  b)

The combined team will focus on growing and accelerating the global availability of COSELA for all appropriate patients with ES-SCLC.

 

  c)

  d)

Together, the combined company will be able to optimize the commercial reach to oncologists across the U.S. and expand the availability of COSELA among patients living with ES-SCLC to ensure access to COSELA.

2)

Why does this transaction make sense for G1 investors?

 

  a)

This was the result of an unsolicited, competitive process.

 

  b)

We believe this is the right transaction for our investors; it provides each investor with a significant premium to the current value of GTHX shares (133% premium over the last 30 day VWAP)

 

  c)

We believe that this acquisition delivers significant value to G1’s stakeholders by providing better and broader access to COSELA for the cancer patients we seek to treat and a significant premium to our shareholders.

 

  d)

Our goal has always been to advance our mission to improve the lives of those affected by cancer, including by commercializing COSELA and maximizing its availability as quickly as possible for patients who badly need this important drug.

 

  i)

However, G1 currently has limited resources, both financial and human, and recognizes that raising capital at these levels is not in the best interest of our shareholders.

 

  ii)

Pharmacosmos has significantly more resources and a large but complementary global commercial footprint which we believe will help maximize the availability of COSELA.

 

  iii)

We believe that by combining our efforts with Pharmacosmos, our ability to maximize the availability of COSELA globally increases exponentially, and sooner than we can as a standalone.

 

  e)

G1’s Board of Directors believes that a combination such as this is the best option to drive significant increases in sales and penetration into the ES-SCLC market and to drive near-term value for G1’s shareholders.

 

3)

G1 previously stated that it believes that they currently have enough of a cash runway to get them to profitability by the end of 2025. Did this change? Why does this transaction make sense now at this valuation?

 

  a)

This is correct; we believe that our cash runway takes us to profitability by the end of next year.


  b)

We believe that from a Return on Investment perspective, the fact that we are nearing profitability is an important element to Pharmacosmos’ interest in this transaction.

 

  c)

This transaction provides each investor of G1 with a significant premium to the current value of GTHX shares (133% premium over the last 30 day VWAP)

 

  d)

The Board of Directors believe that given our circumstances and business realities, this transaction is the best opportunity for investors to recognize a significant premium to our current valuation.

5)

When is the transaction expected to close?
