Enclosed for your consideration are the Offer to Purchase, dated August 1, 2025 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related Letter of Transmittal (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Letter of Transmittal” and, together with the Offer to Purchase, the “Offer”) in connection with the offer by Concentra Biosciences, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent” or “Purchaser”), to purchase, subject to certain conditions, all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), of iTeos Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“iTeos”), for: (i) $10.047 per Share in cash (the “Cash Amount”); plus (ii) one non-transferable contractual contingent value right for each Share (each, a “CVR,” and each CVR together with the Cash Amount, the “Offer Price”), all upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal.
Also enclosed is iTeos’ Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9.
We or our nominees are the holder of record of Shares held for your account. A tender of such Shares can be made only by us as the holder of record and pursuant to your instructions.
The Letter of Transmittal accompanying this letter is furnished to you for your information only and cannot be used by you to tender Shares held by us for your account.
We request instructions as to whether you wish us to tender any or all of the Shares held by us for your account, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the enclosed Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal.

Please note carefully the following:
1.
The Offer Price for the Offer is (i) $10.047 per Share in cash plus (ii) one non-transferable contractual contingent value right for each Share, in each case, to be paid net to you of any applicable tax withholding and without interest.
2.
The Offer is being made for all outstanding Shares.
3.
The Offer is being made pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 18, 2025 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Merger Agreement”), among iTeos, Parent and Concentra Merger Sub VIII, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser, pursuant to which, after the completion of the Offer and the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, Merger Sub will be merged with and into iTeos, without a meeting or any further action of the iTeos stockholders in accordance with Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), and iTeos will be the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (such corporation, the “Surviving Corporation” and such merger, the “Merger”).
4.
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to iTeos’ willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Tang Capital Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“TCP” or “Guarantor”) and sole member of Parent, delivered to iTeos a duly executed limited guaranty (the “Limited Guaranty”), dated as of the date of the Merger Agreement, in favor of iTeos, in respect of certain obligations of Parent and Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement and the CVR Agreement.

No appraisal rights are available to the holders of record or beneficial owners of Shares in connection with the Offer.
However, if the Offer is successful and the Merger is consummated, stockholders of record or beneficial owners of Shares who: (i) did not tender their Shares in the Offer (or who had tendered but subsequently validly withdrawn such tender, and not otherwise waived their appraisal rights); (ii) otherwise comply with the applicable requirements and procedures of Section 262 of the DGCL; and (iii) do not thereafter withdraw their demand for appraisal of such Shares or otherwise lose their appraisal rights, in each case in accordance with the DGCL, will be entitled to demand appraisal of their Shares and receive in lieu of the consideration payable in the Merger a cash payment equal to the “fair value” of their Shares, as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL. If you choose to exercise your appraisal rights in connection with the Merger and you properly demand and perfect such rights in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, you may be entitled to payment for your Shares based on a judicial determination of the fair value of your Shares plus interest, if any, on the amount determined to be fair value.
6.
On July 18, 2025, the iTeos board of directors (the “iTeos Board”) held a meeting at which the iTeos Board unanimously: (i) determined that the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the CVR Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”) are fair to, and in the best interests of, iTeos and iTeos’ stockholders (other than Parent and its affiliates); (ii) duly authorized and approved the execution, delivery and performance by iTeos of the Merger Agreement and the consummation by iTeos of the Transactions; (iii) declared that the execution, delivery and performance by iTeos of the Merger agreement and the consummation by iTeos of the Transactions were advisable; (iv) declared that the Merger Agreement and the Merger shall be governed by and effected under Section 251(h) of the DGCL and that the Merger shall be consummated as soon as practicable following the Offer Closing Time; and (v) recommended that iTeos’ stockholders accept the Offer and tender their Shares in the Offer.

8.
The Offer is not subject to any financing conditions. The Offer is conditioned on, among other things, there being, as of the Offer Closing Time, validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer a number of Shares that, together with all Shares (if any) otherwise owned by Purchaser or any of its and its “affiliates” (as defined in Section 251(h)(6)(a) of the DGCL), would represent at least one Share more than 50% of the total number of Shares issued and outstanding at the Offer Closing Time. The Offer is also subject to customary conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and described in Section 9 of the Offer to Purchase.
