TABLE OF CONTENTS. State Takeover Laws. A number of states (including Delaware, where Boulder is incorporated) have adopted takeover laws and regulations that purport, to varying degrees, to be applicable to attempts to acquire securities of corporations that are incorporated in such states or that have substantial assets, stockholders, principal executive offices or principal places of business therein. Section 203 of the DGCL prevents certain “business combinations” with an “interested stockholder” (generally, any person who owns or has the right to acquire 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock) for a period of three years following the time such person became an interested stockholder, unless, among other things, prior to the time the interested stockholder became such, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction in which the interested stockholder became such. Boulder has, in its certificate of incorporation, opted out of Section 203 of the DGCL, and therefore Section 203 of the DGCL is inapplicable to the Transactions. The Purchaser has not attempted to comply with any other state takeover laws in connection with the Offer or the Merger. To the extent that the provisions of other state takeover statutes purport to apply to the Offer or the Merger, the Purchaser believes that such laws conflict with federal law and constitute an unconstitutional burden on interstate commerce. However, the Purchaser reserves the right to challenge the validity or applicability of any state law allegedly applicable to the Offer, the Merger, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, and nothing in this Offer to Purchase or any action taken in connection herewith is intended as a waiver of that right.

TABLE OF CONTENTS. Court might raise objections to the Offer or the Merger on antitrust grounds, or, if such objections are raised, what the result will be. State Takeover Laws ARMO is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. In general, Section 203 of the DGCL (“Section 203”) prevents a Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” (defined to include mergers and certain other actions) with an “interested stockholder” (including a person who owns or has the right to acquire 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock) for a period of three years following the date such person became an “interested stockholder” unless, among other things, the “business combination” is approved by the board of directors of such corporation before such person became an “interested stockholder.” The Offer. The ARMO Board approved the Merger Agreement provides that Purchaser will commence and the Offer as promptly as practicable after transactions contemplated therein, and the date of the Merger Agreement, but in no event later than December 4, 2015. The Offer is subject only to the satisfaction of the Minimum Condition and satisfaction or waiver of the other Offer Conditions that are restrictions on “business combinations” described in Section 203 are inapplicable to the Merger Agreement and the Transactions. ARMO conducts business in a number of states throughout the United States, some of which have enacted takeover laws. We do not know whether any of these laws will, by their terms, apply to the Offer or the Merger and have not attempted to comply with any such laws. Should any person seek to apply any state takeover law, we will take such action as then appears desirable, which may include challenging the validity or applicability of any such statute in appropriate court proceedings. In the event any person asserts that the takeover laws of any state are applicable to the Offer or the Merger, and an appropriate court does not determine that it is inapplicable or invalid as applied to the Offer or the Merger, we may be required to file certain information with, or receive approvals from, the relevant state authorities. In addition, if enjoined, we may be unable to accept for payment any Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer, or be delayed in continuing or consummating the Offer and the Merger. In such case, we may not be obligated to accept for payment any Shares tendered in the Offer. See Section 15 “Conditions of the Offer.” Subject Going Private Transactions The SEC has adopted Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, which is applicable to certain “going private” transactions, and which may under certain circumstances be applicable to the satisfaction Merger or another business combination following the purchase of the Minimum Condition and the other Offer Conditions that are described in Section 15 — “Conditions of the Offer,” the Merger Agreement provides that Purchaser will, and Parent will cause Purchaser to, accept for payment all Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Offer promptly after the Expiration Date, as it may be extended pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement (the “Acceptance Time”). Parent and Purchaser expressly reserve the right to waive any Offer Condition, to increase the Offer Price or to make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer, except that the prior written consent of Xxxxxxxxx is required for Parent and Purchaser to: • waive the Minimum Condition, the Antitrust Law Conditions or the Governmental Entity Condition; or • make any change in the terms or conditions of the Offer that: • changes the form of consideration to be paid in the Offer; • except as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, decreases the Offer Price or the number of Shares sought in the Offer; • extends the Offer, other than in a manner contemplated by the Merger Agreement; • imposes conditions to the Offer other than the Offer Conditions; • modifies the Offer Conditions; or • amends any other term or condition of the Offer in any manner which we seek to acquire the remaining Shares not then held by us. We believe that is adverse to Rule 13e-3 under the holders of Shares. The Merger Agreement contains provisions to govern the circumstances in which Purchaser is required or permitted to extend the Offer. Specifically, the Merger Agreement provides that Purchaser shall extend the Offer: • for any period required by any law or any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or its staff or Nasdaq; • for successive extension periods of up to ten business days each (but no later than the second business day prior to the Outside Date, as it may Exchange Act will not be extended pursuant applicable to the Merger Agreement), in the event that as of any scheduled Expiration Date any Offer Condition has not been satisfied or waived, provided that ifbecause (i) we were not, at the time the Merger Agreement was executed, and are not, an affiliate of ARMO for purposes of the scheduled Expiration Date, (i) all of the Offer Conditions (other than the Minimum Condition) are satisfied and Exchange Act; (ii) all comments of the SEC or its staff applicable to the Offer (including documents related to the Offer) have been resolved and no rule, regulation or interpretations of the SEC or its staff applicable to the Offer would require Parent or Purchaser to extend the Offer, then Purchaser will only be required to extend the Offer and its Expiration Date beyond the then-scheduled Expiration Date for up to two additional periods not to exceed an aggregate of 20 business days; and • in the event we anticipate that the Chief Operating Officer of Parent delivers a written notice to Xxxxxxxxx no later than 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the next business day Merger will be effected as soon as practicable after the then scheduled expiration date consummation of the Offer (and in any event within one year following the “Financing Extension Notice”consummation of the Offer); and (iii) in accordance with the terms of Merger, stockholders will receive the Merger Agreementsame price per Share as the Offer Price.

TABLE OF CONTENTS. The sought. However, except for observance of the waiting periods and the obtaining of the required approvals summarized under “Antitrust Compliance” below in this Section 16, we do not anticipate delaying the purchase of Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer pending the outcome of any such matter. There can be no assurance that any such approval or action, if needed, will be obtained or, if obtained, that it will be obtained without substantial conditions; and there can be no assurance that, in the event that such approvals were not obtained or such other actions were not taken, adverse consequences might not result to Loxo Oncology’s business or that certain parts of Loxo Oncology’s business might not have to be disposed of or held separate, any of which may give us the right to terminate the Offer at any Expiration Date without accepting for payment any Shares validly tendered (and not properly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer. The Merger Agreement provides that Purchaser will commence Our obligation under the Offer as promptly as practicable after the date of the Merger Agreement, but in no event later than December 4, 2015. The Offer to accept for payment and pay for Shares is subject only to the satisfaction of Offer Conditions, including, among other conditions, the Minimum Condition and satisfaction or waiver of the other Offer Conditions that are described in Antitrust Condition. See Section 15 “Conditions of the Offer.” Subject Antitrust Compliance Under the HSR Act (including the related rules and regulations that have been promulgated thereunder by the FTC), certain acquisition transactions, including Purchaser’s purchase of Shares pursuant to the satisfaction Offer, may not be consummated until certain information and documentary material has been furnished for review by the FTC and the Antitrust Division of the Minimum Condition DOJ (the “Antitrust Division”) and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied. Lilly and Loxo Oncology filed their respective Premerger Notification and Report Forms with the FTC and the Antitrust Division on January 16, 2019. Under the HSR Act, Purchaser’s purchase of the Shares pursuant to the Offer is subject to an initial waiting period that will expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on January 31, 2019. However, the initial waiting period may be terminated prior to such date and time by the FTC, or Purchaser and Loxo Oncology may receive a request (a “Second Request”) for additional information or documentary material from either the FTC or the Antitrust Division prior to such expiration. If the FTC or the Antitrust Division issues a Second Request, the waiting period with respect to the Offer will be extended for an additional period of ten days, which will begin on the date on which Purchaser has substantially complied with the Second Request. Complying with a Second Request can take a significant period of time. Even though the waiting period is not affected by a Second Request to Loxo Oncology or by Loxo Oncology supplying the requested information, Loxo Oncology is obliged to respond to the request within a reasonable time. If the ten-day waiting period expires on a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday, then such waiting period will be extended until 11:59 p.m. of the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday. Only one extension of the waiting period pursuant to a Second Request is authorized by the HSR Act. After that time, the waiting period may be extended only by court order or with our consent. The FTC or the Antitrust Division may terminate the additional ten-day waiting period before its expiration. The FTC and the Antitrust Division frequently scrutinize the legality under the U.S. antitrust laws of transactions like the Offer and the Merger. At any time, the FTC or the Antitrust Division could take any action under the antitrust laws that it considers necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking (i) to enjoin the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer, (ii) to enjoin the Merger, (iii) to require Purchaser (or, after completion of the Merger, Lilly) to divest the Shares, or (iv) to require us or Loxo Oncology to divest substantial assets or seek other Offer Conditions that are described in conduct relief. Private parties, as well as state attorneys general, also may bring legal actions under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances. At any time before or after the consummation of the Merger, notwithstanding the early termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, any state or private party could seek to enjoin the consummation of the Merger or seek other structural or conduct relief or damages.

Parent and Purchaser expressly reserve the right to waive any Offer Condition, to increase the Offer Price or to make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer, except that the prior written consent of Xxxxxxxxx is required for Parent and Purchaser to: • waive the Minimum Condition, the Antitrust Law Conditions or the Governmental Entity Condition; or • make any change in the terms or conditions of the Offer that: • changes the form of consideration to be paid in the Offer; • except as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, decreases the Offer Price or the number of Shares sought in the Offer; • extends the Offer, other than in a manner contemplated by the Merger Agreement; • imposes conditions to the Offer other than the Offer Conditions; • modifies the Offer Conditions; or • amends any other term or condition of the Offer in any manner that is adverse to the holders of Shares. The Merger Agreement contains provisions to govern the circumstances in which Purchaser is required or permitted to extend the Offer. Specifically, the Merger Agreement provides that Purchaser shall extend the Offer: • for any period required by any law or any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or its staff or Nasdaq; • for successive extension periods of up to ten business days each (but no later than the second business day prior to the Outside Date, as it may be extended pursuant to the Merger Agreement), in the event that as of any scheduled Expiration Date any Offer Condition has not been satisfied or waived, provided that if, at the time of the scheduled Expiration DateSpecial Meeting. Abstentions, broker non-votes or other failures to vote (including the failure of a shareholder who holds shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee to give voting instructions to that bank, broker or other nominee) are not considered votes cast and therefore will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the adjournment proposal. Under NYSE rules, banks, brokers or other nominees who hold shares in “street name” for a beneficial owner of those shares typically have the authority to vote in their discretion on “routine” proposals when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners. However, banks, brokers or other nominees are not allowed to exercise their voting discretion with respect to the approval of matters that the NYSE determines to be “non-routine.” Generally, a broker non-vote occurs on an item when (i) all a bank, broker or other nominee has discretionary authority to vote on one or more “routine” proposals to be voted on at a meeting of stockholders, but is not permitted to vote on other “non-routine” proposals without instructions from the beneficial owner of the Offer Conditions (other than the Minimum Condition) are satisfied shares and (ii) the beneficial owner fails to provide the bank, broker or other nominee with such instructions. Under applicable NYSE rules, all comments of the SEC or its staff applicable to the Offer (including documents related to the Offer) have been resolved and no rule, regulation or interpretations proposals in this proxy statement/prospectus are non-routine matters. Because none of the SEC proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting are routine matters for which brokers may have discretionary authority to vote, we do not expect any broker non-votes at the Special Meeting. As a result, if you hold your shares in “street name,” your shares will not be represented and will not be voted on any matter unless you affirmatively instruct your bank, broker or its staff applicable other nominee how to the Offer would require Parent or Purchaser to extend the Offer, then Purchaser will only be required to extend the Offer and its Expiration Date beyond the then-scheduled Expiration Date for up to two additional periods not to exceed an aggregate of 20 business days; and • vote your shares in the event that the Chief Operating Officer of Parent delivers a written notice to Xxxxxxxxx no later than 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the next business day after the then scheduled expiration date one of the Offer (the “Financing Extension Notice”) in accordance with the terms ways indicated by your bank, broker or other nominee. It is therefore critical that you cast your vote by instructing your bank, broker or other nominee on how to vote. The NYSE rules governing brokers’ discretionary authority will not permit brokers to exercise discretionary authority regarding any of the Merger Agreementproposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting.

We have determined and agreed with the Company that the Offer and Merger meet the jurisdictional thresholds of reporting under the HSR Act and are therefore subject to the provisions of the HSR Act. The applicable HSR Act waiting period will expire on April 8, 2010, unless Intersil receives early termination or a request for additional information. We have also determined and agreed with the Company that the antitrust, competition or merger control laws of jurisdictions outside of the United States will not apply to the acquisition of Shares in the Offer or the Merger. The Company has informed us that, as of February 28, 2010, there were (i) 22,133,102 Shares outstanding, (ii) 1,317,155 Shares outstanding in the form of restricted shares issued under restricted stock awards granted under the Company’s stock plans, and (iii) 1,555,512 Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options which vest on or before July 20, 2010. Based upon the foregoing, we believe the Minimum Condition would be satisfied if at least 12,502,841 Shares are validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date, assuming no additional Share issuances by the Company (including pursuant to option exercises). The actual number of Shares required to be tendered to satisfy the Minimum Condition will depend upon the actual number of Shares outstanding at the Expiration Date and the number of Shares tendered in the Offer pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described herein as to which delivery has not been completed.
