**Summit Therapeutics' Rights Offering Nearing Expiration Date**

*Rights Offering Seeks to Raise up to $500 Million*

**Menlo Park, California, February 23, 2023** - Summit Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: SMMT) ("Summit," "we," or the "Company") today announced that it is nearing the previously-announced expiration date for its rights offering of 5:00 pm Eastern Time on March 1, 2023 (the "Expiration Date"). As a reminder, the subscription price per share shall be equal to the lesser of (i) $1.05 per share or (ii) the volume weighted-average price of the Company's common stock for the five consecutive trading days through and including the Expiration Date. Importantly, for stockholders whose shares of our common stock are held in a brokerage account or are otherwise not registered directly with the Company, the deadline to exercise their subscription rights with their respective brokerage firms may be earlier. Information regarding specific broker-related deadlines should be obtained directly from the broker.

With respect to the rights offering, the Company has distributed non-transferable subscription rights to purchase up to 476,190,476 shares of common stock, for an aggregate offering value of up to $500 million. The subscription rights will expire and have no value if they are not exercised prior to the Expiration Date. The subscription price per share shall be equal to the lesser of (i) $1.05 per share (the "Initial Price") or (ii) the volume weighted-average price of the Company's common stock for the five consecutive trading days through and including the Expiration Date. Each stockholder received one subscription right entitling the holder to purchase 2.152353 shares of common stock at the Initial Price for each share of our common stock owned at 4:00 pm Eastern Time on February 6, 2023. The subscription price per share will determine the final number of shares issuable, and subsequently the pro rata number of shares to which stockholders can subscribe, as provided in the prospectus (described below).

A prospectus relating to the offering was filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 7, 2023 and is available on the SEC's website. The prospectus covers, among other things, the rights offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus carefully and the documents incorporated by reference in the prospectus, as well as the other documents Summit has filed with the SEC for more complete information about Summit and the rights offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC's website at <u>www.sec.gov</u>. Questions about the offering and requests for copies of the prospectus relating to the rights offering may be directed to Broadridge Corporate Issuers Solutions, LLC, the Company's information and subscription agent for the rights offering, at the email address and/or telephone number provided at the end of this release.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor will there be any sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. The rights offering is made pursuant to the Company's registration statement on Form S-3, which became effective on February 3, 2023, and the prospectus containing the detailed terms of the rights offering filed with the SEC. Any offer is made only by means of a prospectus forming part of the registration statement.
