Tempest Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company") is party to various litigation matters given its predecessor, Millendo Therapeutic Inc.'s role as successor to OvaScience, Inc. ("OvaScience"). As previously disclosed, purported shareholder derivative actions were filed in Massachusetts State court (Cima v. Dipp) and federal district court for the District of Massachusetts (Chiu v. Dipp) against OvaScience and certain former officers and directors of OvaScience alleging breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement and waste of corporate assets for purported actions related to OvaScience's January 2015 follow-on public offering. On March 23, 2023, the Cima court preliminarily approved a settlement of the Cima action. Upon final approval of the Cima action, a motion to dismiss the Chiu action will be filed. Additional information concerning the terms of the settlement can be found in the Notice of Pendency and Proposed Settlement of Stockholder Derivative Actions, which are available on the Company's website, at https://ir.tempesttx.com/investor-resources/notices.
