This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment No. 2”) amends and supplements the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (as further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Schedule 14D-9”) previously filed by Turning Point Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Turning Point”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 17, 2022, relating to the tender offer on Schedule TO filed with the SEC on June 17, 2022 by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, a Delaware corporation (“Bristol-Myers Squibb”) and Rhumba Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Bristol-Myers Squibb (“Purchaser”), pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 2, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Purchaser to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Turning Point, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Shares”) at an offer price of $76.00 per Share in cash, without interest, subject to any applicable withholding of taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated June 17, 2022 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal” and, together with the Offer to Purchase and other related materials, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer”).

The full text of the press release is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(viii) to Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule TO and is incorporated herein by reference.

Bristol-Myers Squibb and Purchaser expect that the Offer will be consummated promptly following the Expiration Time (as extended), subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions to the consummation of the Offer set forth in the Merger Agreement, and that the Merger will be consummated promptly following the consummation of the Offer.”
