On November 14, 2025, Repare announced that it had entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with XenoTherapeutics, Inc. and Xeno Acquisition Corp. (jointly, “Xeno”), pursuant to which Xeno will acquire (the “Arrangement Transaction”) all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Repare (the “Common Shares”). Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, Repare shareholders will receive a cash payment per Common Share that will be determined based upon Repare’s cash balance at closing of the Arrangement Transaction (the “Arrangement Closing”) after deducting certain transaction costs and the aggregate amount of outstanding liabilities (the “Closing Net Cash Amount”).

The upfront portion of the consideration payable under the Gilead Agreement has increased Repare’s cash balance and, therefore, has also increased the estimated Closing Net Cash Amount. Based on Repare’s revised estimate of the Closing Net Cash Amount, it is now currently estimated that each Repare shareholder will receive a cash payment of approximately US$2.20 per Common Share at the Arrangement Closing.
