TRANSACTION PROPOSED—YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT
February 16, 2023
Dear Fellow Shareholder:
As previously announced, on January 8, 2023, Amryt Pharma Plc, a public limited company incorporated in England and Wales (“Amryt”) entered into a transaction agreement (as it may be amended, the “Transaction Agreement”) with Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A., an Italian società per azioni (“Chiesi”), pursuant to which Chiesi will acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Amryt (the “Transaction”) by means of a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement (the “Scheme of Arrangement”) under Part 26 of the UK Companies Act 2006.
We cordially invite all holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares to attend two meetings of shareholders of Amryt.
The first meeting (the “Court Meeting”) will be held at the offices of Cooley (UK) LLP, 22 Bishopsgate, London EC2N 4BQ on March 22, 2023 at 1:30 p.m. (London time). At the Court Meeting, Amryt shareholders will be asked to consider and vote on the Scheme of Arrangement.
The second meeting (the “General Meeting” and, together with the Court Meeting, the “Shareholder Meetings”) will also be held at the offices of Cooley (UK) LLP, 22 Bishopsgate, London EC2N 4BQ on March 22, 2023 at 1:45 p.m. (London time) (or as soon thereafter as the Court Meeting shall have been concluded or adjourned). At the General Meeting, Amryt shareholders will be asked to consider and vote on a proposal (i) authorizing the Board of Directors of Amryt (the “Amryt Board”) to take all action necessary or appropriate for carrying the Scheme of Arrangement into effect and (ii) making certain amendments to the articles of association of Amryt in order to facilitate the Transaction.
Holders of American Depositary Shares of Amryt, which each represent a beneficial interest in five Amryt Ordinary Shares (“Amryt ADSs”) are not entitled to attend the Shareholder Meetings but this scheme circular contains instructions for how holders of Amryt ADS can provide voting instructions to the Depositary in respect of the Shareholder Meetings.
Transaction Overview
If the Transaction is completed:
all ordinary shares, par value £0.06 per share, of Amryt (“Amryt Ordinary Shares”) will be acquired by Chiesi pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement;
holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares as of the record time for the Scheme of Arrangement will, on the terms set out in the Scheme of Arrangement, have the right to receive for each Amryt Ordinary Share held by them at such time an amount equal to (i) $2.90 in cash plus (ii) one Milestone 1 CVR and one Milestone 2 CVR (each as defined below); and
accordingly, holders of Amryt ADSs, as of the time that the Scheme of Arrangement becomes effective will have the right to receive for each Amryt ADS an amount equal to (i) $14.50 in cash (less a $0.05 per Amryt ADS cash distribution fee, and any other fees and expenses payable by such holders pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement by and among Amryt, Citibank, N.A., as depositary, and the holders and beneficial owners of Amryt ADSs issued thereunder, and less any applicable withholding taxes) plus (ii) five Milestone 1 CVRs and five Milestone 2 CVRs. Chiesi has agreed to pay the cancellation fees that would otherwise be payable by holders of Amryt ADSs under such deposit agreement.
The “Milestone 1 CVR” represents the non-transferable contractual contingent right to receive a cash payment of $0.20 if Milestone 1 (as defined below) is achieved, net of any applicable withholding taxes and without interest. Milestone 1 means an approval issued by the FDA of Filsuvez prior to December 31, 2024, with any such approval

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to include a labelled indication related to wound healing in patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (or a broader indication) provided that such approval is not granted by the FDA under 21 C.F.R. §§ 314.510 of FDA’s regulations (i.e., accelerated approval). The “Milestone 2 CVR” represents the non-transferable contractual contingent right to receive a cash payment of $0.30 if Milestone 2 (as defined below) is achieved, net of any applicable withholding taxes and without interest. Milestone 2 means the issuance by the FDA to Amryt of a priority review voucher (as defined in Section 529(a)(2) of the United States Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360ff(a)(2))) on or prior to December 31, 2024 (or, if Milestone 1 is achieved in December 2024, January 31, 2025). Chiesi has agreed to use “Diligent Efforts” (as defined in the CVR Agreement) to achieve the foregoing milestones. Amryt cannot assure you if or when the Milestones will be achieved. If a Milestone is not achieved by the applicable deadline, the right to receive payment pursuant to the terms of the CVR Agreement will lapse.
Voting
It is important that holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares vote at both of the Shareholder Meetings, and that holders of Amryt ADSs provide voting instructions to the Depositary to vote at both of the Shareholder Meetings on their behalf.
Holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares are encouraged to submit a form of proxy (by post, online or electronically through CREST) for each of the Court Meeting and the General Meeting as soon as possible. Holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares who hold their Amryt Ordinary Shares indirectly through a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee must rely on the procedures of such broker, bank, trust company or other nominee in order to assert the rights of a holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares to vote at the Shareholder Meetings. If this applies to you, we encourage you to consult your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee as soon as possible.
If you hold Amryt ADSs, you will not be able to attend the Shareholder Meetings or submit a form of proxy. However, holders of Amryt ADSs who hold their Amryt ADSs directly (i.e., by having Amryt ADSs registered in their names on the Amryt ADS register maintained by the Depositary) on February 10, 2023 at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) will be sent a Depositary Notice and an ADS voting instruction card and will have the right to instruct the Depositary how to vote the Amryt Ordinary Shares underlying their Amryt ADSs with respect to the resolutions to be proposed at the Shareholder Meetings, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement. Holders of Amryt ADSs are encouraged to timely submit voting instructions to the Depositary for each of the Court Meeting and the General Meeting as soon as possible. Holders of Amryt ADSs who hold their Amryt ADSs indirectly through a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee must rely on the procedures of such broker, bank, trust company or other nominee in order to assert the rights of an Amryt ADS holder to issue voting instructions to the Depositary. If this applies to you, we encourage you to consult your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee as soon as possible. This scheme circular also contains instructions as to how to surrender your Amryt ADSs and become a shareholder of Amryt in order to vote at the Shareholder Meetings. See the section entitled “Questions and Answers about the Transaction and Shareholder Meetings—Can an Amryt ADS holder vote directly at the Court Meeting or General Meeting” in this scheme circular.
For specific instructions on voting Amryt Ordinary Shares and Amryt ADSs, please refer to the accompanying scheme circular and forms of proxy or the Depositary Notice and the ADS voting instruction card.
Recommendation of the Amryt Board
The Amryt Board considers the terms of the Transaction to be in the best interests of Amryt and its shareholders taken as a whole. Accordingly, the Amryt Board unanimously recommends that Amryt shareholders vote:
FOR” the approval of the Scheme of Arrangement at the Court Meeting; and
FOR” the approval of the resolution at the General Meeting.
The Amryt Board made its determination after evaluating the Transaction in consultation with Amryt’s management and legal and financial advisors, and after considering a number of factors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In considering the recommendation of the Amryt Board, you should be aware that directors and executive officers of Amryt may have certain interests in the Transaction that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Amryt shareholders generally.

IN THE MATTER OF THE COMPANIES ACT 2006
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, by an order dated February 15, 2023 made in the above matters, the High Court of Justice of England and Wales (the “Court”) has given permission for a meeting (the “Court Meeting”) to be convened of the holders of Scheme Shares as at the Voting Record Time (each such term having the meaning given to it in the Scheme, as defined below) for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving (with or without modification) a scheme of arrangement proposed to be made pursuant to Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 (the “Companies Act”) between Amryt Pharma Plc (“Amryt”) and the holders of the Scheme Shares (the “Scheme” or the “Scheme of Arrangement”) and that the Court Meeting will be held at the offices of Cooley (UK) LLP, 22 Bishopsgate, London, EC2N 4BQ, United Kingdom on March 22, 2023 at 1:30 p.m. (London time).
A copy of the Scheme and a copy of the explanatory statement required to be published pursuant to section 897 of the Companies Act are incorporated in the accompanying scheme circular.
Unless the context requires otherwise, any capitalized term used but not defined in this notice shall have the meaning given to such term in the accompanying scheme circular.
Voting on the resolution to approve the Scheme will be by poll, which shall be conducted as the Chair of the Court Meeting may determine.
Right to Appoint a Proxy; Procedure for Appointment
Scheme Shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the Court Meeting may vote in person at the Court Meeting or they may appoint another person, whether a member of the Company or not, as their proxy to attend and vote at the Court Meeting.
Scheme Shareholders are strongly encouraged to submit proxy appointments and instructions for the Court Meeting as soon as possible, using any of the methods (by post, online or electronically through CREST) set out in the below Notes to this notice.
Voting Record Time
Entitlement to attend and vote (in person or by proxy) at the Court Meeting or any adjournment thereof and the number of votes which may be cast at the Court Meeting will be determined by reference to the register of members of Amryt at the “Voting Record Time”, which is 6:00 p.m. (London time) on March 20, 2023 or, if the Court Meeting

In the case of joint holders of Scheme Shares, the vote of the senior who tenders a vote in person or by proxy will be accepted to the exclusion of the vote(s) of the other joint holder(s). For this purpose, seniority will be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of members of Amryt in respect of the joint holding.
Corporate Representatives
As an alternative to appointing a proxy, any holder of Scheme Shares which is a corporation may appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all its powers as a member, provided that if two or more corporate representatives purport to vote in respect of the same shares, if they purport to exercise the power in the same way as each other, the power is treated as exercised in that way, and in other cases the power is treated as not exercised.
By the said order, the Court has appointed Raymond Stafford or, failing him, Dr. Joseph Wiley or, failing him, any other Amryt director to act as Chair of the Court Meeting and has directed the Chair to report the result thereof to the Court.

Notes:
The following notes explain your general rights as a Scheme Shareholder and your right to attend and vote at the Court Meeting or to appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf.
1. RIGHT TO APPOINT A PROXY; PROCEDURE FOR APPOINTMENT
Scheme Shareholders are strongly encouraged to submit proxy appointments and instructions for the Court Meeting as soon as possible, using any of the methods (by post, online or electronically through CREST) set out below.
The completion and return of the blue form of proxy by post (or appointment of a proxy online or through CREST) will not prevent you from attending, submitting questions and voting at the Court Meeting if you are entitled to and wish to do so.
A Scheme Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Court Meeting may appoint one or more proxies to exercise all or any of such Scheme Shareholder’s rights to attend, submit questions and, on a poll, to vote, instead of him, her or them. A proxy need not be a Scheme Shareholder but must attend the meeting for the Scheme Shareholder’s vote to be counted. If a Scheme Shareholder appoints more than one proxy to attend the meeting, each proxy must be appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by the Scheme Shareholder. If a Scheme Shareholder wishes to appoint more than one proxy, they should contact Link Group for further blue forms of proxy or photocopy the blue form of proxy as required.
Scheme Shareholders who do not appoint a proxy will still be entitled to attend, submit questions and vote at the Court Meeting.
(a) Sending blue form of proxy by post
A blue form of proxy, for use at the Court Meeting, has been provided with this notice. Instructions for its use are set out on the form. It is requested that the blue form of proxy (together with any power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is signed, or a duly certified copy thereof) be returned in the pre-paid envelope provided by Link Group to Link Group, PXS1, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4DL, United Kingdom, so as to be received as soon as possible and in any event not later than 1:30 p.m. (London time) on March 20, 2023 (or, in the case of an adjournment of the Court Meeting, 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48-hour period falling on a non-working day) before the time appointed for the adjourned meeting).
If the blue form of proxy for the Court Meeting is not received by Link Group by the relevant time, it may be handed to the Chair of the Court Meeting at any time prior to the commencement of the Court Meeting.
(b) Online appointment of proxies
As an alternative to completing and returning the printed blue form of proxy, proxies may be appointed electronically by logging on to the following website: www.signalshares.com and following the instructions therein. Full details of the procedure to be followed to appoint a proxy electronically are given on the website. For an electronic proxy appointment to be valid, the appointment must be received by Link Group not later than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48-hour period falling on a non-working day) before the time fixed for the Court Meeting or any adjournment thereof. If the electronic proxy appointment is not received by this time, the blue form of proxy may be handed to the Chair of the Court Meeting any time prior to the commencement of the Court Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Full details of the procedure to be followed to appoint a proxy electronically are given on the website.
(c) Electronic appointment of proxies through CREST
If you hold Amryt Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form through CREST and wish to appoint a proxy or proxies for the Court Meeting (or any adjournment thereof) by using the CREST electronic proxy appointment service, you may do so by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed any voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.
In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a “CREST Proxy Instruction”) must be properly authenticated in accordance with the specifications of Euroclear and must contain the information required for such instructions as described in the CREST Manual. The message (regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or an amendment to the instructions given

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to a previously appointed proxy) must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by Amryt’s Registrar (ID: RA10) not later than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48-hour period falling on a non-working day) before the time fixed for the Court Meeting or any adjournment thereof. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which Amryt’s Registrar is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. If the CREST proxy appointment or instruction is not received by this time, the blue form of proxy may be handed to the Chair of the Court Meeting any time prior to the commencement of the Court Meeting or any adjournment thereof.
CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed any voting service provider(s), to procure that his/her CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. For further information on the logistics of submitting messages in CREST, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.
Amryt may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the CREST Regulations.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of these articles or the terms of any resolution, whether ordinary or special, passed by the Company in general meeting, if the Company issues any shares (other than to any member of the Purchaser Group or a nominee of any such person (each such person, a “Purchaser Company”)) at or after the Voting Record Time but before the Scheme Record Time, including without limitation, any shares issued as a result of exercise or vesting of equity awards over shares or other securities in the Company or conversion of any convertible loan note instrument or indenture to which the Company is a party, such shares shall be issued subject to the terms of the Scheme (and shall be Scheme Shares for the purposes of the Scheme) and the original or any subsequent holder or holders of such shares shall be bound by the Scheme accordingly.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(iii) Subject to the Scheme becoming effective, and notwithstanding any other provision of these articles, if any shares in the Company are issued or transferred to any person other than a Purchaser Company (a “New Member”) after the Scheme Record Time including without limitation, any shares issued as a result of exercise or vesting of equity awards over shares or other securities in the Company or conversion of any convertible loan note instrument or indenture to which the Company is a party (such shares the “Post-Scheme Shares”), such New Member (or any subsequent holder or any nominee of such New Member or any such subsequent holder) will be obliged, upon the Scheme becoming effective (or, if later, upon the issue or transfer of the Post-Scheme Shares to such New Member), to transfer immediately all of its Post-Scheme Shares free of all encumbrances to the Purchaser (or to such other person as may be nominated by the Purchaser) who shall be obliged to acquire (or procure the acquisition by such other person of) all of the Post-Scheme Shares. In exchange for the transfer of the Post-Scheme Shares, the Purchaser (or such other person as has been nominated by the Purchaser) shall pay or procure the payment to the New Member of the same Per Share Cash Consideration and deliver or procure the delivery to the New Member of the same Per Share CVR Consideration that the New Member would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the Scheme had each Post-Scheme Share been a Scheme Share.

References in this article to shares shall, following such adjustment, be construed accordingly.
(v) To give effect to any transfer of Post-Scheme Shares required by this article, the Company may appoint any person as attorney and/ or agent (the “agent”) for the New Member to execute and deliver as transferor a form of transfer or other instrument or instruction of transfer on behalf of the New Member (or any subsequent holder or any nominee of such New Member or any such subsequent holder) in favor of the Purchaser (or such other person as the Purchaser may nominate) and do all such other things and execute and deliver all such documents as may in the opinion of the agent be necessary or desirable to vest the Post-Scheme Shares in the Purchaser (or such other person as the Purchaser may nominate) and pending such vesting to exercise all such rights attaching to the Post-Scheme Shares as the Purchaser may direct. If an agent is so appointed, the New Member shall not thereafter be entitled to exercise any rights attaching to the Post-Scheme Shares unless so agreed in writing by the Purchaser, and the Company may send to the agent any notice, circular, warrant or other document or communication which may otherwise be required to be sent to the New Member as a member of the Company.
(vi) The Company may give good receipt for the applicable Per Share Cash Consideration and Per Share CVR Consideration for the Post-Scheme Shares and may register the Purchaser (or such other person as the Purchaser may nominate) as holder of the Post-Scheme Shares and issue to it certificate(s) for the same. The agent shall be empowered to execute and deliver as transferor a form of transfer or other instrument or instruction of transfer on behalf of the New Member (or any subsequent holder). The Company shall not be obliged to issue a certificate to the New Member for any Post-Scheme Shares.
(vii) The Purchaser shall settle (or procure the settlement of) the Per Share Cash Consideration and Per Share CVR Consideration within 14 days of the transfer of the Post-Scheme Shares by the New Member to the Purchaser (or to such other person as the Purchaser may nominate).
(viii) Notwithstanding any other provision of these articles, neither the Company nor its directors shall register the transfer of any Scheme Shares effected between the Scheme Record Time and the Effective Time (other than to a Purchaser Company or a nominee of a Purchaser Company pursuant to the Scheme).
(ix) If the Scheme shall not have become effective by the date referred to in paragraph 12.2 of the Scheme, this article shall be of no effect.””

Notes:
The following notes explain your general rights as an Amryt shareholder and your right to attend and vote at the General Meeting or to appoint someone else to vote on your behalf. For the avoidance of doubt, references in these notes to “Amryt shareholders” are to holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares only, not holders of Amryt ADSs.
1.
ENTITLEMENT TO ATTEND AND VOTE
Pursuant to Regulation 41(1) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 (as amended), Amryt has specified that only those shareholders registered on the register of members of Amryt at 6:00 p.m. (London time) on March 20, 2023 (or, if the meeting is adjourned to a time more than 48 hours after such time, at 6:00 p.m. (London time) on the day which is two days prior to the date of the adjourned meeting) (the “Voting Record Time”) shall be entitled to attend and vote (in person or by proxy) at the General Meeting in respect of the number of ordinary shares registered in their name at that time. If the meeting is adjourned to a time not more than 48 hours after the Voting Record Time, that time will also apply for the purpose of determining the entitlement of members to attend and vote (and for the purposes of determining the number of votes they may cast) at the adjourned meeting. Changes to the register of members after the relevant deadline shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the meeting.
2.
RIGHT TO APPOINT A PROXY; PROCEDURE FOR APPOINTMENT
Amryt shareholders are strongly encouraged to submit proxy appointments and instructions for the General Meeting as soon as possible, using any of the methods (by post, online or electronically through CREST) set out below.
The completion and return of the yellow form of proxy by post (or appointment of a proxy online or through CREST) will not prevent you from attending, submitting questions and voting at the General Meeting if you are entitled to and wish to do so.
An Amryt shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the General Meeting may appoint one or more proxies to exercise all or any of such Amryt shareholder’s rights to attend, submit questions and, on a poll, to vote, instead of him, her or them. A proxy need not be an Amryt shareholder but must attend the meeting for the Amryt shareholder’s vote to be counted. If an Amryt shareholder appoints more than one proxy to attend the meeting, each proxy must be appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by the Amryt shareholder. If an Amryt shareholder wishes to appoint more than one proxy they should contact Link Group for further yellow forms of proxy or photocopy the yellow form of proxy as required.
Amryt shareholders who do not appoint a proxy will still be entitled to attend, submit questions and vote at the General Meeting.
(a)
Sending yellow form of proxy by post
A yellow form of proxy, for use at the General Meeting, has been provided with this notice. Instructions for its use are set out on the form. It is requested that the yellow form of proxy (together with any power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is signed, or a duly certified copy thereof) be returned in the pre-paid envelope provided by Amryt’s Registrar to Link Group, PXS1, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds LS1 4DL, United Kingdom, so as to be received as soon as possible and in any event not later than 1:45 p.m. (London time) on March 20, 2023 (or, in the case of an adjournment of the General Meeting, 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48-hour period falling on a non-working day) before the time appointed for the adjourned meeting).
If the yellow form of proxy for the General Meeting is not received by Link Group by the relevant time, it will be invalid.
(b)
Online appointment of proxies
As an alternative to completing and returning the printed yellow form of proxy, proxies may be appointed electronically by logging on to the following website: www.signalshares.com and following the instructions therein. Full details of the procedure to be followed to appoint a proxy electronically are given on the website. For an electronic proxy appointment to be valid, the appointment must be received by Link Group not later than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48-hour period falling on a non-working day) before the time fixed for the General Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

(c)
Electronic appointment of proxies through CREST
If you hold Amryt Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form through CREST and wish to appoint a proxy or proxies for the General Meeting (or any adjournment thereof) by using the CREST electronic proxy appointment service, you may do so by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed any voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.
In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a “CREST Proxy Instruction”) must be properly authenticated in accordance with the specifications of Euroclear and must contain the information required for such instructions as described in the CREST Manual. The message (regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or an amendment to the instructions given to a previously appointed proxy) must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by Amryt’s Registrar (ID: RA10) not later than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48-hour period falling on a non-working day) before the time fixed for the General Meeting or any adjournment thereof. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which Amryt’s Registrar is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST.
CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed any voting service provider(s), to procure that his/her CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. For further information on the logistics of submitting messages in CREST, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.
Amryt may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the CREST Regulations.
3.
APPOINTMENT OF A PROXY BY JOINT HOLDERS
In the case of joint holders, where more than one of the joint holders purports to appoint one or more proxies, only the purported appointment submitted by the most senior holder will be accepted. Seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders stand in Amryt’s register of members in respect of the joint holding.
4.
CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES
Any corporation which is an Amryt shareholder can, by resolution of its directors or other governing body, authorize such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at the General Meeting who, on presentation of a certified copy of such resolution, may exercise on its behalf all of its powers.
5.
VOTES TO BE TAKEN BY A POLL AND RESULTS
At the General Meeting voting on the resolution will be by poll rather than a show of hands. This is a more transparent method of voting as member votes are to be counted according to the number of ordinary shares held. The results of the poll will be announced by the filing of a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K with the SEC and published on Amryt’s Internet website as soon as reasonably practicable following the conclusion of the General Meeting.
The “WITHHELD” option on the form of proxy is provided to enable Amryt shareholders to abstain from voting on the resolution. However, a vote withheld is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of proportion of votes “FOR” and “AGAINST” the resolution.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE TRANSACTION AND SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS
The following questions and answers are intended to briefly address some commonly asked questions regarding the Transaction, the Transaction Agreement and the Shareholder Meetings. These questions and answers may not address all questions that may be important to you as an Amryt shareholder (whether as a holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs). Please refer to the section entitled “Summary” in this scheme circular and the more detailed information contained elsewhere in this scheme circular, the annexes to this scheme circular and the documents referred to in this scheme circular, which you should read carefully and in their entirety. You may obtain the information incorporated by reference into this scheme circular without charge by following the instructions under the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” in this scheme circular.
Q:
Why am I receiving this scheme circular?
A:
On January 8, 2023, Amryt and Chiesi entered into the Transaction Agreement, pursuant to which Chiesi will acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Amryt. The Transaction will be implemented by means of the Scheme of Arrangement, which is a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act.
The Transaction is conditional on, among other things, Amryt shareholders approving the Scheme Proposal at the Court Meeting and the Scheme Implementation Proposal at the General Meeting. In order for the Transaction to proceed, it is therefore very important that you vote at both the Court Meeting and the General Meeting. As set out elsewhere in this scheme circular, the Amryt Board unanimously recommends that you vote in favor of the resolutions at the Court Meeting and the General Meeting.
We have included in this scheme circular important information about the Transaction, the Transaction Agreement (a copy of which is included as Annex A to this scheme circular) and the Shareholder Meetings. You should read this information carefully and in its entirety. The enclosed forms of proxy (for registered holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares) and ADS voting instruction cards (for registered holders of Amryt ADSs) will allow Amryt shareholders to vote at the Shareholder Meetings without attending in person.
After completion of the Transaction, Amryt will be a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Chiesi, the Amryt ADSs will be delisted from Nasdaq and deregistered under the Exchange Act, and Amryt will no longer be required to file periodic reports with the SEC.
Q:
What is the Scheme of Arrangement?
A:
A “scheme of arrangement” is a court-sanctioned arrangement between an English company (such as Amryt) and its shareholders under Part 26 of the Companies Act, which can be used as a transaction structure to effect an acquisition, takeover or other business combination. A scheme of arrangement enables a buyer to acquire the entire issued share capital of a target company if the scheme of arrangement has been approved by the requisite majorities of the target company’s shareholders and the scheme of arrangement has been sanctioned by the Court.
The Transaction will be completed by means of the Scheme of Arrangement, a copy of which is included in this scheme circular, which will enable Chiesi to acquire the outstanding Amryt Ordinary Shares. In order to be consummated, the Scheme of Arrangement requires the approval of the requisite majorities of Amryt shareholders and the sanction of the Court. The Scheme of Arrangement and the votes required by the Amryt shareholders to approve the Scheme of Arrangement are further described under the section entitled “Scheme Proposal and the Court Meeting and the General Meeting—Explanatory Statement.”
Q:
What will I receive if the Transaction is completed?
A:
If the Transaction is completed:
all Amryt Ordinary Shares will be acquired by Chiesi pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement;
holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares as of the record time for the Scheme of Arrangement will have the right to receive, for each Amryt Ordinary Share held by them at such time, the Scheme Consideration, consisting of an amount equal to (i) $2.90 in cash, without interest, plus (ii) one Milestone 1 CVR and one Milestone 2 CVR (less any applicable withholding taxes); and
1

TABLE OF CONTENTS

accordingly, holders of Amryt ADSs as of the Effective Time will have the right to receive, for each Amryt ADS held by them at such time, an amount equal to (i) $14.50 in cash (less the Amryt ADS Fees and any applicable withholding taxes) plus (ii) five Milestone 1 CVRs and five Milestone 2 CVRs. Chiesi has agreed to pay the cancellation fees that would otherwise be payable by holders of Amryt ADSs under the Deposit Agreement.
You will not have any rights with respect to your Amryt Ordinary Shares and/or Amryt ADSs after the completion of the Transaction other than the right to receive the applicable Transaction Consideration.
The Per Share Cash Consideration is denominated in U.S. dollars. However, Chiesi has appointed the Paying Agent to make available a Currency Conversion Facility to registered holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares (other than the Depositary or any other entity which may hold legal title to the Amryt Ordinary Shares underlying the Amryt ADSs) pursuant to which they will be able to elect (subject to the terms and conditions of the Currency Conversion Facility) to receive the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration in British pounds or Euros at the Average Market Exchange Rate obtained by the Paying Agent through one or more market transactions over one or more business days following the Scheme Record Time before the relevant payment date. The number of transactions, time period required, exchange rates obtained and level of transaction, foreign exchange and dealing costs associated with the conversion will depend on market conditions and the number of Amryt Ordinary Shares in respect of which a valid Currency Election is made. The Average Market Exchange Rate obtained by the Paying Agent will be applied such that all Amryt shareholders who have made a Currency Election will receive the same amount of British Pounds or Euros (as applicable) per Amryt Ordinary Share. For any holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares electing to be paid their aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration in British pounds or Euros (as applicable) pursuant to the Currency Conversion Facility, the amount per Amryt Ordinary Share received may, depending on the prevailing exchange rate, result in a payment below or above the amount that they would have received based on the USD:GBP or USD:Euro exchange rate as at the date of this scheme circular. No Currency Conversion Facility will be made available to holders of Amryt ADSs. Neither Amryt, Chiesi, the Paying Agent nor any of their respective advisers or any person acting on behalf of any one of them shall have any liability to any person for any loss or alleged loss arising from any decision as to the treatment of Currency Elections made under the Scheme of Arrangement on any of the bases set out in this scheme circular or otherwise in connection therewith. See the sections entitled “Scheme Proposal and the Court Meeting and the General Meeting—Explanatory Statement” and “Notes for Making Currency Elections” in this scheme circular for further information.
Any fees arising as a result of a holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares (in certificated, or uncertificated form as at the Scheme Record Time) electing to use the Currency Conversion Facility, must be borne by the holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares who makes such an election.
Q:
What is a CVR and how does it work?
A:
While no guarantee can be given that any proceeds will be received, each CVR will represent the right to receive contingent cash payments from Chiesi upon the achievement of certain Milestones set forth in the CVR Agreement, as further described in the section entitled “Agreements Related to the Transaction—CVR Agreement” in this scheme circular. Amryt shareholders that are entitled to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration or Per ADS Cash Consideration, as applicable, will also be entitled to receive the Per Share CVR Consideration or Per ADS CVR Consideration, as applicable.
Q:
Is it possible that I will receive more than one payment under the CVRs?
A:
Yes. The CVRs represent the right to receive:
In the case of the Milestone 1 CVR, $0.20 upon FDA approval of Filsuvez prior to December 31, 2024, with any such approval to include a labelled indication related to wound healing in patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (or a broader indication) provided that such approval is not granted by the FDA under 21 C.F.R. §§ 314.510 of FDA’s regulations (i.e., accelerated approval); and
In the case of the Milestone 2 CVR, $0.30 upon the issuance by the FDA to Amryt of a priority review voucher (as defined in Section 529(a)(2) of the United States Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act) on or prior to December 31, 2024 (or, if Milestone 1 is achieved in December 2024, January 31, 2025).
Because at the closing of the Transaction each holder of Amryt ADSs will receive five Milestone 1 CVRs and five Milestone 2 CVRs per Amryt ADS, upon achievement of Milestone 1, the holder will be entitled to receive
2

TABLE OF CONTENTS

$1.00 in CVR payments per Amryt ADS held by such holder and upon achievement of Milestone 2, the holder will be entitled to receive $1.50 in CVR payments per Amryt ADS held by such holder.
Q:
Is it possible that I will not receive any payment under the CVRs?
A:
Yes. There can be no assurance that Milestone 1 or Milestone 2 will be achieved, and that the resulting payments will be required of Chiesi.
Q:
Can I transfer my CVRs?
A:
The CVRs are not transferable except under certain limited circumstances and will not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument. The CVRs will not have any voting or dividend rights and will not represent any equity or ownership interest in Chiesi, Amryt or any of their respective affiliates.
Q:
What is the Currency Conversion Facility?
A:
The Per Share Cash Consideration is denominated in U.S. dollars. However, Chiesi has appointed the Paying Agent to make available a Currency Conversion Facility to registered holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares (other than the Depositary or any other entity which may hold legal title to the Amryt Ordinary Shares underlying the Amryt ADSs) pursuant to which they will be able to elect (subject to the terms and conditions of the Currency Conversion Facility) to receive the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration in British pounds or Euros at the Average Market Exchange Rate obtained by the Paying Agent through one or more market transactions over one or more business days following the Scheme Record Time before the relevant payment date. The number of transactions, time period required, exchange rates obtained and level of transaction, foreign exchange and dealing costs associated with the conversion will depend on market conditions and the number of Amryt Ordinary Shares in respect of which a valid Currency Election is made. The Average Market Exchange Rate obtained by the Paying Agent will be applied such that all Amryt shareholders who have made a Currency Election will receive the same amount of British Pounds or Euros (as applicable) per Amryt Ordinary Share. For any holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares electing to be paid their aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration in British pounds or Euros (as applicable) pursuant to the Currency Conversion Facility, the amount per Amryt Ordinary Share received may, depending on the prevailing exchange rate, result in a payment below or above the amount that they would have received based on the USD:GBP or USD:Euro exchange rate as at the date of this scheme circular. No Currency Conversion Facility will be made available to holders of Amryt ADSs. Neither Amryt, Chiesi, the Paying Agent nor any of their respective advisers or any person acting on behalf of any one of them shall have any liability to any person for any loss or alleged loss arising from any decision as to the treatment of Currency Elections made under the Scheme of Arrangement on any of the bases set out in this scheme circular or otherwise in connection therewith. See the sections entitled “Scheme Proposal and the Court Meeting and the General Meeting—Explanatory Statement” and “Notes for Making Currency Elections” in this scheme circular for further information.Where an Amryt shareholder has made a valid Currency Election to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration in British pounds or Euros under the Currency Conversion Facility, the Per Share Cash Consideration due to such holder in respect of their Scheme Shares in accordance with the terms of the Scheme will be paid in British pounds or Euros at the Average Market Exchange Rate obtained by the Paying Agent through one or more market transactions over one or more business days following the Scheme Record Time before the relevant payment date.
The Paying Agent intends to obtain the amount of British pounds and Euros required to satisfy Currency Elections through one or more market transactions carried out over one or more business days following the Scheme Record Time. The number of transactions, time period required, exchange rate obtained and level of transaction and dealing costs associated with the conversion will depend on market conditions and the number of Amryt Ordinary Shares in respect of which a valid Currency Election is made. However, the Paying Agent will use all reasonable endeavors to obtain the best rate reasonably available in the market (including taking account of the size of the transactions and the time frames within which they are to be executed) at the relevant times and to ensure that the applicable transaction and dealing costs are on arm’s-length market terms. The Average Market Exchange Rate obtained by the Paying Agent will be applied such that all Amryt shareholders who have made a Currency Election will receive the same amount of British pounds or Euros for each of their Amryt Ordinary Shares.
Any fees arising as a result of a holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares (in certificated, or uncertificated form as at the Scheme Record Time) electing to use the Currency Conversion Facility, must be borne by the holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares who makes such an election.

Each PSU Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Irish PSU Awards), whether vested or unvested, will become vested (with the number of Amryt Ordinary Shares that so vest determined based on the greater of target performance and actual performance, pursuant to the terms of such PSU Award) and be canceled and converted into the right to receive (i) a cash payment equal to the product of (A) the amount to be paid for an Amryt Ordinary Share, pursuant to the Transaction, multiplied by (B) the number of Amryt Ordinary Shares subject to such PSU Award (determined based on the greater of target performance and actual performance, pursuant to the terms of such PSU Award), and (ii) the same CVRs per Amryt Ordinary Share subject to such PSU Award.
Each Irish PSU Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Scheme Record Time, whether vested or unvested, will, conditional upon the sanction of the Court to the Scheme of Arrangement, become vested (with the number of Amryt Ordinary Shares that so vest determined based on the greater of target performance and actual performance, pursuant to the terms of such Irish PSU Award), and holders of such Irish PSU Awards will receive the corresponding number of Amryt Ordinary Shares (with the number of Amryt Ordinary Shares subject

The Transaction cannot be completed unless each of the Scheme Proposal and the Scheme Implementation Proposal is passed. Each copy of this scheme circular mailed to registered holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares is accompanied by two forms of proxy with instructions for voting.
For registered holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares, the blue form of proxy corresponds to the Court Meeting and the yellow form of proxy corresponds to the General Meeting. You are encouraged to submit a proxy (by post, online or electronically through CREST) or voting instructions for each of the Court Meeting and the General Meeting as soon as possible.
The Depositary will deliver to registered holders of Amryt ADSs as of the Amryt ADS Voting Record Time (i) a Depositary Notice of Court Meeting and General Meeting for Amryt Pharma Plc and (ii) an ADS voting instruction card. This scheme circular is available on Amryt’s website at https://amrytpharma.com/investors/. Holders of Amryt ADSs will not receive a hard copy of the scheme circular, but may receive a copy upon written request. See the section entitled “References to Additional Information” in this scheme circular.
If you hold Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs indirectly through a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee you must rely on the procedures of such broker, bank, trust company or other nominee in order to submit your voting instructions for both the Court Meeting and the General Meeting. Providing voting instructions via a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee may require the provision of information by a

TABLE OF CONTENTS

particular deadline, well in advance of the deadline to submit proxies or voting instructions, and therefore you are encouraged to reach out to such broker, bank, trust company or other nominee as quickly as possible.
If the Scheme of Arrangement becomes effective, it will be binding on all Scheme Shareholders, including Scheme Shareholders who vote against the Scheme Proposal and the Scheme Implementation Proposal.
Q:
How does the Amryt Board recommend that I vote at the Shareholder Meetings?
A:
The Amryt Board unanimously recommends that Amryt shareholders vote “FOR” the Scheme Proposal at the Court Meeting and “FOR” the Scheme Implementation Proposal at the General Meeting. See the section entitled “The Transaction—Recommendation of the Amryt Board; Amryt’s Reasons for the Scheme” in this scheme circular.
Q:
When and where are the Court Meeting and the General Meeting?
A:
The Court Meeting will be held at the offices of Cooley (UK) LLP at 22 Bishopsgate, London EC2N 4BQ on March 22, 2023 at 1:30 p.m. (London time). The General Meeting will also be held at the offices of Cooley (UK) LLP 22 Bishopsgate, London EC2N 4BQ on March 22, 2023 at 1:45 p.m. (London time) (or as soon thereafter as the Court Meeting shall have been concluded or adjourned).
Amryt shareholders are strongly encouraged to appoint the Chair of the Shareholder Meetings as their proxy.
Q:
What are “Scheme Shares”, “Scheme Shareholders” and the “Scheme Record Time”?
A:
Under the Scheme of Arrangement:
“Scheme Shares” are the Amryt Ordinary Shares:
in issue at the date of this scheme circular;
(if any) issued after the date of this scheme circular and prior to the Voting Record Time;
(if any) issued at or after the Voting Record Time and prior to the Scheme Record Time, either on terms that the original or any subsequent holders thereof shall be bound by the Scheme of Arrangement or in respect of which the holders thereof shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the Scheme of Arrangement;
in each case, remaining in issue at the Scheme Record Time, but excluding (i) any Amryt Ordinary Shares which are registered in the name of or beneficially owned by Chiesi or any member of the Purchaser Group or by any of their respective nominees and (ii) any Amryt Ordinary Shares held in treasury by Amryt.
“Scheme Shareholders” are the holders of Scheme Shares whose names appear in the register of members of Amryt at the Scheme Record Time.
The “Scheme Record Time” is expected to be 6:00 p.m. (London time) on the business day immediately prior to the Effective Time.
Accordingly, if you are a registered holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares and do not sell your shares prior to the Scheme Record Time, your Amryt Ordinary Shares will be Scheme Shares and you will be a Scheme Shareholder.
Q:
What is the Voting Record Time? What is the Amryt ADS Voting Record Time?
A:
The holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares that will be entitled to vote at the Shareholder Meetings are those listed in Amryt’s register of members as of the Voting Record Time, which is 6:00 p.m. (London time) on March 20, 2023, or, if either Shareholder Meeting is adjourned, 6:00 p.m. (London time) on the day which is two business days prior to the date of the adjourned meeting.
The holders of Amryt ADSs that will be entitled to provide voting instructions to the Depositary in respect of the Shareholder Meetings are those registered on the Amryt ADS Register as of the Amryt ADS Voting Record Time, which is 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on February 10, 2023.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Q:
Who can attend and vote at the Court Meeting and General Meeting?
A:
If you are a “shareholder of record”: Each Amryt shareholder who is entered in Amryt’s register of members at the Voting Record Time will be entitled to attend and vote on all resolutions to be put to the Court Meeting and the General Meeting.
If either meeting is adjourned, only those Amryt shareholders on the register of members at 6:00 p.m. (London time) on the date which is two days (excluding non-working days) before the adjourned meeting will be entitled to attend and vote.
If you hold Amryt Ordinary Shares in “street name”: If you hold your Amryt Ordinary Shares through a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee, as a matter of English law your name will not be entered in Amryt’s register of members. You will need to contact your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee in order to submit your voting instructions for both the Court Meeting and the General Meeting. Providing voting instructions via a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee may require the provision of information by a particular deadline, well in advance of the deadline to submit proxies or voting instructions, and therefore you are encouraged to reach out to such broker, bank, trust company or other nominee as quickly as possible.
If you wish to vote directly (whether in person or by proxy) (i.e., in your own name) at the Court Meeting or General Meeting, you must complete a stock transfer request form in respect of such Amryt Ordinary Shares, pay any related UK stamp duty, if applicable, and return the completed stock transfer request form and related documentation to Amryt’s transfer agent, Link Group, prior to the Voting Record Time. Such holders that wish to vote directly at the Court Meeting or General Meeting should take care to complete and return a stock transfer request form in respect of their Amryt Ordinary Shares to permit processing to be completed by Link Group prior to the Voting Record Time.
If you are an Amryt ADS holder of record: Amryt ADS holders are not entitled to vote directly on the resolutions at the Court Meeting or the General Meeting. Instead, Amryt ADS holders on the Amryt ADS Register at the Amryt ADS Voting Record Time will be eligible to provide the Depositary with voting instructions for the Shareholder Meetings as long as those instructions are received no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on March 16, 2023, or if the Shareholder Meetings are adjourned, such later date as may be notified by the Depositary.
If you hold Amryt ADSs in “street name”: If you hold Amryt ADSs indirectly through a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee you must rely on the procedures of such broker, bank, trust company or other nominee in order to assert the rights of an Amryt ADS holder to issue voting instructions to the Depositary. If this applies to you, we encourage you to consult your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee as soon as possible.
Q:
Can an Amryt ADS holder vote directly at the Court Meeting or General Meeting?
A:
If you are an Amryt ADS holder and you wish to vote directly (whether in person or by proxy) at the Court Meeting or the General Meeting, you must elect to become a shareholder of record by surrendering your Amryt ADSs to the Depositary in exchange for the Amryt Ordinary Shares represented by those Amryt ADSs, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, so as to become a registered holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares prior to the Voting Record Time. You will need to pay a cancellation fee of $0.05 per Amryt ADS to surrender. However, you would not then need to pay the $0.05 per Amryt ADS cash distribution fee on distribution by the Depositary following closing of the Transaction. In order to surrender your Amryt ADSs and withdraw the underlying Amryt Ordinary Shares:
if you are a registered holder of Amryt ADSs, you should follow the steps described under “Scheme Proposal and the Court Meeting and the General Meeting—Explanatory Statement” in this scheme circular; and
if you hold Amryt ADSs indirectly through a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee, you should contact your broker, bank, trust company or nominee to make the necessary arrangements to ensure the necessary processing can be completed in time.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Accordingly, if an Amryt ADS holder wishes to attend and vote at the Shareholder Meetings as a Scheme Shareholder, they must also provide the following:
(A)
delivery instructions for the Amryt Ordinary Shares represented by such Amryt ADSs (including, if applicable, the name and address of the person who will be the registered holder of such Amryt Ordinary Shares); and
(B)
if the Amryt ADS cancellation is to take place after the Amryt ADS Voting Record Time and before the Voting Record Time, a certification that the Amryt ADS holder:
i.  (x)
beneficially owned the relevant Amryt ADSs at the Amryt ADS Voting Record Time and has not given, and will not give, voting instructions to the Depositary in respect of such Amryt ADSs in relation to the Shareholder Meetings (or has cancelled all voting instructions previously given); or
(y)
beneficially owned the relevant Amryt ADSs as at the Amryt ADS Voting Record Time and has given voting instructions to the Depositary in respect of such Amryt ADSs in relation to the Shareholder Meetings, but undertakes not to vote the Amryt Ordinary Shares represented by such Amryt ADSs at the Shareholder Meetings; or
ii.
did not beneficially own the relevant Amryt ADSs as at the Amryt ADS Voting Record Time, and undertakes not to vote the Amryt Ordinary Shares represented by such Amryt ADSs at the Shareholder Meetings.
Amryt ADS holders who hold their Amryt ADSs through a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee should promptly contact their broker, bank, trust company or other nominee to find out what actions are required to cancel the Amryt ADSs.
Amryt ADS holders who present their Amryt ADSs to the Depositary for cancellation in order to take delivery of Amryt Ordinary Shares will be responsible for the payment of the Depositary’s fees associated with such cancellation ($0.05 per Amryt ADS presented for cancellation).
Amryt ADS holders who take steps (as described in the paragraphs above) to cancel their Amryt ADSs before 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on March 13, 2023 and become Scheme Shareholders before the Voting Record Time will have the right to attend both Shareholder Meetings (in person or by proxy). Any Amryt ADS holder who wishes to cancel their Amryt ADSs to become a Scheme Shareholder should allow sufficient time for the cancellation of their Amryt ADSs and the delivery of their Amryt Ordinary Shares.
Q:
What is the quorum requirement of the General Meeting?
A:
The presence at the General Meeting of two members present, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the General Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum.
Q:
What is the required vote for each Proposal?
A:
The Scheme Proposal must be approved by a simple majority in number of Amryt ordinary shareholders present and voting (and entitled to vote), either in person or by proxy, representing at least 75% in value of the Amryt Ordinary Shares in respect of which a vote has been cast. This dual majority is intended to provide protection to both majority and minority shareholders of record of Amryt.
If you are an Amryt ADS holder it is the underlying Amryt Ordinary Shares voted by the Depositary at your direction which will be counted for the purposes of the above tests. While all of the Amryt Ordinary Shares voted by the Depositary will count towards the 75% in value test, it is important to be aware that, because the Depositary’s nominee is the registered holder of the Amryt Ordinary Shares underlying your Amryt ADSs, you will not yourself be counted towards the majority in number test. Accordingly, if you wish to be counted towards the majority in number test you must elect to become a shareholder of record by surrendering at least one of your Amryt ADSs to the Depositary in exchange for the Amryt Ordinary Shares represented by those Amryt ADSs, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, so as to become a registered holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares prior to the Voting Record Time.
The Scheme Implementation Proposal must be approved by at least 75% of the votes cast by Amryt ordinary shareholders present and voting (and entitled to vote), either in person or by proxy.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Q:
What happens if I sell my Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs before completion of the Transaction?
A:
If you are a holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares, in order to receive the Scheme Consideration for your Amryt Ordinary Shares, you must hold your Amryt Ordinary Shares at the Scheme Record Time. Consequently, if you transfer your Amryt Ordinary Shares before the Scheme Record Time, you will have transferred your right to receive the Scheme Consideration if the Transaction is completed.
The Voting Record Time and Amryt ADS Voting Record Time, which determine the Amryt ordinary shareholders entitled to vote at the Shareholder Meetings and Amryt ADS holders entitled to provide voting instructions to the Depositary in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement, respectively, are earlier than the Scheme Record Time. If you are a holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares and you transfer your Amryt Ordinary Shares after the Voting Record Time but prior to the Scheme Record Time, you will retain any rights you hold to vote at the Shareholder Meetings but will not have the right to receive the Scheme Consideration.
If you are an Amryt ADS holder, in order to receive the Per ADS Consideration for your Amryt ADSs, you must not have sold your Amryt ADSs prior to the Effective Time (including not having sold prior to the Effective Time in trades that will settle after the Effective Time). Consequently, if you transfer your Amryt ADSs before the Effective Time, you will not be entitled to receive the Per ADS Consideration. Because we expect that the last day of trading of the Amryt ADSs on Nasdaq will be either the trading day prior to the closing date or the closing date, the persons entitled to the Per ADS Consideration will not be known until the end of the first or second trading day following the effective date of the Scheme, which is the date that any trades made on the last day of trading of the Amryt ADSs on Nasdaq will settle.
Q:
Does my vote matter?
A:
Yes. It is important that eligible Amryt shareholders vote at both of the Shareholder Meetings and that holders of Amryt ADSs issue voting instructions to the Depositary to vote at both of the Shareholder Meetings on their behalf.
The Transaction cannot be completed unless the Scheme Proposal is approved at the Court Meeting and the Scheme Implementation Proposal is approved at the General Meeting.
Q:
What do I need to do now?
A:
If you are a “shareholder of record”: If you hold Amryt Ordinary Shares registered in your own name, you are entitled to attend the Court Meeting and the General Meeting to vote either in person or to appoint another person or persons as your proxy or proxies to attend and vote on your behalf, in accordance with the procedures further outlined in this scheme circular.
If you hold Amryt Ordinary Shares in “street name”: Holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares who hold their Amryt Ordinary Shares indirectly through a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee must rely on the procedures of such broker, bank, trust company or other nominee in order to assert the rights of a holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares to vote at the Shareholder Meetings. If this applies to you, we encourage you to consult your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee as soon as possible.
If you are a beneficial holder but not the legal holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares then, as a matter of English law, your name is not entered in Amryt’s register of members. Accordingly, if you wish to attend and vote directly (i.e., in your own name) at the Court Meeting or General Meeting, you must become a registered holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares by arranging for the completion of a stock transfer form or CREST transfer form by the applicable registered holder in respect of the Amryt Ordinary Shares that you wish to be transferred into your name, pay any related UK stamp duty, if applicable, and send the completed stock transfer form (or CREST transfer form) and related documentation (as applicable) to Amryt’s transfer agent, Link Group at Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds LS1 4DL, United Kingdom, prior to the Voting Record Time. Beneficial holders who wish to attend and vote directly at the Court Meeting or General Meeting should send such stock transfer form (or CREST transfer form) in respect of their Amryt Ordinary Shares to permit processing to be completed by Link Group prior to the Voting Record Time.
If either Shareholder Meeting is adjourned, only those Amryt shareholders on the register of members at 6:00 p.m. (London time) on the day which is two business days before the adjourned meeting will be entitled to attend and vote.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If you are an Amryt ADS holder: Amryt ADS holders are not entitled to vote directly at the Court Meeting or the General Meeting. Instead, Amryt ADS holders on the Amryt ADS Register as at the Amryt ADS Voting Record Time will be eligible to provide the Depositary with voting instructions for the Shareholder Meetings and will be sent a Depositary Notice of Court Meeting and General Meeting for Amryt Pharma Plc as well as an Amryt ADS voting instruction card to be completed and returned in accordance with the instructions printed thereon. The voting instructions must be received by the Depositary no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on March 16, 2023, or, if either the Court Meeting or the General Meeting is adjourned, such later date as may be notified by the Depositary.
Holders of Amryt ADSs who hold their Amryt ADSs indirectly through a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee must rely on the procedures of such broker, bank, trust company or other nominee in order to assert the rights of an Amryt ADS holder to issue voting instructions to the Depositary. If this applies to you, we encourage you to consult your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee as soon as possible. Please vote in accordance with the instructions sent to you by your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee as soon as possible.
The Depositary will collate all votes properly timely submitted by holders of Amryt ADSs and submit a vote on behalf of all such holders.
If you are an Amryt ADS holder and you wish to vote directly (whether in person or by proxy) on the Scheme at the Court Meeting or the resolution at the General Meeting, you must elect to become a shareholder of record by surrendering your Amryt ADSs to the Depositary to withdraw the Amryt Ordinary Shares represented by those Amryt ADSs, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, so as to become a registered holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares prior to the Voting Record Time. In order to surrender your Amryt ADSs and withdraw the underlying Amryt Ordinary Shares if you hold Amryt ADSs indirectly through a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee you should contact your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee to make the necessary arrangements to ensure the necessary processing can be completed in time. Pursuant to the terms of the Deposit Agreement, Amryt ADS holders that cancel their Amryt ADSs will be subject to a $0.05 per Amryt ADS cancellation fee and will be required to provide the Depositary with a withdrawal certification (however, such holders would not then need to pay the $0.05 per Amryt ADS cash distribution fee on distribution by the Depositary following closing of the Transaction).
Q:
Why did I receive two forms of proxy as a holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares?
A:
Each registered holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares has been sent a blue form of proxy for use in respect of the Court Meeting and a yellow form of proxy for use in respect of the General Meeting. If you have not received two forms of proxy, please contact Link Group on +44 0371 664 0321. Calls are charged at the standard geographic rate and will vary by provider. Calls from outside the United Kingdom will be charged at the applicable international rate. The helpline is open between 9.00 am – 5.30 pm, Monday to Friday excluding public holidays in England and Wales.

As an alternative to completing and returning the printed blue and yellow forms of proxy, proxies may be appointed electronically by logging on to the following website: www.signalshares.com and following the instructions therein, as further explained in the Notes to the Notices of the Shareholder Meetings.
If you hold Amryt Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form through CREST and wish to appoint a proxy or proxies for the Shareholder Meetings (or any adjournment thereof) by using the CREST electronic proxy appointment service, you may do so by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual, and as further explained in the Notes to the Notices of the Shareholder Meetings.
Your vote is very important. You are encouraged to submit a proxy card (by post, online or electronically through CREST) for BOTH the Court Meeting and the General Meeting as soon as possible.
Q:
What happens if I do not vote or abstain from voting?
A:
Holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares: If you are the registered holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares and do not vote and do not appoint another person as your proxy to attend and vote on your behalf, your Amryt Ordinary Shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the General Meeting or for calculating the proportion of votes “FOR” and “AGAINST” the Proposals at the Shareholder Meetings.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If your Amryt Ordinary Shares are held by a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee, you will need to contact your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee in order to confirm the answer to this question. If you do not instruct your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee how to vote your Amryt Ordinary Shares, we expect that your Amryt Ordinary Shares will not be voted by your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee on your behalf or counted for purposes of calculating the proportion of votes “FOR” and “AGAINST” the Proposals at the Shareholder Meetings.
There is a “WITHHELD” option to enable you to abstain on the Proposals at the General Meeting (but not the Court Meeting). A vote withheld will count towards the quorum at the General Meeting, however, because a vote withheld is not a vote in law, it will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes “FOR” and “AGAINST” the Proposals at the General Meeting and therefore will have no effect on the outcome of the Proposals at the General Meeting.
Assuming a quorum is present at the General Meeting, failures to vote and withheld votes will have no effect on the outcome of the Scheme Implementation Proposal.
Holders of Amryt ADSs: Registered holders of Amryt ADSs should instruct the Depositary how to vote the Amryt Ordinary Shares underlying their Amryt ADSs at the Shareholder Meetings using one of the methods specified in the ADS voting instruction card, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement.
If the Depositary does not receive timely voting instructions from an Amryt ADS holder, under the terms of the Deposit Agreement, such holder will be deemed to have instructed the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by Amryt to vote the Amryt Ordinary Shares underlying such holder’s Amryt ADSs unless, among other things, Amryt instructs the Depositary that it does not wish for such a proxy to be given. Amryt has instructed the Depositary that it does not wish for such discretionary proxy to be given if the Depositary does not receive timely voting instructions from Amryt ADS holders for the Shareholder Meetings. Accordingly, if the Depositary does not receive timely voting instructions from an Amryt ADS holder on or before 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on March 16, 2023, the Amryt Ordinary Shares underlying such holder’s Amryt ADSs will not be represented at the Shareholder Meetings and will not be voted at the Shareholder Meetings.
If your Amryt ADSs are held by a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee, you will need to contact your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee in order to confirm the answer to this question. If you do not instruct your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee how to vote your Amryt ADSs, we expect that your Amryt ADSs will not be voted by your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee on your behalf or counted for purposes of calculating the proportion of votes “FOR” and “AGAINST” the Proposals at the Shareholder Meetings.
A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee returns a valid proxy but does not vote on a particular proposal because such broker, bank, trust company or other nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote on the matter and has not received specific voting instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares. Amryt does not expect any broker non-votes at the Shareholder Meetings because the rules applicable to brokers, banks, trust companies and other nominees only provide them with discretionary authority to vote on proposals that are considered routine, whereas the Proposals are considered non-routine.
Q:
Can I change or revoke my proxy or voting instructions or change my vote after I have delivered my proxy or voting instructions?
A:
Yes. If you are a shareholder of record of Amryt Ordinary Shares, you can do this in any of the two following ways:
1.
by completing, signing and dating another proxy card and returning it by mail in time to be received at least 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48-hour period falling on a non-working day) before the Court Meeting and/or General Meeting, as applicable, or by submitting a later dated proxy online or electronically via CREST to be transmitted so as to be received by Amryt’s Registrar not later than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48-hour period falling on a non- working day) before the relevant Shareholder Meeting, in which case your later-submitted proxy will be recorded and your earlier proxy revoked; or
2.
by attending and voting your shares at the Court Meeting and/or General Meeting.
11

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Please note, however, that only your last validly delivered or received proxy will count (regardless of its date or of the date of its execution).
If your Amryt Ordinary Shares are held in an account by a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee and you desire to change your vote, you should contact your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee for instructions on how to do so.
If you are a registered holder of Amryt ADSs, you can revoke or change your previous voting instruction by delivering a revocation or modified voting instruction to the Depositary (in the manner specified by the Depositary in the applicable Depositary directions on how to vote Amryt ADSs) that is received by the Depositary by 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on March 16, 2023, or, if either the Court Meeting or the General Meeting is adjourned, such later date as may be notified by the Depositary. If your Amryt ADSs are held in an account by a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee and you desire to change your vote, you should contact your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee for instructions on how to do so.
Q:
What are the conditions to completion of the Transaction?
A:
In addition to the approval of the Scheme Proposal and the Scheme Implementation Proposal by Amryt shareholders as described above, completion of the Transaction is subject to the sanction of the Scheme of Arrangement by the Court and the satisfaction (or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waiver) of a number of other conditions, including the receipt of required antitrust and foreign investment law clearances, the accuracy of Amryt’s and Chiesi’s respective representations and warranties under the Transaction Agreement (subject to certain materiality exceptions) and Amryt’s and Chiesi’s performance of their respective obligations under the Transaction Agreement in all material respects. For a more complete summary of the conditions that must be satisfied or waived prior to completion of the Transaction, see the section entitled “The Transaction Agreement—Conditions to Complete the Transaction” in this scheme circular.
Q:
When do you expect the Transaction to be completed?
A:
Subject to the satisfaction (or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waiver) of the closing conditions described under the section entitled “The Transaction Agreement—Conditions to Complete the Transaction” in this scheme circular, including the approval by Amryt shareholders of the Scheme Proposal and the Scheme Implementation Proposal and the sanction of the Scheme of Arrangement by the Court, Amryt and Chiesi expect that the Transaction will be completed in the first half of 2023. However, it is possible that factors outside the control of both companies could result in the Transaction being completed at a different time or not at all.
Q:
What is the Court Sanction Hearing?
A:
Under the Companies Act, the Scheme of Arrangement requires the sanction of the Court before it can become effective. The Court Sanction Hearing is currently expected to be held in the first half of 2023. Scheme Shareholders are entitled to attend the Court Sanction Hearing, should they wish to do so, in person or through counsel. Instructions for attending the Court Sanction Hearing will be provided on Amryt’s website.
Following sanction of the Scheme of Arrangement by the Court, the Scheme of Arrangement will become effective in accordance with its terms upon a copy of the Court Order being delivered to the Registrar of Companies in England and Wales.
Q:
What happens if the Transaction is not completed?
A:
If the Scheme Proposal or Scheme Implementation Proposal is not approved by Amryt shareholders, or if the Transaction is not completed for any other reason, Amryt shareholders will not receive any payment for their Amryt Ordinary Shares (and Amryt ADS holders will accordingly not receive any payment in respect of their Amryt ADSs) in connection with the Transaction. Instead, Amryt will remain an independent public company and Amryt shareholders and Amryt ADS holders will continue to own their Amryt Ordinary Shares and Amryt ADSs. The Amryt ADSs will continue to be registered under the Exchange Act and listed on Nasdaq. Under certain circumstances, if the Transaction is not completed, Amryt may be obligated to pay Chiesi a $14 million termination fee or may be required to reimburse Chiesi’s actually incurred out-of-pocket Transaction-related expenses up to a cap of $10 million. Please see the section entitled “The Transaction Agreement—Termination Fees and Expenses” in this scheme circular.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Q:
Should I send in my share certificates or other evidence of ownership now?
A:
No, do not send your share certificates now.
There is no requirement for registered Amryt shareholders to take any action with regard to their share certificates. Share certificates in respect of Amryt Ordinary Shares will cease to be valid upon the Scheme of Arrangement becoming effective.
If you are an Amryt ADS holder who holds your Amryt ADSs in certificated form you will, after the effective time, receive a letter of transmittal with an explanation on how to surrender the ADS certificates to the Depositary. Such Amryt ADS holders must sign and return the letter of transmittal, together with their Amryt ADS certificates, to receive any Per ADS Consideration (net of the Amryt ADS Fees and applicable withholding taxes) to which they are entitled.
If you are an Amryt ADS holder who holds your Amryt ADSs in uncertificated form, you will automatically receive any Per ADS Consideration (net of the Amryt ADS Fees and applicable withholding taxes) to which you are entitled and do not need to take any further action.
If your Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs are held on your behalf by a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee, you may receive instructions from your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee as to what action, if any, you need to take to effect the surrender of your Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs in exchange for the Scheme Consideration and the Per ADS Consideration, respectively.
Q:
Who can help answer any other questions I have?

Chiesi’s registered offices are located in Parma, Italy. Chiesi is a privately owned company.
The Transaction (page 45) and the Transaction Agreement (page 83)
On January 8, 2023, Amryt entered into the Transaction Agreement with Chiesi, pursuant to which Chiesi will, subject to the satisfaction (or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waiver) of the conditions to the completion of the Transaction, acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Amryt. The Transaction is to be implemented by means of the Scheme of Arrangement.
The terms and conditions of the Transaction are contained in the Transaction Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this scheme circular. We encourage you to read the Transaction Agreement carefully and in its entirety, as it is the legal document that, along with the Scheme of Arrangement, governs the Transaction.
After completion of the Transaction, Amryt will be a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Chiesi, the Amryt ADSs will be delisted from Nasdaq and deregistered under the Exchange Act, and Amryt will no longer be required to file periodic reports with the SEC.
Transaction Consideration to Amryt Shareholders (page 85)
If the Transaction is completed:
all Amryt Ordinary Shares will be acquired by Chiesi;
holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares as of the record time for the Scheme of Arrangement will have the right to receive for each Amryt Ordinary Share held by them at such time an amount equal to (i) $2.90 in cash, without interest, plus (ii) one Milestone 1 CVR and one Milestone 2 CVR (less any applicable withholding taxes); and
accordingly, holders of Amryt ADSs as of the Effective Time will have the right to receive, for each Amryt ADS, an amount equal to (i) $14.50 in cash (less the Amryt ADS Fees and any applicable withholding taxes) plus (ii) five Milestone 1 CVRs and five Milestone 2 CVRs. Chiesi has agreed to pay the cancellation fees that would otherwise be payable by holders of Amryt ADSs under the Deposit Agreement.
14

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Per Share Cash Consideration is denominated in U.S. dollars. However, Chiesi has appointed the Paying Agent to make available a Currency Conversion Facility to registered holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares (other than the Depositary or any other entity which may hold legal title to the Amryt Ordinary Shares underlying the Amryt ADSs) pursuant to which they will be able to elect (subject to the terms and conditions of the Currency Conversion Facility) to receive the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration in British pounds or Euros at the Average Market Exchange Rate obtained by the Paying Agent through one or more market transactions over one or more business days following the Scheme Record Time before the relevant payment date. The number of transactions, time period required, exchange rates obtained and level of transaction, foreign exchange and dealing costs associated with the conversion will depend on market conditions and the number of Amryt Ordinary Shares in respect of which a valid Currency Election is made. The Average Market Exchange Rate obtained by the Paying Agent will be applied such that all Amryt shareholders who have made a Currency Election will receive the same amount of British Pounds or Euros (as applicable) per Amryt Ordinary Share. For any holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares electing to be paid their aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration in British pounds or Euros (as applicable) pursuant to the Currency Conversion Facility, the amount per Amryt Ordinary Share received may, depending on the prevailing exchange rate, result in a payment below or above the amount that they would have received based on the USD:GBP or USD:Euro exchange rate as at the date of this scheme circular. No Currency Conversion Facility will be made available to holders of Amryt ADSs. Neither Amryt, Chiesi, the Paying Agent nor any of their respective advisers or any person acting on behalf of any one of them shall have any liability to any person for any loss or alleged loss arising from any decision as to the treatment of Currency Elections made under the Scheme of Arrangement on any of the bases set out in this scheme circular or otherwise in connection therewith. See the sections entitled “Scheme Proposal and the Court Meeting and the General Meeting—Explanatory Statement” and “Notes for Making Currency Elections” in this scheme circular for further information.
Any fees arising as a result of a holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares (in certificated, or uncertificated form as at the Scheme Record Time) electing to use the Currency Conversion Facility, must be borne by the holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares who makes such an election.
Recommendation of the Amryt Board; Amryt’s Reasons for the Scheme (page 60)
At a meeting held on January 8, 2023, the Amryt Board unanimously determined (i) that the entry by Amryt into the Transaction Agreement, and the implementation of the Transaction and the Scheme of Arrangement, is fair to and in the best interests of Amryt for the benefit of Amryt’s shareholders as a whole, (ii) that the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Transaction and the Scheme of Arrangement, be and is approved, (iii) to unanimously recommend to the Amryt Shareholders the approval of the Scheme of Arrangement at the Court Meeting and the passing of the Shareholder Resolution at the General Meeting and (iv) to direct that the Scheme of Arrangement be submitted for approval by the Amryt shareholders at the Court Meeting on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement and the Scheme of Arrangement.
Opinion of the Financial Advisor of Amryt
Amryt retained Moelis & Company LLC (“Moelis”) to act as its exclusive financial advisor in connection with the Transaction. At the meeting of the Amryt Board on January 8, 2023 to evaluate and consider approval of the Transaction Agreement and the Transaction, Moelis delivered an oral opinion, which was confirmed by delivery of a written opinion, dated January 8, 2023, addressed to the Amryt Board to the effect that, as of the date of the opinion and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken as set forth in the opinion, the Per Share Consideration to be received by the holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares (other than the Excluded Shares) in the Transaction was fair from a financial point of view to such holders. The full text of Moelis’ written opinion dated January 8, 2023, which sets forth the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached as Annex B to this scheme circular and is incorporated herein by reference. Moelis’ opinion was provided for the use of the Amryt Board (solely in its capacity as such) in its evaluation of the Per Share Consideration. Moelis’ opinion was limited solely to the fairness from a financial point of view of the Per Share Consideration to be received by the holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares (other than the Excluded Shares) in the Transaction and does not address Amryt’s underlying business decision to effect the Transaction or the relative merits of the Transaction as compared

to any alternative business strategies or transactions that might be available to Amryt. Moelis’ opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any holder of securities should vote or act with respect to the Transaction or any other matter.

Interests of Amryt’s Non-Executive Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction (page 76)
In considering the recommendation of the Amryt Board, you should be aware that non-executive directors and executive officers of Amryt may have certain interests in the Transaction that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Amryt shareholders generally. The members of the Amryt Board were aware of and considered these interests in reaching the determination to approve the Transaction Agreement and recommend to the Amryt shareholders that they vote to approve the Proposals. These interests include:
each Option, Specified Option, Irish Option and Irish PSU Award held by Amryt’s non-executive directors and executive officers will vest in connection with the Transaction and the treatment of their options or awards will be in line with other holders of the same options or awards (as described in the section entitled “The Transaction—Interests of Amryt’s Non-Executive Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction” in this scheme circular);
each of Amryt’s executive officers and non-executive directors is entitled to certain severance payments (as described in the section entitled “The Transaction—Interests of Amryt’s Non-Executive Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction” in this scheme circular), which provide severance and other benefits for the executive officers in the case of a qualifying termination of employment in connection with or following a change of control of Amryt, which will include the completion of the Transaction, and for the non-executive directors, a notice of three months under their letter of appointment;
certain executive officers who may be impacted by the excise tax under Section 4999 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) may be reimbursed for such excise tax, subject to certain limitations (as described in the section entitled “The Transaction—Interests of Amryt’s Non-Executive Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction” in this scheme circular); and
Amryt’s directors and officers are entitled to continued indemnification and insurance coverage under the Transaction Agreement (as described in the section entitled “The Transaction—Interests of Amryt’s Non-Executive Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction” in this scheme circular).
See the section entitled “The Transaction—Interests of Amryt’s Non-Executive Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction” in this scheme circular for further information regarding these interests.

a court or other governmental authority of competent jurisdiction has issued an order that permanently enjoins, prevents or prohibits the consummation of the Transaction and such order has become final and nonappealable, except that this right to terminate the Transaction Agreement will not be available to any party (A) whose breach of any provision of the Transaction Agreement was the primary cause of such order or (B) that failed to comply, in any material respects, with its obligations under the Transaction Agreement to prevent the entry of or removal of such order;

18

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Termination Fee and Expense Reimbursement (page 100)
Amryt is required to pay Chiesi the termination fee of $14 million upon:
a Recommendation Change Termination;
a Superior Proposal Termination; or
(1) a Vote-Down Termination or Amryt Material Breach Termination occurs and (2) (A) a bona fide acquisition proposal for a change of control transaction from a third party was publicly announced or made publicly known after January 8, 2023 and was not publicly withdrawn without qualification at least five business days prior to the Court Meeting and General Meeting; and (B) within 12 months of the date on which the Transaction Agreement is so terminated, Amryt enters into a definitive agreement providing for an acquisition proposal for a change of control transaction with a third party (which transaction is ultimately consummated, regardless of whether such consummation is within such 12 month period) or a transaction representing an acquisition proposal for a change of control transaction is completed.
In the event that the Transaction Agreement is terminated by (i) Chiesi pursuant to an Amryt Material Breach Termination or (ii) Amryt pursuant to a Chiesi Material Breach Termination, then in each case, the breaching party must pay (or cause to be paid) to the non-breaching party an amount equal to all of the reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by the non-breaching party in connection with the Transaction Agreement and the Transaction (including in each case any VAT on such expenses, but only to the extent such VAT is not recoverable) up to a maximum amount of $10 million. Such expense reimbursement, to the extent actually paid, will be offset against future termination fees or damages that become payable by the breaching party under the Transaction Agreement.
Treatment of Equity and Equity-Based Awards (page 84)

The nominal value in respect of the Amryt Ordinary Shares issued in settlement of the Irish PSU Awards shall be funded by Amryt DAC, a subsidiary of Amryt.
Payments made to holders of Israeli Options and/or Israeli RSU Awards will be delivered to the trustee appointed by Amryt for the purpose of the Israeli sub-plan governing such awards and may be held by the trustee until the lapse of the mandatory holding period of two years from the date of grant of such Israeli Options or Israeli RSU Awards, as appropriate based on the Israeli Tax law and any options tax ruling to be obtained from the Israel Tax Authorities.
No Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights (page 82)
No appraisal or dissenters’ rights are available to holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares and Amryt ADSs under the laws of England and Wales in connection with the Transaction.
The Voting Agreements (page 103)
In connection with the execution of the Transaction Agreement on January 8, 2023, certain securityholders of Amryt holding securities representing, as of such time, approximately 26% of the Company’s voting power in the aggregate entered into the Voting Agreements with Chiesi.
Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, the relevant securityholders of Amryt have agreed, among other things, to: (i) vote their beneficially owned voting securities of Amryt in favor of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, including any matter necessary for the consummation of the Transaction; and (ii) comply with certain restrictions on the disposition of such securities, in each case subject to the terms and conditions contained therein.
The Voting Agreements will terminate upon the earliest to occur of: (1) the Effective Time; (2) the termination of the Transaction Agreement pursuant to and in compliance with its terms; (3) as to the securityholder that is party to the
20

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Voting Agreement, any amendment to the Transaction Agreement that (a) decreases the amount, or changes the form, of consideration (including changing any of the terms of the CVRs payable under the Transaction Agreement) or (b) changes the treatment of certain convertible securities of the Company under the Transaction Agreement, and (4) as to the securityholder, the written agreement of Chiesi and the securityholder.
The CVR Agreement (page 102)
Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, at or prior to closing of the Transaction, Chiesi and the Rights Agent will enter into the CVR Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Annex C, governing the terms of the CVRs issued pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement. The Rights Agent will maintain an up-to-date register of the holders of CVRs. Holders shall not be permitted to transfer CVRs (subject to certain limited exceptions) and the CVRs shall not be in certificated form.
The Milestone 1 CVR will entitle the holder thereof to receive a payment from Chiesi of $0.20 in cash upon receipt of approval issued by the FDA of Filsuvez, with any such approval to include a labelled indication related to wound healing in patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (or a broader indication), on or prior to December 31, 2024 and the Milestone 2 CVR will entitle the holder thereof to receive a payment from Chiesi of $0.30 in cash upon receipt of a Priority Review Voucher from the FDA in respect of Filsuvez on or prior to December 31, 2024 (or, if Milestone 1 is achieved in December 2024, January 31, 2025). Chiesi has agreed to use “Diligent Efforts” (as defined in the CVR Agreement) to achieve the foregoing milestones.
Because at the closing of the Transaction each holder of Amryt ADSs will receive five Milestone 1 CVRs and five Milestone 2 CVRs per Amryt ADS, upon achievement of Milestone 1, the holder will be entitled to receive $1.00 in CVR payments per Amryt ADS held by such holder and upon achievement of Milestone 2, the holder will be entitled to receive $1.50 in CVR payments per Amryt ADS held by such holder.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Transaction (page 117)
The receipt of cash and CVRs in exchange for Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs pursuant to the Transaction will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The amount of gain or loss a U.S. holder (as defined below in the section of this scheme circular entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Transaction” in this scheme circular), will recognize and the timing and potential character of such gain or loss, depends on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the CVRs and payments (if any) with respect to the CVRs, as to which there is significant uncertainty. U.S. holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs should carefully read the section of this scheme circular entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Transaction” in this scheme circular. If you are a holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs that is a non-U.S. holder (as defined below in the section of this scheme circular entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Transaction” in this scheme circular), you generally will not be subject to tax with respect to the Transaction under U.S. federal income tax laws unless you have certain connections to the United States and certain other conditions are met. We urge you to consult your own tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences to you of the receipt of cash and CVRs in exchange for Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs pursuant to the Transaction, and payments (if any) with respect to the CVRs.
Material United Kingdom Tax Consequences of the Transaction (page 122)
UK Shareholders (as defined below in the section entitled “Material United Kingdom Tax Consequences of the Transaction” in this scheme circular) will, pursuant to the Transaction, be making a disposal for the purposes of UK capital gains tax or corporation tax on chargeable gains (as applicable). Such disposal by a UK Shareholder may, depending on the UK Shareholder’s circumstances and subject to any available allowances, exemptions, reliefs and allowable losses, give rise to a chargeable gain (or an allowable loss) for the purposes of UK taxation on chargeable gains. In computing the amount of the chargeable gain (or allowable loss) arising on such a disposal, it is expected that UK Shareholders should be required to bring into account the maximum amount of the Per Share CVR Consideration or Per ADS CVR Consideration attributable to their Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs, with an adjustment expected to be available in the event that no (or less than the maximum) amount is ultimately payable in respect of the CVRs. Non-UK Shareholders (as defined below in the section entitled “Material United Kingdom Tax Consequences of the Transaction” in this scheme circular) should not generally be liable to UK capital gains tax or corporation tax in respect of the Transaction, unless they have certain connections to the United Kingdom. We recommend that you consult your own tax advisor to determine the particular tax effects to you.

Material Irish Tax Consequences of the Transaction (page 124)
Irish Shareholders (as defined below in the section entitled “Material Irish Tax Consequences of the Transaction” in this scheme circular) will, pursuant to the Transaction, be making a disposal for the purposes of Irish capital gains tax or corporation tax on chargeable gains (as applicable). Such disposal by an Irish Shareholder may, depending on the Irish Shareholder’s circumstances and subject to any available allowances, exemptions, reliefs and allowable losses, give rise to a chargeable gain (or an allowable loss) for the purposes of Irish taxation on chargeable gains. In computing the amount of the chargeable gain (or allowable loss) arising on such a disposal, it is expected that Irish Shareholders should be required to bring into account the maximum amount of the Per Share CVR Consideration or Per ADS CVR Consideration attributable to their Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs, with an adjustment expected to be available in the event that no (or less than the maximum) amount is ultimately payable in respect of the CVRs. We recommend that you consult your own tax advisor to determine the particular tax effects to you.

the risk that Amryt’s business will not be integrated successfully or that such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected;
Chiesi’s ability to fund the aggregate cash consideration for the Transaction;
risks related to future opportunities and plans for the combined company, including the uncertainty of expected future regulatory filings, financial performance and results of the combined company following completion of the Transaction;
Amryt’s or the combined company’s dependence on the achievement of certain Milestones related to the commercialization of Filsuvez;
pharmaceutical product development and the uncertainty of clinical success;

effects relating to the announcement of the Transaction or any further announcements or the consummation of the Transaction on the market price of Amryt ADSs or Amryt Ordinary Shares;
regulatory initiatives and changes in tax laws;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements Amryt makes in this scheme circular are qualified by the information contained or incorporated by reference into this scheme circular, including, but not limited to (i) the information contained under this heading and under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this scheme circular and (ii) the information discussed under the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in Amryt’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. See the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” in this scheme circular.
In addition, while Amryt and Chiesi expect the COVID-19 pandemic to continue to adversely affect their respective business operations and financial results, the extent of the impact on the combined company’s ability to generate sales of and revenues from its approved products, execute on new product launches, its clinical development and regulatory efforts, its corporate development objectives and the value of and market for its ordinary shares, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence at this time. Moreover, other risks and uncertainties of which Amryt or Chiesi are not currently aware may also affect each of the companies’ forward-looking statements and may cause actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from those anticipated. Readers of this scheme circular are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance.
The forward-looking statements made in this scheme circular are made only as of the date hereof or as of the dates indicated in the forward-looking statements and reflect the views stated therein with respect to future events as at such dates, even if they are subsequently made available by Amryt or Chiesi on their respective websites or otherwise. Except as otherwise required by law, neither Amryt nor Chiesi undertakes any obligation, and each expressly disclaims any obligation, to update or supplement any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, new information, future events, changes in its expectations or other circumstances that exist after the date as of which the forward-looking statements were made.

RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information contained or incorporated by reference into this scheme circular, including the matters addressed in the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this scheme circular, Amryt shareholders should carefully consider the following risk factors in determining whether to vote to approve the Proposals.
Risks Relating to the Transaction
There are material uncertainties and risks associated with the Transaction Agreement and the Transaction.
There are material uncertainties and risks associated with the Transaction Agreement and the Transaction. If any of these uncertainties and risks develop into actual events, then Amryt’s business, financial condition, results and ongoing operations, share price or prospects could be materially adversely affected. These uncertainties and risks include the following:
the announcement or pendency of the Transaction may impede Amryt’s ability to retain and hire key personnel and its ability to maintain relationships with its customers, distributors, suppliers or other third parties or its operating results and business generally;
matters relating to the Transaction, including integration planning, may require substantial commitments of time and resources by Amryt’s management and employees and may otherwise divert the attention of management and employees, which may affect Amryt’s business operations;
the Transaction Agreement restricts Amryt’s from engaging in certain actions without the approval of Chiesi, which could prevent Amryt from pursuing certain business opportunities that arise prior to the closing of the Transaction or making appropriate changes to Amryt’s business outside the ordinary course of business (see the sections entitled “The Transaction Agreement—Covenants Regarding Conduct of Business by Amryt Pending the Effective Time” in this scheme circular for a description of the restrictive covenants applicable to Amryt);
Amryt’s directors and executive officers have financial interests in the Transaction that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Amryt shareholders generally, which could have influenced their decisions to support or approve the Transaction; and
potential shareholder litigation in connection with the Transaction may result in significant costs of defense, indemnification and liability.
In addition, Amryt cannot assure you that the Milestones will be met by the applicable deadline date and therefore there is no assurance that any payments will be made pursuant to the CVRs. Please see an overview of the Milestones, the dates by which the Milestones need to be achieved and the efforts that Chiesi needs to use to achieve such Milestones under the section entitled “Agreements Related to the Transaction—CVR Agreement” in this scheme circular.
The Transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all.
Completion of the Transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including the following:
approval by Amryt shareholders of the Scheme of Arrangement and the passing of the special resolution to amend Amryt’s organizational documents and other related matters;
sanction of the Scheme of Arrangement by the Court;
certain regulatory approvals, including expiration, early termination of the waiting period or required consent under the HSR Act and any other applicable antitrust laws and foreign investment laws as specified in the Transaction Agreement;
the absence of any law or order prohibiting consummation of the Transaction;
compliance in all material respects with the obligations of Amryt and Chiesi under the Transaction Agreement;
accuracy of the representations and warranties of Amryt and Chiesi, subject to certain materiality standards set forth in the Transaction Agreement;
the absence of any “Material Adverse Effect” with respect to Amryt (see the section entitled “The Transaction Agreement—Representations and Warranties” in this scheme circular for more information on “Material Adverse Effect”).
25

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Amryt cannot be certain when or if the conditions for the Transaction will be satisfied or (if permissible under applicable law) waived or when or if the Transaction will be completed. For a more complete summary of the conditions that must be satisfied or waived prior to completion of the Transaction, see the section entitled “The Transaction Agreement—Conditions to Complete the Transaction” in this scheme circular and the section entitled “The Transaction—Regulatory and Court Approvals Required for the Transaction” in this scheme circular.
In connection with obtaining antitrust clearance for the Transaction, Chiesi is not required to (1) make divestitures of or take other actions with respect to any assets or businesses of Chiesi or any of its subsidiaries that would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on Chiesi and its subsidiaries (without giving effect to the Transaction), taken as a whole, or (2) make divestitures of or take other actions with respect to any assets or businesses of Amryt or its subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on Amryt and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. There can be no assurance that regulators will not impose conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions and that such conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions will not result in the delay or abandonment of the Transaction. There can be no assurance that all required approvals and clearances will be obtained or will be obtained on a timely basis. See the section entitled “The Transaction Agreement—Efforts to Complete Transaction” in this scheme circular.
Each of Amryt and Chiesi has the right to terminate the Transaction Agreement under certain circumstances (see the section entitled “The Transaction Agreement—Termination of the Transaction Agreement” in this scheme circular).
Lawsuits may be filed against Amryt or Chiesi relating to the Transaction and an adverse ruling in any such lawsuit may prevent the Transaction from being completed in the time frame expected or at all.
In the event that the Transaction is not completed for any reason, Amryt shareholders will not receive any payment for their Amryt ADSs or Amryt Ordinary Shares in connection with the Transaction. Instead, Amryt will remain an independent public company and Amryt shareholders will continue to own their Amryt ADSs and Amryt Ordinary Shares.
Amryt or Chiesi may waive one or more of the closing conditions without re-soliciting shareholder approval.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Amryt and/or Chiesi may determine to waive, in whole or part, one or more of the conditions to their respective obligations to consummate the transaction. Amryt currently expects to evaluate the materiality of any waiver in light of the facts and circumstances at the time to determine whether any amendment of this scheme circular is required in light of such waiver. Any determination as to whether to waive any condition to the consummation of the Transaction, and as to whether to re-solicit shareholder approval and/or amend this scheme circular as a result of such waiver, will be made by Amryt at the time of such waiver based on the facts and circumstances as they exist at that time.
Failure to complete the Transaction could negatively impact Amryt’s business, financial results and the market price of Amryt ADSs.
If the Transaction is delayed or not completed, Amryt’s ongoing businesses may be adversely affected and will be subject to several risks and consequences, including the following:
decline in Amryt ADSs price to the extent that the price of Amryt ADSs reflects an assumption that the Transaction will be completed;
negative publicity and a negative impression of Amryt in the investment community;
negative reactions from employees, customers, distributors, suppliers or other third parties, including the loss of business opportunities and the ability to effectively respond to competitive pressures;
management’s focus would have been diverted from pursuing other opportunities that could have been beneficial to Amryt;
Amryt may be required, under certain circumstances, to pay Chiesi (or its designee) a termination fee of $14 million;
Amryt may be required, under certain circumstances, to reimburse Chiesi for all of the reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Chiesi in connection with the Transaction Agreement and Transaction up to a cap of $10 million; and
Amryt could be subject to litigation related to any failure to consummate the Transaction or related to any enforcement proceeding commenced against Amryt to perform its obligations under the Transaction Agreement.
26

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Amryt’s directors and executive officers may have interests in the Transaction that may be different from the interests of Amryt shareholders.
When considering the recommendation of the Amryt Board that Amryt shareholders approve the Proposals, Amryt shareholders should be aware that directors and executive officers of Amryt may have certain interests in the Transaction that may be different from or in addition to the interests of Amryt shareholders generally, including certain of such directors and executive officers’ rights to receive accelerated payments in respect of outstanding equity awards they hold and entitlement to severance payments and indemnification and insurance coverage in connection with the Transaction. See the sections entitled “The Transaction—Interests of Amryt’s Non-Employee Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction” and “The Transaction Agreement—Indemnification” for further information regarding these interests. The Amryt Board was aware of these interests and considered them, among other things, in evaluating and approving the Transaction Agreement and the Transaction and in recommending that the Amryt shareholders approve the Proposals.
The Transaction Agreement contains provisions that could discourage a potential competing acquirer of Amryt.
Amryt is subject to certain restrictions on its ability to solicit alternative acquisition proposals from third parties, to provide information to third parties, to enter into or continue discussions with third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals, to enter into any commitment with respect to any alternative acquisition proposal, to recommend or approve any alternative acquisition proposal or to change the recommendation of the Amryt Board in favor of the Transaction, subject to customary exceptions. In addition, Amryt may be required to pay Chiesi (or its designee) a termination fee of $14 million in certain circumstances, including if the Transaction Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances following Amryt’s receipt of an alternative acquisition proposal.
These provisions could discourage a potential third-party acquirer that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant portion of Amryt from considering or proposing the acquisition, even if it was prepared to pay consideration with a higher per Amryt ADS value than the value proposed to be received or realized in the Transaction, or might otherwise result in a potential third-party acquirer proposing to pay a lower price to Amryt shareholders than it might otherwise have proposed to pay because of the added expense of the termination fee that may become payable in certain circumstances. For more information see the section entitled “The Transaction Agreement—No Solicitation; Change in Board Recommendation” in this scheme circular and the section entitled “The Transaction Agreement—Termination Fees and Expenses” in this scheme circular.
Amryt has incurred, and will incur, substantial direct and indirect costs as a result of the Transaction.
Amryt has incurred, and will continue to incur, significant costs, expenses and fees for professional advisors, printing and other transaction costs in connection with the Transaction, and a significant portion of these fees and costs are payable by Amryt regardless of whether the Transaction is consummated.
Amryt shareholders may not receive any payment on the CVRs.
The right of Amryt shareholders to receive future payment on the CVRs is contingent upon the occurrence of certain Milestones. In the case of a Milestone 1 CVR, the right to receive $0.20 in cash is contingent upon approval issued by the FDA for Filsuvez, with any such approval to include a labelled indication related to wound healing in patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (or a broader indication) on or prior to December 31, 2024, provided that such approval is not granted by the FDA under 21 C.F.R. §§ 314.510 of FDA’s regulations (i.e., accelerated approval). In the case of a Milestone 2 CVR, the right to receive $0.30 in cash is contingent upon the successful receipt of a Priority Review Voucher from the FDA on or prior to December 31, 2024 (or, if Milestone 1 is achieved during December 2024, January 31, 2025). Amryt may not receive such approval or Priority Review Voucher from the FDA, or may receive them after the applicable deadline for achieving the Milestone has already passed. If these Milestones are not achieved for any reason within the time period specified in the CVR Agreement, no payments will be made under the CVRs, resulting in a lower return for Amryt shareholders, and the CVRs could expire valueless.
Furthermore, the CVRs will be unsecured obligations of the combined company and all payments under the CVRs, all other obligations under the CVR Agreement and the CVRs and any rights or claims relating thereto will be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all current or future senior obligations of the combined company. For more information about the CVR Agreement, see the section entitled “Agreements Related to the Transaction—CVR Agreement” in this scheme circular.
27

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The tax treatment of the CVRs is uncertain.
The tax treatment for certain Amryt Shareholders of the CVRs and payments (if any) with respect to the CVRs is uncertain. In particular, in the United States, there is no legal authority directly addressing the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the receipt of, payments with respect to, or the expiration of, the CVRs, and there can be no assurance that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position that could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders of the CVRs. Accordingly, the amount, timing and character of any income, gain or loss with respect to the CVRs are uncertain. Holders should consult their tax advisors concerning the recognition of income, gain or loss resulting from the receipt of a CVR or the receipt of payment (if any) with respect to the CVR, and carefully read the sections of this scheme circular entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Transaction”, “Material United Kingdom Tax Consequences of the Transaction” and “Material Irish Tax Consequences of the Transaction”.
Other Risk Factors of Amryt
Amryt’s business is and will be subject to the risks described above. In addition, Amryt is, and will continue to be, subject to the risks described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Amryt’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. See the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” in this scheme circular.

Introduction
The following section of this scheme circular explains, among other things, the effect of the Scheme of Arrangement and, together with the further information contained elsewhere in this scheme circular, constitutes the explanatory statement in respect of the Scheme of Arrangement as required by section 897 of the Companies Act. Accordingly, in addition to the information contained in the following section of this scheme circular, your attention is drawn to the further information contained elsewhere in this scheme circular and you are advised to read this scheme circular in full.
On January 8, 2023, it was announced that Amryt and Chiesi had entered into a definitive agreement for Chiesi to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Amryt, in exchange for the aggregate Transaction Consideration by way of a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act.
Your attention is drawn to the section entitled “The Transaction” in this scheme circular, which contains, among other things, (i) information on the reasons for and benefits of the Transaction and (ii) the unanimous recommendation by the Amryt Board to Amryt shareholders to vote in favor of the resolutions to be proposed at the Court Meeting and the General Meeting. The Scheme of Arrangement is set out in full in the section entitled “The Scheme of Arrangement” in this scheme circular.

The Transaction
The Transaction is to be effected by means of the Scheme of Arrangement, a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement between Amryt and the Scheme Shareholders, under Part 26 of the Companies Act. Implementation of the Transaction requires the approval of the Scheme of Arrangement by the Amryt shareholders at the Court Meeting and the approval of the Scheme Implementation Proposal by the Amryt shareholders at the General Meeting. The Scheme of Arrangement also requires the sanction of the Court. The Scheme of Arrangement is set out in full in the section entitled “The Scheme of Arrangement” in this scheme circular.
The purpose of the Scheme of Arrangement is to enable Chiesi to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Amryt. This is to be achieved by Chiesi acquiring the Scheme Shares held by the Scheme Shareholders as at the Scheme Record Time, in return for which the Scheme Shareholders will receive the Scheme Consideration for their Scheme Shares on the basis set out in the Scheme of Arrangement.
If the Transaction is completed:
all Amryt Ordinary Shares will be acquired by Chiesi;
holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares as of the record time for the Scheme of Arrangement will, on the terms set out in the Scheme of Arrangement, have the right to receive for each Amryt Ordinary Share held by them at such time the Scheme Consideration, consisting of an amount equal to $2.90 in cash, plus one Milestone 1 CVR and one Milestone 2 CVR (less any applicable withholding taxes); and
accordingly, holders of Amryt ADSs as of the Effective Time will have the right to receive, for each Amryt ADS, an amount equal to $14.50 in cash (less the Amryt ADS Fees and any applicable withholding taxes) plus five Milestone 1 CVRs and five Milestone 2 CVRs.
The aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration and any payments in respect of the CVRs is expected to be funded by Chiesi through a combination of cash on hand and debt financing.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Currency Conversion Facility
The Currency Conversion Facility is being made available to registered holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares (other than the Depositary) pursuant to which they will be able to elect (subject to the terms and condition of the Currency Conversion Facility) to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration in British pounds or Euro at the Average Market Exchange Rate obtained by the Paying Agent through one or more market transactions over one or more business days following the Scheme Record Time before the relevant payment date. The Currency Conversion Facility is not available to holders of Amryt ADSs.
The Paying Agent intends to obtain the amount of British pounds and Euros required to satisfy Currency Elections through one or more market transactions carried out over one or more business days following the Scheme Record Time. The number of transactions, time period required, exchange rates obtained and level of transaction, foreign exchange and dealing costs and commissions associated with the conversion will depend on market conditions and the number of Amryt Ordinary Shares in respect of which a valid Currency Election is made. However, the Paying Agent will use all reasonable endeavors to obtain the best rate reasonably available in the market (including taking account of the size of the transactions and the time frames within which they are to be executed) at the relevant times and to ensure that the application transaction and dealing costs are on arm’s length market terms. The Average Market Exchange Rate obtained by the Paying Agent will be applied such that all eligible Amryt shareholders who have made a Currency Election will receive the same amount of British pounds or Euros (as applicable) per Amryt Ordinary Share. For any holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares electing to be paid their aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration in British pounds or Euros (as applicable) pursuant to the Currency Conversion Facility, the amount per Amryt Ordinary Share received may, depending on the prevailing exchange rate, result in a payment below or above the amount that they would have received based on the USD:GBP or USD:Euro exchange rate as at the date of this scheme circular.
Any fees arising as a result of a holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares (in certificated, or uncertificated form as at the Scheme Record Time) electing to use the Currency Conversion Facility, must be borne by the holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares who makes such an election.
Further information on how to make a Currency Election is included in the section entitled “Notes for Making Currency Elections” in this scheme circular.

The Scheme of Arrangement will become effective upon a copy of the Court Order being delivered to the Registrar of Companies in England and Wales for registration. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Transaction, including the sanction of the Scheme of Arrangement by the Court, the Effective Time is expected to occur in the first half of 2023.
4.
Shareholder Meetings
Before the Court’s sanction can be sought, the Scheme of Arrangement requires, among other things, approval of the Scheme Proposal by Scheme Shareholders at the Court Meeting. The Scheme Proposal must be approved by a simple majority in number of the Amryt ordinary shareholders present and voting (and entitled to vote), either in person or by proxy, representing at least 75% in value of the Amryt Ordinary Shares in respect of which a vote has been cast. Approval of the Scheme Proposal is required to consummate the Transaction. Amryt shareholders are also being asked to consider and approve the Scheme Implementation Proposal at the General Meeting. The Scheme Implementation Proposal, if approved, will (i) authorize the Amryt Board to take all action necessary or appropriate for carrying the Scheme of Arrangement into effect and (ii) make certain amendments to the Amryt Articles in order to facilitate the Transaction. The Scheme Implementation Proposal will be proposed as a special resolution at the General Meeting, which means that the Scheme Implementation Proposal must be approved by at least 75% of the votes cast by Amryt ordinary shareholders present and voting (and entitled to vote), either in person or by proxy at the General Meeting. Approval of the Scheme Implementation Proposal is required to consummate the Transaction.
Notices of both the Court Meeting and the General Meeting are set out at the beginning of this scheme circular. Entitlement to attend and vote at these meetings and the number of votes which may be cast will be determined by reference to the register of members of Amryt at the Voting Record Time. Entitlement to submit ADS voting instruction cards and the number of votes which an ADS holder may instruct the Depositary to cast on its behalf will be determined by reference to the register of the Amryt ADSs maintained by the Depositary at the Amryt ADS Voting Record Time.
If the Scheme of Arrangement becomes effective, it will be binding on all Scheme Shareholders, irrespective of whether or not they attended or voted at the Court Meeting or the General Meeting.
Date, Time, Place and Purpose of the Court Meeting
The Court Meeting will be held at the offices of Cooley (UK) LLP, 22 Bishopsgate, London EC2N 4BQ, United Kingdom at 1:30 p.m. (London time) on March 22, 2023 for Scheme Shareholders on the register of members as at the Voting Record Time to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Scheme of Arrangement.
At the Court Meeting, voting will be by poll and each Scheme Shareholder present or by proxy will be entitled to one vote for each Amryt Ordinary Share held as at the Voting Record Time. The approval required at the Court Meeting is a simple majority in number of the Amryt ordinary shareholders present and voting (and entitled to vote) in person or by proxy, representing at least 75% in value of the Amryt Ordinary Shares in respect of which a vote has been cast.
31

TABLE OF CONTENTS

You are strongly urged to sign and return your blue form of proxy for the Court Meeting as soon as possible. The completion and return of the forms of proxy will not prevent you from attending, submitting questions and voting at either the Court Meeting or the General Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, if you are entitled to and wish to do so.
Date, Time, Place and Purpose of the General Meeting
The General Meeting will also be held at the offices of Cooley (UK) LLP, 22 Bishopsgate, London EC2N 4BQ, United Kingdom at 1:45 p.m. (London time) on March 22, 2023 for Amryt shareholders on the register of members as at the Voting Record Time to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Scheme Implementation Proposal as a special resolution.
At the General Meeting, voting on each of the Scheme Implementation Proposal will be by poll and each Amryt shareholder present in person or by proxy will be entitled to one vote for each Amryt Ordinary Share held as at the Voting Record Time. The approval required for the Scheme Implementation Proposal to be passed is at least 75% of the votes validly cast on such resolution in person or by proxy.
You are strongly urged to sign and return your yellow form of proxy for the General Meeting as soon as possible. The completion and return of the forms of proxy will not prevent you from attending, submitting questions and voting at either the Court Meeting or the General Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, if you are entitled to and wish to do so.
Amendment to the Articles of Association of Amryt
Amryt Ordinary Shares issued after the Scheme Record Time will not be subject to the Scheme of Arrangement. In order to ensure that Chiesi acquires the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Amryt, it is therefore proposed that, pursuant to the Scheme Implementation Proposal, the Amryt Articles be amended so that Amryt Ordinary Shares issued after the Scheme Record Time (if any), including without limitation, any shares issued as a result of conversion of any convertible loan note instrument or indenture to which Amryt is a party, other than to Chiesi, will be automatically acquired by Chiesi on the same terms as under the Scheme of Arrangement.
It is also proposed that, pursuant to the Scheme Implementation Proposal, the Amryt Articles be amended to ensure that any Amryt Ordinary Shares issued at or after the Voting Record Time but prior to the Scheme Record Time will be subject to the Scheme of Arrangement.
Recommendation of the Amryt Board
The Amryt Board has unanimously approved the Transaction Agreement and the actions required and contemplated therein, including the Transaction, and determined that such actions are advisable and in the best interests of Amryt and its shareholders. The Amryt Board unanimously recommends that Amryt shareholders vote “FOR” the Scheme Proposal at the Court Meeting and “FOR” the Scheme Implementation Proposal at the General Meeting. See “The Transaction—Recommendation of the Amryt Board; Amryt’s Reasons for the Scheme” in this scheme circular for a more detailed discussion of the Amryt Board’s recommendation with respect to the Scheme Proposal and the Scheme Implementation Proposal.
Entitlement to Vote at the Shareholder Meetings
If you hold Amryt Ordinary Shares registered in your own name as of the Voting Record Time, you are entitled to attend the Court Meeting and the General Meeting to vote either in person or to appoint another person or persons as your proxy or proxies to attend and vote on your behalf, in accordance with the procedures further outlined in this scheme circular. You are strongly encouraged to appoint the Chair of the Shareholder Meetings as your proxy.
Holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares who hold their Amryt Ordinary Shares indirectly through a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee must rely on the procedures of such broker, bank, trust company or other nominee in order to assert the rights of a holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares to vote at the Shareholder Meetings. If this applies to you, we encourage you to consult your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee as soon as possible.
If you are a beneficial holder but not the legal holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares then, as a matter of English law, your name is not entered in Amryt’s register of members. Accordingly, if you wish to attend and vote directly (i.e., in your own name) at the Court Meeting or General Meeting, you must become a registered holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares
32

TABLE OF CONTENTS

by arranging for the completion of a stock transfer form or CREST transfer form by the applicable registered holder in respect of the Amryt Ordinary Shares that you wish to be transferred into your name, pay any related UK stamp duty, if applicable, and send the completed stock transfer form (or CREST transfer form) and related documentation (as applicable) to Amryt’s transfer agent, Link Group at Corporate Actions, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds LS1 4DL, United Kingdom, prior to the Voting Record Time. Beneficial holders who wish to attend and vote directly at the Court Meeting or General Meeting should send such stock transfer form (or CREST transfer form) in respect of their Amryt Ordinary Shares to permit processing to be completed by Link Group prior to the Voting Record Time.
If either Shareholder Meeting is adjourned, only those Amryt shareholders on the register of members at 6:00 p.m. (London time) on the date which is two business days before the adjourned meeting will be entitled to attend and vote.
Amryt ADS holders are not entitled to vote directly at the Court Meeting or the General Meeting. Instead, Amryt ADS holders on the Amryt ADS Register as at the Amryt ADS Voting Record Time will be eligible to provide the Depositary with voting instructions for the Shareholder Meetings and will be sent a Depositary Notice of Court Meeting and General Meeting for Amryt Pharma Plc and an Amryt ADS voting instruction card with the voting instructions printed thereon. The voting instructions must be received by the Depositary no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on March 16, 2023, or, if either the Court Meeting or the General Meeting is adjourned, such later date as may be notified by the Depositary.
Holders of Amryt ADSs who hold their Amryt ADSs indirectly through a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee must rely on the procedures of such broker, bank, trust company or other nominee in order to assert the rights of an Amryt ADS holder to issue voting instructions to the Depositary. If this applies to you, we encourage you to consult your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee as soon as possible. Please vote in accordance with the instructions sent to you by your broker, bank, trust company or nominee as soon as possible.
The Depositary will collate all votes properly submitted by holders of Amryt ADSs and submit a vote on behalf of all such holders.
If you are an Amryt ADS holder and you wish to vote directly (whether in person or by proxy) on the Scheme at the Court Meeting or the resolution at the General Meeting, you must elect to become a shareholder of record by surrendering your Amryt ADSs to the Depositary to withdraw the Amryt Ordinary Shares represented by those Amryt ADSs, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, so as to become a registered holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares prior to the Voting Record Time. In order to surrender your Amryt ADSs and withdraw the underlying Amryt Ordinary Shares if you hold Amryt ADSs indirectly through a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee you should contact your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee to make the necessary arrangements to ensure the necessary processing can be completed in time.
Amryt ADS holders who present their Amryt ADSs to the Depositary for cancellation in order to take delivery of Amryt Ordinary Shares will be responsible for the payment of the Depositary’s fees associated with such cancellation ($0.05 per Amryt ADS presented for cancellation), and will need to provide:
(A)
delivery instructions for the Amryt Ordinary Shares represented by such Amryt ADSs (including, if applicable, the name and address of the person who will be the registered holder of such Amryt Ordinary Shares); and
(B)
if the Amryt ADS cancellation is to take place after the Amryt ADS Voting Record Time and before the Voting Record Time, a certification that the Amryt ADS holder:
i.  (x)
beneficially owned the relevant Amryt ADSs at the Amryt ADS Voting Record Time and has not given, and will not give, voting instructions to the Depositary in respect of such Amryt ADSs in relation to the Shareholder Meetings (or has cancelled all voting instructions previously given); or
(y)
beneficially owned the relevant Amryt ADSs as at the Amryt ADS Voting Record Time and has given voting instructions to the Depositary in respect of such Amryt ADSs in relation to the Shareholder Meetings, but undertakes not to vote the Amryt Ordinary Shares represented by such Amryt ADSs at the Shareholder Meetings; or

ii.
did not beneficially own the relevant Amryt ADSs as at the Amryt ADS Voting Record Time, and undertakes not to vote the Amryt Ordinary Shares represented by such Amryt ADSs at the Shareholder Meetings.
Amryt ADS holders who hold their Amryt ADSs through a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee should promptly contact their broker, bank, trust company or other nominee to find out what actions are required to cancel the Amryt ADSs.
Amryt ADS holders who take steps (as described in the paragraphs above) to cancel their Amryt ADSs before 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on March 13, 2023 and become Scheme Shareholders before the Voting Record Time will have the right to attend both Shareholder Meetings (in person or by proxy) and be represented by counsel to support or oppose the sanctioning of the Scheme of Arrangement (subject to the limitations and qualifications above). Any Amryt ADS holder who wishes to cancel their Amryt ADSs to become a Scheme Shareholder should allow sufficient time for the cancellation of their Amryt ADSs and the delivery of their Amryt Ordinary Shares.
Quorum
The presence at the General Meeting of two members present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the General Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum.
5.
The Amryt Directors and the Effect of the Scheme of Arrangement on their Interests
Details of the interests of Amryt directors in the share capital of Amryt and awards in respect of such share capital, are set out in the section entitled “The Transaction—Interests of Amryt’s Non-Employee Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction” in this scheme circular. Scheme Shares held by the Amryt directors at the Scheme Record Time will be subject to the Scheme of Arrangement.
In common with the other participants who hold Irish Options or Irish PSU Awards, the Amryt directors who hold Irish Options or Irish PSU Awards will be able to receive Amryt Ordinary Shares to the extent that such awards vest or options are exercised prior to the Effective Time.
Save as set out in this document, the effect of the Scheme on the interests of the Amryt directors does not differ from the effect on the like interests of other shareholders.
6.
Sanction of the Scheme of Arrangement by the Court
Under the Companies Act, the Scheme of Arrangement also requires the sanction of the Court. The Court Sanction Hearing is currently expected to be held in the first half of 2023. Scheme Shareholders are entitled to attend the Court Sanction Hearing, should they wish to do so, in person or through counsel.
Following sanction of the Scheme of Arrangement by the Court, the Scheme of Arrangement will become effective in accordance with its terms upon a copy of the Court Order being delivered to the Registrar of Companies in England and Wales.
Upon the Scheme of Arrangement becoming effective, it will be binding on all Scheme Shareholders holding Scheme Shares at the Scheme Record Time (including the Depositary), irrespective of whether or not they attended or voted in favor of, or against, the Scheme of Arrangement at the Court Meeting or in favor of, or against, or withheld their vote on the Scheme Implementation Proposal at the General Meeting.
If the Scheme of Arrangement does not become effective by the end date (as defined and further described in the section entitled “The Transaction Agreement—Termination of the Transaction Agreement” in this scheme circular), the Transaction Agreement may be terminated by either Chiesi or Amryt, and the Scheme of Arrangement may not become effective.
7.
Solicitation of Proxies
Amryt will bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the filing, emailing and, where requested, printing and mailing of this scheme circular to Amryt shareholders and the retention of any information agent or other service provider in connection with the Transaction. This proxy solicitation is being made by Amryt on behalf of the Amryt Board. Amryt has hired DF King to assist in the solicitation of proxies at a total cost to Amryt of approximately
34

TABLE OF CONTENTS

£50,0000, plus reimbursement of reasonable additional costs and out-of-pocket expenses. In addition to this mailing, proxies may be solicited by directors, officers or employees of Amryt or its affiliates in person or by telephone or electronic transmission. None of the directors, officers or employees will be directly compensated for such services.
8.
Listings, Dealings, Delisting and Settlement
Delisting of Amryt ADSs
On the closing date, entitlements to Scheme Shares held within CREST will be cancelled, and share certificates in respect of Scheme Shares held in certificated form will cease to be valid documents of title and should be destroyed or, at the request of Chiesi, delivered up to Chiesi, or to any person appointed by Chiesi to receive the same.
As a result of the consummation of the Transaction, Amryt will become a direct subsidiary of Chiesi and it is intended that Amryt will be re-registered as a private company under the applicable provisions of the Companies Act as soon as reasonably practicable after the closing date.
It is intended that the last day for dealings in Amryt ADSs on Nasdaq will be the last business day before the Effective Time or the day of the Effective Time. It is intended that, following the Effective Time, the Amryt ADS program be terminated and that applications be made to delist the Amryt ADSs from Nasdaq and terminate the registration of the Amryt ADSs under the Exchange Act promptly following such time.
Settlement
Subject to the Scheme of Arrangement becoming effective (and subject to certain exceptions in relation to overseas Amryt shareholders), settlement of the Scheme Consideration to which any Amryt shareholder is entitled under the Scheme of Arrangement will be effected within 14 days following the date of the Effective Time in the following manner:
Amryt Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form (i.e., CREST)
If, at the Scheme Record Time, a Scheme Shareholder holds Amryt Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form, the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration to which such Scheme Shareholder is entitled will be transferred to such Scheme Shareholder via CREST by Chiesi procuring the creation of an assured payment obligation in favor of the appropriate CREST account through which the Scheme Shareholder holds such uncertificated Amryt Ordinary Shares in respect of the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration due to such Scheme Shareholder.
The currency of such cash payments will be in accordance with the Currency Elections made by such Scheme Shareholders (other than the Depositary) (the ability to make Currency Elections being described at the sections entitled “Scheme Proposal and the Court Meeting and the General Meeting—Explanatory Statement” and “Notes for Making Currency Elections” in this scheme circular). Each Scheme Shareholder who holds Scheme Shares in uncertificated form at the Scheme Record Time and does not make a valid Currency Election must ensure that an active U.S. dollar Cash Memorandum Account is in place in CREST by no later than the Scheme Record Time. In the absence of a U.S. dollar Cash Memorandum Account, the payment of the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration in U.S. dollars will not settle, resulting in a delay and the settlement of the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration outside of CREST by way of a check drawn on a branch of a clearing bank. Neither Amryt nor Chiesi or any of their respective agents will be responsible for any loss or delay in the transmission of checks sent in this way, and such checks will be sent at the risk of the Scheme Shareholder entitled thereto.
With effect from the Effective Time, each holding of Scheme Shares credited to any stock account in CREST will be disabled and all Scheme Shares will be removed from CREST in due course.
Amryt Ordinary Shares in certificated form
If, at the Scheme Record Time, a Scheme Shareholder holds Amryt Ordinary Shares in certificated form, the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration to which such Scheme Shareholder is entitled will, regardless of currency, be paid by check drawn on a branch of a UK clearing bank.
The currency of such cash payments will be in accordance with the Currency Elections made by such Scheme Shareholders (other than the Depositary) (the ability to make Currency Elections being described at the sections entitled “Scheme Proposal and the Court Meeting and the General Meeting—Explanatory Statement” and “Notes for Making Currency Elections” in this scheme circular). Checks will be mailed to the Scheme Shareholder entitled
35

TABLE OF CONTENTS

thereto at the address as appearing in the register of members of Amryt at the Scheme Record Time or in accordance with any special standing instructions regarding communications. None of Amryt, Chiesi or any of their respective agents will be responsible for any loss or delay in the transmission of checks sent in this way, and such checks will be sent at the risk of the Scheme Shareholder entitled thereto.
Amryt ADSs
Please see section 9 of this Explanatory Statement if you are an Amryt ADS holder.
General
All documents and remittances sent to, from or on behalf of Amryt shareholders will be sent entirely at their own risk.
9.
Amryt ADS Holders
Amryt ADS holders will not be entitled to attend the Court Meeting or the General Meeting or vote directly on the Transaction. Instead, Amryt ADS holders as of the Amryt ADS Voting Record Time will have the right to instruct the Depositary how to vote the Amryt Ordinary Shares underlying the Amryt ADSs with respect to the Transaction, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement. Holders of Amryt ADSs who hold their Amryt ADSs indirectly through a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee must rely on the procedures of such broker, bank, trust company or other nominee in order to assert the rights of an Amryt ADS holder to issue voting instructions to the Depositary.
Voting instructions
Registered Amryt ADS holders as of the Amryt ADS Voting Record Time will be sent a Depositary Notice of Court Meeting and General Meeting for Amryt Pharma Plc and an Amryt ADS voting instruction card. Amryt ADS holders as of the Amryt ADS Voting Record Time can direct the voting of the Amryt Ordinary Shares represented by their Amryt ADSs, subject to the terms of the Deposit Agreement, a copy of which is available free of charge by following the instructions under the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” in this scheme circular.
Amryt ADS holders as at the Amryt ADS Voting Record Time should, if they wish to direct the voting of the Amryt Ordinary Shares represented by their Amryt ADSs held by the Depositary at the Court Meeting and the General Meeting, provide Amryt ADS voting instructions to the Depositary in accordance with the instructions printed thereon. The Amryt ADS voting instructions must be received by the Depositary no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on March 16, 2023, or, if either the Court Meeting or the General Meeting is adjourned, such later date as may be notified by the Depositary.
Amryt ADS holders who hold their Amryt ADSs indirectly through a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee must follow the instructions from such broker, bank, trust company or other nominee if they wish to give voting instructions to the Depositary. Providing voting instructions via a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee may require the provision of information by a particular deadline, well in advance of the deadline to give the Depositary voting instructions, and therefore you are encouraged to reach out to such broker, bank, trust company or other nominee as quickly as possible.
Following timely receipt of valid voting instructions from an Amryt ADS holder, the Depositary will endeavor, insofar as practicable and permitted under the provisions of, or governing, the Amryt Ordinary Shares represented by Amryt ADSs, to vote or cause its nominee to vote (by means of the appointment of a proxy or otherwise) such Amryt Ordinary Shares represented by the Amryt ADSs in respect of which instructions have been received in accordance with those instructions.
If the Depositary does not receive timely voting instructions from an Amryt ADS holder, under the terms of the Deposit Agreement, such holder will be deemed to have instructed the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by Amryt to vote the Amryt Ordinary Shares underlying such holder’s Amryt ADSs unless, among other things, Amryt instructs the Depositary it does not wish for such a proxy to be given. Amryt has instructed the Depositary that it does not wish for such discretionary proxy to be given if the Depositary does not receive timely voting instructions from an Amryt ADS holder for the Shareholder Meetings. Accordingly, if the Depositary does not receive timely voting instructions from an Amryt ADS holder on or before 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on March 16, 2023, the Amryt Ordinary Shares underlying such holder’s Amryt ADSs will not be represented at the Shareholder Meetings and will not be voted at the Shareholder Meetings.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Cancellation of Amryt ADSs so as to become an Amryt ordinary shareholder
Only registered holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares will be entitled to attend and vote at the Court Meeting and the General Meeting.
Accordingly, if Amryt ADS holders themselves wish to attend and vote at the Shareholder Meetings (rather than instructing the Depositary how to vote the underlying Amryt Ordinary Shares on their behalf), they must take steps to exchange their Amryt ADSs for Amryt Ordinary Shares, so that they become registered shareholders of Amryt. In order to do this, Amryt ADS holders must present their Amryt ADSs (and, to the extent that such Amryt ADSs are certificated, the certificates evidencing such Amryt ADSs) to the Depositary for cancellation before 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on March 13, 2023 (subject to the relevant Amryt ADS holder’s compliance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement and payment of the Depositary’s fees), together with:
(A)
delivery instructions for the Amryt Ordinary Shares represented by such Amryt ADSs (including, if applicable, the name and address of the person who will be the registered holder of such Amryt Ordinary Shares); and
(B)
if the Amryt ADS cancellation is to take place after the Amryt ADS Voting Record Time and before the Voting Record Time, a certification that the Amryt ADS holder:
i.  (x)
beneficially owned the relevant Amryt ADSs at the Amryt ADS Voting Record Time and has not given, and will not give, voting instructions to the Depositary in respect of such Amryt ADSs in relation to the Shareholder Meetings (or has cancelled all voting instructions previously given); or
(y)
beneficially owned the relevant Amryt ADSs as at the Amryt ADS Voting Record Time and has given voting instructions to the Depositary in respect of such Amryt ADSs in relation to the Shareholder Meetings, but undertakes not to vote the Amryt Ordinary Shares represented by such Amryt ADSs at the Shareholder Meetings; or
ii.
did not beneficially own the relevant Amryt ADSs as at the Amryt ADS Voting Record Time, and undertakes not to vote the Amryt Ordinary Shares represented by such Amryt ADSs at the Shareholder Meetings.
Amryt ADS holders who hold their Amryt ADSs through a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee should promptly contact their broker, bank, trust company or other nominee to find out what actions are required to cancel the Amryt ADSs.
Amryt ADS holders who present their Amryt ADSs to the Depositary for cancellation in order to take delivery of Amryt Ordinary Shares will be responsible for the payment of the Depositary’s fees associated with such cancellation ($0.05 per Amryt ADS presented for cancellation). Such fee is payable in any event in connection with closing of the Transaction.
Amryt ADS holders who take steps (as described in the paragraphs above) to cancel their Amryt ADSs before 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on March 13, 2023 and become Scheme Shareholders before the Voting Record Time will have the right to attend both Shareholder Meetings (in person or by proxy) and be represented by counsel to support or oppose the sanctioning of the Scheme of Arrangement (subject to the limitations and qualifications above).
Settlement of ADS Transaction Consideration
Prior to the closing, Amryt and Chiesi will establish procedures to ensure (i) that the Depositary will, after the closing, promptly deliver the Per ADS Consideration (net of the Amryt ADS Fees and applicable withholding taxes) to each holder of an Amryt ADS entitled thereto and (ii) if reasonably practicable, unless other arrangements are reasonably acceptable to Amryt and Chiesi, that Amryt ADSs will be treated by the Depositary, as closely as reasonably possible, in the same manner as Amryt Ordinary Shares are treated by the Paying Agent with respect relevant matters specified in the Transaction Agreement. Because we expect that the last day of trading of the Amryt ADSs on Nasdaq will be the trading day prior to the closing date or the closing date, the persons entitled to the Per ADS Consideration will not be known until the first or second trading day following the effective date for the Scheme, which is the date that any trades made on the last day of trading will settle. If the parties reasonably deem necessary in furtherance of the establishment of such procedures, Amryt will enter into one or more amendments or supplementary agreements to the Deposit Agreement that are reasonably acceptable to the Depositary Amryt and Chiesi will deliver any certificates and opinions of counsel reasonably requested by the Depositary in connection therewith. Chiesi has agreed to pay
37

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the cancellation fees that would otherwise be payable by holders of Amryt ADSs under the Deposit Agreement. The Amryt ADS holders will bear all other fees, charges and expenses that they are required to bear under the Deposit Agreement in connection with the receipt of the Per ADS Consideration. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable in respect of Amryt ADSs.
Each Amryt ADS holder entitled thereto will receive for each Amryt ADS (upon surrender of their Amryt ADSs to the Depositary, if their Amryt ADSs are in certificated form) their Per ADS Consideration in U.S. dollars, net of (i) the applicable Amryt ADS Fees and (ii) applicable withholding taxes unless such ADS holder has provided the requisite tax forms prior to the date of payment of the consideration to ADS holders.
Amryt ADS holders who hold their Amryt ADSs in certificated form will, on or after the closing date, receive letters of transmittal with an explanation on how to surrender the Amryt ADSs to the Depositary. Those holders must sign and return the letter of transmittal, together with their Amryt ADS certificates, to receive any Per ADS Cash Consideration (net of the Amryt ADS Fees and applicable withholding taxes to be deducted from the Per ADS Cash Consideration) and the Per ADS CVR Consideration to which they are entitled. Amryt ADS holders who hold their Amryt ADSs in certificated form will, on or after the closing date, receive letters of transmittal with an explanation on how to surrender the Amryt ADSs to the Depositary. Amryt ADS holders who hold their Amryt ADSs in uncertificated form will automatically receive the net Per ADS Cash Consideration (net of the Amryt ADS Fees and applicable withholding taxes to be deducted from the Per ADS Cash Consideration) and the Per ADS CVR Consideration to which they are entitled and do not need to take any further action. Payments to Amryt ADS holders will be made by checks mailed by the Depositary to the address the Depositary has in its records for such Amryt ADS holder.
Any Amryt ADS holders who hold their Amryt ADSs indirectly through a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee within DTC, will receive credit of the funds to their account from their broker, bank, trust company or other nominee. The Depositary will remit the applicable funds (net of the Amryt ADS Fees and any applicable withholding taxes) and the applicable Per ADS CVR Consideration to DTC, and DTC will, in turn, credit the Amryt ADS holder’s broker, bank, trust company or other nominee.
The settlement of the Per ADS Consideration is governed by the terms of the Transaction Agreement and the Deposit Agreement and is a matter that is external to the Scheme of Arrangement. As set out in the Scheme of Arrangement, neither Chiesi nor any member of the Chiesi Group nor the Paying Agent nor Amryt shall have any responsibility or liability under the Scheme of Arrangement for the onwards distribution or transmission to the holders of Amryt ADSs, or to any other person, of the Scheme Consideration due to the Depositary (or any nominee or custodian of the Depositary which is the relevant Scheme Shareholder), albeit that the foregoing does not affect Amryt’s obligations under the Deposit Agreement or any party’s obligations under the Transaction Agreement, including Chiesi’s obligations to pay certain Amryt ADS fees to the Depositary on behalf of the holders of Amryt ADSs for which it is responsible.
10.
Overseas Amryt Shareholders
The availability of the Scheme of Arrangement and the Transaction Consideration to overseas Amryt shareholders may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions. Overseas Amryt shareholders should inform themselves about, and should observe, any applicable legal requirements. It is the responsibility of all overseas Amryt shareholders to satisfy themselves as to their full compliance with the laws of the relevant jurisdiction, including obtaining any governmental, exchange control or other consents which may be required and their compliance with any other necessary formalities which are required to be observed and the payment of any transfer or other taxes due in such jurisdiction. If you are in any doubt regarding such matters, you should consult an independent professional adviser in the relevant jurisdiction without delay.
Overseas Amryt shareholders should consult their own legal and tax advisers with respect to the legal and tax consequences of the Transaction in their particular circumstances.
Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, if, in respect of any Scheme Shareholder with a registered address in a jurisdiction outside the Republic of Ireland, Portugal, the United Kingdom or the United States, Chiesi, any member of the Chiesi Group, or the Rights Agent is advised that the delivery of the CVRs would or might infringe upon the laws of such jurisdiction or would require Chiesi, any member of the Chiesi Group, the Rights Agent or Amryt to observe any governmental or other consent or any registration, filing or other formality with which Chiesi, any member of the Chiesi Group, the Rights Agent or Amryt (as the case may be) would be unable to comply,
38

TABLE OF CONTENTS

or compliance with which by such person is regarded by such person or by Chiesi (in the case of Chiesi, acting reasonably) as unduly onerous, the Rights Agent may, in consultation with Chiesi determine that the CVRs shall not be delivered to such Scheme Shareholder and that such Scheme Shareholders shall instead be entitled to a payment pursuant to the Scheme of an amount per Scheme Share equal to the amount per Scheme Share paid pursuant to the CVR Agreement on the same date as payments to holders of CVRs are made.
11.
Action to be taken
The approval required for the Scheme Proposal at the Court Meeting is a simple majority in number of the Amryt ordinary shareholders present and voting (and entitled to vote) in person or by proxy, representing at least 75% in value of the Amryt Ordinary Shares in respect of which a vote has been cast.
The approval required for the Scheme Implementation Proposal at the General Meeting is approval by at least 75% of the votes cast by Amryt ordinary shareholders present and voting (and entitled to vote), in person or by proxy.
If the Scheme of Arrangement becomes effective it will be binding on all holders of Scheme Shares irrespective of whether or not they attended or voted at the Court Meeting or the General Meeting.
Each copy of this scheme circular mailed to holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares is accompanied by two forms of proxy with instructions for voting. The blue form of proxy corresponds to the Court Meeting and the yellow form of proxy corresponds to the General Meeting. If you hold Amryt Ordinary Shares in your name as a shareholder of record, you should complete and return both proxy cards accompanying this scheme circular to ensure that your vote is counted at both of the Shareholder Meetings, or at any adjournment or postponement of the Shareholder Meetings, regardless of whether you plan to attend the Shareholder Meetings, so as to arrive as soon as possible but in any event at least 48 hours before the relevant meeting (excluding any part of such 48 hour period falling on a weekend or public holiday in the UK). You may also authorize a proxy to vote your shares online or electronically as set out in full on the proxy cards.
If the blue form of proxy relating to the Court Meeting is not lodged by the relevant time, it may be handed to the Chair of the Court Meeting at any time up to the Court Meeting. However, in the case of the General Meeting, if the yellow form of proxy is not lodged so as to be received by the time mentioned above, it will be invalid. The completion and return of either form of proxy will not preclude you from attending the Court Meeting or the General Meeting and voting in person if you so wish.
If you hold your Amryt Ordinary Shares in “street name” through a broker, bank, trust company or other nominee, you must direct your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee to vote in accordance with the instructions you have received from your broker, bank, trust company or other nominee.
The Amryt Board is not currently aware of any business to be acted upon at the Shareholder Meetings other than the matters described in this scheme circular. If, however, other matters are properly brought before the Shareholder Meetings, the persons appointed as proxies will have discretion to vote or act on those matters as in their judgment is in the best interest of Amryt and its shareholders, except that Amryt will comply with any limitations on the exercise of such discretion under applicable law and stock exchange listing rules.
If you hold Amryt Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form through CREST and wish to appoint a proxy or proxies for the Court Meeting (or any adjournment thereof) by using the CREST electronic proxy appointment service, you may do so by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed any voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.
In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a “CREST Proxy Instruction”) must be properly authenticated in accordance with the specifications of Euroclear and must contain the information required for such instructions as described in the CREST Manual. The message (regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or an amendment to the instructions given to a previously appointed proxy) must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by Amryt’s Registrar (ID: RA10) not later than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48-hour period falling on a non-working day) before the time fixed for the Court Meeting or any adjournment thereof. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which
39

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the Amryt’s Registrar is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. If the CREST proxy appointment or instruction is not received by this time, the blue form of proxy may be handed to the Chair of the Court Meeting any time prior to the commencement of the Court Meeting or any adjournment thereof.
CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed any voting service provider(s), to procure that his/her CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. For further information on the logistics of submitting messages in CREST, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.
Amryt may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the CREST Regulations.
Currency Elections by holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares in certificated form
Each holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares in certificated form as at the Scheme Record Time will receive the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration in U.S. dollars, except as may be validly elected otherwise pursuant to the Currency Conversion Facility. Holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares (other than the Depositary) may elect to have the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration paid in British pounds or Euros at the Average Market Exchange Rate obtained by the Paying Agent through one or more market transactions over one or more business days following the Scheme Record Time before the relevant payment date under the Currency Conversion Facility, by completing and returning the red form of Election.
Currency Elections by holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form (that is, in CREST)
Each holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form (that is, in CREST) at the Scheme Record Time will receive the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration in U.S. dollars, except as may be validly elected otherwise pursuant to the Currency Conversion Facility. Holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares (other than the Depositary) may elect to have the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration which is payable to them under the Scheme paid in British pounds or Euros at the Average Market Exchange Rate obtained by the Paying Agent through one or more market transactions over one or more Business Days following the Scheme Record Time before the relevant payment date under the Currency Conversion Facility (by making the relevant TTE Instruction through CREST).
Each holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form at the Scheme Record Time who does not make a valid Currency Election must ensure that an active U.S. dollar Cash Memorandum Account is in place in CREST by no later than the Scheme Record Time. In the absence of a U.S. dollar Cash Memorandum Account, the payment of the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration will not settle, resulting in a delay and the settlement of the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration outside of CREST by check.
Any fees arising as a result of a holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares (in certificated, or uncertificated form as at the Scheme Record Time) electing to use the Currency Conversion Facility, must be borne by the holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares who makes such an election.
The latest time for Link Group to receive your Form of Election will be 1:00 pm (London Time) on March 20, 2023 (or, in the case of an adjournment of the Court Meeting, 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48 hour period falling on a non-working day) before the time appointed for the adjourned meeting). You should allow sufficient time for posting for your Form of Election to be received.
The latest time for receipt of a TTE Instruction through CREST (applicable only for holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form and who wish to make an election under the Currency Conversion Facility) will be 1:00 pm on March 20, 2023 (or, in the case of an adjournment of the Court Meeting, 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48 hour period falling on a non-working day) before the time appointed for the adjourned meeting).
Further details on how to submit your Form of Election or making your TTE Instruction are set forth in the section entitled “Notes for Making Currency Elections” in this scheme circular.

(A)
the directors of the Company (or a duly authorized committee of the directors) be and are hereby authorized to take all such action as they may consider necessary or appropriate for carrying the Scheme into effect; and

Notwithstanding any other provision of these articles or the terms of any resolution, whether ordinary or special, passed by the Company in general meeting, if the Company issues any shares (other than to any member of the Purchaser Group or a nominee of any such person (each such person, a “Purchaser Company”)) at or after the Voting Record Time but before the Scheme Record Time, including without limitation, any shares issued as a result of exercise or vesting of equity awards over shares or other securities in the Company or conversion of any convertible loan note instrument or indenture to which the Company is a party, such shares shall be issued subject to the terms of the Scheme (and shall be Scheme Shares for the purposes of the Scheme) and the original or any subsequent holder or holders of such shares shall be bound by the Scheme accordingly.
(iii)
Subject to the Scheme becoming effective, and notwithstanding any other provision of these articles, if any shares in the Company are issued or transferred to any person other than a Purchaser Company (a “New Member”) after the Scheme Record Time including without limitation, any shares issued as a result of exercise or vesting of equity awards over shares or other securities in the Company or conversion of any convertible loan note instrument or indenture to which the Company is a party (such shares the “Post-Scheme Shares”), such New Member (or any subsequent holder or any nominee of such New Member or any such subsequent holder) will be obliged, upon the Scheme becoming effective (or, if later, upon the issue or transfer of the Post-Scheme Shares to such New Member), to transfer immediately all of its Post-Scheme Shares free of all encumbrances to the Purchaser (or to such other person as may be nominated by the Purchaser) who shall be obliged to acquire (or procure the acquisition by such other person of) all of the Post-Scheme Shares.

If, after the Effective Time, the Company Ordinary Shares shall have been changed to, or exchanged for, a different number or class of shares or securities by reason of any stock dividend, bonus issue, scrip dividend, subdivision, reorganization, merger, consolidation, reclassification, redesignation, recapitalization, share split, reverse share split, combination or exchange of shares, or a stock or scrip dividend shall be declared with a record date falling after the Effective Time, or any similar event shall have occurred, then the amount of any Per Share Cash Consideration and/ or Per Share CVR Consideration due to a New Member for each Post-Scheme Share pursuant to Article 180(iii) above shall be adjusted by the directors of the Company in such manner as the auditors of the Company may determine to be appropriate to provide the Purchaser and the New Members holding any Post-Scheme Share(s) with the same economic effect as contemplated by the Scheme prior to such event.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

THE TRANSACTION
Overview
On January 8, 2023, Amryt entered into the Transaction Agreement with Chiesi. Under the terms of the Transaction Agreement, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth therein, Chiesi will, subject to the satisfaction (or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waiver) of the conditions to the completion of the Transaction, acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Amryt pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement, which is a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under the Companies Act.
Background of the Scheme
The following chronology summarizes the material meetings and events that led to the execution of the transaction agreement. The following chronology does not purport to catalogue every conversation among the Amryt Board, members of Amryt senior management or Amryt’s advisors and other parties.
The Amryt Board and Amryt senior management actively monitor and assess developments in the biopharmaceutical and health care industries and are generally aware of the business activities of, and transactions involving, other companies in the biopharmaceutical and health care industries, particularly those that have businesses that relate to rare and orphan diseases. Amryt senior management periodically interacts with executives from senior management of several other companies in the biopharmaceutical and health care industries, including as part of industry conferences, and occasionally has informal conversations regarding possible strategic transactions.
In addition, on an ongoing basis, the Amryt Board and Amryt senior management regularly evaluate options for achieving Amryt’s long-term strategic goals and enhancing shareholder value in light of the business, competitive, regulatory, financing and economic environment and developments in Amryt’s industry. These options have included periodic assessments of potential business combinations, collaborations or licensing transactions with other biopharmaceutical and health care companies and the sale of Amryt or certain of its assets and the consideration of whether such options would be expected to deliver superior risk-adjusted shareholder value than Amryt’s standalone strategic plan.
In particular, since 2019, Amryt (including through predecessor companies) engaged in a series of transactions to increase its scale and create shareholder value. In May 2019, Amryt entered into an agreement to acquire Aegerion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Aegerion”) through a restructuring of Aegerion, which transaction was completed in September 2019. As a result of the acquisition of Aegerion, Amryt expanded its portfolio of rare disease assets, with the combined business having two approved commercial products, lomitapide (Lojuxta/Juxtapid) and metreleptin (Myalept/Myalepta). In the transaction, Amryt issued contingent value rights to its pre-closing shareholders, issued and raised additional equity and arranged for an expanded loan facility for the combined company. In July 2020, Amryt listed the Amryt ADSs for trading on Nasdaq. In May 2021, Amryt entered into an agreement to acquire Chiasma, Inc., giving it a third approved commercial product, octreotide (MYCAPSSA). During this period, Amryt also evaluated and entered into discussions for potential licensing arrangements with respect to other products, which were not completed.
Also during this period, Amryt (including through predecessor companies) continued to develop products in its clinical pipeline. In particular, it continued to develop its lead product candidate, Oleogel-S10, for the treatment of partial thickness wounds of severe Epidermolysis Bullosa (“EB”), to be marketed under the brand name Filsuvez, and AP103, for the treatment of patients with Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa.
From time to time, including during this period, Amryt senior management and representatives of Moelis, who had served as financial advisor to Amryt on prior transactions, periodically received informal approaches and outreach from other strategic companies in the industry and private equity firms expressing interest in potential transactions involving Amryt. Amryt ultimately did not make available non-public due diligence information or engage in significant discussions with respect to any of these approaches because it did not believe that any of them was likely to lead to a transaction more attractive than Amryt’s standalone business plan, but Amryt and Moelis took note of the counterparties that may be interested in a strategic transaction with Amryt and the Amryt Board was generally kept apprised of key communications in this regard from time to time.
As a result of the foregoing, Amryt’s periodic review of potentially available strategic opportunities and discussions with other participants in the biopharmaceutical and health care industries, Amryt believes it is generally aware of the opportunities for strategic transactions and acquisitions involving companies in the biopharmaceutical and health care industries generally and Amryt in particular.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Amryt and Chiesi have from time to time discussed or been involved in discussions related to Chiesi acquiring some or all of Amryt. For example, on or about January 11, 2022, Dr. Joseph A. Wiley, Chief Executive Officer of Amryt, spoke informally with Giacomo Chiesi, Head of Global Rare Diseases at Chiesi, at the 40th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference. During this conversation, Mr. Chiesi indicated to Dr. Wiley that Chiesi has been following Amryt and would be interested in being considered as a potential acquiror of Amryt should the Amryt Board decide to consider proposed acquisitions. Dr. Wiley informed Mr. Chiesi that Amryt was not considering such a transaction, but Mr. Chiesi could contact Moelis to express their interest. The closing price of the Amryt ADSs on Nasdaq on the day prior to this conversation was $10.05 per Amryt ADS.
Following the January 11 conversation, Mr. Chiesi contacted a representative of Moelis. Following that outreach, on April 1, 2022, members of Chiesi senior management and representatives of Moelis had a call to discuss Chiesi’s interest in acquiring Amryt. The representatives of Moelis indicated that the Amryt Board was not considering a sale.
On or about April 26, 2022, the Chief Executive Officer of a global biopharmaceutical company publicly traded in a non-U.S. jurisdiction (which we refer to herein as “Party A”) contacted Dr. Wiley and indicated that Party A was interested in potentially acquiring Amryt. Dr. Wiley indicated that Amryt was not for sale and, while the Amryt Board would consider any proposal consistent with its fiduciary duties, he did not expect that the Amryt Board would be at all interested in pursuing a transaction at a value based on a traditional premium over the recent Amryt ADS market price, particularly given the recent dislocation in Amryt’s trading price and the trading prices of life sciences companies more generally in the spring 2022. The Chief Executive Officer of Party A indicated that Party A may deliver a more formal indication of interest in due course. Dr. Wiley discussed this conversation with the Amryt Board at a meeting of the Amryt Board on May 3, 2022.
On May 5, 2022, the Chief Executive Officer of Party A sent a letter to Raymond T. Stafford, Non-Executive Chairman of the Amryt Board, and Dr. Wiley in which Party A made a non-binding indication of interest to acquire Amryt for $12.00 in cash per Amryt ADS (the “Party A Initial Proposal”), representing a 43% premium to the prior day closing price of $8.40 per Amryt ADS. The Party A Initial Proposal was based on public information available to Party A and was subject to numerous conditions, including completion of due diligence and receiving irrevocable commitments from certain of Amryt’s shareholders. The Party A Initial Proposal was promptly provided to the Amryt Board, which was thereafter kept regularly apprised of developments.
Following receipt of the Party A Initial Proposal, Dr. Wiley confirmed receipt of the letter to the Chief Executive Officer of Party A. On May 11, 2022, a representative of Moelis discussed the letter with a senior executive of Party A, and on May 13, 2022, Dr. Wiley held a follow-up call with the Chief Executive Officer of Party A regarding the terms of the proposal.
On May 20, 2022, the Amryt Board held a meeting via videoconference, with attendance from Rory P. Nealon, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Amryt, and representatives of Moelis and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP (“Gibson Dunn”), Amryt’s outside counsel for securities matters. At the meeting, the Amryt Board discussed the Party A Initial Proposal and correspondence Dr. Wiley had held with the Chief Executive Officer of Party A in connection therewith, and representatives of Moelis presented preliminary financial information about Amryt and the Party A Initial Proposal. The Amryt Board also discussed Amryt’s standalone prospects and recent trading prices, which had not fully recovered from a significant decline in February 2022. Following discussion, the Amryt Board determined that the Party A Initial Proposal was not likely to promote the success of Amryt for the benefit of its shareholders as a whole and as a result that the Amryt Board was not interested in pursuing the proposal or any related discussions.
On May 23, 2022, Dr. Wiley informed the Chief Executive Officer of Party A by email that the Amryt Board had rejected the Party A Initial Proposal because it fundamentally undervalued Amryt.
On June 1, 2022, the Chief Executive Officer of Party A called Dr. Wiley and indicated that Party A was prepared to increase its proposal if it could first be provided confidential information regarding Amryt. Dr. Wiley indicated that Amryt was not prepared to provide confidential information on the basis of the Party A Initial Proposal and so Party A should provide an updated proposal if it wanted the Amryt Board to consider providing confidential information.
On June 27, 2022, the Chief Executive Officer of Party A sent a letter to Dr. Wiley and the Amryt Board in which Party A made a non-binding proposal to acquire Amryt for up to $16.00 in cash per Amryt ADS, consisting of an upfront payment of $13.00 in cash per Amryt ADS, plus a contingent value right per Amryt ADS that would entitle the holder to payments of up to $3.00 per contingent value right based on the achievement of net sales milestones

for Amryt’s marketed products, plus such holder’s pro rata interest in a newly-created public company to be spun-out to Amryt shareholders that would hold Amryt’s Filsuvez assets and preclinical pipeline assets (“Filsuvez NewCo”), which would be initially funded by Party A and have certain royalty obligations to Party A based on future performance (the “Party A Second Proposal”). The Party A Second Proposal represented an 81% (122% based on the Party A-attributed value to the contingent value rights) premium to the prior day closing price of $7.20 per Amryt ADS. The Party A Second Proposal was based on public information available to Party A and was subject to numerous conditions, including completion of due diligence and receiving irrevocable commitments from certain of Amryt’s shareholders.
On June 28, 2022, Dr. Wiley confirmed receipt of the letter to the Chief Executive Officer of Party A and indicated that the Amryt Board and Amryt’s advisors would need time to analyze the Party A Second Proposal.
On July 12, 2022, Dr. Wiley and Mr. Stafford had a dinner with the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board of Party A to get to know each other better. During the dinner, the representatives of Amryt indicated that the Amryt Board had not yet met to evaluate the Party A Second Proposal, but that the proposal was expected to be considered at the Amryt Board’s next scheduled meeting in early August. Dr. Wiley also indicated his belief that the Amryt Board would reject the Party A Second Proposal on the basis that it undervalued Amryt. Based on discussion during the dinner regarding a potential equity component to a transaction, Dr. Wiley further stated his view that the Amryt Board was not opposed to accepting equity consideration in a potential transaction that otherwise fairly valued Amryt so long as it did not introduce incremental closing certainty risk and the equity was freely tradable by Amryt shareholders. Dr. Wiley and Mr. Stafford also noted that they believed that the proposed spin-off of Filsuvez NewCo would introduce significant execution risk and logistical issues.
On August 3, 2022, the Amryt Board held a meeting in New York, with attendance from Mr. Nealon and representatives of Moelis and Gibson Dunn. At the meeting, the Amryt Board discussed the Party A Second Proposal, and representatives of Moelis presented preliminary financial analysis of Amryt and the Party A Second Proposal. The Amryt Board discussed the potential difficulties in forming and separating Filsuvez NewCo as contemplated by the Party A Second Proposal, the execution risk this would introduce and whether it was feasible for Filsuvez NewCo to operate as a standalone public company. The representatives of Moelis also presented information about other transactions that may be available to Amryt, including other potential parties that may be interested in acquiring or combining with Amryt (including the parties that had previously expressed interest in a proposed transaction to Amryt senior management or Moelis). Following discussion, the Amryt Board determined that the Party A Second Proposal was not likely to promote the success of Amryt for the benefit of its shareholders as a whole and, as a result, that the Amryt Board should reject it. The Amryt Board discussed the possibility that Party A or another counterparty would be able to make a proposal that would deliver superior risk adjusted value than Amryt’s standalone strategic plan and the merits and risks of soliciting further proposals, including the risk of a leak. Following discussion, the Amryt Board authorized the Amryt senior executives to share selected additional information about Amryt (including a management presentation and selected financial information) with Party A in order to assist Party A in improving its proposal, subject to Party A entering into a customary confidentiality agreement. The Amryt Board also authorized Moelis to contact a limited number of potential strategic transaction counterparties to gauge their interest in potentially acquiring Amryt, including Chiesi and another international pharmaceutical company with a rare disease platform (which we refer to herein as “Party B”). The potential counterparties were selected due to the assessment of the Amryt Board and management, based on input from Moelis (which included factors such as historical inbound interest), that they represented the parties with the highest likelihood of being willing and able to make a compelling proposal to acquire Amryt. The Amryt Board and management made this assessment based on the potential counterparties’ history of expressing interest in Amryt, the perceived strategic fit between each of them and Amryt and their perceived ability to transact at the current time at a significant premium. At the meeting, Amryt management presented a preliminary draft of its 10-year standalone management forecasts for Amryt to the Amryt Board solely for illustrative purposes, and discussion ensued regarding the key assumptions and sensitivities underlying such forecasts and the directors’ views thereof. Following this discussion, the Amryt Board approved the use of an updated version of the forecasts for distribution to interested counterparties that had entered into confidentiality agreements with Amryt. The Amryt Board also instructed Amryt senior management aware of the potential transaction not to have any discussions with potential counterparties regarding continued employment following the consummation of any possible transaction or the terms of any such continued employment without Board approval and instructed the Amryt Board members and Amryt senior management to identify to the Amryt Board on a prompt basis any relationships or actual or potential conflicts of interest with any of the parties with whom Amryt was having discussions for consideration by the Amryt Board. Separately at the meeting of the Amryt Board,

the Amryt Board reviewed the proposed economic terms of Amryt’s proposed engagement under which Amryt would formally retain Moelis as its exclusive financial advisor for the proposed transaction. The Amryt Board noted that it was prepared to proceed with formalizing Moelis’ engagement on these terms, subject to final revision by Amryt senior management.
On August 5, 2022, Dr. Wiley informed the Chief Executive Officer of Party A by email that the Amryt Board had determined that the Party A Second Proposal undervalued Amryt and accordingly was a not a basis to transact, but that Amryt would share selected additional information about Amryt with Party A if that would assist Party A in improving its proposal and if such information was shared pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement.
During the remainder of August, Amryt prepared a management presentation and financial presentation regarding Amryt to provide to Party A to assist Party A improve the terms of its proposal and assist any other interested potential counterparties in making informed proposals.
On August 10, 2022, on behalf of Amryt, a representative of Moelis provided a form confidentiality agreement prepared by Cooley LLP (“Cooley”), counsel to Amryt for the transaction, to a Party A senior executive. The form confidentiality agreement (which was also provided to other parties as noted below) included a 24-month standstill restriction that would always permit Party A to make confidential proposals to the Amryt Board but did not otherwise contain fallaway provisions. From this time through the execution and delivery of the confidentiality agreement, representatives of Cooley and Party A’s legal counsel negotiated the terms of the confidentiality agreement.
On August 25, 2022, Amryt and Party A entered into a confidentiality agreement. The agreement included a 12-month standstill which did not provide for fallaway provisions.
The confidentiality agreement entered into between Amryt and Party A and each of the other confidentiality agreements entered into by Amryt discussed below contained standstill restrictions of varying durations (but never less than 12 months) but always permitted the counterparty to make confidential proposals to the Amryt Board.
Beginning in late August and continuing until mid-September, in accordance with the Amryt Board’s direction from the August 3 meeting, representatives of Moelis contacted six potential strategic counterparties to gauge their interest in a potential strategic transaction with Amryt, including Chiesi and Party B. Each of the potential counterparties that was contacted was invited to express an interest in acquiring Amryt and was offered to attend a management presentation and receive preliminary information about Amryt pursuant to a confidentiality agreement. In accordance with the Amryt Board’s direction from the August 3 meeting, each of the proposed counterparties was informed that at least one other party had expressed interest in a transaction that had already been rejected and Amryt would not be interested in considering proposals that had traditional premiums to market price, and as a result, proposals would likely need to value Amryt at a fully diluted equity value of least $1 billion. The four potential counterparties other than Chiesi and Party B did not engage in meaningful discussions with Amryt or otherwise pursue a potential transaction with Amryt.
On August 26, 2022 and September 8, 2022, Amryt senior management made a management presentation and financial presentation, respectively, to Party A senior management and certain of Party A’s advisors. Following these meetings, representatives of Moelis and Party A discussed next steps on Party A conducting further due diligence of Amryt. Answers to initial due diligence requests were provided, however, representatives of Moelis informed Party A that further information requests would be declined until a revised proposal was received from Party A and reviewed by the Amryt Board.
On August 30, 2022, representatives of Moelis contacted a Party B senior executive in accordance with the Amryt Board’s direction from the August 3 meeting. On September 7, 2022, the Party B senior executive indicated that Party B was interested in acquiring Amryt, and Moelis provided the executive a form confidentiality agreement on the same day. On September 8, 2022, Party B provided proposed revisions to the form confidentiality agreement, accepting a 24-month standstill. On September 12, 2022, Amryt and Party B entered into a confidentiality agreement.
On September 16, 2022, a representative of Moelis contacted Mr. Chiesi in accordance with the Amryt Board’s direction from the August 3 meeting. Mr. Chiesi indicated that Chiesi was interested in further assessing Amryt for a potential transaction, and Moelis provided him a form confidentiality agreement on the same day. On September 20, 2022, Chiesi provided proposed revisions to the form confidentiality agreement, including a 12-month standstill. On September 23, 2022, Amryt and Chiesi entered into a confidentiality agreement with an 18-month standstill.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On September 19 and 23, 2022, Amryt senior management made a management presentation and financial presentation, respectively, to Party B senior management. Thereafter Party B submitted high priority due diligence requests to representatives of Moelis.
On September 24, 2022, representatives of Moelis provided materials for a management presentation and financial presentation with Chiesi, which Amryt senior management presented in early October. During this time period Chiesi also submitted high priority due diligence requests to representatives of Moelis.
On October 9, 2022, Party A informed Moelis that Party A intended to submit a revised non-binding proposal to acquire Amryt during the following week or shortly thereafter.
On October 10, 2022, Party B informed Moelis that Party B had hired financial advisors for the proposed transaction and intended to submit a non-binding proposal to acquire Amryt during the following week or shortly thereafter.
Also in early to mid-October, representatives of Moelis engaged in initial conversations about a proposed transaction with another potentially interested counterparty (“Party G”) who had initially contacted Amryt on an unsolicited basis. Ultimately this party did not provide a proposal.
On October 18, 2022, representatives of Chiesi informed Moelis that Chiesi had hired Centerview Partners LLC (“Centerview”) as its financial advisor for the proposed transaction and intended to submit a non-binding proposal to acquire Amryt during the following week.
On October 22, 2022, Ugo Di Francesco, Chief Executive Officer of Chiesi, and Marco Vecchia, Group General Counsel of Chiesi, sent a letter with a non-binding proposal for Chiesi to acquire Amryt for up to $13.00 in cash per Amryt ADS, consisting of an upfront payment of $12.00 in cash per Amryt ADS, plus a contingent value right per Amryt ADS that would entitle the holder to payments of $1.00 per contingent value right upon the approval by the FDA of Filsuvez for the treatment of EB by June 30, 2024 (the “Chiesi Initial Proposal”), representing a 74% (88% including the Chiesi-attributed value of the contingent value rights) premium to the prior closing price of $6.90 per Amryt ADS. The Chiesi Initial Proposal was subject to numerous conditions, including completion of due diligence on an expedited basis and negotiating a definitive agreement for the proposed transaction.
On October 24, 2022, the Chief Executive Officer of Party A sent a letter to Dr. Wiley and the Amryt Board in which Party A made a revised non-binding proposal to acquire Amryt for a stated value of up to $16.00 per Amryt ADS, consisting of an upfront payment of $9.00 in cash per Amryt ADS, plus $4.00 in shares of Party A per Amryt ADS (with amount determined based on the volume weighted average price of shares of Party A), plus a contingent value right per Amryt ADS that would entitle the holder to payments of up to $3.00 per contingent value right based on the achievement of various FDA approval and net sales milestones (the “Party A Third Proposal”), representing an 88% (132% including the Party A-attributed value of the contingent value rights) premium to the prior closing price of $6.90 per Amryt ADS. The Party A Third Proposal was subject to numerous conditions, including completion of due diligence and receiving irrevocable commitments from certain of Amryt’s shareholders.
On October 27, 2022, representatives of Moelis confirmed with Party A’s financial advisor that Amryt was reviewing the Party A Third Proposal. On the same day, representatives of Moelis confirmed with representatives of Centerview that Amryt was reviewing the Chiesi Initial Proposal but noted that Amryt had already rejected proposals that were higher than the Chiesi Initial Proposal. The representatives of Centerview indicated in response that Chiesi would be prepared to improve the terms of its proposal if it were granted access to additional due diligence information promptly and the information would support the improvement.
On November 1 and 2, 2022, the Amryt Board held a meeting in London, with attendance from Mr. Nealon and representatives of Moelis, Cooley and Gibson Dunn. At the meeting on November 1, the Amryt Board discussed the 10-year standalone management forecasts for Amryt and the key assumptions and sensitivities that had been considered in connection with the preparation thereof, including the updates following the August 3 meeting. See the section entitled “—Certain Amryt Forecasts” for further information on such forecasts. Representatives of Moelis reviewed preliminary financial analyses of Amryt, the Party A Third Proposal and the Chiesi Initial Proposal. Representatives of Moelis also reviewed the status of the outreach to potential counterparties authorized at the August 3 meeting, including that no proposal had yet been received by Party B even though Party B had previously indicated that they intended to submit a proposal prior to the Amryt Board meeting. Dr. Wiley advised the Amryt Board that it was unclear if Party B still intended to submit a proposal. The Amryt Board discussed with management and Amryt’s advisors the proposals, including the risks and potential benefits of the continued operation of Amryt as a standalone company relative to the value of the proposals, the willingness and ability of Chiesi and Party A to
49

TABLE OF CONTENTS

improve the terms of its proposal and whether other parties, including Party B, would likely be willing and able to offer better terms. Following discussion, the Amryt Board determined that neither the Chiesi Initial Proposal nor the Party A Third Proposal, on its current terms, was likely to promote the success of Amryt for the benefit of its shareholders as a whole and, as a result, that the Amryt Board was not interested in pursuing them absent further improvement. Based on the status of these discussions, the Amryt Board determined that no transaction would likely to be completed based on the current proposals and the Amryt Board’s assessment of Amryt’s standalone prospects. The Amryt Board determined that it would not respond to Party A pending any proposal received from Party B (as the Amryt Board had already rejected two proposals from Party A) and could discuss the response to Party A at its next meeting to be held on November 7, 2022, but directed Moelis to reject the Chiesi Initial Proposal on the basis that it fundamentally undervalued Amryt.
Later on November 1, in accordance with the Amryt Board’s direction, representatives of Moelis contacted Centerview and informed Centerview that the Amryt Board had rejected the Chiesi Initial Proposal because it fundamentally undervalued Amryt but that Amryt was scheduled to have a follow-on Board meeting on November 7 and that Chiesi should consider submitting an improved proposal for consideration at that Board meeting.
In early November, Party B and its advisors continued to engage with Moelis and Amryt and show interest in making a proposal to acquire Amryt. On November 3, 2022, representatives of Party B contacted Moelis and informed Moelis that Party B’s internal deliberations about the proposed transaction had gone well and that Party B intended to submit a proposal within the next few days. On the following day, representatives of Party B contacted Moelis and informed Moelis that Party B’s board of directors would be reviewing the proposed transaction before Party B submitted a proposal. On November 7, 2022, representatives of Party B contacted Moelis and informed Moelis that, following Party B’s internal deliberations about the proposed transaction, Party B had determined to pause their pursuit of the proposed acquisition of Amryt but could consider making a proposal at a later time.
On November 5, 2022, Mr. Di Francesco and Mr. Vecchia sent a letter to Amryt with a non-binding proposal for Chiesi to acquire Amryt for up to $16.00 in cash and shares per Amryt ADS, consisting of an upfront payment of $13.50 in cash per Amryt ADS, plus a contingent value right per Amryt ADS that would entitle the holder to payments of up to $2.50 per contingent value right based on the achievement of various FDA approval milestones relating to Filsuvez by June 30, 2024 (the “Chiesi Second Proposal”), representing a 96% (132% based on the Chiesi-attributed value of the contingent value rights) premium to the last closing price of $6.90 per Amryt ADS. The Chiesi Second Proposal was subject to numerous conditions, including completion of due diligence and negotiating a definitive agreement for the proposed transaction. In the Chiesi Second Proposal, Chiesi indicated that they wanted to move forward to sign a definitive agreement regarding the transaction by December 5.
On November 7, 2022, the Amryt Board held a meeting by videoconference, with attendance from Mr. Nealon and representatives of Moelis and Gibson Dunn. At the meeting, representatives of Moelis provided a summary on the communications to date with Chiesi (including providing a summary of the Chiesi Second Proposal), Party A (including the fact that no updated proposal had been provided yet) and Party B (including noting its recent message that it was pausing its pursuit of the proposed acquisition). The representatives of Moelis also presented information about other transactions that may be available to Amryt, including other potential parties that may be interested in acquiring or combining with Amryt. Representatives of Moelis discussed that it was unlikely that a financial sponsor would be able to offer a price per Amryt ADS higher than the terms of Chiesi Second Proposal. The Amryt Board considered the status of discussions with Chiesi, Party A and Party B, including the terms of the most recent proposals and whether other potential counterparties would likely be willing and able to offer better terms. Following discussion, the Amryt Board determined that the Chiesi Second Proposal and the Party A Third Proposal still undervalued Amryt relative to its standalone prospects and therefore did not represent a basis to transact. However, the Amryt Board agreed that if Chiesi and Party A would increase the upfront consideration in their respective proposals to at least $14.00 per Amryt ADS, Amryt management was authorized to grant such party access to a virtual data room containing non-public information regarding Amryt, the ability to hold functional diligence calls and a draft transaction agreement in order to elicit such party’s best and final offer. The Amryt Board also authorized Moelis to contact selected additional potential counterparties to gauge their interest in potentially acquiring Amryt. The potential counterparties were selected based on their history of expressing interest in Amryt (if applicable), the perceived strategic fit between each of them and Amryt and their perceived ability to transact at the current time. Based on this information and process, the Amryt Board expected to have sufficient information by mid-December to determine whether there were likely to be any proposals that would be deemed by the Amryt Board to be promote the success of Amryt for the benefit of its shareholders as a whole relative to Amryt’s standalone prospects.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Additionally, the Amryt Board also instructed Moelis to manage interactions with select financial sponsors, who had repeatedly expressed unsolicited inbound interest in Amryt, included a private equity firm focused on the healthcare industry (which we refer to herein as “Party D”) and two other private equity firms (which we refer to herein as “Party E” and “Party F”).
The Amryt Board also determined to create a transaction committee for convenience (and not to address any actual or perceived conflict), to consist of Mr. Stafford, Dr. Wiley and one additional director, to assist with the process for considering proposals (without the authority to approve any proposals) in case necessary or advisable to act on these matters for the Amryt Board, although the situation never arose requiring the committee to formally meet.
Later on November 7, representatives of Moelis separately contacted Centerview on behalf of Chiesi and a Party A senior executive and informed them that the Amryt Board had rejected each of their respective proposals but informed them of the basis on which the Amryt Board would be willing to grant the parties virtual data room access and a draft transaction agreement. During the call with Party A, the representative of Moelis also noted that at least one other party had expressed interest in a transaction that had already been rejected.
The representatives from Centerview later confirmed to representatives of Moelis that Chiesi could potentially increase the upfront cash component of the Chiesi Second Proposal to at least $14.00 per Amryt ADS, pending completion of its confirmatory due diligence. Representatives of Moelis thereafter informed them that Chiesi and its advisors would be provided additional information and began to coordinate further due diligence going forward.
Beginning on November 9, 2022 (following the call on November 7 between Chiesi and Moelis) and continuing through early December, in accordance with the Amryt Board’s direction from the November 7 meeting, representatives of Moelis engaged with 15 potential strategic counterparties, as well as four private equity firms that had previously expressed unsolicited interest in acquiring Amryt, including Party D, Party E and Party F. Each of the potential counterparties that was contacted was invited to express an interest in acquiring Amryt and was offered to attend a management presentation and receive preliminary information about Amryt pursuant to a confidentiality agreement. Each of the counterparties was given guidance on the process consistent with the guidance from the outreach in late August and early September, and informed that any interested counterparty would be expected to provide an indication of interest and move forward quickly, with a definitive agreement providing for a transaction to be able to be signed as early as late December. As described in more detail below, following this outreach, Party D, Party E and Party F expressed an interest in acquiring Amryt and entered into a confidentiality agreement, and all but Party F attended a management presentation. The other of these potential counterparties did not engage in discussions with Amryt or otherwise pursue a potential transaction with Amryt.
On November 10, 2022, the financial advisor of a private pharmaceutical company (which we refer to herein as “Party C”) reached out to Dr. Wiley on an unsolicited basis to discuss Party C’s interest in potentially acquiring Amryt. Dr. Wiley directed Party C’s financial advisor to Moelis for further information.
On November 14, 2022, the Chief Executive Officer of Party A sent a letter to Dr. Wiley and the Amryt Board in which Party A made a non-binding proposal to acquire Amryt for up to $17.00, consisting of an upfront payment of $9.00 in cash per Amryt ADS, plus $5.00 in shares of Party A per Amryt ADS (with amount determined on the volume weighted average price of shares of Party A), plus a contingent value right per Amryt ADS that would entitle the holder to payments of up to $3.00 per contingent value right based on the achievement of various FDA approval and net sales milestones by December 31, 2025 (the “Party A Fourth Proposal”), representing a 90% (131% based on the Party A-attributed value of the contingent value rights) premium to the latest closing price of $7.37 per Amryt ADS. The Party A Fourth Proposal was subject to numerous conditions, including completion of due diligence and receiving irrevocable commitments from certain of Amryt’s shareholders.
On November 15, 2022, Dr. Wiley met with executives from Party D, Party E and Party H at a healthcare convention, at which each party expressed potential interest in acquiring Amryt.
On November 17, 2022, following consultation with Amryt senior management, representatives of Moelis spoke with representatives of Party A and its financial advisor and informed them that Party A and its advisors would be provided virtual data room access on the basis of the Party A Fourth Proposal, and Moelis began to coordinate further due diligence going forward.
Beginning on November 17, 2022 and continuing through the signing of the transaction agreement, Amryt made additional confidential information about Amryt and its businesses available to Chiesi and its advisors through a virtual data room to permit it to conduct its due diligence reviews. Amryt also responded to due diligence inquiries
51

TABLE OF CONTENTS

from Chiesi and its advisors and provided functional due diligence sessions with Amryt senior management, which began the following week. Beginning on November 18, 2022 and continuing through December 24 as described below, Amryt made additional confidential information about Amryt and its businesses available to Party A and its advisors through a virtual data room to permit it to conduct its due diligence reviews. Amryt also responded to due diligence inquiries from Party A and its advisors and provided functional due diligence sessions with Amryt senior management.
On November 18, 2022, Party C’s financial advisor contacted representatives of Moelis to discuss Party C’s interest in entering into a transaction with Amryt, which could involve a strategic combination of the two companies. The representatives of Moelis expressed Amryt’s willingness to consider any proposal from Party C and gave further information as noted above regarding the status, value expectations and timing.
On November 18, 2022, representatives of Cooley had separate videoconferences with Dechert LLP (“Dechert”), Chiesi’s legal counsel, and with Party A’s legal counsel to discuss the proposed transaction, Amryt’s timing expectations for providing a draft transaction agreement and the terms expected to be included in the draft transaction agreement. From that time through the delivery of each party’s initial markup of the transaction agreement, representatives of Cooley held a number of discussions with each party’s legal counsel to discuss the transaction agreement. At the meeting with Party A’s legal counsel, the parties also discussed the impact of the proposed equity consideration on the potential transaction given that Party A’s shares were not listed in the United States and agreed to have further discussions on this topic.
On November 21, 2022, representatives of Amryt, Party A, Moelis, Cooley, Party A’s financial advisor and Party A’s legal counsel had a videoconference to discuss Party A’s positions with respect to the equity component of the consideration proposed by Party A, including that Party A did not intend to register its shares with the SEC or list its shares on a U.S. stock exchange in connection with the proposed transaction. Amryt and its advisors noted that it was important that the equity would be freely transferrable upon receipt by Amryt shareholders, and that the equity component of the consideration would not delay or impede the consummation of the proposed transaction. Party A and its advisors agreed to review these items further and report further conclusions. Representatives of Amryt and Party A continued to discuss these items on several subsequent calls.
On November 22, 2022, Party D was introduced to representatives of Moelis following Dr. Wiley’s meeting with executives from Party D at a healthcare convention on November 15, 2022. Subsequently, Moelis provided Party D with a form confidentiality agreement.
On November 25, 2022, Amryt senior management (including Mr. Nealon) met with Party A senior management in Dublin and by videoconference to discuss organizational matters, information regarding Amryt and its employees and how Amryt’s operations could be combined with Party A’s operations.
On November 28, 2022, Moelis sent a formal relationship disclosure statement to Amryt, which identified prior or current engagements or relationships between Moelis and certain potential counterparties. On January 7, 2023, Moelis sent an updated disclosure statement to the Amryt Board. The Amryt Board concluded that, based upon the information provided by Moelis in such disclosure statements, Moelis did not have any relationships that would be likely to impair its ability to provide independent advice to the Amryt Board.
On November 29, 2022, representatives of Moelis contacted each of Chiesi and Party A and/or their respective financial advisors to discuss next steps. In particular, the representatives of Moelis indicated that a form transaction agreement prepared by Cooley would be provided soon, each party would be expected to provide any comments to Cooley by mid-December. Thereafter, representatives of Moelis conducted periodic discussions with each of these parties regarding timelines and next steps and communicated a deadline for revised written proposals of mid-December.
On November 30, 2022, representatives of Cooley distributed to each of Dechert on behalf of Chiesi and Party A’s legal counsel on behalf of Party A a form transaction agreement providing the proposed transaction and requested feedback on the form transaction agreement by December 12, 2022. The form transaction agreement contemplated that the proposed transaction would be completed pursuant to a scheme of arrangement for cash plus contingent value rights, though the recipients were instructed to make appropriate changes for their proposed form of consideration. The form transaction agreement included customary terms and conditions for such an agreement, including (1) that the transaction would be fully financed and not subject to a financing contingency, (2) a customary non-solicitation provision with a “fiduciary out” provision that would allow the Amryt Board to change its recommendation in favor
52

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of the transaction following receipt of an unsolicited superior proposal or following the occurrence of an intervening event and/or terminate the agreement to accept an unsolicited superior proposal, in each case subject to certain notice and match rights and the payment by Amryt of a termination fee of 1% of Amryt’s net asset value of Amryt in certain circumstances, (3) the obligation of the acquiror to take all actions necessary to obtain required regulatory approvals and (4) limitations on the types of clinical or pre-clinical trial results, side effects or actions by governmental authorities, including failures to grant marketing approvals, that could be taken into account in determining whether a “material adverse effect” had occurred with respect to Amryt (the “specified MAE carve-outs”). The form transaction agreement also contemplated that certain to be determined large shareholders of Amryt would sign voting and support agreements that would terminate if the Amryt Board changed its recommendation in favor of the transaction.
On December 1, 2022, Party C’s financial advisor reached out to representatives of Moelis to confirm Party C’s interest in a transaction with Amryt and requested a meeting with Amryt’s senior management. On December 2, 2022, Amryt entered into a confidentiality agreement with Party D. On December 3, 2022, Amryt entered into a confidentiality agreement with Party F. On December 6, 2022, Amryt entered into a confidentiality agreement with Party C. Following the execution of the confidentiality agreement with the applicable party, Moelis provided initial non-public information to Party C and Party D for consideration by such party and began working to schedule management presentations.
On December 7, 2022, the Amryt Board held a meeting in London, with attendance from Mr. Nealon and representatives of Moelis, Cooley and Gibson Dunn. The representatives of Moelis reviewed the status of the discussions with the various counterparties that had indicated an interest in acquiring Amryt (including each of Chiesi, Party A, Party C and Party D), including reviewing the terms of the most recent proposals, the ongoing due diligence reviews and proposed next steps. The Amryt Board also discussed with its advisors the rationale provided by the parties that had been contacted that had not elected to proceed. In particular, several indicated that they were interested in Amryt but would likely not be able to make a proposal consistent with the guidance that had been provided or were unable to make a proposal due to specific circumstances at their respective company. Representatives of Cooley also reviewed the key terms of the form transaction agreement that had been prepared and distributed to Chiesi and Party A and identified the terms that each party would likely seek to negotiate further.
On December 8, 2022, representatives of Cooley and Dechert had a videoconference to discuss questions regarding the form transaction agreement. The representatives of Dechert indicated that Chiesi intended to accept the construct of the form transaction agreement in general and would provide comments on the agreement the following week.
Also on December 8, Party A’s legal counsel provided to Cooley Party A’s proposed markup to the form transaction agreement. The markup to the transaction agreement contemplated that Party A would pay the transaction consideration in the form of cash, equity of Party A and contingent value rights, consistent with the Party A Fourth Proposal. The transaction agreement markup, among other things, (1) added new closing conditions to facilitate the equity issuance, (2) did not include representations, warranties, covenants or closing conditions relating to Party A customary for acquisition agreements providing for significant equity consideration which would afford Amryt protection against events that could impact the value of the equity received, (3) did not provide for a method for the equity to be freely tradeable by the Amryt shareholders that would be available to all Amryt shareholders, (4) required the payment by Amryt of a termination fee of 3% of the implied transaction value in certain circumstances (including beyond those initially contemplated by the form transaction agreement), (5) limited the actions Party A would be required to take to obtain required regulatory approvals and (6) expanded the events and circumstances that may be taken into account in determining whether a “material adverse effect” had occurred that would permit Party A to not close the transaction, including by removing the specified MAE carve-outs. The markup to the transaction agreement and a draft voting agreement provided by Party A separately also contemplated that a number of large shareholders of Amryt would sign irrevocable voting support agreements that would remain in place even if the Amryt Board changed its recommendation in favor of the transaction and would obligate the signatories to retain the Party A equity they received in the transaction for a meaningful lock-up period following closing of the transaction.
Also on December 8, Dr. Wiley and Mr. Nealon met with Party D senior management in London and then later attended a dinner to discuss the transaction opportunity. Following the dinner meeting, Party D contacted representatives of Moelis to confirm Party D’s interest in pursuing a transaction. The representatives of Moelis indicated that Amryt had already received proposals, was allowing selected parties to conduct diligence and that
53

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Party D would have to move quickly because the Amryt Board may be evaluating proposals by the week of December 19th. Party D indicated interest in potentially submitting an offer by such date and that they would confirm later in the week if they would move forward. Moelis also shared a management presentation with Party D representatives following the call.
Party D said it would work to assess the information and would advise Moelis if it intended to provide a proposal as soon as possible and would provide updates if it was unable to do so.
Also on December 8, Amryt senior management (including Dr. Wiley and Mr. Nealon) met with Party E in London to discuss the transaction opportunity. In advance of the meeting, Amryt and Party E entered into a confidentiality agreement. Party E later indicated that it was interested in Amryt but would pause its evaluation effort on Amryt based on the existing competitive and timing dynamics, but would be willing to re-engage in January 2023 if Amryt did not enter into a strategic transaction in the interim.
On December 9, 2022, Dr. Wiley and Mr. Nealon met with Party C senior management in London to discuss the transaction opportunity.
Also on December 9, Amryt senior management (including Dr. Wiley and Mr. Nealon) met with a private equity firm (which we refer to as “Party H”) in London to discuss Amryt on a preliminary basis. Party H had previously indicated preliminary interest in a proposed transaction with Amryt and had reached out on November 25, 2022 to a member of Amryt’s management team to schedule this meeting.
On December 10, 2022, Dr. Wiley and Mr. Nealon had a call with Chiesi’s senior management (including Mr. Chiesi) to discuss organizational matters, information regarding Amryt and its employees and the transaction opportunity.
On December 11, 2022, representatives of Moelis contacted representatives of Centerview to discuss the status of Chiesi’s review of the proposed transaction and expected next steps. The representatives of Moelis confirmed the valuation and timing expectations that had previously been provided and indicated that Amryt would likely want to present updated proposals from interested counterparties to the Amryt Board by mid to late-December.
On December 12, 2022, representatives of Dechert provided to representatives of Cooley Chiesi’s proposed markup to the form transaction agreement. The markup to the transaction agreement, among other things, (1) limited the extent to which certain option holders would receive the full implied value of their options in the proposed transaction, (2) provided that the termination fee would be an unspecified amount greater than 1% of Amryt’s net asset value, (3) provided for additional termination fee triggers beyond those initially contemplated by the form transaction agreement, (4) generally accepted Amryt’s proposal regarding the actions Chiesi would be required to take to obtain regulatory approvals for the transaction, subject to such actions not having a material adverse effect on Chiesi or Amryt, (5) generally accepted Amryt’s proposed “material adverse effect” definition other than removal of the specified MAE carveouts, and (6) added an obligation of Amryt to reimburse Chiesi for its actually incurred expenses in the event that the transaction agreement was terminated because Amryt shareholders did not approve the transaction or due to Amryt’s uncured material breach. The markup to the transaction agreement also contemplated that certain large shareholders of Amryt would sign irrevocable voting and support agreements that would remain in place even if the Amryt Board changed its recommendation in favor of the transaction.
Also on December 12, Party C’s financial advisor contacted representatives of Moelis and confirmed that Party C was still interested in entering into a transaction with Amryt and was in the process of further reviewing the transaction. The representatives of Moelis informed Party C that it would have to move quickly because the Amryt Board may be evaluating proposals as early as mid to late-December.
On December 13, 2022, Dr. Wiley had dinner with the Chief Executive Officer of Party A. During the dinner, the Chief Executive Officer of Party A identified items that they thought could impact the price per share Party A would be prepared to offer, and Dr. Wiley reminded him that other parties had expressed interest in acquiring Amryt and the Amryt Board was expecting the parties to increase the terms of their respective proposals. Following the discussion, the Chief Executive Officer of Party A reiterated Party A’s interest in the transaction.
On December 14, 2022, representatives of Moelis spoke with Party D. The representatives of Party D indicated that Party D had decided to move forward and was working to submit a proposal by the week of December 19. Thereafter, Party D provided additional supplementary questions and scheduled calls with Moelis to discuss Amryt’s financial model, which occurred during the following days.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On December 15, 2022, representatives of Cooley, Moelis, Gibson Dunn, Party A’s legal counsel and Party A’s financial advisor had a videoconference to discuss Amryt’s concerns regarding the use of equity as a component of the scheme consideration based on the existing formulation as proposed by Party A in their revisions to the form transaction agreement. In particular, representatives of Cooley informed Party A’s advisors that Party A would have to provide for a method for the equity to be freely tradeable by Amryt’s shareholders.
Later on December 15, representatives of Cooley had a videoconference with each of Dechert and Party A’s legal counsel to provide feedback on the proposed markup to the transaction agreement that had been received from each proposed counterparty, following consultation with Amryt senior management. The representatives of Cooley requested that Chiesi and Party A each provide a revised proposed markup to the form transaction agreement by December 20, 2022 reflecting as much of the feedback as such proposed counterparty was prepared to accept. In particular, the representatives of Cooley indicated to each proposed counterparty that, among other things (1) Amryt was not prepared to accept a termination fee greater than 1% of the implied transaction value, (2) Amryt would disfavor expansions to the events that would give rise to the payment of a termination fee or an expense reimbursement (highlighting the specific items in each proposed markup), (3) Amryt would disfavor expansion of events that might cause a “material adverse effect”, including any removal of the specified MAE carveouts, and (4) that the voting and support agreements to be signed by certain large shareholders of Amryt should not be irrevocable but should terminate if the Amryt Board changed its recommendation in favor of the transaction. In addition, the representatives of Cooley indicated to Party A’s legal counsel that the transaction agreement should not have additional conditionality as a result of the share consideration, should include customary representations, warranties, covenants and conditions to reflect the inclusion of the share consideration, should provide for a method for the equity to be freely tradeable as discussed on the call earlier that day and should provide for a higher commitment on the part of Party A to take actions necessary to obtain required regulatory approvals. They also noted that the large shareholders of Amryt should not be bound by post-closing lockups on the Party A equity received in the transaction.
Also on December 15, representatives of Moelis contacted representatives of Party C’s financial advisor to discuss the status of Party C’s review of the proposed transaction and expected next steps. The representatives of Moelis indicated that Amryt would likely want to present updated proposals from interested counterparties to the Amryt Board by December 22. On December 19, 2022, Party C’s financial advisor said Party C was working to provide a proposal by the requested deadline and requested a further management call to discuss business diligence matters.
On December 16, 2022, representatives of Moelis contacted representatives of Centerview to discuss the status of Chiesi’s review of the proposed transaction and expected next steps. The representatives of Moelis indicated that Amryt would likely want to present updated proposals from interested counterparties to the Amryt Board during the week before Christmas.
Also during mid-December, Mr. Nealon and Mr. Chiesi had several conversations to discuss the interim business operations of Amryt during the pendency of the transaction. During one of these conversations, Mr. Chiesi indicated to Mr. Nealon that it might be logistically difficult to finalize any transaction promptly following the final bid submission deadline if the proposals were not due until the week of December 19 and that Chiesi may therefore condition its final proposal on receiving some form of exclusivity protection.
On December 19, 2022, Amryt senior management made a management presentation to Party D.
On December 20, 2022, each of Dechert and Party A’s legal counsel provided to Cooley a revised proposed markup to the form transaction agreement on behalf of each of Chiesi and Party A, respectively, based on feedback provided to each party by Cooley on December 15. The markup to the transaction agreement provided on behalf of Chiesi addressed most of the items discussed with Dechert on December 15. However, the markup provided on behalf of Chiesi (1) limited the extent to which certain option holders would receive the full implied value of their options in the proposed transaction, (2) provided for a mutual expense reimbursement obligation payable by a party in the event the other party terminated the agreement for uncured material breach and (3) added new closing conditions regarding certain tax matters.
The markup to the transaction agreement provided on behalf of Party A addressed several of the items discussed with Party A’s counsel on December 15. However, the markup provided on behalf of Party A (1) continued to include additional events that could be deemed to be a “material adverse effect” relative to the form transaction agreement and Chiesi’s draft, (2) only had partial protections for Amryt for events related to Party A that could impact the value of the equity received, (3) did not provide a firm commitment that the equity consideration would be freely tradable

upon closing, (4) expanded the events that would give rise to the payment of a termination fee as compared to the form transaction agreement and Chiesi’s draft, (5) generally provided for a weaker commitment for Party A to take actions to obtain required regulatory approvals relative to the form transaction agreement and Chiesi’s draft, (6) continued to require that the voting and support agreement to be signed by certain large shareholders of Amryt should be irrevocable and (7) did not address whether the large shareholders of Amryt would be bound by post-closing lockups on the Party A equity received in the transaction.
Also on December 20, Dr. Wiley and Mr. Nealon had a call with Party A senior management to discuss organizational matters, information regarding Amryt and its employees and the transaction opportunity.
On the morning of December 21, 2022, Dr. Wiley received a call from the Chief Executive Officer of Party A. He indicated that Party A remained very interested in acquiring Amryt, but Party A would need to finalize its review of Amryt and the pro forma impact of the consummation of the proposed transaction on Party A before it would be prepared to execute a definitive transaction agreement. A representative from Moelis had a similar call with a Party A senior executive later that day.
Later in the day on December 21, 2022, the Amryt Board held a meeting by videoconference, with attendance from Mr. Nealon and representatives of Moelis, Cooley and Gibson Dunn. The representatives of Moelis reviewed the status of the discussions with the various counterparties that had indicated an interest in acquiring Amryt (including each of Chiesi, Party A, Party C and Party D), including reviewing the terms of the most recent proposals, the ongoing due diligence reviews being conducted by the proposed counterparties, the reverse due diligence that Amryt senior management had conducted on Party A and proposed next steps. They indicated that each of these proposed counterparties had indicated that it expected to provide an updated proposal by the following day. Dr. Wiley updated the Amryt Board on his conversations with the Chief Executive Officer of Party A. Representatives of Cooley reviewed the status of negotiation of the draft transaction agreements with each of Chiesi and Party A, noting the initial comments made by such parties, the responses provided to Dechert and Party A’s legal counsel, the status of Cooley’s ongoing review of the revised draft transaction agreements received on December 20 and possible key terms that the Amryt Board may seek to negotiate further. They also discussed how the draft transaction agreements compared on the basis of various considerations of value, certainty to closing and deal protection terms. The representatives of Cooley also discussed remaining open issues relating to the equity component of the consideration proposed by Party A. The Amryt Board discussed proposed next steps for considering proposals that may be received the next day, and representatives from each of Moelis and Cooley noted that they would provide additional information on the terms of each potential counterparty’s proposals at the next Board meeting.
Later on December 21, representatives of Moelis contacted each of Centerview on behalf of Chiesi, and a senior executive at Party A and Party A’s financial advisor to discuss next steps. Centerview indicated that it expected Chiesi to provide an updated proposal on the following day and would expect to proceed to a prompt signing of the transaction agreement if its proposal was accepted. A Party A senior executive and Party A’s financial advisor indicated that Party A continued to make progress on the transaction and expected to provide an updated proposal on the following day but that it may need more time to finalize its review of Amryt and the pro forma impact of the consummation of the proposed transaction before being prepared to execute the transaction agreement.
Also on December 21, 2022, Amryt senior management made a presentation to Party C and its advisors regarding certain business diligence matters.
On December 22, 2022, four parties provided updated proposals or indications of interest to acquire Amryt, as follows:
Chiesi submitted a written proposal to acquire Amryt for up to $16.70 in cash per Amryt ADS, consisting of an upfront payment of $14.20 in cash per Amryt ADS, plus a contingent value right per Amryt ADS that would entitle the holder to payments of up to $2.50 per contingent value right based on the achievement of various FDA approval milestones relating to Filsuvez by June 30, 2024 (the “Chiesi Third Proposal”), representing a 99% (134% using the Chiesi-attributed value of the contingent value rights) premium to the last closing price of $7.14 per Amryt ADS. In the Chiesi Third Proposal, Chiesi indicated that it would complete the transaction on the terms of the draft transaction agreement provided by Dechert to Cooley on December 20, it expected to announce the transaction within 14 days following acceptance of the proposal and it requested an exclusivity period during which the parties would finalize the terms of the transaction.
56

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Party A submitted an oral proposal to Moelis to acquire Amryt for no less than $17.00 per Amryt ADS, consisting of an upfront payment of $9.00 in cash per Amryt ADS, plus $5.00 in shares of Party A per Amryt ADS (with amount determined on the volume weighted average price of shares of Party A), plus a contingent value right per Amryt ADS that would entitle the holder to payments of up to $3.00 per contingent value right based on the achievement of various FDA approval milestones relating to Filsuvez and net sales milestones by December 31, 2025 (the “Party A Fifth Proposal”). Party A would complete the transaction on the terms of the draft transaction agreement provided by Party A’s counsel to Cooley on December 20 with further adjustments. Party A also indicated the potential to modify the contingent value rights relating to Filsuvez and also provide that Amryt shareholder would receive its pro rata interest in a newly-formed Filsuvez NewCo. The Party A Fifth Proposal was subject to numerous conditions, including completion of due diligence and that Amryt continue to work with Party A on its assessment of the pro forma impact of the consummation of transaction on Party A. Party A indicated that it expected to be able to announce the transaction within a few weeks.
Party C submitted a written non-binding proposal to acquire Amryt for $11.50 in cash per Amryt ADS (the “Party C Initial Proposal”). The Party C Initial Proposal was subject to numerous conditions, including completion of due diligence, negotiating a definitive agreement for the proposed transaction and receipt of third-party debt financing for the transaction.
Party D submitted a written non-binding proposal to acquire Amryt for up to $10.49 in cash per Amryt ADS, consisting of an upfront payment of $9.25 in cash per Amryt ADS, plus contingent value rights per Amryt ADS that would entitle the holder to payments of up to $1.24 per contingent value right based on the achievement of various FDA approval milestones relating to Filsuvez and the sale of a Filsuvez related priority review voucher (the “Party D Initial Proposal”). The Party D Initial Proposal was subject to numerous conditions, including completion of due diligence, negotiating a definitive agreement for the proposed transaction and receipt of third-party debt financing for the transaction.
Following receipt of each of these proposals, representatives of Moelis engaged in conversations with each party about their proposals. Each party indicated their desire to advance the discussions promptly.
Also on December 22, representatives of Cooley contacted representatives of Dechert to discuss several questions regarding the most recent draft transaction agreement that had been provided on behalf of Chiesi, in particular the treatment of outstanding Amryt options in the transaction. Later that day, representatives of Cooley, Dechert, Moelis and Centerview met to discuss this issue further.
On December 23, 2022, a representative of Moelis discussed the Party A Fifth Proposal with a Party A senior executive. The senior executive again expressed Party A’s desire to proceed with negotiations of the proposed transaction and finalize the analysis of the pro forma impact of the consummation of the proposed transaction. The senior executive also reiterated Party A’s view of the potential structuring of the Filsuvez NewCo and that it represented an attractive alternative form of consideration.
Later on December 23, 2022, the Amryt Board held a meeting by teleconference, with attendance from Mr. Nealon and representatives of Moelis, Cooley and Gibson Dunn. The representatives of Moelis reviewed the status of the discussions with the various counterparties that had indicated an interest in acquiring Amryt, including reviewing the terms of the most recent proposals received on December 22 from each of Chiesi, Party A, Party C and Party D and the status of each proposed counterparty’s work to date on the transaction. The representatives of Moelis reviewed preliminary financial analyses of Amryt and the proposed transaction. The representatives of Cooley reviewed the status of negotiation of the draft transaction agreements with each of Chiesi and Party A, noting the terms of the draft transaction agreements received on December 20, the improvements in each draft agreement since the initial draft was received and possible terms that the Amryt Board may seek to negotiate further. They also discussed how the draft transaction agreements compared on the basis of various considerations of value, certainty to closing and deal protection terms, and the Amryt Board discussed its view that the terms proposed by Chiesi were more favorable to Amryt in the aggregate, carried less execution risk and would be easier to finalize on a timely basis than the terms proposed by Party A. The Amryt Board discussed the proposals that had been received and whether it was in the best interests of Amryt to pursue any of the proposals further or for Amryt to terminate discussions and continue to operate as a standalone company, taking into account the Amryt Board’s assessment of the risk adjusted value of such proposals relative to Amryt’s standalone prospects and the risks and upsides to Amryt’s strategic plan. The Amryt Board discussed proposed changes that could be made to each of the proposals and Chiesi’s request for exclusivity.
57

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Amryt Board discussed the risks and uncertainties regarding each proposal, whether Chiesi was willing and able to complete the transaction on the terms provided, whether the Amryt Board believed it likely that any party would be willing and able to offer terms more favorable to Amryt than Chiesi and whether Chiesi would be prepared to further negotiate the proposed transaction without exclusivity. Following discussion, the Amryt Board determined to direct Dr. Wiley and Amryt’s advisors to seek to revise the terms of the Chiesi Third Proposal to obtain an increase in $0.30 per Amryt ADS in cash in the upfront consideration to be paid at closing (so that the total consideration would be at least as high as all other proposals received) and additional changes to the terms of the contingent value rights and Chiesi’s draft transaction agreement. If Chiesi agreed to satisfactory changes, the Amryt Board further authorized Dr. Wiley to grant Chiesi’s request for an exclusivity period to finalize the terms of the transaction because the Amryt Board expected to be prepared to enter into a definitive transaction agreement on the basis of the Chiesi Third Proposal as so revised.
Later on December 23, Dr. Wiley contacted Mr. Chiesi and proposed revisions to the terms of the Chiesi Third Proposal in line with the Amryt Board’s authorization, including an increase by $0.30 per Amryt ADS in cash in the upfront consideration, revisions to the terms of Chiesi’s proposed contingent value rights to extend the time period for achievement of the milestones and revisions to the transaction agreement to be discussed between Dechert and Cooley. Dr. Wiley noted that, if Chiesi was prepared to accept these proposed revisions, Amryt would grant Chiesi the exclusivity period requested. A representative of Cooley contacted a representative of Dechert to discuss revisions to the transaction agreement, including that option holders would receive the full implied value of their options in the proposed transaction, the deletion of the new closing conditions regarding certain tax matters and Chiesi bearing a portion of the fees otherwise required to be paid by holders of Amryt ADS upon surrender under the deposit agreement. Representatives of Moelis and Centerview discussed these changes that evening as well. Later that evening, each of Centerview and Dechert confirmed to Moelis and Cooley, respectively, that Chiesi would update its proposal to acquire Amryt in a transaction in which each holder of Amryt ADSs would receive up to $17.00 in cash per Amryt ADS, consisting of an upfront payment of $14.50 in cash plus a contingent value right that would entitle the holder to payments of up to $2.50 per contingent value right based on the achievement of various FDA approval milestones relating to Filsuvez by December 31, 2024 (subject to an additional one month extension in certain circumstances) (the “Chiesi Fourth Proposal”), representing a 103% (138% using the Chiesi-attributed value of the contingent value rights) premium to the last closing price of $7.15 per Amryt ADS. Dechert also indicated to Cooley that Chiesi would agree to Amryt’s proposed revisions to the transaction agreement. During these conversations, Chiesi and its advisors indicated that the Chiesi Fourth Proposal was Chiesi’s best and final offer and that it was not prepared to improve the terms further.
Later on December 23, following oral confirmation of the Chiesi’s delivery of the Chiesi Fourth Proposal, representatives of Cooley sent Dechert a form exclusivity agreement providing for an exclusive negotiation period until the close of business of January 8, 2023 unless Chiesi were to reduce the proposed price or negatively impact the proposed terms of the proposed transaction. The parties agreed to target signing the transaction agreement by that date, the day prior to the 41st Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference.
On December 24, 2022, Amryt and Chiesi executed the exclusivity agreement.
During the week of December 26, 2022, representatives of each of Amryt and Chiesi and their respective advisors engaged in discussions regarding finalizing the definitive documentation providing for the transaction and completing any remaining due diligence. During this week, representatives of Cooley sent to Dechert draft disclosure schedules for the transaction and drafts of the voting agreement and other ancillary agreements. Over the course of the next several days and culminating in the execution of the transaction agreement on January 8, 2023, the parties exchanged several revised drafts of the disclosure schedules and ancillary agreements and held a number of discussions relating thereto.
During the week of January 2, 2023, representatives of each of Amryt and Chiesi their respective advisors engaged in discussions regarding finalizing the definitive agreements providing for the transaction and completing any remaining due diligence. In particular, on January 2, 2023, representatives from Cooley and Dechert had a call to discuss the process to finalizing the definitive agreements. Later that day, representatives of Cooley distributed to Dechert a revised version of the transaction agreement and a draft contingent value rights agreement, each reflecting the terms of the Chiesi Fourth Proposal. In addition, on the same day, representatives of Moelis shared with Centerview a draft of the joint press release to announce the transaction. Over the course of the next several days and culminating in the execution of the transaction agreement on January 8, the parties exchanged several revised drafts of these agreements and proposed communications and held a number of discussions relating thereto. From

TABLE OF CONTENTS

December 31, 2022 to January 5, 2023, Moelis received several unsolicited communications from Party A senior management, Party A’s financial advisor and Party C’s financial advisor inquiring about whether there was a continuing ability to engage regarding a proposed transaction with Amryt. Moelis did not engage on these communications pursuant to the exclusivity agreement, however, no other offers were made or terms changed from the proposals made prior to December 23.
On January 3 and January 5, 2023, Mr. Nealon and Mr. Chiesi had several discussions to discuss the interim business operations of Amryt during the pendency of the transaction and resolve other open issues regarding the transaction agreement.
On January 5, 2023, the Amryt Board held a meeting by teleconference, with attendance from Mr. Nealon and representatives of Moelis, Cooley and Gibson Dunn. The Amryt Board discussed with its advisors updates regarding the proposed transaction in advance of any final decision to be reached regarding the proposed transaction, which was schedule for consideration later in the week. The representatives of Moelis reviewed preliminary financial analyses of Amryt and the proposed transaction. Representatives of Cooley reviewed for the Amryt Board the fiduciary duties of the directors in connection with the consideration of the possible transaction and the key terms and conditions of the draft transaction agreement with Chiesi, focusing on (1) the structure of the proposed transaction, (2) the economic terms of the proposed transaction (including the key terms of the contingent value rights agreement), (3) the conditions to closing, (4) provisions regarding the operations of the company during the pendency of the transaction, (5) the efforts that the parties are required to use to satisfy the conditions to closing the transaction, including Chiesi’s commitments to obtain required regulatory approvals, (6) the definition of material adverse effect and the exceptions thereto, (7) the covenants prohibiting the solicitation of alternative transactions and right of the Amryt Board to consider unsolicited transaction proposals and to change its recommendation regarding the transaction and/or terminate the agreement to accept a superior proposal in certain circumstances, (8) the termination fees payable by Amryt in certain circumstances and expense reimbursement obligations of each party and (9) other key terms of the transaction agreements. The representatives of Cooley also reviewed with the Amryt Board matters that had been considered and would be considered in connection with any final decision on whether to engage in a transaction, including the principal reasons for and risks of the proposed transaction, Amryt’s standalone strategy and opportunities, other transactions that may be available to Amryt, the Amryt Board’s ability to entertain unsolicited proposals following the announcement of the transaction, risks and uncertainties relating to the completion of the transaction and the proposed timeline for completing the transaction. The Amryt Board discussed these matters and expressed its preliminary support for the transaction and that it expected to approve the execution of the transaction agreement at the meeting of the Amryt Board to be held on January 8 once the transaction agreements were finalized, and subject to the receipt of a fairness opinion from Moelis. Thereafter, the Amryt Board met in executive session to discuss matters related to the proposed transaction.
On January 6 and 7, 2023, Amryt senior management (including Mr. Nealon) and representatives of Cooley held videoconferences with Chiesi senior management (including Mr. Chiesi) and representatives of Dechert to finalize all unresolved items in the transaction. Dr. Wiley, Mr. Nealon and Mr. Chiesi also separately discussed these items during this period. Following these discussions and the exchange of several drafts of the transaction agreements, Amryt, Chiesi and their respective advisors finalized the transaction agreements.
On January 8, 2023, the Amryt Board held a meeting by teleconference, with attendance from Mr. Nealon and other members of Amryt senior management and representatives of Moelis, Cooley and Gibson Dunn. The Amryt Board reviewed the terms of the proposed transaction with Chiesi. The representatives of Moelis and Cooley provided an update on the negotiations of the definitive agreements providing for the transaction since the Amryt Board meeting on January 5. The representatives of Moelis presented its financial analyses of the proposed transaction and Moelis delivered an oral opinion, which was confirmed by delivery of a written opinion, dated January 8, 2023, addressed to the Amryt Board to the effect that, as of the date of the opinion and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken as set forth in the opinion, the Per Share Consideration to be received by holders of the Amryt ordinary shares (other than excluded shares as contemplated by the scheme of arrangement) in the transaction was fair from a financial point of view to such holders. See the section entitled “The Transaction—Opinion of Financial Advisor of Amryt” for further information on the Moelis opinion and analyses. Representatives of Cooley reminded the Amryt Board about the fiduciary duties of the directors in connection with the consideration of the possible transaction, reviewed the terms and conditions of the transaction agreement with Chiesi, focusing in particular on the changes to the transaction agreement since the Amryt Board meeting on January 5. The representatives of Cooley also reviewed with the Amryt Board matters that had been

TABLE OF CONTENTS

considered by the Amryt Board in connection with the evaluation of the transaction, including the matters reviewed with the Amryt Board on January 5. The Amryt Board discussed the proposed communications plan regarding the transaction. Following discussion and review of the various presentations made, matters considered and discussion of the benefits and risks of the proposed transaction, the Amryt Board unanimously determined that the transaction agreement is fair to and in the best interests of Amryt for the benefit of the Amryt shareholders as a whole, approved the transaction agreement and the scheme arrangement and recommended to the Amryt shareholders the approval of the scheme of arrangement at the scheme meeting and the passing of the special resolution at the Amryt general meeting. See the section entitled “The Transaction—Recommendation of the Amryt Board; Amryt’s Reasons for the Scheme” for further information on the Amryt Board recommendation and reasons for the recommendation.
After the Amryt Board meeting, Amryt and Chiesi executed the transaction agreement and Chiesi and the shareholders subject to the voting agreements executed the voting agreements.
On the evening of January 8, 2023, Amryt and Chiesi issued a joint press release announcing the transaction.
Recommendation of the Amryt Board; Amryt’s Reasons for the Scheme
At a meeting held on January 8, 2023, the Amryt Board unanimously determined (1) that the entry by Amryt into the Transaction Agreement, and the implementation of the Transaction and the Scheme of Arrangement, is fair to and in the best interests of Amryt for the benefit of Amryt’s shareholders as a whole, (2) that the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Transaction and the Scheme of Arrangement is approved, (3) to unanimously recommend to Amryt shareholders the approval of the Scheme Proposal at the Court Meeting and the passing of the Scheme Implementation Proposal at the General Meeting and (4) to direct that the Scheme of Arrangement be submitted for approval by Amryt’s shareholders at the Court Meeting.
In evaluating the Transaction Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Transaction, and recommending that the Amryt shareholders approve the Scheme Proposal at the Court Meeting and vote in favor of the Scheme Implementation Proposal at the General Meeting, the Amryt Board consulted with Amryt’s management team, financial advisor and legal counsel and considered a number of factors, including the following factors:
Transaction Consideration; Historical Trading Prices. With assistance from Moelis, the Amryt Board reviewed the historical market prices, volatility and trading information with respect to the Amryt ADSs, including the fact that the upfront Transaction Consideration of $14.50 in cash per Amryt ADS represented a premium of 107% (or 143% including the CVR consideration) to the closing price per Amryt ADS on January 6, 2023 (the last trading day prior to the date of the execution of the Transaction Agreement).
Cash Consideration; Certainty of Value. The Amryt Board considered that the consideration for the Transaction is predominantly cash, which provides certainty of value, immediate value and liquidity to Amryt shareholders while effectively eliminating the long-term business and execution risk of continuing to operate Amryt on a standalone basis and the uncertainty of future trading prices of the Amryt ADSs, and that, absent the Transaction, the trading price of the Amryt ADSs may not reach and sustain the level implied by the cash consideration in the near term, or at all.
Opportunity to Realize Additional Value. The Amryt Board considered the fact that, in addition to the cash consideration, holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares will receive the Per Share CVR Consideration, which provides Amryt’s shareholders an opportunity to realize additional value, to the extent that the Milestones are achieved, through an additional cash payment of up to $2.50 in the aggregate per Amryt ADS. The Amryt Board considered the estimated probability of success and timing for achieving the Milestones, including management’s forecasts with respect to the Milestones.
Business, Financial Condition and Prospects of Amryt. The Amryt Board considered its knowledge of and familiarity with Amryt’s business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as its strategic plan and prospects if it were to remain a standalone company, and other alternatives available to Amryt. The Amryt Board considered the risks and uncertainties associated with achieving and executing upon Amryt’s strategic plan. The Amryt Board considered that the holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares (including Amryt Ordinary Shares represented by Amryt ADSs) would continue to be subject to the risks and uncertainties of Amryt’s strategic plan and prospects unless the Amryt Ordinary Shares (including Amryt Ordinary Shares represented by Amryt ADSs) were acquired for cash. These risks and uncertainties included risks and uncertainties relating to Amryt’s dependence on four products, lomitapide, Mycapassa,

metreleptin, and Filsuvez (in the European Union) to generate revenue; obtaining marketing approvals for Filsuvez in the U.S. and Amryt’s other product candidates in other jurisdictions and indications; maintaining the scope and extent of Amryt’s intellectual property and regulatory protections for Amryt’s products and product candidates; prospects for Amryt’s current pipeline, including the risks inherent in the research, development, regulatory review and potential future commercialization of Amryt’s product candidates and the risks related to market acceptance of these product candidates, if approved; the uncertainty associated with market demand, pricing, governmental reimbursement and other factors beyond the control of Amryt with respect to Amryt’s products and product candidates in Amryt’s pipeline; Amryt’s ability to effectively manage the rapid growth and increasing complexity of its organization and integration of past acquisitions; the risk of competition in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry generally; other factors potentially impacting the revenues and profitability of biotechnology and pharmaceutical products and companies generally; and the other risks and uncertainties discussed in Amryt’s filings with the SEC.
Available Alternatives; Results of Process Conducted; Best Alternative for Maximizing Shareholder Value. The Amryt Board considered possible alternatives to a sale of Amryt and whether any of them were more attractive to Amryt shareholders than the Transaction. Those matters considered included:
Results of Process Conducted. The Amryt Board considered the results of the process that it had conducted, with the assistance of the Amryt management team and advisors, to evaluate opportunities for a potential sale of Amryt during a period of more than seven months, as further described in the section entitled “Background of the Scheme”. The Amryt Board noted that Amryt and its financial advisor had contacted or held formal or informal discussions with at least 27 potential counterparties, including strategic counterparties and financial sponsors, who were believed to be the most likely parties to pursue a potential acquisition of Amryt, had signed confidentiality agreements with and made confidential due diligence information available to seven counterparties, and had received offers from four potential counterparties.
Negotiations with Chiesi; “Best and Final” Offer. The Amryt Board considered that it had held arm’s-length negotiations with Chiesi and had been able to obtain three additional price increases since Chiesi had made its initial proposal to acquire Amryt, and that Chiesi had indicated that its last proposal was its “best and final” offer.
Risk of Loss of Opportunity. The Amryt Board also considered the risk that prolonging the process for evaluating alternatives available to Amryt in an effort to obtain additional proposals at higher prices prior to executing a definitive transaction agreement could have resulted in Chiesi terminating discussions and was unlikely to yield a proposal that would materially exceed Chiesi’s proposal.
Ability of the Amryt Board to Respond to Alternative Acquisition Proposals. The Amryt Board also considered the ability of other potential acquirors to make, and the likelihood that other potential acquirors would make, unsolicited proposals to acquire Amryt after the execution of the Transaction Agreement for a higher price than the Transaction Consideration and the Amryt Board’s ability to hear and respond to unsolicited alternative proposals.
Highest Price Per Amryt ADS Reasonably Attainable. Based on the results of the process conducted and Amryt’s historical operating and financial performance and future prospects, the Amryt Board believed that the Transaction Consideration represented the highest price per ADS of Amryt ADSs that was reasonably attainable and provided superior risk-adjusted value relative to Amryt’s standalone prospects.
Opinion of Financial Advisor of Amryt. The Amryt Board considered the financial analyses of Moelis, as reviewed and discussed with the Amryt Board, as well as the opinion of Moelis to the effect that, as of January 8, 2023, and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken as set forth in Moelis’ written opinion, the Per Share Consideration to be received by the holders of the Amryt Ordinary Shares (other than the Excluded Shares) in the Transaction was fair from a financial point of view to such holders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Chiesi’s Alignment with Amryt’s Mission and Priorities. The Amryt Board considered Chiesi’s alignment with Amryt’s mission and priorities, including Chiesi’s ability to accelerate Amryt’s ability to reach more patients in need globally.
Terms of the Transaction Agreement. The Amryt Board reviewed and considered the terms and conditions of the Transaction Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Transaction, which included the respective representations, warranties, covenants and termination rights of the parties and the conditions to each party’s obligations to consummate the Transaction. Those matters considered included:
Nature of the Negotiations; Terms of the Transaction Agreement as a Whole. The Amryt Board considered the fact that the Transaction Agreement was negotiated in the context of a competitive process, at arm’s length between Amryt and Chiesi, with the assistance of their respective legal advisors.
Conditions to the Consummation of the Transaction; Likelihood of Closing. The Amryt Board considered the reasonable likelihood of the consummation of the Transaction in light of:
the limited conditions to closing in the Transaction Agreement, including that no vote of Chiesi’s shareholders is required to consummate the Transaction;
the scope of the required regulatory approvals (including antitrust and foreign investment approvals) and the Amryt Board’s assessment, in consultation with its legal counsel, of the likelihood that such required approvals would be received, and Chiesi’s required level of efforts to obtain the regulatory approvals necessary to consummate the Transaction;
the scope of what may constitute a Material Adverse Effect under the Transaction Agreement and the exceptions thereto that were negotiated by Amryt; and
that Amryt is entitled to specified enforcement of Chiesi’s obligations under the Transaction Agreement.
Absence of Any Financing Condition; Sufficiency of Funds. The Amryt Board considered that Chiesi’s obligations pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, including with respect to the consummation of the Transaction, are not subject to any financing condition and that Chiesi would make representations and warranties in the Transaction Agreement to have sufficient funds available at closing and at the time of any payment due under the CVR Agreement, as applicable, to pay the aggregate consideration and all other cash amounts payable by Chiesi contemplated by the Transaction Agreement and the CVR Agreement.
Ability to Respond to Certain Unsolicited Acquisition Proposals. The Amryt Board considered the provisions in the Transaction Agreement that provide for the ability of the Amryt Board under certain limited circumstances to engage in discussions or negotiations with or furnish non-public information relating to Amryt or any of its subsidiaries to any person that has made an unsolicited bona fide written acquisition proposal prior to the receipt of the required Amryt shareholder approvals.
Ability to Change Amryt Board Recommendation. The Amryt Board considered the provisions in the Transaction Agreement that provide for the ability of the Amryt Board under certain limited circumstances to withdraw, qualify, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Chiesi, or resolve or publicly propose to withdraw, qualify, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Chiesi, the recommendation of the Amryt Board in favor of the approval of the Scheme Proposal at the Court Meeting and the Scheme Implementation Proposal at the General Meeting, or take other related actions, if certain conditions are satisfied.
Ability to Terminate Transaction Agreement to Accept a Superior Proposal. The Amryt Board considered the provisions in the Transaction Agreement that provide for the ability of the Amryt Board to terminate the Transaction Agreement upon a change of its recommendation in the manner described in the immediately preceding bullet point in order to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a superior proposal, if, substantially concurrently with such termination, Amryt pays to Chiesi the $14 million termination fee.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Termination Fee. The Amryt Board considered its assessment, in consultation with its legal counsel, that the $14 million termination fee which could become payable pursuant to the Transaction Agreement was comparable to termination fees in comparable transactions, was reasonable, and that the termination fee and the other provisions of the Transaction Agreement regarding alternative proposals would not be likely to deter a third party from making a competing alternative acquisition proposal. The Amryt Board further considered the limited circumstances in which the termination fee would become payable and that the likelihood that, in those circumstances, Amryt would be pursuing a transaction more favorable to its shareholders than the Transaction.
Expense Reimbursement. The Amryt Board considered the fact that in certain circumstances, if the Transaction Agreement is terminated by Amryt due to a breach of a representation or warranty or failure to perform a covenant on the part of Chiesi, Chiesi would be required to reimburse Amryt for the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Amryt in connection with the Transaction Agreement and the Transaction up to a maximum amount of $10 million and that such reimbursement would not preclude Amryt from seeking further damages or pursuing any other remedy available to it under the Transaction Agreement.
Voting Agreements. The Amryt Board considered that Amryt’s two largest shareholders, collectively holding approximately 23.8% of Amryt’s voting power, were willing to enter into Voting Agreements, which evidenced that Amryt’s largest shareholders supported the Transaction and increased the likelihood of shareholder approval of the Proposals at the Shareholder Meetings.
CVR Agreement. The Amryt Board considered the terms and conditions of the CVR Agreement, including the requirement that Chiesi use diligent efforts to achieve the Milestones.
The Amryt Board also considered a number of uncertainties and risks in their deliberations concerning the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, including the Transaction and Scheme of Arrangement, including the following:
Cash Consideration; Loss of Future Value Creation. The Amryt Board considered the fact that, subsequent to consummation of the Transaction, Amryt will no longer exist as an independent public company and that the nature of the transaction as a cash transaction would prevent Amryt shareholders from being able to participate in any value creation that Amryt could generate going forward or synergies from the combination with Chiesi.
Upside to Strategic Plan. The Amryt Board considered that Amryt’s standalone strategic plan could have upside that would generate value in excess of the Transaction Consideration.
CVRs. The Amryt Board considered the risk that the Milestones under the CVRs may not be achieved and that the CVRs may otherwise never deliver any value to Amryt’s shareholders. The Amryt Board also considered the potential difficulty in enforcement of Chiesi’s obligations under the CVR Agreement by Amryt’s shareholders after closing.
Failure to Close; Closing Conditions. The Amryt Board considered the conditions to Chiesi’s obligation to consummate the Transaction, including receipt of required Amryt shareholder approvals and other regulatory approvals, the absence of a material adverse effect, compliance by Amryt with covenants in the Transaction Agreement in all material respects and the absence of inaccuracies in its representations and warranties in the Transaction Agreement beyond negotiated standards of materiality, and the possibility that such conditions may not be satisfied, including as a result of events outside of Amryt’s control. The Amryt Board considered the fact that, if the Transaction is not consummated, Amryt’s directors, officers and other employees will have expended extensive time and effort and will have experienced significant distractions from their work during the pendency of the transaction, and Amryt will have incurred significant transaction costs, attempting to consummate the Transaction. The Amryt Board also considered the fact that, if the Transaction is not consummated or if the consummation of the Transaction is delayed, Amryt’s continuing business could potentially have been harmed by the pendency of the Transaction, the market’s perception of Amryt could result in a loss of employees and the trading price of Amryt ADSs could be adversely affected. The Amryt Board considered that, in that event, it would be unlikely that any of the other counterparties who indicated an interest in acquiring Amryt would continue to be willing to acquire Amryt on terms as favorable as the Transaction, or at all.
63

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Court Approval. The Amryt Board considered the risk that the Court sanction process may be delayed and the Court approval of the Transaction may not be obtained.
Termination Fee; Limitation of Soliciting Alternative Proposals. The Amryt Board considered the restrictions that the Transaction Agreement imposes on soliciting alternative proposals or engaging in discussions with respect to unsolicited alternative proposals. The Amryt Board also considered that that Amryt would be obligated to pay a termination fee of $14 million under certain circumstances, and the potential effect of such termination fee in deterring other potential acquirors from proposing alternative transactions.
Reimbursement Expenses. The Amryt Board considered the fact that in certain circumstances, if the Transaction Agreement is terminated by Chiesi due to a breach of a representation or warranty or failure to perform a covenant on the part of Amryt, Amryt would be required to reimburse Chiesi for the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Chiesi in connection with the Transaction Agreement and the Transaction up to a maximum amount of $10 million.
Pre-Closing Covenants. The Amryt Board considered that, under the terms of the Transaction Agreement, Amryt agreed to conduct its business in the ordinary course in all material respects and use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve intact its business organization and business relationships and, subject to specified exceptions, that Amryt will not take a number of actions related to the conduct of its business without the prior consent of Chiesi. The Amryt Board further considered that these terms of the Transaction Agreement may limit the ability of Amryt to pursue certain business opportunities that it may otherwise pursue.
Public Announcement of the Transaction. The Amryt Board considered the effect of a public announcement of the execution of the Transaction Agreement and the Transaction, including any potential effects on Amryt’s operations, trading price, employees, customers, distributors, suppliers and other business relationships and Amryt’s ability to attract and retain key management and personnel. The Amryt Board also considered the effect of these matters on Chiesi and the risks that any adverse reaction to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement could adversely affect Chiesi’s willingness to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement.
Diversion of Management Attention. The Amryt Board considered the fact that matters relating to the Transaction, including integration planning, may require substantial commitments of time and resources by Amryt’s management and employees and may otherwise divert the attention of management and employees, which may affect Amryt’s business operations.
Tax Treatment. The Amryt Board considered the fact that the transaction consideration will generally be taxable to Amryt’s shareholders in the United States, the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Transaction Litigation. The Amryt Board considered the fact that, if the Transaction is completed, the Scheme of Arrangement will bind all Amryt shareholders, including those who did not vote to approve the Scheme Proposal at the Court Meeting. The Amryt Board also considered the risk of litigation in connection with the Transaction.
In addition, in considering the recommendation of the Amryt Board that the Amryt shareholders approve the Scheme Proposal at the Court Meeting and vote in favor of the Scheme Implementation Proposal at the General Meeting, you should be aware that Amryt’s directors and executive officers may have interests in the Transaction that are different from, or in addition to, yours. The Amryt Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Transaction Agreement and in recommending that the Amryt shareholders approve the Scheme Proposal at the Court Meeting and vote in favor of the Scheme Implementation Proposal at the General Meeting. For more information on these interests, see the section entitled “Interests of Amryt’s Non-Employee Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction” of the accompanying scheme circular.
The Amryt Board determined that, overall, the potential benefits of the Transaction to the Amryt shareholders outweighed the uncertainties and risks of the Transaction.
The foregoing discussion of information and factors considered by the Amryt Board is not intended to be exhaustive but includes the material factors considered by the Amryt Board, which are not necessarily presented in order of relative importance. In light of the complexity and variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of
64

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the Transaction Agreement and the Transaction, the Amryt Board did not find it practicable to, and did not, rank, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors considered in reaching its determinations and recommendations. Rather, the Amryt Board based its recommendation on the totality of the information presented. Moreover, each member of the Amryt Board applied his or her own personal business judgment to the process and may have given different weight to different factors.
The foregoing description of Amryt’s consideration of the factors supporting the Transaction is forward-looking in nature. This information should be read in light of the factors discussed in the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this scheme circular.
ACCORDINGLY, THE AMRYT BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT AMRYT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE SCHEME PROPOSAL AND “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE SCHEME IMPLEMENTATION PROPOSAL.
Opinion of Financial Advisor of Amryt
At the meeting of the Amryt Board on January 8, 2023 to evaluate and consider approval of the Transaction Agreement and the Transaction, Moelis delivered an oral opinion, which was confirmed by delivery of a written opinion, dated January 8, 2023, addressed to the Amryt Board (solely in its capacity as such) to the effect that, as of the date of the opinion and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken as set forth in the opinion, the Per Share Consideration to be received by holders of the Amryt Ordinary Shares (other than the Excluded Shares) in the Transaction was fair from a financial point of view to such holders.
The full text of Moelis’ written opinion dated January 8, 2023, which sets forth the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached as Annex B to this scheme circular and is incorporated herein by reference. Moelis’ opinion was provided for the use of the Amryt Board (solely in its capacity as such) in its evaluation of the Per Share Consideration. Moelis’ opinion was limited solely to the fairness from a financial point of view of the Per Share Consideration to be received by the holders of the Amryt Ordinary Shares (other than the Excluded Shares) in the Transaction and does not address Amryt’s underlying business decision to effect the Transaction or the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any alternative business strategies or transactions that might be available to Amryt. Moelis’ opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any holder of securities should vote or act with respect to the Transaction or any other matter.
In arriving at its opinion, Moelis, among other things:
reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information relating to Amryt;
reviewed certain internal information relating to the business, earnings, cash flow, assets, liabilities and prospects of Amryt furnished to Moelis by Amryt, including financial forecasts provided to and discussed with Moelis by the management of Amryt (including probability of success assumptions for clinical and pre-approval programs and including assumptions regarding the probability and timing of achievement of each Milestone 1 and Milestone 2) under management’s long-range plan (as defined in the section entitled “Certain Amryt Forecasts” in this scheme circular as the “2022 LRP”), an additional sensitivity scenario to the 2022 LRP based on an illustrative competition for metreleptin, and under an upside strategic plan (as defined in the section entitled “Certain Amryt Forecasts” in this scheme circular as the “Strategic Plan”);
reviewed information regarding the capitalization of Amryt furnished to Moelis by Amryt;
reviewed estimates prepared and provided to Moelis by the management of Amryt as to Amryt’s projected utilization on a standalone basis of net operating losses to achieve future tax savings;
conducted discussions with members of the senior management and representatives of Amryt concerning the information described above as well as the business and prospects of Amryt generally;
reviewed the reported prices and trading activity for the Amryt ADSs;
considered the results of efforts by or on behalf of Amryt, including by Moelis at Amryt’s direction, to solicit indications of interest from third parties with respect to a possible acquisition of all or a portion of Amryt;
65

TABLE OF CONTENTS

reviewed publicly available financial and stock market data of certain other companies in lines of business that Moelis deemed relevant;
reviewed the financial terms of certain other transactions that Moelis deemed relevant;
reviewed a draft, dated January 7, 2023, of the Transaction Agreement (including the forms of Scheme of Arrangement and the CVR Agreement attached thereto);
participated in certain discussions and negotiations among representatives of Amryt and Chiesi and their advisors; and
conducted such other financial studies and analyses and took into account such other information as Moelis deemed appropriate.
In connection with its analysis and opinion, Moelis, at the direction of the Amryt Board, relied on the information supplied to, discussed with or reviewed by Moelis for purposes of its opinion being complete and accurate in all material respects. Moelis did not independently verify any such information (or assume any responsibility for the independent verification of any of such information). With the consent of the Amryt Board, Moelis also relied on the representation of Amryt’s management that (i) they were not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make any such information inaccurate or misleading and (ii) each Amryt ADS represents a beneficial ownership interest in five Amryt Ordinary Shares. With the consent of the Amryt Board, Moelis relied upon, without independent verification, the assessment of Amryt and its legal, tax, regulatory and accounting advisors with respect to legal, tax, regulatory and accounting matters. With respect to the financial forecasts referred to above, at the direction of the Amryt Board, Moelis utilized the 2022 LRP for purposes of its opinion, and Moelis assumed, at the direction of the Amryt Board, that the 2022 LRP was reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Amryt as to the future performance of Amryt (including Amryt management’s forecasts as to the probability and estimated timing of achievement of each Milestone). Moelis expressed no views as to the reasonableness of the 2022 LRP or any other financial forecasts or the assumptions on which they were based. In addition, Moelis did not make any independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (contingent, derivative, off-balance-sheet, or otherwise) of Amryt, nor was Moelis furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal.
Moelis’ opinion did not address Amryt’s underlying business decision to effect the Transaction or the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any alternative business strategies or transactions that might be available to Amryt and did not address any legal, regulatory, tax or accounting matters. Moelis was not asked to, and did not, offer any opinion as to any terms of the Transaction Agreement (including the Scheme of Arrangement or CVR Agreement) or any aspect or implication of the Transaction (including the form or terms of the Milestone 1 CVR and/or the Milestone 2 CVR or the restrictions on transferability thereof), except for the fairness of the Per Share Consideration from a financial point of view to the holders of the Amryt Ordinary Shares (other than Excluded Shares). Moelis did not express any opinion as to fair value, viability or the solvency of Amryt following the closing of the Transaction. Moelis did not consider, and Moelis did not express any opinion with respect to, any value that may be attributable to any control rights or governance rights of any holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADS (or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADS), or associated with any substantial holding thereof, including those holders that are parties to the Voting Agreements entered into in connection with the Transaction.
In rendering its opinion, Moelis assumed, with the consent of the Amryt Board, that the final executed form of the Transaction Agreement, the Scheme of Arrangement and the CVR Agreement would not differ in any material respect from the drafts that Moelis reviewed, that the Transaction would be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement without any waiver or modification that could be material to Moelis’ analysis, that the representations and warranties of each party set forth in the Transaction Agreement were accurate and correct, and that the parties to the Transaction Agreement, the Scheme of Arrangement and the CVR Agreement would comply with all the material terms of such agreements. Moelis assumed, with the consent of the Amryt Board, that all court, governmental, regulatory or other consents or approvals necessary for the completion of the Transaction would be obtained, except to the extent that could not be material to its analysis. In addition, at the direction of the Amryt Board, for purposes of Moelis’ analyses and opinion, Moelis utilized a range of probabilities for the achievement of
66

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the Milestones, which were informed by the management of Amryt, and assumed the timing of such Milestones would be consistent with the 2022 LRP. Further, Moelis assumed, with the consent of the Amryt Board, that if the Milestones are achieved, the payments in respect of the Milestone 1 CVR and the Milestone 2 CVR, as applicable, would be made in accordance with the CVR Agreement.
Moelis’ opinion was necessarily based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to Moelis as of, the date of the opinion and Moelis assumed no responsibility to update its opinion for developments after that date.
Moelis’ opinion did not address the fairness of the Transaction or any aspect or implication thereof to, or any other consideration of or relating to, the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of Amryt, other than the fairness of the Per Share Consideration from a financial point of view to the holders of the Amryt Ordinary Shares (other than the Excluded Shares). In addition, Moelis did not express any opinion as to the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to be received by any officers, directors or employees of any parties to the Transaction, or any class of such persons, relative to the Per Share Consideration or otherwise. Moelis’ opinion was approved by a Moelis fairness opinion committee.
Summary of Financial Analyses
The following is a summary of the material financial analyses presented by Moelis to the Amryt Board at their meeting held on January 8, 2023, in connection with delivery of its opinion. This summary describes the material analysis underlying Moelis’ opinion but does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by Moelis in connection with its opinion.
Some of the summaries of financial analyses below include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand Moelis’ analyses, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the analyses. Considering the data described below without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of Moelis’ analyses.
For purposes of its financial analyses, Moelis relied on the representation of Amryt’s management that each Amryt ADS represented a beneficial ownership interest in five Amryt Ordinary Shares. In addition, for purposes of its financial analyses, Moelis calculated the implied value of the Per ADS Consideration to be a range of $14.50 to $16.78 per Amryt ADS (the “Per ADS Consideration Range”) by adding (a) the Per ADS Cash Consideration of $14.50 per Amryt ADS, and (b) the net present value, as of December 31, 2022, of the Per ADS CVR Consideration, which was calculated to be $0 to $2.28 per Amryt ADS utilizing the following assumptions: (i) an illustrative probability of success (“POS”) range of 0% to 100% for the Milestones relating to the CVRs informed by the views of Amryt’s management, (ii) a discount rate range of 9.60% to 13.60% for the milestone payments relating to the CVRs, which discount rate range was based on the estimated range of Amryt’s weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”), as described in further detail below under “—Discounted Cash Flow Analysis 2022 LRP”, and (iii) the timing of the Milestones based on the 2022 LRP.
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis –2022 LRP
Utilizing the 2022 LRP, Moelis performed a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis of Amryt to calculate the present value of estimated future unlevered after-tax free cash flows projected by management of Amryt to be generated by Amryt for the calendar years ending December 31, 2023 through December 31, 2031 and the present value of the estimated terminal value of Amryt as of December 31, 2022. For purposes of the DCF analysis, Moelis calculated unlevered cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA less (a) (i) taxes, (ii) share-based compensation adjustment, (iii) certain milestone payments, (iv) changes in net working capital and (v) capital expenditures, plus (b) utilization of net operating losses (“NOLs”).
Moelis utilized a range of discount rates of 9.60% to 13.60% based on an estimated range of the WACC for Amryt. The WACC range was derived using the Capital Asset Pricing Model and a size premium. Moelis used the foregoing range of discount rates to calculate estimated present values as of December 31, 2022 of (a) projected unlevered after-tax free cash flows of Amryt for the calendar years ending December 31, 2023 through December 31, 2031 (in each case, discounted using a mid-year discounting convention) and (b) estimated terminal values derived using the perpetuity growth method and assuming a range of perpetuity growth rates of negative 15.0% to negative 5.0%, reflecting Amryt management’s guidance regarding product and indication loss of exclusivity across regions, the
67

continuation of pipeline growth outlook and the impact from potential competition in existing indications. At the direction of Amryt’s management, Moelis assumed a standalone 19% tax rate, before the impact of the utilization of Irish NOLs.
The DCF analysis based on the 2022 LRP yielded an implied range of prices per Amryt ADS of $13.53 to $28.98, which Moelis compared to the Per ADS Consideration Range of $14.50 to $16.78.
Moelis also noted that its DCF analysis of the 2022 LRP yielded the following price ranges per Amryt ADS based on the Filsuvez POS sensitivity range of 0% to 100% included in the 2022 LRP: (a) $13.53 to $23.81 in the case of the Filsuvez U.S. Non-approval Scenario; and (b) $16.76 to $28.98 in the case of the Filsuvez U.S. Success Scenario.
Selected Publicly Traded Companies Analysis
Moelis reviewed financial and stock market information of the selected publicly traded companies noted below (the “Selected Companies”), which Moelis determined, based on in its professional judgment and experience, to be generally relevant for purposes of this analysis. In determining the publicly traded companies to use in this analysis, Moelis referenced publicly traded companies of up to approximately $2 billion of trading enterprise value with commercial stage products that include orphan and specialty market assets with similar technologies to Amryt’s products.
The Selected Companies used in this analysis are as follows:
Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Catalyst”)
Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Supernus”)
Travere Therapeutics, Inc. (“Travere”)
Pharming Group N.V. (“Pharming”)
Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Intercept”)
Xeris Biopharma Holdings, Inc. (“Xeris”)
In performing its analysis, Moelis reviewed and analyzed, among other things, closing price as of January 6, 2023, market capitalization, enterprise value (“EV”), and enterprise value as a multiple of estimated net revenue for calendar year 2023 (“2023E Net Revenue”) and estimated net revenue for calendar year 2024 (“2024E Net Revenue”). Financial data for the Selected Companies were based on publicly available median consensus research estimates and public filings as of January 6, 2023. In the case of estimated net revenue for Amryt, Moelis reviewed both the median consensus research analyst estimates and the 2022 LRP (under both the Filsuvez U.S. Non-approval Scenario and the Filsuvez U.S. Success Scenario). The data used in this analysis is summarized in the following table:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

For purposes of selecting its reference ranges for this analysis, Moelis noted that Supernus, Pharming and Xeris are the most relevant companies to Amryt as, similar to Amryt, they have moderate pipeline depth within their respective businesses and upcoming loss of exclusivity in the late 2020s. Moelis was of the view that Amryt should be valued, on average, closer in line with Supernus and Pharming, and at a premium to Xeris, as Xeris was not yet profitable with its lead value-driving orphan product still in early launch phase and another product potentially facing near-term competition. Moelis further noted that Travere, Catalyst and Intercept were less relevant to Amryt for several business-related reasons and was of the view that Amryt should be valued at a discount to each of Travere and Catalyst and at a premium to Intercept, as Intercept was less diversified and with high leverage.
In light of the foregoing review and based on its professional judgment and experience, Moelis selected reference ranges of (i) 2.00x to 3.50x for 2023E Net Revenue and (ii) 1.50x to 3.00x for 2024E Net Revenue. Moelis applied these ranges to the 2023E and 2024E Net Revenue of Amryt included in the 2022 LRP (which included the POS range implied by the Filsuvez U.S. Non-approval Scenario and Filsuvez U.S. Success Scenario).
The Selected Publicly Traded Companies analysis yielded an implied range of prices per Amryt ADS of $7.20 to $13.61 based on Amryt’s 2023E Net Revenue, and $6.37 to $15.76 based on Amryt’s 2024E Net Revenue, which Moelis compared to the Per ADS Consideration Range of $14.50 to $16.78.
Selected Prior Transactions Analysis
Moelis reviewed financial information for the prior transactions listed below (the “Selected Prior Transactions”), which Moelis determined, based on in its professional judgment and experience, to be generally relevant for purposes of this analysis. In determining the prior transactions to use in this analysis, Moelis referenced prior transactions that (i) were announced since 2016, (ii) involved target companies across specialty and orphan market opportunities, (iii) involved target companies that had lead assets with similar technology profiles to Amryt’s portfolio with patent protection, and (iv) involved upfront transaction value of up to approximately $2 billion.
In performing this analysis, Moelis reviewed, among other things, the upfront transaction value, the contingent transaction value and the total transaction value of each Selected Prior Transaction and the upfront transaction value and total transaction value as a multiple of last twelve month (“LTM”) net revenue for each target company. Financial data for the Selected Prior Transactions were based on publicly available information relating to the relevant transaction and LTM net revenue for each target company were calculated based on publicly available financial data at the time of announcement of the relevant Selected Prior Transaction.
The Selected Prior Transactions used by Moelis in its analysis are summarized in the following table:

Implied mean (median) LTM net revenue calculated by dividing mean (median) upfront transaction value by mean (median) upfront transaction value / LTM net revenue multiple.
In reviewing the characteristics of the Selected Prior Transactions for purposes of selecting reference ranges, Moelis noted that the Recordati / EUSA, Supernus / Adamas, Recordati / Signifor&Osilodrosat, Sobi / Synagis and Horizon / Raptor transactions (the “Specified Transactions”) involved targets of relevant size for approved and established growing orphan assets with characteristics similar to those of Amryt in terms of target patient population and required commercial infrastructure. Moelis also noted that certain other Selected Prior Transactions involved targets across specialty and orphan pharma, but that occurred at either earlier or later portfolio or product cycles.
In light of the foregoing review and based on its professional judgment and experience, Moelis selected a reference range of 4.50x to 6.00x for Amryt’s LTM net revenue as September 30, 2022. Moelis noted that its reference range was informed by (i) the median of all Selected Prior Transactions (both specialty and orphan) and (ii) the median and range implied by the Specified Transactions, in each case focusing on the upfront transaction consideration/LTM net revenue multiples.
The Selected Prior Transactions analysis yielded an implied range of prices per Amryt ADS of $13.39 to $17.54, which Moelis compared to the Per ADS Consideration Range of $14.50 to $16.78.
Other Information
Moelis also noted for the Amryt Board certain additional factors that were not considered part of Moelis’ financial analysis with respect to its opinion but were referenced for informational purposes only, including, among other things:
52-Week Low/High Amryt ADS Price Analysis
Moelis reviewed the historical trading performance of the Amryt ADS over a 52-week period ending January 6, 2023, which ranged from a closing trading price low of $6.30 per Amryt ADS on March 7, 2022 to a high of $10.86 per Amryt ADS on January 6, 2022. For reference only, Moelis compared this range with the Per ADS Consideration Range of $14.50 to $16.78.
Low/High Share Amryt ADS Analysis Since CRL
Moelis reviewed the historical trading performance of the Amryt ADS since the receipt on February 28, 2022 of a Complete Response Letter (“CRL”) from the FDA regarding the New Drug Application for Oleogel-S10, which
71

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ranged from a closing trading price low of $6.30 per Amryt ADS on March 7, 2022 to a high of $8.87 per Amryt ADS on April 22, 2022. For reference only, Moelis compared this range with the Per ADS Consideration Range of $14.50 to $16.78.
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis – Strategic Plan
Utilizing the Strategic Plan, Moelis performed a DCF analysis of Amryt using the same methodology described above under the section entitled “Discounted Cash Flow Analysis – 2022 LRP” to calculate the present value of estimated future probability-adjusted unlevered after-tax free cash flows projected by management of Amryt to be generated by Amryt for the calendar years ending December 31, 2023 through December 31, 2031 and the present value of the estimated terminal value of Amryt as of December 31, 2022.
The DCF analyses based on the Strategic Plan yielded an implied range of prices per Amryt ADS of $14.93 to $31.54, which Moelis compared to the Per ADS Consideration Range of $14.50 to $16.78.
Moelis also noted that its DCF analysis of the Strategic Plan yielded the following price ranges per Amryt ADS based on the Filsuvez POS sensitivity range of 0% to 100% included in the Strategic Plan: (a) $14.93 to $26.39, in the case of the Filsuvez U.S. Non-approval Scenario; and (b) $18.13 to $31.54 in the case of Filsuvez U.S. Success Scenario.
Analyst Price Target Analysis
Moelis also reviewed publicly available Wall Street research analysts’ price targets for the Amryt ADS published as of January 6, 2023, which ranged from $18.00 to $38.00 per Amryt ADS with a median of $19.00 per Amryt ADS. For reference only, Moelis compared this range with the Per ADS Consideration Range of $14.50 to $16.78.
Information on a Per Amryt Ordinary Share Basis
Moelis also presented the foregoing information in this “Summary of Financial Analysessection to the Amryt Board on the basis of implied Amryt Ordinary Share price reference ranges, which were derived on the basis that each Amryt ADS represents a beneficial ownership in five Amryt Ordinary Shares, and the Per ADS Consideration is equal to the Per Share Consideration multiplied by five.
Miscellaneous
This summary of the analyses is not a complete description of Moelis’ opinion or the analyses underlying, and factors considered in connection with, Moelis’ opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex analytical process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Selecting portions of the analyses or summary set forth above, without considering the analyses as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying Moelis’ opinion. In arriving at its fairness determination, Moelis considered the results of all of its analyses and did not attribute any particular weight to any factor or analysis. Rather, Moelis made its fairness determination on the basis of its professional judgment and experience after considering the results of all of its analyses.
No company or transaction used in the analyses described above is identical to Amryt or the Transaction. In addition, such analyses do not purport to be appraisals, nor do they necessarily reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold. Analyses based upon forecasts of future results are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. Because the analyses described above (including much of the information used therein) are inherently subject to uncertainty, being based upon numerous factors or events beyond the control of the parties or their respective advisors, neither Moelis nor any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those forecast.
Except as described in this summary, the Amryt Board imposed no other instructions or limitations on Moelis with respect to the investigations made or procedures followed by Moelis in rendering its opinion. The Per Share Consideration was determined through arms’ length negotiations between Amryt, on the one hand, and Chiesi, on the other, and was approved by the Amryt Board. Moelis did not recommend any specific consideration to the Amryt Board, or that any specific amount or type of consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the Transaction.
Moelis acted as exclusive financial advisor to Amryt in connection with the Transaction. Amryt agreed to pay Moelis certain fees for its services in connection with the Transaction, comprised of (i) an opinion fee of $2 million, which
72

TABLE OF CONTENTS

became payable upon delivery of Moelis’ opinion on January 8, 2023 and which shall be offset against the M&A transaction fee referred to below, and (ii) an M&A transaction fee, which shall become payable upon consummation of the Transaction. The M&A transaction fee is calculated by reference to the fully diluted enterprise value of Amryt implied by the Transaction and is currently estimated to be approximately $32 million, prior to any offsets from retainer fees or credits from previous engagement letters. In addition, Amryt has agreed to reimburse Moelis for certain of its expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and to indemnify Moelis and related persons against various liabilities, including certain liabilities under the federal securities laws.
Moelis’ affiliates, employees, officers and partners may at any time own securities (long or short) of Amryt or Chiesi. Moelis has provided investment banking and other services unrelated to the Transaction to Amryt in the two years prior to the date of its opinion, including acting as, among other things, financial advisor to Amryt in connection with several potential and/or completed acquisitions of businesses and earned fees of approximately $7.9 million in connection with such assignments. Moelis has not provided investment banking or other services to Chiesi in the two years prior to the date of its opinion. In the future Moelis may provide such services to Chiesi and may receive compensation for such services.
Amryt selected Moelis as its exclusive financial advisor in connection with the Transaction because Moelis has substantial experience in similar transactions and familiarity with Amryt. Moelis is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, strategic transactions, corporate restructurings, and valuations for corporate and other purposes.
Certain Amryt Forecasts
Other than periodic guidance concerning Amryt’s projected revenues, which guidance Amryt presents as a range, Amryt does not as a matter of course publicly disclose financial forecasts or projections as to future revenues or other results of its operations due to, among other reasons, the uncertainty, unpredictability and subjectivity of the underlying assumptions and estimates. However, as described further in the section entitled “Background of the Scheme” in this scheme circular, Amryt management has historically prepared and periodically updated forecasts for use in discussions and reviews with the Amryt Board of the standalone strategic plan of Amryt and available strategic opportunities. The financial forecasts set forth in the section entitled “2022 LRP” below (the “2022 LRP”) were provided to the Amryt Board and Moelis. The financial forecasts set forth in the section entitled “Strategic Plan” below (the “Strategic Plan”) were provided, to the extent described below, to certain potential counterparties that had executed confidentiality agreements with Amryt (including Chiesi and its financial advisor) in connection with their evaluation of a potential acquisition of Amryt, as well as to Moelis. The Amryt Board authorized and directed Moelis to use and rely on the 2022 LRP in connection with its financial analyses and opinion. The 2022 LRP and the Strategic Plan are collectively referred to as the “Forecasts”. The Forecasts are presented in this scheme circular solely to give Amryt shareholders access to the information that was made available to the Amryt Board, Chiesi and their respective financial advisors to the extent described in this section.
The Forecasts were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or with a view toward complying with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), the published guidelines of the SEC or any other regulatory authority regarding projections or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or any other accounting body for the preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. Neither Amryt’s independent registered public accounting firm, nor any other independent registered accounting firm, has compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the prospective financial information contained herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the prospective financial information. The reports of Amryt’s independent registered public accounting firm incorporated by reference into this scheme circular relate to Amryt’s historical financial information, and no such report (or report of any other independent accounting firm incorporated by reference herein) extends to the Forecasts or should be read to do so.
The Forecasts are subjective in many respects and thus subject to interpretation. While presented with numerical specificity, the Forecasts reflect numerous estimates and assumptions made by Amryt’s management at the time the Forecasts were prepared that are difficult to predict and that are beyond Amryt’s control and are subject to change. The assumptions and estimates underlying the Forecasts are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, competitive and regulatory risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the Forecasts, including, among others, the following: risks and uncertainties relating to the commercialization of Amryt’s products and product candidates, obtaining marketing approvals for
73

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Filsuvez in the U.S. and for other products and product candidates in additional indications or in additional jurisdictions, maintaining the scope and extent of Amryt’s intellectual property and regulatory protections, and the research, development, regulatory review and potential future commercialization of Amryt’s product candidates; market demand, pricing, governmental reimbursement and other factors beyond the control of Amryt; and other risks and uncertainties relating to Amryt’s business (including its ability to achieve strategic goals, objectives and targets over applicable periods); industry performance; the regulatory and competitive environment; general global business and economic conditions and other matters described in the sections entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and Part I, Item 3D in Amryt’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021, which is incorporated by reference into this scheme circular. Modeling and forecasting the future commercialization of clinical, pre-clinical and research stage product candidates is a highly speculative endeavor. In addition to the various limitations, risks and uncertainties described above, we also cannot assure you that Amryt will obtain and maintain any of the regulatory approvals necessary for the commercialization of its product candidates, or that Amryt’s competitors will not commercialize products that are safer, more effective or more successfully marketed and sold than Amryt’s products or the products that Amryt may commercialize in the future. Some or all of the estimates and assumptions underlying the Forecasts may have changed since the date the Forecasts were prepared.
Accordingly, Amryt cannot assure readers that the Forecasts are necessarily predictive of the future performance of Amryt or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the Forecasts. Additionally, the Forecasts cover a number of years into the future and such information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year. The inclusion of the Forecasts in this scheme circular should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the Forecasts will be achieved or that the results achieved would or would not exceed those reflected in the Forecasts if the Transaction is not consummated.
The Forecasts were developed for Amryt on a stand-alone basis without giving effect to the Transaction or entry into the Transaction Agreement, including any potential synergies that may be achieved by the combined company as a result of the Transaction, any changes to Amryt’s strategy or operations that may be implemented after the consummation of the Transaction or any costs incurred in connection with the Transaction. Furthermore, the Forecasts do not take into account the effect of any failure of the Transaction to be completed and should not be viewed as relevant or continuing in that context.
The Forecasts include non-IFRS financial measures. These non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with IFRS, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Financial measures included in projections provided to a financial advisor and a board of directors in connection with a business combination transaction are excluded from the definition of “non-GAAP financial measures” under the rules of the SEC, and therefore such financial measures are not subject to SEC rules regarding disclosures of non-GAAP financial measures, which may otherwise require a reconciliation of a non-IFRS financial measure to a IFRS financial measure. Reconciliations of non-IFRS financial measures were not provided to and were not relied on by Moelis for purposes of their respective financial analyses and opinions or by the Amryt Board in connection with its consideration of the Transaction, nor were they provided to Chiesi or its financial advisor. Accordingly, we have not provided a reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures.
Amryt does not intend to update or otherwise revise the Forecasts after the date of this scheme circular to reflect circumstances existing since their preparation or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, even in the event that any or all of the underlying assumptions are shown to be in error, or to reflect changes in general economic or industry conditions.
By including the Forecasts in this scheme circular, neither Amryt nor Chiesi nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or other representatives has made or makes any representation to any person regarding the ultimate performance of Amryt compared to the information contained in the Forecasts. Accordingly, the Forecasts should not be construed as financial guidance, nor relied on as such. The Forecasts are not included in this scheme circular in order to induce any Amryt shareholder to vote in favor of the Proposals or to influence any Amryt shareholder or any other person to make any investment decision with respect to the Transaction or otherwise, but rather solely because the Forecasts or portions thereof were made available to the Amryt Board, Chiesi and their respective financial advisors as described further below. For the reasons described above, readers of this scheme circular are cautioned not to place undue, if any, reliance on the Forecasts. Amryt has not made any representation and warranties in the Transaction Agreement concerning the Forecasts.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2022 LRP
The 2022 LRP includes management projections for Amryt’s full commercial portfolio (metreleptin, lomitapide, Filsuvez ex-U.S., Mycapssa) and its pipelines indications for metreleptin in the treatment of partial lipodystrophy in the U.S., Filsuvez in the U.S., Mycapssa for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors and AP103, in each case risk-adjusted for probability of success (“POS”) and loss of exclusivity assumptions. Given the unpredictability of Amryt obtaining the Filsuvez marketing approval in the U.S. following receipt of a complete response letter (as research based clinical development success rates are not applicable for this fact pattern) and the expected binary outcome of the appeal process with the FDA in 2023, Filsuvez and the potential priority voucher sale proceeds were calculated by management using a range of POS for Filsuvez in the U.S. of 100% (“Filsuvez U.S. Success Scenario”) to 0% POS for Filsuvez in the U.S. (“Filsuvez U.S. Non-approval Scenario”) to reflect the binary nature of each outcome. The 2022 LRP was approved by the Amryt Board for use by Moelis for purposes of performing its financial analyses in connection with rendering its opinion described in the section entitled “The Transaction—Opinion of Financial Advisor of Amryt” in this scheme circular. The 2022 LRP was not provided to any potential counterparty.

Strategic Plan
The Strategic Plan covers the same products and product candidates as the 2022 LRP but represents a more optimistic view of the potential commercial success for Amryt’s marketed portfolio, the pipeline program’s POS and on the go-forward impact of COVID-19 on business operations and physician visits. The Strategic Plan was generally prepared by Amryt management on the basis of the same assumptions as the 2022 LRP, but assumes faster uptake and higher penetration of Mycapssa in the U.S. and a higher POS for Mycapssa for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors. As with the 2022 LRP, management prepared the Strategic Plan to include a range of POS for Filsuvez in the U.S. of 100% to 0% to address both the Filsuvez U.S. Success Scenario and the Filsuvez U.S. Non-approval Scenario. A version of the Strategic Plan which used, for illustrative purposes, a POS for Filsuvez in the U.S. at the midpoint of that range (i.e., POS of 50%) was provided to certain potential counterparties that had executed confidentiality agreements with Amryt, including Chiesi and its financial advisor, in connection with their evaluation of a potential acquisition of Amryt.

Unlevered free cash flow is a non-IFRS measure defined as Adjusted EBITDA, less cash tax expense, less share-based compensation adjustment, less milestones payments related to Filsuvez and AP103, less changes in working capital, less capital expenditures, plus cash benefit from net operating loss (“NOL”) utilization. Pursuant to the guidance of Amryt management, the cash benefit from NOL utilization includes the tax-effected utilization of Amryt Irish NOLs as of December 31, 2021 and does not include $182.9 million of U.S. NOLs, $26.4 million of German NOLs, or $3 million of UK NOLs due to uncertainty of recovery subject to profit recognition in various tax jurisdictions.
Interests of Amryt’s Non-Executive Directors and Executive Officers in the Transaction
Amryt’s non-executive directors and executive officers may be deemed to have, similar to other transactions of this type, certain financial interests in the Transaction that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of the Amryt shareholders generally. The members of the Amryt Board were aware of and considered these interests in reaching the determination to approve the agreement and recommend to the Amryt shareholders that they vote to approve the Proposals.
Amryt’s executive officers for purposes of the discussion below are Dr. Joseph A. Wiley (Chief Executive Officer) and Rory P. Nealon (Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer).
The exercise price of certain Irish Options held by the executive officers is in GBP. In calculating the United States Dollars equivalent for such exercise price reported for the executive officers, amounts in GBP have been converted to United States Dollars at the rate of exchange as published by The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition at the end of February 14, 2023.
Treatment of Equity and Equity-Based Awards
For information regarding beneficial ownership of Amryt Ordinary Shares, Amryt ADSs and equity-based awards by each of Amryt’s non-executive directors and named executive officers and all of the directors and executive officers as a group, please see the section entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” in

TABLE OF CONTENTS

this scheme circular. Each of Amryt’s non-executive directors and executive officers will be entitled to receive, for each Amryt Ordinary Share or Amryt ADS he or she holds, the same Transaction Consideration as other shareholders as described in the section entitled “The Transaction Agreement—Scheme Consideration to Amryt Shareholders” in this scheme circular.
As described further in the section entitled “The Transaction Agreement—Treatment of Equity and Equity-Based Awards” in this scheme circular, subject to all required withholding taxes, treatment of all equity-based awards granted to Amryt’s non-executive directors and executive officers under the Transaction is as follows:
Each Option (other than the Irish Options, the Specified Options and the Israeli Options) that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will vest in full and be automatically canceled, and converted into a right to receive at the Effective Time a cash payment equal to the “in-the-money” value of the Option based on the value of the Per Share Cash Consideration or Per ADS Cash Consideration, as applicable, and the same CVRs to which holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs are entitled.
Each Specified Option that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will become fully vested and be canceled and converted into the right to receive at the Effective Time the same CVRs per Amryt ADS subject to such Specified Option and any subsequent payment in respect thereof will be reduced by an amount equal to the excess of the exercise price over the Per ADS Cash Consideration payable to holders of Amryt ADSs.
Each Irish Option that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will become fully vested and each holder of such option will be caused to exercise, or be deemed to have exercised, their Irish Options, within a specified period effective immediately prior to the Scheme Record Time and conditional upon the sanction of the Court of the Scheme of Arrangement and any resulting Amryt Ordinary Shares (or converted number of Amryt Ordinary Shares for Irish Options subject to Amryt ADSs) acquired on exercise will be acquired by Chiesi under the Transaction Agreement and the Scheme of Arrangement, and any Irish Options not exercised or deemed to have been exercised within the specified period will lapse and cease to be exercisable in accordance with their terms.
Each Irish PSU Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Scheme Record Time, whether vested or unvested, will, conditional upon the sanction of the Court to the Scheme of Arrangement, become vested (with the number of Amryt Ordinary Shares that so vest determined based on the greater of target performance and actual performance, pursuant to the terms of such Irish PSU Award), and holders of such Irish PSU Awards will receive the corresponding number of Amryt Ordinary Shares (with the number of Amryt Ordinary Shares subject to such Irish PSU Awards determined based on the greater of target performance and actual performance pursuant to the terms of such Irish PSU Award), and such Amryt Ordinary Shares will be acquired by Chiesi under the Transaction Agreement and the Scheme of Arrangement. The nominal value in respect of the Amryt Ordinary Shares issued in settlement of the Irish PSU Awards shall be funded by Amryt DAC, a subsidiary of Amryt.
Payments made to holders of Israeli Options will be delivered to the trustee appointed by Amryt for the purpose of the Israeli sub-plan governing such awards and may be held by the trustee until the lapse of the mandatory holding period of two years from the date of grant of such Israeli Options, as appropriate based on the Israeli Tax law and any options tax ruling to be obtained from the Israel Tax Authorities.
The following table sets forth the number of Options, Specified Options, Irish Options, Israeli Options and Irish PSU Awards held by each of Amryt’s non-executive directors and executive officers as of February 16, 2023, the latest practicable date to determine such amounts before the date of this scheme circular, and the cash amounts payable (on a pre-tax basis) in respect thereof.
The amounts reflected in the table below include the value of Options, Specified Options, Irish Options, Israeli Options and Irish PSU Awards. These awards were granted over Amryt Ordinary Shares (with an ability to convert into Amryt ADSs). Each Option, Specified Option, Irish Option or Israeli Option (to the extent that it is in-the-money) is valued based on the difference between the per share exercise price of such option and the value of the Transaction Consideration, valued at $3.40 per Amryt Ordinary Share (comprising the Per Share Cash Consideration of $2.90 and a maximum of $0.50 payable per Amryt Ordinary Share under the Per Share CVR Consideration), as described

Amounts presented in this column are exclusive of any payment pursuant to the CVRs.
(2)
Payment of CVR consideration is subject to achievement of applicable milestones under the CVRs. Amounts presented in this column assumes the achievement of both applicable milestones under the CVRs, is expressed as nominal value and not discounted for net present value.
(3)
The numbers of Amryt Ordinary Shares that so vest will be determined based on the greater of target performance and actual performance, pursuant to the terms of such Irish PSU Awards, and holders of such Irish PSU Awards will receive the corresponding number of Amryt Ordinary Shares which will be acquired by Chiesi under the Transaction Agreement and the Scheme of Arrangement. The number of Amryt Ordinary Shares vested under the Irish PSU Awards, for the purpose of the table above, is calculated based on the target performance (i.e., 100% of the number of ordinary shares subject to such Irish PSU Award) as actual performance will not be determined until after the date of this scheme circular but in no event will exceed 150% of the number of Amryt Ordinary Shares subject to such Irish PSU Award.

Amounts presented in this column are inclusive of payment in respect of, and assumes achievement of the milestones pursuant to, the CVRs.
(5)
Amounts exclude any options which are “out-of-the-money” (i.e. options with an exercise price that is equal to or greater than $14.50 per Amryt ADS or $2.90 per Amryt Ordinary Share, as applicable).

Amounts exclude any options which are “out-of-the-money” (i.e. options with an exercise price that is equal to or greater than $14.50 per Amryt ADS or $2.90 per Amryt Ordinary Share, as applicable) but include Specified Options granted to Dr. Mamluk to acquire 5,148 Amryt ADSs at an exercise price per Amryt ADS of $14.68.
Severance Entitlements
Each of Amryt’s non-executive directors and executive officers is subject to Amryt’s Directors’ Remuneration Policy as approved by Amryt’s shareholders in the general meeting in March 2022. In a change of control scenario, if each of the executive officers’ employment terminates other than for cause or if an executive officer resigns in certain circumstances, e.g., diminution of duties, the executive officer will be entitled to 24 months’ salary, his target bonus of 65% of 24 months’ salary (in the case of Mr. Rory Nealon, 50% of 24 months’ salary) and any unpaid benefits, vacation expenses and expense reimbursements. Pursuant to Dr. Joseph Wiley’s new employment agreement effective from December 2022, Dr. Wiley will be entitled to a target bonus of 70% of 24 months’ salary (instead of 65% of 24 months’ salary) if Amryt’s new Directors’ Remuneration Policy is subsequently approved by Amryt’s shareholders at the next general meeting or in connection with a change of control. The non-executive directors provide services by way of a letter of appointment with a notice period of three months in the event of termination of their appointment unless they are not re-appointed by Amryt’s shareholders at the next general meeting.
Tax Reimbursement Agreements
Amryt may enter into tax reimbursement agreements with Dr. Wiley and other officers who are not named executive officers, pursuant to which Amryt will agree to make tax reimbursement payments, subject to certain limitations, to
78

TABLE OF CONTENTS

such individuals to the extent such individuals are subject, in connection with the Transactions, to an excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code in an amount that generally will place them in the same after-tax position that they would have been in if no excise tax had applied and no tax reimbursement payment had been made. The amount of any such tax reimbursement payment will be based on a number of factors and is uncertain.
New Management Arrangements
As of the date of this scheme circular, there are no employment, retention or other agreements, arrangements or understandings between any of Amryt’s non-executive directors or executive officers, on the one hand, and Chiesi, on the other hand, and the Transaction is not conditioned upon any of Amryt’s non-executive directors or executive officers entering into any such agreement, arrangement or understanding.
Continuing Employee Benefits
The Transaction Agreement provides that from the closing date through the 12 month anniversary of the closing date (such period being the “benefits continuation period”), Chiesi will provide, or will cause any of Chiesi’s subsidiaries or Amryt to provide, to each individual who is employed by Amryt and its subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time, while such individual continues to be employed by Amryt, Chiesi or any of Chiesi’s subsidiaries (including subsidiaries of Amryt) during the benefits continuation period (collectively, the “affected employees”): (i) an annual base salary or wage rate that is not less than the annual base salary or wage rate provided to such affected employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) short-term and long-term incentive compensation opportunities (including the value of equity or equity-based incentives, which value may be provided in the form of non-equity based incentives, but excluding any change in control, retention, sale bonus or other special or non-recurring plans, programs and arrangements) and other employee benefits (excluding any equity or equity-based compensation, change in control, retention, sale bonus or any special or non-recurring plans, programs and arrangements and any retiree or post-termination health or welfare benefits or defined benefit pension benefits) that are, in each case, substantially comparable in the aggregate to such incentive compensation opportunities and such employee benefits that were provided to such affected employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, which obligation may be satisfied with respect to any particular compensation or benefit through the maintenance of an Amryt benefit plan that provides such compensation or benefits (e.g., commission plans). During the benefits continuation period, Chiesi will, or will cause its subsidiaries or Amryt to, provide severance benefits to any affected employee that are no less favorable than the severance benefits provided to similarly-situated employees of Chiesi or any of its subsidiaries.
In addition, Chiesi will, or will cause any of Chiesi’s subsidiaries or Amryt to, pay, in accordance with the terms of any Amryt benefit plan or the relevant contract of employment, to each affected employee who participates in an annual incentive plan or similar incentive plan in respect of the fiscal year in which the closing occurs a cash bonus in respect of such fiscal year based on actual performance, prorated based on the number of calendar days elapsed during such fiscal year through the closing date, payable at the time such bonus would otherwise have been paid (or, if earlier, upon such service provider’s termination from service). Notwithstanding the above, Chiesi, or any of Chiesi’s subsidiaries or Amryt, will be obligated to continue to employ any Amryt employee, who is employed by Amryt and its subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time, for any period of time following the Effective Time.
As of the closing date, pre-existing employment contracts will continue in place with the relevant Amryt entity.
Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance
Chiesi has agreed, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, existing as of January 8, 2023, in favor of the current or former directors or officers of Amryt or its subsidiaries as provided for in their respective articles of association, organizational documents or in any agreement or deed of indemnity will survive the Transaction and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. For a period of six years from the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, Chiesi must cause Amryt and its subsidiaries to maintain in effect any and all exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of the articles of association or similar organizational documents of Amryt and its subsidiaries in effect as at January 8, 2023 or in any indemnification agreements of Amryt or its subsidiaries with any of their respective current or former directors or officers in effect as at January 8, 2023, and to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law must not permit Amryt or any of its
79

TABLE OF CONTENTS

subsidiaries to amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions or any such indemnification agreements or the exculpation, indemnification or advancement of expenses provisions of the organizational documents of Amryt or its subsidiaries in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individuals who immediately before the Effective Time were current or former directors or officers of Amryt or any of its subsidiaries, provided, however, that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses in respect of any proceeding pending or asserted or any claim made within such period will continue until the disposition of such proceeding or resolution of such claims. Following the closing, Chiesi must cause Amryt to comply with such terms.
In addition, Amryt will, prior to the Effective Time, purchase a six-year prepaid “tail policy” with coverage, benefits and terms no less favorable to Amryt or any of its subsidiaries (each, together with such person’s heirs, executors or administrators, an “Indemnified Party”) than the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance with respect to acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred prior to the Effective Time, subject to certain premium thresholds. For additional information see the section entitled “The Transaction Agreement—Indemnification” in this scheme circular.
Quantification of Payments and Benefits
Golden Parachute Compensation
This section sets forth the information required by Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K regarding the compensation for each of Amryt’s named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the Transaction and that will or may be paid or become payable to the named executive officer either immediately at the Effective Time (i.e., on a “single-trigger” basis) or in the event of a qualifying termination of employment in connection with the Transaction (i.e., on a “double-trigger” basis). This compensation is referenced as “golden parachute” compensation by the applicable SEC disclosure rules. The amounts set forth in the table are estimates based on multiple assumptions that may or may not actually occur, including assumptions described herein and in the footnotes to the table. As a result, the actual amounts, if any, that the named executive officers receive may materially differ from the amounts set forth in the table.
The table below assumes that (1) the consummation of the Transaction constitutes a change in control for purposes of the applicable compensation plan or agreement; (2) the closing date will occur on April 1, 2023 (which is the assumed closing date of the Transaction solely for purposes of the disclosure in this section); (3) each named executive officer’s employment will terminate other than for cause or the named executive officer will resign in certain circumstances, e.g., diminution of duties, entitling them to severance benefits under Amryt’s Directors’ Remuneration Policy, as described in the section entitled “Interests of Amryt’s Non-Executive Directors and Executive Officers in the TransactionSeverance Entitlements” in this scheme circular and (4) the value of the vesting acceleration of the named executive officer’s equity-based awards is calculated using the amount to be paid for an Amryt Ordinary Share or an Amryt ADS, as applicable and includes any cash consideration and any CVRs which may be issued in respect of equity or any equity-based awards (assuming the achievement of both applicable milestones under the CVRs). The amounts in the table below do not include any value ordinarily received in respect of Irish Options and Irish PSU Awards held by the named executive officers that have vested or are expected to vest prior to the assumed closing date of the Transaction.

Regulatory and Court Approvals Required for the Transaction
Completion of the Transaction is conditional on, among other things, (i) required antitrust and foreign investment law clearances and (ii) sanction of the Scheme of Arrangement by the Court.
Antitrust and Foreign Investment Law Matters
Under the HSR Act, certain transactions may not be completed until certain information and materials have been furnished to the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and the applicable HSR Act waiting period requirements have been satisfied.
The Transaction is subject to the provisions of the HSR Act and therefore cannot be completed until each of Chiesi and Amryt file a notification and report form with the DOJ and the FTC under the HSR Act and the applicable waiting period (and any extension thereof) has expired or been terminated. The waiting period under the HSR Act applicable to the Transaction is 30 calendar days, unless the waiting period is terminated earlier, extended or restarted. If the DOJ or FTC issues a request for additional information and documentary materials (which we refer to as a “Second Request”), the parties must observe a second 30-day waiting period, which would begin to run only after both parties have substantially complied with such Second Request, unless the waiting period is terminated earlier. The parties may also agree with the DOJ or FTC to not consummate the Transaction for a specified period of time. If any waiting period expires on a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday, then the period is extended until 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, in the U.S. on the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday.
81

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Chiesi and Amryt each filed a notification and report form with respect to the Transaction with the DOJ and the FTC under the HSR Act on February 2, 2023. The waiting period with respect to the notification and report forms filed under the HSR Act is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on March 6, 2023, unless extended or earlier terminated.
The Transaction is also conditioned on the receipt of approvals or clearances under the applicable antitrust and foreign investment laws of certain specified jurisdictions.
The Transaction is further conditioned on there not having been issued by a court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction, an order that remains in effect and prohibits consummation of the Transaction, and the absence of any law that remains in effect and prohibits or makes illegal the consummation of the Transaction.
At any time before or after consummation of the Transaction, the DOJ, the FTC, state attorneys general or non-U.S. authorities could take such action under the antitrust laws as it deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to preliminarily or permanently enjoin the Transaction, seeking divestiture of substantial assets of Chiesi or Amryt, requiring the parties to license or hold separate assets or terminate existing relationships and contractual rights, or requiring the parties to agree to other actions or remedies. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances, including by seeking to intervene in the regulatory process, to litigate to enjoin or overturn regulatory approvals, or to bring private actions to enjoin the Transaction. In addition, one or more governmental bodies could take such action under foreign investment laws as it deems necessary or desirable in order to mitigate any identified national security or public order concerns, including seeking divestiture of assets or operations, the safeguarding of intellectual property rights, the protection of sensitive information from unauthorized access, requiring the parties to continue to provide strategic capabilities, or requiring the parties to agree to other remedies. Any of these actions could impede or preclude obtaining regulatory approvals or consummating the Transaction.
Chiesi and Amryt have each agreed to use their respective reasonable benefit efforts to obtain the regulatory approvals required to consummate the Transaction, subject to certain limitations as set forth in the Transaction Agreement. Although Amryt expects that required antitrust and foreign investment law clearances will be obtained, there can be no assurances that these regulatory clearances and approvals will be timely obtained, obtained at all, or that the granting of these regulatory clearances and approvals will not involve the imposition of additional conditions, restrictions, qualifications, requirements or limitations on the consummation of the Transaction, that could result in the conditions to the Transaction not being satisfied. There can be no assurances that a challenge to the Transaction will not be made or that, if a challenge is made, Amryt will prevail.
Court Approval
The Scheme of Arrangement requires the approval of the Court, which involves an application by Amryt to the Court to sanction the Scheme of Arrangement.
For a description of the commitments made by Amryt and Chiesi to obtain the necessary regulatory and Court approvals for the Transaction, see the section entitled “The Transaction Agreement—Efforts to Complete the Transaction” in this scheme circular. There can be no assurance that the requisite approvals will be obtained on a timely basis or at all.
Accounting Treatment
The Transaction is anticipated to be accounted for as an acquisition of a business, pending final assessment upon closing of the Transaction. Chiesi anticipates that it will record in its consolidated financial statements assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Amryt primarily at their respective fair values at the date of closing of the Transaction. Any excess consideration is anticipated to be recorded to goodwill. The consolidated financial statements of Chiesi after closing of the Transaction will include the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date and Amryt business economic results after closing of the Transaction but will not be restated retroactively to reflect the historical financial condition or results of operations at Amryt.
Delisting and Deregistration of Amryt ADSs
Following the consummation of the Transaction, Amryt ADSs will be delisted from Nasdaq and deregistered under the Exchange Act, and Amryt will no longer be required to file periodic reports with the SEC.
No Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights
No appraisal or dissenters’ rights are available to holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares and Amryt ADSs under the laws of England and Wales in connection with the Transaction.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

THE TRANSACTION AGREEMENT
Explanatory Note Regarding the Transaction Agreement
The following is a summary of certain material terms of the Transaction Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Transaction Agreement, which is included as Annex A to this scheme circular and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. This summary is not intended to provide you with any other factual information about Amryt or Chiesi. You are urged to read the Transaction Agreement carefully and, in its entirety, as well as this scheme circular before making any decisions regarding the Transaction.
The Transaction Agreement contains representations and warranties by each of the parties to the Transaction Agreement. These representations and warranties have been made: (i) solely for the benefit of the parties to the Transaction Agreement; (ii) have been made only for purposes of the Transaction Agreement; (iii) have been qualified by certain documents filed with, or furnished to, the SEC by Amryt since January 1, 2020; (iv) have been qualified by confidential disclosures made to Amryt or Chiesi, as applicable, in connection with the Transaction Agreement; (v) are subject to materiality qualifications contained in the Transaction Agreement that may differ from what may be viewed as material by investors; (vi) were made only as of January 8, 2023 or such other date as is specified in the Transaction Agreement; and (vii) have been included in the Transaction Agreement for the purpose of allocating risk between Amryt and Chiesi, rather than establishing matters as facts.
You should not rely on the representations and warranties or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Amryt or Chiesi or any of their respective affiliates or businesses. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after January 8, 2023, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Amryt’s public disclosures. Accordingly, the representations and warranties and other provisions of the Transaction Agreement should not be read alone, but instead should be read together with the information provided elsewhere in this scheme circular and in the documents incorporated by reference into this scheme circular. See the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” in this scheme circular.
Structure of the Transaction
The Transaction Agreement provides that, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the completion of the Transaction, Chiesi will acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Amryt pursuant to a scheme of arrangement, under Part 26 of the United Kingdom Companies Act 2006 (the “Scheme of Arrangement”). Upon completion of the Transaction, Amryt will be a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Chiesi.
Closing and Effective Time
Unless Amryt and Chiesi agree otherwise, the closing of the Transaction (the “closing”) will take place as promptly as practicable (and in any event within three business days) following the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by applicable law) waiver of the conditions to the completion of the Transaction (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions). The date on which the closing actually occurs is referred to as the “closing date”.
The Scheme of Arrangement will become effective upon delivery by Amryt of the order of the Court sanctioning the Scheme of Arrangement (such order, the “Court Order”) to the Registrar of Companies in England and Wales.

At the Effective Time, the holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares (including the Amryt Ordinary Shares held by the Depositary that underlie the outstanding Amryt ADSs) as of a record time of 6:00 p.m. (London time) on the business day immediately preceding the Effective Time will have the right to receive for each Amryt Ordinary Share held by them at such time an amount equal to: (a) $2.90 in cash, without interest (the “Per Share Cash Consideration”); and (b)(i) one Milestone 1 CVR (defined below) and (ii) one Milestone 2 CVR (defined below) (together, the “Per Share CVR consideration” and, together with the Per Share Cash Consideration, the “Per Share Consideration”). Because each Amryt ADS represents a beneficial interest in five Amryt Ordinary Shares, holders of Amryt ADSs will be entitled to receive: (a) $14.50 in cash, without interest (the “Per ADS Cash Consideration”) and (b)(i) five Milestone 1 CVRs and (ii) five Milestone 2 CVRs (together, the “Per ADS CVR Consideration” and, together with the Per ADS Cash Consideration, the “Per ADS Consideration”). The “Milestone 1 CVR” is a contractual contingent value right
83

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(a “CVR”) representing the right to receive a contingent payment equal to $0.20 with respect to the achievement of Milestone 1 pursuant to and as defined in the CVR Agreement. The “Milestone 2 CVR” is a CVR representing the right to receive a contingent payment equal to $0.30 with respect to the achievement of Milestone 2 pursuant to and as defined in the CVR Agreement. Each of Milestone 1 and Milestone 2 is described in the section entitled “Agreements Related to the Transaction—CVR Agreement” in this scheme circular.
Following the Effective Time, each holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares will cease to have any rights with respect to such Amryt Ordinary Shares, except for the right in accordance with the Scheme of Arrangement to receive the Scheme Consideration in consideration therefor.
If, between January 8, 2023 and the Effective Time, the outstanding Amryt Ordinary Shares are changed into, or exchanged for, a different number or class of shares or securities by reason of any share dividend, bonus issue, scrip dividend, subdivision, reorganization, merger, consolidation, reclassification, redesignation, recapitalization, share split, reverse share split, combination or exchange of shares, or a share or scrip dividend will be declared with a record date within such period, or any similar event occurs (or if the number of Amryt Ordinary Shares represented by each Amryt ADS is changed pursuant to the Deposit Agreement), then the Per Share Consideration and/or the Per ADS Consideration, as applicable, will be appropriately adjusted to provide to Chiesi and the holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by the Transaction Agreement prior to such event.
Treatment of Equity and Equity-Based Awards
At the Effective Time, subject to all required withholding taxes:
Each Option that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will vest in full and be automatically canceled, and converted into a right to receive at the Effective Time (i) a cash payment equal to the product of (A) the excess of the amount to be paid for an Amryt Ordinary Share or an Amryt ADS, as applicable, pursuant to the Transaction over the exercise price, multiplied by (B) the total number of Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs, as applicable, subject to such Option; and (ii) the same CVRs per Amryt Ordinary Share or Amryt ADS, as applicable, subject to such Option, provided that, other than the Specified Options, any Options with an exercise price that is equal to or greater than $14.50 per Amryt ADS or $2.90 per Amryt Ordinary Share, as applicable, will be automatically canceled without any payment.
Each Specified Option that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will become fully vested and be canceled and converted into the right to receive at the Effective Time the same CVRs per Amryt ADS subject to such Specified Option and any subsequent payment in respect thereof will be reduced by an amount equal to the excess of the exercise price over the Per ADS Cash Consideration payable to holders of Amryt ADSs.
Each Irish Option that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will become fully vested and each holder of such option will be caused to exercise, or be deemed to have exercised, their Irish Options, within a specified period effective immediately prior to the Scheme Record Time and conditional upon the sanction of the Court of the Scheme of Arrangement and any resulting Amryt Ordinary Shares (or converted number of Amryt Ordinary Shares for Irish Options subject to Amryt ADSs) acquired on exercise will be acquired by Chiesi under the Transaction Agreement and the Scheme of Arrangement, and any Irish Options not exercised or deemed to have been exercised within the specified period will lapse and cease to be exercisable in accordance with their terms.
Each RSU Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Irish RSU Awards and the Israeli RSU Awards), whether vested or unvested, will become fully vested and be canceled and converted into the right to receive (i) a cash payment equal to the product of (A) the amount to be paid for an Amryt Ordinary Share or an Amryt ADS, as applicable, pursuant to the Transaction, multiplied by (B) the total number of Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs, as applicable subject to such RSU Award, and (ii) the same CVRs per Amryt Ordinary Share or Amryt ADS, as applicable, subject to such RSU Award.
Each Irish RSU Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Scheme Record Time will, conditional upon the sanction of the Court of the Scheme of Arrangement, whether vested or unvested, become fully vested, and holders of such Irish RSU Award will receive the corresponding number of Amryt Ordinary
84

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Shares (and if any Irish RSU Awards are subject to Amryt ADSs, will receive the corresponding number of Amryt Ordinary Shares at a conversion ratio of one Amryt ADS to five Amryt Ordinary Shares) subject to such Irish RSU Award immediately prior to the Scheme Record Time, and such Amryt Ordinary Shares will be acquired by Chiesi under the Transaction Agreement and the Scheme of Arrangement.
Each PSU Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Irish PSU Awards), whether vested and unvested, will become vested (with the number of Amryt Ordinary Shares that so vest determined based on the greater of target performance and actual performance, pursuant to the terms of such PSU Award) and be canceled and converted into the right to receive (i) a cash payment equal to the product of (A) the amount to be paid for an Amryt Ordinary Share, pursuant to the Transaction, multiplied by (B) the number of Amryt Ordinary Shares subject to such PSU Award (determined based on the greater of target performance and actual performance, pursuant to the terms of such PSU Award), and (ii) the same CVRs per Amryt Ordinary Share subject to such PSU Award.
Each Irish PSU Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Scheme Record Time, whether vested or unvested, will, conditional upon the sanction of the Court to the Scheme of Arrangement, become vested (with the number of Amryt Ordinary Shares that so vest determined based on the greater of target performance and actual performance, pursuant to the terms of such Irish PSU Award), and holders of such Irish PSU Awards will receive the corresponding number of Amryt Ordinary Shares (with the number of Amryt Ordinary Shares subject to such Irish PSU Awards determined based on the greater of target performance and actual performance pursuant to the terms of such Irish PSU Award), and such Amryt Ordinary Shares will be acquired by Chiesi under the Transaction Agreement and the Scheme of Arrangement.
Payments made to holders of Israeli Options and/or Israeli RSU Awards will be delivered to the trustee appointed by Amryt for the purpose of the Israeli sub-plan governing such awards and may be held by the trustee until the lapse of the mandatory holding period of two years from the date of grant of such Israeli Options or Israeli RSU Awards, as appropriate based on the Israeli Tax law and any options tax ruling to be obtained from the Israel Tax Authorities.
Consideration for Amryt Ordinary Shares
Prior to the closing, Chiesi will appoint a Rights Agent and a Paying Agent that is reasonably acceptable to Amryt (“Paying Agent”). Chiesi may satisfy its obligations in respect of the Amryt Ordinary Shares underlying the Amryt ADSs held by or on behalf of the Depositary by providing the Per ADS Consideration directly to the Depositary (or its nominee that is the shareholder of record in respect of such Amryt Ordinary Shares (the “Depositary custodian”)).
Prior to the closing, Amryt and Chiesi will establish procedures with the Depositary to ensure that: (i) the Depositary (or the Depositary custodian) will promptly deliver the Per ADS Consideration (net of the Amryt ADS Fees and applicable withholding taxes to be deducted from the Per ADS Cash Consideration) to each holder of an Amryt ADS; (ii) any funds unclaimed by holders of Amryt ADSs will be treated by the Depositary, as closely as reasonably possible, in the same manner as Amryt Ordinary Shares are treated by the Paying Agent with respect to other matters specified in the Transaction Agreement; and (iii) if reasonably practicable, the Per Share Consideration in respect of the Depositary shares will be delivered directly by Chiesi to the Depositary (or the Depositary custodian) rather than through the Paying Agent. If the parties reasonably deem necessary in furtherance of the establishment of such procedures, Amryt will enter into one or more amendments to the Deposit Agreement that are reasonably acceptable to the Depositary, and Amryt and Chiesi will deliver any certificates and opinions of counsel reasonably requested by the Depositary in connection therewith. Chiesi will bear the fees, charges and expenses that Amryt ADS holders are required to bear under the Deposit Agreement in connection with the Transaction, the cancellation of Amryt ADSs and the receipt of the Per ADS Consideration, but in no event will Chiesi be required to bear more than $0.05 per Amryt ADS. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable in respect of Amryt ADSs.

fluctuations in the value of any currency;
regulatory, legislative or political conditions or conditions in securities, credit, financial, debt or other capital markets (including changes in interest or inflation rates), in each case in the U.S. or any other country or jurisdiction;

any decline, in and of itself, in the market price or trading volume of the Amryt ADSs or any other outstanding security or debt obligation of Amryt (except that any events, changes, effects, circumstances, facts, developments or occurrences giving rise to or contributing to such failure that are not otherwise excluded from the definition may be taken into account);
any failure, in and of itself, by Amryt or any of its subsidiaries to meet any internal or published projections, forecasts, estimates or predictions, revenues, earnings or other financial or operating metrics for any period (except that any events, changes, effects, circumstances, facts, developments or occurrences giving rise to or contributing to such failure that are not otherwise excluded from the definition may be taken into account);

with respect to any Amryt product or product candidate, to the extent not involving any wrongdoing by Amryt or its subsidiaries: (A) any rejection or refusal of, any request to refile or any delay in obtaining or making any regulatory application or filing or any adverse finding from a dispute resolution process with any governmental authority; (B) any pre-clinical or clinical studies, tests or results or announcements thereof; (C) any decision or action by any governmental authority (or other payor) with respect to pricing and/or reimbursement; (D) any delay, hold or termination of any clinical trial or any planned application for marketing approval; or (E) any increased incidence or severity of any previously identified side effects, adverse effects, adverse events or safety observations or reports of new side effects, adverse effects, adverse events or safety observations (other than with respect to Amryt products that have received marketing approval) (except that effects and events that result in a broad based product recall of, or withdrawal from the market of, any Amryt product may be taken into account notwithstanding this clause).
However, the matters referred to in the first eight bullet points above may be taken into account (to the extent not excluded by another clause of the definition) to the extent that the impact on Amryt and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is materially and disproportionately adverse relative to the impact of such matters on companies operating in the industry in which Amryt and its subsidiaries operate, and then solely to the extent of such disproportionate impact.
A “Material Adverse Effect” with respect to Chiesi is defined in the Transaction Agreement to mean any event, change, effect, circumstance, fact, development or occurrence that would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of Chiesi to perform its obligations under the Transaction Agreement or the CVR Agreement or consummate the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement or by the CVR Agreement.

These obligations do not apply to the filings with or the consents of the Court to implement the Scheme of Arrangement.
In furtherance of the above obligations, Chiesi has agreed to take any and all actions necessary, proper or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of any waiting periods under any antitrust law or any foreign antitrust law applicable to the Transaction, and the receipt of all consents under applicable antitrust laws and foreign investment laws in respect of the Transaction, and to eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust law or foreign investment law that is asserted by any governmental authority and permit and cause the satisfaction of the antitrust closing conditions (defined below) as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event such that the Scheme of Arrangement can be sanctioned by the Court at least three business days prior to the end date (as defined below), including proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order or

Notwithstanding the above, neither Chiesi nor any of its respective affiliates will be required to, and Amryt will not, and will cause its subsidiaries not to, without the prior written consent of Chiesi, become subject to, consent to or offer or agree to, or otherwise take any action with respect to, any requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement or order relating to: (A) Chiesi or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective assets or businesses that would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on Chiesi and its subsidiaries (without giving effect to the Transaction), taken as a whole; or (B) Amryt or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective assets or businesses that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on Amryt and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. In no event will Chiesi, Amryt or any of their respective subsidiaries be required to effect any such requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement or order that is not conditioned upon the completion of the Transaction.
Chiesi is solely responsible for determining the clearance strategy for required consents under applicable antitrust laws and foreign investment laws, so long as Chiesi exercises such right in good faith consistent with its obligations under the transaction agreement and promptly consults with Amryt and considers in good faith Amryt’s views and comments in connection therewith.
Efforts to Implement the Scheme of Arrangement
In order to implement the Scheme of Arrangement, Amryt has agreed to, among other matters:
cooperate with Chiesi in the preparation of this scheme circular;
cooperate with Chiesi in the preparation of any documents to be submitted to the Court in connection with the Scheme of Arrangement; and
make all necessary applications to the Court in connection with the implementation of the Scheme of Arrangement as promptly as reasonably practicable.
Amryt will also otherwise generally use reasonable best efforts to cooperate fully and in good faith with Chiesi, its subsidiaries and their respective representatives in preparing the documentation for the Court Meeting, General Meeting and Court hearings, convening and holding the Court Meeting and General Meeting and obtaining the sanction of the Court, and Chiesi is subject to a similar reciprocal obligation.
Amryt has agreed to hold the Court Meeting and General Meeting as soon as reasonably practicable after January 8, 2023 (and in any event no later than 50 days after the mailing of this scheme circular) and, unless the Amryt Board has effected an Amryt adverse recommendation change, to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain Amryt shareholder approval for the Scheme Proposal and the Scheme Implementation Proposal (the “required Amryt shareholder approvals”), including: (i) coordinating with the Depositary to facilitate the voting of the Depositary shares at the Court Meeting and General Meeting; (ii) conducting a proxy solicitation exercise and reasonably consulting with Chiesi in connection therewith (it being understood that Amryt will control the strategy therefor); and (iii) keeping Chiesi informed on a regular basis as requested by Chiesi of its solicitation efforts.
Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, and except as required by applicable law or the Court, Amryt may, without the consent of Chiesi, adjourn or postpone the Court Meeting and/or the General Meeting:
in the case of adjournment, if requested by the Amryt shareholders (on a poll) to do so, so long as that the adjournment resolution was not proposed, procured or instigated by or on behalf of Amryt or any of its representatives acting on Amryt’s behalf or at Amryt’s direction;
if necessary to ensure that any required or, if determined by the Amryt Board acting reasonably and in good faith after consulting with outside counsel and having first consulted with Chiesi, advisable supplement or amendment to this scheme circular is provided to the Amryt shareholders or to permit dissemination of information which is material to the Amryt shareholders voting at the Court Meeting and General Meeting, with such postponement or adjournment to extend for no longer than the period that the Amryt Board determines in good faith (after having consulted with outside counsel and Chiesi) is reasonably necessary or advisable for Amryt shareholders to evaluate such disclosure or information;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

if, as of the time for which the Court Meeting or the General Meeting is scheduled, there are insufficient Amryt Ordinary Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Court Meeting or the General Meeting, but only until a meeting can be held at which there are a sufficient number of Amryt Ordinary Shares represented to constitute a quorum; or
to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining the required Amryt shareholder approvals, but only until a meeting can be held at which there are sufficient number of votes of the Amryt shareholders to obtain the relevant approval.
No postponement or adjournment pursuant to the last two bullets above may be for a period of more than 10 business days on any single occasion or, on any occasion, to a date after the earlier of (x) 40 business days after the date on which the Court Meeting or the General Meeting was originally scheduled, as applicable, and (y) 10 business days before the end date.
No Solicitation; Change in Board Recommendation
Amryt has agreed that until the earlier of the Effective Time and the valid termination of the Transaction Agreement, it will not, and will cause its subsidiaries and its directors and officers not to, and will direct its external advisors not to, subject to certain exceptions, directly or indirectly:
i.
solicit, initiate, participate in, knowingly facilitate, knowingly assist or knowingly encourage any inquiries regarding, or the making or submission of, any acquisition proposal (as defined below);
ii.
(A) enter into, continue or participate in any discussions or negotiations in respect of any acquisition proposal or (B) furnish to any third party any information in connection with any acquisition proposal;
iii.
enter into or adopt any letter of intent, heads of terms, memorandum of understanding or similar document, agreement, commitment, or agreement in principle (whether written or oral, binding or nonbinding) with respect to an acquisition proposal other than an acceptable confidentiality agreement referred to below;
iv.
recommend or approve or publicly propose to recommend, adopt or approve any acquisition proposal;
v.
withdraw, or qualify, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Chiesi (or publicly propose to do any of the foregoing), the recommendation of the Amryt Board in favor of the approval of the Scheme Proposal at the Court Meeting and the Scheme Implementation Proposal at the General Meeting (the “Amryt Board recommendation”), or resolve or agree to take any such action, including requesting that the Court does not sanction the Scheme of Arrangement;
vi.
fail to include the Amryt Board recommendation in the scheme circular;
vii.
fail to publicly reaffirm the Amryt Board recommendation within 10 business days after Chiesi so requests in writing (provided that (x) Chiesi may only make such request once per acquisition proposal and once if no acquisition proposal has been publicly disclosed and (y) Amryt will not be required to do so to the extent it will contravene applicable law, including the fiduciary duties of the Amryt Board); or
viii.
resolve or agree to do any of the foregoing (any of the foregoing clauses (iv)-(vii) or clause (viii) (to the extent relating to clauses (iv)-(vii)), an “Amryt adverse recommendation change”);
except that Amryt or any of its representatives may, in response to an acquisition proposal or any inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer or request from a third party: (1) seek to clarify the terms and conditions of such acquisition proposal, inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer or request (including by requesting that an oral communication be made in writing); (2) inform such third party or its representative of the restrictions imposed; and (3) grant waivers, amendments or releases under any standstill restriction in effect on January 8, 2023 to the extent necessary to allow such third party to make a confidential acquisition proposal, in the case of this clause (3), if the Amryt Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

An “acquisition proposal” means any indication of interest, proposal or offer from any person or group, other than Chiesi or any of its subsidiaries, relating to any:
direct or indirect acquisition of assets of Amryt or any of its subsidiaries (including securities of subsidiaries) equal to more than 20% of the consolidated assets of Amryt and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or to which more than 20% of the revenues or earnings of Amryt and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, on a consolidated basis are attributable for the most recent fiscal year for which audited financial statements are then available;
direct or indirect acquisition of more than 20% of the outstanding voting or equity securities of Amryt, including Amryt ADSs (whether by voting power or number of shares);
takeover offer, tender offer or exchange offer that, if completed, would result in such person or group beneficially owning more than 20% or more of the outstanding voting or equity securities of Amryt, including Amryt ADSs (whether by voting power or number of shares); or
merger, consolidation, share exchange, scheme of arrangement, business combination, joint venture, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction or series of related transactions involving Amryt or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to which persons other than the shareholders of Amryt immediately preceding such transaction would hold more than 20% or more of the voting or equity securities in Amryt (including Amryt ADSs) or, as applicable, in such surviving, resulting or ultimate parent entity as a result of such transaction (in each case whether by voting power or number of shares).
The foregoing notwithstanding, if at any time prior to the receipt of the required Amryt shareholder approvals, the Amryt Board receives a bona fide written acquisition proposal made after January 8, 2023 that has not resulted from a willful breach of the obligations described in this section (the “non-solicitation covenant”), the Amryt Board may, if it determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such acquisition proposal is or would reasonably be expected to lead to a superior proposal (as defined below) and that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law:
engage in negotiations or discussions with such third party and its representatives and financing sources; and
furnish to such third party and its representatives and financing sources information relating to Amryt or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to an acceptable confidentiality agreement, a copy of which will be provided to Chiesi promptly after its execution, so long as all such information (to the extent it is material and non-public and has not been previously provided or made available to Chiesi) is provided or made available to Chiesi substantially concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to such third party.
A “superior proposal” means any bona fide, written acquisition proposal made after January 8, 2023, by any person or group other than Chiesi or any of its subsidiaries (with all references to “20%” in the definition of acquisition proposal being deemed to be references to “50%”) on terms that the Amryt Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, and taking into account all the terms and conditions of the acquisition proposal that the Amryt Board considers to be appropriate (including the identity of the person or group making the acquisition proposal and the expected timing and likelihood of consummation, conditions to consummation and availability of necessary financing (including, if a cash transaction (in whole or in part), the availability of such funds and the nature, terms and conditionality of any committed financing)), is more favorable from a financial point of view to Amryt’s shareholders than the Transaction, and is reasonably capable of being completed on the terms proposed.
The Transaction Agreement requires that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Amryt will notify Chiesi as promptly as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than 24 hours) after receipt by Amryt or its subsidiaries or to Amryt’s knowledge, any of its or their external advisors of any bona fide acquisition proposal, which notice will be provided in writing and will identify the material terms and conditions of any such acquisition proposal and the persons(s) making such proposal. Amryt will thereafter: (i) keep Chiesi reasonably informed, on a reasonably current
94

TABLE OF CONTENTS

basis, of any material developments or changes in the status and details of any such acquisition proposal; and (ii) as promptly as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than 24 hours after receipt) provide to Chiesi unredacted copies of any written materials relating to the financial terms or other material terms and conditions of such acquisition proposal.
At any time prior to the receipt of the required Amryt shareholder approvals, if the Amryt Board receives a bona fide written acquisition proposal made after January 8, 2023 that has not resulted from a willful breach of the non-solicitation covenant and the Amryt Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such acquisition proposal constitutes a superior proposal and that the failure to take such action in response to such superior proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law, the Amryt Board may, subject to compliance with its obligations under the non-solicitation covenant: (i) make an Amryt adverse recommendation change; or (ii) terminate the Transaction Agreement in order to enter into a definitive agreement providing for such superior proposal as described in the section entitled “Transaction Agreement—Termination of the Transaction Agreement” in this scheme circular, except that: (A) Amryt will first notify Chiesi in writing at least four business days before taking such action that Amryt intends to take such action, which notice will include an unredacted copy of such proposal relating thereto (and, to the extent not in writing, the material terms and conditions thereof and the identity of the person(s) making any such acquisition proposal); (B) Amryt and its representatives will negotiate in good faith with Chiesi and its representatives during such four business day notice period, if Chiesi affirmatively seeks to negotiate and make itself reasonably available to do so, to enable Chiesi to propose revisions to the terms of the Transaction Agreement; (C) upon the end of such notice period, the Amryt Board will have considered in good faith any revisions to the terms of the Transaction Agreement committed to in a binding written proposal by Chiesi, and will have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such superior proposal would nevertheless continue to constitute a superior proposal and that the failure to take such action in response to such superior proposal would continue to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law; and (D) in the event of any change, from time to time, to any of the material financial terms or any other material terms of such superior proposal, Amryt will, in each case, deliver to Chiesi an additional notice and a new notice period consistent with the foregoing will commence each time, except each such notice period will be two business days (instead of four business days).
Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions, at any time prior to the receipt of the required Amryt shareholder approvals, the Amryt Board may make an Amryt adverse recommendation change of the type described in the above clauses (v), (vi), (vii) or, if related to the foregoing, clause (viii) in response to an intervening event (as defined below) if the Amryt Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel that the failure to make such Amryt adverse recommendation change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law.
Prior to making an Amryt adverse recommendation change in response to an intervening event Amryt will:
first notify Chiesi in writing at least four business days before taking such action that Amryt intends to take such action, which notice will include a reasonably detailed description of such intervening event;
together with its representatives, negotiate in good faith with Chiesi and its representatives during such four business day period, if Chiesi wishes to negotiate and make itself reasonably available to do so, to enable Chiesi to propose revisions to the terms of the Transaction Agreement;
together with its representatives, provide to Chiesi and its representatives all applicable information with respect to such intervening event reasonably requested by Chiesi to permit it to propose revisions to the terms of the Transaction Agreement; and
at the end of the notice period, have the Amryt Board consider in good faith any such revisions to the terms of the Transaction Agreement committed to in a binding written proposal by Chiesi, and will have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such Amryt adverse recommendation change in response to such intervening event would continue to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law.
An “intervening event” means any event, change, effect, circumstance, fact, development or occurrence that: (a) is material to Amryt and its subsidiaries (taken as a whole) that was not known to or reasonably foreseeable by the Amryt Board as of or prior to January 8, 2023 (or if known, the magnitude or material consequences of which were not known by the Amryt Board as of January 8, 2023); (b) does not result from a breach of the Transaction Agreement
95

TABLE OF CONTENTS

by Amryt; (c) does not relate to clearance of the Transaction or the expiration or termination of any waiting period under antitrust laws; (d) does not relate to changes in the Amryt ADS price, in and of itself; (e) does not relate to the fact that, in and of itself, Amryt exceeds any internal or published projections, estimates or expectations of Amryt’s revenue, earnings or other financial performance or results of operations for any period (provided, the underlying cause of clause (d) or (e) may constitute an intervening event to the extent not otherwise excluded by this definition); (f) does not relate to: (1) the results of, or any data derived from, any pre-clinical or clinical testing being conducted by or on behalf of Amryt or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective collaboration partners or any announcement relating thereto; (2) any action or announcement by any governmental authority that relates to any of the assets or programs of Amryt or its subsidiaries; or (3) any other regulatory, preclinical, clinical or manufacturing events, occurrences, circumstances, changes, effects or developments relating to any Amryt product or product candidate; and (g) does not relate to or involve any acquisition proposal or any inquiry or communications relating thereto.
Amryt Convertible Notes; Payoff Letters
At and prior to the Effective Time, Amryt will, and will cause its subsidiaries to, comply in a timely manner with all of the provisions of that certain indenture relating to Amryt’s outstanding convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “indenture”) applicable to each of them as a result of the Transaction, subject to certain limitations. Chiesi and Amryt each further agreed not to take certain specified actions that could potentially interfere with the ability of holders of such senior notes to receive the Transaction Consideration following conversion. The holders of such senior notes are third party beneficiaries of such provisions under the transaction agreement.
Amryt will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Chiesi customary payoff letters and lien termination documentation in respect of the Amryt credit agreement in connection with the closing (it being understood that payoff letter and lien termination documentation may be subject to customary conditions and timing to effectiveness).
Financing Assistance
Prior to the closing, subject to applicable law, Amryt has agreed to (and to cause its subsidiaries to, and use reasonable efforts to cause its and their respective representatives to) use reasonable best efforts to provide such cooperation as may be reasonably requested by Chiesi, to assist Chiesi in arranging, obtaining or syndicating the debt financing (if any) of Chiesi or any wholly owned subsidiary of Chiesi, the proceeds of which are intended to consummate the Transaction (the “debt financing”), except that neither Amryt nor any of its subsidiaries or their respective representatives will be required to: (i) take any actions that are not customary for the acquired company to take in connection with financings of the type contemplated by Chiesi or otherwise reasonably requested by any financing party; (ii) prepare or provide any financial statements or other financial information other than financial statements or other financial information that are filed or required to be filed with the SEC (before giving effect to any grace periods, exemptive orders or other similar relief that would change the applicable due date) or to the extent such financial information is readily available to Amryt; (iii) provide any guarantees or grant any security interests on any of their equity interests or assets prior to the Effective Time; (iv) take any action that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a breach of any representation and warranty or covenant in the Transaction Agreement or failure of any closing condition to be satisfied; (v) incur any expense or liability that is not promptly reimbursed by Chiesi upon written demand by Amryt; and (vi) adopt resolutions or consents, or deliver any opinion of legal counsel, relating to the debt financing prior to the Effective Time. Chiesi has agreed to indemnify Amryt, its subsidiaries and their respective representatives for liabilities incurred in connection with such cooperation.
The receipt and availability of any funds or financing is not a condition to the closing nor is it a condition to the closing for Chiesi to obtain all or any portion of the debt financing or any other financing.
Indemnification
Chiesi has agreed, to the extent permitted under applicable law, that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time existing as of January 8, 2023, in favor of the current or former directors or officers of Amryt and its subsidiaries as provided for in their respective articles of association, organizational documents or in any agreement or deed of indemnity will survive the Transaction and continue in accordance with their terms and Chiesi further agreed, for a period of six years after the Effective Time, to cause Amryt and its subsidiaries to maintain in effect, and not amend, repeal or otherwise modify in an adverse manner, any exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of the
96

TABLE OF CONTENTS

organizational documents of Amryt and its subsidiaries in effect as at January 8, 2023 or in any indemnification agreements of Amryt or its subsidiaries with any of their respective current or former directors or officers in effect as of January 8, 2023.
Chiesi has agreed to indemnify each current or former director or officer of Amryt or any of its subsidiaries or each person who has served as a manager, director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another entity if such service was at the request or for the benefit of Amryt or any of its subsidiaries, in each case, to the extent permitted by law, against any losses in connection with any actual or threatened proceeding, arising out of, relating to or in connection with any action or omission by them in their capacities as such occurring or alleged to have occurred at or before the Effective Time.
Amryt will, prior to the Effective Time, purchase a six-year prepaid “tail policy” providing insurance coverage, benefits and terms no less favorable to the indemnified parties than the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance with respect to acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred prior to the Effective Time, except that in no event will the cost of such policy exceed 300% of the last annual premium paid by Amryt prior to January 8, 2023 in respect of its directors and officers insurance policy (the “maximum amount”) and if the quoted premium for the “tail policy” exceeds the maximum amount, Amryt will be required to purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for the maximum amount.
These provisions will survive any merger, consolidation, asset transfer or dissolution of or involving Chiesi, Amryt or their respective successors or assigns.
Employee Benefits Matters
From the closing date of the Transaction through the 12 month anniversary of the closing date (the “benefits continuation period”), Chiesi will provide, or will cause a subsidiary of Chiesi or Amryt to provide, to each individual who is employed by Amryt and its subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time, while such individual continues to be employed by Amryt, Chiesi or any of Chiesi’s subsidiaries (including subsidiaries of Amryt) during the benefits continuation period (collectively, the “affected employees”): (i) an annual base salary or wage rate that is not less than the annual base salary or wage rate provided to such affected employee immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (ii) short-term and long-term incentive compensation opportunities (including the value of equity or equity-based incentives, which value may be provided in the form of non-equity based incentives, but excluding any change in control, retention, sale bonus or other special or non-recurring plans, programs and arrangements) and other employee benefits (excluding any equity or equity-based compensation, change in control, retention, sale bonus or any special or non-recurring plans, programs and arrangements and any retiree or post-termination health or welfare benefits or defined benefit pension benefits) that are, in each case, substantially comparable in the aggregate to such incentive compensation opportunities and such employee benefits that were provided to such affected employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, which obligation may be satisfied with respect to any particular compensation or benefit through the maintenance of the Amryt employee benefit plan that provides such compensation or benefits (e.g., commission plans). During the benefits continuation period, Chiesi will, or will cause its subsidiaries or Amryt to, provide severance benefits to any affected employee that are no less favorable than the severance benefits provided to similarly-situated employees of Chiesi or its subsidiaries.
In addition, Chiesi will, or will cause a subsidiary of Chiesi or Amryt to, pay, in accordance with the terms of any Amryt employee benefits plan or the relevant contract of employment, to each affected employee who participates in an annual incentive plan or similar incentive plan in respect of fiscal year in which the closing occurs a cash bonus in respect of such fiscal year based on actual performance, prorated based on the number of calendar days elapsed during such fiscal year through the closing date, payable at the time such bonus would otherwise have been paid (or, if earlier, upon such service provider’s termination from service). Notwithstanding the above, none of Chiesi, any of Chiesi’s subsidiaries or Amryt, will be obligated to continue to employ any Amryt employee, who is employed by Amryt and its subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time, for any period of time following the Effective Time.
Additional Agreements
The Transaction Agreement contains certain other additional agreements between Amryt and Chiesi relating to, among other things:
access by Chiesi and its representatives to certain information about Amryt during the period prior to the Effective Time or the termination of the Transaction Agreement;

if the Court declines or refuses to sanction the Scheme of Arrangement, except, that if an appeal has been submitted by Amryt in respect of any such decline or refusal, this right to terminate the Transaction Agreement may not be exercised until such appeal has been denied in a final determination;
by Chiesi if:
an Amryt adverse recommendation change has occurred;
a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Amryt has occurred that would cause the conditions to the obligations of Chiesi to complete the Transaction not to be satisfied, and such breach or failure to perform (A) is incapable of being cured by the end date or (B) has not been cured by Amryt within the earlier of (i) 30 days following written notice from Chiesi and (ii) the end date, except that the Transaction Agreement may not be terminated pursuant to this termination right if Chiesi is then in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements, which breach by Chiesi would cause any condition to the obligations of Amryt to complete the Transaction not to be satisfied (such termination, an “Amryt material breach termination”); or
by Amryt:
if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Chiesi has occurred that would cause conditions to the obligations of Amryt to complete the Transaction not to be satisfied, and such breach or failure to perform (A) is incapable of being cured by the end date or (B) has not been cured by Chiesi within the earlier of (i) 30 days following written notice from Amryt of such breach or failure to perform and (ii) the end date, except that the Transaction Agreement may not be terminated pursuant to this termination right if Amryt is then in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements, which breach by Amryt would cause any condition to the obligations of Chiesi to complete the Transaction not to be satisfied (such termination, a “Chiesi material breach termination”); or

TABLE OF CONTENTS

prior to the receipt of the required Amryt shareholder approvals, if (A) the Amryt Board has authorized the termination of the Transaction Agreement in accordance in all material respects with the terms of the non-solicitation covenant in order to enter into a definitive agreement providing for a superior proposal; and (B) substantially concurrently with such termination, Amryt enters into such definitive agreement, so long as, at or prior to, and as a condition to the effectiveness of, such termination, Amryt pays Chiesi the termination fee of $14 million (such termination, a “Superior Proposal Termination”).
Termination Fees and Expense Reimbursement
Except with respect to: (A) filing fees for required antitrust and foreign investment law clearances, which shall be borne 50% by Chiesi and 50% by Amryt; (B) the Amryt termination fee of $14 million to be paid by Amryt to Chiesi; (C) the Amryt expense reimbursement; and (D) the Chiesi expense reimbursement, each of the foregoing clauses (B) through (D) under certain circumstances described in this section or as otherwise provided in the Transaction Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction will be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense, except that all United Kingdom stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax that is payable in connection with the transfer of the Scheme Shares (and any other similar or equivalent transfer taxes or duties payable in any other jurisdiction pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement), including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Court Order and any instrument of transfer executed in connection with or pursuant to the Court Order (“transfer taxes”), will be paid by Chiesi, and Chiesi will, at its own expense, pay such transfer taxes and file all necessary documentation with respect to all such transfer taxes.
Amryt is required to pay, or cause to be paid, to Chiesi the termination fee of $14 million if:
the Transaction Agreement is terminated by Chiesi following an Amryt adverse recommendation change;
a Superior Proposal Termination occurs; or

The parties intend that any payment of any termination fee will not be treated (in whole or in part) as consideration for a supply for the purposes of VAT.
In the event that the Transaction Agreement is terminated by Chiesi pursuant to an Amryt material breach termination, then Amryt must pay (or cause to be paid) to Chiesi an amount equal to all of the reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Chiesi in connection with the Transaction Agreement and the Transaction (including in each case any VAT on such expenses, but only to the extent such VAT is not recoverable) (such amount, the “Amryt expense reimbursement”) up to a maximum amount of $10 million. Chiesi must send Amryt a written notice within two business days of such termination specifying the amount of the Amryt expense reimbursement calculated in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, including reasonable supporting detail therefor.

to Amryt the Chiesi expense reimbursement within two business days of Amryt duly delivering such notice in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. To the extent the Chiesi expense reimbursement is paid by Chiesi to Amryt, such amount will be deducted from the amount of any damages awarded to Amryt under the Transaction Agreement by any court of competent jurisdiction.
Withholding Taxes
Chiesi, any of Chiesi’s subsidiaries and any of their respective affiliates, the Paying Agent and any other person will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the payment or delivery of the Per Share Consideration or Per ADS Consideration, as applicable, such amounts, if any, of tax as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment or delivery under applicable law. Amryt and Chiesi will cooperate in good faith to implement payment arrangements in respect of the settlement of the Per Share Consideration and the Per ADS Consideration (including through the use of appropriate agents that will, to the extent legally permissible, minimize both the amount of, and the administrative burdens associated with, such deduction or withholding). To the extent that amounts of tax are so deducted and withheld, such deducted and withheld amounts: (i) will be remitted to the applicable taxing authority within the time limits imposed by applicable law; and (ii) will be treated for all purposes of the Transaction Agreement and the Scheme of Arrangement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
Amendments and Waivers
The Transaction Agreement may be amended or waived if such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to the Transaction Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective, except that after the required Amryt shareholder approvals have been obtained, there will be no amendment or waiver that would require the further approval of Amryt shareholders under applicable law without such approval having first been obtained. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sections of the Transaction Agreement pertaining to the rights of the holders of the convertible notes pursuant to the indenture (and the related definitions in the Transaction Agreement used therein) will not be amended or waived in any manner that adversely affects such rights without the prior written consent of the required aggregate principal amount of such convertible notes required to make such amendment or waiver under the terms of the indenture.
Governing Law
The Transaction Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules or principles that would result in the application of the law of any other state or jurisdiction, except that: (a) the Scheme of Arrangement; and (b) the interpretation of the duties of directors of Amryt will in each case be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of England and Wales.
Specific Enforcement
The parties to the Transaction Agreement agreed that irreparable harm would occur from any breach of the Transaction Agreement and, accordingly, the parties will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of the Transaction Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of the Transaction Agreement (this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under the Transaction Agreement or under applicable law), without proof of actual damages, and each party further agreed to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.

AGREEMENTS RELATED TO THE TRANSACTION
CVR Agreement
Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, at or prior to the closing, Chiesi and the rights agent will enter into a contingent value rights agreement, substantially in the form of which is attached to the Transaction Agreement, governing the terms of the CVRs issued pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement. Pursuant to the CVR Agreement, at the Effective Time, the holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares will have the right to receive, in exchange for each share, one Milestone 1 CVR (as defined below) and one Milestone 2 CVR (as defined below) and the holders of Amryt ADSs will have the right to receive, in exchange for each Amryt ADS, five Milestone 1 CVRs and five Milestone 2 CVRs.
The “Milestone 1 CVR” represents the non-transferable contractual contingent right to receive a cash payment of $0.20 if Milestone 1 (as defined below) is achieved, net of applicable withholding taxes and without interest. Milestone 1 means an approval issued by the FDA of Filsuvez prior to December 31, 2024, with any such approval to include a labelled indication related to wound healing in patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (or a broader indication) provided that such approval is not granted by the FDA under 21 C.F.R. §§ 314.510 of FDA’s regulations (i.e., accelerated approval). The “Milestone 2 CVR” represents the non-transferable contractual contingent right to receive a cash payment of $0.30 if Milestone 2 (as defined below) is achieved, net of applicable withholding taxes and without interest. Milestone 2 means the issuance by the FDA to Amryt of a priority review voucher (as defined in Section 529(a)(2) of the United States Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360ff(a)(2))) on or prior to December 31, 2024 (or, if Milestone 1 is achieved in December 2024, January 31, 2025). Chiesi has agreed to use “Diligent Efforts” (as defined in the CVR Agreement) to achieve the foregoing milestones.
Under the CVR Agreement, Diligent Efforts means, with respect to a task or action related to Filsuvez, the efforts required to carry out such task or action in a diligent and sustained manner without undue interruption, pause or delay, which level is at least commensurate with the level of efforts that Chiesi would devote to its own products of similar potential (including commercial potential, but excluding the obligation to pay the Milestone payments under this CVR Agreement). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, “Diligent Efforts” will include (a) with respect to Milestone 1, the obligation to pursue FDA approval that would result in the achievement of Milestone 1, including by reasonably promptly appealing (within the applicable timeframe permitted by the FDA) any failure of FDA to grant such approval and reasonably promptly pursuing additional pre-clinical studies in support thereof (except that in no event will Chiesi be required under this Agreement to (i) pursue more than two (2) additional pre-clinical studies or incur obligations or liabilities in excess of $2 million in the aggregate with respect to such studies or (ii) conduct an additional pre-approval clinical study in Filsuvez) and (b) with respect to Milestone 2, to apply for a Priority Review Voucher by no later than ten (10) business days after Milestone 1 is achieved, if applicable.
It is possible that the milestones described above will not be achieved on or prior to December 31, 2024 (or January 31, 2025, to the extent applicable), in which case holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs, as applicable, will receive only the Per Share Cash Consideration or Per ADS Cash Consideration, as applicable, and will receive no payments with respect to the CVRs. It is not possible to predict whether a payment will become payable with respect to the Milestone 1 CVRs and Milestone 2 CVRs.
The right to the payment described above is solely a contractual right governed by the terms and conditions of the CVR Agreement. The CVRs will not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument, will not have any voting or dividend rights and will not represent any equity or ownership interest in Chiesi or Amryt. The CVRs will not be registered or listed for trading. No interest will accrue or be payable in respect of any of the amounts that may be payable on the CVRs. Holders of the CVRs will have no greater rights against Chiesi than those accorded to general, unsecured creditors under applicable law. The CVRs will not be transferable except in certain circumstances, including: (i) upon death of a holder by will or intestacy or by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust in which the CVRs are to be passed to beneficiaries upon the death of the trustee; (ii) pursuant to a court order; (iii) by operation of law (including by consolidation, scheme or arrangement or merger) or without consideration in connection with the dissolution, liquidation or termination of any corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity; (iv) if the holder is a partnership or limited liability company, a distribution by the transferring partnership or limited liability company to its partners or members, as applicable; or (v) to Chiesi or any of its affiliates in connection with the abandonment of such CVR by the applicable holder.
102

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Without the consent of any CVR holders, Chiesi may enter into amendments to the CVR Agreement in certain circumstances set forth in the CVR Agreement, unless such amendments are adverse to the interests of the CVR holders. The CVR Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, and any dispute, controversy or claim based upon, relating to or arising out of the CVR Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration conducted in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce.
The summary above of the CVR Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the CVR Agreement, a form of which is included as Annex C to this scheme circular. For a complete understanding of the CVR Agreement, holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares and Amryt ADSs are encouraged to read the full text of the CVR Agreement.
Voting Agreements
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreement, certain securityholders of Amryt holding securities representing approximately 26% of Amryt’s voting power in the aggregate (the “Amryt Securityholders”) entered the Voting Agreements with Chiesi.
Pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreements, the Amryt Securityholders agreed, among other things, to: (i) vote their beneficially owned voting securities of Amryt in favor of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, including any matter necessary for the consummation of the Transaction; and (ii) comply with certain restrictions on the disposition of such securities, in each case subject to the terms and conditions contained therein.
The Voting Agreements will terminate upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the Effective Time; (ii) the termination of the Transaction Agreement (as described under the section entitled “The Transaction Agreement—Termination of the Transaction Agreement” in this scheme circular); (iii) as to the Amryt Securityholder that is party to each Voting Agreement, any amendment to the Transaction Agreement that (a) decreases the amount, or changes the form, of consideration (including changing any of the terms of the CVRs payable under the Transaction Agreement) or (b) changes the treatment of certain convertible securities of Amryt under the Transaction Agreement; and (iv) as to the Amryt Securityholder, the written agreement of Chiesi and such securityholder.
The summary above of the Voting Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting Agreements, a form of which is included as Annex D to this scheme circular. For a complete understanding of the Voting Agreements, holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares and Amryt ADSs are encouraged to read the full text of the Voting Agreements.

The creation of an appropriate assured payment obligation as set out in paragraph 6.4.2 shall be a complete discharge of Purchaser’s obligations under this Scheme with reference to cash payments through CREST.

9.1.2.1
such holders of Scheme Shares shall not have any entitlements to CVR Consideration under the Scheme; and
9.1.2.2

TABLE OF CONTENTS

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth information relating to the beneficial ownership of Amryt ordinary shares as of January 31, 2023, by:
each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by Amryt to beneficially own 5% or more of the outstanding Amryt ordinary shares;
each member of the Amryt Board and each of Amryt’s executive officers; and
all Board members and executive officers as a group.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to those securities as well as any ordinary shares that the individual has the right to acquire within 60 days of January 31, 2023, through the exercise of any option, warrant or other right. The percentage ownership information shown in the table below is based upon 319,158,867 ordinary shares, which are outstanding as of January 31, 2023.
Except as otherwise indicated, all of the shares reflected in the table are Amryt ordinary shares and all persons listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the Amryt ordinary shares beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws. The information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose.
In computing the number of Amryt ordinary shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, Amryt deemed outstanding ordinary shares subject to options and warrants held by that person that are immediately exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of January 31, 2023. Amryt did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRANSACTION
The following discussion summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the receipt of cash and CVRs in exchange for Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs pursuant to the Transaction. It is not intended to be a complete analysis or description of all potential U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Transaction. This discussion is based upon the provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and judicial and administrative rulings, all as in effect as of the date of this scheme circular and all of which are subject to change or varying interpretation, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such changes could affect the accuracy of the statements and conclusions with respect to the tax consequences set forth below. No ruling has been or will be obtained from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) with respect to any of the U.S. federal income tax considerations discussed below, and no assurance can be given that the IRS will not take a position contrary to the discussion below, or that a court will not sustain any challenge by the IRS in the event of litigation.
This discussion assumes that holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs hold their shares or Amryt ADSs as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs in light of such holder’s particular circumstances, nor does it discuss the special considerations applicable to holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, such as financial institutions or broker-dealers, mutual funds, S corporations, partnerships or other pass-through entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and their partners, members or owners, tax-exempt organizations, retirement or other tax-deferred accounts, insurance companies, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities who elect mark-to-market method of accounting, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, holders subject to the alternative minimum tax, holders who hold their Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale, conversion transaction or other integrated investment, U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, accrual method holders who prepare an “applicable financial statement” (as defined in Section 451(b) of the Code) and holders who own or have owned (directly, indirectly or constructively) 5% or more of the Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs (by vote or value). In addition, this discussion does not address any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction or U.S. federal non-income tax consequences (e.g., the federal estate or gift tax or the application of the Medicare tax on net investment income under Section 1411 of the Code) nor does it address any considerations with respect to the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of 2010 (including the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and any intergovernmental agreements entered into in connection therewith and any laws, regulations or practices adopted in connection with any such agreement).
If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs, you should consult your own tax advisor.
All holders should consult their own tax advisor to determine the particular tax consequences to them (including the application and effect of any state, local or non-U.S. income and other tax laws) of the receipt of cash and CVRs in exchange for Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs pursuant to the Transaction.
For purposes of this discussion, the term “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
a corporation (including any entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
a trust if (1) its administration is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons, within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes; or
an estate, the income of which is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source.
117

TABLE OF CONTENTS

A “non-U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner (other than a partnership or an entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs that is not a U.S. holder.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders
The receipt of cash and CVRs in exchange for Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs pursuant to the Transaction will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The amount of gain or loss a U.S. holder recognizes, and the timing and potentially the character of a portion of such gain or loss, depends on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the CVRs and payments (if any) with respect to the CVRs, with respect to which there is significant uncertainty. The installment method of reporting any gain attributable to the receipt of a CVR generally will not be available with respect to the disposition of Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs pursuant to the Transaction because the Amryt ADSs are traded on an established securities market.
There is no legal authority directly addressing the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the receipt of the CVRs in connection with the Transaction. The receipt of the CVRs as part of the consideration in the Transaction might be treated as a “closed transaction” or an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, each as discussed below.
Pursuant to U.S. Treasury Regulations dealing with contingent payment obligations analogous to the CVRs, if the fair market value of the CVRs is “reasonably ascertainable,” a U.S. holder should treat the transaction as a “closed transaction” and treat the fair market value of the CVRs as part of the consideration received in the Transaction for purposes of determining gain or loss. On the other hand, if the fair market value of the CVRs cannot be reasonably ascertained, a U.S. holder should treat the transaction as an “open transaction” for purposes of determining gain or loss. These Treasury Regulations state that only in “rare and extraordinary” cases would the value of contingent payment obligations not be reasonably ascertainable. The following sections discuss the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the receipt of cash and CVRs in exchange for Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs in the event it is treated as a closed transaction and, alternatively, in the event it is treated as an open transaction. There is no authority directly addressing whether contingent payment rights with characteristics similar to the rights under a CVR should be treated as “closed transactions” or “open transactions,” and such question is inherently factual in nature. Accordingly, U.S. holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding this issue. The CVRs also may be treated as debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, as such treatment is unlikely, the discussion below does not address the tax consequences of such a characterization. We urge you to consult your own tax advisor with respect to the proper characterization of the receipt of a CVR.
Treatment as Closed Transaction
If the receipt of the CVRs is treated as, or determined to be, part of a closed transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then a U.S. holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs generally would recognize capital gain or loss, if any, for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (i) such U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs, as applicable, surrendered in the Transaction, and (ii) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value (determined as of the closing date) of the CVRs received in the Transaction. The proper method to determine the fair market value of a CVR is not clear, but it is possible that the trading value of Amryt’s ordinary shares or Amryt’s ADSs prior to the closing date would be considered along with other factors in determining whether the value of the CVR is reasonably ascertainable.
Subject to the discussions below concerning the “passive foreign investment company” rules, such gain or loss generally will be a capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for such Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs exceeds one year as of the date of the Transaction. Under current law, long-term capital gains of certain non-corporate U.S. holders, including individuals, generally are eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. federal income taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. If a U.S. holder acquired different blocks of Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs at different times or prices, such U.S. holder must determine its tax basis, holding period, and gain or loss separately with respect to each block of Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs.
A U.S. holder’s initial tax basis in a CVR received in the Transaction would equal the fair market value of such CVR as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The holding period for a CVR would begin on the day following the date of the closing of the Transaction. There is no authority directly addressing the U.S. federal income tax treatment of receiving payments on the CVRs and, therefore, the amount, timing and character of any income, gain or loss with respect to the CVRs would be uncertain. For example, payments with respect to the CVRs could
118

TABLE OF CONTENTS

be treated as payments with respect to a sale or exchange of a capital asset, which could result in long- or short-term capital gain or loss, or as giving rise to ordinary income. In addition, it is unclear how a U.S. holder of the CVRs would recover its adjusted tax basis with respect to payments thereon. It is also possible that, were a payment to be treated as being with respect to the sale or exchange of a capital asset, a portion of such payment would constitute imputed interest under Section 483 of the Code (as described below under “Treatment as Open Transaction”).
Except to the extent any portion of a payment on a CVR is required to be treated as imputed interest pursuant to applicable law, Amryt and Chiesi intend, for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, to treat payments with respect to the CVRs received with respect to Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs, as applicable, as additional consideration paid at the Effective Time for such Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs pursuant to the Transaction.
As discussed above, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the CVRs is uncertain. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the treatment of the CVRs, including the receipt of, payments with respect to, and the expiration of, the CVRs.
Treatment as Open Transaction
If the Transaction is treated as an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the fair market value of the CVRs would not be treated as additional consideration for the Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs, as applicable, at the time the CVRs are received in the Transaction, and the U.S. holder would have no tax basis in the CVRs. Instead, the U.S. holder would take payments under the CVRs into account when made or deemed made in accordance with the U.S. holder’s regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A portion of such payments would be treated as interest income under Section 483 of the Code (as discussed below) and the balance, in general, as additional consideration for the disposition of the Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs, as applicable. Payments of cash pursuant to the Transaction, plus the portion of payments on the CVRs not treated as imputed interest, as described below, generally would be applied first to reduce a U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs, as applicable. A U.S. holder then would recognize capital gain to the extent of any cash received pursuant to the Transaction or the portion of CVR payments not treated as imputed interest received after the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis has been reduced to zero. A U.S. holder would recognize loss to the extent of any remaining basis after the basis reduction described in the previous sentence, although it is possible that such U.S. holder may not be able to recognize such loss until the resolution of all contingencies under the CVRs or possibly until such U.S. holder’s abandonment of the CVRs.
Subject to the discussions below concerning the “passive foreign investment company” rules, such gain or loss generally will be a capital gain or loss and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for such Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs exceeds one year as of the date of the Transaction. Long-term capital gains of certain non-corporate U.S. holders, including individuals, are generally eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. federal income taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. If a U.S. holder acquired different blocks of Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs at different times or prices, such U.S. holder must determine its tax basis, holding period, and gain or loss separately with respect to each block of Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs.
The portion of any payment made with respect to a CVR treated as imputed interest under Section 483 of the Code will be determined at the time such payment is made and generally should equal the excess of (1) the amount of the CVR payment over (2) the present value of such amount as of the closing date, calculated using the applicable federal rate as the discount rate. The portion of the payment treated as imputed interest would be ordinary income to the U.S. holder of a CVR. The applicable federal rate is published monthly by the IRS. The relevant applicable federal rate will be the lower of the lowest applicable federal rate in effect during the three month period ending with the month that includes the date on which the Transaction Agreement was signed or the lowest applicable federal rate in effect during the three month period ending with the month that includes the date of the consummation of the Transaction. A U.S. holder must include in its taxable income interest imputed pursuant to Section 483 of the Code using such Holder’s regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
As discussed above, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the CVRs is uncertain. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the treatment of the CVRs, including the receipt of, payments with respect to, and the expiration of, the CVRs.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules
A non-U.S. corporation, such as Amryt, will be classified as a “passive foreign investment company” (a “PFIC”) for any taxable year if, after the application of certain “look-through” rules, (a) at least 75% of its gross income is “passive income” as that term is defined in the relevant provisions of the Code (e.g., dividends, interest, royalties, or gains on the disposition of certain minority interests), or (b) at least 50% of the average value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets) consists of assets that produce, or are held for the production of, “passive income”. Based on the composition of its income and assets, Amryt does not believe it was a PFIC for the taxable year ended December 31, 2022 and does not expect to be a PFIC for the portion of the current taxable year through the closing of the Transaction. If Amryt were classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. holder held Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs, such classification could result in adverse tax consequences to such U.S. holder, and different U.S. federal income tax consequences from those described above may apply to the receipt of cash and CVRs by such U.S. holder in exchange for Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs, as applicable. These consequences may include having gains realized on the receipt of cash and CVRs in exchange for Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs treated as ordinary income rather than capital gain and being subject to punitive interest charges on such gains. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential application of the PFIC rules to their disposition of Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs in connection with the Transaction.
Currency Elections
U.S. holders that make a Currency Election under the Currency Conversion Facility should consult their own tax advisors to determine the particular tax consequences to them of the receipt of a currency other than U.S. dollars pursuant to such Currency Election.
Any fees arising as a result of a U.S. holder making a Currency Election under the Currency Conversion Facility, must be borne by such U.S. holder.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders
Subject to the discussion below under “—Information Reporting and Backup Withholding,” any gain recognized on the receipt of cash and CVRs pursuant to the Transaction by a non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless:
the income or gain is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of such non-U.S. holder (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is also attributable to a permanent establishment or, in the case of an individual, a fixed base in the United States maintained by such non-U.S. holder), in which case the non-U.S. holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such income or gain in the same manner as a U.S. holder (as described above under “ – Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders”) and, if the non-U.S. holder is a non-U.S. corporation, such corporation also may be subject to branch profits tax at the rate of 30% on the effectively connected gain (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty); or
the non-U.S. holder is a nonresident alien individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the Transaction and certain other conditions are met, in which case the non-U.S. holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or a lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on any such U.S. source gain (other than gain effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business), which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses.
As discussed above, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the CVRs is uncertain. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the treatment of the CVRs, including the receipt of, payments with respect to, and the expiration of, the CVRs.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Under certain circumstances, holders may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding (currently at a rate of 24%) with respect to the cash and CVRs (including payments with respect thereto) received pursuant to the Transaction, in each case unless such holder properly establishes an exemption (including, for a non-U.S. holder, by establishing its status as a non-U.S. holder, generally by providing a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable) or provides its correct taxpayer identification number and otherwise complies with the
120

TABLE OF CONTENTS

applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules (including, for a U.S. holder, generally by providing a properly completed IRS Form W-9). Certain shareholders (including corporations) generally are not subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules generally will be allowed as a refund or credit against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any; provided that such U.S. holder furnishes the required information to the IRS in a timely manner.
Depending on whether a U.S. holder reports the Transaction as a closed transaction or an open transaction, tax information provided to a U.S. holder and the IRS on IRS Form 1099-B for the year of the Transaction may not reflect the amount such U.S. holder realized in the year of the Transaction, and any Form 1099-B a U.S. holder receives with respect to payments on the CVRs also may not be consistent with the U.S. holder’s method of reporting of the Transaction. As a result, U.S. holders should not necessarily rely on the amounts reported to them on IRS Forms 1099-B with respect to the Transaction.
Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the information reporting and backup withholding requirements and how to accurately report their income, gain or loss in connection with their receipt of cash and CVRs (including payments with respect thereto) pursuant to the Transaction.
THE FOREGOING SUMMARY DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPLETE DISCUSSION OF THE POTENTIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRANSACTION OR THE RECEIPT OF, OR PAYMENTS MADE PURSUANT TO, THE CVRs. EACH HOLDER SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. INCOME, ESTATE AND OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION IN LIGHT OF ITS PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES. NOTHING IN THIS SUMMARY IS INTENDED TO BE, OR SHOULD BE CONSTRUED AS, TAX ADVICE.

MATERIAL UNITED KINGDOM TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRANSACTION
The following discussion is a summary of certain limited aspects of the UK taxation treatment of certain Amryt Shareholders in respect of the Transaction. It does not constitute legal or tax advice and does not purport to be a complete analysis of all tax considerations relating to the Transaction. The discussion is based on current UK tax legislation, and what is understood to be current HM Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”) practice (which may not be binding on HMRC), in each case as at the date of this scheme circular, both of which are subject to change, possibly with retrospective effect. It assumes that under the laws of the State of New York the holder of an Amryt ADS is the beneficial owner of the underlying Amryt Ordinary Shares, and will be the beneficial owner of CVRs delivered as part of the consideration for such underlying Amryt Ordinary Shares.
The discussion is intended as a general guide and, in particular, does not deal with certain types of Amryt Shareholders such as financial institutions, pension schemes, charities, tax-exempt organisations, trustees, intermediaries, market makers, brokers, dealers in securities, persons who have or could be treated for tax purposes as having acquired their Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs by reason of their office, employment or as carried interest, collective investment schemes, persons who hold investments in any HMRC-approved arrangements or schemes, persons connected to Amryt or Chiesi, persons subject to UK tax on the remittance basis and insurance companies.
Special tax provisions not covered by this discussion may in particular apply to Amryt Shareholders who have acquired or who acquire their Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs pursuant to the exercise of options or other awards under any Amryt Employee Plan.
References below to “UK Shareholders” are to Amryt Shareholders who (a) are resident for tax purposes in, and only in, the United Kingdom, and, in the case of individuals, to whom “split year” treatment does not apply and who are domiciled or deemed domiciled for tax purposes only in the United Kingdom; (b) hold their Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs as an investment (other than under a self-invested personal pension plan or individual savings account); and (c) are the absolute beneficial owners of their Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs.
References below to “non-UK Shareholders” are to Amryt Shareholders who are not domiciled or deemed domiciled, or resident for tax purposes, in the United Kingdom (and have not within the past five years been resident for tax purposes in the United Kingdom).
IF YOU ARE IN ANY DOUBT ABOUT YOUR TAX POSITION OR YOU ARE SUBJECT TO TAXATION IN ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE UNITED KINGDOM, YOU SHOULD CONSULT AN APPROPRIATELY QUALIFIED INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL ADVISER IMMEDIATELY.
UK Taxation of Disposals—UK Shareholders
A UK Shareholder whose Amryt Ordinary Shares are transferred pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement will be disposing of them for the purposes of UK capital gains tax (“UK CGT”) or corporation tax on chargeable gains (as applicable). It is expected that this treatment will apply equally to a UK Shareholder that holds Amryt ADSs, and whose underlying Amryt Ordinary Shares are transferred by the Depositary (or its custodian) pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement (and in this discussion, reference to a disposal of Amryt ADSs includes such a scenario).
A disposal of Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs by a UK Shareholder may, depending on the UK Shareholder’s circumstances and subject to any available allowances, exemptions, reliefs and allowable losses (such as the annual exempt amount for individuals), give rise to a chargeable gain (or an allowable loss) for the purposes of UK taxation on chargeable gains.
In computing the amount of the chargeable gain (or allowable loss) arising on the disposal of their Amryt Ordinary Shares or their Amryt ADSs, and subject to as further provided below under “Potential adjustments in respect of CVRs”, it is expected that UK Shareholders should be required to bring into account the maximum amount of the Per Share CVR Consideration or Per ADS CVR Consideration attributable to their Amryt Ordinary Shares or their Amryt ADSs (as applicable).
Individuals
Subject to available reliefs, allowances or deductions, chargeable gains arising on a disposal of Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs by an individual UK Shareholder will be subject to UK CGT at the rate of 10% or 20% depending on the individual’s personal circumstances, including other taxable income and gains in the relevant tax
122

TABLE OF CONTENTS

year. Any chargeable gain (or allowable loss) will generally be calculated by reference to the sterling equivalent of the aggregate of: (a) the U.S. dollar Per Share Cash Consideration or Per ADS Cash Consideration; and (b) the maximum amount of Per Share CVR Consideration or Per ADS CVR Consideration that may be payable to the UK Shareholder in U.S. dollars, in each of cases (a) and (b), computed at an applicable exchange rate on the Closing date.
The UK CGT annual exempt amount (of £12,300 for the tax year 2022/23, falling to £6,000 for the tax year 2023/24) may be available to individual UK Shareholders to offset against chargeable gains realized on the disposal of their Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs.
Corporates
Subject to available exemptions (including the substantial shareholding exemption), reliefs, allowances and allowable losses, chargeable gains arising on a disposal of Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs by a UK Shareholder within the charge to UK corporation tax will be subject to UK corporation tax (at a rate of 19% for the tax year 2022/23, rising to a main rate of 25% for the tax year 2023/24). Any chargeable gain (or allowable loss) will be generally calculated by reference to the sterling equivalent of the aggregate of: (a) the U.S. dollar Per Share Cash Consideration or Per ADS Cash Consideration; and (b) the maximum amount of Per Share CVR Consideration or Per ADS CVR Consideration that may be payable to the UK Shareholder in U.S. dollars, in each of cases (a) and (b), computed at an applicable exchange rate on the Closing date. UK Shareholders within the charge to UK corporation tax whose relevant currency for the purposes of section 9C of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 at the Closing date is not sterling may need to apply other rules of conversion and computation.
Potential adjustments in respect of CVRs
As stated above under “UK Taxation of Disposals—UK Shareholders”, it is expected that, in computing the amount of the chargeable gain (or allowable loss) arising on the disposal of their Amryt Ordinary Shares or their Amryt ADSs, UK Shareholders should be required to bring into account the maximum amount of the Per Share CVR Consideration or Per ADS CVR Consideration attributable to their Amryt Ordinary Shares or their Amryt ADSs (as applicable). For the purposes of this computation, it is expected that no discount may be made for the delay in receiving any Per Share CVR Consideration or Per ADS CVR Consideration, or for the right to receive any Per Share CVR Consideration or Per ADS CVR Consideration being contingent.
In the event that a UK Shareholder ultimately receives a cash payment upon satisfaction of a CVR milestone, no further UK CGT or UK corporation tax is expected to be payable at such time. Conversely, in the event that no (or less than the maximum) amount is payable in respect of the CVRs, a UK Shareholder may be entitled to claim an adjustment (and, where appropriate, a repayment of tax already paid) under section 48 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992.
UK Taxation of Disposals—Non-UK Shareholders
An individual non-UK Shareholder that does not conduct any trade, profession or vocation in the UK to which the shares or ADSs are attributable should not be liable to UK CGT on capital gains realized on the disposal of their Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs pursuant to the Transaction.
A company which is a non-UK Shareholder should not be liable for UK corporation tax on chargeable gains realized on the disposal of its Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs pursuant to the Transaction unless it carries on a trade in the UK through a permanent establishment to which the shares or ADSs are attributable.
Stamp Duty and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (“SDRT”)
Any stamp duty and SDRT payable in respect of the transfer of the Scheme Shares under the Scheme of Arrangement will not be payable by the Amryt Shareholders or by the holders of Amryt ADSs.

MATERIAL IRISH TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRANSACTION
The following discussion is a summary of certain limited aspects of the Irish taxation treatment of certain Amryt Shareholders in respect of the Transaction. It does not constitute legal or tax advice and does not purport to be a complete analysis of all tax considerations relating to the Transaction. The discussion is based on current Irish tax legislation, and what is understood to be the Irish Revenue Commissioners (“Revenue”) current practice (which may not be binding on Revenue), in each case as at the date of this scheme circular, both of which are subject to change, possibly with retrospective effect.

Irish Taxation of Disposals
An Irish Shareholder whose Amryt Ordinary Shares are transferred pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement will be disposing of them for the purposes of Irish capital gains tax (“Irish CGT”) or corporation tax on chargeable gains (as applicable). It is expected that this treatment will apply equally to an Irish Shareholder that holds Amryt ADSs, and whose underlying Amryt Ordinary Shares are transferred by the Depositary (or its custodian) pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement (and in this discussion, reference to a disposal of Amryt ADSs includes such a scenario).
A disposal of Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs by an Irish Shareholder may, depending on the Irish Shareholder’s circumstances and subject to any available allowances, exemptions, reliefs and allowable losses (such as the annual exempt amount for individuals), give rise to a chargeable gain (or an allowable loss) for the purposes of Irish taxation on capital gains.
In computing the amount of the chargeable gain (or allowable loss) arising on the disposal of their Amryt Ordinary Shares or their Amryt ADSs, and subject to as further provided below under “Potential adjustments in respect of CVRs”, it is expected that Irish Shareholders should be required to bring into account the maximum amount of the Per Share CVR Consideration or Per ADS CVR Consideration attributable to their Amryt Ordinary Shares or their Amryt ADSs (as applicable).
Individuals
Subject to available reliefs, allowances or deductions, chargeable gains arising on a disposal of Amryt Ordinary Shares or Amryt ADSs by an individual Irish Shareholder will be subject to Irish CGT at the rate of 33%. Any chargeable gain (or allowable loss) will generally be calculated by reference to the Euro equivalent of the aggregate of: (a) the US dollar Per Share Cash Consideration or Per ADS Cash Consideration; and (b) the maximum amount of Per Share CVR Consideration or Per ADS CVR Consideration that may be payable to the Irish Shareholder in US dollars, in each of cases (a) and (b), computed at an applicable exchange rate on the closing date.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

NOTES FOR MAKING CURRENCY ELECTIONS
This section should be read in conjunction with the rest of this document and the Form of Election (including the accompanying notes on how to complete the Form of Election).
In particular, details of the Currency Conversion Facility are set out in the section entitled “Scheme Proposal and the Court Meeting and the General Meeting—Explanatory Statement” in this scheme circular.
1. Elections by holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares in certificated form
Each holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares in certificated form as at the Scheme Record Time will receive the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration in U.S. dollars, except as may be validly elected otherwise pursuant to the Currency Conversion Facility. Registered holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares (other than the Depositary) are able to elect to have the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration paid in British pounds or Euros at the Average Market Exchange Rate obtained by the Paying Agent through one or more market transactions over one or more business days following the Scheme Record Time before the relevant payment date under the Currency Conversion Facility. The Currency Conversion Facility is not available to holders of Amryt ADSs.
If you hold Amryt Ordinary Shares in certificated form and wish to make a Currency Election, you must complete and sign the red form of Election in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it to the Receiving Agent, at Link Group, Corporate Actions, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds LS1 4DL, United Kingdom.
If you hold Amryt Ordinary Shares in both certificated and uncertificated form and you wish to make a Currency Election in respect of both such holdings, you must make a separate election in respect of each holding.
The red form of Election requires that a holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares in certificated form will make a Currency Election in respect of their entire holding of Amryt Ordinary Shares in certificated form at the Scheme Record Time.
If you wish to make a Currency Election under the Currency Conversion Facility, any fees arising with such Currency Election will be borne by you.
2. Elections by holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form (that is, in CREST)
If you are a CREST personal member, you should refer to your CREST sponsor before taking any action. Your CREST sponsor will be able to confirm details of your participant ID and the member account ID under which your Amryt Ordinary Shares are held. In addition, only your CREST sponsor will be able to send any TTE Instruction to Euroclear in relation to your Amryt Ordinary Shares.
a. Currency Elections
Each holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form (that is, in CREST) at the Scheme Record Time will receive the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration in U.S. dollars, except as may be validly elected otherwise pursuant to the Currency Conversion Facility. Registered holders of Amryt Ordinary Shares (other than the Depositary) may elect to have the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration paid in British pounds or Euros at the Average Market Exchange Rate obtained by the Paying Agent through one or more market transactions over one or more business days following the Scheme Record Time before the relevant payment date under the Currency Conversion Facility. The Currency Conversion Facility is not available to holders of Amryt ADSs.
If you hold Amryt Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form and wish to make a Currency Election, you must issue a TTE Instruction through CREST using the procedure described in section 2(b) below.
If you wish to make a Currency Election under the Currency Conversion Facility, any fees arising with such Currency Election will be borne by you.
Each holder of Amryt Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form that does not make a valid Currency Election must ensure that an active U.S. dollar Cash Memorandum Account is in place in CREST by no later than the Scheme Record Time. In the absence of a U.S. dollar Cash Memorandum Account, the payment of the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration will not settle, resulting in a delay and the settlement of the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration outside of CREST by check.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

b. TTE Instructions
British Pounds Currency Election
In order to make a British pounds Currency Election, CREST sponsors should send a TTE Instruction to Euroclear, which must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear’s specifications and which must contain, in addition to the other information that is required for a TTE Instruction to settle in CREST, the following details:
i.
the number of Amryt Ordinary Shares in respect of which the Currency Election is being made (such Amryt Ordinary Shares to be transferred to an escrow balance):
ii.
their member account ID;
iii.
their participant ID;
iv.
the participant ID of the escrow agent, Link Group, in its capacity as a CREST Receiving Agent. This is “RA10”;
v.
the member account ID(s) of the escrow agent, Link Group, in its capacity as a CREST Receiving Agent. This is 21980GBP;
vi.
the ISIN of the relevant Amryt Ordinary Shares (this is “GB00BKLTQ412”);
vii.
the intended settlement date (this should be as soon as possible and in any event by the Election Return Time);
viii.
the corporate action number for the transaction; this is allocated by Euroclear and can be found by viewing the relevant corporate action details on screen in CREST;
ix.
CREST standard delivery instructions priority of 80; and
x.
a contact name and telephone number (inserted in the shared note field of the TTE Instruction).
After making the TTE Instruction, the CREST sponsor will not be able to access the Amryt Ordinary Shares concerned in CREST for any transaction or for charging purposes. If the Scheme is implemented in accordance with its terms, the escrow agent will arrange for the cancellation of the Amryt Ordinary Shares.
Amryt shareholders who hold Amryt Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form are recommended to refer to the CREST Manual published by Euroclear for further information on the CREST procedure outlined above.
Amryt shareholders should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular corporate action. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in connection with a TTE Instruction and its settlement. Amryt shareholders should therefore ensure that all necessary action is taken by them (or by their CREST sponsor) to enable a TTE Instruction relating to their Amryt Ordinary Shares to settle before the Election Return Time. In doing so, Amryt shareholders are referred in particular to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.
TTE Instructions in relation to Currency Elections may only be made in relation to a specified number of Amryt Ordinary Shares. An Amryt shareholder may make a Currency Election in CREST in respect of all or part of their holding of Amryt Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form at the Scheme Record Time. If you hold Amryt Ordinary Shares in both certificated and uncertificated form and you wish to make a Currency Election in respect of both such holdings, you must make a separate election in respect of each holding.
Euro Currency Election
In order to make a Euro Currency Election, CREST sponsors should send a TTE Instruction to Euroclear, which must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear’s specifications and which must contain, in addition to the other information that is required for a TTE Instruction to settle in CREST, the following details:
i.
the number of Amryt Ordinary Shares in respect of which the Currency Election is being made (such Amryt Ordinary Shares to be transferred to an escrow balance):

the corporate action number for the transaction; this is allocated by Euroclear and can be found by viewing the relevant corporate action details on screen in CREST;
ix.
CREST standard delivery instructions priority of 80; and
x.
a contact name and telephone number (inserted in the shared note field of the TTE Instruction).
After making the TTE Instruction, the CREST sponsor will not be able to access the Amryt Ordinary Shares concerned in CREST for any transaction or for charging purposes. If the Scheme is implemented in accordance with its terms, the escrow agent will arrange for the cancellation of the Amryt Ordinary Shares.
Amryt shareholders who hold Amryt Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form are recommended to refer to the CREST Manual published by Euroclear for further information on the CREST procedure outlined above.
Amryt shareholders should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular corporate action. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in connection with a TTE Instruction and its settlement. Amryt shareholders should therefore ensure that all necessary action is taken by them (or by their CREST sponsor) to enable a TTE Instruction relating to their Amryt Ordinary Shares to settle before the Election Return Time. In doing so, Amryt shareholders are referred in particular to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.
TTE Instructions in relation to Currency Elections may only be made in relation to a specified number of Amryt Ordinary Shares. An Amryt shareholder may make a Currency Election in CREST in respect of all or part of their holding of Amryt Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form at the Scheme Record Time. If you hold Amryt Ordinary Shares in both certificated and uncertificated form and you wish to make a Currency Election in respect of both such holdings, you must make a separate election in respect of each holding.
3. Deadline for return of Form of Election and TTE Instructions
The latest time for Link Group to receive your Form of Election will be 1:00 pm on March 20, 2023 (or, in the case of an adjournment of the Court Meeting, 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48 hour period falling on a non-working day) before the time appointed for the adjourned meeting) (the “Election Return Time”). You should allow sufficient time for posting for your Form of Election to be received.
The latest time for receiving a TTE Instruction through CREST (applicable only for Amryt shareholders who hold their Amryt Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form and who wish to make an election under the Currency Conversion Facility) will be the Election Return Time.
4. Withdrawals
If you have returned a Form of Election and subsequently wish to withdraw or amend that Currency Election, please contact Link Group in writing at Corporate Actions, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds LS1 4DL, United Kingdom by the Election Return Time. Please clearly specify whether you would like to withdraw or amend the Currency Election that you have made and ensure that your request contains an original signature. Any written requests of this nature should be sent to Link Group. It is at Link Group’s absolute discretion to require the submission of a new Form of Election if an amendment is requested.

Each ESA Instruction must, in order for it to be valid and to settle, include the following details:
i.

ii.
your member account ID;
iii.

Any such withdrawal will be conditional upon Link Group verifying that the withdrawal request is validly made. Accordingly, Link Group will, on behalf of Amryt and Chiesi, reject or accept the withdrawal or amendment by transmitting in CREST a receiving agent reject (AEAD) or receiving agent accept (AEAN) message.
5. Late or incomplete Currency Elections
If any Form of Election or TTE Instruction is received after the Election Return Time, which is currently expected to be 1:00 p.m.(London time) on March 20, 2023 (or such later time (if any) to which the right to make a Currency Election may be extended), or such Form of Election or TTE Instruction is received before the relevant time and date but is not valid or complete in all respects at such time and date, such Currency Election or TTE Instruction (as applicable) shall for all purposes, subject to the following paragraph, be void (unless Amryt and Chiesi, in their absolute discretion, determine to treat as valid, in whole or in part, any such Currency Election or TTE Instruction (as applicable)).
6. General
No acknowledgements of receipt of any Form of Election, TTE Instruction or other documents will be given. All communications, notices, other documents and remittances to be delivered by or to or sent to or from Amryt shareholders (or their designated agent(s)) or as otherwise directed will be delivered by or to or sent to or from such Amryt shareholders (or their designated agent(s)) entirely at their own risk.
The Form of Election, TTE Instructions and all Currency Elections thereunder, and all action taken or made pursuant to any of these terms, shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales and shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the English courts.
Execution of a Form of Election and/or the submission of a TTE Instruction (as applicable) by, or on behalf of, an Amryt shareholder will constitute such Amryt shareholder’s agreement that the English courts are (subject to the paragraph below) to have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with the creation, validity, effect, interpretation or performance of the Form of Election and/or TTE Instruction (as applicable), and for such purposes that such Amryt shareholder irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the English courts.
Execution of a Form of Election and/or the submission of a TTE Instruction (as applicable) by, or on behalf of, an Amryt shareholder will constitute their agreement that the agreement in the paragraph above is included for the benefit of Amryt, Chiesi and their respective agents and accordingly, notwithstanding the agreement in the paragraph
129

TABLE OF CONTENTS

above, each of Amryt, Chiesi and their respective agents shall retain the right to, and may in its absolute discretion, bring proceedings in the courts of any other country which may have jurisdiction and that the relevant Amryt shareholder irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of any such country.
If the Transaction does not become effective, any Currency Election made shall cease to be valid.
Neither Amryt, Chiesi nor any of their respective advisers or any person acting on behalf of any one of them shall have any liability to any person for any loss or alleged loss arising from any decision as to the treatment of Currency Elections made under the Scheme of Arrangement on any of the bases set out in this section or otherwise in connection therewith.

WHEREAS, Company and Purchaser desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements specified herein in connection with this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Company and Purchaser agree as follows:
ARTICLE I

THE TRANSACTION
Section 1.1 The Transaction. At the Effective Time, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Scheme of Arrangement will become effective, pursuant to which Purchaser shall acquire the Scheme Shares. The Scheme Shares will be acquired fully paid, with full title guarantee, free from all Liens (other than transfer restrictions arising under applicable securities laws) and together with all rights at the Effective Time or thereafter attached or relating thereto, including voting rights and the right to receive and retain all dividends and other distributions (if any) and any other return of capital (whether by way of reduction of share capital or share premium account or otherwise) thereon.
Section 1.2 Closing. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing between Purchaser and Company, the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”) shall occur as promptly as practicable (and in any event within three Business Days) following the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions). The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to as the Closing Date”. To the extent that documents and signatures are required to be executed or provided at the Closing, such matters shall be dealt with by way of a virtual closing through electronic exchange of documents and signatures.
Section 1.3 Delivery of Court Order. On the Closing Date, in connection with the Closing, Company shall (i) deliver, or cause to be delivered, the order of the Court sanctioning the Scheme of Arrangement (such order, the Court Order”) to the Registrar of Companies in England and Wales and the Scheme of Arrangement shall become effective upon such delivery in accordance with its terms (the date and time of such delivery being the time that the Scheme of Arrangement shall become effective, herein referred to as the “Effective Time”) and (ii) deliver a copy of the Court Order to Purchaser together with appropriate evidence of the Effective Time.
ARTICLE II

TRANSFER OF SCHEME SHARES
Section 2.1 Transfer of Scheme Shares.
(a) At the Effective Time, the Scheme of Arrangement will become effective, pursuant to which Purchaser (and/or its nominee(s)) will acquire the Scheme Shares (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Depositary Shares) from the Scheme Shareholders in accordance with the provisions of the Scheme of Arrangement, and the Scheme Shareholders shall cease to have any rights with respect to the Scheme Shares, except their rights, in accordance with the terms of the Scheme of Arrangement, to receive, in exchange for each Scheme Share, the Per Share Consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that, although the holders of Company ADSs are not Scheme Shareholders by virtue of their holdings of Company ADSs, the Depositary Shares are Scheme Shares subject to the Scheme of Arrangement and accordingly, immediately following the Effective Time and as an indirect consequence of the Scheme of Arrangement, the holders of Company ADSs shall cease to have any rights with respect to the Company ADSs except for the right to receive (in the case of certificated Company ADSs, in exchange for surrendering each Company ADS to the Depositary (or the Depositary Custodian)) the Per ADS Consideration, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in the Scheme of Arrangement and in the Deposit Agreement. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, and subject to the stamping of the relevant instrument of transfer, the Register of Members of Company will be updated in accordance with the Scheme of Arrangement to reflect the transfer of the Scheme Shares, as contemplated hereby and thereby.
(b) Prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall appoint a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to Company (the “Paying Agent”) and enter into a paying agent agreement with the Paying Agent reasonably

TABLE OF CONTENTS

acceptable to Company. At or prior to the Effective Time, Purchaser shall procure the deposit with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the Scheme Shareholders, of cash in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Per Share Cash Consideration. All cash deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Company Payment Fund”. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue for the benefit of Scheme Shareholders on the Per Share Consideration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1(b), all obligations of Purchaser with respect to consideration required to be provided by Purchaser to the Paying Agent in respect of the Depositary Shares shall be satisfied to the extent Purchaser provides such consideration directly to the Depositary (or, to the extent that the Depositary is not itself the registered holder of the relevant Scheme Shares that underly the Company ADSs, whichever nominee, custodian or other entity is the Scheme Shareholder in respect of such Scheme Shares (the “Depositary Custodian”)) pursuant to the procedures contemplated by Section 2.1(c).
(c) Prior to the Closing, Company and Purchaser shall establish procedures with the Depositary that are reasonably acceptable to Company and Purchaser to ensure that (i) the Depositary (or the Depositary Custodian) shall promptly deliver the Per ADS Consideration to each holder of a Company ADS (in the case of certificated Company ADSs, that has duly surrendered Company ADSs to the Depositary (or the Depositary Custodian)), (ii) any funds unclaimed by holders of Company ADSs shall be treated, as closely as reasonably possible, in the same manner as provided under Section 2.1(d), and (iii) if reasonably practicable, the Per Share Consideration in respect of the Depositary Shares will be delivered directly by Purchaser to the Depositary (or the Depositary Custodian) rather than through the Paying Agent. If reasonably deemed necessary by the Parties in furtherance of the establishment of such procedures, Company shall enter into one or more amendments to the Deposit Agreement that are reasonably acceptable to the Depositary, Company and Purchaser, and the Parties shall deliver any certificates and opinions of counsel reasonably requested by the Depositary in connection therewith. Purchaser will bear the fees, charges and expenses that the Company ADS holders are required to bear under the Deposit Agreement in connection with the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the cancellation of the Company ADSs and the receipt of the Per ADS Consideration, but in no event will be required to bear more than $0.05 per Company ADS pursuant to this sentence. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable in respect of the Company ADSs.
(d) Any portion of the Company Payment Fund which has not been transferred to the holders of Scheme Shares within twelve months of the Closing Date shall be delivered to Purchaser or its designee(s) promptly upon demand by Purchaser (it being understood that no such delivery shall affect any legal right that a Scheme Shareholder may have to receive the Per Share Consideration), and thereafter such Scheme Shareholders shall be entitled to look only to Purchaser for, and Purchaser shall remain liable for, payment of their claims for the Per Share Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.
(e) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, none of Purchaser, any member of the Purchaser Group, Company, the Paying Agent, the Depositary (or the Depositary Custodian) or any other Person acting as agent for, or otherwise at the direction of, any of the foregoing Persons, including any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers or employees, will be liable to Company, Scheme Shareholders or any other Person in respect of the Per Share Consideration from the Company Payment Fund or any other cash or property delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Laws.
Section 2.2 Changes to Company Ordinary Shares. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding Company Ordinary Shares shall have been changed to, or exchanged for, a different number or class of shares or securities by reason of any share dividend, bonus issue, scrip dividend, subdivision, reorganization, merger, consolidation, reclassification, redesignation, recapitalization, share split, reverse share split, combination or exchange of shares, or a share or scrip dividend shall be declared with a record date within such period, or any similar event shall have occurred (or if the number of Company Ordinary Shares represented by each Company ADS shall have been changed pursuant to the Deposit Agreement), then the amount of the Per Share Consideration (and/or the Per ADS Consideration), as applicable, shall be appropriately adjusted to provide to Purchaser and the Scheme Shareholders the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided that nothing in this Section 2.2 shall be construed to permit Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by Section 6.1 or the other terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.3 Company Long Term Incentive Awards
(a) Each Company Share Option that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, whether vested or unvested, be deemed to be fully vested, and, other than the Irish Company Share Options, shall be automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive at the Effective Time (i) a lump sum amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (A) the excess, if any, of (1) the Per Share Cash Consideration (for any Company Share Option exercisable into Company Ordinary Shares) or the Per ADS Cash Consideration (for any Company Share Option exercisable into Company ADSs), as applicable, over (2) the exercise price of such Company Share Option (expressed on a per share or per Company ADS basis, as applicable), multiplied by (B) the total number of Company Ordinary Shares or Company ADSs, as applicable, subject to such Company Share Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) for each Company Ordinary Share or Company ADS, as applicable, underlying such Company Share Option, the Per Share CVR Consideration or Per ADS CVR Consideration, as applicable, in each case less any applicable withholding Taxes required by Applicable Law to be withheld; provided, that, if the per share exercise price of any such Company Share Option (other than the Specified Company Share Options) that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (expressed on a per share or per Company ADS basis, as applicable) is equal to or greater than the Per Share Cash Consideration or the Per ADS Cash Consideration, as applicable, such Company Share Option shall, whether vested or unvested, be automatically canceled without any payment being made in respect thereof.
(b) Prior to Closing, the Company shall cause each holder of an Irish Company Share Option to exercise, or shall deem that each such holder of an Irish Company Share Option will exercise, such Irish Company Share Option, effective as of immediately prior to the Scheme Record Time (as such term is defined in the Scheme of Arrangement), and in any case, conditional upon the sanction of the Court of the Scheme of Arrangement. The Company shall cause each such holder that elects or is deemed to exercise such Irish Company Share Options to (i) execute and deliver (or cause to be delivered, or be deemed to have delivered) to Company documents in relation to the exercise of such Irish Company Share Options (the “Option Exercise Documents”), (ii) acknowledge such holder’s obligation to pay to the Company the aggregate exercise price due on the exercise of such Irish Company Share Options prior to Closing and any applicable withholding Taxes required by Applicable Law (if any) and (iii) become a Scheme Shareholder for all purposes hereunder and under the Scheme of Arrangement. As a consequence thereof, each such holder shall sell the Scheme Shares received as a result of such exercise (and if any Irish Company Share Options are subject to Company ADSs, shall receive the corresponding number of Company Ordinary Shares at a conversion ratio of one ADS to five Company Ordinary Shares) to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and the Scheme of Arrangement. Each such holder shall irrevocably and unconditionally authorize and direct Purchaser to retain (or to instruct the Paying Agent to retain) for the benefit of the Company on such holder’s behalf acting as their agent, such amount from the Per Share Cash Consideration or the Per ADS Cash Consideration, as applicable, payable to such holder as is equal to (x) the aggregate exercise price of such Irish Company Share Options owing from them to the Company (unless such amount has already been remitted by such holder to, and has been received by, the Company) and (y) any amount equal to the any applicable withholding Taxes required by Applicable Law (if any) in connection with the exercise of such Irish Company Share Options and/or the issuance of the Scheme Shares in respect thereof, in satisfaction of their obligation to pay the aggregate exercise price and satisfy any such withholding Taxes. The retention of an amount equal to the aggregate exercise price and any applicable withholding Taxes (if any) for the benefit of the Company on such holder’s behalf pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) shall fully satisfy Purchaser’s obligation to pay such corresponding amount of the consideration to such holder. As soon as practicable following the Effective Time (but in no event later than five Business Days following the Effective Time), Purchaser shall or shall cause the Paying Agent to pay any net amount of Per Share Cash Consideration to the holders of the Irish Company Share Options pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement. Effective as of the Scheme Record Time (as such term is defined in the Scheme of Arrangement), any Irish Company Share Options not exercised prior to, or conditional on, the sanction of the Court of the Scheme of Arrangement shall lapse and cease to be exercisable in accordance with the rules of the relevant Company Equity Plan.
(c) Each Specified Company Share Option that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, whether vested or unvested, become fully vested, and shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive at the Effective Time, for each Specified Company Share Option, the Per ADS CVR Consideration subject to such Specified Company Share Option; it being acknowledged and agreed that the CVR Agreement shall provide that for any CVR issued in respect of a Specified Company Share Option, if the applicable milestone is achieved for such CVR, the payment in respect thereof shall be reduced by the Option Deficit Amount (as defined in the CVR Agreement).

(d) Each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, whether vested or unvested, become fully vested, and, other than the Irish Company RSUs, shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive at the Effective Time (i) a lump-sum amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (A) the Per Share Cash Consideration (for any Company RSU subject to Company Ordinary Shares) or the Per ADS Cash Consideration (for any Company RSU subject to Company ADSs) and (B) the number of Company Ordinary Shares or Company ADSs, as applicable, subject to such Company RSU and (ii) the Per Share CVR Consideration per Company Ordinary Share or the Per ADS CVR Consideration per Company ADS, as applicable, subject to such Company RSU, less any applicable withholding Taxes required by Applicable Law to be withheld. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any payment in respect of any Company RSU which immediately prior to such cancellation was treated as “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be converted as described above and paid on the applicable settlement date for such Company RSU as required in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code. Each Irish Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Scheme Record Time (as such term is defined in the Scheme of Arrangement) shall, conditional upon the sanction of the Court of the Scheme of Arrangement, whether vested or unvested, become fully vested, and the holder thereof shall receive the corresponding number of Company Ordinary Shares (and if any Irish Company RSUs are subject to Company ADSs, shall receive the corresponding number of Company Ordinary Shares at a conversion ratio of one Company ADS to five Company Ordinary Shares) subject to such Irish Company RSUs immediately prior to the Scheme Record Time (as such term is defined in the Scheme of Arrangement), which shall be Scheme Shares for all purposes hereunder and under the Scheme of Arrangement.
(e) Each Company PSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, whether vested or unvested, become vested (with the number of Company PSUs that so vest determined based on the terms of such Company PSU), and, other than the Irish Company PSUs, shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive (i) a lump-sum amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (A) the Per Share Cash Consideration and (B) the number of Company Ordinary Shares subject to such Company PSU and (ii) the Per Share CVR Consideration per Company Ordinary Share subject to such Company PSU, less any applicable withholding Taxes required by Applicable Law to be withheld; provided that, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), the number of Company Ordinary Shares subject to such Company PSU shall be determined based on the greater of target performance and actual performance as determined by the Company Board (or appropriate committee thereof) in its reasonable discretion as soon as practicable prior to the Closing Date based on the terms of such Company PSU. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any payment in respect of any Company PSU which immediately prior to such cancellation was treated as “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be converted as described above and paid on the applicable settlement date for such Company PSU as required in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code. Each Irish Company PSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Scheme Record Time (as such term is defined in the Scheme of Arrangement) shall, conditional upon the sanction of the Court to the Scheme of Arrangement, whether vested or unvested, become vested (with the number of Company PSUs that so vest determined based on the greater of target performance and actual performance as determined by the Company Board (or appropriate committee thereof) in its reasonable discretion as soon as practicable prior to the Closing Date based on the terms of such Company PSU), and the holder thereof shall receive the corresponding number of Company Ordinary Shares subject to the Irish Company PSUs, which shall be Scheme Shares for all purposes hereunder and under the Scheme of Arrangement.
(f) As soon as practicable following the Effective Time (but in no event later than five Business Days following the Effective Time), Purchaser shall, or shall cause Company or the applicable Subsidiary to, satisfy through its payroll systems (to the extent required by Applicable Law, or to the extent not required by Applicable Law (for the avoidance of doubt any payments to holders of Irish Company Share Options in accordance with Section 2.3(b) are not required by Applicable Law to be subject to withholding, unless there is a change in Applicable Law after the date of this Agreement that requires such withholding), Purchaser shall cause the Paying Agent to pay to the applicable recipient) all amounts in respect of the Per Share Cash Consideration and Per ADS Cash Consideration, as applicable, payable pursuant to the foregoing in Section 2.3 to the applicable recipients thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, unless there is a change in Applicable Law after the date of this Agreement that requires such withholding, Applicable Law does not require that any employee employed under the laws of Ireland be subject to Tax withholding with respect to their Company Share Options or that payments in respect of such Company Share Options be paid via payroll; accordingly, anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the CVR Agreement or the Scheme of
A-5

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Arrangement notwithstanding, any amounts payable to employees employed under the laws of Ireland in respect of Company Share Options in connection with the Transaction shall be paid through the Paying Agent and shall not be subject to Tax withholding unless there is a change in Applicable Law after the date of this Agreement that requires such withholding.
(g) Prior to the Effective Time, Company shall deliver written notice to each holder of Company Share Options, Company RSUs and Company PSUs informing such holder of the effect of the Transaction on such Company Share Options, Company RSUs and Company PSUs, obtain any necessary consents, adopt applicable resolutions, (if required) amend the terms of the Company Equity Plans or any outstanding Company Share Options, Company RSUs and Company PSUs, cooperate fully and in good faith with Purchaser and its Representatives in agreeing to the form of the Option Exercise Documents, and take all other appropriate actions to (i) give effect to the Transaction, (ii) terminate the Company Equity Plans as of, and subject to the occurrence of, the Effective Time and (iii) ensure that after the Effective Time, no holder of a Company Share Option, Company RSU or Company PSU, any beneficiary thereof or any other participant in the Company Equity Plans shall have any right thereunder to acquire any securities of Company or to receive any payment or benefit with respect to any award previously granted under the Company Equity Plans, except as provided in this Section 2.3.
(h) To the extent any Company Share Option has an exercise price (expressed on a per share or per Company ADS basis, as applicable) not in United States Dollars, such exercise price, for the purpose of calculating payments due to the relevant holders in this Section 2.3, shall be converted into United States Dollars at the rate of exchange as published by The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition at the end of the Business Day immediately prior to the Closing Date.
Section 2.4 Withholding Rights. Purchaser, any member of the Purchaser Group, any Affiliates of any member of the Purchaser Group, the Paying Agent and any other Person shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the payment or delivery of the Per Share Consideration or Per ADS Consideration, as applicable, such amounts, if any, of Tax as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment or delivery under Applicable Law. The Parties will cooperate in good faith to implement payment arrangements in respect of the settlement of the Per Share Consideration and the Per ADS Consideration (including through the use of appropriate agents that will, to the extent legally permissible, minimize both the amount of, and the administrative burdens associated with, such deduction or withholding). To the extent that amounts of Tax are so deducted and withheld, such deducted and withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted to the applicable Taxing Authority within the time limits imposed by Applicable Law; and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and the Scheme of Arrangement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
Section 2.5 Company and Purchaser Actions Prior to and at the Closing.
(a) On or prior to the Closing, Company shall procure that a meeting of the Company Board (or any committee thereof) is held at which resolutions are passed, conditional upon the delivery of the Court Order to the Registrar of Companies in England and Wales (and effective as of the Effective Time), approving:
(i) the resignation of such directors of Company as Purchaser shall determine from the Company Board; and
(ii) the appointment of such persons as Purchaser shall determine as the directors of Company.
(b) On the Closing Date, Company shall deliver to Purchaser a letter of resignation (in customary form) from (or evidence of the removal of) each director who is to resign in accordance with Section 2.5(a)(i) and each director of the board of any Subsidiary of the Company as Purchaser shall request (provided, that the delivery thereof shall not be a condition to the Closing).
Section 2.6 Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Scheme of Arrangement, at any time before or after the Effective Time, Purchaser and Company shall each execute any further instruments, deeds, documents, conveyances, assignments or assurances and do all other things reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the Transaction and to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

(d) Anything in this Section 6.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, prior to the Company Approval Time, if the Company Board receives a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal made after the date of this Agreement that has not resulted from a Willful Breach of Section 6.2(a) and the Company Board (or any committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and that the failure to take such action in response to such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, the Company Board (or any committee thereof) may, subject to compliance with this Section 6.2(d), (i) make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or (ii) terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1(d)(ii); provided, that (A) Company shall first notify Purchaser in writing at least four Business Days before taking such action that Company intends to take such action, which notice shall include an unredacted copy of such proposal relating thereto (and, to the extent not in writing, the material terms and conditions thereof and the identity of the Person(s) making any such Acquisition Proposal), (B) Company and its Representatives shall negotiate in good faith with Purchaser, and its Representatives during such four Business Day notice period, to the extent Purchaser affirmatively seeks to negotiate and make itself reasonably available to negotiate, to enable Purchaser to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement, (C) upon the end of such notice period, the Company Board (or any committee thereof) shall have considered in good faith any revisions to the terms of this Agreement committed to in a binding written proposal by Purchaser and shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Superior Proposal would nevertheless continue to constitute a Superior Proposal if such revisions proposed by Purchaser were to be given effect and that the failure to take such action in response to such Superior Proposal would continue to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law and (D) in the event of any change, from time to time, to any of the material financial terms or any other material terms of such Superior Proposal, Company shall, in each case, have delivered to Purchaser an additional notice consistent with that described in clause (A) of this proviso and a new notice period under clause (A) of this proviso shall commence each time, except each such notice period shall be two Business Days (instead of four Business Days), during which time Company shall be required to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.2(d) anew with respect to each such additional notice, including clauses (A) through (D) above of this proviso. In no event shall Company’s compliance with its obligations pursuant to this Section 6.2(d) constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change.
(e) Anything in Section 6.2(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, at any time prior to Company Approval Time, the Company Board (or any committee thereof) may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change of the type described in clauses (v), (vi), (vii) or (viii) (to the extent relating to the foregoing clauses (v), (vi) or (vii)) of the definition thereof in response to an Intervening Event if the Company Board (or any committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel that the failure to make such Company Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law;

provided, that, prior to taking either such action (i) Company shall first notify Purchaser in writing at least four Business Days before taking such action that Company intends to take such action, which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of such Intervening Event (including the facts and circumstances providing the basis for the determination by the Company Board (or any committee thereof) to effect such Company Adverse Recommendation Change), (ii) Company and its Representatives shall negotiate in good faith with Purchaser and its Representatives during such four Business Day period, to the extent Purchaser affirmatively seeks to negotiate and make itself reasonably available to negotiate, to enable Purchaser to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement, (iii) Company and its Representatives shall provide to Purchaser and its Representatives all applicable information with respect to such Intervening Event reasonably requested by Purchaser to permit it to propose revisions to the terms of the Agreement, and (iv) upon the end of such notice period, the Company Board (or any committee thereof) shall have considered in good faith any such revisions to the terms of this Agreement committed to in a binding written proposal by Purchaser, and shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening Event would continue to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.
(f) Nothing contained in this Section 6.2 shall prevent the Company Board (or any committee thereof) from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company Shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the 1934 Act, (ii) making any required disclosure to the Company Shareholders if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, (iii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to Company Shareholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the 1934 Act, or (iv) making honest and complete disclosure to the Court or SEC at the hearing to sanction the Scheme of Arrangement as required by Applicable Law, and none of the actions in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) shall, in and of itself, constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change.
Section 6.3 Transaction Litigation. Company shall promptly (and in any event, within two Business Days) notify Purchaser of any shareholder demands or Proceedings (including derivative claims) commenced against Company, its Subsidiaries and/or its or its Subsidiaries’ respective directors or officers relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, “Transaction Litigation”) and shall keep Purchaser informed on a reasonably current basis regarding any Transaction Litigation (including by promptly furnishing to Purchaser and its Representatives such information relating to such Transaction Litigation as may reasonably be requested by Purchaser and that would not reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of attorney client or other applicable legal privilege); provided, that Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements. Other than to the extent such Transaction Litigation relates to an Acquisition Proposal in respect of which Company determines Company and Purchaser have adverse interests, Company shall give Purchaser the opportunity to consult with it regarding the defense and settlement of any Transaction Litigation, shall consider in good faith Purchaser’s advice with respect to such Transaction Litigation and shall give Purchaser the opportunity to participate (at Purchaser’s expense) in (but not control) the defense or settlement of such Transaction Litigation. Prior to the Effective Time, neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall settle or offer to settle any Transaction Litigation without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
Section 6.4 Takeover Statutes. Company shall (a) take all action within its control necessary, if any, so that no “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “supermajority,” “affiliate transactions” or “business combination statute or regulation” or other similar anti-takeover laws or regulations, or any similar provision of the Company Organizational Documents is or becomes applicable to the Transaction or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) if any such anti-takeover law, regulation or provision is or becomes applicable to the Transaction or any other transactions contemplated hereby, cooperate and grant such approvals and take such actions within its control as are reasonably necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the transactions contemplated hereby.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(including the value of equity or equity-based incentives, which value may be provided in the form of non-equity based incentives, but excluding any change in control, retention, sale bonus or other special or non-recurring plans, programs and arrangements) and other employee benefits (excluding any equity or equity-based compensation, change in control, retention, sale bonus or any special or non-recurring plans, programs and arrangements and any retiree or post-termination health or welfare benefits or defined benefit pension benefits) that are, in each case, substantially comparable in the aggregate to such incentive compensation opportunities and such employee benefits that were provided to such Affected Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, which obligation may be satisfied with respect to any particular compensation or benefit through the maintenance of the Company Employee Plan that provides such compensation or benefits (e.g., commission plans). During the Benefits Continuation Period, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries or Company to, provide severance benefits to any Affected Employee that are no less favorable than the severance benefits provided to similarly-situated employees of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries.
(b) Purchaser shall, or shall cause a Purchaser Subsidiary or Company to, pay, in accordance with the terms of any Company Employee Plan or the relevant contract of employment, to each Affected Employee who participates in an annual incentive plan or similar incentive plan in respect of fiscal year in which the Closing occurs a cash bonus in respect of such fiscal year based on actual performance, prorated based on the number of calendar days elapsed during such fiscal year through the Closing Date, payable at the time such bonus would otherwise have been paid (or, if earlier, upon such service provider’s termination from service).
(c) With respect to any employee benefit plan in which any Affected Employee first becomes eligible to participate on or after the Effective Time (the “New Company Plans”), Purchaser shall provide, or shall cause a Purchaser Subsidiary or Company to use its commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) waive all pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such Affected Employee under any New Company Plan that is a health or welfare plan in which such Affected Employee may be eligible to participate after the Effective Time to the extent satisfied or waived under a comparable Company Employee Plan, (ii) recognize service of Affected Employees (to the extent credited by Company or its Subsidiaries in any comparable Company Employee Plan) accrued prior to the Effective Time for all purposes under (but not for the purposes of benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan) any New Company Plan in which such Affected Employees may be eligible to participate after the Effective Time, provided, however, that in no event shall any credit be given to the extent it would result in the duplication of benefits for the same period of service, and (iii) if applicable, cause to be credited, in any New Company Plan that is a health or welfare plan in which Affected Employees participate, any deductibles or out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Affected Employee and such Affected Employee’s beneficiaries and dependents during the portion of the calendar year in which such Affected Employee first becomes eligible for the New Company Plan that occurs prior to such Affected Employee’s commencement of participation in such New Company Plan with the objective that there be no double counting during the first year of eligibility of such deductibles or out-of-pocket expenses. To the extent applicable, upon any transition to New Company Plans or any employee benefit plans of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates that provide for severance benefits that are based on service credit, Affected Employees shall be credited with service accrued prior to the Effective Time for all relevant purposes under such plan(s).

(c) Company shall, prior to the Effective Time, purchase a six-year prepaid “tail policy” providing insurance coverage, benefits and terms no less favorable to the Indemnified Parties than the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance with respect to acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred prior to the Effective Time; provided that in no event shall the cost of such policy exceed 300% of the

last annual premium paid by Company prior to the date hereof in respect of its directors and officers insurance policy (the “Maximum Amount”) (it being understood and agreed that Company shall, if the quoted premium for the “tail policy” exceeds the Maximum Amount, purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for the Maximum Amount).
(d) In the event that after the Effective Time (i) Purchaser, Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (A) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (B) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, or (ii) Purchaser or any of their respective successors or assigns dissolves Company, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Purchaser or Company, as applicable, shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 7.4.

The failure to deliver any such notice shall not affect any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII or give rise to any right to terminate under Article IX.
Section 7.6 Stock Exchange Delisting. Each of Company and Purchaser agrees to cooperate with the other Party in taking, or causing to be taken, all actions necessary to delist each Company ADS from the Nasdaq and terminate its registration under the 1934 Act; provided, that such delisting and termination shall not be effective until the Effective Time.

Section 7.8 Tax Matters.
(a) Company and Purchaser shall (and shall, in the case of Company, procure that each of its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives shall and, in the case of Purchaser, procure that any other member of the Purchaser Group and its and their respective Representatives shall) provide such assistance and information as such other Party may reasonably request in connection with any matters relating to Tax in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including in respect of any Tax rulings, clearances or consents that any such Party may consider necessary or desirable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including in connection with any UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax). Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties, Purchaser shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof and in any event prior to the Closing, obtain confirmation from His Majesty’s Revenue & Customs that the Court Order shall not be subject to United Kingdom stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax on the basis that the Court Order will not be the principal instrument of transfer (and in connection therewith, will provide an undertaking to His Majesty’s Revenue & Customs that Purchaser will pay all applicable UK stamp duty on the relevant instrument of transfer).

(i) if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that would cause any condition set forth in Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b) not to be satisfied, and such breach or failure to perform (A) is incapable of being cured by the End Date or (B) has not been cured by Purchaser within the earlier of (x) 30 days following written notice to Purchaser from Company of such breach or failure to perform and (y) the End Date; provided, that this Agreement may not be terminated pursuant to this Section 9.1(d)(i) if Company is then in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach by Company would cause any condition set forth in Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b) not to be satisfied; or

that in the case of this clause (ii), (A) a bona fide Acquisition Proposal from a Third Party shall have been publicly announced or made publicly known after the date of this Agreement and shall not have been publicly withdrawn without qualification at least five Business Days prior to the Company GM and the Scheme Meeting and (B) within 12 months of the date this Agreement is so terminated, (1) Company enters into a definitive agreement providing for an Acquisition Proposal with a Third Party (which transaction is ultimately consummated, regardless of whether such consummation is within such 12 month period), or (2) a transaction representing an Acquisition Proposal with a Third Party is consummated; provided, that for purposes of this Section 9.3(a)(ii), all references to “20%” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50%”,
then, in either the case of clause (i) or clause (ii) of this Section 9.3(a), Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Purchaser, in cash, a payment in an amount equal to $14,000,000 (the “Termination Fee”) (x) in the case of Section 9.3(a)(i), substantially concurrently with the termination of this Agreement in the case of a termination by Company or as promptly as practicable (and, in any event, within two Business Days following such termination) in the case of a termination by Purchaser and (y) in the case of Section 9.3(a)(ii), at or prior to the consummation of the transaction representing an Acquisition Proposal referred to therein.
(b) Any payment of the Termination Fee shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (in U.S. dollars) to an account designated in writing by Purchaser.
(c) The parties agree and understand that in no event shall Company be required to pay the Termination Fee or the Company Expense Reimbursement on more than one occasion. The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 9.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement and that any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 9.3 do not constitute a penalty and that Company will not be entitled to argue that the Termination Fee is unenforceable or should be reduced in any manner. Accordingly, if Company fails to promptly pay any Termination Fee due pursuant to this Section 9.3, Company shall also pay any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses) incurred by Purchaser in connection with a legal action to enforce this Agreement that results in a judgment for such amount against Company. Any Termination Fee not paid when due pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall bear interest from the date such amount is due until the date paid at an annual rate equal to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition in effect on the date of such payment. Other than in the case of Fraud, the amounts payable by Company pursuant to Section 9.3(a), together with any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 9.3(c), Section 9.3(e) or Section 9.3(g), shall constitute liquidated damages and shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives, in the event of a termination of this Agreement in connection with which the Termination Fee or a Company Expense Reimbursement is payable by Company pursuant to Section 9.3(a) or Section 9.3(g), as applicable, and the Termination Fee or Company Expense Reimbursement, as applicable, and any such additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 9.3(c) and Section 9.3(e) are actually paid to Purchaser, for any and all losses and damages suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated or for any breaches or failures to perform by Company of its covenants and agreements hereunder.
(d) The Parties intend that any payment of any Termination Fee, being compensatory in nature, shall not be treated (in whole or in part) as consideration for a supply for the purposes of VAT and, accordingly, the Parties shall, and shall procure that the representative member of any VAT group of which it is a member shall, use reasonable best efforts to secure that the Termination Fee will not be subject to any VAT.
(e) If a Taxing Authority (or, following an appeal to a court or tribunal, such court or tribunal) finally determines that any payment of the Termination Fee constitutes all or part of the consideration for a supply made for VAT purposes in respect of which either (A) Purchaser (or the representative member of the VAT group of which it is a member) is liable to account for VAT or (B) Company (or the representative member of the VAT group of which it is a member) is liable to account for VAT under the reverse charge mechanism, then:
(i) in the case of Section 9.3(e)(A), to the extent that such VAT is recoverable by Company (or the representative member of the VAT group of which it is a member) by way of repayment or credit as input tax, the amount of the sum payable by Company pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall be increased to such amount so that the amount of the sum (including any amount in respect of VAT), less the amount of such repayment or credit in respect of input tax, equals the amount of the sum had no such VAT arisen; and
A-50

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(ii) in the case of Section 9.3(e)(B), to the extent that any VAT chargeable on the supply is not recoverable by Company (or the representative member of the VAT group of which it is a member) by way of repayment or credit as input tax, the amount of the sum payable by Company to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall be reduced to such amount so that the aggregate of the sum (as so reduced) and such irrecoverable reverse charge VAT equals the amount of the sum had no such irrecoverable reverse charge VAT arisen.
(f) Any adjusting payment as may be required between the Parties to give effect to Section 9.3(e) shall be made fifteen Business Days after the date on which the determination by the Taxing Authority (or court or tribunal, following an appeal) has been communicated to the relevant Party (together with such other evidence as it is reasonable in the circumstances to provide and the provision of a valid VAT invoice where appropriate) or, if later, five Business Days (y) in the case of Section 9.3(e)(A) (where relevant VAT is recoverable by Company) after the date on which such VAT is so recovered or (z) in the case of Section 9.3(e)(B) before the date on which the irrecoverable VAT is required to be accounted for by Company. Company shall (or shall procure that the representative member of the VAT group of which it is a member shall) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any available repayment or credit in respect of VAT (as referred to in this Section 9.3).
(g) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(ii) (Material Breach), then Company shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds (in U.S. dollars) to an account designated in writing by Purchaser an amount equal to all of the reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction (including in each case any VAT on such expenses, but only to the extent such VAT is not recoverable) (such amount, the “Company Expense Reimbursement”) up to a maximum amount of $10,000,000. Purchaser shall send Company a written notice within two Business Days of such termination specifying the amount of the Company Expense Reimbursement calculated in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, including reasonable supporting detail therefor. Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Purchaser the Company Expense Reimbursement within two Business Days of Purchaser duly delivering such notice in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. To the extent the Company Expense Reimbursement is paid by Company to Purchaser, such amount paid shall be deducted from the amount of any Termination Fee owed or payable.
(h) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Company pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(i) (Material Breach), then Purchaser shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds (in U.S. dollars) to an account designated in writing by Company an amount equal to all of the reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Company in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction (including in each case any VAT on such expenses, but only to the extent such VAT is not recoverable) (such amount, the “Purchaser Expense Reimbursement”) up to a maximum amount of $10,000,000 (it being understood that any amounts otherwise reimbursable by Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.7(b) shall not count towards such limitation). Company shall send Purchaser a written notice within two Business Days of such termination specifying the amount of the Purchaser Expense Reimbursement calculated in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, including reasonable supporting detail therefor. Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to Company the Purchaser Expense Reimbursement within two Business Days of Company duly delivering such notice in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. To the extent the Purchaser Expense Reimbursement is paid by Purchaser to Company, such amount shall be deducted from the amount of any damages awarded to Company by any court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that the payment of the Purchaser Expense Reimbursement shall not limit Company’s ability to seek damages from Purchaser pursuant to the first sentence of Section 9.2.

Section 10.5 Third-Party Beneficiaries; Benefit; Assignment.

Section 10.8 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTION OR THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.8.

A-54

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Section 10.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Support Agreements, the CVR Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter thereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Exclusivity Agreement, which will terminate pursuant to its terms).
Section 10.11 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
Section 10.12 Specific Performance. The Parties’ rights in this Section 10.12 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable harm would occur and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at law (a) for any breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (b) in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement (this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement or under Applicable Law), without proof of actual damages, and each Party further agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. The Parties agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Applicable Law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the Parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. Nothing contained in this Section 10.12 shall require any Party to institute any Proceeding for (or limit any Party’s right to institute any Proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 10.12 before exercising any termination right under Section 9.1 (or pursuing the Termination Fee or damages), nor shall the commencement of any Proceeding pursuant to this Section 10.12 or anything contained in this Section 10.12 restrict or limit any Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 9.1 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter. In the event that, prior to the End Date, any Party brings an action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other Party, the End Date shall automatically be extended by such other time period established by the court presiding over such action.
Section 10.13 Interpretation.
(a) The following rules of interpretation shall apply to this Agreement: (i) the words “hereof”, “hereby”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of like import used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; (ii) the table of contents and captions in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall be ignored in the construction or interpretation hereof; (iii) references to Articles, Sections and Exhibits are to Articles, Sections and Exhibits of this Agreement unless otherwise specified; (iv) all Exhibits and schedules annexed to this Agreement or referred to in this Agreement, including the Company Disclosure Schedule and the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule, are incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full in this Agreement; (v) any capitalized term used in any Exhibit or schedules annexed to this Agreement, including the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule, but not otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning set forth in this Agreement; (vi) any singular term in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the plural, and any plural term the singular, and references to any gender shall include all genders; (vii) whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”, whether or not they are in fact followed by those words or words of like import; (viii) “writing”, “written” and comparable terms refer to printing, typing and other means of reproducing words (including electronic media) in a visible form; (ix) references to any Applicable Law shall be deemed to refer to such Applicable Law as amended from time to time and to any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder; (x) references to any Person include the successors and permitted assigns of that Person; (xi) when calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded and
A-55

if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period shall end on the next succeeding Business Day; (xii) references to “dollars” and “$” means U.S. dollars; (xiii) the term “made available” and words of similar import mean that the relevant documents, instruments or materials were (A) posted and made available to Purchaser on the applicable due diligence data site (or in any “clean room” or as otherwise provided on an “outside counsel only” basis) or provided via email or in person, in each case, prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement (including materials provided to outside counsel); or (B) filed or furnished to the SEC prior to the date of this Agreement; (xiv) the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other theory extends and such phrase shall not mean “if”; (xv) the Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as jointly drafted by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement, (xvi) references to Company Shareholders or other holders of Company Ordinary Shares shall be deemed to include holders of any Company ADS unless the context otherwise requires (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that Company ADSs are not themselves being acquired under the Scheme of Arrangement and do not constitute Scheme Shares); and (xvii) the terms “or”, “any” and “either” are not exclusive.
(b) The inclusion of any information in the Company Disclosure Schedule or Purchaser Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself and solely by virtue of the inclusion of such information in the Company Disclosure Schedule or Purchaser Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, that such information is required to be listed in the Company Disclosure Schedule or Purchaser Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, that such items are material to Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or Purchaser and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as the case may be, or that such items have resulted in a Material Adverse Effect or a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect. The headings, if any, of the individual sections of each of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule and the Company Disclosure Schedule are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part thereof or a part of this Agreement. The Company Disclosure Schedule and Purchaser Disclosure Schedule are arranged in sections corresponding to the Sections of this Agreement merely for convenience, and the disclosure of an item in one section of the Company Disclosure Schedule or Purchaser Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, as an exception to a particular representation or warranty, shall be deemed adequately disclosed as an exception with respect to all other representations or warranties to the extent that the relevance of such item to such representations or warranties is reasonably apparent on its face, notwithstanding the presence or absence of an appropriate section of the Company Disclosure Schedule or Purchaser Disclosure Schedule with respect to such other representations or warranties or an appropriate cross reference thereto.

Moelis & Company Fairness Opinion
January 8, 2023
Board of Directors
Amryt Pharma plc
45 Mespil Road
Dublin D04 W2F1
Ladies & Gentlemen:
You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of ordinary shares in the capital of Amryt Pharma plc (the “Company”), each with a par value £0.06 per share (the “Company Ordinary Shares”), including Company Ordinary Shares underlying the Company’s American depositary shares (the “Company ADS”) but other than the Excluded Shares (as defined in the Scheme of Arrangement (as defined below)), of the Per Share Consideration (as defined below) to be received by such holders pursuant to the Transaction Agreement (the “Agreement”) to be entered into by the Company and Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A. (the “Acquiror”).
As more fully described in the Agreement, the Scheme of Arrangement attached thereto (the “Scheme of Arrangement”) and the Contingent Value Rights Agreement attached thereto (the “CVR Agreement”), pursuant to a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the United Kingdom Companies Act 2006, Acquiror will acquire the Scheme Shares (as defined in the Agreement) from the Scheme Shareholders (as defined in the Agreement) (the “Transaction”), in exchange for the right to receive, in respect of each Scheme Share, (i) $2.90 in cash, without interest (the “Per Share Cash Consideration”) and (ii) (A) one contractual contingent value right representing the right to receive a contingent payment equal to $0.20 with respect to the achievement of Milestone 1 pursuant to and as defined in the CVR Agreement (the “Milestone 1 CVR”) and (B) one contractual contingent value right representing the right to receive a contingent payment equal to $0.30 with respect to the achievement of Milestone 2 pursuant to and as defined in the CVR Agreement (the “Milestone 2 CVR” and, together with the Milestone 1 CVR, the “Per Share CVR Consideration” and, together with the Per Share Cash Consideration, the “Per Share Consideration”). Accordingly, as more fully described in the Agreement, immediately following the effective time of the Scheme of Arrangement, the holders of the Company ADSs shall cease to have any rights with respect to the Company ADSs, except for the right to receive (i) an amount of cash equal to $14.50 and (ii)(A) five Milestone 1 CVRs and (B) five Milestone 2 CVRs.
In arriving at our opinion, we have, among other things: (i) reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information relating to the Company; (ii) reviewed certain internal information relating to the business, earnings, cash flow, assets, liabilities and prospects of the Company furnished to us by the Company, including financial forecasts provided to and discussed with us by the management of the Company (including probability of success assumptions for clinical and pre-approval programs and including assumptions regarding the probability and timing of achievement of each Milestone 1 and Milestone 2 (the “Milestones”)) under management’s long-range plan (as defined in the section entitled “Certain Amryt Forecasts” in this scheme circular as the “2022 LRP”), an additional sensitivity scenario to the 2022 LRP based on an illustrative competition for metreleptin, and under an upside strategic plan (as defined in the section entitled “Certain Amryt Forecasts” in this scheme circular as the “Strategic Plan”; (iii) reviewed information regarding the capitalization of the Company furnished to us by the Company; (iv) reviewed estimates prepared and provided to us by the management of the Company as to the Company’s projected utilization on a standalone basis of net operating losses to achieve future tax savings; (v) conducted discussions with members of the senior management and representatives of the Company concerning the information described in clauses (i) through (iv) of this paragraph, as well as the business and prospects of the Company generally; (vi) reviewed the reported prices and trading activity for the Company ADSs; (vii) considered the results of efforts by or on behalf of the Company, including by us at the Company’s direction, to solicit indications of interest from third parties with respect to a possible acquisition of all or a portion of the Company; (viii) reviewed publicly available financial and stock market data of certain other companies in lines of business that we deemed relevant; (ix) reviewed the financial terms of certain other transactions that we deemed relevant; (x) reviewed a draft,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

dated January 7, 2023, of the Agreement (including the forms of Scheme of Arrangement and the CVR Agreement attached thereto); (xi) participated in certain discussions and negotiations among representatives of the Company and the Acquiror and their advisors; and (xii) conducted such other financial studies and analyses and took into account such other information as we deemed appropriate.
In connection with our analysis and opinion, we have, at your direction, relied on the information supplied to, discussed with or reviewed by us for purposes of this opinion being complete and accurate in all material respects. We have not independently verified any such information (or assumed any responsibility for the independent verification of any of such information). With your consent, we have also relied on the representation of the Company’s management that (i) they are not aware of any facts of circumstances that would make any such information inaccurate or misleading and (ii) each Company ADS represents a beneficial ownership interest in five Company Ordinary Shares. With your consent, we have relied upon, without independent verification, the assessment of the Company and its legal, tax, regulatory and accounting advisors with respect to legal, tax, regulatory and accounting matters. With respect to the financial forecasts referred to above, at your direction, we have utilized the 2022 LRP for purposes of our opinion, and we have assumed, at your direction, that it has been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company as to the future performance of the Company (including management’s forecasts as to the probability and estimated timing of achievement of each Milestone). We express no views as to the reasonableness of the 2022 LRP or any other financial forecasts or the assumptions on which they are based. In addition, we have not made any independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (contingent, derivative, off-balance-sheet, or otherwise) of the Company, nor have we been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal.
Our opinion does not address the Company’s underlying business decision to effect the Transaction or the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any alternative business strategies or transactions that might be available to the Company and does not address any legal, regulatory, tax or accounting matters. We have not been asked to, nor do we, offer any opinion as to any terms of the Agreement (including the Scheme of Arrangement or CVR Agreement) or any aspect or implication of the Transaction (including the form or terms of the Milestone 1 CVR and/or the Milestone 2 CVR or the restrictions on transferability thereof), except for the fairness of the Per Share Consideration from a financial point of view to the holders of Scheme Shares. We are not expressing any opinion as to fair value, viability or the solvency of the Company following the closing of the Transaction. We have not considered, and we do not express any opinion with respect to, any value that may be attributable to any control rights or governance rights of any holders of Company Ordinary Shares or Company ADS (or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Company Ordinary Shares or Company ADS), or associated with any substantial holding thereof, including those holders that are parties to the Voting and Transaction Support Agreements entered into in connection with the Transaction.
In rendering this opinion, we have assumed, with your consent, that the final executed form of the Agreement, the Scheme of Arrangement and the CVR Agreement will not differ in any material respect from the drafts that we have reviewed, that the Transaction will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Agreement without any waiver or modification that could be material to our analysis, that the representations and warranties of each party set forth in the Agreement are accurate and correct, and that the parties to the Agreement, the Scheme of Arrangement and the CVR Agreement will comply with all the material terms thereof. We have assumed, with your consent, that all court, governmental, regulatory or other consents or approvals necessary for the completion of the Transaction will be obtained, except to the extent that could not be material to our analysis. In addition, at your direction, for purposes of our analyses and opinion, we have utilized a range of probabilities for the achievement of the Milestones, which were informed by the management of the Company, and assumed the timing of such Milestones will be consistent with the 2022 LRP. Further, we have assumed, with your consent, that if the Milestones are achieved, the payments in respect of the Milestone 1 CVR and the Milestone 2 CVR, as applicable, will be made in accordance with the CVR Agreement.
Our opinion is necessarily based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof, and we assume no responsibility to update this opinion for developments after the date hereof.
We have acted as your financial advisor in connection with the Transaction and will receive a fee for our services, the principal portion of which is contingent upon the consummation of the Transaction. We will also receive a fee upon delivery of this opinion. Our affiliates, employees, officers and partners may at any time own securities (long or short) of the Company and the Acquiror. We have provided investment banking and other services to the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Company unrelated to the Transaction and in the future may provide such services to the Acquiror and have received and may receive compensation for such services. In the past two years prior to the date hereof, we acted as, among other things, financial advisor to the Company in connection with several potential and/or completed acquisitions of businesses.
This opinion is for the use and benefit of the Board of Directors of the Company (solely in its capacity as such) in its evaluation of the Transaction. This opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any holder of securities should vote or act with respect to the Transaction or any other matter. This opinion does not address the fairness of the Transaction or any aspect or implication thereof to, or any other consideration of or relating to, the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of the Company, other than the fairness of the Per Share Consideration from a financial point of view to the holders of the Company Ordinary Shares (other than the Excluded Shares). In addition, we do not express any opinion as to the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to be received by any officers, directors or employees of any parties to the Transaction, or any class of such persons, relative to the Per Share Consideration or otherwise. This opinion was approved by a Moelis & Company LLC fairness opinion committee.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as the date hereof, the Per Share Consideration to be received by the holders of the Company Ordinary Shares (other than the Excluded Shares) in the Transaction is fair from a financial point of view to such holders.
 
Very truly yours,

1.2 Rules of Construction. For purposes of this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that: (a) whenever the context requires, the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa; (b) the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders; the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter genders; and the neuter gender shall include masculine and feminine genders; (c) the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and does not simply mean “if”; (d) the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation;” (e) the meaning assigned to each capitalized term defined and used in this Agreement is equally applicable to both the singular and the plural forms of such term, and words denoting any gender include all genders; (f) where a word or phrase is defined in this Agreement, each of its other grammatical forms has a corresponding meaning unless the context otherwise requires; (g) a reference to any specific Applicable Law or to any provision of any Applicable Law includes any amendment to, and any modification, re-enactment or successor thereof, any legislative provision substituted therefor and all rules, regulations and statutory instruments issued thereunder or pursuant thereto; (h) references to any agreement or contract are to that agreement or contract as amended, modified or supplemented; (i) they have been represented by legal counsel during the negotiation and execution and delivery of this Agreement and therefore waive the application of any Applicable Law, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document; and (j) the word “or” shall not be exclusive (i.e., “or” shall be deemed to mean “and/or”) unless the subjects of the conjunction are mutually exclusive. The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement and shall not be referred to in connection with the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. All references to “Dollars” or “$” are to United States Dollars, unless expressly stated otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, the Milestone Payments contemplated by this Agreement have been calculated on a per Scheme Share basis and not on a Company ADS basis.
2. CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS
2.1 CVRs. The CVRs represent the rights of Holders to receive contingent cash payments pursuant to this Agreement. The Milestone 1 CVR represents the contingent rights of Holders to receive the Milestone 1 Payment, and the Milestone 2 CVR represents the contingent rights of Holders to receive the Milestone 2 Payment. The initial Holders shall be determined pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement and this Agreement, and a list of the initial Holders shall be furnished to the Rights Agent by or on behalf of Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.1 hereof and supplemented by Purchaser by written notice to the Rights Agent from time to time after the date hereof, including upon the issuance of additional CVRs following any conversion of the Company Convertible Notes.
2.2 Non-transferable. The CVRs may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, other than through a Permitted Transfer. Any such sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, encumbrance or disposal that is not a Permitted Transfer shall be null and void ab initio and of no effect.
2.3 No Certificate; Registration; Registration of Transfer; Change of Address.
(a) The CVRs shall not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument.
(b) The Rights Agent shall keep a register (the “CVR Register”) for the purpose of registering CVRs (including issuances of CVRs after the date hereof) and transfers of CVRs as herein provided. In the case of CVRs to be received by the holders of Covered Equity Awards pursuant to the Transaction Agreement or CVRs to be received by registered holders of Scheme Shares (other than the Depositary Shares), such CVRs shall initially be registered in the name and address of the holder of such Covered Equity Awards or Scheme Shares, as applicable, as set forth in the records of the Company at the Effective Time and as set forth in the form the Company furnishes to the Rights Agent. In the case of CVRs to be received by the Depositary in respect of the
C-4

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Depositary Shares, (i) such CVRs shall initially be registered in the name and to the address of the Depositary (f/b/o Eligible Company ADS Holders and Eligible Company ADS Beneficial Owners) and (ii) upon distribution of the CVRs by the Depositary to Eligible Company ADS Holders, the CVR Register shall be updated to reflect the distribution of such CVRs to the Eligible Company ADS Holders. After distribution of the CVRs by the Depositary to DTC, the CVR Register will show one position for Cede & Co. representing all of the CVRs that are distributed in respect of Company ADSs held through DTC on behalf of the Eligible Company ADS Beneficial Owners (after such distribution of the CVRs to DTC, the “CVR Beneficial Owners”). The Rights Agent will have no responsibility whatsoever directly to the CVR Beneficial Owners or DTC participants with respect to transfers of CVRs. The Rights Agent will have no responsibilities whatsoever with regard to the distribution of payments by DTC to such CVR Beneficial Owners.
(c) Subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in Section 2.2, every request made to transfer a CVR must be in writing and accompanied by a written instrument of transfer and other documentation reasonably requested by the Rights Agent in form reasonably satisfactory to the Rights Agent pursuant to its guidelines, which may include a guaranty of signature by an “eligible guarantor institution” that is a member or participant in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, duly executed by the Holder thereof, the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, the Holder’s personal representative or the Holder’s survivor, as applicable, and setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances relating to the transfer. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Rights Agent shall, subject to its reasonable determination that the transfer instrument is in proper form, notify Purchaser that it has received such written notice. Upon receipt of such notice from the Rights Agent, Purchaser shall reasonably determine whether the transfer otherwise complies with the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 2.2), and if the Purchaser so reasonably determines that it does so comply, Purchaser shall reply to the Rights Agent in writing with instructions to register the transfer of such CVR in the CVR Register and notify Purchaser of the same. Upon receiving such written reply from Purchaser, the Rights Agent shall register the transfer of the CVRs in the CVR Register and notify the Purchaser of the same. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer of a CVR, but Purchaser and the Rights Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other Tax or charge that is imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer. The Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any action under any section of this Agreement that requires the payment of applicable Taxes or charges unless and until the Rights Agent is satisfied that all such Taxes or charges have been paid. All duly transferred CVRs registered in the CVR Register shall be the valid obligations of Purchaser and shall entitle the transferee to the same benefits and rights under this Agreement as those held immediately prior to the transfer by the transferor. No transfer of a CVR shall be valid unless and until registered in the CVR Register.
(d) A Holder may make a written request to the Rights Agent to change such Holder’s address of record in the CVR Register. The written request must be duly executed by the Holder. Upon receipt of such written request, the Rights Agent is hereby authorized to, and shall promptly, record the change of address in the CVR Register.
2.4 Payment Procedures.
(a) Subject to the remainder of this Section 2.4(a), if any Milestone is achieved prior to the relevant Milestone Deadline Date, Purchaser shall, within thirty (30) Business Days of the achievement of such Milestone, deliver to the Rights Agent a notice (a “Milestone Notice”) indicating the achievement of such Milestone and that the Holders are entitled to receive the applicable Milestone Payment.
(b) The Rights Agent shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of funds from Purchaser as required pursuant to Section 4.2, (i) send each Holder at its registered address (or, in the case of Cede & Co., pursuant to the applicable procedures of DTC) a copy of such Milestone Notice and (ii) pay, subject to receipt of cash from Purchaser in accordance with Section 4.2 and any letter of instruction reasonably required by the Rights Agent, the Milestone Payment (excluding certain Covered Milestone Payments to be paid via payroll systems as contemplated by the next sentence) to each of the Holders (x) by check mailed to the address of such Holder reflected in the CVR Register as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the date of the Milestone Notice, (y) with respect to any such Holder that is due an amount in excess of $5,000 in the aggregate who has provided the Rights Agent wiring instructions in writing as of the close of business on the date of the Milestone Notice, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified on such instructions or (z) with respect to Cede & Co., by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the applicable procedures of DTC. To the extent Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries is required under applicable law to deduct
C-5

TABLE OF CONTENTS

or withhold Taxes from any Covered Milestone Payment, Purchaser shall or shall cause one of its Subsidiaries as an agent on its behalf to (A) promptly following the achievement of the applicable Milestone, notify the Rights Agent in writing of the Covered Milestone Payments it intends to satisfy in this manner and (B) prior to or substantially concurrently with the payment of the Milestone Payments by the Rights Agent under this Section 2.4(b), pay, through its applicable payroll system, the applicable Covered Milestone Payments.
(c) If any funds delivered to the Rights Agent for payment to Holders as Milestone Payments remain undistributed to the Holders on the date that is one year after the date of the applicable Milestone Notice, Purchaser shall be entitled to require the Rights Agent to deliver to Purchaser or its designee any funds which had been made available to the Rights Agent in connection with such Milestone Payment and not disbursed to the Holders (without interest), and, thereafter, such Holders shall look only to Purchaser for the payment of such Holder’s Milestone Payment (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar Applicable Laws) only as general creditors thereof with respect to the Milestone Payments that may be payable.
(d) Neither Purchaser, the Rights Agent nor any of their Affiliates shall be liable to any Holder for any Milestone Payments delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar Applicable Laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such Holders at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the property of Purchaser or its designee, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. In addition to and not in limitation of any other indemnity obligation herein, Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Rights Agent with respect to any liability, penalty, cost or expense the Rights Agent may incur or be subject to in connection with transferring such property to Purchaser.
(e) If a Milestone is not achieved prior to the relevant Milestone Deadline Date, Purchaser shall, within thirty (30) Business Days of the relevant Milestone Deadline Date, deliver to the Rights Agent a notice (a “Milestone Non-Achievement Notice”) indicating that such Milestone has not been achieved. The Rights Agent shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of receipt, deliver a copy of such Milestone Non-Achievement Notice to the Holders. The Rights Agent will deliver to Purchaser a certificate certifying the date of delivery of such Milestone Non-Achievement Notice to the Holders. If the Rights Agent does not receive from the Acting Holders a written objection to a Milestone Non-Achievement Notice within thirty (30) Business Days after the date of delivery of such Milestone Non-Achievement Notice by the Rights Agent to the Holders, the Holders will be deemed to have accepted such Milestone Non-Achievement Notice, and neither Purchaser nor its Controlled Affiliates will have any further obligation hereunder with respect to such Milestone Payment or otherwise with respect to such Milestone; provided that the foregoing shall not limit any remedies available to the Holders under this Agreement with respect to any breach by Purchaser arising prior to the time such Milestone Non-Achievement Notice is deemed to be accepted pursuant to this sentence.
2.5 U.S. Treatment. Except to the extent any portion of any Milestone Payment is required to be treated as imputed interest pursuant to Applicable Law, the parties hereto intend, for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes, to treat (i) Milestone Payments with respect to the CVRs received with respect to the Scheme Shares and Company ADSs, as applicable, pursuant to the Transaction Agreement and this Agreement as additional consideration paid at the Effective Time for the Scheme Shares and Company ADSs pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, (ii) each of Milestone 1 and Milestone 2 as covered by separate CVRs (the Milestone 1 CVRs and Milestone 2 CVRs, respectively) and (iii) Covered Milestone Payments, and not the receipt of any such CVR, for all U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes, as compensation (subject to withholding Taxes to the extent required by Applicable Law) in the year in which the Covered Milestone Payment is made (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, treatment in any jurisdiction outside of the United States will be determined by Purchaser in its good faith discretion following consultation with a reputable international tax accounting firm).
2.6 No Voting, Dividends or Interest; No Equity or Ownership Interest.
(a) The CVRs shall not have any voting or dividend rights, and interest shall not accrue on any amounts payable on the CVRs to any Holder.
(b) The CVRs shall not represent any equity or ownership interest in Purchaser or in any constituent company to the Transaction or any of their respective Affiliates.

2.7 Ability to Abandon CVR. A Holder may at any time, at such Holder’s option, abandon all of such Holder’s remaining rights in a CVR by transferring such CVR to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates without consideration therefor. Purchaser shall notify the Rights Agent in writing of the abandonment by Holder of such CVR. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from offering to acquire or acquiring any CVRs for consideration from the Holders, in private transactions or otherwise, in its sole discretion. Any CVRs acquired by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates shall be automatically deemed extinguished and no longer outstanding for purposes of the definition of Acting Holders and Article 5 and Article 6. Purchaser shall notify the Rights Agent in writing of any such extinguishment of a CVR.
2.8 Withholding. Purchaser, its Affiliates, and the Company (as applicable) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Milestone Payments or Covered Milestone Payments (as applicable), such amounts, if any, of Tax as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment or delivery under Applicable Law. Purchaser will cooperate in good faith with the Holders to implement payment arrangements in respect of the settlement of the Milestone Payments and the Covered Milestone Payments (including through the use of appropriate agents that will, to the extent legally permissible, minimize both the amount of, and the administrative burdens associated with, such deduction or withholding). To the extent that amounts of Tax are so deducted and withheld, such deducted and withheld amounts (a) shall be remitted to the applicable Taxing Authority within the time limits imposed by Applicable Law and (b) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and the Scheme of Arrangement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(m) the Rights Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself (through its officers, directors and employees) or by or through its attorneys or agents.

(n) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any liability of the Rights Agent under this Agreement will be limited to the aggregate of the Up-Front Fee (as defined in the Fee Schedule) and the amount of fees paid (not including reimbursed expenses) by the Purchaser to the Rights Agent during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event for which recovery from the Rights Agent is being sought other than to the extent such liabilities are a result of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Rights Agent (each as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction); and

The Rights Agent may from time to time receive interest, dividends or other earnings in connection with such deposits. The Rights Agent shall not be obligated to pay such interest, dividends or earnings to the Purchaser, any Holder or any other Person, unless there is a diminution of the Funds due to a deposit or investment made by the Rights Agent, in which case, the Rights Agent agrees that such interest, dividends or earnings shall accrue to the benefit of Purchaser to the extent of such diminution of the Fund.
The provisions of this Section 3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the resignation, replacement or removal of the Rights Agent and the exercise, termination and the expiration of the CVR.
3.3 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.
(a) The Rights Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to Purchaser specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect, which notice shall be sent at least thirty (30) days prior to the date so specified. Purchaser has the right to remove the Rights Agent at any time by specifying a date when such removal shall take effect. Notice of such removal shall be given by Purchaser to the Rights Agent, which notice shall be sent at least thirty (30) days prior to the date so specified.
(b) If the Rights Agent provides notice of its intent to resign, is removed or becomes incapable of acting, Purchaser shall, as soon as is reasonably practicable, appoint a qualified successor Rights Agent who shall be a stock transfer agent of national reputation or the corporate trust department of a commercial bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser shall fail to make such appointment within a period of sixty (30) days after giving notice of such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent, then the Acting Holders or incumbent Rights Agent may apply (if the Rights Agent so elects) to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent.

Each notice shall include the name and address of the successor Rights Agent. If Purchaser fails to send such notice within ten (10) Business Days after acceptance of appointment by a successor Rights Agent, the successor Rights Agent shall cause the notice to be transmitted at the expense of Purchaser. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 3.3, however, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be.

(b) material default in the performance, or breach in any material respect, of any covenant or warranty of Purchaser hereunder (other than a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section 6.1 specifically dealt with), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of ninety (90) days after a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied is given, which written notice states that it is a “Notice of Default” hereunder and is sent by registered or certified mail to Purchaser by the Rights Agent or to Purchaser and the Rights Agent by the Acting Holders.
6.2 General Enforcement of Rights of Holders. Any actions seeking the enforcement of the rights of Holders hereunder may be brought by the Acting Holders, acting on behalf of the Holders; provided that any actions taken by the Acting Holders shall be undertaken in accordance with Applicable Law and the provisions of this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Acting Holders may commence an arbitration proceeding to protect the rights of the Holders, including to obtain payment for any amounts then due and payable. In the event that, at any time after the Acting Holders shall have commenced such arbitration proceeding, and before any award shall have

been obtained, Purchaser shall pay or shall deposit with the Rights Agent a sum sufficient to pay all amounts which shall have become due under this Agreement and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Rights Agent, its agents, attorneys and counsel (if any), and all Events of Default under this Agreement shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein, then and in every such case the Acting Holders, by written notice to Purchaser and to the Rights Agent, shall waive all defaults that are the subject of such arbitration proceeding, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default.
6.3 Rights upon Certain Insolvency Proceedings Involving Purchaser. In the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy or similar proceeding of Purchaser, Holders shall be entitled to assert claims in such proceeding and take related actions in pursuit of such claims with respect to any payment that may be claimed by or on behalf of Purchaser or by any creditor of Purchaser. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the right of any Holder of any CVR to receive payment of the amounts that a Milestone Notice indicates are payable in respect of such CVR on or after the applicable due date, or to commence arbitration proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such due date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

The Rights Agent or Purchaser may specify a different address or email address by giving notice in accordance with this Section 7.1.
7.2 Notice to Holders. Where this Agreement provides for notice to Holders, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and transmitted through the facilities of DTC in accordance with DTC’s procedures (in respect of CVRs registered in the name of Cede & Co. only) or mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at the Holder’s address as it appears in the CVR Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, if any, prescribed for the giving of such notice.
7.3 Purchaser Successors and Assigns. Purchaser may not directly or indirectly assign any or all of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder to any person or entity without the prior written consent of the Acting Holders; provided, that Purchaser may assign, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder (a) in its sole discretion and without the consent of any other Person, to one or more direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries of Purchaser (but only so long as they remain wholly-owned Subsidiaries of Purchaser) (provided that such assignment would not be adverse to the Holders) and (b) to any other person or entity with the prior written consent of the Acting Holders (each permitted assignee under clause (a) or (b) and any subsequent assignee under the next sentence, an “Assignee”); provided that the Assignee agrees in writing to assume and be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any such Assignee may thereafter assign, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any other party, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to one or more additional Assignees which agree to assume and be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that in connection with any assignment to an Assignee, Purchaser (or the other assignor) shall agree to remain liable for the performance by each Assignee (and such other assignor, if applicable) of all covenants, agreements and obligations of Purchaser hereunder, with such Assignee substituted for Purchaser under this Agreement. This Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Purchaser’s successors and each Assignee. Subject to compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3 relating to assignments, this Agreement shall not restrict Purchaser’s, any Assignee’s or any of their respective successors’ ability to merge or consolidate with, or sell, issue, license or dispose of its stock or other equity interests or assets to, any other Person, or spin-off or split-off. Each of Purchaser’s successors (including following a Change of Control) and each Assignee shall, by a supplemental contingent consideration payment agreement or other acknowledgement executed and delivered to the Rights Agent, expressly assume payment of amounts on all of the CVRs and the performance of every obligation, agreement and covenant of this Agreement on the part of Purchaser to be performed or observed. Any Person into which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the stock transfer or other shareholder service business of the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent, shall be the successor to the Rights Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. The purchase of all or substantially all of the Rights Agent's assets employed in the performance of transfer agent or corporate trust activities shall be deemed a merger or consolidation for purposes of this Section 7.3. Any attempted assignment of this Agreement or any rights, interests or obligations in violation of this Section 7.3 shall be void and of no effect.

7.4 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall give to any Person (other than the Rights Agent, Purchaser, Purchaser’s successors and Assignees, each of whom is intended to be, and is, a third party beneficiary hereunder; provided that the Acting Holders and the Holders shall be considered third party beneficiaries solely to the extent set forth in Sections 2.8, 3.3 and 6) any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement or under any covenant or provision herein contained, all such covenants and provisions being for the sole benefit of the Rights Agent, Purchaser, Purchaser’s successors and Assignees, the Acting Holders and the Holders (solely to the extent set forth in Sections 2.8, 3.3 and 6). Except for the rights of the Rights Agent set forth herein, the Acting Holders will have the sole right, on behalf of all Holders, by virtue of or under any provision of this Agreement, to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, and no individual Holder or other group of Holders will be entitled to exercise such rights. The Holders of CVRs shall have no rights except the contractual rights as are expressly set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Holder may at any time agree to renounce, in whole or in part, whether or not for consideration, such Holder’s rights under this Agreement by written notice to the Rights Agent and Purchaser, which notice, if given, shall be irrevocable, and Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, at any time offer consideration to Holders in exchange for their agreement to irrevocably renounce their rights, in whole or in part, hereunder.
7.5 Governing Law. This Agreement, the CVRs and all actions arising under or in connection herewith and therewith (whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.
7.6 Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy or claim (including any claim for breach hereof) based upon, relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby (other than a dispute, controversy or claim asserted against or by the Rights Agent to the extent pertaining to the Rights Agent’s rights, immunities, liabilities, duties, responsibilities or obligations hereunder) shall be resolved by binding arbitration conducted in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration (“Rules”) of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”). The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators, each of whom shall be independent and a lawyer or retired judge with at least fifteen years’ experience in the pharmaceutical industry and with mergers and acquisitions. No later than fifteen days after an arbitration proceeding is commenced under this Section 7.6, Purchaser shall nominate one arbitrator and the Holder (or, if more than one Holder is a party to the arbitration proceeding, all such Holders collectively) shall nominate one arbitrator, and the two so nominated arbitrators shall select the third arbitrator. If the two arbitrators cannot or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator within fifteen days of their confirmation by the ICC, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the ICC in accordance with the Rules. The arbitration shall be administered by the ICC acting through its International Court of Arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language and the seat, or place, of the arbitration shall be the city of New York, New York. Hearings shall be conducted in New York, New York, or at such other location as mutually agreed by Purchaser and the Holder or Holders that are party to the arbitration proceeding. The arbitration award shall be final, conclusive, binding and non-appealable and shall not be subject to further review by any court. The arbitrator shall have no power to amend or supplement the terms of this Agreement or the Transaction Agreement or act ex aequo et bono. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party shall bear his, her or its own costs of any such arbitration or investigation in respect of any dispute. Any award payable in favor of the Holders or the Rights Agent as a result of arbitration shall be distributed to the Holders on a pro rata basis, based on the number of CVRs held by each Holder.
7.7 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision; provided, however, that if any excluded language shall adversely affect rights, immunities, liabilities, duties, responsibilities or obligations of the Rights Agent, the Rights Agent shall be entitled to resign immediately.
7.8 Termination. This Agreement shall be terminated and of no force or effect, the parties hereto shall have no liability hereunder (other than those rights of the Rights Agent which shall under the express terms of this Agreement), and no payments shall be required to be made, upon the earliest to occur of (a) the payment of the full
C-14

TABLE OF CONTENTS

amount of the potential Milestone Payments required to be paid under the terms of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.4, (b) the termination of the Transaction Agreement in accordance with its terms prior to the occurrence of the Effective Time and (c) 90 days following the latest Milestone Deadline Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such termination shall affect any rights or obligations accrued prior to the effective date of such termination (including in respect of breaches of this Agreement by Purchaser prior to such termination) or this Section 7, which shall survive the termination of this Agreement, or the resignation, replacement or removal of the Rights Agent.
7.9 Entire Agreement; Counterparts. As between the Purchaser and the Holders, this Agreement, the Support Agreements and the Transaction Agreement constitute the entire agreement and supersede all contemporaneous and prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the Parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. As between the Purchaser and the Rights Agent, this Agreement and any schedule or exhibit attached hereto constitutes the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between such parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. If and to the extent that any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent or conflicts with the Transaction Agreement, this Agreement shall govern and be controlling. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by .PDF shall be sufficient to bind the Parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
7.10 Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Rights Agent shall promptly notify the Purchaser of and shall not be liable for any delays or failures in performance of any act, duty, obligation or responsibility by reason of any occurrence beyond its reasonable control (but only for so long as and to the extent that such occurrence continues) including, without limitation, acts of God, terrorist acts, epidemics, pandemics, shortage of supply, breakdowns or malfunctions, interruptions or malfunction of any utilities, communications, or computer facilities, or loss of data due to power failures or mechanical difficulties with information storage or retrieval systems, labor difficulties, war, or civil unrest. The Rights Agent shall promptly resume performance under this Agreement following the end of such occurrence.

Annex D
VOTING AND TRANSACTION SUPPORT AGREEMENT
FOR COMPANY SECURITYHOLDERS
This Voting And Support Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of January 8, 2023 by and among Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A., an Italian società per azioni (“Purchaser”), and the securityholder of Amryt Pharma plc, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (the “Company”) listed on Schedule A hereto (“Securityholder”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings given to them in the Transaction Agreement (as defined below).
RECITALS:
A.
Securityholder is the record or beneficial owner of (i) the securities of the Company (including Company ADSs, Company Share Options, Company RSUs and Company PSUs) as set forth opposite Securityholder’s name on Schedule A hereto (such securities, together with any other securities of the Company or Purchaser acquired by Securityholder after the date hereof and during the term of this Agreement, being collectively referred to herein as the “Subject Securities”) and (ii) 5.00% convertible senior notes due 2025 issued pursuant to the Indenture (the “Company Convertible Notes”).
B.
On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement by and between Purchaser and the Company, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Transaction Agreement”), Purchaser will acquire the entire issued share capital of the Company by means of a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement (the “Scheme of Arrangement”).
C.
In order to induce Purchaser to enter into the Transaction Agreement and in consideration of the execution thereof by Purchaser, Securityholder, solely in Securityholder’s capacity as holder of the Subject Securities and the Company Convertible Notes, has entered into this Agreement and agrees to be bound hereby.
Now Therefore, in consideration of the promises and the covenants and agreements set forth below, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. No Transfer of Subject Securities. During the term of this Agreement, Securityholder shall not cause or permit any Transfer (as defined below) of any of the Subject Securities or enter into any agreement, option or arrangement with respect to a Transfer of any of the Subject Securities. Following the date hereof, during the term of this Agreement and except as required by this Agreement, Securityholder shall not deposit (or permit the deposit of) any Subject Securities in a voting trust or grant any proxy or enter into any voting agreement or similar agreement with respect to any of the Subject Securities or in any way grant any other Person any right whatsoever with respect to the voting or disposition of the Subject Securities (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Depositary). For purposes hereof, a Person shall be deemed to have effected a “Transfer” of Subject Securities if such Person directly or indirectly: (a) sells, pledges, encumbers, grants an option with respect to, transfers, assigns, or otherwise disposes of any Subject Securities, or any interest in such Subject Securities; or (b) enters into an agreement or commitment providing for the sale of, pledge of, encumbrance of, grant of an option with respect to, transfer of or disposition of such Subject Securities or any interest therein, in each case other than pursuant to ordinary course prime brokage relationships. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Securityholder may make (i) if Securityholder is an individual, transfers by will or by operation of law or other transfers for estate-planning purposes or charitable purposes, (ii) with respect to Securityholder’s Company Share Options, if any, which expire on or prior to the termination of this Agreement, exercises, transfers, sale, or other disposition of such Company Share Options or, if applicable, Subject Securities on exercise of such Company Share Options to the Company as payment for the (A) exercise price of Securityholder’s Company Share Options and (B) any amount of Tax applicable to the exercise, transfers, sale or other disposition of Securityholder’s Company Share Options, (iii) with respect to Securityholder’s Company RSUs, if any, (A) cancellation in consideration for the net settlement of Securityholder’s Company RSUs settled in Subject Securities (to pay any amount of Tax required to deduct and withhold with respect to the cancellation of such Company RSUs) or (B) transfers for receipt upon settlement of such Securityholder’s Company RSU, and the sale of a sufficient number of such Subject Securities acquired upon settlement of such securities as would generate sales proceeds sufficient to pay the aggregate amount of Tax payable by Securityholder as a result of such settlement, (iv) with respect to Securityholder’s Company PSUs, if any, (A) cancellation in consideration for the net settlement of Securityholder’s Company PSUs settled in Subject Securities (to pay any amount of Tax required
D-1

to deduct and withhold with respect to the cancellation of such Company PSUs) or (B) transfers for receipt upon settlement of such Securityholder’s Company PSU, and the sale of a sufficient number of such Subject Securities acquired upon settlement of such securities as would generate sales proceeds sufficient to pay the aggregate amount of Tax payable by Securityholder as a result of such settlement, (v) if Securityholder is a partnership or limited liability company, a transfer to one or more partners or members of Securityholder or to an affiliated corporation, trust or other entity under common control with Securityholder, or if Securityholder is a trust, a transfer to a beneficiary, (vi) transfers to a transferee that has signed a voting agreement with terms no less favorable to Purchaser than this Agreement, (vii) the exchange of Company ADSs for Company Ordinary Shares, or vice versa, in accordance with the Deposit Agreement, or (viii) the issuance of Company Ordinary Shares or Company ADSs pursuant to the Indenture; provided that, in each of (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) above, as a condition to such transfer the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided further that, for the avoidance of doubt, Company Ordinary Shares or Company ADSs issued pursuant to clause (vii) or (viii) above shall immediately constitute Subject Securities hereunder. If any voluntary or involuntary transfer of any Subject Securities covered hereby shall occur (including a transfer or disposition permitted by Section 1(i) through Section 1(viii), sale by a Securityholder’s trustee in bankruptcy, or a sale to a purchaser at any creditor’s or court sale), the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Subject Securities subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding that such transferee is not a Securityholder and has not executed a counterpart hereof or joinder hereto.
2. Agreement to Vote Shares. At any meeting of Company Shareholders or at any adjournment thereof, in any action by written consent or in any other circumstances upon which Securityholder’s vote, consent or other approval is sought, Securityholder shall vote (or cause to be voted), as applicable, all of the Subject Securities then owned by the Securityholder that are then entitled to be voted: (a) in favor of: (i) the Scheme of Arrangement at the Scheme Meeting (or any adjourned meeting thereof), (ii) the Company Shareholder Resolution at the Company GM (or any adjourned meeting thereof); (iii) any proposal to adjourn or postpone any such meeting to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Scheme of Arrangement and/or the Company Shareholder Resolution; and (iv) any other resolution necessary or desirable to implement the Transactions, and (b) against: (i) any resolution to approve an Acquisition Proposal (including any resolution to approve a scheme of arrangement relating thereto) or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any action, proposal, transaction, or agreement which could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty, or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Transaction Agreement or of Securityholder under this Agreement, and (iii) any action, proposal, transaction, or agreement that would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect, or inhibit the timely consummation of the Transactions or the fulfillment of the conditions to Closing under the Transaction Agreement.
Securityholder agrees that the Subject Securities then owned by the Securityholder that are entitled to be voted shall be voted (or caused to be voted) as set forth in the preceding sentence whether or not such Securityholder’s vote, consent or other approval is sought on only one or on any combination of the matters set forth in this Section 2 and at any time or at multiple times during the term of this Agreement.
3. Opportunity to Review. Securityholder acknowledges receipt of the Transaction Agreement and represents that he, she, or it has had (a) the opportunity to review, and has read, reviewed and understands, the terms and conditions of the Transaction Agreement and this Agreement, and (b) the opportunity to review and discuss the Transaction Agreement, the Transactions and this Agreement with his, her or its own advisors and legal counsel.
4. Confidentiality and Public Disclosure. From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, the Securityholder shall not make any public announcements regarding this Agreement, the Transaction Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit such public announcement (a) that the Company and Purchaser agree upon, (b) that the Securityholder deems necessary or appropriate under Applicable Law or (c) required by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or stock market. Securityholder hereby authorizes Purchaser and the Company to publish and disclose its identity and ownership of the Subject Securities and the nature of its obligations under this Agreement in the initial press release contemplated by Section 7.3 of the Transaction Agreement, any announcement or disclosure required by Applicable Law, the Court or the SEC and in the Forms of Proxy or the Scheme Circular.

5. Representations and Warranties of Securityholder. Securityholder hereby represents and warrants as follows:
(a) Securityholder (a) is the record or beneficial owner of the Subject Securities, free and clear of any liens, adverse claims, charges or other encumbrances of any nature whatsoever (other than pursuant to (i) restrictions on transfer under applicable securities laws, (ii) this Agreement, (iii) the Deposit Agreement and (iv) ordinary course prime brokerage relationships), and (b) does not beneficially own any securities of the Company (including Company ADSs, options, Company RSUs, Company PSUs or Company Convertible Notes) other than as set forth opposite its name on Schedule A.
(b) Except with respect to obligations under the Company Organizational Documents, as applicable, Securityholder has the sole right to Transfer, to vote (or cause to vote) and to direct (or cause to direct) the voting of the Subject Securities, and none of the Subject Securities are subject to any voting trust or other agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to the Transfer or the voting of the Subject Securities (other than restrictions on transfer under applicable securities laws), except as set forth in this Agreement, the Transaction Agreement or the Deposit Agreement.
(c) Securityholder (a) if not a natural person, is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and (b) has the requisite corporate, company, partnership or other power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to comply with the terms hereof. The execution and delivery by Securityholder of this Agreement, the consummation by Securityholder of the transactions contemplated hereby and the compliance by Securityholder with the provisions hereof have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate, company, partnership or other action on the part of Securityholder, and no other corporate, company, partnership or other proceedings on the part of Securityholder are necessary to authorize this Agreement, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or to comply with the provisions hereof.
(d) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Securityholder, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Securityholder and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto, is enforceable against Securityholder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws affecting or relating to creditors’ rights generally, and (b) the availability of injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.
(e) The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and compliance with the provisions hereof do not and will not conflict with, or result in (a) any violation or breach of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, any provision of the organizational documents of Securityholder, if applicable, (b) any material violation or breach of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under any (i) statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation or (ii) judgment, order or decree, in each case, applicable to Securityholder or its properties or assets, or (c) any material violation or breach of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under any material contract, trust, commitment, agreement, understanding, arrangement or restriction of any kind to which Securityholder is a party or by which Securityholder or Securityholder’s assets are bound, in the case of each of clauses (a) through (c), to the extent such violation, breach or other action would prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Securityholder of its, his or her obligations under this Agreement.
6. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the earliest of (a) as to the Securityholder, the Effective Time, (b) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with Article IX thereof, (c) as to Securityholder, such date and time as any amendment or change to the Transaction Agreement is effected without the Securityholder’s prior written consent that (A) decreases the amount, or changes the form, of consideration (including changing any of the terms of the CVR Agreement) payable under the Transaction Agreement or (B) changes the treatment of the Company Convertible Notes under the Transaction Agreement (including the treatment of any Company Ordinary Shares or Company ADS issuable upon conversion of the Company Convertible Notes), whether by changing Section 6.6(a) of the Transaction Agreement or any other sections of the Transaction Agreement of which the holders of Company Convertible Notes are third party beneficiaries, changing the terms of the Company Shareholder Resolution or the Scheme of Arrangement attached to the Transaction Agreement as of the date hereof, or otherwise; provided, that such termination shall only be effective if Securityholder provides Purchaser with written notice of such termination within ten Business Days after
D-3

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the Securityholder is notified in writing by the Purchaser of such amendment or change, or (d) as to Securityholder, the written agreement of Purchaser and Securityholder. In the event of the termination of this Agreement, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void, there shall be no liability on the part of any of the parties, and all rights and obligations of each party hereto shall cease; provided, however, that (i) no such termination of this Agreement shall relieve any party hereto from any liability for any Fraud or Willful Breach of any provision of this Agreement prior to such termination and (ii) Sections 9 through 16 shall survive such termination, and in the case of Section 10, only with respect to specific performance of the other surviving provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 1 shall terminate on the End Date, as such term is defined in the Transaction Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, including as such date may be extended pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(i) thereof.
7. No Solicitation; General Covenants.
(a) Subject to Section 9, Securityholder shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and other controlled Affiliates not to, and direct its external advisors not to: (a) solicit, seek, initiate, knowingly encourage, or knowingly facilitate any inquiries regarding, or the making of, any submission or announcement of a proposal or offer that constitutes, or is reasonably likely to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal; (b) engage in, continue, or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any proposal or offer that constitutes, or is reasonably likely to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal; (c) enter into any agreement, agreement in principle, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, or similar arrangement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal; or (d) take any action that a Representative of the Company is prohibited from taking pursuant to Section 6.2(a) of the Transaction Agreement.
