It is possible that additional, similar complaints may be filed or the Complaints will be amended. If this occurs, we do not intend to announce the filing of each additional, similar complaint or any amended
complaint unless it contains allegations that are substantially distinct from those made in the pending actions described above.”
Letter of Transmittal.
The information set forth in the Letter of Transmittal is amended and supplemented by replacing the second paragraph under the heading “Delivery of Letter of Transmittal and Certificates or Book-Entry Confirmations” on page 9 of the Letter of
Transmittal with the following paragraph:
“Stockholders whose Share Certificates are not immediately available or who cannot deliver all other required documents to the Depositary prior to the Expiration Date or who cannot complete the procedures for book-entry transfer prior to the
Expiration Date may nevertheless tender their Shares by properly completing and duly executing a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedure set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase. Pursuant to such procedure:
(a) such tender must be made by or through an Eligible Institution, (b) a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery substantially in the form provided by Purchaser must be received by the Depositary prior to the Expiration
Date, and (c) Share Certificates representing all tendered Shares, in proper form for transfer (or a Book-Entry Confirmation with respect to such Shares), this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), properly completed and duly executed with
any required signature guarantees (or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agent’s Message), and all other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, if any, must be received by the Depositary within two NASDAQ Global Select Market
trading days after the date of execution of such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.”
