Introductory Note

On February 10, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Nuvation Bio Inc. (“Legacy Nuvation Bio”), Panacea Acquisition Corp. (“Panacea”) and Panacea Merger Subsidiary Corp, a wholly owned subsidiary of Panacea (“Merger Sub”), consummated the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger among them, dated October 20, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), following their approval at a special meeting of the stockholders of Panacea held on February 9, 2021 (the “Special Meeting”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination of Panacea and Legacy Nuvation Bio was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Legacy Nuvation Bio, with Legacy Nuvation Bio surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Panacea (the “Merger” and, collectively with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). On the Closing Date, Legacy Nuvation Bio changed its name to Nuvation Bio Operating Company Inc. and Panacea changed its name from Panacea Acquisition Corp. to Nuvation Bio Inc. (the “Company”).

In connection with Special Meeting and the Business Combination, holders of 3,350 shares of Panacea Class A common stock, par value $.0001 per share (“Panacea Class A Common Stock”), or approximately 0.02% of the shares with redemption rights, exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.00 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $33,502.

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Legacy Nuvation Bio Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Legacy Nuvation Bio Class A Common Stock”), and each share of Legacy Nuvation Bio Series A preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Legacy Nuvation Bio Preferred Stock”), was converted into and exchanged for approximately 0.196 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”). Additionally, each share of Legacy Nuvation Bio Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Legacy Nuvation Bio Class B Common Stock” and together with Legacy Nuvation Bio Class A Common Stock, the “Legacy Nuvation Bio Common Stock”) (all of which were owned by David Hung, M.D., the founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Legacy Nuvation Bio) was canceled and converted into and exchanged for approximately 0.196 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock” and together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Company Common Stock”). Company Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters, except that (i) the holders of Class B Common Stock have the right, voting as a separate class, to elect and remove without cause three directors plus at least 50% of any directors in excess of seven, and (ii) the approval of the holders of a majority of Class B Common Stock, voting as a separate class, is required for approval by the stockholders of any acquisition (whether by merger, sale of shares or sale of assets) or liquidation of the Company. Each share of Class B Common Stock will automatically convert into one share of Class A Common Stock upon transfer to a non-authorized holder. In addition, Class B Common Stock is subject to a “sunset” provision under which all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock will automatically convert into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock if Dr. Hung’s ownership of shares of Company Common Stock falls below an aggregate of 43,188,000 shares or if Dr. Hung dies, becomes disabled or ceases to be Chief Executive Officer of the Company, unless he is terminated from such position by the Company without cause. No fractional shares of Company Common Stock were issued upon the exchange of Legacy Nuvation Bio Common Stock or Legacy Nuvation Bio Preferred Stock. Any stockholder’s fractional shares were rounded down to the nearest whole share of Company Common Stock, and no cash settlements were made with respect to fractional shares eliminated by such rounding.

At the Effective Time, any shares of Legacy Nuvation Bio Common Stock and Legacy Nuvation Bio Preferred Stock held in the treasury of Legacy Nuvation Bio were canceled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution was made with respect thereto.

At the Effective Time, each share of the Merger Sub’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Legacy Nuvation Bio Class A Common Stock.

Immediately following the Effective Time, Dr. Hung voluntarily converted all but 1,000,000 shares of his Class B Common Stock into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock.

Each option to purchase Legacy Nuvation Bio Class A Common Stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, was converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Class A Common Stock (such option, an “Exchanged Option”) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (a) the number of shares of Legacy Nuvation Bio Class A Common Stock subject to such Legacy Nuvation Bio option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (b) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (i) the exercise price per share of such Legacy Nuvation Bio option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio. Except as specifically provided in the Merger Agreement, following the Effective Time, each Exchanged Option will continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Legacy Nuvation Bio option immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Descriptions of the Business Combination and the Merger Agreement are included in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, dated January 20, 2021 (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in the section titled “Proposal No. 1—The Business Combination Proposal” beginning on page 103 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Company gave certain registration rights to the Subscribers with respect to the PIPE Shares.

Additionally, on the Closing Date, certain purchasers purchased 2,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 833,333 forward purchase warrants (the “Forward Purchase Securities”) in a private placement at a price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $25.0 million (the “Forward Purchase”) pursuant to the terms of the forward purchase agreement (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) that Panacea entered into in connection with Panacea’s initial public offering.

On February 10, 2021, the audit committee of the Board approved the engagement of KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2021. KPMG served as the independent registered public accounting firm of Legacy Nuvation Bio prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, WithumSmith+Brown, PC (“Withum”), Panacea’s independent registered public accounting firm prior to the Business Combination, was informed on February 12, 2021 that it would be replaced by KPMG as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm following (i) completion of the Company’s audit of the year ended December 31, 2020, which consists only of the accounts of the pre-Business Combination special purpose acquisition company, Panacea, and (ii) the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

During the period from April 24, 2020 (Panacea’s inception) through May 7, 2020 and the subsequent interim period through February 12, 2021, there have been no “reportable events” (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
