The Materials may not reflect information known to other professionals in other business areas of Lincoln and its affiliates. The preparation of the Materials was a complex process involving quantitative and qualitative judgments and determinations with respect to the financial, comparative, and other analytic methods employed and the adaption and application of these methods to the unique facts and circumstances presented and, therefore, is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Furthermore, Lincoln did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor considered by it, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. Each analytical technique has inherent strengths and weaknesses, and the nature of the available information may further affect the value of particular techniques. Accordingly, the analyses contained in these Materials must be considered as a whole. Selecting portions of the analyses, analytic methods and factors without considering all analyses and factors could create a misleading or incomplete view. The Materials reflect judgments and assumptions with regard to industry performance, general business, economic, regulatory, market, financial conditions, and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of the participants in the Transaction. Any estimates of value contained in the Materials are not necessarily indicative of actual value or predictive of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable. Any analyses relating to the value of assets, businesses, or securities do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which any assets, businesses, or securities may actually be sold. The Materials do not constitute a fairness opinion, solvency opinion, valuation opinion, credit rating, an analysis of the Company’s credit worthiness, tax advice, or accounting advice. The Materials do not address any other terms, aspects, or implications of the Transaction, or any agreements, arrangements, or understandings entered into in connection with the Transaction or otherwise. Furthermore, the Materials do not address the fairness of any portion or aspect of the Transaction to any party. In preparing the Materials, Lincoln has not conducted any physical inspection or independent appraisal or evaluation of any of the assets, properties, or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of the Company or any other party. No company utilized in our selected public companies analysis or selected M&A transactions analysis is directly comparable to the Company. 2

Executive Summary Valuation Analysis Methodology Overview Methodology ▪ Lincoln estimated the enterprise value of the Company utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis and analyzed the valuation multiples of enterprise value to EBITDA and revenue of the selected public companies and selected M&A transactions to support the terminal value estimate in the DCF analysis. ▪ Lincoln did not utilize a market approach as a direct valuation method due to the business model transition the company is currently pursuing, the result of which is declining financial performance through the end of 2023 before growth accelerates following over-the-counter launch in 2024. ▪ Present value of projected unlevered free cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with risk Discounted Cash Flow Analysis (“DCF”)▪ Key inputs include the Management Projections, discount rate, and terminal value assumptions (Income Approach) ▪ Captures value associated with projected long-term free cash flow generating ability of the Company ▪ Selected Public Companies Analysis ‒ “Public market valuation” ‒ Estimated value based on market trading multiples of selected public companies using comparisons of various attributes (financial performance, capital requirements, intellectual property, geographic footprint, customer base, etc.) Market Approach ▪ M&A Transactions Analysis ‒ Estimated value based on multiples for selected companies in change of control transactions ‒ Valuation multiple includes premium for control; generally computed based on historical financial performance (i.e., LTM earnings) due to lack of available financial forecasts in public domain ▪ Lincoln used the estimated enterprise value to derive the estimated equity value of the Company by adding cash and equivalents and subtracting debt and debt-like items and adjusting for certain non-operating assets and liabilities. The resulting estimated equity value was divided by fully- diluted shares outstanding which included outstanding warrants, options and restricted stock units calculated using the treasury stock method. ▪ Lincoln then compared the resulting estimated value per share range to the Merger Consideration. ▪ In order for the Company to achieve the Management Projections and remain a going concern, it will require additional capital. Absent the ability to raise such capital, the Company would require a restructuring or face a liquidation in which case its enterprise value and equity value would be diminished. 8

Section 2 Valuation Analysis


Valuation Analysis Historical and Projected Financial Statements ▪ Based on discussions with Management, the Company expects to wind down its doctor prescribed channel in FY2023 and transition entirely to an over-the-counter model in FY2024 following FDA approval which is expected later this year. ▪ Management expects both gross margin and EBITDA margin expansion throughout the forecast period in part due to increased utilization of existing production capacity and incremental operating leverage of fixed costs. ▪ The Company expects an increase in capital expenditures in FY2026 and FY2027 to invest in new production lines at its existing Italian facility to meet expected volume demands. ▪ Net working capital includes elevated inventory balances in FY2026 to FY2027, based on the Company’s production timing and production line utilization.

Valuation Analysis DCF Analysis - Key Assumptions ▪ As part of its valuation analysis, Lincoln performed a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis utilizing the Management Projections. The Management Projections assume that the Company is able to raise capital in the near term and will continue to operate as a going-concern. ▪ The following is a summary of the DCF analysis: ‒ Revenue is projected to decline 82.2% in FY2023 as the company transitions entirely to an over-the-counter model, then increases at a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 141.0% over the FY2023 through FY2028 period; ‒ EBITDA is projected to become positive in FY2026, reaching a long-term EBITDA margin of 24.4% in FY2028; ‒ Total capital expenditures are projected to average 8.4% of revenue over the FY2023 through FY2028 period primarily reflecting maintenance spend on existing production lines and investment in a new production line in FY2026 and FY2027; and ‒ Pro forma cash taxes were calculated based on a 26.0% tax rate, provided by Management. ▪ Beyond the projection period, Lincoln estimated the continuing value of the Company (the “Terminal Value”) by capitalizing the normalized free cash flow (“FCF”) with the Terminal Value discount rate (“Discount Rate – Terminal”) less the terminal growth rate of 0.00%: ‒ Lincoln considered that Gelesis is expected to have lower revenue growth in the years following FY2028 in comparison to the revenue growth in the Management Projections due the beginning of certain patent expirations; and ‒ The Discount Rate – Terminal of 12.25% was derived using a capital asset pricing model and the Terminal Value was supported by the implied terminal EBITDA multiples. ▪ Lincoln then calculated the present value of the Discrete Cash Flows and the Terminal Value: ‒ The present value of the discrete cash flows and Terminal Value were calculated using a discount rate range of 32.5% to 37.5% based on estimated rates of return for venture and expansion stage companies. Specifically, the discount rate range is intended to capture the high degree of risk associated with Gelesis' business model transition and the high level of growth inherent in the Management Projections; and ‒ The discount rate range was selected giving consideration to market based and company specific risks, including the transition to an over-the- counter strategy, and was based on the application of Lincoln’s professional judgment and experience.
