**<u>Forward Looking Statements</u>**

------

This communication contains "forward-looking statements" within the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements contained in this communication that are not statements of historical fact, including statements regarding the proposed Merger, including the expected timing and closing of the proposed Merger; the Company's ability to consummate the proposed Merger; the expected benefits of the proposed Merger and other considerations taken into account by the Company's Board of Directors in approving the proposed Merger; the amounts to be received by stockholders and expectations for the Company prior to and following the closing of the proposed Merger, may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. All such forward-looking statements are intended to provide management's current expectations for the future of the Company based on current expectations and assumptions relating to the Company's business, the economy and other future conditions. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified through the use of words such as "believes," "anticipates," "may," "should," "will," "plans," "projects," "expects," "expectations," "estimates," "forecasts," "predicts," "targets," "prospects," "strategy," "signs," and other words of similar meaning in connection with the discussion of future performance, plans, actions or events. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others: (i) the timing to consummate the proposed Merger; (ii) the risk that a condition to closing of the proposed Merger may not be satisfied or waived or that the closing of the proposed Merger might otherwise not occur; (iii) the risk that required regulatory approvals for the proposed Merger are not obtained, are delayed or are obtained subject to unexpected conditions; (iv) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, including in circumstances requiring the Company to pay a termination fee; (v) the risk that competing acquisition proposals may be made; (vi) risks related to the diversion of management's attention from the Company's ongoing business operations and opportunities; (vii) the effect of the announcement, pendency or completion of the proposed Merger on the Company's ability to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with customers, strategic partners, suppliers and other business counterparties; (viii) the risk that the proposed Merger and its announcement could adversely affect the market price of the Company's common stock or its operating results; (ix) unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the proposed Merger; (x) potential litigation relating to the proposed Merger that could be instituted against the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or their respective directors, officers or affiliates, including the effects of any outcomes related thereto; (xi) risks related to obtaining the financing necessary to consummate the proposed Merger, notwithstanding that Parent's obligation to complete the proposed Merger is not subject to a financing condition; (xii) changes in general economic, business, financial, credit or market conditions; (xiii) changes in laws, regulations or government policies affecting the Company's business, including healthcare, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, software, artificial intelligence, data privacy and cybersecurity regulations; (xiv) risks relating to the Company's ability to maintain and grow demand for its software products, consulting services and technology-enabled solutions; (xv) cybersecurity incidents, data breaches, system disruptions or other technology-related risks; and (xvi) the other risks and uncertainties described in the Company's filings with the SEC. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements. Investors, therefore, are cautioned against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Additional information regarding the factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements is available in the Company's filings with the SEC, including the risks and uncertainties identified in Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2025 and in the Company's other filings with the SEC. The list of risk factors is not intended to be exhaustive.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this communication, and the Company does not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement made in this communication or that may from time to time be made by or on behalf of the Company.

*Stockholders to Receive $18.50 Per Share in Cash Representing a 26% Premium to 60-day Volume-Weighted Average Price*

*Transaction to Strengthen Simulations Plus and Accelerate Growth Through Anticipated Combination with Chemical Computing Group* 

**RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC, June 16, 2026** – Simulations Plus, Inc. (Nasdaq: SLP) ("Simulations Plus" or the "Company"), a global leader in model-informed and AI-accelerated drug development that advances biopharma innovation, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by affiliates of Altaris, LLC ("Altaris"), an investment firm with an exclusive focus on acquiring and building companies in the healthcare industry, in an all-cash transaction. At or about the closing of the transaction, Altaris anticipates the Company will be combined with Chemical Computing Group ("CCG"), an existing Altaris portfolio company that provides advanced molecular design software to customers across the pharmaceutical, chemical and materials sectors.

Under the terms of the agreement, Simulations Plus common stockholders will receive $18.50 per share, representing a premium of 26% to Simulations Plus' 60-day volume-weighted average price as of June 15, 2026.

"The life sciences industry is at an inflection point, as software and services are rapidly evolving toward integrated, AI-driven platforms, cloud-based infrastructure, and more predictable, subscription-based business models. This transaction provides immediate and certain value to Simulations Plus stockholders, and we believe the transaction will better position us to serve our customers and accelerate innovation across product offerings." said Shawn O'Connor, Chief Executive Officer of Simulations Plus.

**Transaction Details**

The transaction, which was unanimously approved by the Simulations Plus Board of Directors, is subject to customary closing conditions including the receipt of approval of the Simulations Plus stockholders, required regulatory, and other similar approvals and closing conditions. The transaction is currently expected to close in the calendar fourth quarter of 2026.

The transaction is structured as an all-cash acquisition financed through a combination of committed equity and debt financing through funds affiliated with Altaris. The transaction is not subject to a financing contingency. In connection with the execution of the merger agreement, Simulations Plus cofounder and director Dr. Walter Woltosz has entered into a voting and support agreement with Altaris pursuant to which he has agreed to vote all of the shares beneficially owned by him in favor of the transaction at the special meeting of Simulations Plus stockholders that will be called to approve the merger.

Upon completion of the transaction, Simulations Plus' headquarters is expected to remain in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. Upon closing, Simulations Plus will become a privately held subsidiary of Altaris and its common stock will no longer be traded on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange.
