To Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks, Trust Companies and Other Nominees:

We have been engaged by Genesis Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Pharmacosmos A/S, a Danish Aktieselskab (“Parent”), to act as information agent (the “Information Agent”) in connection with Purchaser’s offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), of G1 Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), at a purchase price of $7.15 per Share in cash, without interest and subject to any withholding of taxes required by applicable legal requirements, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated August 20, 2024 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”, which, together with the Offer to Purchase, as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time, collectively constitute the “Offer”) enclosed herewith. Please furnish copies of the enclosed materials to those of your clients for whom you hold Shares registered in your name or in the name of your nominee.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY HAS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED THAT STOCKHOLDERS TENDER ALL OF THEIR SHARES TO PURCHASER PURSUANT TO THE OFFER.

The Offer is not subject to any financing condition. The conditions to the Offer are described in Section 15 of the Offer to Purchase.

For your information and for forwarding to your clients for whom you hold Shares registered in your name or in the name of your nominee, we are enclosing the following documents:

The Letter of Transmittal (together with the included Internal Revenue Service Form W-9) for your use in accepting the Offer and tendering Shares and for the information of your clients;

The Company’s Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9, dated August 20, 2024.

We urge you to contact your clients as promptly as possible. Please note that the Offer will expire at one minute after 11:59 P.M., Eastern Time, on September 17, 2024, unless the Offer is extended by the Purchaser or earlier terminated. Previously tendered Shares may be withdrawn at any time until the Offer has expired, and if not previously accepted for payment at any time, after October 19, 2024, pursuant to SEC (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) regulations or earlier terminated in accordance with its terms or the terms of the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

The Offer is being made pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 6, 2024 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), among the Company, Parent and Purchaser, pursuant to which, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, Parent and Purchaser, as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Offer (but in no event later than the first business day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Merger), and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Merger, Purchaser will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), and the separate existence of Purchaser will cease and the Company will continue as the surviving corporation and as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Merger will be governed by Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and effected without a vote of the Company stockholders.

The Board of Directors of the Company has unanimously: (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Offer and the Merger, are advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders; (ii) adopted the Merger Agreement and approved the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Offer and the Merger; and (iii) resolved to recommend that the stockholders of the Company accept the Offer and tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer.

(the “Depositary and Paying Agent”).

Except as set forth in the Offer to Purchase, Purchaser will not pay any fees or commissions to any broker or dealer or to any other person (other than to the Depositary and Paying Agent and the Information Agent as described in the Offer to Purchase) in connection with the solicitation of tenders of Shares pursuant to the Offer.
