INTRODUCTION

This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule TO (this “Amendment”) is filed by Innoviva, Inc. (“Parent”), a Delaware corporation, and Innoviva Acquisition Sub, Inc. (the “Purchaser”), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with Securities and Exchange Commission on July 25, 2022, (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) by Parent and Purchaser and relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”) of La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company, a Delaware corporation (“La Jolla”), at a price of $6.23 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated July 25, 2022 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related letter of transmittal (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Letter of Transmittal”), which, together with any other related materials, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, collectively constitute the “Offer.” This Amendment is being filed on behalf of Parent and Purchaser.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, the information set forth in the Schedule TO and the Offer to Purchase, including Schedules I and II, remains unchanged and is incorporated herein by reference to the extent relevant to the matters set forth in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the meanings given to them in the Offer to Purchase. This Amendment should be read together with the Schedule TO.

Items 1 through 9 and Item 11

The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase and in items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

“The Offer expired one minute after 11:59 P.M., New York City time, on August 19, 2022 (such time and date, the “Expiration Time”). The Depositary has advised Parent that, as of the Expiration Time, 21,703,224 Shares were validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, which Shares represent approximately 87.03% of the outstanding Shares. Accordingly, the Minimum Condition has been satisfied and all other conditions to the Offer were satisfied or waived. Promptly after the expiration of the Offer, Purchaser irrevocably accepted for payment, and expects to promptly pay for, all Shares that were validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer.

On August 22, 2022, Parent issued a press release announcing the expiration and results of the Offer and the completion of the Merger (as defined below). The full text of the press release is attached as Exhibit (a)(5)(B) hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

As a result of Purchaser’s acceptance for payment of the Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer (together with the Shares beneficially owned by Parent prior to the commencement of the Offer), Purchaser acquired sufficient Shares to complete the merger of Purchaser into La Jolla in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL without a vote of La Jolla’s stockholders, with La Jolla surviving as the Surviving Corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). Parent and La Jolla effected the Merger on August 22, 2022, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 10, 2022 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Innoviva, La Jolla, and Purchaser. At the Effective Time, each Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares, Shares owned by Parent or Purchaser or Shares held in the treasury of La Jolla or owned by any wholly owned subsidiary of La Jolla) were, without any further action on the part of the holder of such Share, converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, payable to the holder thereof upon surrender of the certificate formerly representing, or book-entry transfer of, such Share. Additionally, at the Effective Time, each Preferred Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than dissenting Preferred Shares, Preferred Shares owned by Parent or Purchaser or Preferred Shares held in the treasury of La Jolla or owned by any wholly owned subsidiary of La Jolla) were, without any further action on the part of the holder of such Preferred Share, converted into the right to receive the Preferred Share Price, payable to the holder thereof upon surrender of the certificate formerly representing, or book-entry transfer of, such Preferred Share.

Following the consummation of the Merger, the Shares were delisted and ceased to trade on Nasdaq. Parent and La Jolla intend to take steps to cause the termination of the registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act and the suspension of all of La Jolla’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable.”

Innoviva Completes Acquisition of La Jolla Pharmaceutical

BURLINGAME, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Aug. 22, 2022— Innoviva, Inc. (Nasdaq: INVA) (“Innoviva”), a diversified holding company with a portfolio of royalties and a growing portfolio of innovative healthcare assets, today announced that its tender offer to purchase any and all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company (Nasdaq: LJPC) (“La Jolla”) at a price of $6.23 per share (the “Offer Price”), net to the seller in cash, without interest and less required withholding taxes, expired one minute after 11:59 p.m. New York City time on Friday, August 19, 2022. Today, following the consummation of the tender offer, Innoviva successfully completed its acquisition of La Jolla, which is dedicated to the commercialization of innovative therapies that improve outcomes in patients suffering from life-threatening diseases.

La Jolla brings to Innoviva an established product portfolio, including GIAPREZA® (angiotensin II), approved to increase blood pressure in adults with septic or other distributive shock and XERAVA® (eravacycline) for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAIs).

“The acquisition of La Jolla strengthens our footprint in the hospital and infectious disease spaces by adding a robust portfolio of marketed products and an excellent team,” said Pavel Raifield, Chief Executive Officer of Innoviva. “It is also highly complementary to Entasis, providing an established platform to bring SUL-DUR, a differentiated anti-infective, to patients if approved. We look forward to working together as a stronger, combined company serving the needs of patients, physicians, and hospitals.”

Additional Transaction Details

The depositary for the tender offer has advised that, as of the expiration of the tender offer, a total of 21,703,224 shares of La Jolla’s common stock were validly tendered and not withdrawn in the tender offer. Such shares of La Jolla’s common stock represent approximately 87.03% of the shares, which satisfied the minimum condition for the tender offer. All conditions of the offer were satisfied and Innoviva completed its acquisition of all issued and outstanding equity securities of La Jolla for the Offer Price. Additionally, as a consequence of the merger, each share of La Jolla’s Series C-12 Convertible Preferred Stock (other than those as to which holders properly exercise dissenters’ rights and those owned at the commencement of the tender offer by Innoviva or its affiliates) was automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to 1,724.04 times the Offer Price. As a result of the acquisition, La Jolla became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Innoviva and the company’s common stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market.

For additional background on the acquisition, please read the announcement press release here.
