“We are ready and eager to welcome Eidos back into BridgeBio’s ecosystem of scientific innovation,” said Neil Kumar, Ph.D., founder and CEO of BridgeBio and CEO of Eidos. “We believe this merger will allow us to fully unlock the potential of acoramidis, the investigational therapy Eidos is developing to target transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis (ATTR), creating value for patients and investors. I’d like to thank BridgeBio and Eidos stockholders for their support and their overwhelming approval of this transaction.”
Holders of Eidos common stock may elect to receive, for each share of Eidos common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (the “Effective Time”) that is not owned by BridgeBio or any of its subsidiaries and that is not a restricted share award, either (1) 1.85 shares of common stock of BridgeBio (the “Stock Consideration”) or (2) $73.26 in cash (the “Cash Consideration” and, together with the Stock Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”), subject to proration.

Any Eidos stockholders who do not make a proper election by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 21, 2021 will be deemed to have elected to receive the Stock Consideration for their shares of Eidos common stock.
