Good day,
As announced this morning in a joint press release (attached), Harmony Biosciences Holdings, Inc. (“Harmony”), a pharmaceutical company dedicated to developing and commercializing innovative therapies for patients with rare neurological diseases, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Zynerba Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

The deal is expected to close by the fourth quarter of 2023, subject to customary closing conditions.

Your partnership has been invaluable to Zynerba and we believe that Harmony is uniquely positioned to support the completion of the RECONNECT trial and take Zygel to the regulatory finish line with your continued support along the way.
Our Zynerba team members will remain your point of contact for the immediate future and at the appropriate time, I will introduce you to any new contacts. I am happy to address any questions or concerns you have about this news and encourage you to reach out to me at [*****].
Sincerely,
/s/ Xxxxxxx X’Xxxxx | |
