Dear INTI Special Committee

Loan offer

Mayne Pharma Ventures Pty Ltd (Mayne Pharma) offers a loan to Inhibitor Therapeutics, Inc. (INTI) from 14 December 2020 in USD up to the Facility Limit for Purpose (both as defined below) as set out in this letter. This offer takes into account our negotiations with the INTI Special Committee over the last few weeks. It remains open for acceptance by INTI by signing a copy and returning it by email to generalcounsel@maynepharma.com before 5pm Monday 14 December 2020 US Eastern Standard Time, unless withdrawn or amended earlier by written notice to INTI by Mayne Pharma.

INTI has told Mayne Pharma that it has been encountering serious obstacles raising funds due to its having been named as a nominal defendant in derivative litigation in Delaware Chancery Court initiated by Hedgepath LLC in 2019 (HPLLC Litigation). The HPLLC Litigation also names Mayne Pharma and certain current and former directors and officers of INTI. It is anticipated that, absent a settlement, the HPLLC Litigation is likely to continue for well over a year. As a result of these obstacles, we understand INTI is facing the realistic possibility that it will run out of funds in the near future.

INTI wishes to be funded independently of Mayne Pharma, but as a result of the issues discussed above, the INTI Board has asked Mayne Pharma to consider providing ongoing funding on an interim basis in the form of a loan while the parties explore the possibility of an early resolution to the HPLLC Litigation. INTI has confirmed that the purpose of the funding is to obtain working capital to fund ongoing corporate expenses, including costs necessary to comply with legal and regulatory obligations going forward. INTI has stated that any funds received from Mayne Pharma will not be used to pay debts that are currently outstanding except as otherwise indicated herein.

Mayne Pharma urges INTI to obtain professional legal and financial advice regarding this offer. If INTI accepts this offer, Mayne Pharma may choose to discontinue the funding in its sole and absolute discretion at the end of any annual quarter, by giving INTI at least 30 days’ notice of such discontinuance before the end of that quarter.
