The consideration paid to shareholders in the transaction was
$10.00 per share in cash, plus one non-transferable contingent
value right (“CVR”) per share, which represents the contractual
right to receive $1.00 per share in cash, payable upon TYMLOS net

royalties or supply payments based on supply of TYMLOS for sale in
Japan) during any consecutive 12-month period prior to December 31,
2025.
As of the tender offer expiration, the shares validly tendered
and not withdrawn represented over 50% of the outstanding shares of
common stock of Radius. Pursuant to the terms of the merger
agreement, the purchaser entity for Gurnet Point and Patient Square
merged with and into Radius, and as a result, Radius has become a
wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Gurnet Point and Patient
Square. Radius will be delisted from the NASDAQ Global Market.
