**XOMA Royalty Extends Tender Offer to Acquire LAVA Therapeutics N.V.** 

**EMERYVILLE, Calif., UTRECHT, The Netherlands, and PHILADELPHIA, Penn, – October 2, 2025, (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)** – XOMA Royalty Corporation ("XOMA Royalty") (NASDAQ: XOMA) and LAVA Therapeutics N.V. ("LAVA") (Nasdaq: LVTX) today announced the extension of the expiration of the tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of common shares of LAVA, for (i) a cash amount to be determined in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, plus (ii) a non-transferable contingent value right ("CVR") per share representing the right to receive 75% of the net proceeds related to LAVA's two partnered assets and 75% of any net proceeds from any out license or sale of LAVA's unpartnered programs (the "Offer").

The Offer, which was previously scheduled to expire one minute after 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on October 3, 2025, has been extended until one minute after 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on October 17, 2025, unless the Offer is further extended or earlier terminated. The proposed acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.

LAVA shareholders who previously have tendered their shares do not need to re-tender their shares or take any other action in response to the extension of the Offer. LAVA shareholders have signed support agreements to tender their shares in the Offer prior to the expiration date and support the Offer.

The closing of the Offer is subject to certain conditions, including the tender of LAVA common shares representing at least 80% (or, in certain cases, 75%) of LAVA's issued and outstanding shares, the condition that certain resolutions are adopted by LAVA's shareholders meeting, a minimum cash balance at closing, and other customary closing conditions. Following a subsequent offering period, LAVA will undergo a corporate reorganization designed to result in XOMA Royalty acquiring 100% of the shares in LAVA's successor and all then-remaining LAVA shareholders (other than XOMA Royalty) receiving the same cash and non-transferable contingent value right consideration per share as is provided in the tender offer, subject to applicable withholding taxes. LAVA will hold a shareholder's meeting in connection with the transactions prior to early November 2025.

**XOMA Royalty Forward-Looking Statements/Explanatory Notes** 

Certain statements contained in this press release are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the expected timing and ability to satisfy the conditions required to close the tender offer, the transactions related to the Purchase Agreement, the ability of XOMA Royalty to monetize LAVA's programs for the benefit of XOMA Royalty and LAVA shareholders, and the ability to achieve any dispositions within the disposition period under the CVR.

These forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of XOMA Royalty's performance, and you should not place undue reliance on such statements. These statements are based on assumptions that may not prove accurate, and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated due to certain risks including the risk that XOMA Royalty does not achieve the anticipated benefits from LAVA's two partnered assets or the potential out license or sale of LAVA's unpartnered programs, the risk that XOMA Royalty is unable to enter into dispositions related to the LAVA programs, and risks that the conditions to the closing the transaction in the Purchase Agreement are not satisfied. Other potential risks to XOMA Royalty meeting these expectations are described in more detail in XOMA Royalty's most recent filing on Form 10-Q and in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statement in this press release represents XOMA Royalty's beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this press release and should not be relied upon as representing its views as of any subsequent date.

**LAVA's Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements** 

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "anticipate", "believe", "could", "will", "may", "expect", "should", "plan", "intend", "estimate", "potential", "suggests", and similar expressions (as well as other words or expressions referencing future events, conditions or circumstances) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on LAVA's expectations and assumptions as of the date of this press release and are subject to various risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. As a result, a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including: the risk that the Transactions may not be completed in a timely manner, or at all, which may adversely affect LAVA's business and the price of its ordinary shares; the delay or failure of the Offer Conditions to be satisfied (or waived), including insufficient ordinary shares of LAVA being tendered in the Offer; the possibility that competing offers will be made; significant costs associated with the Transactions; the risk that any shareholder or other litigation in connection with the Transactions may result in significant costs of defense, indemnification and liability; the risk that activities related to the CVR Agreement may not result in any value to LAVA's shareholders; the possibility that prior to the completion of the Transactions, LAVA's or XOMA Royalty's business may experience significant disruptions due to transaction-related uncertainty; the effects of disruption from the transactions of LAVA's business and the fact that the announcement and pendency of the Transactions may make it more difficult to establish or maintain relationships with employees, manufacturers, suppliers, vendors or business partners; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Purchase Agreement; as well as potential adverse effects on LAVA's business condition and results from general economic and market conditions and overall fluctuations in the United States and international equity markets, including as a result of inflation, heightened interest rates, recent and potential future pandemics and other health crises, and hostilities, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East. These and other risks are described in greater detail under the caption "Risk Factors" in LAVA's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings LAVA makes with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). LAVA assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained herein whether as a result of any new information, future events, change in expectations or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.
