CEO email message to Blueprint employees

E-mail Subject: Blueprint and Sanofi announce combination to accelerate leadership in immunology

From: Kate Haviland

To: All Blueprint employees and contractors

 

*Confidential – Internal Use Only*

Blue Crew,

Since our inception, Blueprint has worked towards our singular mission to alleviate human suffering through innovative and life-changing medicines. We have always measured our success in the number of people around the world whose lives are better, healthier and easier because of the work we do.

And we are delivering on our mission with AYVAKIT®/AYVAKYT® (avapritinib), which is the culmination of more than a decade of pioneering research in systemic mastocytosis (SM). This medicine – that we invented – is now having a profound and meaningful impact on the lives of thousands of patients with SM. Across our industry, this achievement is rare, and I'm incredibly proud of our work together to build a special company that is positively impacting the world.

**Today, we announced that we have reached an agreement to join Sanofi (see attached press release), as we work together to bring the innovation we are driving across our business to more patients around the world.** Sanofi has the resources and reach to make our vision a reality faster and at a larger scale. As many of you know, Sanofi is a global leader in rare diseases and immunology, and has a long history of serving patients around the world and solving important medical needs at scale.

This transaction is an exceptional recognition of the value we collectively have created for patients with the research, development and global commercialization of AYVAKIT, as well as our R&D pipeline, including elenestinib and BLU-808. This next chapter holds the potential to amplify our mission, not change it – and what I ask today is that we all remain grounded in the purpose that brought us here.

As we all process this news, I know that the change it represents will bring forward a range of feelings and questions. That is okay and we will meet this moment together, with honesty, optimism, and empathy, as we always have. I believe this change creates space for new possibilities and a chance to unlock untapped potential.

At Blueprint, it's in our DNA to pioneer new ground. Time and again, as a team we have turned uncharted territory into deep expertise. We have managed significant ambiguity and relentless change to build a truly distinctive company that has and continues to deliver meaningful value. All our effort has led to this very moment of recognition and opportunity.

So what happens now?

What happens next is a continued commitment to transparency, collaboration, and shared understanding – and your voice is an essential part of that. **I invite you to join a company meeting later today at 10:00 am ET / 4:00 pm CET** where we'll share more, answer the questions we can, and navigate this next step together. Please keep an eye out for the calendar invitation this morning.

In addition, later today we will post a dedicated page on Blink with a repository of information, including FAQs for employees as well as approved messages to help you respond to any inquiries from your external stakeholders including customers, business partners and vendors, if needed. Over time, we will update this content when needed, with a commitment to communicate transparently.

Until the transaction officially closes – anticipated in the third quarter of 2025 – both companies will continue to operate independently, guided by our existing leadership and structure. During this time, we must continue to focus on our current priorities and day-to-day responsibilities to meet our commitments to the patients and healthcare providers who rely on us, and to set the foundation for the work we will do together with Sanofi in the future. Our values are deeply rooted and will continue to ground us as we focus on what matters most: delivering on our commitments, making a meaningful difference in the lives of patients, and supporting each other's wellbeing.

If in the coming weeks you receive any inquiries from investors or media, please direct them to Jim Baker, SVP Corporate Affairs. In addition, we ask that all Blueprint employees refrain from any social media postings about the transaction until closing.

I am deeply grateful to have the opportunity to work with such an incredible group of colleagues, who challenge me, who I learn something new from every day, who help me think differently, who make me laugh, and who have shown up day after day to do the hard work. The work you do matters and most importantly, it matters to our patients and their families which is simply captured in the opening from a letter we received from a patient which said, "To my Heros at Blueprint Medicines."

As we step into this next chapter, let's stay grounded in who we are, open to what's possible, and committed to moving forward with our patient-focused purpose. See you later today.

All the best,

Kate

Kate Haviland

President and Chief Executive Officer

FAQ for blueprint employees

***About the transaction***

**1.** **What is the rationale for the transaction?** 

Blueprint and Sanofi are a strong strategic fit, and we believe this complementary combination will accelerate our mission to deliver life-changing medicines to patients. Blueprint's portfolio of mast cell targeted therapies fits seamlessly with Sanofi's global leadership in rare diseases and immunology and inflammation. With exceptional strength in these areas spanning discovery to commercialization, Sanofi will enable us to accelerate our mission and help many more patients around the world.

**2.** **What are the transaction terms? What is a Contingent Value Right (CVR) and how does it work?** 

Under the terms of the agreement, Sanofi will acquire Blueprint for approximately $9.5 billion, or up to $135 per share in total consideration. At close, each shareholder will receive $129 per share in cash, as well as one contingent value right (CVR) per share, each representing the right to receive two potential milestone payments of $2 and $4, respectively.

Contingent value rights are rights granted by an acquirer to a company's shareholders to provide them additional value if future milestones are achieved. CVRs are often used in transactions to recognize the potential value of a development-stage asset where there is some uncertainty of clinical or regulatory success. In this case, the CVRs represent the right to receive two contingent payments if certain development and regulatory milestones for BLU-808 are achieved.

The first clinical development milestone payment is $2 per CVR, payable upon the dosing of the fifth patient in the first Phase 2b Study or the first Phase 3 Study (whichever occurs first) for BLU-808 in any indication. This milestone will need to be achieved by December 31, 2028 in order for the CVR payment to be made.

The second regulatory milestone payment is $4 per CVR, payable upon receipt from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of approval of a new drug application for BLU-808, that is necessary for the commercial marketing and sale of BLU-808 in the United States for any indication. This milestone will need to be achieved by June 30, 2032 in order for the CVR payment to be made.

In the event that either or both milestones are achieved, the CVR will entitle each employee, who holds a CVR on the date of close, to a cash payout of the milestone payment. It's important to note that the CVR is non-tradable, meaning it cannot be bought or sold on the market.

**3.** **Has Sanofi shared their plans for our oncology portfolio?** 

The primary area of focus of our discussions with Sanofi leading to this transaction was our mast cell portfolio, including AYVAKIT, elenestinib and BLU-808, which are all highly aligned with Sanofi's portfolio and vision for leadership in immunology and inflammation. Our oncology programs are also promising, though much earlier in development and in the preclinical setting. We expect Sanofi to assess their strategic fit and opportunities for advancement after the transaction closes.

**4.** **When will the transaction be completed?** 

We expect to complete, or close, the transaction in the third quarter of 2025.

**5.** **What needs to happen before the transaction can be completed?** 

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the valid tender of a majority of outstanding Blueprint shares in the related tender offer and receipt of certain regulatory approvals.

**6.** **What happens next?** 

Blueprint and Sanofi will continue to operate as independent companies until the transaction closes. To fulfill our commitments to the patients, providers and partners who rely on us and to further strengthen the foundation for the work we will do with Sanofi in the future, all of us at Blueprint must continue to focus on our current priorities and day-to-day responsibilities. Until the transaction closes, we will operate our business as usual with our current governance, team and individual scopes of responsibility and reporting structures. As we develop plans for integrating our companies upon closing, we are committed to communicating transparently and continuing to support the wellbeing of our employees.

***About our jobs***

**7.** **How will the two companies be integrated? Will Blueprint be a separate business unit or division of Sanofi following the closing?** 

Until the transaction closes, Blueprint will continue to operate as a separate, independent company, in part due to customary legal requirements. Sanofi has shared that they are impressed with what the Blue Crew has accomplished and excited to build upon our team and welcome us as part of the Sanofi family. We do not yet know how our structure may evolve post-closing. Those plans will be thoughtfully worked through over the next few months before closing. It is common for that level of detail to evolve during this phase of the process and, until closing, no actions are legally permitted to be taken.

During the time between announcement and closing, it's important that all of us continue to focus on our current priorities on meeting our goals to ensure that we continue to serve patients, customers and partners with the same dedication and integrity that we always have. Leaders from both companies will soon begin to work together to develop integration plans that will guide us once the transaction closes. Throughout this process, we are committed to communicating transparently and continuing to support the wellbeing of our employees.

**8.** **Will my responsibilities or performance expectations change?** 

Between now and closing, nothing changes about your role, your responsibilities, performance expectations, or compensation and benefits. We remain an independent company during this period, and that means we will continue to focus on our goals, priorities, and the standards we've already set for this year. Your 2025 goals remain the same, and your contributions matter just as much now as they did before the announcement. Looking ahead, once the deal closes, there may be changes but those shifts, if and when they come, will be rolled out thoughtfully and communicated clearly. If you're unsure about any part of your role, or if your priorities are shifting due to the work we're doing, please talk to your manager.

**9.** **Is there any work that should stop?** 

Until the transaction closes, we will continue to operate as an independent company. This means we will continue to be accountable for operating our business with the same focus, discipline and momentum that got us to this point. Unless you have been specifically informed by your ET member or manager of any changes, you should continue to focus on your day-to-day work. As always, if you have questions or see opportunities for us to operate more effectively or efficiently, please bring them forward to your manager or ET member.

**10.** **Should I seek to engage or work with my counterparts at Sanofi between announcement and closing?** 

Until the transaction closes, we will continue to operate as a separate, independent company. Accordingly, no one, except for members of the integration planning team, should coordinate, discuss business or the transaction, or otherwise engage with your counterparts at Sanofi. Remember, this is business as usual. If anyone at Sanofi reaches out to you, please do not respond and talk with your manager. This is important to help us comply with applicable legal requirements between the announcement and closing.

**11.** **Will any roles be eliminated as a result of the transaction between the announcement and closing? When will we know if any roles will be eliminated following closing?** 

This transaction is strong recognition of the significant accomplishments our team has delivered, and Sanofi has expressed how energized they are to work alongside members of the Blue Crew to bring life-changing innovations to even more patients around the world. Until the transaction closes, which we anticipate to happen in the third quarter, we will operate business as usual and in the ordinary course.

Over the next few months, integration teams staffed by leaders from both companies will work together to begin integration plans. This learning process will take time to develop a thoughtful plan about how to integrate, where to align, and how to best set us up for long-term success. With a transaction of this size, we would expect some organizational changes to occur over time that could impact some people's roles. Importantly, we will be transparent and communicate with you regularly throughout the transition process as we work through more detailed integration plans, including any potential impact for members of the Blue Crew.

**12.** **If my role is eliminated after the transaction closes, will I be offered severance benefits?** 

We have a Change in Control Severance Pay Plan, or a CIC plan, for each country where we employ Blue Crew members. Each CIC Plan provides that if, within one year after a change in control (referred to in the plans as a "sale event"), an employee's role is eliminated, the employee will be eligible for severance benefits as outlined in the plan. These plans are available for your review on the dedicated transaction page we have created on BLINK. Under the CIC Plans, two criteria must be met to trigger severance benefits eligibility. First, the transaction closes and, second, an employee's role is eliminated within one year following the closing. Please note that any employee eligible to receive the severance benefits described in the CIC Plans will ***<u>also</u>*** be eligible for a career transition assistance benefit.

**13.** **Will I be eligible to receive an annual bonus or field team incentive compensation for 2025?** 

If you continue employment through the date that our 2025 annual bonus or final incentive compensation is paid out, you will be eligible to receive a payout based on actual performance. If your role is eliminated following the close but prior to that payment date, then ***<u>in addition to all of the severance benefits</u>*** offered in the CIC plan applicable to you, you will receive your 2025 target annual bonus/field team incentive compensation (less any incentive compensation you have already received), pro-rated for the time you are employed in 2025.

**14.** **What will happen to our Cambridge and Zug office locations? Will any employees have to relocate?** 

No decisions about potential changes to our office locations post-closing have been made at this early point. Over the next few months, we will help Sanofi better understand our business, ways of working and physical space so that thoughtful decisions can be made. In the meantime, we will operate business as usual at all our existing locations. If office locations should change in the future, we will let you know as soon as possible.

**15.** **What happens to recruiting efforts between the announcement and closing? Are existing offers to candidates still valid? What happens to positions in active interviews? What happens to our contractor workforce?** 

We will continue to actively recruit for a defined set of open roles that are essential to supporting this phase of the launch and maintaining the momentum we have built. The Talent Acquisition team will be providing direct updates to hiring managers and candidates related to these prioritized roles in the coming days.

We generally expect that any additional open roles or new backfill requests will be paused through the time between announcement and close and will be part of ongoing integration discussions once they kick-off. We encourage you to talk with your ET member or HR business partner about specific roles or new openings if you have questions or are unsure how to proceed.

The existing offers to candidates who have accepted but not yet started are not impacted, and we look forward to welcoming these new hires. Any offers that are outstanding and pending a candidate decision are also not impacted. In addition, we will continue our relationships with our contractor workforce to the extent they remain aligned with active business priorities during this time between the announcement and close.

Our Talent Acquisition team will be in close contact with all candidates that are active across roles as well as our extended workforce partners to ensure supportive candidate and workforce engagement and clarity. In addition to the Talent Acquisition team, hiring managers can also reach out to your ET member or HR business partner for additional support if needed.

***About compensation and benefits***

**16.** **Will our compensation and benefits change as a result of the transaction (medical, 401K, leave, etc.)?** 

Between the announcement and closing, we will remain two separate entities, and there will generally be no change to your compensation and benefits during this time as a result of our announcement of the transaction. Sanofi has committed that for as long as employees remain employed and for at least a one-year period after closing, it will maintain for each employee (a) at least the same base salary and target cash bonus / cash incentive compensation, and (b) health, welfare and retirement (e.g., 401(k)) benefits that, taken together, are either (i) at least as favorable as those types of Blueprint's benefits, or (ii) the same benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Sanofi or its subsidiaries. Following closing, we will begin an integration period where Blueprint employees will have an opportunity to learn more about Sanofi's offerings. Throughout this process of integration, we will communicate transparently, sharing new information as we have it.

**17.** **What will happen to my Blueprint equity?** 

Employee equity includes shares acquired through Employee Stock Purchase Program purchases, purchases on the stock market, and settlement of vested restricted stock units (RSUs), as well as stock option and RSU equity awards.

After closing, any shares that are owned and equity awards that are vested will be exchangeable for a cash payment. In addition, any equity awards that were granted before 2025 and are unvested will be fully accelerated and converted to cash. For awards granted in 2025, any vested portions will be exchangeable for cash at close, plus 50% of the unvested portions will vest and be converted to cash at close. The remaining 50% of the unvested award will vest upon the earliest of six months after closing or elimination of the employee's role as described in the applicable CIC Plan.

Shares, including RSUs will be paid out at $129 per share. Stock options will be paid out at the difference between $129 per option and its associated exercise price. Each share that is converted to cash will also have a CVR, which is a promise of future payment if certain milestones are met (see question #2). Cash payments will be paid on the first payroll after closing or vesting, as applicable.

**18.** **Why will the payout of 50% of my unvested 2025 equity award be delayed until 6 months after closing instead of paying out at closing?** 

2025 equity award grants generally have a 4-year vesting schedule completing in 2029. While 50% of these unvested awards will not pay out at closing, Blueprint and Sanofi have agreed to accelerate and pay out such unvested equity awards before 2029 to recognize the significant contributions of Blueprint employees in building the company and advancing our business. In addition, Sanofi has expressed how energized they are to work alongside members of the Blue Crew, and the payout structure supports Sanofi's vision for continuity during integration and ultimately the long-term success of our business.

**19.** **How will the announcement of the transaction impact our Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP)?** 

With respect to the offering period under the ESPP that ended on May 31, 2025, your options under the ESPP will be exercised to purchase shares of common stock. Shares of common stock acquired under the ESPP will be treated like other shares of common stock in the transaction. There will be no further offerings under the ESPP, and any remaining cash contributions to the ESPP that were not used in connection with the final option exercise will be returned to you.

**20.** **Will we still complete the mid-year 2025 performance review cycle, including promotions?** 

The mid-year performance conversations between employees and managers should be completed as planned. These discussions are a core part of how we support growth, recognize contributions, and stay aligned. Given the timing of the acquisition and the transition ahead, we will not conclude our standard mid-year promotion process as we typically would. We know that recognition and career progression matter deeply and this doesn't mean that performance isn't being recognized — it means we're aligning the timing of formal talent decisions with future talent discussions post-close.

***Getting more information***

**21.** **Who can I talk to if I have questions?** 

We are committed to supporting the Blue Crew and addressing questions as best we can with information and resources. We also know that some members of the Blue Crew may have special considerations, whether it may be an upcoming leave or a pending visa/work permit, that require special support and care. If you have questions or need more clarity, please don't hesitate to reach out to your ET member, manager, or HR business partner — we're here to support you and are committed to transparency every step of the way. In addition, you can find a dedicated page on Blink with a repository of information, which we'll continue to update to keep you informed.

## Exhibit 99.4

**Exhibit 99.4**

Good morning,

This morning, Blueprint announced that we have reached an agreement to be acquired by Sanofi for approximately $9.5 billion, or up to $135 per share in total consideration.

Key highlights of the transaction include:

· The per share purchase price represents a 33%, 35%, and 49% premium to the company's current share price, 30– and 60-day
volume-weighted average prices as of May 30, 2025, respectively.

· In addition to $129 per share in cash at closing, Blueprint shareholders will also receive one non-tradeable Contingent Value Right
(CVR) for each Blueprint share held. The CVRs represent the right to receive two contingent payments of $2 and $4 per share in cash related
to the achievement of certain clinical development and regulatory milestones for BLU-808. This represents additional potential upside
value for a pipeline that remains in development.

· The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions and approvals.

This is an important milestone in our journey as a company, and we believe there is no better strategic fit than with Sanofi. Blueprint's pipeline of innovative commercial- and development-stage therapies for mast cell diseases aligns seamlessly with Sanofi global leadership in rare diseases and immunology. With exceptional strength and global infrastructure in these areas spanning discovery to commercialization, Sanofi will enable us to accelerate our mission by expanding the reach and impact of our portfolio to many more patients globally. We are also pleased that our agreement with Sanofi will deliver significant, immediate, and certain value to our stockholders, and with the potential to receive additional value in the future through the CVRs.

You can read more about the transaction in the attached press release. [In addition, Sanofi plans to host a Zoom call for investors and analysts at [8:30 am CEST / 2:30 am ET]. The access information for the can be found in Sanofi's press release and is also pasted below for convenience.
