The voting results of the holders of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company held by the Company’s shareholders other than Sumitovant or its affiliates are as follows:

For	Against	Abstain	Broker Non-Votes
32,306,403	2,259,136	44,339	-

The Merger Proposal was approved, receiving the affirmative vote of (i) approximately 97.32% of the Company common shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on the Merger Proposal and voting at the Special General Meeting (such vote, the “General Shareholder Approval”) and (ii) approximately 68.45% of Company common shares issued and outstanding held by the Company’s shareholders other than Sumitovant or its affiliates (such vote, the “Minority Shareholder Approval” and together with the General Shareholder Approval, the “Required Shareholder Approval”).

A non-binding, advisory proposal to approve specified compensation that may become payable to the Company’s named executive officers in connection with the completion of the Merger.

For	Against	Abstain	Broker Non-Votes
74,048,487	10,234,450	368,122	-

This proposal was approved, receiving the affirmative vote of approximately 87.85% of the Company common shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on such proposal and voting at the Special General Meeting.

In connection with the Special General Meeting, the Company also solicited proxies with respect to a proposal to adjourn the Special General Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Special General Meeting to approve the Merger Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”). Because the Required Shareholder Approval was obtained for the Merger Proposal, as noted above, the Adjournment Proposal was rendered moot and not presented.

Now that the Company’s shareholders have approved the Merger Proposal, the Company expects closing of the Merger to occur within seven business days of the date hereof, subject to satisfaction of all other conditions to closing.
