Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On June 28, 2023, Sigilon Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sigilon” or the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Eli Lilly and Company, an Indiana corporation (“Parent”), and Parent’s wholly owned subsidiary, Shenandoah Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Purchaser will commence a tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase any and all of the issued and outstanding shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company in exchange for (a) $14.92 per Share, net to the stockholder in cash, without interest (the “Closing Amount”), plus (b) one contingent value right per Share (each, a “CVR”), which represents the contractual right to receive up to three contingent payments for an aggregate of up to $111.64 per CVR, net to the stockholder in cash, without interest and less any tax withholding, upon the achievement of certain specified milestones in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Contingent Value Rights Agreement (the “CVR Agreement”) to be entered into between Parent and an agent selected by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Rights Agent”) (the Closing Amount plus one CVR, collectively, or any higher amount per Share paid pursuant to the Offer, the “Offer Price”).

Following the consummation of the Offer, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Purchaser will merge with and into the Company as provided in the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”), with the Company being the surviving corporation. The Merger Agreement contemplates that the Merger will be effected pursuant to Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), which permits completion of the Merger without a stockholder vote promptly following consummation of the Offer. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each Share (other than (i) Shares held in the treasury of the Company or owned by Parent, Purchaser or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or Purchaser or (ii) Shares that are held by stockholders who are entitled to and properly demand appraisal for such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Offer Price from Purchaser (the “Merger Consideration”).

~~Item~~The ~~1.02~~obligation ~~Termination~~of Parent and Purchaser to consummate the Offer is subject to the condition that there be validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer a ~~Material~~number ~~Definitive~~of Shares that, together with the number of Shares, if any, then owned beneficially by Parent and Purchaser (together with their wholly owned subsidiaries) would represent a majority of the Shares outstanding as of the consummation of the Offer (the “Minimum Tender Condition”). The Minimum Tender Condition may not be waived by Purchaser without the prior written consent of the Company. The obligation of Purchaser to consummate the Offer is also subject to other customary conditions. In addition, the obligation of Purchaser to consummate the Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company (subject to certain materiality exceptions), and material compliance by the Company with its covenants under the Merger Agreement. Consummation of the Offer is not subject to a financing condition.

The Merger Agreement provides for the following treatment of the Company’s equity awards:

~~Item~~The 5foregoing summary of the principal terms of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full copy of the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.071 ~~Submission~~hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The summary and the copy of ~~Matters~~the Merger Agreement are intended to provide information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement and are not intended to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about the Company in its public reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, and this subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by the Company or Parent.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes forward-looking statements that are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by the forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including all statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company and members of its senior management team and can typically be identified by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “predict,” “target,” “potential,” “likely,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “could,” “should,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “project” and similar expressions, as well as variations or negatives of these words. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of risks and uncertainties including, among others, uncertainties as to the timing of the Offer and the completion of the proposed acquisition of the Company; uncertainties as to how many of the Company’s stockholders will tender their Shares in the Offer; the possibility that various closing conditions for the proposed acquisition may not be satisfied or waived, including that a governmental entity may prohibit, delay or refuse to grant approval for the consummation of the proposed acquisition; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; the effects of the proposed acquisition (or the announcement thereof) on the trading price of the Common Stock; relationships with associates, customers, other business partners and key third parties, or governmental entities; transaction costs; risks that the proposed acquisition disrupts current plans and operations of the Company or adversely affects employee retention; the risk that the proposed acquisition of the Company will divert management’s attention from ongoing business operations; changes in the Company’s businesses during the period between announcement and closing of the proposed acquisition; any legal proceedings that may be instituted related to the proposed acquisition; and other risks and uncertainties, including those identified under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, each of which is filed with the SEC and available at www.sec.gov, and other filings that the Company may make with the SEC in the future. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if any of the Company’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected or anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Any forward-looking statements made by the Company in this filing speak only as of the date hereof. Factors or events that could cause actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of them. The Company does not undertake and specifically disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by any applicable securities laws.
