On March 30, 2026, Aurinia entered into a definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) to acquire Kezar Life Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: KZR) (“Kezar”), a biotechnology company focusing on small-molecule therapeutics to treat unmet needs in autoimmunity and cancer, for $6.955 in cash per share of Kezar common stock, plus one non-transferable contingent value right (“CVR”), which represents the right to receive: (i) potential payments relating to the ongoing clinical development or disposition of zetomipzomib; (ii) certain proceeds relating to Kezar’s collaboration with Everest Medicines and Kezar’s sale of its Sec61‑based discovery and development program to Enodia Therapeutics; and (iii) 100% of Kezar’s closing net cash in excess of $50 million, net of certain post-closing CVR-related expenses (the “Offer”). The transaction (the “Merger”) is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to certain conditions.

From April 1, 2026 through May 6, 2026, the Company repurchased 2.3 million of its common shares for $36.3 million under the Share Repurchase Plan.
