 by the Compensation Committee,
which is composed solely of independent directors, and are believed to be reasonable and in line with marketplace norms. Accordingly we are seeking approval of the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of the Company approve, solely on an advisory, non-binding basis,
the golden parachute compensation which may be paid to the Company’s named executive officers in connection with the Divestiture, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K in the table
entitled “Golden Parachute Compensation” in the section entitled “Executive Compensation—Quantification of Potential Payments to Certain Named Executive Officers in Connection with the Merger” in the
Company’s proxy statement.”

Stockholders should note that this non-binding proposal regarding
certain Divestiture-related executive compensation arrangements is merely an advisory vote which will not be binding on the Company, our board of directors or Kaken. We will treat approval of the advisory vote as having been obtained if this
proposal receives the affirmative vote, in person or by proxy, of the majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter. Further, the underlying plans and
arrangements are contractual in nature and not, by their terms, subject to stockholder approval. Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the advisory vote, if the Divestiture is consummated, our named executive officers will be eligible to receive
the various change of control payments in accordance with the terms of conditions applicable to those payments.
