THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of December 18, 2018 by and among Kyn Therapeutics Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Arrys Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), Arrys Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (such corporation and any predecessor entity thereto, the “Company”), and OrbiMed Private Investments VI, LP, a Delaware Limited Partnership, acting solely in its capacity as the representative of the Company Stockholders and only for the purposes provided herein and for no other purpose (the “Stockholder Representative”). Certain capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein are defined in Article 9 hereof.
RECITALS
A. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company intend to effect a merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”) in accordance with this Agreement and Delaware Law (as defined in Section 1.1 below). Upon consummation of the Merger, Merger Sub will cease to exist, and the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.
B. The parties intend, by approving resolutions authorizing this Agreement, to adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-2(g), and to cause the Merger to qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.
C. The board of directors of Parent (i) has determined that the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fair to, and in the best interests of, Parent and the Parent Stockholders, (ii) has deemed advisable and approved this Agreement, the Merger, and other actions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iii) has determined to recommend that the Parent Stockholders vote to approve the this Merger and the transactions contemplated hereunder.
D. The board of directors of the Company (i) has determined that the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and the Company Stockholders, (ii) has deemed advisable and approved this Agreement, the Merger, and other actions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iii) has determined to recommend that the Company Stockholders vote to approve the this Merger and the transactions contemplated hereunder.
E. The board of directors of Merger Sub (i) has determined that the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fair to, and in the best interests of, Merger Sub and its sole stockholder, (ii) has deemed advisable and approved this Agreement, the Merger, and other actions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iii) has determined to recommend that the sole stockholder of Merger Sub vote to adopt this Agreement and thereby approve the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereunder.
F. Pursuant to the Merger, among other things, (i) all of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock shall be terminated and converted into the right to receive the consideration set forth herein, (ii) all Company Options shall be terminated and options to purchase Parent Common Stock substituted therefor and (iii) any other rights to acquire Company Capital Stock shall be automatically terminated for no consideration.
G. As an inducement to the willingness of Parent and the Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement (but not pursuant to any prior agreement with the Company, Merger Sub or Parent), holders of at least ninety-nine percent (99%) of the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock have indicated that they expect to deliver, following the approval and adoption of this Agreement by the board of directors of the Company and within twenty-four (24) hour(s) following execution and delivery of this Agreement, (x) their irrevocable approval and adoption of this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to a written consent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Stockholder Consent”) and (y) a specified undertaking, representations, warranties, releases and waivers, and a joinder, appointment, confidentiality agreement, release and waiver in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Stockholder Joinder Agreement”), each signed and dated as of the date hereof, pursuant to and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Delaware Law and the Company Charter Documents.
H. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and the Merger Sub, on the other hand, desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements in connection with the Merger.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, covenants and other promises set forth herein, the mutual benefits to be gained by the performance thereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and accepted, the parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
THE MERGER
1.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“Delaware Law”), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. The surviving corporation after the Merger is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation.”
1.2 Effective Time. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place as promptly as practicable after the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto, but no later than two (2) Business Days following satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI hereof (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions). The date upon which the Closing actually occurs shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date”. On the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a Certificate of Merger, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Certificate of Merger”), with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in accordance with the applicable provisions of Delaware Law (the time of filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (or such other time as agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company and specified in the Certificate of Merger) shall be referred to herein as the “Effective Time”).
2
1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of Delaware Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as otherwise agreed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and the Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and the Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.
1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.
(a) Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation at and as of the Effective Time shall be amended to conform to the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and as provided in such certificate of incorporation; provided, however, that at the Effective Time, Article I of such certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: “The name of the corporation is Arrys Therapeutics, Inc.”
(b) Unless otherwise determined by Parent, immediately following the Effective Time, the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation shall adopt the bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, to be its bylaws until amended in accordance with the provisions thereof and applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the name of the Surviving Corporation shall still be Arrys Therapeutics, Inc.
1.5 Directors and Officers.
(a) Directors. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time, each to hold the office of a director of the Surviving Corporation in accordance with the provisions of Delaware Law, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation or removal.
(b) Officers. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the provisions of the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

1.6 Effect of Merger on the Securities of the Company.
(a) Effect on Capital Stock of the Company. At and as of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, the Company, the holders of shares of Company Capital Stock or any other Person, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 1.6:
(i) Conversion of Company Series A Preferred Stock. Each outstanding share of Company Series A Preferred Stock (other than any Dissenting Shares) shall be cancelled and extinguished and be converted automatically into the right to receive (following the surrender of the certificate representing such share of Company Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 1.8 or delivery of an affidavit of loss and indemnity as provided in Section 1.10) a number of shares of Parent Series A-1 Preferred Stock equal to 1.5801 (the “Exchange Ratio”) (with the aggregate number of shares of Parent Series A-1 Preferred Stock rounded down to a whole number of shares on a holder-by-holder basis) as set forth on Schedule 1.6 hereto.
(ii) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Subject to Section 1.6(c), each outstanding share of Company Common Stock (other than any Dissenting Shares) shall be cancelled and extinguished and be converted automatically into the right to receive (following the surrender of the certificate representing such share of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 1.8 or delivery of an affidavit of loss and indemnity as provided in Section 1.10) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (with the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock rounded down to a whole number of shares on a holder-by-holder basis) as set forth on Schedule 1.6 hereto.
(b) Treatment of Company Options.
(i) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger, without any action on the part of any party hereto or any holder thereof, each Company Option (whether or not then vested or exercisable) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be substituted and exchanged at the Effective Time for an option denominated in shares of Parent Common Stock, and the (i) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each such option shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio (with the aggregate number of shares subject to an option of Parent rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares on a grant-by-grant basis) as set forth on Schedule 1.6 hereto and (ii) the exercise or purchase price per share of Parent Common Stock shall equal the quotient of the exercise price of such Company Option divided by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. The assumption and adjustment of the Company Options in accordance with this Section 1.6(b)(i) shall be done in a manner compliant with the requirements of Sections 424 and 409A of the Code and (ii) shall preserve the compensation element of each Company Option as of the Effective Time.
(ii) Each substituted and exchanged Company Option shall be deemed vested immediately following the Effective Time as to the same percentage of the total number of shares subject thereto as it was vested immediately prior to the Effective Time, and no acceleration of vesting shall occur as a result of the Merger. Prior to the Closing, Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of Company Options for which shares of Parent Common Stock are required to be reserved for issuance. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall take all actions necessary in order to effect the provisions of this Section 1.6(b), including, without limitation, seeking all necessary approvals, obtaining waivers of acceleration that may result from the Merger under any award of Company Options and providing any notice required
4
under the terms of the applicable stock option plans or agreements. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver to such holder of Company Options a new stock option award agreement on Parent’s standard form option agreement; it being acknowledged and agreed, however, that the vesting schedule shall be consistent with the existing option agreement to which such Company Options are subject.
(c) Certain Matters. No share of Company Capital Stock (other than Dissenting Shares) or Company Options shall be deemed to be outstanding or to have any rights other than those set forth in Section 1.6 hereof after the Effective Time. Parent shall be entitled to rely on the Spreadsheet in making distributions to Company Stockholders pursuant to Section 1.8(b) and in granting options to purchase Parent Common Stock to holders of Company Options.
(d) Withholding Taxes. The Company, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Company Capital Stock or Company Options such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Persons in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made.
(e) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares of common stock of Merger Sub shall thereafter evidence ownership of such shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
1.7 Dissenting Shares.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Capital Stock held by a holder who has properly demanded and perfected appraisal rights for such holder’s shares under Delaware Law and who, as of the Effective Time, has not effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s appraisal rights under Delaware Law (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the consideration for Company Capital Stock set forth in Section 1.6(a) hereof, but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as are provided by Delaware Law. Parent shall be entitled to retain any such consideration not paid on account of such Dissenting Shares pending resolution of the claims of the holders thereof, and the Non-Dissenting Stockholders shall not be entitled to any portion thereof.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.7(a) hereof, if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s appraisal rights under Delaware Law, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the consideration for Company Capital Stock, as applicable, set forth in Section 1.6(a) hereof, without interest thereon, and subject to the provisions of Section 1.8, upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares.
5
(c) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written notice of intent to demand appraisal under Delaware Law or other applicable Law or demand for appraisal under Delaware Law or other applicable Law received by the Company, and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such notices or demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any such notices or demands or offer to settle or settle any such notices or demands without Parent’s prior written consent.
1.8 Mechanics of Exchange.
(a) Parent to Provide Shares. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall have available certificates evidencing the Merger Shares issuable pursuant to Section 1.6(a).
(b) Exchange Procedures. Following the Closing, each Company Stockholder shall surrender the certificates representing shares of Company Capital Stock (the “Certificates”) (or an affidavit of loss and indemnity as provided in Section 1.10) in exchange for certificates representing the Merger Shares issuable to such Company Stockholder pursuant to Section 1.6(a) and Section 1.6(c). Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation (or an affidavit of loss and indemnity as provided in Section 1.10) to Parent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate or certificates representing the number of Merger Shares to which such holder is then entitled in accordance with Section 1.6(a) and Section 1.6(c), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, each outstanding Certificate will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence the ownership of the number of Merger Shares into which such shares of Company Capital Stock shall have been so converted, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.
(c) Transfers of Ownership. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of Company Capital Stock that was outstanding prior to the Effective Time.
(d) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.8, neither the Surviving Corporation nor any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company Capital Stock or any other Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any merger consideration or other amounts remaining unclaimed by Company Stockholders three (3) years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent free and clear of any Liens.
(e) Transfers of Ownership. If any certificate for Merger Shares is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange will have paid to Parent or any agent designated by it any transfer or other taxes
6
required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for Merger Shares in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Parent or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable. Any such issuance in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered shall only be made in compliance with applicable federal, state and foreign laws.
1.9 No Further Ownership Rights. The Merger Shares payable for shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to be in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock. After the Effective Time, each Certificate presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article 1. No interest shall accrue or be paid on any consideration payable upon the surrender of a Certificate which immediately before the Effective Time represented outstanding (or immediately exercisable for) shares of Company Capital Stock.
1.10 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Instruments. In the event any Certificates evidencing shares of Company Capital Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of any consideration with respect to the shares of Company Capital Stock previously represented by such Certificates, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to provide an appropriate affidavit with respect to such Certificate.
1.11 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation are hereby authorized, empowered and directed in the name of and on behalf of the Company to execute and deliver any and all things and to take such action as is necessary or desirable to vest or to perfect or confirm title to such property or rights in the Surviving Corporation, and otherwise to carry out the purposes and provisions of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 2
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.
As of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and the Merger Sub, subject only to such exceptions as are specifically disclosed in the Schedule of Exceptions (each of which disclosures, in order to be effective, shall indicate the Section and, if applicable, the Subsection of this Article 2 to which it relates, unless and only to the extent the relevance to other representations and warranties is readily apparent from the actual text of the disclosures without independent knowledge on the part of the reader regarding the disclosures) delivered by the Company to Parent (the “Company Schedule of Exceptions”) concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the matters specified in this Article 2:
7
2.1 Organization of the Company. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under Delaware Law. The Company has the corporate power to own its properties and to carry on its business as currently conducted. The Company is duly qualified or licensed to do business and in good standing as a foreign corporation (if applicable) in each jurisdiction in which it conducts business, except in those jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has made available to Parent (i) a true and correct copy of its certificate of incorporation and bylaws (collectively, the “Company Charter Documents”), and (ii) a true and correct copy of the minutes of meetings and other actions of the board of directors (or other similar body), including any committees of the board of directors (or other similar body), and the stockholders of the Company in the possession of the Company. Section 2.1 of the Company Schedule of Exceptions lists the directors and officers of the Company. The operations now being conducted by the Company are not now and have never been conducted by the Company under any other name. The Company is not in violation of any of the provisions of the Company Charter Documents.
2.2 Company Capital Structure.
(a) As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 30,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, 4,315,068 shares of which are issued and outstanding as of the date of this Agreement and owned of record by the holders and in the amounts set forth on Section 2.2(a)(1) of the Company Schedule of Exceptions, and 21,000,000 shares of Company Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, all of which are designated Series A Preferred Stock, all of which are issued and outstanding as of the date of this Agreement and owned of record by the holders and in the amounts set forth on Section 2.2(a)(2) of the Company Schedule of Exceptions. All shares of Company Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of Company Common Stock on a 1:1 basis. All outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights created by statute, the Company Charter Documents, or any Contract to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, and have been issued, in all material respects, in compliance with applicable federal, state and foreign Laws. The Company has not repurchased any shares of Company Capital Stock except in compliance in all material respects with all applicable federal, state, foreign and local Laws, including federal, state and foreign securities Laws, and any Contracts applicable thereto. There are no declared or accrued but unpaid dividends with respect to any shares of Company Capital Stock. Other than as disclosed in the Schedules referred to in this Section 2.2(a), the Company has no capital stock authorized, issued or outstanding. Other than as disclosed in the Schedules referred to in this Section 2.2(a), no vesting provisions applicable to any shares of Company Options or to any other rights to purchase Company Capital Stock will accelerate as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(b) Except for the Company’s 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Company has never adopted or maintained any stock option plan or other plan providing for equity compensation of any Person. The Company has never granted any options to purchase Company Capital Stock or any other type of stock award other than pursuant to the Plan. The Company has reserved 2,054,794 shares of Company Common Stock for issuance to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company pursuant to the Plan. Of such reserved shares of Company Common Stock, (i) 1,811,892 shares of which are issuable, as of the date hereof, upon the exercise of outstanding, unexercised options granted under the Plan, (ii) no
8
shares of which have been issued, as of the date hereof, upon the exercise of options granted under the Plan, and (iii) no shares have been issued, as of the date hereof, pursuant to restricted stock agreements under the Plan. For each outstanding Company Option or other stock award granted under the Plan or otherwise, Section 2.2(b) of the Company Schedule of Exceptions sets forth, as of the date of this Agreement, the name of the holder of such Company Option or stock award, the domicile address of such holder, the grant date, the vesting commencement date (if different from the grant date), the number and type of shares of Company Capital Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Company Option or stock award, the exercise price of such Company Option or the value at which such stock award was granted, the type of Company Option or stock award (including, in the case of options, whether an option is intended to qualify as an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Code), the vesting schedule for such Company Option or stock award, including the extent vested to date and to be vested as of the Effective Time (reflecting the passage of time and any acceleration of vesting for such option or stock award that would result upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and an explanation of any acceleration feature) and special acceleration of vesting, if any, as disclosed in Section 2.2(b) of the Company Schedule of Exceptions. All such Company Options and other stock awards have been issued in compliance in all material respects with all applicable federal, state and foreign Laws and all applicable Contracts.
