On June 24, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company, a California corporation (“Parent”), and TTP Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Purchaser”).

The foregoing description of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8–K filed with the SEC on June 24, 2020.
